"1,2,3,4" wins 5 Junos for Feist
8/4/2008 9:49

Feist dominated Canada's music awards on Sunday, scooping up five Junos for a year in which the singer-songwriter shot to international stardom when Apple Inc. used her single "1234" in iPod TV ads.

Feist, 32, won the top Canadian music honors for single of the year for the breezy "1234," album and pop album for "The Reminder," as well as artist and songwriter of the year.

She collected the trophies and performed at the Juno Awards show at the Saddledome arena in her hometown of Calgary, Alberta, two blocks from a community hall where she began her musical career as Leslie Feist, her full name.

"This was a good event and it was a nice marker for a year -- a nice recognition for everyone who's out there, sweating blood and tears," she told reporters. "It's a nice moment but I don't know that music is meant to be a competition."
