Nelly Furtado

Furtado first gained fame with her trip hop-inspired debut album, ''Whoa, Nelly!'' (2000), which was a critical and commercial success that spawned two top-10 singles on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, "I'm Like a Bird" and "Turn Off the Light". The former won her a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance. Furtado's introspective folk-heavy 2003 second album, ''Folklore'', explored her Portuguese roots. Its singles received moderate success in Europe, but the album's underperformance compared to her debut was regarded as a sophomore slump.
Furtado's third album, ''Loose'' (2006), was a smash hit and became her bestselling album, with more than 10 million copies sold worldwide, also making it one of the bestselling albums of the 2000s.{{cite web|url=http://www.kuwaittimes.net/read_news.php?newsid=MTI3ODI3OTY2MQ Provided by Wikipedia
