【分享】与众不同的她---Nelly Furtado
Nelly Furtado的成名就像是一场美梦:祖籍葡萄牙,1978年12月2日出生并成长于加拿大,父母都来自勤奋的劳工阶级,母亲的工作是女佣。小时候,Nelly曾一连8个暑假到旅馆当女服务员。虽然在学校里她是个不安份的坏女孩,但其展露出的音乐才华的确令人不可小视,吉他、长号以及尤克里里(一种来自葡萄牙的小吉他)样样精通。中学毕业后,Nelly只身到多伦多闯世界,白天在一家警报系统公司工作,晚上则到歌厅去唱歌。凭着对乐符的敏锐性以及一把有特色的好嗓子,获得加拿大当地组合Philosopher Kings组员West和Eaton的赏识,带她走入音乐圈。99年秋天,Nelly与Dreamworks签下一纸合约,推出处女大碟《Whoa Nelly!》,不久后便有机会与Chrissie Hynde、Sarah Mclachlan和Beth Orton等巨星级同台演出。 在加拿大获得空前的成功后,Nelly的音乐脚步很快踏入美国乐界,由于她与众不同的背景以及歌曲品味,很快得到了当地乐迷地认同,专辑长时间停留在Billboard专辑榜前100位。在第44届格莱美上,Nelly再发神威,获得“最佳歌曲(I'm Like a Bird)”、“新进艺人”、“最佳流行女歌手”以及“最佳流行演唱专辑”四项重要奖项提名。并且最终获得“最佳流行女歌手”的大奖。专辑销量在加拿大、新西兰、美国、英国、葡萄牙等国都创下了白金唱片的销售佳绩。2004年欧锦赛在葡萄牙举办,nelly的新歌“forca”也被大赛选为主题曲,激情四溢的旋律带着热烈的拉丁节奏被广大球迷所推崇,在如火如荼的葡萄牙之夏广为流行. 2006年6月20日, Nelly Furtado发行了她的第三张个人专辑《Loose》。本周的美国唱片市场相当萧条,只有一张专辑在这周内的销量超过了10万张,而这张专辑就是Nelly Furtado的《Loose》, 较之Nelly Furtado以前的专辑,这张专辑中融合了更多Hip-Hop,R&B和舞曲等音乐元素. 在《Loose》正式发行之前,Nelly与说唱歌手Timbaland合唱的《Promiscuous》以及另一支单曲《Maneater》就已经分别在Billboard Hot 100单曲榜和英国单曲榜中名列前茅。Nelly Furtado与拉丁情歌王子Juanes合唱的《Te Busque》及本张专辑中不太多见的抒情佳作《In God's Hands》以及民族风味十足的《Wait For You》都是旋律不错的歌曲。 |

Say it Right
Say it Right 在YouTube的点击以达到惊人的 一千三百万次 A must play in dance club,anyway. By the way, Nely Furtado is also a Torontonian Say It Right lyrics In the day In the night Say it right Say it all You either got it Or you don't You either stand or you fall When your will is broken When it slips from your hand When there's no time for joking There's a hole in the plan Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me No you don't mean nothing at all to me But you got what it takes to set me free Oh you could mean everything to me I can't say that I'm not lost and at fault I can't say that I don't love the light and the dark I can't say that I don't know that I am alive And all of what I feel I could show You tonight you tonight Oh you don't mean nothing at all to me No you don't mean nothing at all to me But you got what it takes to set me free Oh you could mean everything to me From my hands I could give you Something that I made From my mouth I could sing you another brick that I laid From my body I could show you a place God knows You should know the space is holy Do you really want to go? |
