Like
a lot of people, I first heard of Nelly when her single
was
being played on the radio here in the
UK. I really liked the song and Nelly gave amazing performances live on
TV. I saw her being interviewed on Top of the Pops Plus, she talked about
her album Whoa Nelly - her influences and inspirations etc and I knew
immediately that I wanted to hear more. I bought the album
and was not disappointed - all the songs are
fantastic and different in style. I haven't stopped playing it since and
now have two copies - one for home and one for the car!
Soon after I bought her next CD single
which
features a totally cool Timbaland remix '…It's getting dark in here…'
and also contains a CD rom video that I love
. I started to look out for all thing's Nelly and bought every magazine
that I could find her featured in (some imported from Canada, Portugal
and the US) and am now on my fifth Nelly scrapbook .
I also bought the soundtracks from
and which
Nelly features on. The Tomb Raider remix with Nelly and Missy Elliot is
amazing and proves without any doubt that Nelly is the best thing since
sliced bread! Nelly's music is fantastic but it is also her personality,
creativity, intelligence, energy and sense of fun that makes me a big
Nelly fan. In November 2001 I was lucky enough to get tickets to see Nelly
at The Forum, London as
they sold out very quickly. She was fantastic
and everyone there had a great time and were partying like mad. For Christmas
2001 Alan bought me a new mobile phone
that has a Nelly logo
and 'I'm Like a Bird' ringtone….it is just soooooooo cool. In 2002 we
went to see Nelly twice ... at the Birmingham Academy and the Manchester
Apollo, she was fantastic and this time I was lucky enough to meet her
and she signed
my Whoa Nelly CD .
I was really nervous before listening to Nelly's second album
, I couldn't imagine anything that I would like as much as Whoa Nelly
but, as ever, Nelly's always full of surprises ... I absolutely loved
it and now her third album has been released
I couldn't be happier .. I now have at least 43 tracks of Nellyness
Just
a little bit about me ,
Alan and I live in Oxfordshire
, England , with our
two cats Oscar and Molly ,
where I run my own cross stitch design company .
I love reading
... anything really ... ,
and the
books. Musically, Nelly is my favourite but I also like ,
, , ,
and
plus lots of other stuff
.
