    5 out of 5 stars Nelly Turns ON The Light!   January 14, 2002

    If you're a Nelly Furtado fan, this is definitally a collector's piece worth owning. This promo includes the radio edit for her second smash hit (the longer, better, uncut song is available on Whoa, Nelly!), a rare and pretty Sunshine Reggae Mix, and a beautiful studio rerecorded acoustic version of "I'm Like A Bird", that is just as good if not better than the original version, this is the only other version of her first hit that I know of. My favorite track is the Sunshine Reggae Mix, the name literally describes its sound, bright and happy with sharp reggae beats. It certainly takes a new spin on the song and her vocals fit the background music perfectly. And to top it off, the enhanced video for the song. FYI newer remixes of this song, including the popular Timbaland & Ms. Jade remix are included on the recently released CD Single for her upcoming 3rd single "...On The Radio".


    5 out of 5 stars Excellent single   January 20, 2002

    I was really pleased with this single when I got it. It includes the original version of "Turn Off the Light", the remix (which is the one usually heard on the radio) and an acoustic version of "I'm Like a Bird". All of the songs are really good. This CD is also enhanced. If you put it in your computer, you can watch the "Turn Off the Light" video and see a photo gallery. You can also listen to the song while the words are displayed on the screen kinda like a karaoke machine. This is definitely a CD worth getting, especially if you are a Nelly Furtado fan.


    4 out of 5 stars The enhanced video stinks   September 11, 2001

    When I bought this cd I expected to see the turn off the light video seen in the U.S. but instead I got the urban video seen in canada. I prefer the U.S. video but the canada version isn't too bad either I guess. As for the music on the cd-5 stars. The turn off the light radio edit is the one heard in the video. The mix is good to, it's more reggae though (hence the name). I'm like a bird (acoustic version) is a really good song. It sounds a bit different than the regular version but it's really good. Other than the video the CD is great.


    5 out of 5 stars Stellar Mix of Hip Hop and Voice   November 3, 2001

    Wow. This song is absolutely amazing. At first I was a little wary of this song, yet then I remembered the success of Nelly Furtado's remix on Missy Elliot's popular track. Personally, Timbaland's skills at creating funkadelic and insanely creative beats are interwoven beautifully with Nelly Furtado's distinctive voice. This is definately a song that will make your head bob; the beat has such a clever hook, and though at first it may sound like another poppy rap song, once Nelly begins to sing there is no way you can turn this song off.

    When she first burst onto the scene in late 2000, Nelly Furtado made a very big impression. With a unique, if nasal, voice that made you stand up and take notice, she commanded respect from the very beginning. The first thing you noticed about her is that she was cool - very cool. A 20 year old Canadian chick singing about being a bird was different and very exciting. Was she the new Alanis Morissette? The new Fiona Apple? The new Tori Amos or Sarah McLachlan? No, she was none of these because Nelly is different to them all in that she is individual and completely unique from anything else out there. Her debut album "Whoa, Nelly!" was hailed by many critics as one of the most diverse and varied-sounding albums in years and she picked up much praise for this. The album went Platinum and sold around 7 million copies worldwide, making Nelly an international superstar. There wasn't many artists who had a bright and shining career ahead of them, but Miss Furtado was definitely one of them!

    "Turn Off The Light" was the second single to be taken from Nelly's debut album after the infectious pop of "I'm Like A Bird." This second single was completely different from her debut single - it was much more mature. Granted, it took a few listens to truly sink in, but once it did, you found a much more acceptable and almost bearable Furtado on the few remaining members of the public who had not already fallen madly in love with her. It was with this second single that Nelly's album sales started to soar around the world by the millions. And with a ditty this fresh and catchy, who could resist it? The song opens with the soft, gentle hum of men who harmonize the song in preperation for Nelly's arrival. Scratching is present, along with all sorts of dark, jungle-like noises that set the tone. Nelly then starts singing the verse after a rather lengthy intro, "It's getting so lonely inside this bed. Don't know if I should lick my wounds, say woe is me instead. And there's an aching inside my head. It's telling me you're better off alone." Nelly then sings the bridge, "But after midnight, morning will come and the day will see if you will get some."

    Nelly then sings the brilliant chorus, "They say that girl, you know, she acts too tough tough tough. Well, it's 'til I turn off the light, turn off the light. They say that girl, you know, she acts so rough rough rough. Well, it's 'til I turn off the light, turn off the light. And I say follow me, follow me, follow me down down down down 'til you see all my dreams. Not everything in this magical world is quite what it seems." Nelly then sings the second verse, "I looked above the other day. Cuz I think I'm good and ready for a change. I live my life by the moon (by the moon). If it's high play it low, if it's harvest go slow and if it's full, then go." Nelly then sings the bridge and chorus again.

    Nelly then gets into the best part of the song which is a middle section where she sings, "I'm searching for things that I just cannot see. Why don't you, don't you, don't you come and be with me? I pretend to be cool with me, wanna to believe. That I can do it on my own without my heart on my sleeve. I'm running, I'm running, catch up with me life. Where is the love that I'm looking to find? It's all in me, can't you see, why can't you, why can't you see? It's all in me, yeah!" The song then breaks into a fantastic guitar solo which is definitely influenced by Nelly's Portuguese roots. She then sings the chorus a few more times and sounds the song out as she wails and cries, "Where can you turn? Where is your logic? Who do you need?" The crickets buzz, and the song slowly fades out. The video to this song is probably Nelly's best video to date, and it's very atmopsheric and misty. Love it. Not really much else to say really! Buy this now, it's a highlight in Nelly's career so far!
