One of her vids has 24 million page-views--a kind of testament. She was also on Later with Jools Holland, a more meaningful testament. Here's some--2 very different perfs: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=raJRJodI3yo and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ75T0Mf-7w << "ballsy" might be an inappropriate term to use--how about "impassioned"?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtbM6wwyA1U << no mopes or jokers or strictly promo appearances on this show. Ms. Cilmi has 3 albums after the OP, including a live session at Ronnie Scott's Club in London. BTW, she's Australian FWIW.

Cilmi reminds me of one of my favs Beth Hart!

Beth Hart fans already know and others should know that she's had 2 top-notch albums in the last 2 years, the newest being an all-covers album that just knocks this Old Soul right out. Here's AMG on them: http://www.allmusic.com/album/bang-bang-...0002413563 and http://www.allmusic.com/album/seesaw-mw0002515681 She also has a Live in Amsterdam piece with her touring partner Joe Bonamassa (life partners also?)--don't know if that's been officially released or just sorta snuck out. I'd have paid big dough to be part of that extravaganza...
Hope this is covered by "Fair use" doctrine: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZtTxEFVp4I << reminds me strongly of a similar project by Pat Benatar, True Blue or even Steve Miller's Born 2B Blue--strong, reverent but not slavish
