It's nice to hear the beginnings of Nelly. The plant already has many profound messages that "folklore" are superficial in their follow-up album. However, to "Whoa, Nelly!" few danceable and hypnotic earwigs represented that mainly their current success with "Loose" account. At the quietschfidilen, playful and crazy melodies ("Turn Off The Light") you have to sometimes get used. You might think you have a colorful pallet translated into music. "Whoa, Nelly!" simply preparing good mood - if you allow it. Difficult for me at first to get used to the higher cheerful "I'm Like a Bird", but now it is for me the feel-good song par excellence!
Furthermore Nelly already shows here its good songwriter qualities and -ambitionen. Unlike Britney Spears or Rihanna Nelly Furtado writes since the beginning of their tracks even. Notable example are the lyrics to ".... On The Radio (Remember the Days)". Here clarifies the interpreter that their music has not changed since its commercial breakthrough in comparison to her work as a freelance artist and that they do not have to trim to cool. Especially in view of critics about her album "Loose", who say they have driven there a wider audience and lost their own style, the song is remarkable and he therefore has a controversial value. Definitely is ".... On The Radio" trotzallem or perhaps because the best piece in the whole album!
Are there any bad tracks on the CD? I like the atmosphere poor "Party" less and "I Will Make U Cry" is me then too overexcited. Otherwise, there is nothing to complain about.
This version of the album includes as part of a new edition of 2002, the beautiful Portuguese ballad "Onde Estás". On the recently thrown on the market Special Edition of "Whoa, Nelly!" is the title inexplicably not found, but the songs on the bonus CD are all on all singles of "Whoa, Nelly!" versteut. If you should still consider which version of the album is worthwhile, I advise you to the present version without bonus disc but with "Onde Estás"!
Conclusion: "Whoa, Nelly!" Nelly Furtado is a nice to listening feel-good album and clearly demonstrates the musical potential and independence of the singer compared to the mainstream pop on. Of course, the album is not a masterpiece, but its lively way it affects sympathetic and sweet as sugar and is therefore a reason to extend his CD collection in order.
