Nelly Furtado's recent Russian gig descended into a riot after a rapper was banned from the stage.

After the large-scale success of Nelly Furtado's third album Loose, the singer wants to switch things up and try another musical style: Rock.

International superstar Nelly Furtado serves up her music live, performing a collection of her most popular songs to date on Loose The Concert, a DVD and a CD, both confirmed for release Dec. 4 on Geffen Records.

Global sales of Nelly Furtado's third album, Loose, have passed 6.1 million and counting. No other female recording artist has achieved this level of sales during the past year.

Now that Celine Dion has abandoned the Vegas strip (and also evidently, threatening to retire) she's turned her attention to making a new album. The gaunt crooner plans to join Fall Out Boy, Nelly Furtado, Missy Elliott, Madonna and Justin Timberlake on the list of artists who've employed the skills of production superman Timbaland.
