Spread The Word Of Nelly's Greatness!!!

SPREAD THE WORD OF NELLY'S GREATNESS!!


Right, here's the deal:

If you had to convince friends that Nelly is awesome by making a 6-Track CD, which songs of Nelly would you choose? You can gove reasons why too if you want! SHOOT!

[Nico]

I'd probably pick:

1 - Shit On The Radio

2 - My Love Grows Deeper

3 - Well, Well

4 - Scared Of You

5 - I'm Like A Bird

6 - Turn Off The Light


SOTR, cause it has always been my favourite. And I fucking love it. And the others cause umm... errr.... they are my favourites after SOTR!!!

BTW, I just noticed that I only picked songs from Whoa, Nelly!

[Nellysman]

mine would be:

#1 "Try"
#2 "Explode"
#3 "Grass is Green"
#4 "Turn Off The Light"
#5 "Shit On The Radio"
#6 "I'm Like A Bird"

Hell I think I'd just give em a copy of each cd and tell them to have fun! it's too hard to choose her songs, I like em all!

[SeiKetsu]

me :

1 - Turn Off The Light (daaaaaaaaaaance yeah + the video )
2 - Powerless (Say What You Want) (...ok this is my fav so ya have to like it !)
3 - Try (listen to her pure voice !!! you gotta love the chorus )
4 - I'm Like a Bird (hey do you recognize this song ? well it's a hit !)
5 - For?a (si si, she sings in Portuguese )
6 - Saturdays (yes yes, she plays guitar, acoustic, whatever !)

It would be pretty hard to make my friends pay the slightest attention to her songs, they all dislike her. Anyway, I'd choose the following songs:

Turn Off The Light - following the energetic sounds
One-Trick Pony - you cannot control her
I Will Make U Cry - feel the rhythm and the chocolate that turns into bubble gum
Fresh Off The Boat - get get get to that harbour
Legend - I believe in chivalry
Childhood Dreams - everyone can dream

Somehow this list does not include my favourite song "Island of Wonder" and some others that I do love. Dunno why. I guess this roster consists of songs that are just good examples of her music, for people who are not common with it and are listening to it for the first time.

Ok... most of my friends dont like her but I would put...


1. Onde Estas/Scared Of You - beautiful songs... most beautiful she has done
2. I Will Make U Cry - Quirky , Upbeat Kick Ass song
3. Powerless - In my opinion the best single she has put out
4. Build You Up - Best song off Folklore
5. Well, Well - I listened to this song all the time. I saw what I mean but I dont mean what I say.

[mwilliby83]

I think I would pick these:

1-Powerless (say what you wan't)
2-Legend
3-I will make you cry
4-One trick pony
5-Shit on the radio
6-Picture Perfect

I chose this because I think it shows Nelly's range as an artist.

[peewee]

1. I Will Make U Cry
2. Shit On The Radio
3. Party
4. Legend
5. My Love Grows Deeper Non-LP Version
6. Childhood Dreams

I chose them cos of range too, and cos they're so unique.

[Vicious]

1. Well Well
2. Hey Man
3. SOTR
4. Try
5. Explode
6. For?a

Most of them were actual singles, but these are my favourites.

[rootedchino]

ahaha, I made a post just like this awhile ago only it was
asking for 2-3 songs. http://www.burninthespotlight.com/fo...ead.php?t=1882

Ah well.

01. Hey Man! (because it has a good intro and its my fav song on woah nelly)
02. Picture Perfect (because its nelly's favorite song)
03. Party - Reprise ver. (because it showcases her singing ability)
04. Powerless - Desi Remix (because its an org. song they've heard, made better)
05. The Harder They Come (because it shows her diversity as an artist)
06. Onde Estas (because its a closer. whats sexier than hearing her sing in spanish?)
