I was flipping through channels when I saw the "I'm like a bird" video on Mtv. I like the song, so I went out on and brought "Whoa, nelly!". I loved her music ever since.

I Was Combing Myself In Order To Go To The School (i Have 12 Year Ufff)and Saw Mtv (In may of 2001 )Then Was Beginning "i'm Like A Bird"when Finish I Left "lela,ida... Weathever" And I Said Myself To My Same One "oh God This Girl Called Nelly Furtado Sing Very Good" After Saw "turn Off The Ligth" And Buy The Record From That Then I'm A Big Fan Of Her Jeje

I became a fan when I was a kid, I was 10 or 11. I was making my big transition from Nickelodeon to MTv. I was watching some of my first music videos and suddenly theres a girl covered in mud. It completely absorbed me, the lyrics were awesome, the colors captivate me and the voice of nelly was almost hypnotizing! Since that day I cant stop listening to her!

I became a fan when I bought her album in Beverly Hills, I wanted to buy something besides new shoes. I already bought her single ILAB, but became a fan when I listened to her album for 4 weeks long on vacation.

I was watching the ILAB video in my best friend's house, and I rolled my eyes and turned to her and said "Great, just what the world needs, another girl singing bubble-gum pop", and she said "Really, you think so? I like this song". I really respect her opinions in music, so the next time I saw the video I gave it a chance and I was blown away.

I bought Whoa, Nelly, sat down and listened to all the songs while reading the lyrics, and I've been helplessly in love with her music ever since.

...but then one day I went to buy an Hip-hop album, and someone screw up and put the Whoa Nelly cd in the album case...

Haha, what an "accident" - anyone works in a store? Take a good tip from a Dutch Nelly fan ... Just kidding

That was so funny - but you quit childrens tv that young? I must've been fourteen or something

I got into Nelly somewhat recently, maybe half a year ago. I was watching a music video channel, and Try came on and I was so touched by it, and it stood out so strongly from all the light stuff that was on, I was so blown away to see something with substance, and such spirit there.
