Getting To Know Gabriella Cilmi (Part Two)

Now that we’ve learned a few fun facts about Gabriella Cilmi, let us assess her musical worth via a collection of video clips courtesy of YouTube.

Shall we start with the official video for her single ‘Sweet About Me’?

Oh, go on.

And what have we learned?

&middot Gabriella appears to have recruited her band at a John Butler Trio concert.
&middot The gentlemen dangling upside down helplessly would probably concur that there is nothing “sweet” about Gabriella Cilmi.
&middot Is there some kind of Hard Candy-esque situation going on, considering Gabriella’s age?
&middot It is nice that the gentleman playing the harmonica is still willing to contribute to the song despite the fact a clearly unhinged Gabriella has tied him up and will, in time, probably leave him suspended in the air by his feet.
&middot Gabriella has fine taste in comfortable chairs.
&middot She is also well aware of how important it is to stay hydrated. Eight glasses a day and all that…
&middot Nice mic.
&middot Duct tape = maniac’s best friend.
&middot It is unlikely the dangling fellow survived the fall. Looked like a neck breaker to us…

The song itself? Good, actually. After the 00:35 point anyway. Before that the high pitched vocals were kinda irritating us, but once she started belting out the chorus we could see the appeal.

Here we see Gabriella having her make up done.

Pretty little thing, isn’t she? HOW ON EARTH IS SHE ONLY 16 YEARS OLD?!

As this clip shows, she is pleased that she could “pass for older”, piping up “Oh, that’s good.” after the television hosts make the understatement of the century.

Finally, here she is performing live on Jools Holland.

Seriously, is she REALLY only 16? This is doing our head in. We want a first hand account of the birth from a midwife and date-stamped photos please. The usual address will be fine.
