Sell-Out Girl

Nelly Furtado used to be cool. Hip. Even innovative and inspiring.

Now, she is just another sellout.

She has bent over to the machine, taken it in the ass for cash and has abandoned her fans that stood loyal to her. Where is the Nelly we used to know and love? She is on the street corner flashing her wallet with her new, transparent hit: "Promiscuous Girl". The new and manufactured Nelly has named her new album "Loose". Clearly.

Turning to the oh-so tired 'formula' of featuring a rap star on a song to gaurantee sales is not only ultra-lame, but it is as unexpected as her recent Blender interview, where she had this to say:

On toning down her hippie vibe: “I went through a feminist phase and read a lot of philosophical stuff. Some of the male bashing brainwashed me for a bit so I stopped. I love men!”

First, what does being a hippie have to do with feminism? Sure, there are plenty of hippie feminists, but they are not one in the same and there is certainly no correlation.
Second, screw right off. It's as if her PR Rep got a hold of her brain as well as her artistic integrity.

From her website: Nelly Furtado has gone from flower child to "Promiscuous" girl.

Not one dime from me, Sell-Out girl.
