We asked Nelly Furtado to rewatch her 2007 Junos hosting gig and tell us what she learned from it before hosting again in 2024
Nelly Furtado first hosted the 2007 Juno Awards in Saskatoon, and she says it "took a few years off of my life." But that didn't stop her from saying yes again when she was asked to host this year's awards, being held in Halifax on March 24.
To mark the occasion, CBC Music asked the singer and host to rewatch some of the most memorable moments from her 2007 gig in which she, among other things, flew down from the rafters dressed like a bird, spoofed her hit song "Promiscuous" and channelled a Portuguese aunt — "a total maneater," she says — in a skit with Michael Bublé that left him in a little bit of pain.
For this year, she says she's leaving the comedy to the professionals and focusing on what she knows best. "I want to make it more about the music and the party and the energy and just have a really good time." The trick is to just "detach and try your best," she says, adding: "Don't troll me. Don't hate on me. Thank you."Host Nelly Furtado is bringing the party to the 2024 Juno Awards on Sunday, March 24, at 8 p.m ET.
