Jamali is a South African female musical group. The members are Jacqui Carpede, Mariechan Luiters and Liesl Penniken. The band was formed on the TV show Coca-Cola Popstars.

Although Ghetto Lingo was the winners of Popstars, Jamali has outsold Ghetto Lingo in terms of popularity and TV appearances.
Career
Jamali; Formation And Debut (2004-2005)
Emerging, like their male counterpart, Ghetto Lingo, out of the 2004 Coca-Cola Popstars talent search contest, Liesl Penniken, Mariechan Luiters, and Jacqui Carpede made their début on South Africa’s airwaves with their first radio single “Greatest Love”. It’s the lead single off Jamali’s self-titled album, which was recorded at CSR Studiois in Johannesburg. The album was certified gold for sales in excess of 25 000. The album produced the huge hit singles ‘Greatest Love’, 'Love Me for Me’ and ‘Dalile’
Jacqui: “It’s been the most incredible experience! Obviously Popstars was hard work and not knowing whether you were going to make it, made it that much more difficult. But now we are a group, working together with our producers to create an album for people to love and listen to, it becomes all that more real for all of us and I think you can feel that spirit in the music.” “It’s been fabulous,” says Liesl. “Exhausting too because we have had to record this album in a short space of time and do it with all the commitment and quality that you find in any other recording, but it’s been more than worth it.” “We wanted this to be a global album that is also proudly South African,” says Mariechan. “For instance, when we worked with D-Rex we said to him that we wanted the music to be instantly recognizable as South African and his experience as a kwaito producer enabled us to really make that happen.”

A Little Obsessed
by: JamaliM:
If I can swing from chandelier
I would do it right now if it got you here
I would walk through the desert just to dry your tears
Pay attention
Started out we weren't even friends
I never liked you
Thought you were arrogant
But all of a sudden I was feeling things
Fantasising about diamond rings
Liesl:
(I had no idea it was you)
A relationship is something I didn't wanna do
(To do)
But then you looked at me
Chorus:
I didn't know that I could get this crazy
I can't sleep without your T-Shirt baby
Write your name a thousand times
Only way I can clear my mind
I didn't know that what they said was true;
Love has a way of sneaking up on you
But it's alright, even though I'm a mess yeah I'll be alright
Not afraid to confess it
Yeah it's alright, I'll get it off of my chest and I'll be alright
I'm just a little obsessed with you.
M: Just a little obsessed with you
J:
I'll put your picture in every room
Coz staring at you's all I wanna do
Would scream out your name in a crowded room
For your attention.
Shakespeare and it's Hollywood
But boy you never felt so damn good
I'm outta body and I'm outta my mind
Hands are off I'm gonna take this ride
L:
(Now at night I never get to sleep)
I imagine you were laying next to me
(Hey)
And I'm dreaming
Chorus:
I didn't know that I could get this crazy
I can't sleep without your T-Shirt baby
Write your name a thousand times
Only way I can clear my mind
I didn't know that what they said was true;
Love has a way of sneaking up on you
And it's alright, even though I'm a mess yeah I'll be alright
Not afraid to confess it
Yeah it's alright, I'll get it off of my chest and I'll be alright
I'm just a little obsessed with you.
M: just a little obsessed with you
L:
Nobody warned me that love could be this good
I can't stop myself
I never felt like this before ooooooohhhh
I didn't know that I could get this crazy
I can't sleep without your T-Shirt baby
Write your name a thousand times
Only way I clear my mind
Chorus:
I didn't know that I could get this crazy
I can't sleep without your T-Shirt baby
Write your name a thousand times
Only way I can clear my mind
I didn't know that what they said was true;
Love has a way of sneaking up on you
And it's alright, even though I'm a mess yeah I'll be alright
Not afraid to confess it
Yeah it's alright, I'll get it off of my chest and I'll be alright
I'm just a little obsessed with...
I didn't know that I could get this crazy
I can't sleep without your T-Shirt baby
Write your name a thousand times
Only way I can clear my mind
I didn't know that what they said was true;
Love has a way of sneaking up on you
And it's alright, even though I'm a mess yeah I'll be alright
