Pros: A diverse offering
Cons: Nelly's nasal twang
Summary: The Grammy’s are the biggest bunch of horse manure to ever claim to be awards. They buy into the whole we’re hip and we’re cool vibe and shun quality artists. I’m still bitter that they nominated India.Arie for 7 Grammy’s and embarrassed her by ... read more

Pros: Diverse instrumentation and clever lyrics.
Cons: Some creative attempts fall flat. Nelly's voice can be a bit grating at times.
Summary: Twenty-six-year-old Nelly Furtado has set her sights much higher than on becoming just another predictable pop star. Her debut album, Whoa, Nelly!, makes that fact abundantly clear. Raised in British Columbia by her Portuguese family, Nelly took ... read more

Pros: Her voice is BEAUTIFUL. All songs are excellent, and well produced.
Cons: Absolutely nothing.
Summary: Well, here I am writing my next review. Maybe I'll get it right this time, If I learn how to listen to people's advice. Anyway, I bought this album seven months ago. I wanted to purchase it the day of release, but I never did. I really wanted it for ... read more

Pros: Amazing vocals from a fresh new artists. Hopefully she will go far.
Cons: Noticeable debut album.
Summary: The 2000 release of Nelly Furtado's debut album Whoa. Nelly!, was underrated to say the least. It was first priced very cheaply, I mean seriously I got it at a local Wal-Mart for under $10. Despite it all this album has proven to be a diamond in ... read more

Pros: Never-heard, unique sound; not the crappy pop we are, unfortunately, used to
Cons: One or two boring tracks
Summary: After hearing 'Whoa Nelly!', I came to the conclusion that I like Nelly Furtado. She has a new flavor, something we haven't heard before. Her sound is fresh and enjoyable.
As I read the liner notes, I was amazed to see that Nelly wrote the ... read more

Pros: Different to your average music
Cons: none at all

Pros: Good party music, really upbeat and fast. Very diverse
Cons: If you buy the album in the U.S. you don't get song 13
Summary: after downloading a couple other songs off the internet, I thought I should just go ahead and buy the album. It seemed that ever song I downloaded was a good one that I wanted to keep and listen to, so might as well save some time and just buy the CD. ... read more

Pros: Addictive, smart, fresh, pseudo-hip-hop diva! An amazing album.
Cons: NONE!
Summary: Whoa Nelly indeed! This album sounds shoddy at times because of its production, but there's still a writing talent deep down under those hip-hop street beats. Amazing array of diverse sounds throughout. A mixture of radio-friendly songs like "I'm ... read more

Pros: she's different, very talented and can sing very well
Cons: a little too different with some weird songs...
Summary: Unlike the rapper, Nelly Furtado sings soulful music and not really to get down to, but are very true and makes you want to sing along. I bought her cd only because I loved her songs, "I'm Like a Bird" and "Turn Off the Light". As I listened to her ... read more

Pros: Nelly has a beautiful voice.
Cons: None.
Summary: When I first heard Nelly Furtado's "I'm Like A Bird" this early spring when I was going to school to try to become a licensed nurse. I really enjoyed listening to that tune. It is a slow beat type of song, but sometimes, I like to listen to slow songs. ... read more

Pros: Very new, very different, very unique. Strong Vocals
Cons: To unseasoned music veteran, songs can sound bit crude - thankfully, goes away
Summary: If you buy the album thinking all the songs are like "Bird", then don't bother. Each song is unique in it's own way. The album is like a breath of fresh air in a market of rock and punk music.
I highly recommend this to any one looking for a type ... read more

Pros: Very different from the pop divas, Nelly is talented in songwriting and music
Cons: Website is a pain in the bum to navigate, More slow songs would be nice
Summary: When I first heard Nelly's first single, "I'm Like A Bird", I didn't really notice the words, and just wrote her off as another pop diva with managers that just handed music and words to her for her to perform. After I heard her next two singles, "Turn ... read more

Pros: Convention is tossed to the wind.
Cons: The karma on the album doesn't dictate for this.
Summary: This is the best way to describe Whoa, Nelly!, the debut from Nelly Furtado. Nelly has a nimble, liberated voice and she has this style. It goes beyond je ne se qua (I hope I spelled that right). You might even go so far as to say that she is in a ... read more

Pros: Lighthearted, catchy, smart and soulful.
Cons: none
Summary: When I bought this CD on a friend's recommendation, I was thoroughly sick and tired of hearing "I'm Like A Bird" being played every five minutes on the radio. I had lumped it into the "silly teenage pop" category and totally dismissed it... until I ... read more

Pros: Great voice, new sound, upbeat and fun
Cons: A few songs could be a little "deeper"
Summary: I love this album. Nelly Furtado has a unique and amazing voice. She's no Britney Spears. Hopefully she won't get sucked into the pop machine and become another sell-out Christina Aguilera clone. I think her songs are great-- great beats for dancing ... read more

Pros: distinct style
Cons: bad timing
Summary: Nelly Furtado is the first Middle Eastern ethnic to make it in the pop industry. That takes hard work, and courage. She's got her own style in her voice that makes her distinguishable among other singers. What's bad is that she arrived in the era of the ... read more

Pros: Great music. Her vocals are very beautiful and rich.
Cons: Her voice sometimes is quite annoying, but it's no big deal.
Summary: It's easy to glance at the cover of this album and dismiss it as something unworthy. Indeed, I would've had I not heard snippets of it on the radio: winsomely pretty, overly young-looking girl lying in grass with this awful hippie font all over the ... read more

Pros: A new, unique-sounding voice - a breath of fresh air.
Cons: A tad bit over-produced.
Summary: My wife made me get it for her, but I found that I like just as much as she does (maybe more...)
I put it in, kind of skeptical because my wife and I simply do not share opinions when it comes to music. But I was really amazed at what I ... read more

Pros: a melting pot of influences, with a new, unique voice
Cons: it's quite obvious this is her first album
Summary: I first heard Nelly Furtado's first single, "I'm Like A Bird" on the radio, as most people have done, and forgot about it. I got a promotional CD from a website, and noticed that it had "I'm Like A Bird". I ended up playing the song over and over when I ... read more

Pros: Every song!
Cons: The last song is mainly in Portuguese if you call that a con.
Summary: If you like Nelly Furtado's single "I'm Like a Bird" you will like this CD. Even if you don't like "I'm Like a Bird" you will like this CD. I personally am not much of a fan of her first single. I got this CD for her second single "Turn Off The ... read more
