Nelly Furtado - Powerless (Say What You Want) Official

[berk3456]

music is now in the worst level in history i miss songs like this :(

[dinnae]

I've always loved this song. Years ago, I put it on repeat while playing a computer game, which I ended up playing for 6 hours straight (oh, the amount of spare time you have as a teenager). I'm still not bored of the song, which goes to show what a great song it is.

[120nadia]

i miss nelly furtado x

[aleQz15]

Wich kid of Folklore was that??

[8SaraF]

@aleQz15 it's called "vira do Minho" traditional portuguese dance ;)

[MsRubab07]

i loooooooooooooooooooooooove NELLY`s style+song

[KozmikKrap]

and artists have multiple facets of themselves. perhaps shes just exploiting another one of hers right now musically. and it happens to sell! huh!

[KozmikKrap]

one of the best nelly furtado songs in my opinion. and what a pretty girl.

[rolotk03]

amo esta cancionm muaa

[girlygirlyblonde]

15 ppl feel powerless

[Isabelbeibeizhu]

[amaririi]

this one gets a W for win. Thank you Nelly, I love this entire album!

[wieloElo]

hey Nelly please re-upload this with better sound and video quality!! thumbs up!^^

[SammyB6476]

I was watching the documentary on CTV and Nelly was it and I heard her singing this song. I had to listen to it again on here. I just love this song and her message in it.

[PeaceLoveTila]

I LOVE this song!!! :) 

[loli123love]

14 people are crazy

[AGentertainment]

More than likely she sold out to Timbaland because records like this weren't selling well. Too bad this is the better music.

[pants698]

i remember this song when i was like 8!

[MyCharlyCharlot]

A feel good song what always makes me want to dance

[InspectorphattApple]

Nelly is the finest babe in the universe!

[los0De0Abajo]

This video brings me good memories

its my favorite haha

[Afr0Afr0]

artists gotta evolve to sell record you fuckers. move on with the time.

[rzrlight]

@Afr0Afr0 naaa they evolve to become better Artist; they made comercial music to fullfill the empty persons who think money its everything, like you...too sad she was good :)

[geiuy]

@Afr0Afr0 you are right,people don't understand this simple thing.they keep complaining. it's not only to sell records,artists change because that's human nature.we change,we evolve.i love 90's music but i don't expect singers to keep doing the same type of music

[thongrrr]

how could this end up as it did :( i really liked her music but now ... now ......F*C^& you music industry,,,,and well she could say no if she wanted to :(

[anclavexpinoy209]

I miss old Nelly Furtado :(

[metaljhoe18]

just an angel turn into devil... this song s is better than her new one..

[gavster1975]

[celestialnubian]

Folklore is her best album by far.

[snoepert1]

i love this song!!!

[GoldiLockz517]

shes so cute. :)

[doctorwhoone]

Does Nelly still sing ?, it's just that i dont hear anything about her these days, no new songs, nothing [ rather like Avril Lavigne really, dont seem to hear about her now, she just does perfumes as far as i know like this Forbidden Rose she made a year or two ago. ]

I decided to look this Video up as i saw it played on a TV in a Pub with my parents and a couple of good old friends of ours and just ended up singing this song. well, i say singing, humming would be more correct.

[GArbedg]

@doctorwhoone She has release a Spanish album in late 2009 wicht was very successful in Latin America exiding 200000 just in Brazil I think and was very seccussful in other contrys like Germany where w N° 1.

And she realese a Nelly Furtado Best Hits in Late 2010 whit lead single The Night Is Young and is set to release a new album in Early or mid 2011 wich is cald for now Lyfstyle.

So as you see She's still here.

[doctorwhoone]

@GArbedg COOL = )

Thanks for letting me know.

[wil60]

@doctorwhoone she make in 2010 a spanish album called "Mi Plan" and now reale a greates hit album, the best od nelly

[aznBebe86]

NELLY FURTADO IS FROM VICTORIA IN CANADA!!!!

[CaliforniaSquirrrels]

Say what you want, but Nelly Furtado did not sell out. With each album, she's developed as an artist and produced a unique sound composed of constantly changing elements. That's why she made songs that are different from each other: so that people who like this sound and message can listen to this, and people who like the sound of Loose can listen to that; so you don't have to complain. She's multidimensional and multifaceted - she's not a one trick pony, which is good for her and for her fans.

[MrGameyboy]

I use to love thIS Song been lookin 4 it Damnn...Shes Just An Amazing Singer

[celestialnubian]

This is MY Nelly Furtado. Not the new one. This one!

[aut0bi0graphy]

perfect (L)

[goodfellas63]

DId you know that nelly is portugue, but the song is Canadian?

[waterflowing2]

@goodfellas63 What do you mean the song is Canadian?

[goodfellas63]

@waterflowing2 Yep.

[waterflowing2]

@goodfellas63 How is it Canadian?

[goodfellas63]

@waterflowing2 Well, look at the background should i say. But not only that. This song is a littlebit about freedom. And Canada want to make a song about that. So they ask Nelly Furtado for it.

[auggiedoggy]

@goodfellas63 : Nelly is Canadian, born in Victoria British Columbia. Her parents came from Portugal to live in Canada.

[aangsebastian]

nice song and great vid.,

very-very colorfull.

Remind me of someone who very love this song.

[MsKikiLaRue]

Aww Nelly Looks so beautiful in this music video. I know she wants to portray sexy and edgy now, but we need more music like this.

[waterflowing2]

I LOVE THIS SONG!!!

[Captainkirk08]

Some of her best work.

[MyaChrisify]

so uplifting

[Chrysoberil]

Sa plus belle chanson <3

[rickbermeo]

yo I know this song is good but when they played it on the radio the beat was different, can anyone send me this song with the other beat that played on the radio?

[LaMala57]

luv this song

[thelonelyslayer]

Nelly's life "is too short to live it just for you". And even when she feels "powerless" against the retaliation of her fans, she knows what to do. She'll "say what she wants". haha.

As long as she continues to make fun music then all the more power to her.

[thelonelyslayer]

It's not fair to label an artist as a "sell out".

People grow and change and cannot and should not stay in the same place in life forever. And as an artist changes, so does their music. Their music is a reflection of their life.

[AdiRudi]

@thelonelyslayer It's one thing to have a genuine artistic change of direction. It's another thing to do it at the behest of your record company when an album flops, which I have a bad feeling is what happened here.

It's a shame Folklore didn't sell as well as her first album. It's a good album with good, catchy, well-written songs. I only wish I'd bought it now.

[salizarrr]

Apparently the public didn't get it because Folklore flopped

[TrucLikesCurry]

shes great in whatever song she sings, this or maneater. deal with it

[silvi123321]

this song its so beautiful!!!!!....and so"pure"!!!

[ROgeRtred]

tmr buenos recuerdos en el cole xD ya stoy viejo

[ROgeRtred]

tmr buenos recuerdos en el cole xD

[sparhawk1975]

hate her current music, this is great

[FallingStar55555]

amazing song..i wish she could go back to being so natural..

[A1sausie]

What does this song mean?

[Sujeet017]

nice song

[VillianousUndead]

Back before Timbaland stepped in and commercialized and completely FUCKED UP her sound and style. I can't skip songs on Whoa Nelly and Folklore... yet all I do with Loose is skip songs looking for one I might actually want to listen to. WTF?

[funny0000000]

Why is it such low quality?

[Urbania05]

i first saw this thanksgiving morning 2003.

[achilleskocaeli]

excellent song

[kellyspetcareLA]

One of my favoritew songs. What a talent-what a message...and then ---she did in deed sell out...oh well...

[sarre87]

she has the cutest smiling eyes in this video! =D

[kbthamc]

sell out real talk you had songs to empower people and let them realize certain things but now you getting that big money you switch up i fucking cant stand people like you wut the fuck is the point of gaining the world but loosing your soul in the process?

[lilkunta]

@kbthamc Why is she a selllout? Did you buy hr last cd LOOSE? She still has songs are there that are about life, struggle, etc. Just bc Nelly wore tanks tops, & tight skirts she is a sellout? Come on! Why is Madonna allowed to change her style every 2 years, why is Kylie Minogue allowed to, but Nelly cannot?

Perhaps if you had supported this cd FOLKLORE more, Nelly wouldnt have gone & worked exclusively with Timbaland on her 3rd cd LOOSE!

[superpeppo93]

I love this song and I love Nelly Furtadoooo xD

[KittyPimps]

i liked her so much this way :(

[thevampireblood85]

buongiorno!!!ma cosa mi hai combinato?questa mattina hai una faccia!!sembri più cadavere del solito,i ragazzi dicono che hai preparato una mega sorpresa...lo sai che ogni volta che le fai una sorpresa delle tue finiamo con il ritrovarla in una pozza di lacrime per l'emozione...nella sorpresa sono inclusi i fazzoletti?...perchè visto che ogni anno ti impegni sempre più,le lacrime si sprecheranno...hahahaha...baci­o

[vegana13]

my englich's bad, ya, i noticed dat too, Nelly changed her musik style, befor, she wuz doin folk, and pop and now she doez r&b, and befor, she dressed in another way, less sexy, less feminine, and now she dress mor hot

[trooperbobbi]

@vegana13 no te falta mucho en tu ingles hijo^^ que solo son las letras que no te salen como bebian

[jonzofon]

I miss this Nelly! I was only 10 when this was released, reminds me of happier times :( And I sorta fell in love with Canada and Canadians like 5 years ago and only this year did I learn she was Canadian! :O

[A1sausie]

there's like ten videos to this! This one came in the most clearer?

[UppitYYYoungster]

Not a massive fan but I do love this one,its my fav Nelly song!<3and shut up all u hateful bloggers,dont u have something better to do than hate on ppl?Geez-get a life!

[NelstarMusicTube]

ABRE TU CORAZON !!

[SunnySteph1]

I've never seen the video until now, but i've heard this song years ago, and have always loved it.

[bostonceltz]

She is now. But she was sexy in this video, thats for sure.

[bostonceltz]

She was sexier when she wasn't a whore.

[abbahunter]

she was never a whore. Do not say thet!

[lilkunta]

@bostonceltz she isnt a whore. you suck.

[AH64ab]

I was been ages since I heard this song...Love it so much...

[bra13vo]

heard this over the PA in Kmart in Sydney..

then i remember how much i really like this song, and i adore Nelly Furtado!

[yetnayet9]

oh how much i love it

[bushidobabygirl]

Cause this life is too short to live it just for you

thats so true

[steviesniper]

I like all her albums. And for all the people who are giving her a hard time about her recent musical approaches, remember it takes guts to experiment with music the way she does...

[Psychology]

No, it doesn't. It taks guts to remain true to yourself regardless to what idiot people say about you. She basically did everything that this song and album preached against. Still, I have respect for her for her first two albums (this one is paticular). But hey, if you like her later stuff, more power to you. Fuck what everyone thinks or what I think. Like what you want to like.

[steviesniper]

I disagree. never stepping out of your comfort zone doesnt give you room to evolve. I'm thinking about Colbie Caillat. All her songs sound alike. And i dont think her album "loose" was that bad, different to her earlier stuff yes, but not bad.

[Psychology]

We'll agree to disagre I guess. I enjoy hearing he same "type" of songs from an artist as that's what makes them them. Take Leigh Nash. She's pretty much been the same throughout all of her albums and I love it.

[lilkunta]

@Psychology so one should be the same throughtout their entire career? so you must not like madonna.

[lilkunta]

@steviesniper very true. colbie songs all sound alile.

nelly experiemented. LOOSE still had introspective heartfely songs about life.

[profusionyt]

@Psychology

THIS. I never thought about it, but yes, she's basically done a complete 180. Hopefully her passion for music will return one day.

[lilkunta]

@profusionyt Nelly still has her passion for music. She was in hot sexy fun miami when she made this cd. The cd still has heartfelt introspective songs. You all just heard the singles "promiscuous" "maneater" "say it right" and didnt do your won research. 'te Busque' is about her depression. 'Say it right' is about her breakup with Nevis' father Jasper Gahunia.

[Betty88ify]

She is sadly too underrated! Folklore is a good album :)

[kuddlezworth2]

I love this! Better than her new crap.

[rliseenatcopia]

I prefer her look then than now, i remembered her first music video which was 'I'm like a bird'. That was cooler than anything else she's doing now. Her first two album was goood!

[JjessXD]

lmfao how old <'3

[katbeezee99]

omg i did not know what this was called i never even heard it before... but then it started to play in my mind and i was like damn this is goood but it probabally doesnt exsist and after it was stuck in my mind for a whiIe thought it sounded like nelly furtado. So i serched her trying to find this song in my head! and i clicked this... IT DOES EXSIST

[greymattervandal]

Thanks for putting into words what I couldn't. That feeing used to happen to me all the time when I was your age . It's like there's certain songs just floating around out there, just waiting for you to find them...

[babisai]

i remeber watchin dis song when i was lyk 8yrs and i still luv dis son

[levenslicht89]

shes one of the few female singers i really REALLY like!

[chelseabearcouture]

man... she was my idol... i loved how she was so different and her music was such a good mix of sounds. never too conventional. she had a distinct style that shine through her music.

now she's just another pop star with a hit.

i don't see it as her selling out. just a step in another direction. testing the water to see how she likes it. i hope she doesn't like it. lol

[lilkunta]

@chelseabearcouture WELL SAID! She is testing the waters!I hope she does like it. The dance songs on LOOSE are great!

[surfer53]

@chelseabearcouture It's not so much that. Sex sells. It's a simple formula. A person with her notoriety shows her stomach and she's damn near guaranteed a gold record. I don't like to moralize pop music. I really don't care. I just think she dropped a couple of notches musically to pursue this new angle, which is more commercial. Selling out? Meh, let someone else judge that. But it's easy to compare a song like this to Promiscuous Girl artistically - no comparison. This one is far superior.

[chelseabearcouture]

@surfer53 I said that I don't see it as selling out.  By "testing the waters" I meant trying out new angles, which includes more sex appeal and wider audiences. Like you mentioned. I think we are on the same page here...

[VividIngenuity]

@chelseabearcouture I would feel awkward hearing this in a club or at a party, I think she's just being versatile...instead of just feel good sing a longs, some dance beats too...

[contrail2k8]

i really really like this tune/song

[annacskajr]

This song always makes me cheerful. :) Thanks, Nelly.

[OneEyedBeastTV]

i think shes pregnant in this vid, usually her vids are high energy but you hardly see any body shots. I'm not moaning I find it interesting, and didn't she have Nevis somewhere around this period?

[lilkunta]

@OneEyedBeastTV Yes . This vid was made in Aug 03. Nevis was born 23 Sept 3. Then FOLKLORE was released 25 Nov 3.

[pedropa01]

I looking for a song by Nelly Furtado, I don't know the name, but I know that she's dancing on the video with a orange blouse, I think ... Do you know the name??? Or what am I talking about?? Help me! Thanks!

[moncsa80]

I think you are looking for the Turn off the light song.... at the end of that song she is wearing an orange jumper :)

[LittleChrissi95]

I think you mean 'Turn Off The Light' ;)

[mishletomoni]

@pedropa01 Turn off the light,maybe. :)

[llomer]

She sings about every aspect of life, I love her music.

[schienenwerfer]

She's the best.

[MissBasketballertje]

I know this song already when I was a baby. And I stilll love this song

[monkeycrud]

i hardly think she sold out just cos she did a few raunchy numbers!

[smudgers42]

this is my childhood song, loved it wehn i was little and i still doo

[DnylF1]

haha and this was only a couple of years ago!

She's one of the greatest female artists I know.

[rashagal1]

MOOOOOORE song like this!!!

[MrsMarinaIstIhrName]

Ouu..ich liebe das lied soo sehr ! :schwärm:

:-*

[SuggyBaby]

i love this song :)

wow what a changeee. she goes form talking about this meaningful stuff, to now with maneater O_o and promiscuiousgirl and give it ot me :S sexual much ;)?

[baller2705712]

thanks for posting this video up i was looking all over for this... nelly is the best... VIVA PORTUGAL...

[Chelsea432234]

shes SOOO cute!!!! ^_^

[bohemianchick411]

Wow. Nelly Furtado before she sold out.

[bhabooshka]

@bohemianchick411 what do you mean?

[bohemianchick411]

@bhabooshka I mean, this was back when Nelly Furtado was making unique music. Now it's all unoriginal hip-hop.

[bhabooshka]

@bohemianchick411 But how is that a sold out? May be her taste changed. Like 50 cent is getting into club music these days.

[VividIngenuity]

@bohemianchick411 I feel as though just because she moved on to dance music and her own original albums, doesn't mean she's sold out. Also, the song says "Say what you want, this life is too short to live it just for YOU." she'll do what she wants, haha

[cubbear88]

@bohemianchick411 OMG i TOTALLY agree!

[xxxkingforadayxxx]

@bohemianchick411 who r u to judge her?

she didn't "sell out", everybody changes in there life. i watched this interview and all these songs still mean so much to her.

[08jpanne]

this video is so full of life--love the colors and energy!

[danilopop]

love nelly shes best

[augustoss1]

es hermosa!!!! pero a mi me gusta asi ahora es ta echa una puta, ahi era una diva hermosa volve!!!!!!!!!

[claunelly]

Is she working on a new album????

[adriandoher]

whyyyy did she have to change! i love how she sings this way!

[Neptune22h]

i'm portuguese and i love Nelly Furtado, she sings very well, and this song is beautiful, i love it.

[MANACARACO]

I love this song, me encanta por fin al encontre!

[thickbrianq]

[jonhwacom]

portuguese pride!

[knightemilio]

Man she is wonderful i like her cd loose all the songs are good. when i heard this on the radio i knew it was her she has a distinct and wonderful voice. ontop of that she is beautiful.

[xygma33]

[dahianaly]

Esta era mi canción preferida a los 12 años, hasta ahora es una de mis favoritas =)

[supparimu]

one of the greatest song ever made...

miss the old nelly but don't really mind the new one either.

[kermiterant]

superbe chanson

[USI1993]

I like Hip Hop and Rap, but still, I like this Nelly Furtado waaaaaaaaay better than the Loose one.

[makeone88]

her old music is way better then her new hip hop stuff

[ZallyAward]

I totally agree. The old stuff was so much more original and had much more spirit. Just notice the colors in the music videos. They go from rainbow in the old ones to black and white in the new ones. Everything has to be so stylish, it's boring.

[ShellyBellyDbcccc]

I love this song!!!!

BTW does anybody else think Nelly Furtado and Courtney Cox Arquette from friends look alike.

[supparimu]

OMiGosh

u're ryt she does look like Courney Cox

[vampcrazy8]

omg i never relized that but she does

[xXxGuessxWhoxXx]

You know, i always thought so!!! Just less wrinkly! omg! so glad someone else thinks so! HIGHFIVE

[Jedyvico]

[mysideboob]

I think people miss her anthem type songs. I do too.

[cavamo]

Es tan preciosa como mi novia zamira.

[Legend1315]

This music is awesome. I prefer her old music to the new stuff, but she's a great singer anyway. I'm proud she has Portuguese roots, my country :D
