The Top Ten
1 Say It Right

When you change the velocity of the song (the speed and pitch) slightly faster, it sounds so much better for me. It makes me love this song even more.

I love her songs, but this is like the best song. This song is very special to me. It makes me think of a very special person in my life. I love it.

Truly, I love this song! Her voice is awesome. What I like most about her is her sexy figure. Beautiful lips, spellbinding eyes, I simply love her!

2 All Good Things (Come to an End)

This song is a classic! It's still good to listen to even up to this year (2012) and for the years to come.

This is so much more meaningful than any of the other songs on this list.

Really shows how creative and brutal Nelly Furtado can be.

3 Maneater

When I saw the video for this song, I fell in love with it. It could have been turned into a great movie. Nelly looked so beautiful and dangerously hot there. Great song.

This is definitely her best song and her biggest hit. It's memorable and catchy and will stick in your head for days!

This is her trademark song with her best chorus! This was number one across the globe when it came out. It should be first!

4 Promiscuous

I love this song so much. It may not send out the best message, which is why Furtado probably switched it from "Promiscuous" to "Mysterious," but the song is still pretty good. The beat is cheery and uplifting, and the chorus is so distinct from the verses. A perfect blend of hip-hop/rap and pop.

Timbaland beat (one of his best ones), Nelly's sexy, near enchanting voice, and an all-banged-out video. Clearly a recipe for a hit. Dominated the party soundtracks when it came out. Great song!

5 I'm Like a Bird

"I'm Like a Bird" is the best song of Nelly Furtado. It's a great song, full of emotions, a great song.

Not even close. Best Nelly Furtado song by a mile.

6 High Life
7 Try

This is probably the best Nelly Furtado song that exists. The lyrics are really powerful, and her voice has never sounded this great. Just perfect.

It's her favorite song and mine.

8 Glow
9 Do It
10 Turn Off the Light

This is by far the best Nelly Furtado song. The lyrics about looking for love in yourself by changing your ways are great, same as her strong, unique voice and the awesome beat. It sounds nice and deserves #1!

The Contenders
11 Somebody to Love
12 Broken Strings
13 Powerless (Say What You Want)

The song has the most meaning and has a brilliant structure. I simply could not live without this song to help me through the bad times.

This and "I'm Like A Bird" are the fun and free Nelly that we no longer see.

If you'd have heard this song, then you'd have said it right.

Very uplifting and great sounding.

14 Explode

Just amazing. It's one of those songs that you could hear all day!

15 Afraid
16 Spirit Indestructible
17 Miracles
18 S*** on the Radio (Remember the Days)
19 In God's Hands
20 Night is Young
21 Waiting for the Night
22 Bucket List

Awesome song with meaningful lyrics that explain feelings we all face as humans and things we want to achieve before we die. It also has a very dreamy video.

A very catchy song and one which stays in your head the whole day! Should at least be in the top 15!

I think this song's amazing! Made me realize that yes, even I gotta make my bucket list. I always listen to it when I'm low, and this song never fails to lift my spirit. Love it!

23 Legend

Hidden treasure in her first album.

24 Give It to Me

Definitely better than All Good Things (Come to an End)! Justin Timberlake is in this!

25 Big Hoops (Bigger the Better)

Amazing, mixing both mainstream dance with the soft R&B we saw Nelly do on "Loose." Essentially, this mixes the best from her debut album and "Loose."
