Can you believe she’s only 17? Gabriella Cilmi could very well take over the US airwaves. Hopefully anyway. Her voice possesses maturity beyond her years. I’d take her over Joss Stone any day.

There’s something seriously special about Gabrialla Cilmi. I never blindly follow trends, but i’ve well and truly caught the Cilmi bug. Her voice and songwriting talent are nothing short of sensational. Better than Joss Stone and STREETS ahead of Amy Winehouse (and better on the eye too!!). It just hurts a bit for a 32 yo guy like me to realise that this new pop idol is only half my age! Oh well.
This chick is awesome. I think she has a very unique voice and very appealing talent. I can’t get enough of her…
