Nelly Furtado is the worst!
She was the musical performer on SNL...I'm using the term loosely. Her talent seems to consist solely of tossing her hair around. And the song she did with "Timberland," as Kevin Spacey called him, "Promiscuous Boy," was pitiful. Is she really a big star? Yuch!

1. And I had thought that Natalie Merchant was the worst.

2. Her older stuff was actually not bad as far as pop music goes.
I saw her back in 2001 at a local music festival, and was fairly entertained. But based on her newest single, yeah, awful.

6. I liked "I'm Like A Bird"
This new song is just putrid.

8. "Shit on the radio" was a catchy little number.

15. Do you have a picture of him playing a guitar?
Because in that picture he appears to be a banjo virtuoso.

7. I'm sorry, I don't listen to commercial radio stations, only college
stations. And don't watch TV, except for some Cartoon and SciFi networks stuff with my son. Thus my utter lack of pop-culture knowledge.

But thanks anyway.

10. I got her "Whoa Nelly"
cd and it is pretty damn good. The songs she did tonight, were IMO, "pig vomit." Except, pig vomit can help itself, it just is...Pig vomit. Nelly has a great voice, and she ...i dont' know, maybe she is listening to the wrong people, but she is trying hard to get that R and B, Black Eye Pea crowd, i guess...

12. I like Whoa, Nelly! and Folklore also sounds good for the most part
I haven't bought Folklore yet. But this new single, "Promiscuous," has a really annoying sound - in the way Britney's "I'm A Slave 4 U" does.

16. ...
I didnt know what was worse, the lameness of what SNL has become or Frutado's bizzare transformation into a Black Eyed Peas clone.

17. Well, look at it this way...
Lorne Michaels could have booked Moshpit instead:

Me? I'd have freakin' loved it. You? Maybe not so much.

18. I vote for Ashlee Simpson as SNL's worst musical guest.
I didn't see last night's episode, though.

19. Nah. The Spice Girls were still worse.
Off-key and everything. Welcome to America, poseurs!

20. Her past work has been for the most part excellent.
Her appearance on SNL not so much so.
