I don't understand why people are getting all mad at artists who sing and get popular for Sia's music. That's what she chose to do with it, and those artists are doing nothing wrong by singing her songs. It happens all the time and is not "stealing," as so many ignorant people are calling it.
Exactly, this is nothing new. Celine and Whitney are legends who sang songs written by someone else, for example, and their talent is undeniable. No one should feel sorry, thinking people are "taking" Sia's songs. She's doing what she loves, while getting paid a lot to do it.
Caramel Spice She got less than a couple hundred thousand dollars for the some "Diamonds" when Rihanna made millions. So, no, she would of made a lot more if she kept the song for herself. Sia is underrated. Rihanna is overrated. Also, the reason are a lot of people are getting mad is because Rihanna did the song the exact way Sia did in the demo, it shows she doesn't do her own thing and takes it from other artists. Rihanna basically did a extact cover of Sia's demo, but she made millions while Sia got less than a 5% cut.
Chris Ice That's true, but it was her choice, and I doubt all she ever got was "a couple hundred thousand." She is a singer/songwriter who has made it known that she does not want to be in the limelight like other singers. She enjoys privacy. She has the power over her songs. It's not always about money. People like Diane Warren, for example, have enjoyed writing songs for the joy of it, knowing they won't get the amount of fame or money that the singer will.
She also wrote Flashlight, love me back to life, you lost me, blank page, few more xtina aguilera's songs, adam levine's song, kelly clarkson's, deja vu, etc. she is a queen if music
+Sheroo omg,i write a song 1 year and its not so good as titanium,sia,just write titanium just 14 minutes and that song is legend. sia is a fucking genius.
Am I the only one that's glad that Rihanna rejected Sia's song "Cheap Thrills"? I think it sounds AMAZING how it is. I wouldn't like it as much if Rihanna sang it. I think Sia should just sing all of the songs she writes since she has such a beautiful and unique voice. I know I'd defiantly enjoy them all.
Last year for my English final project we had to do a report on a singer who wrote their own songs. I did Sia because I really love her songs so much and I love her. The girl who went before me did a presentation about Beyoncé, and talked a lot about the meaning of Pretty Hurts and why Beyoncé wrote it. It was really awkward when I went up next and had to tell the whole class that Sia actually wrote Pretty Hurts. That girl was pretty embarrassed and got points off for not doing enough research.
To be fair to the other girl, Beyonce exploits a legality which means she can claim songwriting credits on songs that she has had no imput on. So she might not have known.
+Chameleonslove She didn't give her tips. Sia was actually shocked when she heard Rihanna's version because it sounded so much like the demo. Sia was not a part of the recording process at all.
1. Diamonds - Rihanna 2. Cannonball - Lea Michele 3. Let Me Love You - Neyo 4. Perfume - Britney Spears 5. Radioactive - Rita Ora 6. We Are One - Pitbull, J-Lo 7. Pretty Hurts - Beyoncé
I thin that Sia deserves way more credit than she gets. She has written hit after hit while others get the money and credit for it. She deserves more credit than Beyonce, Rihanna, and Britney. I know all the bandwagoners are going to hate but BEYONCE IS NOT A GREAT AS EVERYONE MAKES HER OUT TO BE. She doesnt write her own songs and people like her cuz everyone else does. She is no "queen", shes a singer
Actually the money IS in writing the songs, not performing them. It's the reason why Dolly Parton got millions of $$$ for Whitney Houston's version of "I Will Always Love You." It's also the reason why big stars will change a couple of words or a single line in a song, and get co-writing credits (and i'm looking directly at you Madonna and Beyonce). They're not stupid -- they know where the bucks come from.
Not sure she wants the adulation and fame. Unless she changed her mind but when she did a carpool show with James Corden she said that fame can be a bit destabilizing.
jose Hernandez it's funny how you act like you don't care, when you do. I'm not gonna call the police, I'm just letting you know. Threats, especially when over the Internet, are dangerous. Since I don't know you, saying any type of threat is enough to have you arrested. (If I feel that my life may be endangered from your comment).
What people fail to understand is that you have great performers like Beyoncé and writing may not be their best thing. Then you have great song writers like Sia but they can't perform. But when they come together they make something amazing and they both get paid. It's very rare that you get an artist like Prince who can sing, play almost every instrument, and can perform exceptionally well.
taylor HOLLA I'm not saying she can't sing live. But she doesn't even show her face. Who would want to pay for a Sia concert and she's turned around or laying on her stomach the whole time? To be a great performer you have to be able to give a show to make people want to watch you like Beyonce. There are lots of great singers out there but they're boring to watch like Jennifer Hudson.
Jasmine Jones If that was the case Whitney Houston and Celine Dion wouldn't have made a dime...neither one of them "gives a show". Their voices were enough.
Troop Leader You don't have to know how to dance or do magic tricks to perform. Some people are just boring. For example Jennifer Hudson can sing but she can't perform. Fantasia on the other hand can perform exceptionally well. And she doesn't dance but she pulls you in and make you want to watch her. Watch her Pattie Labelle tribute to see what I'm talking about.
Wow. "Pretty Hurts"..... I can totally see it coming from Sia. However, I'm shocked that I didn't know this song was written by Sia. That is such a powerful song. I'd love to hear the writer sing it herself.
Somehow I feel sorry for Sia not keeping these songs for herself T_T ... but they're somehow different from what she keeps for herself ... so OK ... I guess ...
Actually, she really wants the people she writes songs for to take her music. She says that when she writes her songs, the song "speaks" to her and "tells" her who she should give the song to(not in a way that makes her crazy, though)
+RuykJoe I have read this story somewhere, where it said it was her personal stage to "go off stage" as such, passion and love for music still made her produce these tracks, and now she pretty much "reclaims her rights" to be singing on stage, saying what she has to say now. (don't know if that is true, I know she sang her material prior to the 1000 forms of fear [I only know her for and because of that album])
Sia can write profitable pop songs, but it is her solo stuff where the genius can be shown. These pop songs are more written for money than art. When Sia writes artistically, you know it!
Laleen Jonas I think she busts out a song in a matter of 1-2 hours, sends it off, gets a paycheck. When the song ends up being really personal or really special, she keeps it and puts it on her album with other songs she writes specifically for her. That is just my guess though. She has this unique ability to have good yet catchy songs pour out of her.
Joseph Coiro What a dumb statement, you really showed how you have no idea what you are talking about. Her 7 albums are filled with brilliant songwriting, great lyrics and some of the greatest vocals ever! She is one of the best female singers EVER. Not only is she not ugly, but even if she was, what idiot likes music because of how they look.
I love the fact she brought up Death By chocolate🍫, it is one of my favourite songs and is also part of my favourite album "Some People Have Real Problems"
***** Oh thank goodness Katy Perry turned it down. Not that I don't like her or anything, it's just that Sia's voice - like you said - is absolutely perfect for the song.
***** I know exactly what you mean. In this era where artists just churn out one pop record after another for money, Sia's voice actually makes me feel something. I honestly can't imagine anyone else being able to sing this song as well as Sia - not Beyoncé and certainly not Katy Perry. The one person who might (emphasis on might) be able to sing it well - or at least better than anyone who tries to cover the song - is Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy. But yeah, you're absolutely right. 'A good voice' is certainly not enough for a track like 'Elastic Heart'. Sia has it all - the voice and the heart.
That's why there's backlash you yourself don't know the World Cup was held in 12 different cities of brazil, not only Rio. I've never heard of a World Cup happening in just one city.
I'm not sure why the world cup is so popular, I guess its mostly poor brown countries. If I had the choice to slowly die of AIDS or kick a ball, I think I'd kick the ball..
and also Dressed in black Breathe me I'm in here Beautiful calm driving One candle Taken for granted She wolf Loved me back to live for Celine Dion Strange birds for Birdy Breathe and Flashlight for Jessie J You lost me, I am, All I need for Christina Aguilera ... ... ... Sia is brilliant)))))
"Makes us want to swing from chandeliers!" Yes, that is the message of the song. Totally. What a party anthem that is. Such a shame that most people really don't seem to get anything she is singing about.
Beyonce is always taking credit on songs she has no input in. Then gets a Grammy for forcing her name into the credits. What a professional con artist lol.
Um that is what "Artist do" take songs and make them popular on the radio. wow...REALLY...haha...Now there are a few that can write/sing and are famous and that's is awesome...BUT..(and I am NO "b" fan..) Just because they don't write it doesn't make them not stars. Without the stars, the writers would be nothing, without the writers MOST stars would HAVE nothing to sing..haha..so, yeah kinda goes together... WOW....REALLY just shocks me how people talk, and have NO clue.. God Bless
Sal G Its one thing to be there with Sia and actually co-write the song. Changing one line after buying a song is a different thing. Beyonce has been accused of taking credit so many times for a reason. The guy who write Halo said mixed things about it. He hates how she took credit, yet he liked the changes she made to it better than the original
I know. The noment I heard pretty hurts I knew it was Sia. But I wouldn't have guessed it if I hadn't listened to some of her old songs. Those were truly magic!
Actually that is sung and written by sia song appeared on one of the csi Miami episodes long time ago who's Jessie.....???? just kidding but in comparison really who is she
I got cancer when she said that the BRAZIL WORLD CUP song received backlash because it wasn't Brazilian enough, when the Cup was held in "Rio de Janeiro". God... Rio de Janeiro is just one of the cities... not a Country...
Pfff I live next to you guys and I couldn't tell a thing about you , she knows even though she lives a little further so don't be so critical and enjoy her music instead!
Ruth de los Santos well, I really don´t mind these mistakes, it would be hypocritical as I dunno maaany things about other countries, and we, brazilians, also commit many mistakes like these (What about our ex-president Lula da Silva saying that South Africa was so pretty that it didn´t look like Africa??), I just laugh because they are always funny. PS: Don´t ask me anything about your country because I probably don´t know.
I'm in love with Beyonce's Pretty Hurts. The lyrics send a strong message and to learn that Sia's behind it made me love the song even more. I would like to meet Sia someday and I want to listen and witness how she composes these songs. It's also my dream to write meaningful songs.
I cannot imagine someone else than Beyonce singing pretty hurts, she did bring those words to life.. Other than that Sia's talent is out of this world. She's icredible!
diamonds - rihanna 0:28 cannonball - lea michele 1:00 let me love you - ne-yo 1:49 perfume - britney spears 2:30 radioactive - rita ora 3:15 we are one - pitbull 4:00 pretty hurts - beyonce 4:53
Yeeeeep... Sia is a total mastermind. And as Tyler Oakley said: "It's like she wrote all those songs and kept the best ones for herself." I cannot describe how much i love Big Girls Cry.
I'm speechless...Sia is extraordinary and brilliant!I'm so glad she didn't give Chandelier to anyone.IMO,she should have kept diamond and pretty hurts as well.
Yasss she wrote pretty hurts. She's a genius like for real! I'm a little disappointed in all these artists. They should have given a little credit and not hide her behind her lyrics. I guess their fame would be on the spot? Idk. Sia is my idol and I love how she writes such powerful songs like titanium and pretty hurts, etc. I love her!
Sia doesn't even want fame. After the alcohol and drug addictions, She decided to write songs to pop artist. We live in a judgmental world there fame can cause problems to someone's life.
well I do know that in a documentary Beyoncé made on her visual album, she talked about how she collaborated with her idols (which she included Sia) to help and inspire her to make her album. So at least Beyoncé did lol.
Because she says "sia knows the meaning of life, or at least how this happened" and then u see Michael kind of defying gravity.. I thought it was weird too so I rewinded it then understood. 😊
Does anyone else feel cheated by the music industry? You have writers who don't get credit when singers get awards. You think there is a deeper story behind the music when it's written and sang by an artist. But you later find the artist didn't write it and you find it's made in 14 minutes by a person who herself admits the music doesn't touch her and distributed around like a cheap prostitute for public fame illusion....
You only feel cheated because you know nothing of the machine that is the pop music industry. I knew all of this by the time I was in my teens. The music business is just that....A business. They are investing in employers (Beyoncé, Rihanna, etc) to sell a product (pop music). With the millions of dollars invested into these employees, they want to be sure that they see the greatest ROI (Return On Investment) from every so called "pop artist" they employ. This means that they are not going to leave the song writing up to them, as that would be taking a great risk. So They hire a huge team of writers, producers, a marketing team etc to do the majority of the creating. The "artist" then presents and sells the finished product to you much like a car salesman sells you a car. So remember the next time you hear that catchy One Direction song, understand that there was a HUGE team of writers and producers behind that hit, not Harry Styles.
ShaunMoto125 This is why you don't listen to most music on the radio and wait a couple years after the "in" feel is gone. You then sort through the rubble for a rare gem.
Caviar Liberta Still not worth it. The radio represents probably 2% of the music that is actually being made in the world. It's what I like to refer to as the 'McDonalds" of music. Limiting your music intake by just listening to the radio is going to hinder your musical taste. Try leaving the confines of the radio, it's truly amazing what you'll find.
I find it awful that directors shoot a video and than the singer gets a prize on the VMA's. 90% of today's pop music scene consists of empty singers, who have to sing and be hot and that is it. But they still get all the credit. They sing whatever they can get and whatever is believed to make money, without any sense for the music art. Than there are 5% of them who write their music and it sucks and than there are the 5% who are actually good. Someone has to be. So we all now that the world's music in general isn't what it used to be.
That's because it's an industry It's about business Artistry does appear at times and artists can be passionate about performing but they mostly want to profit off of you. If you don't like it don't buy music or go to concerts, and don't talk about the artists because not being mentioned is the worse for them because they are irrelevant. And producers and songwriters actually make a lot of royalties, the artists have to sell out concerts to make any money. And appear on tv shows. And the career lasts a lot longer for behind the scenes because it doesn't matter our age, appearance, or popularity. You don't have the criticism from the public eye either. So while they don't get awards they do get a lot of other perks. (And when albums win awards actually it's for everyone who worked on it not just the singer)
Sia es tan increíble que con cada canción que escribe para otro artista siempre logra dejar algo de ella en sus letras que hacen que cuando las escuches te des una idea de que Sia la escribio
Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Oh, yeah Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Shine bright like a diamond Genius absolute genius, did she write this too? And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
stunningarrayof true, but then again, some of her songs are emotionally powerful, and its the deep music mixed with key phrases that make her the genius.
I'm not a big fan of Sia or Rihanah, but come on. Yeah, that song is RIDICULOUSLY repetitive but it does have some pretty good lyrics that deserve recognition. "Find light in a beautiful sea, I chose to be happy. You and I are like diamonds in the sky. You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy. When you hold me, I'm alive." "I knew we'd become one right away. At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays." "We are beautiful like diamonds in the sky." "Palms rise to the universe, as we, Moonshine and Molly, feel the warmth will never die." Their are other lyrics. So stfu.
Now imagine her singing all these hit songs! If she didn't write these songs for all of these stars, imagine her singing them by herself! She'd be the greatest superstar to ever live
If you notice, all these songs are similar in a way.. I don't know how to explain it but they're very deep and typically about either loving yourself or about love in general
I'm 68 so lived through the sixties and have seen most of the top stars including Michael Jackson, Prince,Queen,The Stones,Genesis,to name but a few, but Sia is one of the most exciting artists around at the moment
Ok so now, make an updated video including... Flashlights by Jessie J Try Everything by Shakira Making the most of the night and Boy Problems by Carly Rae Jepsen My Heart is Open by Maroon 5 Invincible by Kelly Clarkson Strange birds by Birdy ..i can go further but i'm lazy so, meh
Nooo, Rihanna never sounds like Sia, Diamonds was first, on 2012, and Chandelier rang on 2014, and okey we kno that Sia wrotte both songs, but she should not put a sound so similar :/
I Can't Believe you didn't add any Christina Aguilera's Music almost 80% of The Song on Xtina's Album "Bionic" are all written By Sia But Great Video Tho :D
If sia sung all of these songs she'd have so many number ones.
True
Little Monster :D hi!
Yeah , i hope :)
That's the thing
, you need to be young and be attractive to little children to be in the charts now, talent doesn't matter
No, Sia can't sing good as Beyonce or Rihanna lol.
All of the songs sound so Sia. Especially Diamonds - I can just hear it in her voice
👌👌👌
Now that you mention it, I can hear it.
+Anjalee Burrows When You Said That I realized That And Your Right I Could Hear Her Vocal Style!!!!!

When the song ends up being really personal or really special, she keeps it and puts it on her album with other songs she writes specifically for her. That is just my guess though. She has this unique ability to have good yet catchy songs pour out of her.
Jeremy S. yeah yeah yeah I´m Lorde yeah yeah yeah
Jeremy S. yeah yeah yeah I´m Lorde yeah yeah yeah
Joseph Coiro What a dumb statement, you really showed how you have no idea what you are talking about. Her 7 albums are filled with brilliant songwriting, great lyrics and some of the greatest vocals ever! She is one of the best female singers EVER. Not only is she not ugly, but even if she was, what idiot likes music because of how they look.
am I the only one who has never heard of Rita Ora's radioactive
No I haven't
***** shes rachael in the tv show glee
Maya Perez No. That's Lea Michelle.
Mary Garcia I feel stupid now but thanks for correcting me
Right when the girl on the video said Radioactive, the first thing I thought of was Imagine Dragons.
everything she wrote for people it sounds like her music
Agree
sia would have sounded better singing all of these songs
YES! I was thinking the same😃😂
especially cannonball
Yeah but the money thoughhh
Well diamond
Agreed!
sia is sooooo talented . Imagine her writting diamond in 14 minutes. !!!!!!!!
Sia is soooo talented and her lyrics actually have meaning.
I love the fact she brought up Death By chocolate🍫, it is one of my favourite songs and is also part of my favourite album "Some People Have Real Problems"
Sia is defenitly the Best songwriter in the hole World. But for me she is one of the Best singer Too! adele and Sia are my absolute favorites
yes! adele and sia are the BEEEEEESSSSSTTTTT!!!!!!!!
Best songwriter in the whole world? HA!
+SupplySide Jesus What like you could do better. Get a life ALEJANDRO.
whole*
Her and Melanie Martinez, because both have powerful and clever lyrics, you have to read in between the lines to understand the full picture
Now I know why I love 'diamond' and 'perfume' lyric so much.
All these songs sound like Sia wrote it.
Sia wrote them
Yeah
+Michael Swanton no shit.
CO2 Vodpyre
Michael Swanton **Sherlock has entered the chat**
Sia deserves Grammy 🥺
The first time I heard Diamonds I thought it was Sia
The firt time I hear Chandelier I thought it was Rihanna!
I often get Sia and Rihanna mixed up XD
+Caitlin Bird Omg! Same here xD
I thought sia sang Cannonball lol.
+lacyjeansable me too
I love Elastic Heart! :)
Yes it is so artistic for me and I just love it and maddie and shia😆
I KNOW RIGHT?!
Same here, it's my favourite song of hers.
***** Oh thank goodness Katy Perry turned it down. Not that I don't like her or anything, it's just that Sia's voice - like you said - is absolutely perfect for the song.
***** I know exactly what you mean. In this era where artists just churn out one pop record after another for money, Sia's voice actually makes me feel something. I honestly can't imagine anyone else being able to sing this song as well as Sia - not Beyoncé and certainly not Katy Perry. The one person who might (emphasis on might) be able to sing it well - or at least better than anyone who tries to cover the song - is Patrick Stump from Fall Out Boy.
But yeah, you're absolutely right. 'A good voice' is certainly not enough for a track like 'Elastic Heart'. Sia has it all - the voice and the heart.
That's why there's backlash you yourself don't know the World Cup was held in 12 different cities of brazil, not only Rio. I've never heard of a World Cup happening in just one city.
World Cup of 1930 was only in Montevideo
Wisti Johnston you really dig that up haha
nunca esperei te encontrar em comentários aleatórios por ai kkkkkkk
I'm not sure why the world cup is so popular, I guess its mostly poor brown countries. If I had the choice to slowly die of AIDS or kick a ball, I think I'd kick the ball..
Julia Jolie Hahahah olha só essa Julia
People who write músic this well, it's because they've been through the most pain.

I also love Diamonds & Pretty Hurts! :-)

So true

hello
Sia is probably one of the very few musicians on the music scene who is actually talented.
i've been seeing sia in the basement jokes so here i am
"Makes us want to swing from chandeliers!"
Yes, that is the message of the song. Totally. What a party anthem that is. Such a shame that most people really don't seem to get anything she is singing about.
I love her feature in David Guetta's She Wolf (Falling to Pieces)
she wrote, also Titanium
Me too! Great song and clip
Beyonce is always taking credit on songs she has no input in. Then gets a Grammy for forcing her name into the credits. What a professional con artist lol.
Um that is what "Artist do" take songs and make them popular on the radio. wow...REALLY...haha...Now there are a few that can write/sing and are famous and that's is awesome...BUT..(and I am NO "b" fan..) Just because they don't write it doesn't make them not stars. Without the stars, the writers would be nothing, without the writers MOST stars would HAVE nothing to sing..haha..so, yeah kinda goes together... WOW....REALLY just shocks me how people talk, and have NO clue.. God Bless
Sal G Its one thing to be there with Sia and actually co-write the song. Changing one line after buying a song is a different thing. Beyonce has been accused of taking credit so many times for a reason. The guy who write Halo said mixed things about it. He hates how she took credit, yet he liked the changes she made to it better than the original
Sal G
"Um... Yeah... Really... but... wow... No... WOW." God bless.
Stop hating the player hate the game!!! Lots of artist do this.
Danielle Johnson Not when she's cheating the game, boo. Bye.
SIA is just simply AMAZING!!!
Some song you can tell sia wrote like pretty hurts and diamonds
I agree
owwzzzzzz?
I know. The noment I heard pretty hurts I knew it was Sia. But I wouldn't have guessed it if I hadn't listened to some of her old songs. Those were truly magic!
Another song co-written by Sia is "Breathe" sang by Jessie J for her 2nd album Alive
I adooore jessie ! :D
Argyrw Koutsikouni
Actually that is sung and written by sia song appeared on one of the csi Miami episodes long time ago
who's Jessie.....???? just kidding but in comparison really who is she
Forest Furniture Sia's song is "Breathe me" and Jessie's song is "Breathe" and they're totally diferent
André Lucas
I got cancer when she said that the BRAZIL WORLD CUP song received backlash because it wasn't Brazilian enough, when the Cup was held in "Rio de Janeiro". God... Rio de Janeiro is just one of the cities... not a Country...
She knows...
Rodrigo LS
A Swiss girl asked me if I wasn´t scared to live among the lions... kkkk
kkkkkkk
Pfff I live next to you guys and I couldn't tell a thing about you , she knows even though she lives a little further so don't be so critical and enjoy her music instead!
Ruth de los Santos
well, I really don´t mind these mistakes, it would be hypocritical as I dunno maaany things about other countries, and we, brazilians, also commit many mistakes like these (What about our ex-president Lula da Silva saying that South Africa was so pretty that it didn´t look like Africa??), I just laugh because they are always funny. PS: Don´t ask me anything about your country because I probably don´t know.
So happy Pretty Hurts got given to Beyonce. Imagine that song being sung by Rhianna or Katy Perry 😳😳
It wouldn't make sense Beyoncé had to sing cuz she was pagents as a child
@@tashmirajoseph7389 Lots of songs dont make sense and are just made for fun
Rihanna would do fine too, Katy Perry not so much
I'm in love with Beyonce's Pretty Hurts. The lyrics send a strong message and to learn that Sia's behind it made me love the song even more. I would like to meet Sia someday and I want to listen and witness how she composes these songs. It's also my dream to write meaningful songs.
you said radioactive and i was like OMG IMAGIME DRAGON'S them i was like.....oh
+Elektra S me too wahaha i thought im just the only one wahahaha
I was so hyped and then they were like Radioactive by....Rita Ora :/
+Elektra S me too :D
I was confused cause I know pretty much everything about them, their one of favorites bands
Anytime I hear "Radioactive" in reference to a song I actually think of Marina and the Diamonds...
lol, same
I cannot imagine someone else than Beyonce singing pretty hurts, she did bring those words to life.. Other than that Sia's talent is out of this world. She's icredible!
sia ur god gifted for us. ....I love u....
sia is one of the greatest artists that never come again
Sia needs to write with and sing with Gaga :D That would be EPIC!
They're voices
i think you mean Their lol
Yeah auto correct.
She shouldn't write for GAGA, but sing with her YES
It would probably be the first time sia would've worked with a smart pop singer that can write genius
When she said Radioactive I was like OMG IMAGINE DRAGONS!! And then Rita Ora came up and I was like. Oh...
.
Same
lol me too
Same
I was so disappointed...

diamonds - rihanna 0:28

is it weird that i can strongly imagine Sia singing these songs?
no i am imagining that too
nooooo I'm doing now lol
she makes us want to swing from chandeliers and clap our hands
WHY NOT BOTH
at the same time
Diamonds was written in 40 minutes not 14! She said it in an interview
The interview I saw she said 14......
14 and 40 sound similar, so maybe I heard it wrong..
Malik Hasnain
probably. i know she said one of her other songs was written in 40 minutes but diamonds was 14.
It took 40 minutes to write "Titanium" and 14 to write "Diamonds".
Chris Ice is right
I think Sia has kept the best songs she's wrote for herself, that's for sure.
I'm rocking out to 1000 Forms Of Fear right now c:
Yeeeeep... Sia is a total mastermind. And as Tyler Oakley said: "It's like she wrote all those songs and kept the best ones for herself." I cannot describe how much i love Big Girls Cry.
Namejs Kugrēns big girls cry is a masterpiece!
OMG THATS WHY CHANDELIER, LET ME LOVE U , PRETTY HURTS , DIAMONDS, CANNON BALL, PERFUME, RADIOACTIVE AND WE ARE ONE OLE OLA SIA U ARE AMAZING!!!
THESE ARE ONE OF MY FAVES!!! SIA WHAT ARE YOU?!?!
Why Smooth Criminal in the middle of the vid?
omg I am thinking that to lol
Sia writes a song for a famous other popstar, collects her check & doesn't take the credit. What a gal. Sing for me.
I'm speechless...Sia is extraordinary and brilliant!I'm so glad she didn't give Chandelier to anyone.IMO,she should have kept diamond and pretty hurts as well.
I think shes really beautiful idk why but ive seen on alot of her videos that peoples say shes ugly all i see is a person who is true to her songs:)
also in the beginning she forgot to mention elastic heart:)
i dont even think it came out before this came out
PoTaco Life it does... elastic heart was included in the hunger games catching fire soundtrack album in 2013
Yasss she wrote pretty hurts. She's a genius like for real! I'm a little disappointed in all these artists. They should have given a little credit and not hide her behind her lyrics. I guess their fame would be on the spot? Idk. Sia is my idol and I love how she writes such powerful songs like titanium and pretty hurts, etc. I love her!
Sia doesn't even want fame. After the alcohol and drug addictions, She decided to write songs to pop artist. We live in a judgmental world there fame can cause problems to someone's life.
well I do know that in a documentary Beyoncé made on her visual album, she talked about how she collaborated with her idols (which she included Sia) to help and inspire her to make her album. So at least Beyoncé did lol.
Why is Michael Jackson suddenly in there very randomly??
like???? 😂 😂 😂 😂 That was weird
Right
LOL RIGHT
IKR! I went 😲😲😲
Because she says "sia knows the meaning of life, or at least how this happened" and then u see Michael kind of defying gravity.. I thought it was weird too so I rewinded it then understood. 😊
Titanium is currently number 30 in the UK dance charts, 191 weeks in the charts as of 11/05/2017
At first i thot you meant radioactive Imagine Dragons and i was like WHAAAAA SIA!?!?!?! WOW
thought***
+Maria Bernal don't spell it domt 😂😂😂😂
+Maria Bernal an ancient god of Egypt maybe ? not an English speaker so I wonder what it means in your language or slang.
+niemeld thats Thoth
same omg
Loved me Back To Life was written by Sia
That's an amazing song!
I already new them and much more songs that she wrote
She is a queen
Does anyone else feel cheated by the music industry? You have writers who don't get credit when singers get awards. You think there is a deeper story behind the music when it's written and sang by an artist. But you later find the artist didn't write it and you find it's made in 14 minutes by a person who herself admits the music doesn't touch her and distributed around like a cheap prostitute for public fame illusion....
You only feel cheated because you know nothing of the machine that is the pop music industry. I knew all of this by the time I was in my teens. The music business is just that....A business. They are investing in employers (Beyoncé, Rihanna, etc) to sell a product (pop music). With the millions of dollars invested into these employees, they want to be sure that they see the greatest ROI (Return On Investment) from every so called "pop artist" they employ. This means that they are not going to leave the song writing up to them, as that would be taking a great risk. So They hire a huge team of writers, producers, a marketing team etc to do the majority of the creating. The "artist" then presents and sells the finished product to you much like a car salesman sells you a car. So remember the next time you hear that catchy One Direction song, understand that there was a HUGE team of writers and producers behind that hit, not Harry Styles.
ShaunMoto125 This is why you don't listen to most music on the radio and wait a couple years after the "in" feel is gone. You then sort through the rubble for a rare gem.
Caviar Liberta Still not worth it. The radio represents probably 2% of the music that is actually being made in the world. It's what I like to refer to as the 'McDonalds" of music. Limiting your music intake by just listening to the radio is going to hinder your musical taste. Try leaving the confines of the radio, it's truly amazing what you'll find.
I find it awful that directors shoot a video and than the singer gets a prize on the VMA's. 90% of today's pop music scene consists of empty singers, who have to sing and be hot and that is it. But they still get all the credit. They sing whatever they can get and whatever is believed to make money, without any sense for the music art. Than there are 5% of them who write their music and it sucks and than there are the 5% who are actually good. Someone has to be. So we all now that the world's music in general isn't what it used to be.
That's because it's an industry
It's about business
Artistry does appear at times and artists can be passionate about performing but they mostly want to profit off of you. If you don't like it don't buy music or go to concerts, and don't talk about the artists because not being mentioned is the worse for them because they are irrelevant. And producers and songwriters actually make a lot of royalties, the artists have to sell out concerts to make any money. And appear on tv shows. And the career lasts a lot longer for behind the scenes because it doesn't matter our age, appearance, or popularity. You don't have the criticism from the public eye either. So while they don't get awards they do get a lot of other perks. (And when albums win awards actually it's for everyone who worked on it not just the singer)
This whole six minute video could be rendered obsolete by simply listing the 7 songs and not making people watch all the pointless bullshit.
bw13187 glad im not the only one who thought that...
bw13187 one could say the same thing about most NatGeo or Di$covery shows... some one-hour show lingering over a fifty-word idea.
bw13187 no kidding huh?
bw13187 grumpy cat, is it you??
Then you should have just searched google not youtube videos
If sia sing these songs she would be ruling in music industry
Sia es tan increíble que con cada canción que escribe para otro artista siempre logra dejar algo de ella en sus letras que hacen que cuando las escuches te des una idea de que Sia la escribio
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Oh, yeah
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Shine bright like a diamond
Genius absolute genius, did she write this too?
And we gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
Gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
We gonna let it burn, burn, burn, burn
stunningarrayof true, but then again, some of her songs are emotionally powerful, and its the deep music mixed with key phrases that make her the genius.
stunningarrayof 14 minutes lol
I'm not a big fan of Sia or Rihanah, but come on. Yeah, that song is RIDICULOUSLY repetitive but it does have some pretty good lyrics that deserve recognition.
"Find light in a beautiful sea, I chose to be happy. You and I are like diamonds in the sky. You're a shooting star I see, a vision of ecstasy. When you hold me, I'm alive."
"I knew we'd become one right away. At first sight I felt the energy of sun rays."
"We are beautiful like diamonds in the sky."
"Palms rise to the universe, as we, Moonshine and Molly, feel the warmth will never die."
Their are other lyrics. So stfu.
You do know its a song about taking MDMA don't you?
Give me a break, some of the best songs of all time repeat themselves. That's such a ridiculous assertion to make, it's called a chorus
Wow ..sia is sooooooo talented!!! Het voice itself is unique!
SIA..SHE IS AMAZING
Now imagine her singing all these hit songs! If she didn't write these songs for all of these stars, imagine her singing them by herself! She'd be the greatest superstar to ever live
she's now living in Beyoncé’s basement 😆🍿✨
This is the comment i search for
If you notice, all these songs are similar in a way.. I don't know how to explain it but they're very deep and typically about either loving yourself or about love in general
Whoa Sia is amazing
I'm 68 so lived through the sixties and have seen most of the top stars including Michael Jackson, Prince,Queen,The Stones,Genesis,to name but a few, but Sia is one of the most exciting artists around at the moment
Ok so now, make an updated video including...
Flashlights by Jessie J
Try Everything by Shakira
Making the most of the night and Boy Problems by Carly Rae Jepsen
My Heart is Open by Maroon 5
Invincible by Kelly Clarkson
Strange birds by Birdy
..i can go further but i'm lazy so, meh
In chandileire she sounds like Rihannah
Rihanna sounds like Sia
I don't think Rihanna would hit those highs
Ik but like when she isnt singing high notes, and actually in the song diamonds she kinda hits high notes...
Nooo, Rihanna never sounds like Sia, Diamonds was first, on 2012, and Chandelier rang on 2014, and okey we kno that Sia wrotte both songs, but she should not put a sound so similar :/
It's my opinion
I didn’t know she wrote let me love you omg
sia my artist right now hands down
they All have the same sparking rhythm in their choruses it's like Chandelier's chorus too...she is a really good songwriter
OMG PERFUME IS BY SIA ? I LOVE THAT SONG WTF😂😍
ur mom XD no because she just want to get a sandwich but fans will Crowd everywhere
I love the unapologetic album
Sia is just a genius best writer of this generation !
pretty hurts is perfect for beyonce!!!! my opinion =D
mine too.
MysteriousCliché =D
Of course sia wrote most of those. Because the other artists don't have talent. Sia has more talent in one finger than all of them put together.
So singing is not a talent?
Wisti Johnston if you class using auto tune a talent i guess so
wexfordam Then actors are not talentet either??? they dont write the script.
Wisti Johnston didn't say anything about actors. Dunno where you got that from
Wisti Johnston good point! *****
I Can't Believe you didn't add any Christina Aguilera's Music almost 80% of The Song on Xtina's Album "Bionic" are all written By Sia
But Great Video Tho :D
Bionic was a flop in my opinion. ;~;
that's probably because the title is called "7songs you did NOT know....." :)
Sophie's Lifestyle
Well I'm sure allot of people didn't know about Sia Writing on Bionic
Gregory Pabst
Well Regardless she still wrote on it
*****
Rita Ora Didn't sell Millions with radioactive it's still in there tho
in 2017 she did holiday music and holiday songs like candy cane lane.she wrote candy cane lane for herself and released it in 2017.
