| | Customer Reviews: Gaby rules (24 November 2008)I first heard Gabriella Cilmi when i saw her supporting the Sugababes live and afterwards i went straight out and bought the album and it was excellent. I also saw her on her own tour and she was amazing again. She's a great new talent and deserves to become very very successful especially when you see some of these over-rated singers like Amy (attention seeker) Winehouse and Leona "Yes i can sing but my songs are so dull" Lewis doing well. I bought this special edition even though i already had the original version for the new songs including her cover of Cry Me A River which is better than the original. It's a pity Save The Lies didn't do as well as Sweet About Me when released as a single as i thought it was a classic but this album is loaded with great songs like Don't Wanna Go to Bed Now, Safer, Terrifying and Awkward Game and i urge anybody who likes great music to go out and buy this. Fab, far more than just 1 hit song (19 November 2008)We brought this albumn after hearing the Sure advert song, Upside Down, and were very impressed with the whole albumn. The second half of it for me is the best. Would defintiely recommend this and look forward to future albumns by Gabriella. If you like Duffy, Katie Melua etc your sure to like this albumn Disappointing (24 October 2008)I bought this on the sole basis of the single 'Sweet about me' I liked this song and her voice.... I still like that song and her voice but this album truly disappointed me. The lyrics; nothing clever here, she rhymes everything, Owe, Show. Thunder, Wonder. Night, Bite. Play, Day. Grumpy, Bumpy. Ding and Swing!! and Maybe Baby!! No!! I know she's young but this just goes to show poor inexperienced songwriting and in my mind very lazy! Her voice is quite pleasant and some of the tunes are nice but the laziness of the lyrics just made me laugh and after about 2 listens it just irritated me... Maybe she will mature and with some songwriting lessons or a good mentor she will get better but she has not impressed me with this album. Autopilot Xenomania (01 September 2008)Cilmi has a characterful voice, but her album is let down by poor quality control. 'Sweet About Me' is undeniably great, and the ballad 'Safer' is well above average, but much of the rest seems like autopilot Xenomania to me - too many tracks sound like the ones Girls Aloud left in the wreckage after a ram-raid on the studio. The bonus cover of 'Echo Beach', a proper song with a memorable tune, only shows up the fluffy filler that precedes it. wow (27 August 2008)loving this album, can't stop listening to it, she is going be be HUGE! |
