Songs Featuring Nelly Furtado: “Like a Bird”

The Canadian born beauty of Portuguese descent started her musical career at age four, performing alongside her Roman-Catholic mother (gasp!) at their local church (double gasp!). Nelly soon dropped the mother-daughter act and set out on a solo career, getting her big break in 2000 with the hit single “I’m Like a Bird”. Nelly describes the Grammy winning tune as “my freedom song”, to which I thankfully say: fly Nelly, fly away…
And to think that if she hadn’t signed with Dream Works Records, moved to LA and abandoned that stint with her maw, the Nelly Furtado biography would be nothin’ but Christian anthems in Freakin’ Portuguese!
Songs Featuring Nelly Furtado: “Childhood Dreams”
Nelly and boyfriend DJ Lil Jaz had a baby girl, Nevis, in 2003, to whom the new mommy dedicated the song “Childhood Dreams” on her 2003 sophomore album Folklore.
The couple then called it quits in 2005. The breakup lacked the Brit-KFed drama factor and the tabloids where barely able to scrape together enough dirt on the couple to guarantee Nelly a spot on their back cover.
In 2007 Nelly reportedly got engaged to Demo Castellon, a sound engineer, who she met when working on her third album.

Songs featuring Nelly Furtado: “Get Loose”
Furtado finally let out all that hip-hop-rock-funk-and-R&B she’d been soaking up all those years when collaborating with legendary producer Timbaland in Loose, which debuted in 2006.
“Women are Beautiful and Sexy”
One of the most surprising aspects of the Nelly Furtado Biography is that that the Portuguese beauty isn’t necessarily just bilingual. When asked by a reporter in 2006 if she had ever found women attractive, Nelly answered: “absolutely. Women are beautiful and sexy”. To be fly on that wall…
“Giving It To Him”
In 2007 Nelly “got loose” with Mr. Sexy Back himself, when the two were featured in Timbaland’s single “Give It To Me”. It wasn’t long before rumors started flying about a possible love connection. However any alleged tie between JT and Furtado remains a speculation. Since JT has been paired up with everyone from Brit to Janet, Cameron to Jessica, we really couldn’t rule out the possibility of a relationship between the two based on any one “type” the brother goes for.
So what’s the next chapter in the Nelly Furtado Biography? Don’t know yet but you can be sure Celeb Slap! will be “Saying it Right” when we do.
