Shakira, Nelly Furtado, Norah Jones Support Illegal Downloaders
SHAKIRA'S SUPPORT FOR ILLEGAL DOWNLOADERS
SHAKIRA has waded into an ongoing U.K. debate over illegal downloads - insisting the controversial practice brings her "closer to her fans".
Lily Allen spearheaded a campaign last month (Sep09) to stop illicit file-sharing and called on the British government to help beat illegal downloaders, who she fears will destroy the music industry.
Sir Elton John, Annie Lennox and George Michael backed her protest - but the Whenever, Wherever hitmaker, who has sold millions of records worldwide, is sympathetic to illegal downloaders.
Shakira tells Sky News, "I like what's going on because I feel closer to the fans and the people who appreciate the music. It's the democratisation of music in a way, and music is a gift. That's what it should be, a gift."
Allen is adamant the practice means artists just starting out in the music business will struggle - but singer Nelly Furtado has also joined the debate, insisting losing sales is irrelevant to success.
She adds, "If you love music you're going to make it anyway. You'll find an audience, and you may not make like millions of dollars but you'll make enough to have a house and a family and a car."

That is probably what a true musician says who loves to make music and doesn't focus on the profit mainly.
I'd like to hear what you guys think about this!

Nelly Furtado Performs "Manos Al Aire" @ Paul O'Grady Show
I liked this performance but her background singers danced a bit odd.

Nelly Furtado: Timbaland and I wrote 20 songs in 2 days
Singer Nelly Furtado reveals in a recent interview that she is already working on the follow-up of "Loose".
Your background is actually Portuguese. So how come you ended up making a Spanish language album?
Nelly Furtado: I started speaking Spanish when I was 14 in high school, and I had a lot of friends whose parents were from Latin American countries. On Loose I wrote a song in Spanish that was kind of my tribute to reggaeton, which was called “No Hay Igual.” It’s pretty basic Spanish. But it’s still Spanish! I tried to write a song in English after Loose and it just wasn’t coming. And then I found myself writing in Spanish and got excited about pop songs again. It feels the same as when I sing in Portuguese. I guess the common thread is that it’s a Latin language, so it feels right.
You had so much success with Loose. Was there any pressure from your label to do exactly the same thing again?
Um….. Yes. [Laughs] They actually wanted me to do a quick and easy Spanish version of the Loose material and then maybe one or two originals. But I put the breaks on that. I feel like you have to follow your heart because you have more to lose if you compromise and then don’t succeed. But you’ve got to really appreciate success when it comes. With Loose I took the time to toast with champagne every number one and every platinum record.
So you were basically drunk for two years.
Yes! [Laughs]
Has making Mi Plan helped with your English language songwriting?
Yes! Yes! It cured my writer’s block in a way. I would love to do another Spanish record, but I’m also writing an English album. Timbaland and I hooked up in the studio about three months ago and we wrote 20 songs in two days. It was really inspired. I think maybe some of that material will be on my English album. I also worked with (producer) Salaam Remi on this Spanish project. He’s worked with Amy Winehouse. He and I have a really good connection as well, so maybe more stuff with him.
You worked with a lot of different people on Mi Plan.
One cool thing about the Latin music world is that it’s massive. There are so many artists to collaborate with.
Like Josh Groban?
Like Josh Groban of course! Latino! (Laughs.) He’s my token gringo on the album. I’m joking! No, Josh is actually an incredible singer in Spanish as well. We’re friends and I love his voice.

Video: Nelly Furtado: Manos Al Aire
It's a nice video and Nelly (and her man as well, damn he was actually ver hoooot) looks good. I still see the "Love Don't Cost A Thing" similarity but oh well.

Nelly Furtado - Más
Nelly Furtado's second single for her Spanish album leaked.
A decent song. Her material doesn't blow me away but I'm glad she's not turining this era in another heavy Timbo-influenced one.

Video Sneak Peek: Nelly Furtado - Manos Al Aire
Am I the only one who's getting that "Love don't cost a thing" feeling when she throws her head away? LOL
The song is fine and she looks good. Let's wait and see what the full video brings.
