    I have to say that, Mi Plan unfortunately really rather boring. I love Nelly, love most of her songs and her former styles from whoa nelly to loose, so not just loose. my fave album was folklore from her, because, i felt that, she expressed the best herself on it. And when i heard that album, i thought: wow! a really amazing person with unique style and voice! and i couldnt wait for her new album, mi plan. Manos al aire was a special song, a great mixture and i thought: if mi plan will just like good as the first single, then this album will BE AWESOME. but after this good single, i began to be disappointed. más was romantic, but too slow, in bajo otra lúz just the chorus part was liked and it was a similar situation with mi plan single too. so, theres 3 song on the album, what i really like: manos al aire, fuerte and suficiente tiempo. thats all. i think, that was the problem, that nelly want to release a superfantastic spanish album, and thats good, that nelly really enjoyed the album-making, but i miss the dynamic, interesting and excitin songs. and i also think, she doesnt provide the voice-capacity, what we accustom from her, because her audios are very weak. Nelly, your next album let be much melodious and exciting, please! and i think, these mistakes arent the consequences of the language borders, just this album too relaxing to be hiter.… Expand

    I wonder if people bought the album if it wasnt by Nelly Furtado. It was very, very mediocre. Makes her last album Loose look very good, and that was already not good for Nelly standards. People always say, that Nelly tries different things with every album, but this time her new songs are just...boring. And its not because I dont speak spanish, but because the music is just so simple and dull. And, even more surprising, Nelly has no soul or any passion on this album. She has delivered better vocals on her other records. Its a record youll hear while on vacation when you have a drink at the beach bar and relax. From an artistic point of view it is pretty bad. People that only liked Loose by Nelly, will be disappointed. Even hardcore fans will be disappointed, not all, but many like me. Nelly has arrived in the mainstream pop business, and now she follows her female collegues by recording boring pop music.… Expand

    It says quite a bit about Nelly Furtado's ambitions and skill when her Spanish detour winds up being arguably her strongest album yet.

    The music here is lush or spare when necessary. More singing in this context makes her shine more brightly.

    The songs stay bright, friendly and generalized yet heartfelt, awaiting the singalongs they invite in Ms. Furtado’s latest language.
