Well said. It's the same reason people old enough to have seen Gene Tierney in person during her prime say she was the most beautiful woman to ever work in Hollywood. She had a distinct overbite (imperfection).
Why is anyone watching this idiot.... who is he and why does anyone care... every idiot has an opinion he is just watching a video and has nothing to add... seriously why do we care about his input...
People probably care for all sorts of different reasons. I personally care because I love singing, and Tristan has done lots of extensive research and knows what he's talking about for the most part. I get to learn from watching him. The real question though, what gives you any credibility for us to care about your opinion?
@@ToveriJuri i don't agree. Most people know Sia, but couldn't pick her out of a lineup. No idea what she looked like before this and she's been very famous for years.
Yen Snow yeah, she said it doesnt work all the time, but she can still get away epwith shopping at walmart still, so its worth it, even though she used to show her face when she had a fsir amount of fame prior to her blowup. She does show her face to fans backstage and shows her face for charity events she performs at for animals or LGBT. Love Sia :)
and the whole not being so bombarded with fame is another thing. I heard somewhere she was on hiatis for rehab but I don't know for sure about any of it.
I believe she said she did it to avoid getting recognized, and side note what's even crazier is the fact that she is 41! and she's hitting notes most 20 year olds can't
Omg I love her cracky voice so much.. some of her songs are there to party.. others to cry others to feel stronger others to get goosebumps others to just be happy and I love her for that
@@calentomuylento1662 I love Sia too and I know how she does her voice cracks. But the ones during a high note is not deliberate. She says so herself it's hard for her.
She doesn't cover her face because of being scared. She actually covers her face to not be as recognizable. She wanted to stay out of the public eye due to her past popularity. She also had some issues with Drugs and Alcohol and is trying to stay clean without the pressures.
She used to have a problem with alcohol and or drugs and she is sober now. She found that when she was performing that she would destabilize because all the attention was too much for her. Then she started wearing the wigs so that she could just focus on the music and it helped her to stay stable.
Yay finally the right answer! Lol. I liked some of her music but never looked into why she wore the hair and why she has that dancer with her a lot. Now that I know I am barely discovering the beauty of Sia and her dancing friend! Can't stop playing Alive the one she performs on the voice
Sia grew up with parents who were/are both ( Mother & Father) professional musicians, vocal teachers, song writers, singers, performers, artists and are super multi-talented in the music industry. Sia is a chip off the 'ol block, so to speak and she is a true Genius & Legend. Musically, She is a Super Genius. As to your question, why she use/still does sometimes hide her face. Though many stories are out there, I watched a extended interview on Sia where this question was answered. She basically responded that it was sort of a joke initially, but said something along the lines, that she never really wanted to be famous, that she just wanted to get her music out there to be heard.....and that she appreciates, likes her privacy, being able to walk into any store and no one knowing who she was, being able to walk anywhere she wished, and not being followed, and recognized, free to do whatever she wanted. That the hidden face, allowed her to do that. I too had heard the story about her having stage fright, however, this was her explanation in that particular interview. She values and appreciates her privacy in her personal life. She is by far, my absolute favorite singer, song writer, musician, recording artist and her talent is limitless. Every song she sings, writes, reaches into my soul, and moves me. Takes me through her stories being told within her songs, and her voice wow, completes and speaks to my soul. I feel her, really see her and just get her personality and same time I also feel I can relate to her in a kindred kind of way. I have the utmost RESPECT for her. She's not just another singer, Sia is the REAL deal, in everything she sings, writes, performs and in everything she does. She is a Legend, a Super Genius with an AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL heart, soul and personality. She is THE BEST.
she covers her face to show that appearance doesn’t effect the voice. :)) it is also because of her past with substance abuse. when she wrote “breathe me” she was going through a really rough patch in her life. he partner had passed away, she also had the substance abuse on top of that. so she decided to be less recognizable.
It has been reported that she did it after becoming somewhat uncomfortable with her massive success after years of more humble success, and wanted to retain a bit of her privacy, so she made it harder to figure out exactly who she was. She also stated that she didn't want to be picked apart constantly, which goes hand in hand with what you said.
I find this strange, but why the saddest song of every artist is the one that makes us listen their music? These are the songs that made me fall in love with these artists. Lorde (Liability), Sia (Elastic Heart), Faouzia (My Heart's Grave), Coldplay (Viva la Vida). Imagine Dragons (Demons) and the list continue to grow.... Probably is because we connect through the message of those songs and we feel identified
Sia is so underrated, she has the most powerful voice I've ever listened to, but she hasn't as much followers as she'd deserve because she doesn't show her body...
That’s actually why she doesn’t. She said she wants her vocals focused on and not her appearance. But she makes a boatload of money writing for other artists and sings so amazingly. If I could hide myself and do that, I would, haha.
Did you just call her underrated? She’s one of the most recognized singers in the industry. She has music videos with billions of views. It’s not like she isn’t well known
I know you've gotten loads of comments about her hiding her face, but I think it's more nuanced than many have said. Yes, she's said a big part is wanting to be able to go to the store and not be recognized, and for people to focus on her voice, not her. But, she's also said about how before, she was a major addict and an absolute mess and was someone that she now no longer recognizes. Part of her wanted to leave that person/performer behind. But not only that, she said she used to perform while intoxicated and isn't that singer anymore anyway. So, kind of like a, "Sure, you can Google my face, but you won't find ME in those pictures". Moreover (and this is more of what she's alluded to but I'm unsure if she ever said it in plain English), I believe it actually *does* have to do with an element of performance anxiety. ...anxieties that she _used_ to be able to anesthetize with drugs and alcohol, but now has to face head on, sober and clear. And, if you ask me (now this is actual speculation, not from her), part of me even believes that's why her vowels have gotten so much tighter and closed since the older performances. Those nerves and the anxious energy creeping in; no longer as loose and relaxed from alcohol, her mouth not falling open as far and uncontrolled. The current way suits her style wonderfully, so it's hardly a negative, but I do feel it lends credence to her still having unmanaged stage fright and now trying to navigate live performances sober. Additionally, while I know she's an interpretive artist and has always had elements of quirk on stage, I also believe that's why she's gone much harder on the "weird factor" in dance/costuming/props. ...bc you pay more attn to Maddie/the other heads/etc and forget to ever even pay attention to her. Which, could help her convince herself "Hey, I'm just in the studio, no one can see me", instead of the stripped back, bare and vulnerable Sia she used to be when using drugs and didn't care. (It's also why I don't believe it's just, "I want people to concentrate on my craft, not me. Bc the dances, etc distract you from not only her standing there, but even her voice. You're too busy trying to figure out what's happening on stage and can forget she's even singing for a second. It seems that's more the intent right now, until she gets more comfortable sober.) Much to consider. Hope that helps!
Not really sure why you'd bother to tack on an aside then if you weren't even gonna bother reading what was already covered, but hey, to each their own. Comment sections never make any damn sense.
It was because the press was calling her ugly so she decided to hide her face after that to exist unnoticed. No need to drag out your comment with a psychoanalysis on her mental state worth 4 paragraphs long..
Sia’s voice ALWAYS gives me goosebumps. I have a theory about her voice being so huge....I think she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (I have it and I saw lots of signs of it in her, especially the way she can curl her fingers backwards) so her vocals cords which has the abnormal collagen (we don’t make it normally) is much more stretchy than that of someone without a connective tissue disorder.
I'm pretty sure she started covering her face because she wanted people to focus more on the music/singing and not so much the person behind the music/singing
Partially. She did it after going through rehab for addiction. Also because she was diagnosed with Graves' Disease, which changes the facial structure, such as bulging eyes and larger, drooping in the cheek muscles. I believe she may have had a reconstructive surgery done recently to reduce the effects. The issue with that, however, is that those surgeries could worsen future facial changes. Anyway, my point is that she has started showing her face more recently, so that's just my thoughts on it. As someone with the disease, I find it great she's showing herself again. It gives a lot of us who do have it more confidence. Hope that helped in some way, maybe gave you a lesson on something strange for the day, lol. 😊
I agree that her vowels are more open in older videos, its something i noticed when i really started listening to her. The complaint ive always heard is that no one can understand her, ive always felt its almost like shes singing through clenched teeth, almost through all her pain and struggles, shes still singing.
She was a drug addict for a long time. I think that corrupted her voice a bit. If you listen to her older songs like "little black sandals", "soon we'll be found", "day too soon" etc you can see the voice is smoother and she's using more open vowels. Anyways I love her voice both ways. So soulful and full of passion. That's what makes it unique.
@@pragyamanral I think she modulates her voice that way because she just wanted to add emphasis to her songs, because there are moments when she shouts clear tones without any vibration or crack.
Diamonds it's a song written by her , even tho rihanna sings it. Sia tho sings it as it's supposed to sound. Hands down the best voice in pop music . And the best live performancer
Eleazar Moraru have to agree with her having one of the best voices in pop 😊 but she definitely isnt the best performer :P performance contains stage presence, dancing and etc! She does none of that :P Still one of the greats though along with bey, ariana, tinashe (maybe demi?) and tori kelly(vocally)
mpampis mpampoglou no offense but uave you seen any of her live performances? I'm not talking about dancing or stage tracks , i'm only refering to her signing live. She never used a playback , nor a live autotune. Doesn't really make any false notes , and hits every single high note properly. All of these make her the best live performer i've at least heard in pop music.
No she told in some interview that she does that (covering her face now) to avoid people recognizing her in the street so she could have a more "norma" life. Love ur videos ma dude! keep up with the reactions ;)
anyone else notice that she is signing at 2:18? that so cool to me, I've never seen a famous singer sing and sign (not saying its never been done, just saying I haven't seen it)
Hope Arrazola her signing is pretty accurate, just very exaggerated, (the way that songs are usually signed because of the exaggeration of words). and i’m not trying to come at you, just explain, i’m so glad that you are learning sign language!
Hope Arrazola well if you don’t know if you’re right then why correct someone with possibly inaccurate information? Especially with confidence? Don’t let your mouth move faster than your mind. She was doing signs, her signs are just singing, like her.
Her voice is the best in the world. I literally cannot think of anyone that comes close that is still alive today. The little cracks in her voice give me chills
I think Sia definitely has the capability to sing in a more healthy way or technically perfect way but chooses not to. I think she's a very capable vocalist to understand all these things and still take those risks to make her voice more interesting to listen to. But I can see why some vocal teachers would try to have students avoid singing this way it makes sense
Louise Goldsmith i think suck is the wrong word here. She may just like the way she sings things, like the other comment said she has her own style, which is more interesting.
I have an issue with this idea that that part of her singing is some sort of imperfection. The amount of work that would have to go in to attaining the skill to pull the voice cracks, and the pushed sound off consistently without losing control of the performance is incredible. It's obviously very deliberate
Ive been a musician for 17 years, and there are very few sounds that makes the hair on my arms stand up, but Sia, singing live, always does. She is Phenomenal.
I just got yelled at recently by my piano teacher for not having an open mouth while singing!!! Thats why i heart you ! Wow if Sia has stage fright then I have every excuse to have it too 😁
what the actual fuck nigga She's actually Quite good live, she's had more good than bad. She even did a special on Ellen with her song "unconditionally" Acoustic.
We've known about this sweetheart in Australia since she started. We've always known her face, and we love her for it. Baby can always come home when the world gets too much.
I think a lot of vocal coaches get healthy voices confused. The vocal chord is has a lot of strength and durability. You can push it a little without it being unhealthy. It gives it character rather than sounding like everyone else
Right? I just wanna link those coaches to a world beatbox battle here on youtube and see what they say to guys who talk like you and me, but can mash their vocal chords together and grind it unevenly enough to create a sub bass.
I know more than one singer who's been told by vocal coaches that if (s)he continued singing "like that" (i.e. the way (s)he does), (s)he wouldn't be singing for very long - and most of them are still around decades later...
ThuggyMacho your voice can take a little pushing. But pushing your larynx down or pulling it up to purposefully strain isn't healthy or good. Also everyone's vocal chords are different, some are strong and some are weak.
Keep in mind that vocal critics never say these singers with imperfect technique are bad or their overall talent is lacking . In fact a lot of these pedagogist love Xtina, Sia, Demi, Jennifer Hudson even with their flaws.
Sia hides her face for various reasons. She was diagnosed with anxiety, and then Grave's Diseases which has affected her physical and mental health, she also doesnt want the media to comment on her physical appearance so she hides her face.
A woman on the internet I agree I just want to add that she stated in some interviews that the wigs help her not to be distracted by the audience, in one of them she said that she'll even start to wonder how the lives of people sitting in the audience look like and she might forgets to sing 😂 Additionally she does get quite nervous and takes beta blockers etc
I've read that she hides her face because one day her friend told her she has cancer and at that moments excited fans came to her and she realized that she wants more privet life... but she has stage fright too tho.
Hands down the most talented singer we’ve watched from an artistic perspective, in my opinion. I haven’t seen anything that come close to rivalling the extent of the power, intricacy and emotion in her unedited performances. Genius
I saw an interview Sia did and she said she hides her face during performances so she can walk around casually without being noticed and keep some privacy to her everyday life.
Sandy Silber yeah cuz before she got a lot of hate, but then she became a new person as Sia. At first no one knew who she was and that was her image. She doesn’t have stagefear but it’s just a part of her image.
SIA has the most distinctive voice. Her vocals make me happy I have ears. Her voice were once jazzy and now more pop, both being capable of amazing runs and highs. Sia started wearing the wigs and performing with back to the audience with 1000 Forms of FeR album. She did not wish to be recognised and become famous. Performing had always made her anxious anyway and since she had decided to give up the grog and drugs, I imagine she felt even more vulnerable. Still avoids the paps, but more relaxed. No more touring for her I imagine which is very sad but if it keeps her happier, fair enough I say. Also check out Jessie J's new music after 4 years R.O.S.E. What a voice!!
Wow Sia was signing during her performance in which her hands were painted. That's so unique for a singer to do themselves, I bet the Deaf Community appreciated her hard work!
It’s possible that the thing with her jaw is actually related to her EDS as it impacts the joints including the jaw. With EDS you even have to be careful from yawning not to dislocate your jaw it can be that severe. I have EDS and my jaw subluxes and cracks when I yawn.
eric barzelogna beyonce is a WAYYY better singer than adele do you not know about vocal pedagogy? Adele is good but beyonce sia and jessie j are on other levels
In an interview she said she likes not being recognized in public, and that she’s even walked around in Target with herself playing on the radio and nobody knew who she was. I love her voice!! I love that rasp it gets like when someone’s fingers slide quickly down a guitar string. 💞
Every live song she does is so good, and her older albums really need to be listened to by anyone that likes her newer stuff, also, these are 2 of my favourite live performances by her =] th-cam.com/video/ISqV3pEsTWw/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/upMuEJotl5w/w-d-xo.html
That's ok :) and yh that is a good one, what I like about her on Graham Norton is how wowed the other guests are, I think she blows everyone away. Have you seen her when she was in a girl group called Zero 7? th-cam.com/video/uin5LDFr1SE/w-d-xo.html
I always cry while listening to her, her voice is THE MOST powerful I've ever heard, I had an honour to see her live 2 years ago and it was *THE BEST DAY OF MY LIFE* 🔥🔥😍
Erin she actually explained during a live performance that she gets nervous coz of the huge crowds in her live shows. Behind the wig she can forget about them abd just sing her heart out. So it's both. The wig keeps her privacy intact off stage abd helps her on stage too.
Have you ever done a reaction video to Christina Grimmie? She was AMAZING. I’m sure you know she’s passed, but her talent was off the charts and your opinion would be interesting!
@@barrymagahis1586 Christina Grimmie's mom passed away a couple months ago from cancer. She was affectionately known as "Mama Grimmie" to Christina's fans.
I don’t know why but I’m so in love with this guy ... somehow he’s so attractive damm..🙃💞and his critics are so positive and I could watch his videos all day hehe Edit: you made my night ♥️ cutie
she mentioned in the carpool that she noticed how today’s pop music lacks mystery, and wanted to personify that. sia’s music is amazing and her appearance is just an additional element that stands out. the way she chooses to look may just be a self reminder of her difficult past.
I think her experience and age really helps her to perform the way she does, I'm glad sia had time to be moderately known and able to experiment with her different styles before complete fame hit.
@Alfs Awful a lot of people know what she looks like, but they're still a minority among the people who don't. And even the ones who've seen her face don't see it everywhere, in every music video. So she can go out to a Walmart and barely anyone will recognize her.
She covers her face in her newer songs because she wants the focus to be on the music, not her look. Her most recent albums are all about the vapid nature of fame and her attempt to avoid the limelight but still create music after her long hiatus from writing music after it all got too real for her in the late 00s
Sis is one of them artist who are very unquestionably unique for there singing, writing and appearance and I’m not mad about it at all she holds herself well and stands for what she believes in.
Btw sia wears her hair like that because she said she wants to live a normal life, she started to get popular and she started getting recognized when she went in public and she didn’t like it. Also i love your channel so much and you’re so cute omll
I heard her say in a radio interview that the more "famous" she became she didn't want to lose herself so she didn't really want people to recognize her so easily. I just love her voice so much. Like I listen to her stuff be k from her Zero7 days!!!!!!
Sia suffered with Graves’ disease for a short period during a time when she was touring for one of her earlier recordings. This affects the vocal chords, and could cause great harm to the vocal abilities, and it is likely that she changed her open mouth singing style to the more closed mouth style in an effort to keep from straining and aggravating her vocal chords. I met her when she toured in 2007 and she’s an absolutely delightful and undeniably talented person. During that show, she mentioned that she was thinking of recording a pop album and sang a song called “the codependent” which was well received. However, being that I discovered her music in 2006, I’d say her earlier music, particularly from “colour the small one” is my favorite, although she was indeed dealing with addiction during the writing and recording of that album. I truly enjoy her newer songs, but definitely prefer the older songs. They feel more authentically poignant, and there’s something beautiful about the way she expressed what was happening within herself at that time. Many of her pop songs are powerfully liberating and also speak to her transformation. I love her dearly and always look forward to hearing what she comes up with.
6:53 I love those voice cracks and how she sings that standing so still omg it looks so effortless! Also I think she covers her face because she doesn't want to be 'famous' which I think is cool like she's doing it solely for the music
1971browneyes she had a drug addiction that came with her new found fame. She chose to take the pressure off by hiding her face so she could use it to separate herself from the fame
Every video including Sia singing Diamonds: "She wrote it?" "Rhianna sang it better" "She wrote it in x minutes" followed by someone correcting it to 14 Someone pointing out that Sia wrote it, to try to make themselves look clever and as if they're the only person who knew that
Her voice is imperfectly perfect, I love it so much
Well said. It's the same reason people old enough to have seen Gene Tierney in person during her prime say she was the most beautiful woman to ever work in Hollywood. She had a distinct overbite (imperfection).

Sia is so underrated, she has the most powerful voice I've ever listened to, but she hasn't as much followers as she'd deserve because she doesn't show her body...
Giulia Tranzillo preach
That’s actually why she doesn’t. She said she wants her vocals focused on and not her appearance. But she makes a boatload of money writing for other artists and sings so amazingly. If I could hide myself and do that, I would, haha.
Giulia Tranzillo sooo trueeee
Giulia Tranzillo it’s sad but true!!!
Did you just call her underrated? She’s one of the most recognized singers in the industry. She has music videos with billions of views. It’s not like she isn’t well known
I know you've gotten loads of comments about her hiding her face, but I think it's more nuanced than many have said. Yes, she's said a big part is wanting to be able to go to the store and not be recognized, and for people to focus on her voice, not her. But, she's also said about how before, she was a major addict and an absolute mess and was someone that she now no longer recognizes. Part of her wanted to leave that person/performer behind. But not only that, she said she used to perform while intoxicated and isn't that singer anymore anyway. So, kind of like a, "Sure, you can Google my face, but you won't find ME in those pictures".
Moreover (and this is more of what she's alluded to but I'm unsure if she ever said it in plain English), I believe it actually *does* have to do with an element of performance anxiety. ...anxieties that she _used_ to be able to anesthetize with drugs and alcohol, but now has to face head on, sober and clear. And, if you ask me (now this is actual speculation, not from her), part of me even believes that's why her vowels have gotten so much tighter and closed since the older performances. Those nerves and the anxious energy creeping in; no longer as loose and relaxed from alcohol, her mouth not falling open as far and uncontrolled. The current way suits her style wonderfully, so it's hardly a negative, but I do feel it lends credence to her still having unmanaged stage fright and now trying to navigate live performances sober. Additionally, while I know she's an interpretive artist and has always had elements of quirk on stage, I also believe that's why she's gone much harder on the "weird factor" in dance/costuming/props. ...bc you pay more attn to Maddie/the other heads/etc and forget to ever even pay attention to her. Which, could help her convince herself "Hey, I'm just in the studio, no one can see me", instead of the stripped back, bare and vulnerable Sia she used to be when using drugs and didn't care. (It's also why I don't believe it's just, "I want people to concentrate on my craft, not me. Bc the dances, etc distract you from not only her standing there, but even her voice. You're too busy trying to figure out what's happening on stage and can forget she's even singing for a second. It seems that's more the intent right now, until she gets more comfortable sober.)
Much to consider. Hope that helps!
Kaalyn - OPG wasn’t it also because she was insecure with herself? I didn’t read all of ur comment because I don’t have time so yeah lmao
Not really sure why you'd bother to tack on an aside then if you weren't even gonna bother reading what was already covered, but hey, to each their own. Comment sections never make any damn sense.
Amelia Lonely as if anyone gives a fuck whether u are busy or not haha gtfo
This is amazing! I agree with you! 👍🏻
It was because the press was calling her ugly so she decided to hide her face after that to exist unnoticed. No need to drag out your comment with a psychoanalysis on her mental state worth 4 paragraphs long..
Whoever doesn't like Sia is just wrong. Her voice being so imperfect but so good at the same time is what gives her the unique edge that only she has.
people have preferences
@@blammmed their preferences can fuck all the way off, not pass go, and go straight to jail. When an empress is singing, you WILL kneel.
Preferebces are not being wrong
Don't say that! I agree her voice is *amazing* but you can find a voice technically great but don't like to listen to it. It's called opinion!
@@zhenji3389 what a god damn idiot
Her vibrato is one of the most unique I've heard. No one sounds like her and she sounds like no one.
Ooo interesting seeing her perform diamonds, as I believe she actually wrote it. Rhianna did a good job of it too, but I prefer Sia.
Yup sia wrote it and sings it beautifully...you can tell it was meant for her. Have you seen her sing it on carpool karaoke?
She wrote it in like 20 minutes 😫😂😱
Beccabokka its 15.. ( without beat.. ) just lyrics and vocals
@@achlysblaque8096 45 to completely finish
Rihanna is an auto tune product
Sia’s voice ALWAYS gives me goosebumps. I have a theory about her voice being so huge....I think she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (I have it and I saw lots of signs of it in her, especially the way she can curl her fingers backwards) so her vocals cords which has the abnormal collagen (we don’t make it normally) is much more stretchy than that of someone without a connective tissue disorder.
i have eds too! wow I did not know that
Sia’s fingers are double jointed, which gives her the ability to curl them backwards a lot further than your average person
I have eds too. I know what you mean when it comes to Sia
blumountaindew there's no such thing as double jointed. Just hyper flexibility.
DlchMcV I also have eds and I see what you mean but not sure that's true.
I'm pretty sure she started covering her face because she wanted people to focus more on the music/singing and not so much the person behind the music/singing
Partially. She did it after going through rehab for addiction. Also because she was diagnosed with Graves' Disease, which changes the facial structure, such as bulging eyes and larger, drooping in the cheek muscles. I believe she may have had a reconstructive surgery done recently to reduce the effects. The issue with that, however, is that those surgeries could worsen future facial changes. Anyway, my point is that she has started showing her face more recently, so that's just my thoughts on it. As someone with the disease, I find it great she's showing herself again. It gives a lot of us who do have it more confidence. Hope that helped in some way, maybe gave you a lesson on something strange for the day, lol. 😊
I agree that her vowels are more open in older videos, its something i noticed when i really started listening to her. The complaint ive always heard is that no one can understand her, ive always felt its almost like shes singing through clenched teeth, almost through all her pain and struggles, shes still singing.
She was a drug addict for a long time. I think that corrupted her voice a bit. If you listen to her older songs like "little black sandals", "soon we'll be found", "day too soon" etc you can see the voice is smoother and she's using more open vowels.
Anyways I love her voice both ways. So soulful and full of passion. That's what makes it unique.
@@pragyamanral I think she modulates her voice that way because she just wanted to add emphasis to her songs, because there are moments when she shouts clear tones without any vibration or crack.
It's almost a style of singing, I suppose, the way she merges her words in her own unique singing voice.
Diamonds it's a song written by her , even tho rihanna sings it. Sia tho sings it as it's supposed to sound. Hands down the best voice in pop music . And the best live performancer
Eleazar Moraru have to agree with her having one of the best voices in pop 😊 but she definitely isnt the best performer :P performance contains stage presence, dancing and etc! She does none of that :P Still one of the greats though along with bey, ariana, tinashe (maybe demi?) and tori kelly(vocally)
mpampis mpampoglou no offense but uave you seen any of her live performances? I'm not talking about dancing or stage tracks , i'm only refering to her signing live. She never used a playback , nor a live autotune. Doesn't really make any false notes , and hits every single high note properly. All of these make her the best live performer i've at least heard in pop music.
Eleazar Moraru Beyoncé exists
David Cuellar yes she does. And so does Madonna and some other really good singers. I still prefer Sia's voice
David Cuellar Beyonce ain't shit compared to Sia.
Sia is 42 right now, if anyone was asking! 42 but her voice is 100!!

"Sia is one of those Indie girl voices except she can actually sing" a quote for the ages
pearch
Looooooool AKA: Lana Del Rey
She strains. She’ll have problems very soon
she's 40, she has been this industry for years, and yet still sing effortless ♥
To be fair, I love all those Indie sounding albums she did back before 2011 :) Listened to every damn one of them
The most underrated singer ever. She's deserved better
She covers her face because she doesn't want to be recognized and wants to live a more normal life under the radar. She said that in an interview.
Sia is one of the best female vocalist of our generation. I just love her.
anyone else notice that she is signing at 2:18? that so cool to me, I've never seen a famous singer sing and sign
(not saying its never been done, just saying I haven't seen it)
She isn't signing, at least most of the motions she is doing with her hands are made up, and it's probably the way she sings that song.
I'm learning to sign, so if I'm wrong don't come at me.
Hope Arrazola its accurate sweetie u might need a new sign language coach
Hope Arrazola her signing is pretty accurate, just very exaggerated, (the way that songs are usually signed because of the exaggeration of words). and i’m not trying to come at you, just explain, i’m so glad that you are learning sign language!
Hope Arrazola well if you don’t know if you’re right then why correct someone with possibly inaccurate information? Especially with confidence? Don’t let your mouth move faster than your mind. She was doing signs, her signs are just singing, like her.
Her voice is the best in the world. I literally cannot think of anyone that comes close that is still alive today. The little cracks in her voice give me chills
Sia sings fierce.
I think Sia definitely has the capability to sing in a more healthy way or technically perfect way but chooses not to. I think she's a very capable vocalist to understand all these things and still take those risks to make her voice more interesting to listen to. But I can see why some vocal teachers would try to have students avoid singing this way it makes sense
Catz1a I think maybe she’s stuck in her ways and doesn’t want to change it I mean her voice sells records “why fix something that isn’t broken”
Erm, it's called "style..?"
Louise Goldsmith i think suck is the wrong word here. She may just like the way she sings things, like the other comment said she has her own style, which is more interesting.
Absolutly agree on that. Beauty is not in perfection. It lies in the space you leave to your imperfection.
I have an issue with this idea that that part of her singing is some sort of imperfection. The amount of work that would have to go in to attaining the skill to pull the voice cracks, and the pushed sound off consistently without losing control of the performance is incredible. It's obviously very deliberate
Ive been a musician for 17 years, and there are very few sounds that makes the hair on my arms stand up, but Sia, singing live, always does. She is Phenomenal.
She is beyond any critique, any analysis. She is Titanium. I love her.
Alex G 🇸🇨
Also, Sia is a refreshingly unique voice in pop, definitely a fan
I just got yelled at recently by my piano teacher for not having an open mouth while singing!!! Thats why i heart you !
Wow if Sia has stage fright then I have every excuse to have it too 😁

I think a lot of vocal coaches get healthy voices confused. The vocal chord is has a lot of strength and durability. You can push it a little without it being unhealthy. It gives it character rather than sounding like everyone else
ThuggyMacho I agree. When a singer pushes even a little people are like “ SCREECH * THROWS VOCAL FACTS*”
Right? I just wanna link those coaches to a world beatbox battle here on youtube and see what they say to guys who talk like you and me, but can mash their vocal chords together and grind it unevenly enough to create a sub bass.
I know more than one singer who's been told by vocal coaches that if (s)he continued singing "like that" (i.e. the way (s)he does), (s)he wouldn't be singing for very long - and most of them are still around decades later...
ThuggyMacho your voice can take a little pushing. But pushing your larynx down or pulling it up to purposefully strain isn't healthy or good. Also everyone's vocal chords are different, some are strong and some are weak.
Keep in mind that vocal critics never say these singers with imperfect technique are bad or their overall talent is lacking . In fact a lot of these pedagogist love Xtina, Sia, Demi, Jennifer Hudson even with their flaws.
Can you react to Aurora? I'd love to hear what you think of her voice.
Omg yes plz
Sia hides her face for various reasons. She was diagnosed with anxiety, and then Grave's Diseases which has affected her physical and mental health, she also doesnt want the media to comment on her physical appearance so she hides her face.
A woman on the internet I agree I just want to add that she stated in some interviews that the wigs help her not to be distracted by the audience, in one of them she said that she'll even start to wonder how the lives of people sitting in the audience look like and she might forgets to sing 😂
Additionally she does get quite nervous and takes beta blockers etc
she showed her face for a sesame street!!
I've read that she hides her face because one day her friend told her she has cancer and at that moments excited fans came to her and she realized that she wants more privet life... but she has stage fright too tho.
A woman on the internet exactly
Whats graves diseases
So proud that she's Aussie as well woohoo
Fucken same
Hands down the most talented singer we’ve watched from an artistic perspective, in my opinion. I haven’t seen anything that come close to rivalling the extent of the power, intricacy and emotion in her unedited performances. Genius
tristan in other videos: " gimme those voice cracks!"
sia: hold my bangs
I saw an interview Sia did and she said she hides her face during performances so she can walk around casually without being noticed and keep some privacy to her everyday life.
Sandy Silber yeah cuz before she got a lot of hate, but then she became a new person as Sia. At first no one knew who she was and that was her image. She doesn’t have stagefear but it’s just a part of her image.
SIA has the most distinctive voice. Her vocals make me happy I have ears. Her voice were once jazzy and now more pop, both being capable of amazing runs and highs.
Sia started wearing the wigs and performing with back to the audience with 1000 Forms of FeR album.
She did not wish to be recognised and become famous. Performing had always made her anxious anyway and since she had decided to give up the grog and drugs, I imagine she felt even more vulnerable. Still avoids the paps, but more relaxed. No more touring for her I imagine which is very sad but if it keeps her happier, fair enough I say.
Also check out Jessie J's new music after 4 years R.O.S.E. What a voice!!
Wow Sia was signing during her performance in which her hands were painted. That's so unique for a singer to do themselves, I bet the Deaf Community appreciated her hard work!
I may be wrong, but I think her boyfriend at the time was deaf and he died in a car crash or something ://
Whitney Erin not at that time, but when she was 17-21.
It’s possible that the thing with her jaw is actually related to her EDS as it impacts the joints including the jaw. With EDS you even have to be careful from yawning not to dislocate your jaw it can be that severe. I have EDS and my jaw subluxes and cracks when I yawn.
That happens to me sometimes,it even get painful/tense sometimes, should I be worried?
Hands down best female vocalist ever

Paige Odell she sadly also struggle with narcotics which almost led to suicide😢
We can "poor her" all the day long, or we can help such people. Just telling. I did for many years.
she mentioned in the carpool that she noticed how today’s pop music lacks mystery, and wanted to personify that.
sia’s music is amazing and her appearance is just an additional element that stands out.
the way she chooses to look may just be a self reminder of her difficult past.

the wig is actually just for privacy. She wants her private life to be separate from “SIA”. Hope that answers your questions!!!
@Alfs Awful a lot of people know what she looks like, but they're still a minority among the people who don't. And even the ones who've seen her face don't see it everywhere, in every music video. So she can go out to a Walmart and barely anyone will recognize her.

She covers her face in her newer songs because she wants the focus to be on the music, not her look. Her most recent albums are all about the vapid nature of fame and her attempt to avoid the limelight but still create music after her long hiatus from writing music after it all got too real for her in the late 00s
Sia's way of performing makes her reach my soul. That's what matters to me.

I honestly don't really care a lot about vocal techniques but you make it so interesting! I just love your personality!
Sia suffered with Graves’ disease for a short period during a time when she was touring for one of her earlier recordings. This affects the vocal chords, and could cause great harm to the vocal abilities, and it is likely that she changed her open mouth singing style to the more closed mouth style in an effort to keep from straining and aggravating her vocal chords. I met her when she toured in 2007 and she’s an absolutely delightful and undeniably talented person. During that show, she mentioned that she was thinking of recording a pop album and sang a song called “the codependent” which was well received. However, being that I discovered her music in 2006, I’d say her earlier music, particularly from “colour the small one” is my favorite, although she was indeed dealing with addiction during the writing and recording of that album. I truly enjoy her newer songs, but definitely prefer the older songs. They feel more authentically poignant, and there’s something beautiful about the way she expressed what was happening within herself at that time. Many of her pop songs are powerfully liberating and also speak to her transformation. I love her dearly and always look forward to hearing what she comes up with.
6:53 I love those voice cracks and how she sings that standing so still omg it looks so effortless! Also I think she covers her face because she doesn't want to be 'famous' which I think is cool like she's doing it solely for the music
She’s an incredible singer, what a range! And she makes it seem so effortless.
Sia could sing the phone book and I’d slap the replay button
She covers her face because she wants to be known for her talent, not what she looks like.
She looks better with her face covered
1971browneyes she had a drug addiction that came with her new found fame. She chose to take the pressure off by hiding her face so she could use it to separate herself from the fame
1971browneyes is this true
Yet she has created an iconic look for herself. I love Sia~
Terry Sproat sia is beautiful actually
Every video including Sia singing Diamonds:
"She wrote it?"
"Rhianna sang it better"
"She wrote it in x minutes" followed by someone correcting it to 14
Someone pointing out that Sia wrote it, to try to make themselves look clever and as if they're the only person who knew that
Neil so she actually wrote it? That's pretty cool, love her so much and love diamonds
IKR, and she sings as good as Rihanna does in diamonds, I can’t pick.
