Pop star Nelly Furtado was inspired to pursue a career in pop after falling for the music of OASIS - and wouldn't be in the charts if it wasn't for the lasting effect the British group had on her.

The MANEATER singer [ the band with giving her the determination to succeed in the industry, and believes she shares a lot in common with the Manchester rockers.

 

She says, "I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for Oasis. I bought my first acoustic guitar because of them and the first tracks I learnt to play were LIVE FOREVER and WONDERWALL.

"I was inspired by their working-class roots because that's the kind of background I come from."

Good to know she got, some inspiration from, a English Rock band :D

It always sounds fake when stars make out they love British music when they're over here -_- I mean, we only know so many American acts because they come over here and promote. I don't think Oasis are very big over there at all.

 

However, in this case she's obviously telling the truth, which is nice :D
