I Know nothing about her but heard her single "Pack Up" on the radio yesterday and it's an annoyingly catchy,infectious ditty! Saw her on the lottery last night and yes,i definitely would :rock:

Not sure about the song... could be a grower.

The chrous is taken from an old wartime anthem.

As for Eliza herself... hell, yeah... she's luvverly. :love:

I'm unsure if I'm a fan. She's no plastic pop singer, which makes a nice change. I think her songs will be growers.

Innocuous, but maybe a bit twee for my taste.

It's one of those songs that I could well imagine getting on my nerves.

Eliza is still gorgeous though... :love:

I can see her getting dated/samey quite quickly. As has happened with Katie Melua. I'm definitely a fan but no longer buy/download her material, it all sounds the same.

For those who want to have a listen to the album, here's the Spotify link to all her material on there: http://open.spotify.com/artist/14L5rpGTLVUz1pD8fUeJB1

She looks nothing like Gabriella :thumbs: the music is so vastly different in style and vocals, you must be hearing things :D

Mind you I am sure I will be seeing Eliza soon, so then I can see up close how little she looks like Gabriella :D

Gabriella is amazing, looking and at singing (her voice is mind boggling!!).
I saw her a few days after she turned 17, my god! :notworthy: the first words out of her mouth to us a few feet away from her was - did you just see my knickers :thumbs: what a way to start a gig.

I remember first hearing a song of hers on the radio and thought it was an old black woman who must drink whisey and smoke like a sailor to have that voice :lol: how wrong I was.

Ohh I do think she is very, very samey and to be honest the album can be a bit of a slog for me, nice but hardly a quality album for me. She needed a bit more variety on her first album for me, mind you the peeps like it and the album has shot into the top of the charts just behind the big boys, still number 3 for a first albums pretty good :thumbs:

If she can make some songs stand out from one another I think I will like her a lot more. If she tosses in a few cover versions live that may help me like her more :D

Or you could listen to albums by Lykke Li and St. Vincent which are both miles better than all this radio shite.
