Sorry, spelt her name wrong: Nelly Furtado.

Only one of the biggest female singers in the world. Canadian, of Portugese extraction. She also sang the official World Cup song (or was it European Cup) - "Forza"

The reason I mispelt her name is that my partner is one of her fans, so I refer to her as "Nelly Fat-arso" :-)
