[ Furtado will be backed by four dancers and her six-piece band, including Toronto rapper Saukrates on percussion who also fills in for "Loose" producer Timbaland, from whistling on "All Good Things (Come to an End)," to rapping on the duo's monster hit, "Promiscuous." Saukrates will also double as the opening act.

"For the last eight years I've never really traveled with a full production of lights, visuals and dancers -- and this tour I've got all of it," the 28-year-old singer enthused to Sun Media in Victoria. "I've spent eight years building my musicality so that now I can rely on that, but then I also have a great backup up there with all the production, which is a treat for me.

"The show is inspired by Miami. There are palm trees on the set, white palm trees and a white stage, and it's got a little bit of drama to it. I think the show's a little more sensual or sophisticated, but I keep the primary focus on the songs." ]

I'm going to the June 7th date @ Madison Square Garden.

I cannot miss her this time. I missed her during the Folklore era, now I finally have my chance.

I've always wondered what it would be like to see Nelly in a fully-produced tour. I'm gonna try and look at Atlanta real quick.

Could be a cool show. I'd dig fi they put that on DVD for sure. I don't imagine rushing out to see her in Detroit's Opera House so close to my deadline.

I'm thinking if it did go on DVD they'd do the Garden date in New York. It seems like the biggest venue is the New York show.

I BET Timbaland or some surprise guest is going to pop up during that show. New York shows always have extra treats.

She know she could've hit Houston up instead of rinky dink Grand Prarie...

I wonder about that...I mean, considering the noteriety of MSG, wouldn't it cost more to shot there than at some place without such a name. I know I remember hearing about a comic (Artie Lange from the Stern show) who played Caneragie Hall and I think if you release a DVD or CD using that venue, you got to pay so much to use the name.

Seems like there are two types of DVD/TV special orienated concerts. With Madonna, it's a mega event that is on TV (be it HBO, NBC and in the future, maybe On Demand...who knows) and then there are those concerts that just pop up on DVD and aren't as well producded but are still cool to see. Nelly's great but I wonder be surprised if she has a show that ends up as a major special but a DVD isn't out ofthe question...Pink released two in about that many years!

Im surprised that she is playing the Garden, is it the Arena or the Theater inside, because no one has been selling out the Garden, unless you are Elton John,Billy Joel at this point, Garden shows have not been selling out. I know alot of artists have listed MSG on their tour schedules but they are actually playing the Theater which is much smaller, around 3000 seats

i've seen her do a 60 something minute show at a festival last year
and she was very good.

she wasn't the typical kind of act for that particular crowd so they
were waiting to cut her down but she had them by the nuts from the
get go.

great live vocals and she premiered some of her (then) new album at
the show which were just spectacular.

the whole crowd was into it.

i heard rumors here on org that she can't sing live in key

MSG??? It seemed like just yesterday I saw her at Irving Plaza. (She performed "I'm Like A Bird" twice that night. ) For the Folklore tour I saw her at Town Hall.

! ! ! No Baltimore/ DC dates! ! !
