    Imagine being just 20 and having this much clarity on what you want to really do. It's nerve racking how someone so young and so talented had a vision and didn't allow anyone to take that control away. Just the woman all younger kids should look up to.

    She used to babysit for me, my daughters loved her to pieces. She's so humble and down to earth. She never accepted a pick up or ride home, until we got home so late the bus was not running. I was surprised to drop her off at a motel in the Gorge area of Victoria, BC. She seemed put off that I gave her a nice raise after that. She was just a regular teen but not so regular in personality...wise beyond her age. We had no idea she sang but we could tell she was a strong personality that would blaze her own trail. Always will be one to send her nothing but love and respect 💖

    The magical summer of 2007 where Nelly had a pop career that challenged the likes of Xtina, Britney and Madonna, and we were absolutely FERAL about her in Canada - I was an emo kid and even *I* wasn't immune to the perfection that is 'Loose'.
    It's nice that for once the reason a superstar 'vanished' is just that she didn't see herself doing this forever and bowed out just when her career started to slow down. No fuss, no drama, no secret battle with addiction, abuse, or anything. Just wanted to raise her kid in peace and chillax.

    It's unfortunate that her career didn't stabilize in the public eye after her huge success during the Loose era, but she's a very creative artist and able to do a variety of styles. I also have enjoyed her Folklore album and a few of her post-Loose releases.

Even got my cd jacket autographed after her Orlando show ( she is so generous she stayed for I don't know how long just signing things fans were throwing up on the stage for her ...someone threw a ' mini' Portuguese flag for her to sign and it actually nearly hit her in the head , instead of being annoyed she laughed.

    I remember when I'm Like a Bird came out and it was like a breath of fresh air after hearing a lot of over saturated pop, hip hop and rnb on the radio. And don't get me started on Loose. So many bangers on that album. I actually never really listened to the lyrics to the song Say it Right until very recently. I was just sitting in my room jamming out to it and then I heard her say "i can show you a place, only god knows. you should know, this space is holy. do you really want to go?" and I was kinda floored because that's some real deep songwriting for a pop song. Spirituality, sensuality and poetic double meanings? She definitely operates on a different frequency.

    I was at Nelly’s 2007 concert in Victoria BC. I never met her directly but growing up there I knew who she was because I was the same age. I took my daughter to that concert. It was an emotional concert for ALL of us. Not just Nelly. I get goosebumps even thinking about it. I cried with her! I cried for all of the little girls that were screaming at the top of their lungs for a woman I grew up hoping would make it big and she did! I stood there looking around in almost disbelief but yet not. It’s hard to explain.❤ What is easy to say though is… She was an absolute inspiration for all of us and to see my daughter screaming I love you Nelly!! at a packed wall to wall concert in our new Arena! It was more than us or Nelly I am sure could have ever dreamed. It was EMOTIONAL! Cheers Nelly!! To my home girl!!! We owe you the Sooke Pot holes and SOOOO much more. ALOT of us who knew or knew of Nelly cried when she came to perform in Victoria. It was all of our moments and we all missed her desperately though. 😢We missed ourselves and a time passed or almost passed. Not gone but that was passing quickly. I don’t blame her one bit for coming home. You don’t know unless you know that time and place. It was magical.

    I loved Nelly back in the day, still love her stuff. I never realized she fought to keep her style especially as that style was a style at all started to like back in those late 90s, the baggy pants, the kind of tomboyish with a girly touch. Look up any old Delia's catalogs and you'd see that style a lot. So it was refreshing to see someone looking amazing but dressing like us, compared to the Britneys, Christina's, and Jessica Simpson's famous at that time

      Everything about this comment is 🎯...i also loved Delia's catalogs lol. and yes Nelly was heavily influenced by 90s R&B and one of my favorite girl groups at the time TLC...she even did a mini '90s medley' in the middle of her concert with her backup dancers that included excerpts of songs from TLC salt-and-pepper and BBD!

    3: The Ride (a little strange in places, but really beautiful)
    4: Whoa, Nelly! (very unique and ahead of it's time)
    5: Mi Plan (I like most of the songs, even though I don't understand a word of Spanish)
    6: Loose (I like some songs but I never liked Timbaland's production, which there is a lot of)

    Nelly Furtado had a huge impact on me, as a teenage girl growing up in Vancouver, BC. Not only was she a local, she embraced and celebrated her ethnicity, which was incredibly powerful for me as the child of Greek immigrants. In that era, there was very little diversity in pop culture beyond blonde and hypersexual, and the world was always telling me I wasn't pretty. THANK YOU NELLY FOR SHOWING ME THE WAY!

    I'm not of Portuguese or Azorean ancestry, but I lived in the Azores as an American kid for two years in the 70s and that experience had a huge, life-changing impact on me -- in a positive way. I went on to study Portuguese (Brazilian), and even now after all of these years, the time I spent as a kid living on Terceira island is a special time for me. When I first saw Nellie's video for her song "I'm like a bird," with the Azorean flag in the background, I totally got the inside reference. The Azores islands are named after a falcon, the Azor (Acor). Nellie's best song references that, and she's telling the world that she's from the Azores. I get it. I love it. You rock.
    Nellie - you gave the Azores its own English language anthem. Not bad! Com muito amor e um grande abraco!

People have to protect themselves or they'll lose themselves in so many situations in life and some people die early because they're swept up in a whirlwind and pulled in every direction instead of making it all stop. Her kid saved her life. I am so glad I watched this and I have so much major respect for her. She's too real for Hollywood, and back then she was definitely too smart for their liking, and her morals and integrity probably got in the way. Love her!
