Love it - it sounds like it should be from the soundtrack from some american brat pack movie from 1985!!!!

Yep it does sound 80's, but I also agree that it's pretty damn good.

And Gabriella is one of the sexiest singers in the world.

You're right.

The keyboard sounds like Jump and the bass and drums sound like Steppin' Out.

Yes the intro is based a bit on Joe Jackson's Stepping Out. For personal reasons I was unable to like Sweet About Me, although I acknowledge it is a clever song. However the lyric "I am a woman on a mission" is one of the best singlalong lyrics of the year so far!

Totally-I'm glad other people have noticed. I remember a few weeks ago when DS had the video those two rifts 'jumped' right out.

It really is a brilliant song. Deserves a top 10 peak position at the very least. She's fast becoming a real star. I'm amazed she's only 18, I thought she was in her 20's.
