Breathe Me still gets me a little misty eyed whenever I hear it thanks to Six Feet Under. I don't care much for her other songs.

Weep like a baby every time I think about that finale.

Yeah Sia provided the backdrop for the most incredible ending in television history.

 

[Einchy]

I actually like it when her voice cracks during live performances. It's makes for a raw, authentic sound that I really dig.

It would be more of a problem if she were off-key, which I don't think she typically is.

I like it too.

It's kinda like when you hear fingers sliding on guitar strings.

 

[Unicorn]

That's like saying FPS games are Doom clones.

It's like saying doom is a halo clone.

 

[injurai]

I don't see how the two relate. Me not being a fan of it doesn't mean others can't find it fresh.

The point is you find it overplayed, which is why I said it can still be fresh for others.

Like I said, for some reason, people, including her I guess, are actually finding vocal flaws (like here when she says "bird through the night") trendy nowadays. Which is interesting to me.

I find it oddly enchanting as well, even though it makes me cringe to hear those cracks.

 

[SecretMoblin]

none of y'all listened to Zero 7 back in the day?

Seriously. Such a powerful ending for a brilliant series.

 

[Volimar]

This thread is actually the first time I have seen what Sia looks like.

 

[The Lamp]

This thread is actually the first time I have seen what Sia looks like.

She looks pretty when dolled up.

I'll feel sorry for her drug problems. It probably affected her confidence about the way she looks.

 

[thekonamicode]

YES! I'm a huge early days Zero 7 fan, I love Sia's solo work too. My wife and I saw her live a few years ago in New Orleans. She's INCREDIBLE live.

 

[AlexMeloche]

"Elastic Heart" on Jimmy Kimmel

That's awesome.

 

[No Love]

Who gives a fuck how she looks? That voice and her musicianship are outstanding.

 

[Partition]

she has a cute voice but her latest album was trash

 

[Valhelm]

Yea

 

[SummitAve]

Makes for a boring live performance imo. I can barely even see her singing.

Look out for SecretMoblin ya'll!

 

[GuitarAtomik]

I think I'm tired of the little girl / woman dance combo. Half paying attention to it, it seemed almost exactly the same as the Chandelier dance (I know it wasn't). I guess it doesn't help that I'm not a huge fan of modern dance.

The mime one I just wasn't feeling. I couldn't actually tell if he was actually signing the song or not since certain motions didn't line up when repeated. Even if he was, it wasn't interesting to watch.

Sia sounded great though and I liked that arrangement of Chandeliers so there's that.

 

[ClayKavalier]

Rolled my eyes at the Elastic Heart performance. The Chandelier video was great, it would have been nice if they at least changed the color of the girl's leotard in the Elastic Heart video but it was different enough and Shia was actually fun to watch. At this point the "Girl in skin-colored leotard does wild interpretative dance, sometimes with an adult in the same costume" concept has run its course.

Chandelier was actually pretty cool though. If I had personally choreographed it I would have used the "hang loose" sign less liberally, but it reminded me a lot of the first time I saw the Chandelier video. It was really unique and striking, it's hard to look away.

 

[Man-is-Obsolete]

It's not stage fright; it's a social experiment bucking the notions of fame and recognizability that would have been better served with someone that, you know, didn't have a shit ton of photos and music videos out already.

This. The whole thing is beyond stupid. She has performed in the past with no issues facing the crowd with nothing masking her. She said she doesn't want to be scrutinized for how she looks and rather the focus be about the music, but instead is making the focus about how she is hiding from people rather than the music. It's a social experiment that backfired.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

At least she wasn't hiding in a bed while Lena Dunham mimed the song.

Jesus Christ, I'm going to have night terrors for the rest of my existence.

 

[joelseph]

It's a social experiment that backfired.

If a social experiment is being discussed by society is it not a success?

 

[Snuggles]

The fucking mime, hahaha. Hilarious, love it.

I'm glad I'm not alone. I actually like the voice cracking.

 

[Pavaloo]

wasn't the dancing supposed to represent split personality disorder or something?

good performance tho
