I just recently found out about ' Keep Goin Up ' .... Nelly and Timb are two of the most iconic musical duos of all time....our girls back...yassss queen, yasssss 👑
She used to babysit for me, my daughters loved her to pieces. She's so humble and down to earth. She never accepted a pick up or ride home, until we got home so late the bus was not running. I was surprised to drop her off at a motel in the Gorge area of Victoria, BC. She seemed put off that I gave her a nice raise after that. She was just a regular teen but not so regular in personality...wise beyond her age. We had no idea she sang but we could tell she was a strong personality that would blaze her own trail. Always will be one to send her nothing but love and respect 💖
@@savannahsaenz3773 Awee💖 We would love to meet her again as well. Memorable teenager ♥️ one of very few sitters who cleaned, not just tidy toys...she did dishes, floors, laundry, etc‼) while the kids napped or were in bed AND stayed awake until an adult got home. I bet she's a super mom💖
She "vanished" on her own terms and not because of musical failure, drug or substance abuse, depression et al.....she was in control of her own destiny and that was the road she chose....good on her.
I know right?if anything she's a story of sucess, kinda hate how even here the narrative is that she vanished but the true is that nelly doest Owe anybody.
I have so much respect for Nelly, she kept true to herself and refused to let them have control of her and her image. It's no wonder she isn't one of the artists we hear about that is struggling with trauma and drug abuse.
Wow SO much respect!! I had no idea about any of this. She's definitely one of the good ones which seems to be so rare these days...a true artist, intelligent, talented, integral and gorgeous 🤯😍 Not to mention her style was so on point and ahead of her time!! I'm about to go listen to my old Nelly CDs 😆
@@thdoggo1 Out of curiosity, I looked her up and I didn't realize she released her fourth album in 2019. I think she was bigger in the UK with her later stuff cuz I didn't hear much from her after unwritten in America.
My brother who passed away in 2010 used to love the song why do all good things come to an end. Only when he passed I understood exactly what he was singing about. Love you Nelly, the world needs more people like you. ❤❤❤
I remember when I'm Like a Bird came out and it was like a breath of fresh air after hearing a lot of over saturated pop, hip hop and rnb on the radio. And don't get me started on Loose. So many bangers on that album. I actually never really listened to the lyrics to the song Say it Right until very recently. I was just sitting in my room jamming out to it and then I heard her say "i can show you a place, only god knows. you should know, this space is holy. do you really want to go?" and I was kinda floored because that's some real deep songwriting for a pop song. Spirituality, sensuality and poetic double meanings? She definitely operates on a different frequency.
Nelly didn't "vanish", she respectfully left the industry completely on her own terms, and I use the word 'left' very loosely here as she's still performing here & there once in a while, clearly having her priorities sorted out. I hope her own record label does well, and Nelly could help more talented artists shine in the future. She's a breath of fresh air, always has & always will be.
Really what an unique story. Kinda refreshing that there wasnt some insane crash and burn or public shaming. Thank you for sharing because i did wonder where she went.
She was popular in the early 2000s. With "Like a Bird", but became bigger after Timbaland produced her album in the mid aughts. She had hits around the same time as 'N SYNC, and BSB. I remember watching her on TRL around the age of 12.
Ive been called a bigot for speaking out against boys/men in girls/womens sports & speaking out against gender mutilation surgerys for kids & puberty blockers aka chemical castration (yes the same drugs are given to pedos in prison) I was a tomboy as a kid & in some ways, still am. I enjoyed playing sports, doing yard work, spending weekends at the horse stable, & climbing trees. I also enjoyed cooking & took ballet lessons as well as taught them. Praise God that this crap wasnt going on plus that my parents were the kind of Christians that took me to church but also lived those valuesthe rest of the week or I mightve been called lesbian or trans candidate. I was even asked on Twitter, after telling the aforementioned story, if I grew up to be a lesbian!! 🤯 I replied, "I was married to my late husband for 35 years" & had he not died, it wouldve been 43 years this April 19th!
Imagine being just 20 and having this much clarity on what you want to really do. It's nerve racking how someone so young and so talented had a vision and didn't allow anyone to take that control away. Just the woman all younger kids should look up to.
Most of us 20's had that up to the 2000. The problem is that kids have been dumbed down in the last 20 years. Brainwashing at school, no parenting, no limits, etc. They desire to be little children forever.
Yeah promiscuous was such a bop! I didn't even know what that word meant when the song came out 😂 but I would sing it alllll the time! The harmonies in that song are still 🔥🔥
Im an elder millennial and was introduced to Nelly by her debut album, Whoa, Nelly! I still listen to the album regularly - it was SO ahead of it’s time, so experimental and unique.
I liked some of her songs, will go and check out some more. But honestly, she deserves so much respect: the girl showed up, made some history and then got out to live her life in peace. Iconic.
Her album Mi Plan is sublime! I used to play a lot while driving. You dont have to speak spanish to love it. Has a beautifully haunting duet with Josh Grobin, Silencio I adore , and some real bangers as well. She is a true versatile artist
I still remember her first hit “I’m like a bird” SO clearly…..I remember watching the video on MTV and feeling so intrigued with her natural beauty and vibe ❤ I could always tell she was gonna go far, but I could also tell she was UNIQUE.
I'm surprised that "Turn off the lights" and "Say it Right" weren't mentioned during the video. Those two, to this day, are some of her most iconic songs. I actually knew about her because of TOTL and for me, it was a rollercoaster from there. Say it right it's so iconic that it was even trending on tiktok not too long ago. I listen to her songs to this day and I'm so glad that she is doing what she loves the way she loves it.
She was a huge success here in Brazil, her songs play daily on the radio she’s even done a version of All good things (come to an end) with a Brazilian pop-rock singer. Hopefully she’s coming back soon.
Love her so much, I remember growing up in Ecuador and the song "Fotografia" with Juanes being a huge collab she did in Latin America. She really is loved all over the world.
omg i cried watching this and im not even her biggest fan or anything, im just so happy that shes able to do whatever she wants beyond fame and commercial success
She’s my 7th grade teachers cousin and he brought her to our class. It was awesome. She’s a really sweet person and my view of her as a celebrity changed after that
The magical summer of 2007 where Nelly had a pop career that challenged the likes of Xtina, Britney and Madonna, and we were absolutely FERAL about her in Canada - I was an emo kid and even *I* wasn't immune to the perfection that is 'Loose'. It's nice that for once the reason a superstar 'vanished' is just that she didn't see herself doing this forever and bowed out just when her career started to slow down. No fuss, no drama, no secret battle with addiction, abuse, or anything. Just wanted to raise her kid in peace and chillax.
Her album "whoa nelly" will forever be the soundtrack of some of my happiest childhood memories ❤️my mum was in her 20s in the 90s singing loudly to her songs while doing chores with us kids❤️
Nelly was my fave growing up..saw her in concert 3 x, first at the Area One Festival with Moby in 2001 ( with Outkast, Incubus and The Roots...to this day one of the best experiences of my entire life ) then in Orlando 2 years later....and Mayfair in PA a few years after that. Even got my cd jacket autographed after her Orlando show ( she is so generous she stayed for I don't know how long just signing things fans were throwing up on the stage for her ...someone threw a ' mini' Portuguese flag for her to sign and it actually nearly hit her in the head , instead of being annoyed she laughed. I loved how she wanted to mix being grounded with her fame and success. In The Superficial entertainment industry she is a rare gem.💎( by the way I love your new Channel with ' That Surprise Witness'! )
She was my best friends cousin growing up, she also went to the same high school I did. Her family was not the type to be consumed by fame and that's awesome to me
As a millennial, I've spent my teens/early twenties listening to her iconic songs, and still am to this day. She will always be one of my favourite artists, all the love and respect to her
You have no idea how much I adore her. The “Folklore” album helped me get me through college. Thank you for making this introspective video on her career thus far.
Amen to this episode. As a tween (twelve years old) at the time, I became a Nelly fan as I was introduced to her through Loose and it's still one of my favorite pop albums. It's unfortunate that her career didn't stabilize in the public eye after her huge success during the Loose era, but she's a very creative artist and able to do a variety of styles. I also have enjoyed her Folklore album and a few of her post-Loose releases.
She’s better off not being apart of this crazy media world. I know that she got married and they divorced amicably. If I’m not mistaken she ended up having two more kids. I ain’t worried about Nelly and she’ll always be my girl 💜💐✨
I loved Nelly back in the day, still love her stuff. I never realized she fought to keep her style especially as that style was a style at all started to like back in those late 90s, the baggy pants, the kind of tomboyish with a girly touch. Look up any old Delia's catalogs and you'd see that style a lot. So it was refreshing to see someone looking amazing but dressing like us, compared to the Britneys, Christina's, and Jessica Simpson's famous at that time
Everything about this comment is 🎯...i also loved Delia's catalogs lol. and yes Nelly was heavily influenced by 90s R&B and one of my favorite girl groups at the time TLC...she even did a mini '90s medley' in the middle of her concert with her backup dancers that included excerpts of songs from TLC salt-and-pepper and BBD!
As a Canadian I really loved the coverage of Nelly, she was such a hit here and I can see her coming back if Shania did too! If she does I can't wait to hear what she brings
@@montanarose2148 yes I know how the CRTC works and how we are required to have Canadian artists playing. It’s the reason we know so many Canadian bands that the states have no idea about.
I’m like a bird has a bitter sweet spot in my heart. I remember sitting on the school bus with my friend Natasha, listening to my discman with Nelly’s CD in it, Natasha with one ear bud and me with the other annoying everyone else around us as we sang along. … 11 years later that same friend was taken from the world in a horrible and graphic murder. … when I hear it, it makes me think of her… and I smile, and I cry.
I was cutting my cd collection in half and listened to Whoah Nelly in its entirety and was still blown away by her voice and songwriting. Deef a keeper😘
My favourite Nelly Furtado albums: 1: Folklore (a masterpiece) 2: The Spirit Indestructible (a second-best masterpiece) 3: The Ride (a little strange in places, but really beautiful) 4: Whoa, Nelly! (very unique and ahead of it's time) 5: Mi Plan (I like most of the songs, even though I don't understand a word of Spanish) 6: Loose (I like some songs but I never liked Timbaland's production, which there is a lot of)
In the other hand I mean I'm glad she's isn't super famous she's so classy I can't imaging the paparazzi stalking the hell out of her and all the media trashing her as they did with other singers, I remember her very well like when Motorola back in days was so popular
Amazing! I always learn so much from your deep dives! I had no idea she had children! 😅 She has such a unique voice. I hope she releases something again in the future ❤
I was at Nelly’s 2007 concert in Victoria BC. I never met her directly but growing up there I knew who she was because I was the same age. I took my daughter to that concert. It was an emotional concert for ALL of us. Not just Nelly. I get goosebumps even thinking about it. I cried with her! I cried for all of the little girls that were screaming at the top of their lungs for a woman I grew up hoping would make it big and she did! I stood there looking around in almost disbelief but yet not. It’s hard to explain.❤ What is easy to say though is… She was an absolute inspiration for all of us and to see my daughter screaming I love you Nelly!! at a packed wall to wall concert in our new Arena! It was more than us or Nelly I am sure could have ever dreamed. It was EMOTIONAL! Cheers Nelly!! To my home girl!!! We owe you the Sooke Pot holes and SOOOO much more. ALOT of us who knew or knew of Nelly cried when she came to perform in Victoria. It was all of our moments and we all missed her desperately though. 😢We missed ourselves and a time passed or almost passed. Not gone but that was passing quickly. I don’t blame her one bit for coming home. You don’t know unless you know that time and place. It was magical.
PLEASE PLEASE tell me that the clip of Gaga's G.U.Y. ARTPOP video when you said "No good album comes without controversy" is foreshadowing bc I need to prepare for the Deep Dive of ARTPOP 😭
One of my favorite memories of my now 27yr old son... Who would have been about 4 at the time... He would sit it the backseat of our car as I drove him to school... He would sing at the top of his voice "I'M LIKE A BIRD... I'LL ONLY FLY AWAY!" I didn't really love the song but my sweet little boy did. I'll always have a special place in my heart for that song and knowing the backstory is cool.
I'm really glad that she was able to just rude off into the sunset. There are so many tragic stories in the industry, especially with female artists, so it's nice that she was able to do everything on her terms
Nelly Furtado had a huge impact on me, as a teenage girl growing up in Vancouver, BC. Not only was she a local, she embraced and celebrated her ethnicity, which was incredibly powerful for me as the child of Greek immigrants. In that era, there was very little diversity in pop culture beyond blonde and hypersexual, and the world was always telling me I wasn't pretty. THANK YOU NELLY FOR SHOWING ME THE WAY!
I was listening to Joey Diaz talk about touring and getting to the point of having to just say no because he was so fried. People have to protect themselves or they'll lose themselves in so many situations in life and some people die early because they're swept up in a whirlwind and pulled in every direction instead of making it all stop. Her kid saved her life. I am so glad I watched this and I have so much major respect for her. She's too real for Hollywood, and back then she was definitely too smart for their liking, and her morals and integrity probably got in the way. Love her!
Last time I saw her was on Lido Pimienta's show on CBS, and it brought joy to see her being supportive of underground Latin musicians, and a fun kid's show at that

She "vanished" on her own terms and not because of musical failure, drug or substance abuse, depression et al.....she was in control of her own destiny and that was the road she chose....good on her.
She did have some lyrics that hinted at depression. Or anxiety or disillusionment or something. But she also seems super normal.

No they parted on not so friendly terms

The timing of this is IMPECCABLE
Awesome video as always guys ♥️
I've loved Nelly forever and so always hopeful for a comeback ✨
I miss the 90s and 2000s 😢
TH-cam is ridiculous. She can say “shit”, but not “sexualize”. Really TH-cam? (Not blaming the poster, it’s got nothing to do with her.)
I found her instagram and followed, she’s back. ❤❤❤❤
Really what an unique story. Kinda refreshing that there wasnt some insane crash and burn or public shaming. Thank you for sharing because i did wonder where she went.
It’s crazy I was think what happened to Nelly furtado …and boom you dropped a video about her
She stayed true to herself thats why i love Nelly
Literally in tears I love Nelly Furtado 😭😍
Thats crazy I never even heard of folklore and I loved Nelly back in the day
Powerless and Explode are amazing songs. Please listen to them.

Nelly has always been one of my favorites! Her, Ashanti, and Ms Keys ❤❤❤
I loved her first album, a little poppy and folky number. She did have some bops, but I'll always remember that album

Excellent video. I learned a lot and you made me want to give her back catalogue a go
She could release a rap/hip hop album!! She's very good, didn't know this side of her!!!
What happened to Shawn desmon will you make a video of him?
Imagine being just 20 and having this much clarity on what you want to really do. It's nerve racking how someone so young and so talented had a vision and didn't allow anyone to take that control away. Just the woman all younger kids should look up to.
Most of us 20's had that up to the 2000. The problem is that kids have been dumbed down in the last 20 years. Brainwashing at school, no parenting, no limits, etc. They desire to be little children forever.
Amen! Precisely such a Woman young kids should look up to, and not the trash that's being currently glorified.

it wasn't the first time she did the same thing after her first hit with I'm like a bird
Noooooo, she was iconic far before that! But most younger people wouldn't know about her earlier stuff like Turn Off The Light (absolute bop)
Yep. Twas giving very Lauryn Hill iconic energy.
Her first was a hit, second was a flop and her 3rd album was a hit. And then done
“All Good Things Come To An End” and “Say It Right” were absolute pop masterpieces. 2007 was a good year.
Im like a bird!! Dont forget that piece!
i still occasionally listen to say it right. it was an integral piece of my growing up
Don't forget Promiscuous, Maneater and Give It To Me with Timbaland and JT
Always turned off the album before All Good Things...discovered it like seven years after Loose was released. Now it's my favorite of hers.
That album had BOPS
Im an elder millennial and was introduced to Nelly by her debut album, Whoa, Nelly! I still listen to the album regularly - it was SO ahead of it’s time, so experimental and unique.

Even got my cd jacket autographed after her Orlando show ( she is so generous she stayed for I don't know how long just signing things fans were throwing up on the stage for her ...someone threw a ' mini' Portuguese flag for her to sign and it actually nearly hit her in the head , instead of being annoyed she laughed. I loved how she wanted to mix being grounded with her fame and success. In The Superficial entertainment industry she is a rare gem.💎( by the way I love your new Channel with ' That Surprise Witness'! )
Thank you so much for watching the new channel. Ahhhh I’m so jealous that must have been an incredible experience. She is truly a gem in this world 🥰
I went to that same festival but different location 😂
@@Living42 it was at the Tweeter center in Phily/ Camden
Damn, Nelly, Incubus, OutKast and The Roots?? I'm sure that was one hell of a show!
@@dani.fleur9186 yes, it was epic !
She was my best friends cousin growing up, she also went to the same high school I did. Her family was not the type to be consumed by fame and that's awesome to me
As a millennial, I've spent my teens/early twenties listening to her iconic songs, and still am to this day. She will always be one of my favourite artists, all the love and respect to her
You have no idea how much I adore her. The “Folklore” album helped me get me through college. Thank you for making this introspective video on her career thus far.
Try is such a great song!
Try still is one of my favorite pop songs of all time
Amen to this episode. As a tween (twelve years old) at the time, I became a Nelly fan as I was introduced to her through Loose and it's still one of my favorite pop albums.
It's unfortunate that her career didn't stabilize in the public eye after her huge success during the Loose era, but she's a very creative artist and able to do a variety of styles. I also have enjoyed her Folklore album and a few of her post-Loose releases.
Manos al aire was a HIT in Latin America
Explode from Folklore is still one of my favourite songs.
She’s better off not being apart of this crazy media world.
I know that she got married and they divorced amicably. If I’m not mistaken she ended up having two more kids.
I ain’t worried about Nelly and she’ll always be my girl 💜💐✨
LOVED FOLKLORE
"Showtime" is still one of my favourite songs of hers. She's very talented
I loved Nelly back in the day, still love her stuff. I never realized she fought to keep her style especially as that style was a style at all started to like back in those late 90s, the baggy pants, the kind of tomboyish with a girly touch. Look up any old Delia's catalogs and you'd see that style a lot. So it was refreshing to see someone looking amazing but dressing like us, compared to the Britneys, Christina's, and Jessica Simpson's famous at that time
Everything about this comment is 🎯...i also loved Delia's catalogs lol. and yes Nelly was heavily influenced by 90s R&B and one of my favorite girl groups at the time TLC...she even did a mini '90s medley' in the middle of her concert with her backup dancers that included excerpts of songs from TLC salt-and-pepper and BBD!
I loved that a lot as a tween and then got a bit bummed with her image during the Timbaland era...
@@gpgp1841 There was nothing wrong with her Timbaland era look. She was sexy in a good way.
Tyra Banks is so annoying lol
That album is so freaking important to this day. Gives me goosebumps each time I listen to it to this day!! Loose was absolutely perfectly crafted!!
As a Canadian, I super appreciate this deep dive! I was just wondering about her the other day.
As a Canadian I really loved the coverage of Nelly, she was such a hit here and I can see her coming back if Shania did too! If she does I can't wait to hear what she brings
Nelly is Canadian so that's why she was super popular here.
@@montanarose2148 yes I know how the CRTC works and how we are required to have Canadian artists playing. It’s the reason we know so many Canadian bands that the states have no idea about.
Huh? They're two entirely diff ppl!!
In the meantime you can enjoy listening to Justin Bieber and Justin Trudeau instead.
@kel8026 or Ryan Reynolds and Ryan Gosling 😂
Always obsessed with these Deep Dives! I so appreciate this content ❤
Same. Always coming with a story I didn't know I wanted to hear about😹💟
This is what britney wanted to do, and her family refused to let her.
So much respect for her as an artist and as a mother ❤ She stayed true to herself and is a total success in life.
Ya know who looks a little like her Paris Jackson
Yes! I've been saying Paris Jackson resembles Nelly Furtado for the longest. I would love for them to meet and take a photo together 😅
I’m like a bird has a bitter sweet spot in my heart. I remember sitting on the school bus with my friend Natasha, listening to my discman with Nelly’s CD in it, Natasha with one ear bud and me with the other annoying everyone else around us as we sang along. … 11 years later that same friend was taken from the world in a horrible and graphic murder. … when I hear it, it makes me think of her… and I smile, and I cry.
So sorry for your loss
I was cutting my cd collection in half and listened to Whoah Nelly in its entirety and was still blown away by her voice and songwriting. Deef a keeper😘
Give them to charity! ❤
She didn't vanish and she has done several interviews telling us what happened
My favourite Nelly Furtado albums:
1: Folklore (a masterpiece)
2: The Spirit Indestructible (a second-best masterpiece)
3: The Ride (a little strange in places, but really beautiful)
4: Whoa, Nelly! (very unique and ahead of it's time)
5: Mi Plan (I like most of the songs, even though I don't understand a word of Spanish)
6: Loose (I like some songs but I never liked Timbaland's production, which there is a lot of)
Her, Courtney Cox & Paris Jackson all look just alike so strange
Anytime I see a Tyra interview clip I cringe and there is not much that makes me cringe.
Love Love Love Nelly Furtado. I had her first CD before they even played it on the US radio stations or MTV. She definitely is one of a kind.
In the other hand I mean I'm glad she's isn't super famous she's so classy I can't imaging the paparazzi stalking the hell out of her and all the media trashing her as they did with other singers, I remember her very well like when Motorola back in days was so popular
We know the entertainment industry uses people like gloves and throws them away like trash. . . 😅
She started selling out with the one eye crap and dipped.
Amazing! I always learn so much from your deep dives! I had no idea she had children! 😅 She has such a unique voice. I hope she releases something again in the future ❤
Just for the title alone IM IN
She dueted with James Morrison on his song Broken Strings... it's an absolutely tremendous song!! She is amazing on it
U can tell she has a lot of respect for herself she’s the first celebrity Ik that won’t expose her body
I was at Nelly’s 2007 concert in Victoria BC. I never met her directly but growing up there I knew who she was because I was the same age. I took my daughter to that concert. It was an emotional concert for ALL of us. Not just Nelly. I get goosebumps even thinking about it. I cried with her! I cried for all of the little girls that were screaming at the top of their lungs for a woman I grew up hoping would make it big and she did! I stood there looking around in almost disbelief but yet not. It’s hard to explain.❤ What is easy to say though is… She was an absolute inspiration for all of us and to see my daughter screaming I love you Nelly!! at a packed wall to wall concert in our new Arena! It was more than us or Nelly I am sure could have ever dreamed. It was EMOTIONAL! Cheers Nelly!! To my home girl!!! We owe you the Sooke Pot holes and SOOOO much more. ALOT of us who knew or knew of Nelly cried when she came to perform in Victoria. It was all of our moments and we all missed her desperately though. 😢We missed ourselves and a time passed or almost passed. Not gone but that was passing quickly. I don’t blame her one bit for coming home. You don’t know unless you know that time and place. It was magical.
♥️💘
I wrote Nelly Furtado once a poem about Nevis, the Island. A friend of mine who was her stage director gave it to her. Im so glad she got it! 💜
Yea, yea.. Promiscuous Girl is a bop, I'm like a Bird is memories, but the real treasure (imo) is Party's Just Begun!! I still listen to that one!!
PLEASE PLEASE tell me that the clip of Gaga's G.U.Y. ARTPOP video when you said "No good album comes without controversy" is foreshadowing bc I need to prepare for the Deep Dive of ARTPOP 😭
She will perform in mty mexico in a few months, im so excited
One of my favorite memories of my now 27yr old son... Who would have been about 4 at the time...
He would sit it the backseat of our car as I drove him to school... He would sing at the top of his voice "I'M LIKE A BIRD... I'LL ONLY FLY AWAY!"
I didn't really love the song but my sweet little boy did.
I'll always have a special place in my heart for that song and knowing the backstory is cool.
Nelly was THEE cutest little girl!!!! Goodness, I just want to pinch those Lil cheeks😂
I'm really glad that she was able to just rude off into the sunset. There are so many tragic stories in the industry, especially with female artists, so it's nice that she was able to do everything on her terms
Nelly Furtado had a huge impact on me, as a teenage girl growing up in Vancouver, BC. Not only was she a local, she embraced and celebrated her ethnicity, which was incredibly powerful for me as the child of Greek immigrants. In that era, there was very little diversity in pop culture beyond blonde and hypersexual, and the world was always telling me I wasn't pretty. THANK YOU NELLY FOR SHOWING ME THE WAY!
I was listening to Joey Diaz talk about touring and getting to the point of having to just say no because he was so fried. People have to protect themselves or they'll lose themselves in so many situations in life and some people die early because they're swept up in a whirlwind and pulled in every direction instead of making it all stop. Her kid saved her life. I am so glad I watched this and I have so much major respect for her. She's too real for Hollywood, and back then she was definitely too smart for their liking, and her morals and integrity probably got in the way. Love her!
Last time I saw her was on Lido Pimienta's show on CBS, and it brought joy to see her being supportive of underground Latin musicians, and a fun kid's show at that
I love Nelly. Everything she has done has always caught my attention. Such a gem!
Reminds me of how Stacie orrico also just vanished while on the road to superstardom
