Soon to become another byword for "
music business exploiting teens and forcing them to grow up way, way too fast", along with the sordid "Jojos" and "Joss Stones" of this world.
For example, her initial song "
Sweet About Me" proclaims, in fact, that there is "Nothin'
sweet about me", but the video proves otherwise. The 16 year old Gabriella is seen prancing around in an alluring black vest, truly betraying her age with
tits, eyes and lips which would put any
Lolita to shame, demonstrating quite the contrary: There is plenty
sweet about her, and not much of it necessary legal.
Similarly, the rest of her debut album is largely cock-tease, with most of the songs either about men, being fucked, being "terrifying to men" (even though most 16-year old females would admit to being the contrary), and peppered by law-busting titles
like "Cigarettes and Lies", even though young Gabriella herself is disallowed from buying butts in most countries around the world.
Guy 1: Oh look, there's Gabriella Cilmi banging on about how there's nothing
sweet about her, even though every straight bloke on the planet would happily bang their semen into her sweet jailbait
ass.
Guy 2: Hell yeah. I wish she'd put the microphone down and do
porn instead. She ain't Amy Winehouse.
