--In a new interview featured on MTV Overdrive, singer/songwriter Nelly Furtado mentions Mariah. Below is a transcription of her remarks.

 

"The first singer I really got into was Mariah Carey when I was about 12. She kind of taught me how to sing 'cause, you know, couldn't really afford singing lessons. So, I would just listen to Mariah Carey's CD over and over again, and learn all her lyrics."

 

 

I couldn't really afford singing lessons.

Nelly, it shows

:lol: Some of her songs are good though :o

I know. Most of her singles have been great. She's not a great vocalist though.

Glad that Mariah helped there. :cheer:

I think Nelly is fabulous if she's given the right song, I think Try was an amazing vocal performance. :wub:

I like that song Like A Bird or w/e and her new stuff is great

:o! Tim :cry:

 

Well she my fave, but i agree her voice isnt outstanding, and her new stuff isnt half as good as Folklore, shame people only know her for Loose :rolleyes:

Well I thought I would love Loose, as it was more of my kinda music, but I don't. :(

:o! Tim :cry:

I don't mind her. She's had some great tracks over all 3 albums.

 

I just think it's a shame she had to reinvent herself as a pussycat whore to sell records.

I lost alot of respect for her when Maneater arrived -_- , Folklore is amazing though :wub:

I haven't heard Folklore, but I love Loose, especially Maneater, Promiscious and Why Do All Good Things Come To An End

Someone explain - this song with Chris Martin. Was that made for 'Loose' or is it a new song?

It was made For Loose, Written By Chris Martin, At first his vocals appeared, but his record company wanted them taken away, because his voice sounded too rocky :kink:
