Nelly Furtado, cant believe no one said it yet Options

[phoenixpyre]

How does someone who used to sing "im like a bird, I only fly away" go in the completely opposite direction and become promiscuous?

(for you out there who DONT know, promiscuous means:
pro·mis·cu·ous ( P ) Pronunciation Key (pr-msky-s)
adj.
Having casual sexual relations frequently with different partners; indiscriminate in the choice of sexual partners.
))

AKA A EFFING SLUTTTTT

Yes, so Nelly is now a slut thanks to none other than timberland AND rap music. Yes i blame both b/c rap has been degrading women for years and timberland was the one to pick nelly up and make her put out this disgraceful "LOOSE" album

Loose ALSO means SLUT


GOD I HATE THE WORLD NOWADAYS

damn that rap music


So. Anyone like Nelly's new album?

[*StanleyThePanda*]

I agree. I liked the old Nelly Furtado. Not the new Nelly Furtado.
"I'm like a bird" was a great song.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

You know, there are many songs from Rock, punk rock or whatever that degrades women. rap just makes it so darn obvious. And no I don't blame any genre of music for turning Nelly into anything. No one put a gun on her head and said, "turn into a slut NOW". It was her choice and I respect that. True she was better when sang down to earth songs or something but you can't hate on types of music for what happened to her.

And to be honest, nelly sang sexual songs back then too. Right after I'm like a bird came out, her other song, "Turn Off the lights" released.... you can GUESS what it means

[iDecay]

Matt, you're a slut!

Hmm, I've talked about this a few times. It's ehh.. I know a whole buncha girls that go aroung singing promiscuous, but they have no idea WTH it means. It's kinda funny, actually.


Youravatarissodisturbinglycute.

[*Funkadelic Kiss*]

No one put a gun on her head and said, "turn into a slut NOW". It was her choice and I respect that.

Word. No one made her into a slut. It was her choice.
Honestly. I actually like the "new" Nelly Furtado. Cmon 'Promiscuous Girl' is catchier then 'I'm Like A Bird'. I can't deny that .

[technicolour]

She made that choice because everyone else is making that choice. Sex is in. Anything that has something to do with sex, people worship these days.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

^x2 yeah and according to people who interviewed her back then back when she was earthy, she acted like a really cranky bitch. But now after promiscuous came out she's just.. mellowed out

But Kristina, it's not like she was FORCED to do it. Sure maybe it influenced her, but she still could've said no and stayed earthy like a lot of other artists.

[phoenixpyre]

So you think its ok that she deliberately calls herself a slut?

Well w/e then, thats your opinion

[*Freaky Krazer*]

Sure it's indecent of her, but man even back then she was a bit sexual. She's just a bit... more outward about it. But you know you shouldn't base judgments over a song.. I mean.. IT'S JUST A SONG. Not everyone has to be innocent, decent, etc That's how the world is and we can all deal with it. It's funny how we bitch at artists who changed instead of artists who started out as sluts.

[technicolour]

She probably was forced by her management to do this different angle. The world is changing. And if you want to get somewhere, you have to change with it. At least in the music industry.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

She could've said no and found a different management. Sure it's not as easy as it sounds but if she was true to her music then she wouldn't have changed.

And who knows? maybe she LIKES her new self.

[technicolour]

Contracts? Various other crappy loopholes?

I dont know. But her transformation was just whoa.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

okay I'm SURE she sang sex songs back then, guys. I'm sure she's as much of as slut as she was except now she practically brags it

But seriously guys loosen up on poor old nelly.

[technicolour]

Why? She's just turning into everyone else. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, uhm, who else..


Nothings original anymore.

[femmefatale4160]

And to be honest, nelly sang sexual songs back then too. Right after I'm like a bird came out, her other song, "Turn Off the lights" released.... you can GUESS what it means

I don't think that "Turn off the Lights" was intended to be about sex. It's about everyone being the same deep inside, and that we shouldn't judge based on apperances.

I don't like the new Nelly, but it was her choice. I don't blame Timbaland or rap music.

Word. No one made her into a slut. It was her choice.
Honestly. I actually like the "new" Nelly Furtado. Cmon 'Promiscuous Girl' is catchier then 'I'm Like A Bird'. I can't deny that .

She won a grammy for her first album. "Loose" won't win her a damn thing.

[moninja]

it's really her choice if she wants to be this type of person. you can't really do anything about it.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

^oh I thought it was... oh well but guys I'm suuure she sang some sex songs if not Turn off the lights

Why? She's just turning into everyone else. Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, uhm, who else..
Nothings original anymore.

well if you don't like unoriginality then just don't listen to her. Complaining about her is just like.. a waste of time.

What I don't get is Matt blaming Timberland and some other rap artists...

[femmefatale4160]

You know who's good, though? Regina Spektor. I'm starting a topic...

[technicolour]

Who the heck is Timberland? DO ya'll mean Justin Timberlake?!

Everyone has to reinvent their image to fit in with soceity's view of everything.

And why can't I complain? I have listened to her. She's sucks, IMO. I can say that. And its not a matter of me not liking unoriginality.


And I have nothing better to do with my time. =/

[*Freaky Krazer*]

^x2rofl so random... I remember getting introduced to Regina Spektor back then when I was in CB chat. And someone was talking about her (I forgot who). And then I listened to her song Somedays and got hooked. Now I just..got tired of her..

Kristina..cuz complaining is very unhealthy

[femmefatale4160]

No, Kristina. Timbaland is a ridiculously well-established music producer and rap artist. If we meant Justin, we would say so. Two completely different people.

[technicolour]

Well I didn't know who Timbaland was so. Whatever.

Well, I'm fairly healthy. Mentally.

[moninja]

^
Timbaland (born Timothy Z. Mosley in Norfolk, Virginia on March 10, 1971) is an American hip hop and R&B record producer and rapper whose style influenced both genres, even helping to blur the distinction between the two. With partner Magoo, he is a member of hip-hop group Timbaland & Magoo.

Timbaland is similar to producers such as Phil Spector, Brian Eno, or Norman Whitfield in that he helped to redefine the sound of an entire genre of music with an immediately recognizable production style. The songs he produces feature unusual arrangements, sounds, and instrumentation, tied together by a trademark sense of space and rhythm. Like Spector and Whitfield, Timbaland's production sometimes overshadows the credited performer and becomes the actual "star" of the song. With songwriters Steve "Static" Garrett and childhood friend Missy Elliott, Timbaland has helped to create some of the most successful songs in modern pop music and urban music, including singles for Aaliyah, Ginuwine, Jay-Z, Justin Timberlake, Ludacris, and Nelly Furtado, among others.

[phoenixpyre]

Lalalal Nelly was NOT a slut back in the day, she was a bird

an innocent bird

then she became a slut to fit in w/ the crowd

Thanks.



But whatever. Matt asked if we liked Nelly's new album and I was stating my reason(s) why I didn't. So. Whatever. Moving on with life.

[femmefatale4160]

Actually, ZapatoDelFuego, she always had issues. Hip Hop was always a part of her life. For Halloween as a kid, she and her friends would dress up as TLC, with the condoms and everything. In a recent interview, her excuse was, "I never knew I wasn't black."

[phoenixpyre]

If she could just be... a role model LIKE PINK WHO SPOKE OUT AGAINST STUPID GIRLS then we would have less sex in life

DID YOU ALL KNOW THAT LITTLE KIDS (as young as FIVE) are having SEX because its been reported they got the ideas FROM MUSIC VIDEOS THAT ARE "RATED" PG!!!!

and they arent

[femmefatale4160]

Yeah, the video for "Promiscuous" is rated a "PG" video.

[*I Shot JFK*]

I'm Like A Bird was a little slice of pop perfection...

Maneater is a MASSIVE slice of dance GENIUS.

Seriously. I admire her for producing two totally different sounds, and looks, and pulling them both off. plus, she is f**kin gorgeous. want her babies, please.

[femmefatale4160]

She already has a baby, James. And she's two. Her name is Nevis (NEE-vis).

[*Freaky Krazer*]

Yeah I thought she was married until my sister told me she just got knocked up with a bastard kid.

[phoenixpyre]

She looks like an alien now and her SINGING voice is sh1t

when she says: "PROMISCIOUS BOY AKDJKASJDSA" she sounds like a f**king 4 year old

[femmefatale4160]

roflmfao, Freaky Krazer.

[*I Shot JFK*]

Oh. well i want her NEXT baby, please.

and if she were singing a huge ballad, then i would see the argument about her singing voice... but as it is i dont really care, as it is perfectly suited for what she is actually doing,

[*Freaky Krazer*]

She looks like an alien now and her SINGING voice is sh1t

No, she looks more beautiful in my opinion. Maybe more of .. a "slut" -_- but I like how she looks now. But when it comes to sound I guess she was better back then, but jesus she does NOT sound like a 4-year old.

femme_fatale4160 I'm serious! I was like.. WOAH nelly cleaned up her act! >.<

[femmefatale4160]

Oh. well i want her NEXT baby, please.

and if she were singing a huge ballad, then i would see the argument about her singing voice... but as it is i dont really care, as it is perfectly suited for what she is actually doing,

I still like her old music. She doesn't even sound like she's singing on her new album. It'a all done with a synthesizer.

[*I Shot JFK*]

I love her old songs too. Powerless, iI'm like a bird... classic stuff.

But maneater and promiscuous make me f**kin dance, man! GOOD tuneage!

and she isnt a 'slut'.

she has a great look and she knows it... problem? nuh-uh

[technicolour]

And how is she not a slut?

[femmefatale4160]

^I second this question. How?

[*Freaky Krazer*]

Well I'm thinking how she acts in music videos is ...a wee bit different from real life? kinda like how we are online and irl

[*I Shot JFK*]

a slut to me implies more than just a style of dress.

a woman who uses her sexuality to get ahead isnt 'slutty'. she's smart to use what she's got. and hell, i am NOT complaining. just because she can dance and flirt in a tree minute video says nothing about who she actually is.

oh. and im the same offline. just noisier. and possibly more argumentative.

[*Funkadelic Kiss*]

She won a grammy for her first album. "Loose" won't win her a damn thing.

She probably won't win a award from the Grammys. But she probably will win something from the MTV's awards.

she became a slut to fit in w/ the crowd

Maybe she did it to sell more albums, who knows. Madonna reinvented herself millions of times, give Nelly a damn break people. Let her be whatever the hell she wants to be.

[technicolour]

^2x Of course you're not complaining.

OH OH MTV. Those people are communists.

and no, of course i'm not complaining

and while she is still making music that can make people dance like hell and turn up the radio in the car, as well as making a nice little success story for herself and her daughter, im not really sure why other people are, either.

and GAH this moves fast. much editting

[*Freaky Krazer*]

Matt, writing a song about it doesn't mean it represents her entirely. Who knows maybe she wrote it for fun or to.. attract the crowd like you guys were saying.

She probably won't win a award from the Grammys. But she probably will win something from the MTV's awards.Maybe she did it to sell more albums, who knows. Madonna reinvented herself millions of times, give Nelly a damn break people. Let her be whatever the hell she wants to be.

WERD seriously guys. She is what she chooses to be. No matter how unreal it looks.

[technicolour]

But we're not discussing Madonna. That was a completely different time.

We're discussing Nelly F.

[phoenixpyre]

lalalalalalallaallshesaslutlalalalalalal




I hate her so you can drop this.. i was just statin my opinion yo

[*I Shot JFK*]

oh, i meant to quote and agree with liz as well.

so... because madonna isnt the primary topic of a thread, no one can draw comparisons? dont be so silly. and what do you mean, 'it was a different time'? madonna is STILL reinventing herself time and again...

and believe it or not, zapato, we dont actually NEED your particiaption to continue the discussion... funny that

[*Freaky Krazer*]

Lol this is soo funny. We're all taking it to a whole new level...

I would like to see a Celebrity Deathmatch episode between Nelly F. and Madonna though.. boy that would be fun.

[phoenixpyre]

Lol this is soo funny. We're all taking it to a whole new level...

I would like to see a Celebrity Deathmatch episode between Nelly F. and Madonna though.. boy that would be fun.

LETS CALL MTV AND TELL THEM THAT!!!

[*I Shot JFK*]

for the record, i would be supporting nelly.

[femmefatale4160]

Nelly wrote Promiscuous because when she was collaborating w/ another artist on her album, they started flirting, and she said "I've never done anything like this before, but lets do it."

That's a quote from an interview with her.

She also says that she's musically promiscuous. And yes, she probably will win something from that damn MTV.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

^thank you for explaining!

Yeah. madonna's a little out of it with her new kabalah(sp) phase... and idk.. she's old.. and ugly

[femmefatale4160]

^thank you for explaining!

Yeah. madonna's a little out of it with her new kabalah(sp) phase... and idk.. she's old.. and ugly

No problem and ditto the Madonna thing.

[technicolour]

Wow.








Anyways. I'm just going to quit.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

lol Kristina. I'm sorry

[technicolour]

For what? Don't be sorry.

Matts stupid sig gave me a headache and now I can'tthink. Bah.

This was almost...fun.

[*I Shot JFK*]

if she quits, does that mean i win?

i love when i win!



oh, and yes, that weird flashy mouse sig. its like a rodent-disco nightmare. vile.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

^raichu from Pokemon

For what? Don't be sorry.

Matts stupid sig gave me a headache and now I can'tthink. Bah.

This was almost...fun.

yeah we got all defensive and serious about it. I don't know I feel bad because you quit. I always do.

[*I Shot JFK*]

lol. yen feels bad, i feel victorious... people are different...

[technicolour]

if she quits, does that mean i win?

i love when i win!



oh, and yes, that weird flashy mouse sig. its like a rodent-disco nightmare. vile.

No you dont win.




Yes. People are most definately different. Especially when compared to James.



It was fun getting to actually argue about something non political though.

[femmefatale4160]

This is quite entertaining. lol James and Kristina.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

Yeah according to him I sound asian <_<

ANYWAYS is all good with Nelly F now? lol. Kristina, it's funny though. Everyone was all trying to ruin her reputation rofl

[*I Shot JFK*]

but... but... i WANT to win.

my ego doesnt like the lack of winning.

sigh... im glad people are different from me... anyone else like me would give me SUCH a headache.

[technicolour]

^ You give me headaches. =/


*sigh*

I wasn't trying to ruin her rep. I was just saying..nevermind.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

^an argument almost started no really say it

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

-cough- Spam? -cough-

hahaha Um..

I loved her old songs better then her new songs.

[*I Shot JFK*]

take some asprin.

i dont think her reputation as a hit-maker is at any serious risk whatever Kristina's intentions, to be honest... i wouldn't worry

[*Freaky Krazer*]

-cough- Spam? -cough-

hahaha Um..

I loved her old songs better then her new songs.

eh Shelby, you DID read what we said earlier right? I mean.. that's only been brought up a thousand times.

[technicolour]

^ LOL here we go again

Nu huh. I leave. In peace.

[*I Shot JFK*]

*victory dance*

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

eh Shelby, you DID read what we said earlier right? I mean.. that's only been brought up a thousand times.

I'm sorry I came in late. I will be sure to read the hole fourm before I open my big mouth.

[technicolour]

Dammit James you dont win. Oh my freaking gosh.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

I'm sorry I came in late. I will be sure to read the hole fourm before I open my big mouth.

naw man it's fine it's fine

[*I Shot JFK*]

Really? then why do i feel so victorious?

now leave in peace before i employ sharp weapons!

just a sore loser...

this IS fun. I love when i'm obnoxious.

[technicolour]

I didn't loose anything. I got tired of having to constantly explain myself when it seemed like no one actually grasped it. And I mean that nicely.


And I have weapons of my own. So there.

[*Freaky Krazer*]

James, you didn't really win since matt didn't give up. :D



D:

[*I Shot JFK*]

matt is redundant anyway. and he told people to drop it. that was the resignation...

we grasped, but disagreed... and QUITTERS NEVER WIN. ergo, JAMES WINS.

ooh. bring on the weapons. i have grenades.

[technicolour]

Oh my god.

You need a girlfriend.

[*I Shot JFK*]

How helpful would a girlfriend be at ten thirty on a wednesday?

but anyway, i had one. she dumped me because i never let things go. pity me?

[technicolour]

Now that is ironic.


Not.

[oXMuhNirvanaXo]

Make a f**king pole.. to see what song cb likes better?

[*I Shot JFK*]

Hmm... maybe there was a lesson there?

sigh.. and see now you've put me in the mood to reminisce about the trainwreck that was life with sarah.

ah well. at least i have my victory to cheer me up.

[technicolour]

Make a f**king pole.. to see what song cb likes better?

That wasn't even what the thread was about though..

[*I Shot JFK*]

it was more interesting this way, anyway.

There there.

I definitely don't like the direction she is heading. It's just not my style. It's a shame individuality wanes when the fruits of capitalism are compromised.

major sell out. i used to love her, but now she is just like every hip hop diva out there. and loose...wtf? really.

[cassjamminx]

i don't really like how you called her a slut *first post* kinda.. mean. uhh, most songs today talk about sexual things anyways. but i used to be a nelly fan (i remember mentioning this in another nelly thread.....) i went to many concerts, and i met and she was really nice. i dont judge her by her music because everyone sings about sexual things so to me it's just for the music and to sell. "sex sells."

though ive been big fan for a while, i didnt buy her cd. im a fan of the song, but im not digging the cd.
