Thus far, I have tried to respect you and your opinion, but you had to get all stupid and corny with that Cyberpunk shit. Let me have my own opinion, I don't like Nelly Furtado, she's a wack Bitch to me. Move on, get over it, and get a life. Take your cyber-feminism and shove it up your ass, I don't give a damn about it. I don't get all wrapped up in that bitch shit like you do. It doesn't bother me. Oh and just for the record, don't try to use my definition of Bitch and use it for your own justification, it's who "I" considered a bitch not "you", so get some originality while you're working to get over that lame thing too.

13485, Nelly is *Wick Wick Wack*
Posted by mellow, Mon Dec-10-01 09:11 PM
Sorry,

I haven't touched this subject being i'm a canuck and all, but sorry i don't feel her at all.

I don't want to shit on somebody needlessly, but when u put someone on a pedastal, then they gotta be ready to bring some heat.

She does have some appeal, but coming into the urban circle, she's not cutting it...again, this is my opinion.

The remix for 'freak on' with her was appalling (sp). She did nothing more than make noises with her mouth. How missy let that track out in public still baffles me.

But.......when i heard timbaland's remix of "turn out the lights", that beat was sick.

Which yet again proves, strong production can make a weak ass artist sound that much more 'bearable'.

Now for those who do respect, please tell me what are the things about her that are so entertaining or skilled. I say this in all seriousness. I want to see what angle am i not looking at her from.

I think her voice sounds alright actually. I still prefer hers to gwen stefani's.she's got more soul. the reason her album is so weak, is because she is surrounded by the wrong people, people that have turned her into nothing but a neat pop star. but I think that when served a hot beat, she can hold ish down ("turn off the lights"-rmx). and if that's not evidence enough, the roots-track, I'm sure will prove I'm right. looking forward to that.

"But.......when i heard timbaland's remix of "turn out the lights", that beat was sick."

But then again "Turn off the lights" (Timbalan remix) is the only song of hers that I have heard. I didn't think she added much to the Missy remix but then again I ddidn't like the song in the first place.

So I guess I can't say I like "her" quite yet.

Much like when I heard "You Got Me" (no I don't like that song at all, yes I knew it was their radio hit), I plan to shrug this one off with typical "they gotta eat" rationalization.

(In other news, Nelly Furtado's album is actually quite good for its genre. Not saying I'd buy it, but I was impressed, despite the fact she sounds like a spastic female Bone Thug.)

?uest clearly wants the TRL fame this time out, and will probably make songs with that crowd in mind. I'm not necessarily mad at him, I just hope the album is better than TFA.

Nelly voice sickens me. Her persona sickens me. I would rather PINK collabo with The Roots than Nelly Futardo(HEH HEH)

Welcome to okayplayer, Ms. Nelly Furtado.

And we're all surprised artists aren't enthusiastic about the internet ? LOL

Maybe we can all wait until we HEAR what her collabo-ing with The Roots sound like ? You can hate as much as you want then.

For now, all replies are based on the way she looks or what you've heard from her so far (which is probably 2 songs).

And some of y'all are probably jealous that it was ?uest who bought her a cake, and not you. ;-)

Nelly furtado's voice, is up there with dragging your nails across the chalk board.

How did her ass end up on DIVAS with all those LEGENDS?

All I have to say is I'm glad she wasn't at the VANCOUVER Area:One date, I was dreading that moment, and rather than Nelly Furtado what did I get? A wicked amazing version of "You Got Me" with many time changes, and beat changes, far more entertaining.

I'd much rather see Jill Scott, Jag, up on the tracks w/the roots crew, Shit, why don't we just get Scratch to kick me in the nuts and I'll wail like Furtado for a few minutes (While crying at the same time).

i gotta agree, the get your freak on remix sucked ass, but look beyond that. look at that fly like a bird song, and pretty much all her shit, and you see she has talent. i for one am glad she's collabing w/ the roots. ever since the beginning of the affair w/ her, back when area:one was announced, i was lookin forward to her singing the hook on you got me, and i'm glad she got the chance. nelly's cool. stop hatin.

Posted by DROots, Wed Dec-12-01 03:35 PM
have somewhat of an open mind. just cause nelly may not be in the roots normal circle of friends, doesn't mean it should be unheard of that they collab w/ them!! have an open mind! music is music anyway you cut it. Plus, compared to some of her colleagues in the pop world, nelly ain't that bad/ annoying.

and now, the best christmas song ever:

Horatio Sanz- Backpacker guitar/vocals
Jimmy Fallon- keyboard sound effects
Tracy Morgan- lead dancer/vocals
(there's one more guy in the background. who is it? parnell?)

without further ado:
i don't care what your momma says,
christmas time is nneeeaaarrrr.

i don't care what your daddy says,
christmas time is neeeaarr.

All i know is that santa's sleigh,
is makin' it's way to the USA.

i don't care what the mayor says,
christmas is full of cheeeerrrr.

i don't care if they think it's a lie,
christmas will soon be heeerrreee.

i don't care about the CIA,
i don't care what the calendar say.

i wish it were christmas todaaayyy (x2)
