News to me!

Post Sat Mar 26, 2005 2:57 pm

Imagine my surprise and dismay to discover that Mariah Carey (supposedly) is Canadian. At least, according to an article on divas in today's Independent, she is.

Personally, I question the veracity of the statement. Your thoughts?

Don't panic, the article was wrong. :) She's American, was born in New York.

So we only have Celine Dion to contend with.

...and Shania Twain, even though she lives in Switzerland.

Personally, I prefer the smaller groups from Canada...

Lovenbodyparts (Ottawa)
Haywire (East Coast) (no longer together)

I'm sure there are more -- anybody have any additions?

Barenaked ladies?

I'm actually not a fan of any of the above mentioned :) But there are others I enjoy. Sam Roberts, Tegan & Sara, and all the indie bands sprouting up these days. A lot of good ones from Montreal.
