Disappointed
This is what happens when artists get too ambitious, ohh man i'm gonna miss the old Nelly.
Nelly or a desert island? I'll take the sand in my shoes
I gave this a chance and my only comment is, I wanted to be like a bird so I could fly away, I don't know where her talent is...
1 star is just not low enough.
Where did Nelly go?Come back to the fanbase that loves you! You're a folk artist; not a hip-hop/r&b; sellout.
Try Before You Buy
This Cd is not That good But She tried She should just stick to pop music.The only song that is good is Premiscous other than that. But the other songs have okay beats,She Should have done better but As long as she like it its cool.
This Is Weak
There are millions of pretty to average looking young girls out there who think they can sing, but in reality they can't. How did Nelly Furtado get so lucky? Even though "Loosed" was heavily produced by Timbaland, it's still lame. A weak, warbly voice being drowned by the heavy sounds of a beat machine. You can tell that Nelly is a Gwen Stefani fan because that's who she often attempts to copy when it comes to vocals and musical style. Nelly can't sing and she can't rap either. I saw her performing on the show "So You Think You Can Dance" last week and she, along with Timbaland, both looked like pieces of cardboard on stage. So add 'no stage presence' to the list. Supposedly Nelly can play a few instruments, but I heard very few instruments being played. Anyway, there's nothing special about this CD. This will be forgotten like a hot dog and macaroni & cheese dinner at the end of the month. Skip it!
Likable but not perfect
The reason to buy this is because of "Promiscuous," the song of summer. But Loose, the third album from eclectic singer-songwriter Nelly Furtado, doesn't center solely around that instant first single. "Wait For You" and "Maneater" are likable enough (though not nearly as listenable as the aforementioned "Promiscuous") and cover the same concept of being addictive club-ready Hip Hop pop. The most Whoa, Nelly!-sounding track here is "All Good Things" with its introspective lyrics, great performance by Nelly and use of multi-interesting instruments. It's not perfect, but it's definitely worth listening to. Casual listeners will eat this up, but dedicated fans of the "I'm Like a Bird" Furtado will call her a sell-out (which isn't true) and fly away themselves.
