Music Monday on Empty Streets: Nelly Furtado

I was grooving and and dancing to her tunes when I first heard her songs. It started with I am like a bird and then it was hit after hit. It was quite interesting to know also that not only was she a beautiful girl with a very distinctive voice, she has a lot of smarts too and has openly stated that she wants to be a very influential political leader of her country one day.

Here are more things about Nelly Furtado:
