The Biebs got the most fan votes and bested
other top Canadian acts Drake, Carly Rae
Jepsen, and more for the title.
Despite the
constant
negative
publicity that
surrounds
him and
recent
multiple
controversies
that hound
his career,
pop
heartthrob
Justin Bieber
continues to
win the
hearts of his fellow Canadians. The " Believe"
artist got the most fan votes and bested other
nominees for the Fave Artist/Group prize at
the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards that took
place on June 16 in Toronto, Canada.
Bieber edged other top contenders for the
award which included the night's rare double-
winners Drake, who won the Director of the
Year and Hip-Hop Video of the Year honors for
"Started from the Bottom", and Marianas
Trench, who bagged the Fave Video and Pop
Video of the Year for "Desperate Measures".
Another top Canadian act who was beaten out
by the massive popularity of The Biebs but was
likewise a winner in another category was
Deadmau5 who nabbed Dance Video of the
Year for "The Veldt" featuring Chris James.
The Ferrari-driving Bieber also handily won
over another pop superstar, Carly Rae Jepsen,
who got nominations in two other categories
where Bieber was also nominated. However,
both of them lost out to Macklemore & Ryan
Lewis in the International Video of the Year by
a Canadian category. Despite the fan-fueled
achievement, Bieber was unfortunately a no-
show at the awards ceremony.
In contrast, present to receive her award for
Fave International Artist or Group was country-
pop superstar Taylor Swift who was fortunately
in Toronto at the time of the MuchMusic
Awards for her " Red" album tour. Other
winners in the PSY-hosted event were Demi
Lovato , who won the International Video of the
Year for "Heart Attack" and Avril Lavigne who
won for the same award among Canadian
artists for "Here's to Never Growing Up".
