[@Yeeeesh]

THIS TINY DESK BLEW ME AWAY!!! BEEN A FAN OF HERS SINCE IM LIKE A BIRD!! Love to see her CONTINUE to SHINE!!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

[@zzeringue9853]

She deserves the attention! Love her sound and presence!

[@wikydansa]

I watched it and immediately watched it all over again lol

[@shut_up_james]

It’s crazy that I forgot about that remix until it started playing and then suddenly I knew every word! 🔥🔥🔥

[@luizetesilva9286]

Man, im from Brazil… I just watched Nelly’ tiny desk on KZbin. Shes amazing.

[@gastronautadf]

It caught me by surprise to se her on Tiny Desk, but as someone who was OB SESS-ED with her in the early oughts, I was thrilled to see this wonderful performance. I want more!

[@i_viz_ion346]

Nelly rocked it! LOVED it! 💕

[@nickie17301]

She’s amazing singer.

[@victormatavasquez]

I have a feeling she changed the game for tiny desk forever and we will see a lot more of the medleys like this in the future.

[@davidc8879]

Amazing artist! She has so many songs that are timeless. Class act!

[@afrilifewealth8743]

I'm glad she's back!!!

[@therealbomiangel]

Her Performance is one of the best, if not the best I've watched on Tiny Desk...

[@shatterstar913]

NOW NELLY'S TINY DESK HAS OVER 1.1 MILLION VIEWS! GO NELLY!

[@loydwilliams6693]

A brilliant mix of perfection, love of her band mates and nostalgia!

[@Whiskey_Jane]

Because she was so good ❤😂❤

[@yaymusica]

I never ran so fast to a tiny desk performance ! I am so excited for her new music ! I hope she gets the recognition she truly deserves again !

[@AlbertoLZ02]

She also didn’t sing any songs from ‘Mi Plan’. You should all take a look at 4 tracks, well 5 (2 from The Spirit…, The Ride and 1 from Mi Plan): The Spirit Indestructible: - Waiting for the Night - Don’t Leave The Ride: - Pipe Dreams - Right Road Mi Plan: - Fuerte …and Fantasmas Cheers!

[@aj.a1845]

Her daughter is 20 now….Jesus I’m getting old. I remember when she took time off when pregnant.

[@jillsarah7356]

I love stripped down/live instrument versions of pop songs. It was awesome, I highly recommend watching

[@earthrocker8955]

It was a wonderful canadian set so glad she played Explode

[@lpurvis]

This was a well edited video and commentary as usual!

[@jbt6007]

I guess I'm an outlier but I liked a lot of tracks from The Ride, Magic in particular is a great song. Nelly is incredibly talented and hugely underrated as one of our great pop artists. She was blending cultures way before the current trend. I'm glad she is back.

[@JenShea]

Nelly is so talented!

[@Aya00303]

Him reading Missy’s response 😂

[@paulorocha9889]

So in love w u girl. Forca Portugal 🇵🇹 u make us all so proud, querida. Your an amazing talent w an angelic voice, indeed, from the beautiful Azores!!!!! God has blessed the Azorean Islands for sure... e.g. Steve Perry from Journey!!!! You two are an absolute inspiration to future generations. Both of you, not only singers, also song writers. Nothing even comes close. You are out of this world. God Bless 🙌🏻

[@alabaster193]

It was incredible.

[@cinnameg18]

This title was super great clickbait

[@AllGreyEverything]

She had multiple singles that didn't make it into the performance, even ones that charted high. After all those songs, she still had more.

[@mc0806]

It’s already iconic

[@Musicfan-dz6yz]

That was such a great crossover mix #Iconic

[@Glmanboy]

We don't need to diss 'The Ride' it's one of my fave albums!

[@JGexplode]

Nelly is the best! 😍

[@matthewshell]

Definitely fun!

[@christianvance1614]

I love her so much!

[@ShannonPanfilio-xd6os]

Loved it!

[@emms8]

LoveD it ❤❤❤

[@crismarieb6275]

I wish she would have sang afraid from the loose album but the whole performance was 🔥

[@melanatedwealth2222]

WOW!!!

[@MHIBlee]

She ist the best ❤❤❤ beautiful human!

[@travisjay43]

Is that Missy? 🤔

[@mape52]

Juste Great, That All!

[@doowop9833]

She rocks. Love from Colombia.

[@Aus10sims]

Like Missy said…That junt was fye!!

[@adamwehri]

Dude tiny desk has been killing it for so much longer than you think . Your clearly not sure what the point of these were

[@desireerice3699]

fire alright

[@yoteddybaby]

T Pain and Juveniles tiny desks also were trending

[@arthurwatts1680]

I loved Nelly's performance but I had hoped to see a little more Missy Elliot reacting to it. Just sayin'.

[@timekabolden5309]

I really thought she was gonna be mad! 😂😂😂😂

[@mustafaa965]

I would like to see Patti LaBelle do Tiny Desk.

[@Oratual_]

Grest video but im sorry are you in pain or something???

[@Stefarooh]

My god she has a 21 year old daughter yet she still looks 21 herself.

[@Luqas808]

Pity she left out songs from Spirit Indestructible

[@mccoygeniuss8856]

Missy Elliot did not say it was FIRE She said it was FYE, rhymes with EYE.

[@TheEverSoTalented]

I didn't know much about Nelly F - so when she did a18⁰ and decided she wanted some of that 'sweet sweet white girl urban pie' that was just sitting there waiting for someone with the talent (and if not...just the front!) to now be a 'bad' girl... and it helps if you know a track god like Timbaland and someone to 'backup' Justin Timberlake.....its easy after that I suppose...well done that woman!!

[@thedaintypancake]

idk what u were trying to gain from this, but Nelly killed and seemed like Missy approved of it

[@travishawkins5923]

Her backup singer was louder than her

[@marksousa8595]

🇵🇹🇵🇹

[@Reo805]

Thumbs down cause your annoying but thumbs up cause I love nelly

[@pitpride1220]

First!

[@RaceClistonRacebizzy]

Yo she doesnt not sound how she sings.

[@timekabolden5309]

But why tf did they pick Nelly?!? Who faded out!? Why not Missy?!?!?;

[@nonid5627]

It was Nelly’s set babe. Don’t hate.

[@Rosannasfriend]

Didn’t they both fade out? Why hate on either one of them? They both had amazing careers at their peak. When it’s Missy’s turn, she will have her own tiny desk.

[@JenShea]

Why not Nelly? Both women are extremely talented… Missy may be too busy right now.

[@timekabolden5309]

@@JenShea History. Missy will be on tour down here in South Florida this summer! 😱😍😌🥳 ⛱️🌞 Nelly ain't got ish on Missy.

[@timekabolden5309]

@@Rosannasfriend Nah . Missy is wayyyyy more relevant in music history than Nelly. That's why. She bout to go on tour with Busta Rhymes/Cierra/Timbaland 😱🤣😆🤣🤣
