Nelly Kim Furtado (born December 2, 1978) is a Portuguese-Canadian recording artist, songwriter, record producer and actress. Her folk-pop debut album, Whoa Nelly! spawned hits such as "I'm Like a Bird", "Turn Off the Light" and "Shit on the Radio (Remember the Days)". Her second album based on the folk-pop template, Folklore, didn't do as well, sparking a change of direction musically.In 2006 she released the controversial Loose, which was produced by Timbaland. While Loose has been her most successful release to date, spawning rave reviews and receiving Gold and Platinum accreditations worldwide, Furtado also received criticism for "selling out" and sexing up her image to sell records.In 2009 Furtado released Mi Plan, a Latin rock album recorded entirely in Spanish. This was also a success (though not the worldwide smash Loose was), going Platinum in the US and charting in many European countries. A Greatest Hits Album was released the next year.Her fifth studio album, The Spirit Indestructible, was released in September 2012.

New Sound Album
 Nelly Furtado (Music) / int_22093e9b
comment
New Sound Album: Loose marked a radical change from her previous towards an R&B-crunk direction, with some people comparing her to Gwen Stefani. Mi Plan was a throwback to her folk-rock roots but really leaned more towards traditional Latin rock with some dance-pop thrown in for good measure. The Spirit Indestructible is more focused on world music.

Singing Voice Dissonance
 Nelly Furtado (Music) / int_9c5ed17
comment
Singing Voice Dissonance: Her speaking voice is pretty much your typical American's voice, no major accent present. Her singing voice? Accent in full force. However, her more American singing moments aren't QUITE as jarring, but they're still a little surprising. Her second language is also shocking, given her English sounds that Portuguese, but her Portuguese is akin to a Lisbon native.

Ambiguously Bi: In a June 2006 interview with Genre magazine, when asked if she had "ever felt an attraction to women", Furtado replied, "Absolutely. Women are beautiful and sexy." Some fans considered this an announcement of bisexuality but, in August 2006, she stated that she was "straight, but very open-minded".

Nothing Is Scarier: The music video for "Maneater" shows Nelly lose her dog Toby and going underground to look for him. She only hears briefly his dog barks and a cat meowing. Then nothing for the remainder of the opening up until her character is surrounded by hungry underground club vampires...Then the song starts.
