An accomplished Canadian singer and songwriter is Nelly Kim Furtado ComIH. Furtado is one of the most popular Canadian artists, with over 40 million records sold worldwide. She is well renowned for her musical variety and interest in trying different genres. She originally rose to stardom with her trip-hop-influenced debut album, "Whoa, Nelly!" (2000), which was both critically and commercially successful and produced the top-10 songs "I'm Like a Bird" and "Turn Off the Light" on the Billboard Hot 100. She received a Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for the first of the two hits. Folklore, Furtado's reflective and folk-heavy second album from 2003, explores her Portuguese heritage. Although its singles enjoyed a little amount of success in Europe, the album's poor reception in comparison to her first was seen as a sign of her sophomore slump. With more than 10 million copies sold globally, Furtado's third album, "Loose", from 2006, became a huge hit and one of the best-selling records of the 2000s. Furtado, who underwent a major cosmetic makeover, continued to explore her Portuguese ancestry while gravitating more toward hip hop. The singles "Promiscuous," "Maneater," "Say It Right," and "All Good Things (Come to an End)" all reached the top of the charts around the world. During the same time period, her Timbaland collaboration "Give It to Me" (2007) topped both U.S. and international charts. In 2008, Furtado and James Morrison's critically acclaimed duet, "Broken Strings," topped the charts in Europe. She has received numerous honors during her career, including three Much Music Video Awards, ten Juno Awards, one BRIT Award, one Billboard Music Award, one MTV Europe Music Award, one World Music Award, and one Grammy Award from seven nominations. She also won a Latin Grammy Award. On February 28, 2014, Anbal Cavaco Silva, the then-President of Portugal, presented Furtado with a Commander of the Order of Prince Henry medal and a star on Canada's Wa.
