5.0 out of 5 stars Beautiful album all over!
I got this yesterday and I'm hooked. It's beautiful all over. There are some fillers here and there that are forgettable, but the good songs in this album wraps your heart around. "Como lluvia" with musical genius Juan Luis Guerra is breathtaking. "Silencio" with Josh Groban is equally enthralling. And of course "Manos al aire" is also a very good song. It's a great...

3.0 out of 5 stars Good music & guests, bad lyrics
That Furtado has said that with some things she could more freely express herself in Spanish made me laugh a bit, because the Spanish of this album leaves a bit to be desired. Singing isn't her strong point, but for the sort of music she's made, it never had to be, and it has always been enjoyable - whether you preferred the more acoustic sounds of her earlier albums or...

"Como lluvia" with musical genius Juan Luis Guerra is breathtaking. "Silencio" with Josh Groban is equally enthralling. And of course "Manos al aire" is also a very good song. It's a great album. I haven't bought music in a long time, and I did this time because the people she collaborated with are of immense quality. For those who say that comment on her weak voice, I partially agree, but really all you need is someone who stays in keys and delivers an emotional connection through the songs. Her voice seems to sound a bit more nasal because it's an acoustically driven album instead of the big boom-pow of her previous productions. Overall, I think the Latin community will really like this. Bravo Nelly!

5.0 out of 5 stars Her plan never fails!, September 14, 2009
This review is from: Mi Plan (MP3 Download)
From hip hop to folk to Latin music and everything in between, Nelly excels at everything she does and never loses her passion and drive. This album is filled with amazing Spanish lyrics and incredible pop production with a latin twist. It's accessible, catchy and very easy listening. No matter what direction she chooses to go with her music, her plan never fails! Looking forward to whatever comes next from Nelly!

4.0 out of 5 stars Nelly's best!, November 11, 2009
This review is from: Mi Plan (MP3 Download)
I was a lukewarm Nelly Fan during her I'm Like a Bird and Folklore era, but when I bought Loose I was hooked. It was a fun album yet with some sad moments that really made you feel the words and the music. Overall an excellent pop album. This album is sooo good and coherent-the stories the songs tell are all interrelated, I love the guest stars and I really like this overall from track 1 to 12! If you're expecting Loose 2 in Spanish its not but what it is-is good! I'm glad she decided to do something different and not just give us a loose 2!

Nelly has done it again! If you're a true fan, you follow your singers when they venture into something new. If you're not big on spanish songs, then this is not the album for you. If you're up for new things, then check it out! I love it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't go wrong with Nelly, November 3, 2009
This review is from: Mi Plan (Audio CD)
I always knew that I was a Nelly Furtado fan, but this album really proves it. Each of her first three albums was really different, and I liked them all. When I heard her next album would be in Spanish, I was a little disappointed because I don't speak Spanish. Turns it that's not particularly relevant.

I pretty much like every song on this CD. My favorites are "Vacacion," which is a fun, upbeat song, and "Como Lluvia," which is a mid-tempo song with a beautiful melody. "Manos al Aire" is also excellent, as are "Mi Plan" and "Suficiente Tiempo." Those are probably my top 5, though all the others are good, including "Silencio," and I don't really like Josh Groban at all.

The fact is, Nelly Furtado makes good music that lifts your spirits. She writes and sings from the heart, and that always comes through in her songs. I went to one of her concerts a few years ago, and the same can be said about her performances. I find it hard to believe that she could make music that I wouldn't like. I hope that continues to be the case.

If you like Nelly Furtado but are apprehensive about this album because it's in Spanish, don't worry. You'll still like this album. I'm convinced. Music is music.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fabulous!, December 27, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mi Plan (MP3 Download)

As soon as I got a message from Amazon advertising this material I was looking forward to buying all the MP3's from the Album. I could hardly wait to have add the music to my Zune and as soon as it as done I was so pleased with her work, almost every song I heard was instantly a favorite. I gotta say only two songs I don't like as much but I don't necessary "hate" or skip every time I play the whole album. My favorites are "Suenos", "Mi Plan", "Bajo otra luz", "Vacacion", "Silencio", "Fuerte" and "Como lluvia".

Great job!

4.0 out of 5 stars I love it!, November 5, 2009
This review is from: Mi Plan (Audio CD)
I have been a fan of hers since "Loose" but after hearing this CD, I actually went out and bought all of her other CDs just to have. This CD really is beautiful. Highly recommended, so make it a part of your plan to buy it :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Nelly Furtado Proves To Be A Bilingual Star, November 1, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Mi Plan (Audio CD)
For many years now I have been a Nelly Furtado fan. However, the only album before this one that I have purchase was Nelly's "Loose" album. After that album I really got hooked on her music, and after seeing her live in concert I thought she was so amazing. When I heard she was doing a Spanish album I had mixed feelings. I loved the song "Te Busque" from her last album, but wasn't sure she could pull off an entire Spanish album. Aside from my mixed feelings I went ahead and bought this album when it came out. I must say that I was quite impressed. This album is a string of hits, starting with "Manos Al Aire". However, my favorite song from the record would have to be "Bajo Otra Luz". The songs on this album are fun and vibrant. I listened to the entire record front and back, with no skipping of songs. I am very happy I can add this to my collection. I hope Nelly Furtado continues making both English and Spanish music, she has a great sound. If you are interested in buying this record, I totally recommend it. There are a lot of great guest performers on the record that add some extra charm. Hope this review helps.

5.0 out of 5 stars Manos al Aire, October 6, 2009

This review is from: Mi Plan (Audio CD)
Well i think, all in all its a good production! Some songs have to be listened more often but at least,
you will bring it up to your car and you will put the sound to the highest level for everyone to hear.
Manos al Aire could be also a good song for all the fellows next year when the world championship of soccer will start,
i think so. Gracias Nelly por las canciones maravillosas!
