nelly furtado LOOSE poll

hahaha I figured you'd change your mind on this someday

i've only heard the singles from this but i'm sure i'd think "say it right" was top 2-3 anyway so thats what i'm going with

extraordinarily hard choice but my heart says SHOWTIME

promiscuous or no hay igual. say it right biggest grower.

this is on ile btw

Right now my answer is "everything except 'Glow' and 'In God's Hands'". I'll trim that down to something sensible later.

not counting the "Maneater" remix w/ Wayne I never really warmed up to the big pop hits. the Coldplay joint was by far my favorite, the one in Spanish was kinda catchy too.

"the Coldplay joint"...?

The song "All Good Things (Come to an End)" that was co-written by Coldplay frontman Chris Martin, and featured a vocal cameo by him in a leaked demo version.

Ah, I didn't know that! That's one of the best songs of his I've heard.

"Somebody To Love" is supposed to actually be "Wait For You", right? That might be the one I vote for.

"Say It Right" , but "Promiscuous" and "Maneater" right behind it.

say it right sounds like it was made by another human & is great & easily my favorite

leaning toward "say it right," but i need to weigh the options a little.

(to me "say it right" sounds like mid-80s madonna produced by phil collins. i.e. great.)

Maneater by light years.

"Say it Right" in the end, but I also love "Afraid" (which I think should have been a single, too. The chorus is great!)

I want to vote for the hi-hat on Maneater.

Say It Right is right.

Say it Right

"Say It Right" is a tremendous song

It is, but so are "Afraid", "Showtime", "No Hay Igual" and "Wait For You".

See "Say It Right" is the one where the appeal is totally lost on me. Maybe it's just that the Timbo vocal ad-libs really get on my nerves there, but nothing else about it seems really special either.

"Say It Right" is on the verge of turning into a Stacey Q song, but the percussion remains stubbornly in place. This makes it awesome.

"Say It Right" works because of the way the foreground and background call-and-response vocals build off of each other (I'm ignoring the male ad-libs here).

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

'say it right'

this was like my ex's fav album (she liked 'no hay igual') so ive heard it more than enough for now but lol @ ethan coming around on it anyway

Nothing as good as Timbo's remix of "Turn Out The Light" or "Hey, Man!".

"Promiscuous" and "Say It Right" are the best, but in the interest of avoiding the obvious, I'll go for "Showtime", which is totally the sleeper of the album.

also, the contrast between the terse verse lines, and the extended tones of the chorus gives the latter a very euphoric feel

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

Justice was served in this poll.

First single from Mi Plan forthcoming Spanish album, to apparently be followed by one in Portuguese in 2010. I dig it, but then again, it draws a lot musically on Nelly 2.0, circa Folklore which I thought was really underrated, esp. the first half, which really soared at times. Spanish-language tracks rarely do well on the main charts, so I'm not sure what she's going for, but it's been too long since we've had something from eclectic, musically schizoid Nelly. My one hope - that in addition to mid-tempo rock and hippie banjo jams, she keeps following the reggaeton bent she dipped her foot in by collaborating w/ Calle 13 on the No Hay Igual remix.

Sidenote: why is this thread on ILE? Confusing.

polls results an affront to music obv
