Whoa Nelly! - Nelly Furtado Reviews

Whoa Nelly! was the first album released by Nelly Furtado, and the first album of hers I bought, way back when I was in college (it was released in 2001). What drew me to the album was that the singles she'd released from it were so different, yet all good in their way. When I bought the album I wasn't disappointed. The album has pop, ...  Read the complete review

WHOA NELLY is the title of Nelly Furtado's debut album featuring some dance songs and ballads. The album consists of 13 tracks which I will review. The opening song HEY MAN is a fast paced dance song with good vocals and strong vocals. The rhythm of the music is good and has a funky beat. ON THE RADIO features some ...  Read the complete review

Recently I dug out some of the old albums I have had for a long time and haven't listened to in a while. Whoa Nelly by Nelly Furtado was one of the ones that I really enjoyed listening to again. This album was released in 2000, and I believe it was her debut album. When I bought this album, Nelly had just released the single 'I'm like a ...  Read the complete review

Nelly Furtado - Whoa Nelly!! I absolutley love this album. So fresh and fun and so unlike she is now. We will never get the old Nelly back ever!! This album was released in 2001 and consists of 16 tracks and includes the ever popular "im like a bird" which everyone seems to love. I remember first ...  Read the complete review

When I heard the single 'Like a bird' it got my attention (so little pop music does), but as much as I liked it I didn't get too enthusiastic, I thought it would be a one off as usual. When I then heard 'Turn off the light' on the radio, I recognised Nelly Furtado immediately and new I wanted to hear more. Nothing gives me a ...  Read the complete review

'Whoa Nelly!' is the debut album of Nelly Furtado, the 23 year old Portuguese-Canadian. The album is full of gems and will take your breath away with its sheer diversity. Furtado has a mesmerising voice that can sway thought the softest of ballads and then explode into all out rap. While the base of the album is undoubtedly ...  Read the complete review

I'm eclectic me, (stop sniggering at the back), honest I am, its not the kind of thing I shout from the rafters about as more often than not I get bombarded with people mocking my latest 'in album', well I'm going to try again, problem is....... this isn't my latest in album, I've been listening to it constantly since this ...  Read the complete review

The Times declares this 'an early contender for album of the year', but frankly speaking, I found it rather disappointing. For a singer with such an attitude on her, you would expect a punchy album that would leave you humming chorus after chorus. Unfortunately, though it's not a bad first attempt, the sameness of her songs means ...  Read the complete review

This album since being released in the UK in March has been subject to unsurprising scrutiny. Nelly Furtado, a portugese-canadian, who is daughter of the Latin legend Tony Furtado, is a determined and very talented young woman. At 21 she has already stormed americas music scene with this latin edged hip hop debut and upon release in ...  Read the complete review

Nelly Furtado's Whoa, Nelly! is one of those albums that's made to be a surprising, precocious debut — the kind of record that's meant to make a listener sit up and say, well, "whoa nelly" upon the first listen . From that first play, it's evident that Furtado is indeed an audacious songwriter, not at all ...  Read the complete review

Nelly Furtado, the Portuguese/Canadian singer-songwriter, has already had a massive hit in the UK with 'I'm Like A Bird'. And now she's about to do the same with the forthcoming single 'Turn Off The Light'. These two tracks are perfect for sampling the album's diversity. Across 13 tracks, Nelly and her nasal whiny ...  Read the complete review

This is the debut album from the Portuguese-Canadian singer and combines a vast array of different styles of music. On one hand you have the standard pop music theme running through the album. Hip-hop beats can be heard on many tracks including the excellent 'Hey, Man'. 'I'm Like a Bird' which has had extensive ...  Read the complete review

I remember the first time I saw her video, I hated it. I didn't like her voice at all. Then I heard the song on the radio, for some reason it was easier to swallow. More and more times I heard it, until I grew to love her distinctive voice. I'm sick of these boring, thin, voices of all the other girls. Nelly has some meat and grit in her ...  Read the complete review

Blame it on the bossa nova, but this chick has got soul. By filtering her Portuguese roots through the trip-hop she was weaned on, Nelly Furtado creates a hypnotic form of R&B/alterna-pop that at times sounds like Fiona Apple, Macy Gray, and Gwen Stefani all rolled into a Portishead song. Cutting her teeth at four Lilith Fair dates before even ...  Read the complete review

Well the other opinions give you very deep insites into the music and Nelly so I will avoid those topics. What I want to say is that I loved the single and after seeing her sing live on T4 SUNDAY decided I must buy it, not having heard anymore. The albumn was not like the single at all and thats what I love about it - I am only just ...  Read the complete review

i've listened to this cd about a dozen times, and frankly, i still can't classify it under a particular genre. that's not a bad thing, though, because nelly is not all over the place on her debut album. you can identify her style, but like beck for example, it's unique to her and her alone. try picturing a melange of r&b, ...  Read the complete review

Nelly Furtado is currently riding high in the UK charts with her debut single "I'm like a bird". Nelly's debut album came out at the beginning of March 2000 and although I have only owned it for a week, I keep it in the 5 disc changer of my cd player and can say that I have listened to it about 3 or 4 times a day. To ...  Read the complete review

I was felling sorry for myself and felt like no one understood me etc, etc. You get the picture - as tragic as it was!. Anyway - there I was feeling ...  Read the complete review
