Maneater

I don't understand why people think the messages behind Nelly Furtado's songs have suddenly vanished...

Just look at the lyrics and listen to the tone of the song, she isnt playing this maneater person in a good light. The song, to me, sends a message that the type of person that this maneater is, isnt a good one and isnt someone you should try to be like. This is an image that is being portrayed alot in todays world.

I think this and Promiscuous have clear messages, why am I the only one that seems to be seeing them?

I still like Hall and Oates version better. :-D This song like Promiscuous isnt really the Nelly style that Ive coming to really like. I hope the whole album isnt like this. If it is, I guess its just another stage of nelly.

This song is really cool, but I wouldn't say it's better than anything Gwen has put out. So what if Nelly has a "new" style; it's really fun and is another step in her creative life. The album will please new and old fans because it brings a new sound while maintaining her folkish styling.

WoW. Am I the only one who loves this song! It's obviously about a woman who can and does get attention from men when she goes out to the clubs. It happens at all clubs everywhere. This particular woman (her, not I) gets guys to buy her "stuff" and lose their dignity as well as their wallets. She has them wrapped around her finger. By the time they realize she's just used them for what they could give her, she's gone. This song was my first intoduction to Nelly. Love it.

I really like this song. It's very much different from the folk-pop I've become used to hearing from Nelly Furtado. It's an interesting change, though unusual, it works. The song is clearly about a woman who just wants to be with men who will give her what she wants, a "pimpette" if you will. It's catchy as heck too, which is always a good thing.

she teamed up with Neptunes to make the album and here's the consequence - a "sexy-shaky-groovy" song what is really not Nelly's style. However, it's cathy so it may be a hit soon. But I dont think that this sexy baby image suits Nelly......

It's a bit different to her other stuff but I like it all the same.

Oh and it's not a cover of the Hall and Oats song so you can't really compare it just beacuse it's just got the same title!!!

This is one top tune, reminds me off my best mate! She's your typical maneater- makes you work hard and makes you spend harder!!!

I like this song, but its kinda sad that now shes lost her particular style..

I wasnt being serious about Hall and Oates (but I do like their song).

I agree kaneda, she still had her style, very unique and fresh but the messages behind the songs are gone...
