New York (Top 40 Charts) - Nelly Furtado, the Canadian singer who's bowled the world over with her debut album Woah! Nelly, has now revealed her wishes for a dream collaboration with pop's hardcore bad boy Eminem.

Speaking to Top40 Charts the day before her appearance at this weekend's V2001 festival. Nelly spoke of her goal to perform with the controversial rapper who's set to headline the forthcoming Carling weekend.
'I'd love to work with Eminem. I think he's a really, really talented vocalist,' Nelly exclusively told worldpop.
