  1. The nominee that I want to win for the Fan Choice Award is Marianas Trench. One reason why I want them to win is the fact that their music videos have different concepts every time but it also trying to tell a story. Another reason why I want them to win is the fact that their music is both modern day pop with a twist of rock in there. This is one reason why they should win because today, music mostly only consists of pop music that we all hear on the radio. It is nice to hear music with the mix of 2 different genres. The final reason why I think Marianas Trench should win is that their songs is a variety of topics, it isn't just about fame or love and the fact that the whole band is included especially in the music videos! These are just some reasons why I think Marianas Trench should win!

  2. The nominee that I would like to win for the Fan Choice Award is Marianas Trench. The reason why I want(ed) them to win is because their music is really hard to explain, but I like how the beats go. Their songs are really catchy and have meanings to them. Their songs sometimes makes me want to get up on my feet and just groove around. Lastly, the lead singer has an amazing voice and can reach really high notes.

  3. The nominee that I want to win for the Fan Choice Award would have to be Marianas Trench. There many reasons as to why I would choose Marianas Trench to win. One would be because of their type of music. They have this incredible pop yet rock sound to it. I like how, though they are somewhat of a rock band, they are not too loud and they always seem to have perfect beats to their songs. Another reason would be their songs and its lyrics in particular. The lyrics to their songs make sense unlike many of those you hear on the radio where the lyrics make absolutely no sense and seems very irrelevant. You often hear Marianas Trench on the radio with their catchy and upbeat songs. The third reason would be because of their sound as a band. Josh Ramsay has great vocals with the ability to hit a high range. Along with their two guitarist and drummer. Without one another, they wouldn't produce the same kind of tone and sound. These are the reasons why I think Marianas Trench deserves the Fan Choice Award.

  4. The nominee I would pick to win the Fan Choice Award, would have to be:Marianas Trench.Firstly because ,all of them sing in the band, which is unusual for a band. You don’t really see four guys up on stage singing. There is usually just a lead singer, so I think that is pretty rare. they are just fun,and edgy pop/rock. Which shows, that’s a completely different thing. I also like how even though many of there songs are pop/rock, there not screaming out loud, like most rock bands. Also many of there songs are very catchy, in tune, lyrics, and the melody, which makes it more intriguing to listen to. The beat to there songs are also very catchy and up tempo, which makes it have a very cool rhythmic feel to it.I also really like how everyone in the band looks very friendly/inviting. Marianas Trench have a lot of fun and upbeat music, and some very meaningful, so all of there songs are new and fresh. Lastly I like how one of the singers in the band can sing really high notes, which makes there sound very cool. So those are my reasons, why I picked this band to win the fan choice awards.

  8. I say Marianas Trench should win the Fan Choice Award. First of all they make wonderful. They have an/the lead singer have an amazing voice that is good for singing both rock and pop songs. Lastly while they were singing they don't do voices that is very "rock and roll" they sing their songs with fine voices.

  10. I think Justin Bieber should win because he is like the most famous Canadian singer today, almost everyone loves to listen to his music. He is a good singer, too, all his songs were always a hit. And I would say that his songs is very catchy, I'm not a fan of Justin Bieber but when I hear his new song I cant get it out of my head.And thats the reason why I think he should win the Juno.

  11. I think justin Bieber should win this award of course! First of all he's extremely talented. His music is just so meaningful with the way he uses his lyrics in every single song he writes/sings. But not only can he sing, he's that all around musician where he's able to play piano, drums, guitar, can dance and do them all so well too! Also everyone knows that he's an amazing performer with all the upbeat songs but if you strip that all down to just him, his guitar, and his music.. When he sings acoustically it's just flawless. These are just some of the reasons why I think he should win this award but I'll stop here because I think I've said too much already.

  12. Well I think Justin Bieber should win this award because he is just all around talented and at such a young age too! He was signed and found because of his pure talent. No one could achieve what he has done and proven. He is definitely a role model to everyone. His music speaks to so much people and he speaks to us through his music. I can't describe how hard he has worked for this and how much he gave up for his dream to come true. He has so much support and not only because of his looks ;) but because he's an all around artist who deserves recognition. Most people would say its just auto tune or fixes made to his voice in the studio. Yes, those may be true but what artist doesnt? The only difference is that justin doesnt NEED a studio. Just him and his guitar. When he plays acoustically, nobody can say he doesnt have talent and no one can correct him because he truly is flawless. Im pretty sure thats more than 3 reasons but it's all true and Justin is an amazing artist no matter what ANYONE says :)

  13. The nominee that I would pick for the fans choice award is Celine Dion. Celine Dion has an amazing, beautiful, and high range voice. She could sing at the top of her lungs and wont crack. Some of her songs like "My Heart Will Go On, and "Because You Loved Me" became a big hit back in the 1980's and 90's. A lot of people like to listen to her slow jams because of how smooth her voice can be. The gentleness and soft sound of her voice makes everyone want to just sway to it. My mom and I would always listen to her songs when I was young, and I am pretty sure that almost everyone in this world knows who Celine Dion is.
