While it was Nelly Furtado’s collaboration with Timbaland on her 2006 effort Loose that solidified her place on the pop map. Her singles are still heard across the country on a frequent basis, however it’s likely that the majority of listeners have never stopped to wonder how these songs would translate into a live setting as opposed to hearing the studio recordings (this of course would be the safe assumption). There is no questioning that Ms. Furtado is a talented vocalist, however this live CD/DVD package fails to properly capture anything more than your hard earned cash. The CD gives the distinct feeling of being in a big auditorium, unfortunately Nelly’s vocals end up getting buried deep into the mix. Strangely, her stage banter seems to find a way to emerge from time to time, ultimately Loose-The Concert is a disappointing effort.
