A rumor of Nelly Furtado singing Portugals Nathioanl anthem... at Euro 2004?

she's a portuguese canadian

 

She has written the Portuguese version theme song for the Euro2004 as well....

Her parents are from Sao Miguel, Azorces and they moved to British Columbia, Canada!

 

Ela é mesmo. And somehow she ended up passing as Hispanic here in the States and was included in an Hispanic music awards show. Unreal.

It's none of my business but can't they find someone in Portugal to sing it?

 

She will never be allowed to sing the national anthem in Portugal....

1 very simple reason,she cant speak Portuguese..

She was once invited to a show in SIC ,with HERMAN JOSE and no one could understand a word she was saying....

Plus the anthems in soccer competitions are only played by bands ,no words just beat.....

 

she's portuguese and she dress's like one, she even dress with the tradition clothes from Azores, the spanish got the habit, they want the portuguese to speak spanish, but they can't speak portuguese themeselves,
Is like Joaquim Almeida one of the best foreigner actors always getting the parts of a Italian and spanish

 

I boycott watching Herman Jose his a little in the paneleiro side

 

Is that the guy who always plays the mexican,colombian, (fill in latin country) cartel leader in almost every movie

 

correct

we also had a very famous actor in the 60.s and 70.s his big part was in the Magnificient 7, his last name was Teixeira,

 

you mean Virgilio Teixeira , he was in the return of the magnificent seven and

 

correct

You are good at, I also saw him in a few more movies but I can't name it, basically spagetti movies

 

what I like about Joaquim Almeida he makes his home in Portugal, refuses to do Portuguese and brazilian 'Novelas, etc.

 

Marco,
She can speak Portuguese and she is very proud of being Portuguese! I even have an autograph from her in Portuguese. So u don't know what u r saying that she cant speak the language!

She even has a song on her last album in Portuguese...must be her Azorces accent that no one can understand..I think her new album will be a huge success!

 

I believe Marco his from Azores, he can understand the accent better then I can

 

Nelly second CD suppose to be coming out soon

 

Nelly is pretty much known in the hip-hop and R&B circles. I've seen her in a video that aired on BET (I think) a few months back. Well, anyway, just to clear up some of the confusion, here's the skinny on Nelly:

the Fado his my favorite

 

It's none of my business because I'm not Portuguese or Luso-American but why go all the way to Victoria, BC to find someone to sing the national anthem? Surely there must be sufficient talent in Portugal itself. Não é não?

 

I like Dulce Pontes, how about the Anjos? I saw theme in Brazil

 

how about
Santos and Pecadores

 

Alright, the Azores! Nelly Furtado! Pauleta! Wooo!

Chowderhead, from the native singing talent that I've seen on RTPi, I can fully understand why some people would want Nelly Furtado to sing the anthem or the tournament theme song. Maybe it's because I don't like fados like everyone else in my family...

 

I can't think of his name, but the guy the sings the song about Timor will be consider

 

Estou ligado na sua. I enjoy RTP. But, you're right: there is some bizarre image-seeking going on. I like the fado singers, though, because they're real. There must be an opera singer in Portugal who can handle their hino.

Pauleta é açoreano? No wonder.

Valeu o papo, moçada.
