Feist dominates Canadian awards

Feist

Pop star Feist has won five prizes, including album of the year at the Junos, Canada's top music awards.

"It's a nice moment but I don't know that music is meant to be a competition," said the 32-year-old.

Feist took the honours for single of the year for 1234, album and pop album for The Reminder, as well as artist and songwriter of the year.

The awards cap a successful year for Feist, who rose to fame after 1234 was used to advertise the Apple iPod.

She was also nominated for Grammy and Brit awards.

'Blood and tears'

Feist collected the trophies and performed at the Juno Awards, which were held at the Saddledome arena in her home city of Calgary.

"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 said.

Veteran country rockers Blue Rodeo won three awards for group for the year, best adult alternative album for Small Miracles and best video for C'mon.

Singer Michael Buble took home the Juno fan choice award, while indie band Wintersleep took home the Juno for new group.

Paul Brandt won country recording of the year for Risk, while 1970s band Triumph were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame.
