The inflections, the low,high range , the change in pitch at the right moment to wring out the best interpretation of a song. I’ve never heard any singer sing like that. She can write songs too.
I cry everytime i hear this. it reminds me of a beautiful love affair gone horribly wrong. Yet the moments we shared were like no other. "Moonshine and molly", indeed.
I remember when I heard Sia's interview with Stern. That day I completely fell in love with her!!!! Also, she blows Rhianna out of the water singing Diamonds. Sia's voice is literally one of the BEST VOICE'S I've ever heard. She gives me goosebumps from those pipes of hers. LOVE YOU SIA!!!! ♥️💛💚💙💜
this interview was simply amazing. probably one of Howard's best ever. i didnt want it to end. I didnt really care for Sia before but now I am a huge fan.
In my opinion, this was Howard’s best interview ever. This is the interview I tell people who aren’t fans to listen to. This was peak Howard when he perfected the blend of both comedic & deeper probing questions. The show sucks now & the interviews do as well. He’s gone too mainstream & tries too hard to psychoanalyze the guests.
Sia is eccentric,her voice raspy,epic,unique,intoxicating ...I cant get enough of this woman.I love someone different ,intriguing, colorful,quirky...Keep em coming Sia we adore you
Sia is AMAZING! I absolutely LOVE her. I remember when I listened to Sia on Howard Stern, I was blown away! I knew of her already, but didn't know she was so down to earth!!
just amazing , i hate main stream music but this is a powerful song when being sung by Sia. Howard stern is a master interviewer , no one else coulda gotten this emotional side from Sia.
I hate mainstream/pop40 as well, but this was written by SIA. If you're just now discovering her then check out ZERO 7, they are amazing and as always, her vocals and emotions are on point. =)
@@Siafansmorocco I think you're wrong, my friend. 🙂 It's "in this guy". I know this because it's one of my top 2 favorite songs. This and the Lady Gaga song Bad Romance where she says "caught in the bedroom ants". It's about a Romance went bad because they were being intimate and there were so many Ants in the bedroom it became a big problem.
Two of the best human voices on the planet. One is a legendary presenter and the other is a incomparable artist with a platinum voice. I’d listen to them all day everyday!
I've been a longtime fan of SIA ever since Zero 7, and if you are just now discovering her please listen to her vocals on the most incredible sounds by Zero 7.
Rihanna s interpretation is amazing without a doubt and the song fits her perfectly. But this comes from the heart that wrote it and thus cant be compared.
Music is the Universal language so powerful, so emotional, so thought provoking, so perfect like all things when God first created light, then love, then all life in this infinite Universe! Since our time and presence in this life is short, the power of music can raise up our souls that are beyond this world.
Sia, your version blows Rihannas' published version of this song you wrote and sold to her. You r so beautiful. Being famous has to be so challenging in so many ways. No one would ever leave u the fuck along. I get it why u would want to hide your face.
SIA wrote this track, and much like you I'm not a fan of pop. As I told the other viewer, if you're just now discovering SIA then check out ZERO 7. Her vocals and energy are beautiful. =)
Every so often a song arises from the pop world and achieves a higher calling - helping the listener achieve a deeper spiritual and emotional state. This does that for me, but in some ways it has always felt like half a song and that it needed some sort of bridge or chorus to make it even better. Am I the only person to think that? Or would my idea ruin the hypnotic quality?
Blue I believe they were filming performances at this time, but, for whatever reason, I don’t think it was ever released. There is an audio-only version of this performance available on the SiriusXM app and the sound is pristine, much better than on this video, if you’re curious. It’s cut off at the end rather abruptly though.🤷♂️
NOT! I strongly disagree. Sia wrote this song. But stage freight scared her for many years. Idk how u think Rhianna version better. Cause I'm almost deaf in my left ear. And I clearly hear notes from sias soul. Where it feels meaning less from Rhianna. Sia=goosebumps Rhianna = middle school choir practice

She's bigger than what we can comprehend.

Possibly the best voice to have ever existed. That's my true opinion.
Mine too ❤️
It's hard to dispute. That's for sure.
Sia is eccentric,her voice raspy,epic,unique,intoxicating ...I cant get enough of this woman.I love someone different ,intriguing, colorful,quirky...Keep em coming Sia we adore you
This version blows all others away. So moving, & spiritual.
Bewitching, raw, shows the power of emotion! This was one show I will never forget!
Sia is AMAZING! I absolutely LOVE her. I remember when I listened to Sia on Howard Stern, I was blown away! I knew of her already, but didn't know she was so down to earth!!
My queen she is so sweet😭♥️🎀she is the best ever what an Amazing woman and voice... love this interview
This song is so emotional.. Bring me in tears. Sia's voice is great, strong, dirty. The version that I prefer
Her voice gives me chills
Best version of Diamonds by far, a) because it's Sia b) the emotion in her voice due to amazing interviewer Howard Stern.
One of those performances where I know exactly where I was and exactly what I was doing as I listened to the whole interview. Amazing writer.
That was amazing and so emotional. I hope Sia keeps making music and singing for a long time.
One of his greatest interviews ever
Howard is the best for this pose. Her artistry was not lost on him. What a performance!
just amazing , i hate main stream music but this is a powerful song when being sung by Sia. Howard stern is a master interviewer , no one else coulda gotten this emotional side from Sia.

Beautiful like diamonds in this guy
Beautiful like diamonds in the sky ❤

raw talent, so pure...chills every time I hear her voice
Omg, tears.... beautiful human being
So beautiful.
Absolutely AMAZING.
Straight up Goddess with a voice like a choir of angels.

Indeed. =)
her two appearances on simple things are precious
Rihanna s interpretation is amazing without a doubt and the song fits her perfectly.

This moment was so powerful.
Sensational!!! I love Siaso much!!!
Omg she is best of best 😘😘
sia is a gem
yapp 😍
Sia, your version blows Rihannas' published version of this song you wrote and sold to her.
You r so beautiful. Being famous has to be so challenging in so many ways. No one would ever leave u the fuck along. I get it why u would want to hide your face.
Not into this pop stuff or Rihanna, but this is a beautiful song and both versions are great.

This must have been a 1 in a million opportunity for Scott the engeneer
such a beautiful person.... GOD must exist to put such a beautiful soul like hers on earth!!! truly amazing... her voice makes everything in life ok.
Incredible
There is something about a cigar smoking female voice that gives me goosebumps !
You should check out left outside alone by Anastacia
She doesn't smoke cigars
Sia and Kurr Cobain.. Howard is lucky to have asked them to sing for him
Amazing how she can just switch on genius at the drop of a hat.
q hermosa voz😇
*Queen*
Goddess
I need this on Spotify. As in, I need it bad.
I remember this, her voice is like a tube amp
Haunting

2:28 love this.
She has made so many songs she forgets her own lyrics lol
Did Howard TV not film while she was in the studio?
+gargamel55 Howard TV was already disbanded by then.

I don't think sia allowed it back then. She hid her face for long time. Kind of like tool ...in little way
Hold back everyone..I'm marrying her
This song just fits an international women perfectly lol no American could have sung this
Very good, but Rihanna's version is better.
No
Definitely not
