Gabriella Cilmi - What happened? Still one to watch!!

Gabriella Cilmi' last album should of been massive, epic even. It all seemed like it should of gone the right way, Xenomania behind the majority of the album, after all their success with Girls Aloud, a great starter track with 'On A Mission' a video to pay tribute to Barbarella.. it should of been better. Instead Gabriella seemed to vanish after the first 3 songs, with little promotion and 2 not so great follow up videos with 'Hearts Don't Lie' & 'Defender.'


Gabriella is a sexy Australian singer, she has all the credentials to be a huge hit here. It just seems after 'Sweet About Me' she has not captured the buying public with a worthwhile single. I am a huge fan, I loved the album 'Ten' which had a great load of pop songs on, including my favourite 'What If You Knew.' I think that the best singles were not released from the album and it subsequently ended rather quickly from a huge build up of excitement and buzz. 'On A Mission,' I felt, should of gone to number one here! As I type I am listening to the album and it is such a good record, and much better than first album 'Lessons To Be Learned' and is well worth a listen or 10.


Maybe the third album campaign will be different, maybe they will bring her out with a new sound and cool look. - I just hope she does not give up. The charts are dominated by USA and UK artists that it leaves little room for many other countries and with Kylie being the main Australian export for some time, maybe, just maybe its time for someone else to enter the race.
