    Hi Kim. How are you?. I am fine and good. I remember the Love You Brisbane Channel 7 Campaign And Song. The song is really catchy I still sing it everywhere I go. And the idents for the song were and still are beautiful. I watch them on my phone on YouTube Music. You have a gorgeous singing voice and you sing Love You Brisbane really well and you made it your own. Can I please have your autograph please thank you?. From your number one biggest fan in Hull East Yorkshire England UK Joanne Moore xx.
