[2003] Do you like Nelly Furtado?

She's stated in interviews that she hung out with all hip-hop kids when she was younger and knew she would return to that style eventually; Loose is that. I like all three of her albums. Her dancing is horrible though. I wish someone would sit her in front of an Amuro concert for inspiration.

no. she's not that talented and she totally sold out becoming a big skank singing about NOTHING but SEX crap

Someone hasn't actually listened to the album and the songs that aren't about sex (over half)!

She writes/co-produces all her songs, which is still better than most pop singers out there.

I'm glad you feel the same way. I felt like she sold out at first, but after listening to the album FULLY I realized that she really hadn't and that much of the album is still her musical roots, but hip-hop/etc. is what she's wanted to do for awhile, it just happens to be in right now. The fact that she writes her music is huge and something rarely seen from many mainstream pop acts. It should be respected and not tossed aside like she has "no talent".
