Sia belts out 'Alive' at a private event | Full performance

[@PhxSml]

It’s crazy how it sounds just like the record and she’s just sitting there. She’s so talented

[@woswasdenni1914]

please stop saying someone is so talented when he or she is good. talent just let you learn certain things maybe a bit faster and some you cannot learn without talent. but her skill is not from talent but hard work over years, blood sweat and tears, and years and years of performances and a never stopping passion for waht she is doing. not just "talent" aka genetic luck. saying someone is so talented is subconscious excuse for not doing soemthing. like yea he or she is good but hey just lucky beeing born that way. i sit on my couch all day because iam not lucky.

She's very good songwriter too. No wonder she has made so many songs and lyrics for other artists. I think it must be better to not be the biggest pop star out there. You can't live a private life after that. So much pressure all the time. It's got to be exhausting.

This woman is 46 years old and still belts like a 28 year old. She even lets her voice break, but has somehow not totally fried her vocal cords. Just insane talent and skill. Even the 20-something songstresses - some of whom do, genuinely, have very talented voices - are not gonna be able to belt like this at 46.

No, belting is not hard on your voice, not if your technique is correct. To an untrained ear it might sound as if is, but that's not the case. I do a fair share of belting myself, at the age of 53 😁

She probably earned new fans from that group. Lucky folks who never even knew how amazing she is and then heard her for the first time, and live at that.

[@duskmoon181]

Sia is quite possibly one of the best female singers of all time. Not just cause she can hit those notes, but because she sings with passion and love. Unlike so many artists today who just try to perfect every single note. Sia just lets the cracks and changes flow. And they sound absolutely beautiful. I would love to see her live in concert and get to meet her. As a bass in a choir, she’s a complete inspiration to me, and helped push me out of my comfort zone to experiment with how high I can push my voice. The lyrics and love in each one of her songs connects with me on a level I never get from any other artist. Best singer I’ve ever heard.

[@0xluffy]

Just want to say 👍👌👏

[@GaelleCathy]

I totally agree. This is actually these cracks in her voice that makes her unique, and, in a way, makes it "perfect". I love other singers, yes, but no other voices gives me those shivers.

I would say Sia, Beyonce, Pink and Lady Gaga as the best artist of our current generation. They are the most well-rounded, unique and distinctive performers and yet very different from each other. All had written their own songs, powerful vocal range, and have demonstrated countless times live that they could easily sing acoustic version of their songs.
