WWF: The Music Volume 5 debuted at #2 on the Billboard Chart. To that, I say: wow. Wow because the WWF released the themes of their biggest stars on volumes 3 and 4, hence, volume 5 is filled with a bunch of jobber themes. Raven? Too Cool? The One Badd Rockabilly Ass Billy Gunn? Does anyone have a pressing need to have their themes? Kurt Angle is a true superstar, but come on, in what POSSIBLE setting would you want to hear his theme music? Besides, I see an image change in the near future for him. He's being pushed (finally) as a more vicious character, and when they've flushed the rest of the goofiness out of him, his music should transform much in the way that HHH's did (from Beethoven to Rage to Motorhead). But even worse: whose stupid idea was it to let the Rock do a rap song? In theory, a Rock rap about his favourite, ahem, dessert was a good idea, but the song sucks and his "rapping" is straight off a 1988 Fresh Prince record.

Also, considering that Nelly Furtado's competition in the Best New Artist category lily-white folk and country artists, what exactly could she have meant when she said that her Juno represented the diversity of Canadian musicians? Sure, her music is somewhat influenced by her Portuguese background, but overall, it's just standard Lilith Fair stuff. Since her competition for her two big awards (New artist, Best album) were plain ordinary white people and the tried and true MOR staples (The Hip, BNL) her Juno wins were more a representation of a boring year in Canadian music than anything else.
