Nelly Furtado
Canada's pop princess won a Grammy for her off-beat 2000 debut single "
I'm Like a Bird." Between then and now, she's given birth to her first child and performed the theme for a world soccer championship. Nelly's new album is called "Loose," and her first single, "
Promiscuous," is a hip-hop duet with
Timbaland that's one of this year's guiltiest pleasures. It's also notable for name-dropping basketballer Steve Nash -- giving the unfunkiest guy in the NBA some unexpected street cred.
