+babycakes would of liked to hear rihanna sing cheap thrills and adele sing alive. i wont ever understand why sia kept alive for herself because to me its obvious it was a song written by adele for adele
Artist: I'm sorry, I don't wanna put this song in my album. Sia: Okay. I'll just sing it myself then. *later gets really big and successful off that song*
Juliette Veronica well, if you’d know in advance that something will be a hit, sure you won’t turn it down. We don’t know how many songs of hers got turned down and didn’t make it anywhere. That amount could be far greater than the actual songs discussed. Artist receive a song and need to ‘fit’ it on their album, so if your song is the third power ballad received, chances are high it will get turned down to make room for other songs.
Keep in mind that "rejecting" doesn't always mean that they think the song is bad. Sia's songs usually boast a huge vocal range, while at the same time requiring great power; and some artists just can't pull that off well enough.
Exactly!!!!!! none can match that pitch. The ladies were wise to reject it knowing they couldn't match the demands.. Only Sia can deliver with style & passion!!!!
Green Peace except for Footprints I'd like hearing Beyoncé singing it but in Sia's voice some parts are annoying also, I think that Demi Lovato singing Broken Glass would sound amazing
Have you actually listened to the lyrics of that song? Yeah the chorus is pretty basic and "poppy" but it's actually a really sad song, with meaningful lyrics.
sia should stop giving away these masterpieces and keep them for herself. only she can make these songs sound unbelievable, only she can hit those high notes 😂
Elliott Potts Correct, she has such great voice , she should them from now. Also those artist could only sing good without understanding those great lyrics....
I think she writes the music because it’s fun, specially when putting on the persona of a major pop singer, plus if it’s a hit she profits off it and is less stressed about money and can make more bops! :)
I can’t believe diamond was written by her and rihanna didn’t reject it, so now everyone knows diamonds by rihanna. Can’t I be surprised? I know the difference between writer and singer.
I think cheap thrills would still sound good with Rihanna the chorus sounds singing melody sounds totally like Rihanna (I'm talking about tne style) Rihanna managers are idiots. But Sia killed the vocals so it's all fine. I'm glad her talent for writting doesn't go unnoticed
Just let go it's not a matter of being kind- she's a song writer so that's her thing. just so happens that she's a fantastic singer in her own right too. many talented song writers can't sing the way the singers they sell their songs to can...and many talented singers can't write their own songs.
AG Rock Studios Because she couldn't sing it well.. Sias voice is amazing, it makes masterpieces maybe she didn't have the voice Sia has. Makes perfect sense. She just wasn't cut for the job.
AG Rock Studios and it's not really a reject since Adele has the lead writing credit in the song. Plus you can clearly hear the Adeleness on it something sia has talked about too. It's not like Sia wrote it gave it to Adele and she said no simply because Adele doesn't sing something she hasn't written except covers obviously
+Cake Blogger Legit AF! All of Sia's songs are with feelings inside them, maybe some aren't that obvious but still better that Der der der der der ashakalamaka werk werk werk wek
+Justine S. they don't need to regret it cause those songs are not getting popular. Not saying the songs aren't amazing they are just not becoming hits.
Crixalis Sleipnir katy was fine. she probably just wanted to sing her own song that at least she co-write them. She took another song from sia tho called "Double Rainbow" and it's still amazing
She had a break from music and being in the spotlight awhile back for mental health but wanted to still make music so she wrote. Thats why she doesn't show her face anymore either.
Maybe thats why pp2 rejected it, it wouldnt work in the context, i love the song but hey, they used Cheap Thrills at pp3 and it was lovely to see such a great song in the movie
I feel as though some of these artists rejected her songs because they knew they wouldn't fit the bill. I mean, come on. As much as I love Queen B and Adele, Sia's voice is out of this world. She's a powerhouse! I don't think these artists would do her songs any justice.. then again, Rihanna's take on "Diamonds" was actually good! :-D
Witch Twist When she does RnB and soul (when she played Etta James on Cadillac records for example), I agree with you. Beyonce's latest album wasn't really good in my opinion. I can't help but feel like she's not using her god given talent to her full potential. But that doesn't mean I think any less of her. She will always be the queen in my book. I just can't picture her singing any of Sia's songs because her voice is more clear and soothing in a way while Sia's is the complete opposite. I hope you understand. ☺
Thanks God they rejected. Finally we have a singer that is made up by herself and not by managers. Thank you SIA showing us that the hard work in the end is paid off.
Damn.. Sia's just sitting out there watching other singers become Millionaire with her written songs.. what a Genius.. but this 13 songs are rejected just like that what a shame for those singers..
That's a very common thing in this industry that every songwriters need to deal with, the tracklisting of an album and all that need the approval of a bunch of people (label, manager...) I think Sia is kinda used to that ;)
i'm glad they rejected sia, sia deserves the credit for such powerful and creative songs. like diamonds, hardly anyone knew that it was written by sia and rihanna got a lot of money and thats what really made her even more famous! but sia never got credited for it! Sia ur an amazing singer u dont need to write beautiful songs for people that dont appreciate the hard work u put into songs, and i'm proud and glad to have such a SPECTACULAR singer that is australian!!!!!
Adele basically ordered Sia to destroy the version she had recorded, so I guess we'll never have that chance. Unless Adele decides to do a live cover in one of her shows. She's known for that.
+Evelyn Valenzuela I can't believe they went with "flashlight" on pitch perfect because that song blows. I believe they said Sia wrote both, but it's really just so cheesy. But anyway, ultimately, I'm glad for their poor judgment, because bird set free by Sia is amazing and one of my personal favorites of hers, too. It would have been a real shame for such a great song to only be part of a soundtrack for a terrible movie sequel.
Almost all of the songs in the Confident album were written by her. It's not shit, atleast Demi wrote it unlike other people who buys songs and takes the credit of the masterpiece that was done by someone. But she accepted one song from Sia already that will be in the soundtrack of the movie, "Charming", they will both be.
I'm glad they rejected these beautiful songs,they can't deal,I swear. SIA'S high pitch is one of a kind. SIA'S VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL,IT TOUCHES THE SOUL.
Can we just take a moment and thank god that all these songs were kept by Sia? Because none of those would have sounded as great if they hadn't been recorded by Sia herself. #letsbereal
Tbh tho without rihanna not needing songwriters, it wouldn't have been able to make sia to pounce off on her own. Im not sayin she wasnt famous, but her music before was not as popular, once she started writing for big names it increased her interest. Songwriters imo are needed to, it gives them a chance to reach out and express their songs without having to have all the fame.
I'm glad all these songs were rejected as sia can sing better than all of them in my opinion
Lewis Smith i think so too
I agree
Sia is the best
SIA is the best
+Mrom ghaziz I agree
I'm glad they rejected them because sia gets to sing it now and I love when she sings.

Keep in mind that "rejecting" doesn't always mean that they think the song is bad. Sia's songs usually boast a huge vocal range, while at the same time requiring great power; and some artists just can't pull that off well enough.
Buddha B yeah I agree
Truly said
Sia wouldn't give songs just like that, she makes a songs fitted for that artist. And here is not the case.
Buddha B thats it 😌
Exactly!!!!!! none can match that pitch. The ladies were wise to reject it knowing they couldn't match the demands.. Only Sia can deliver with style & passion!!!!
it's their loss. this is the best album of 2016 imo
Ashley Zink not really
Ashley Zink yass 💪
Brandon Calvilo wasn’t even that good tbh
True
It's not, 25 had an amazing success worldwide even without 'Alive'
I'm obsessed with a real talent.....sia is a real and gifted artist
That's true.
Well, that's not gifted that's hard work
Sia songs can only be sung by SIA !
Diamonds was writing from sia but she gave it to Rihanna
@@jake24685 oh really
Wow she is really good singer
lets compare Diamonnd from Rihanna and Sia.
Let me love you from Ne-yo and Sia.
just much more better if Sia sing it herself.
Sia song are way too hard to sing I agree with what you seld that her song can only sang by her that is very true
Pedro Q That was a mistake
"We want real feelings in the songs"
*A few months later*
Work, work, work, work, work, work.
"That's so deep, I'm gonna cry😭😭".

You obviously haven't listened to her otherwise best received album to date.
+Simón Vizcarra XD

Alive and unstoppable. There is something about Sia's voice that gives them fiery life. I don't think anyone else would've done them justice.
You get me!
Man! I love these songs
Agree
I honestly cant imagine unstoppable in anyone elses voice. Sia's is perfect😌
Exactly!
I'm shock when I heard Cheap thrills was rejected.
Vena VXMV me too
it's not up rihanna's alley tho... like at all. i'm glad sia kept it for herself
Not fit for her style, Rihanna's fashionable and always in style.
Then cheap thrills? That's not dope.
😂😜
im glad she kept cheap thrills.
And also Alive... Like what?! That's LITERALLY one of my favs!! I'm actually glad they rejected it since Sia actually sang it better
Sia is The Greatest ❤
Laura Vale True!!!
Laura Vale
Laura Vale Pun Intended?😂
Lololololol I see what u did there
Totally agree 💖
So basically Sia made her album out of the songs she wrote for another artist and they rejected. Cool
Michelle Texier yeap that's the reason why the title of the album: this is acting
Michelle Texier and made the best album of the year (my oppinion)
Michelle Texier yeah. It's called "This Is Acting" because Sia feels like she's portraying the artists that rejected those songs
Gracie Brinker that makes so much sense! Love it. Love her.
Michelle Texier Exactly
All those artists can say "Sia" to all those potential hit singles...

But you not listen this with another singers
"we want songs with more feelings"
That's why they released Work
yep
They said that she later realized that it wasn't really Rihanna's style. Work definitely is. I can't really imagine Rihanna singing cheap thrills.
work isn't the only track in that album. have you heard close to you? higher? bitch bye👋
Have you actually listened to the lyrics of that song? Yeah the chorus is pretty basic and "poppy" but it's actually a really sad song, with meaningful lyrics.
Tan Conan exactly 😑
Sia deserves to have a Grammy Awards!!
I am even suprised.she deserves so many grammy awards.They should think about that.
You're saying A?I think atleast 10
Not grammy, grammy is now scammy so she deserves mtv and billboards
Yhyh
We, the lovers, think that... I can't believe this goddes doesn't have a grammy
Im glad they rejected Alive, that's my jam and I wouldn't rather have anyone else sing it but Sia
ikr
I don't like Bird Set Free, Alive and a few songs I don't like at all..I can understand why they rejected them..
Markersable Sorry but you cray cray
Of course I respect your opinion though
Yeah. I can't imagine someone else sing Alive. Nobody has her powerfull voice to sing this song
Markersable yeah. Because u might prefer songs that have mean words.
'We want some music that has feelings', that's why we released 'wark wark wark wawark'.

Can’t I be surprised? I know the
difference between writer and singer.
It's called a demo. It was written for Rihanna to perform. What's the issue?
is the concept of songwriter and singer hard to understand ?

Just let go it's not a matter of being kind- she's a song writer so that's her thing. just so happens that she's a fantastic singer in her own right too. many talented song writers can't sing the way the singers they sell their songs to can...and many talented singers can't write their own songs.

Because it was more suited for Sia anyhow. :X

It's not like Sia wrote it gave it to Adele and she said no simply because Adele doesn't sing something she hasn't written except covers obviously
Sia can sing so good... People say that ariana grande or billie eilish can sing good but sia is just the best...
agree
I'm a Billie Eilish fan but I agree. Sia is on a whole other level. Sia is the ceiling of music industry.
*Sia is amazing.*
probably because they couldn't carry the notes
yup, maybe
Don't insult Sia. Obviously, as a competent songwriter, when writing for a specific person, she knows the range of the people sh'e's writing for.
I'm pretty sure that a compliments for sia

Great choice xd
I’d like to thank those girls for rejecting the songs 🤣🤣😍
So basically, Sia can sing just any genre
Basically
Not basically, she can
Maybe she'd fail Black Metal but her voice is a total treasure these days.
Honestly & I'd never thought of black metal
Brandon Dennis well it exists and i don't think Sia can do it lol
Am I the only one that's surprised that she's 40??? She sounds Soo much younger
sia is a legend .. why she give her songs to people who don't deserve !! 💔
I’m so glad riri passed on Alive. It’s my favourite Sia song❤️
Michelle Muskeyn I thought they said that was for Adele
SAMEEEEE
Michelle Muskeyn this song was for Adele not RiRi
sia doesn't get enuff credit for ridiculousl talent that she has for writing music
Still SIA is BETTER than them...
S=Sia
I=Is
A=Amazing
The only one who knows her is Sean paul
I'm so glad they rejected them, Hearing sia singing them is worth it
Sia made them PERFECT 👌
exactly! Sia should have not let go of Diamonds though it's so cool to see her do it on her performances
I'm glad they rejected these beautiful songs,they can't deal,I swear.
SIA'S high pitch is one of a kind.
SIA'S VOICE IS BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL,IT TOUCHES THE SOUL.
And she has the best Voice Crack!❤️
Can we just take a moment and thank god that all these songs were kept by Sia? Because none of those would have sounded as great if they hadn't been recorded by Sia herself. #letsbereal
None of the girls that rejected her songs is as good as Sia so I am really glad she kept the songs! ^-^
Aline Tesfaye Except Adele.
Except Adele and Beyoncé
It's called "diffrent".... You're welcome
Yep, except Adele
K-Generation / K세대 / Except Adele.
tbh i'm happy they got rejected xD nobody could sing them better than herself
Alive is my #1 favorite song from Sia, I love Adele! But that song is a Sia song! ❤️
i bet they regret not taking this songs... they all beautiful
I would like to seriously thank the person who finally convinced Sia to sing her own songs.
She said in an interview that it was the guy who worked with her on Titanium, so that would be Calvin Harris?
+Rogers hetman the Would be David.. not Calvin.. for goodness sake..
+Bree Uglylove oh yes , I had his name in my mind but Calvin's was in my tongue .. My bad.
+Rogers hetman No prob.. 😊😊
+Rogers hetman You mean - David Guetta?
I'm so glad Unstoppable got rejected cause that is my favorite song by her
Kween Kenna same
Me too
So basically we learned Rihanna can’t write her own songs 🤷🏼♂️
Rihanna has a very similar voice to sia. I think that's why sia like selling songs to her.
She's a bitch & is so high end so I wouldn't have expected her to take the song. But sis has a since of humor
Tbh tho without rihanna not needing songwriters, it wouldn't have been able to make sia to pounce off on her own. Im not sayin she wasnt famous, but her music before was not as popular, once she started writing for big names it increased her interest.
Songwriters imo are needed to, it gives them a chance to reach out and express their songs without having to have all the fame.
Harrold DJANI / Sia also likes selling her songs to Rihanna because Rihanna is one of the few big name singers who doesn’t write her own songs.
Am she wrote Rihanna. .... songs to.... diamonds
thank god they reject the songs because sia sang it perfectly and no one can sang them like she did even adele !!!
These "artists" who rejected those songs did a huge mistake.
I'm just gonna say it, Sia's rejected songs are better than the artists who rejected her.
Not Adele tho
Why did Sia write songs for other people when she can sing them herself?
She doesn't want to.
Andrew Le she was a bit scared and insecure that people will judge her
Maybe cause singers ask her to
Ed Sheeran also write songs for other singers
Because that's her job..duh
they rejected them but sia sounds better singing them anyway I can't believe they rejected alive
I believe they regret now
yeah me to why ALIVE!!!!!!1!!!!!!!
Why does she try to sell them? No one sings them better than her.
Imagine if these songs weren’t rejected. The horror. Alive, for example, just won’t be as strong. Only Sia can sing them with raw emotions.
She's an actual Artist and nothing compares to someone who writes and sings their own music... beautiful voice and blessed with talent
