July 28th, 2010 - Toronto, Ontario - We had a feeling, that this night was going to be a good night, we had a feeling ♫ wooooh hoooo ♫
Given their tremendous success in 2010 it is no surprise that the 2010 Top Choice Music Group of the Year is the Black Eyed Peas! Normally when we conduct our Canadian Top Choice Award survey it is our intention to send the award to the winners, release the results and even travel to present the award in person. With the Black Eyed Peas we got lucky, because we got them right in the middle of the Canadian leg of their World Tour, which had 2 shows in Toronto.
The Black Eyed Peas are renowned for their spectacular live performances and Toronto was no exception. The group performed two sold out shows at the Air Canada Centre and we were able to catch up with them while they enjoyed some much deserved rest and relaxation at Luxy Entertainment Complex, Toronto’s new destination for high-profile celebrity after parties.
Things were tense in Luxy as guests anticipated their arrival and as the limo pulls in the crowd exploded with excitement; it stayed that way the entire night! Security was pretty tight, even for the media, but we were able to present the award to the group. The award was received by front man and co-founder Will.i.am, who had this to say “Wow this is great, all I can say is that we love our Canadian fans and we thank them for their support.”
It is nights like this that are true examples of what the Black Eyed Peas are made of, they go from performing at the ACC to celebrating at Luxy to receiving the Top Choice Award and will pack up and do it all again tomorrow in another city! That takes dedication and passion, which also happen to be necessities to receiving the Top Choice Award.
We knew it was going to be a good night...and that’s exactly what it was!
