Album Description:
Japanese edition of the alterna-pop singer/songwriter's beguiling and charmingly eccentric 2000 album debut. Includes the infectious first single 'I'm Like a Bird' and two bonus tracks, 'Onde Estas' and 'Party' (Choroni Mix). Standard jewel case.
Amazon.com:
Blame it on the bossa nova, but this chick has got soul. By filtering her Portuguese roots through the trip-hop she was weaned on, Nelly Furtado creates a hypnotic form of R&B/alternapop that at times sounds like Fiona Apple, Macy Gray, and Gwen Stefani all rolled into a Portishead song. Cutting her teeth at four Lilith Fair dates before even having a record contract, Furtado seems accelerated far beyond her 21 years. Listen, and you can hear the Portuguese fado tradition, Brazilian beats, flashy urban rhymes--enough snap, crackle, and pop to fill your breakfast bowl. Put your ear closer to the speaker, though, and you can sense that this is the sound of a multicultural young woman finding her own identity through all the pop she's been fed. If you're someone who likes to sing along to soaring vocals or who likes to get hip to a new star before she goes supernova, this is an album to own. --Heidi Sherman

Whoa Nelly! was one of the very first CDs I bought when I got my first CD car stereo in my little blue Escort; I had loved the song "Turn Out The Lights" which I had heard on a magazine compilation. By the time I knew all the songs her real single hit the airwaves "I'm Like A Bird" and she was every where and the CD was put to rest.
Now that she's all promiscuous with Timbaland, I thought I'd revisit the CD that made me a fan and wonder what went wrong with the girl. From the debut ... Read More

I had no idea who the heck Nelly was, while at work on a long drive, the guy i was with had a choice of 3 CD's, this one, some Brazilian love CD and god knows what the other was, for some reason I chose this one.
Instantly from the moment it started, it gave me a headache, who is Nelly? How did she get a record deal? Her voice was irritating, her lyrics where trash, and what is with the side singer that sounds like he is talking through a paper mega phone?
I could not wait ... Read More

I love Nelly. Seriously. She's very truthful and I find her spirit to be not only touching but relate-able and real. I love most of her lyrics, and although for Loose she resorted to a more R&B/dance type of deal, I still respect her highly as an artist. I just hope that she will revert back to this style for her 4th outing because this music is almost as good as it gets.
There are a few tracks that skate on the filler side so I'll mention those first:

Every song is just fantastic! I'm playing the CD a LOT! My first real knowledge of Nelly Furtado. After buying this CD, I bought the other 2: Loose and Folklore; I hope I get to like them as much. But Whoa, Nelly! was NO struggle to get to love. A good workout CD as well. A lot of variety in the songs tempo and arrangement, but it all holds together

I definitely think we're lucky to have Nelly in the music industry, as this album clearly proves. There are really no bad songs on this album. Her voice is different and amazing, and there are moments on this CD that just take your breath away.
Standout tracks: Hey Man, On the Radio, Like a Bird, Turn Off the Light, Party
