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."
