I knew that she spoke portuguese but I have never heard her speak it personally. It would be awesome to be able to speak many different languages personally.

some people already posted around that she is from Canada but a Portuguese descendant as her parents are from Azores islands. here is the song from EURO 2004 where she sings some parts in portuguese http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ChGxIvWscA for those who wants to listen to her talk (with a very severe azorean accent) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmCWigiteNc

I honestly thought nelly furtado was spanish after she sang that song which i can't pronounce. Nonetheless, whatever her nationality she is, she can sing very well.

I've never heard of that but I believe she speaks portuguese because as a latin girls, she speaks spanish, then, in 1 month a spanish speaking person can easily learn portuguese if he/she has the will.
