Video interview with Australian pop singer Sia. FaceCulture spoke to Sia Furler about her dogs, being lonely on tour, popstars, being shy, drinking lots of alcohol in the past, the new album We Are Born, writing songs for others, being realistic about music, only enjoying the actual show, grief, not promoting albums in the future, and more. (17/05/2010)

[@scanspeak00]

A pop star is a product. Sia is a real human.

[@bw2937]

Most are now. You don't see so many product artists anymore

[@EtopiaCA]

Shes genuinely the same thing as any other pop star. She started with good intentions and got ate up by the industry. Now shes a sellout that makes music for the sake of money, views and recognition rather than making music for the sake of music.

[@reactions_with_will]

absolutely

[@guywebster8018]

And a phenomenal writer

[@KIWIMADNEZ]

I love Sia's laughter and I think she's very pretty.

[@Sweetxxtarte86]

she's such a sweet soul

[@TravisHeinze]

Don't you think Sia is towing the line by promoting such pedophilia in her vids?

[@techmaven5900]

Huh Wha?????

[@panicatthepitypartyinthebl5616]

Who else thought she said she took her ducks with her? 😂 ily Sia

[@TeaGaby]

She didnt say that?

[@marianarojaszapata3982]

+TeaGaby haha she said dogs not ducks

[@timtorok11]

Lol I'm still convinced she has ducks

[@PeacefulCountryLife]

+Super Princess Daisy I am afraid you have a duck fetish, Super Princess Daisy.

[@cmjcj2ktn]

+Super Princess Daisy She's not talking about her ducks? What the hell is going on?

[@modestjoy1]

I like her....she is real.

[@Nay.01]

"They get to smell new smells everyday" "I'm a total weirdo" "I'm not on a diet and I don't have a personal trainer yet, that comes on tour with me" "I know I'm not a rockstar" "I'm a creature of comfort" Sia is an absolutely gorgeous human

[@eddiespaghettii1540]

yeah very true shes me hero

[@o0bscure]

totally agree she actually doesnt try to edit herself impressive !

[@jimmyfigueras4476]

Deltalea yeah, she's lovely

[@DoniJames]

She's so cute! Omg. I love her facial expressions and hearing her talk.

[@eddiespaghettii1540]

her laugh is adorable

[@Realmasterorder]

+Donovan Morales yea i dont like the whole hiding face thing she did even though it bosted her carrier

[@marcob4630]

Cute ?? Oh my god !

[@marcob4630]

vulgar enough

[@WhoDaFukIsSbeve]

@@marcob4630 How is it vulgar? Ik I'm late but if you're still around pls clarify.

[@Zanderthegrape]

She is not covering her face because she thinks she is ugly. She is covering her face because of anonyminity. Yeah her pictures are online, but she chooses not to use her face to drive her career as a performer.

[@caseywhite1402]

she has lost self confidence ever since her boyfriend died in a car crash some years ago and she tried to commit suicide (she wrote a note and everything!). She wants to be anonymous but she can't... she truly cannot. It's impossible to go from preforming live and showing your face to completely disappearing

[@Zanderthegrape]

it has nothing to do with confidence at all

[@caseywhite1402]

I can have my opinion and you can have yours. Doesn't matter that much though, Sia is Sia

[@Zanderthegrape]

Sorry if i came off as rude.

[@pithet1953]

+Alexander Garcia True man, i don't understand the circlejerk of people that doesn't get it. Like literally nobody gives a shit why daft punk wear helmets, yet we know how they look. Being a artist and being a celebrity are two different things and one of them is rather futile imho.

[@Michelle-ph8xp]

She got me when she said she loved her dogs

[@DreamiiStarr]

She doesn't show her face because it shouldn't be about what she is wearing, or how she looks. We as a society are so concerned about appearance. Etc. No, its about the voice, the message, the power in it. I love it.

[@joshdznyc]

Well her face is here

[@Mojo-pl3oj]

@@joshdznyc exactly. This goes to show you how stupid our population is. If she didn’t want it to be about her face or what she looks like. Her face would never be shown in an interview.

[@skahler]

I think she doesn't show her face when she's performing because she doesn't want to be distracted.

[@poppylovegrove8765]

I love her laugh! Sia seems like such a unique person and so humble too. She’d be a cool mum

[@laurielarson968]

Sia, you are an inspiration and I love your soul. There was a story from your past that is helping me get through. I am a 59 year-old who LOVES your voice, writing, laughter, candor, and humbleness. You are such a beautiful woman. Thank you for being you and singing for us.

[@shahariarshahed2175]

She is a mom now!

[@lacpeb]

With a personality like hers, she was destined to become a star.

[@alexd1121]

SIA is a true star because she's not trying to be one. So beautifully honest. Love Sia.

[@yerinct]

she's so down to earth and lovely! this video makes me want to know her and be best friends with her. she's definitely different in a great way besides other pop stars

[@savannahrivera8751]

Agree

[@savannahrivera8751]

^ lucky I really want to buy her album but I'm not up to it yet

[@equilibrium4193]

You can tell she's not in it for the fame, she's just a very humble and likeable person, I like her little psychotic laugh.

[@reactions_with_will]

yes

[@JizzyF83]

Was

[@gregoryian123]

no she's in it for the money. her words not mine

[@calebrody8837]

It's called being an aussie. We're mostly all like this in everything we do.

[@cmjcj2ktn]

She is unbelievably likeable, compared to most vapid personalities (some of whom she profits off of greatly.) I love her all the more getting to see her like this. She seems like a kindred spirit.

[@flying319]

Sia is so real and genuine and so down to earth, and one with herself. she doesn't try to hold back her loud laugh or her thoughts when she thinks of something funny. her voice is magnificent and angelic... i don't have words for how much i love an appreciate her. I hope i can one day be true to myself the way she is now.

[@virtualworldvixen]

well said! i agree

[@omarshaboob7526]

flying319 Well said.

[@yasminvillanueva3141]

goodwinterly word

[@reactions_with_will]

yes

[@interweeb5289]

She reminds me of my mom. That's because she looks down to earth and a good person.

[@interviewera3602]

she is genuine and spontaneous

[@skahler]

Also, I *still* can't believe the voice that's coming out of Sia's mouth is the same one we're seeing here. It's absolutely mindblowing.

[@s.hussein8962]

Her laugh is so cute.

[@niaking5691]

Stop talking shit about queen Sia. How dare u people >.> Many of you complain that she doesn't show her face in interviews anymore, when the reason is because you make fun of her and she's trying to take attention away from how she looks so u can focus on her music.

[@greggleadbeater7821]

Hmm, seems reasonable. I never thought of her as bad looking, actually I think she's quite attractive. So why would anybody make fun of her looks? IDK, can never really tell with celebrities. ;-)

[@natyciccone2966]

I think that the reason why she doesn´t show her face is for the concept of the album. The songs are very deep and autobiographic.

[@niaking5691]

Naty Ciccone that's another reason.

[@niaking5691]

***** butthurt. Really? Mind ur own business. And of course I'm going to get angry when people say shit about a new artist who just started sharing music to the public.

[@niaking5691]

***** you like Sia... But yet ur technically defending the people who talk bad about her... Uh huh.. Ok. That makes perfect sense

[@nodresiak]

What a real laugh and a real person. Such a breathe of fresh air in a world full of phony sculptured people. I admire her strength to say no to the mainstream and live her life how she sees fit.

[@geokowalski314]

Sia has such a great personality

[@60scinema]

I love this woman, I love her candidness and sincerity. She's adorable.

[@Butterflymentality]

She's so cool & honest. I love her laugh & her rawness. It's refreshing to see someone in the industry who's so different.

[@Alice-ov3rd]

OMG she's adorable!! 💕

[@fabiogermanotto5465]

its weird watching this again now after all she has achieved Im so happy for her.

[@adelinebolda]

I heard that she doesn't like showing her face a lot and when she is singing she prefers to sing with her back to the crowd. But I think she should embrace her face because she is so beautiful!

[@jelai5]

She has anxiety :L

[@dianadaniels7656]

I just finished watching her performance on ellen.... she didnt turn to face the crowd at all. Check it out.

[@adelinebolda]

i know thats the one i watched

[@Sbeth85]

Diana Daniels The first time I saw the Ellen performance I was kinda creeped out that she didn't face the audience. But the 2nd time I saw it I actually felt very moved...she was more focused on the sound than on how she looked...and the interactions between her and Maddie (the dancer) were eerie and moving. It was like she was focused more on the music than on the performance, and I think that was a beautiful thing. (I know when I sang before an audience I got so paranoid about how I looked and interacted with the audience and how I could "perform" the song that the song itself got a bit lost)...

[@KayIce]

I think she didnt show her face on Ellen because she was trying to send a message. If you see her newest album, she doesn't show her face. Someone posted on her video Chandelier saying that it's about how she feels invisible and the lyric video also does not show her face indicating the invisibility.

[@adrianaquinn3338]

she has a bubbly personality and she isn't ugly at all, she is a talented, beautiful singer :)

[@emmadaly9707]

Your 100% right

[@yallitsfay]

YAY! Someone understands she is so beautiful

[@katttxxx5578]

If she wasn't ugly you wouldn't mention her not being ugly

[@yallitsfay]

***** that made exactly no since at all

[@HayDayEveryday]

U right

[@chelseaperrie6586]

She is absolutely AMAZING! I love everything about her. From her eccentric personality to her beautiful deep and meaningful songs. She to me is the epitome of a true artist that cares about the ART of music and not the fame ♡♡

[@headfullofmusic422]

yeeees

[@seanknox8962]

Couldn't agree more

[@sammedhin2151]

I adore her laugh so full of joy and innocence!! Shes like a big child full of wonder. we need more singers like her!

[@annamanansala2773]

❤

[@tadchifamba4639]

Not gonna lie, for like the first 20 seconds of the video I thought she had pet ducks. Then slowly realized he said dogs... lmao!

[@yolaa23]

Me too!! LOL!

[@OooStaciooO]

Me too!!

[@camrynrell3732]

Same !!

[@davidespinoza4411]

OMFG I thought they were talking about ducks until I saw this comment!

[@aaliyahterry1821]

OMG me too hahah

[@HelgaCavoli]

Wow, a genuine person, not living a grand fantasy of fame and luxuries. I like her more every day.

[@hrishirajsingh8104]

Her voice is a blessing to human ears.

[@danielhenriquedearaujo4336]

her laugh make me wanna laugh together hahahha

[@AGthaKING]

I can't believe people are hating on this brilliant artist. Not only is she a great singer but she's beautiful and down to earth. We need more celebrities like Sia, with a real voice and not singing over a computer and getting assistance.

[@StringofVulgarities]

What a sweet, charming woman. And what a great laugh she has! I wish more mainstream artists would take a page out of her book.

[@deselby9448]

she definitely made the right choice to stop showing her face. I support her decision 100% to not show her face.

[@stiggyh]

why ?

[@niaking5691]

People keep criticizing her because she's 'different.' I'm glad she isn't showing her face anymore and just singing her heart out. It's good because she won't have to deal with these comments anymore in the future.

[@chloelattanzi6839]

i see you aren't showing your face either. thanks for sparing us. you have proven you are also ugly on the inside

[@mazhender6077]

What you said is ugly. Sia is beautiful.

[@mazhender6077]

That's a matter of opinion.

[@unbiased786]

Bloody hell. My first exposure to SIA in an interview. Amazing down to earth personality. Wow now i understand why the eccentric behaviour. Amasing singer Amasing voice Amazing bubbly personality

[@bricet.5646]

Sia is amazing! I'd love to know her on a personal level... I feel like we'd be great friends, we could swing from chandeliers together...

[@haakongerhard-lihaug358]

omg that was too funny!

[@kodablue6271]

Lol hahaha

[@roxanaquintana5965]

I love how natural she is! She is perfect on her own way....

[@lariahthomas302]

Sia is a beatiful woman why is she hiding her face she is 100% beatiful why is she hiding her gorgeous face

[@noelsalgado3724]

She doesn't want to be recognized or treated special

[@yourebloodyjokin]

You're missing the point. Her face has nothing to do with her music. To understand, use your ears not your eyes.

[@epictreasure]

***** she is not ugly..

[@lariahthomas302]

Yall are so obnoxious

[@tcyroger]

In an interview she said she doesn't want to get recognized and she doesn't want people to judge her.

[@applebritta]

The more I learn about Sia the more I love her. It is so awesome that she is able to be completely comfortable in herself herself and not try to be anything else.

[@rjnash2610]

Clearly you were drunk or under the influence when making that comment. By HIDING her face from the world throughout the majority of her career she literally did the complete OPPOSITE of displaying an example of someone that is comfortable in themselves. I mean, even though it took her another 5 years from when this vid was uploaded, she even admitted this herself when she told the world she decided to hide her face as she believed she was ugly (I mean, she was right but we'll never know how much the reveal of her hideousness would have affected her as she showed her face when her career had far fallen from its peak). Oh and to top it off, that awkward irritating noise she makes so often that may resemble a laugh to some... wow, I've never wanted to scramble my brain through an ear with a wire clothes hanger so much! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- (She has written/performed some epic awesome pieces over the years for sure though).

[@DeborahBergenbeaderreader]

She is an amazing human being..after I watched this, I was inspired to write a song. My husband said it gave him chills. I love she is an amazing artist, beautiful, humble creature of habit!

[@monicagabrielanietomayer6794]

She is just so down to earth ,i love her shows and her vibe is just great

[@cimmerianfable]

Finally a singer who looks like a real and approachable human being 🤍

[@ihaskitty1012]

She's so adorable

[@jesterlyspacepolice6811]

I love Sia's voice both while singing and talking. I especially love her childish personality. It makes her... well, *her!* She is a true rockstar and a super important role in my life. I love you, Sia! Keep being awesome!

[@lavonaffair]

The honesty and humanity of this beautiful lady is so encouraging. Thank you for your wonderful voice and amazing music. I hope life pays you back in full.

[@headfullofmusic422]

she seems like an high sensitive person :) kindred spirit, genuine. authenticity that is great

[@btkooki644]

She's beautiful the way she is

[@mossyrockk]

Oh man she's just so lovely and genuine

[@penelopeashe9385]

She is such a beautiful human being in and out omfg she is just amazing I just want to hug her so hard 😂❤

[@coenpost99]

Dit is wat je krijgt uit oprechte interviewers en oprechte artiesten die zichzelf zijn, Sia is echt niet uit op fame en erkenning. Das echt gaaf om te zien!

[@JamirraHope]

I love Sia. Im a little hard of hearing and i watched that whole damn interview thinking she was saying Ducks and that she was walking her ducks around New York and I was like this woman is a artistical genius and she walks ducks!!!! Then I saw comment about dogs and was like oh....

[@cosmicgoddess5085]

I also thought she was saying "ducks"!

[@amitsood5776]

So rare to find a pop star who is just being herself. Amazing lady who makes amazing music.

[@Louis83TV]

She's absolutely sweet and adorable. Real humble

[@welshh4wk951]

Thought she said ducks at first lol

[@jackytwilightfan]

Same omg

[@welshh4wk951]

jackytwilightfan I'm sure he asks her about bring her ducks on tour! I played it over and over and I'm sure he says ducks

[@blackstar0000000]

SAME lol

[@Al-kb2xl]

I’m a New Zealander and even i did. She’s from Adelaide though they sound different

[@Tutterzoid]

Me three :)

[@davidbmixing]

It's kinda funny to watch this now, almost 4 years later when she has now released what's going to be one of the biggest hits of 2014 (and an absolute Pop music masterpiece). Hell, she will be on Ellen tomorrow. Crazy.

[@EllenaJHumm-ux5no]

She is such an inspirational woman, so down to earth

[@namratadas4574]

I think she's one of the most talented singers in the industry. I think she's pretty badass! Go Sia!

[@RiakkteR4]

I love her laugh.

[@sophiejane5045]

She is beautiful inside and out. So talented. What a breath of fresh air. WAY more interesting that the typical manufactured puppets that make it in "music" business . Sia is the real deal. So humble. True artist. Love

[@hottieboi1982]

I'm "in love" with Sia ! She is so real & interesting , more importantly bloody talented ...she is a rare diamond today's music world ..

[@robbie9459]

I love how most artists get so offended when you compare them to other artists but Sia just loves it and finds it flattering. She's so cool and easy going.

[@suryaprakash90777]

she is really gorgeous... her voice, her laugh so natural I can hear this small video interview all the day without getting bored... also she resembles me of my loved one...

[@suryaprakash90777]

usually I do not like to comment publicly on the beauty of a woman...but Sia you are really gorgeous, blessed with genuine beauty and a great voice...

[@alyssasantos6340]

I believe everything about her is beautiful. Her personality, her voice, and overall persona. We need more artists and people like her in this world. She's amazing.

[@libzkj146]

She's such a wonderful person

[@eloiseblackburn895]

I have to say,in my opinion,there is no one like Sia. She is truly unique in every way. When I hear hear sing,I know right away it is her. Her songs are amazing. She is a truly talented singer,and I love her.

[@k91221]

I really love this girl ....she's so real !!

[@Aythe1]

Just love Sia! She seems so kind and kinda shy; love her music, I can relate so much :-) Her music touches the heart and soul.

[@lucylikeslollies]

Okay, people calling her ugly - how awful are you? How can you call someone ugly when you don't even know them, I personally think she is pretty and even then looks do not matter. Her personality could be beautiful, her voice is and her music is. Someone who degrades a person on their looks hiding behind their computer screen is the lowest kind of person. Its just plain cruel, how would you like someone calling you ugly and you don't even know who they are? its just pathetic, she doesn't like showing her face when singing and its no wonder with idiots like you commenting about her looks instead of whats important: her music.

[@germanylicious]

I don't think she is ugly nor weird at all! People are so stupid! I think she has a very authentic real Aura about her. Very genuine, human and real! I call her solid!

[@germanylicious]

and you don't have to be Beyonce. I think these rude and disrespectful Comments reflects People's own ugly Personality more than it does say anything out about Sia.

[@jcefalo2001]

Agreed. Her personality is so wonderful, I honestly can't see anything past it.

[@May-te2vh]

Wtf do u mean how can u call a person ugly without knowing them? Looks have nothing to do with who she is. She can be sweet but her physical appearance has nothing to do with who she is . Get it straight .

[@alexlourette7353]

Why do people care what she looks like looks have nothing to do with what she does she's a singer n songwriter what does looks have to do with that Nothing and everyone's idea of beautiful is different so no one should be judging people's looks leave the girl alone maybe this is why she hides her face now cause stupid people saying shes ugly n she is not

[@Quinn82]

I just looove the sound of her voice😍

[@DoneilWilliams]

I love this woman. She is extremely wonderful. Her voice is heart melting. You go Sia!!! Kepp the good work up.

[@siasue8396]

I love her laugh! It's so bubbly hahaha

[@gabriellenegrillo1100]

Some people feel that Sia is weird. But think about it. The images that pop stars and celebrities put out there is something that people work so hard to meet. They strive to meet those standards and yet they can't. They make it seem as if they are perfect people. Beautiful/handsome all the time and Sia is exactly the opposite. She is so real and down to earth. Like everyone else is. She is telling girls out there in the world that you don't have to be this beautiful, skinny girl to be famous. She doesn't set this standard for people to meet. She doesn't want to be famous for her image, her body, or her face. She wants her amazing voice to be the focus. That is what I admire about her.

[@sergueygonzalez1]

She is so adorable sooo natural I love ppls like that

[@xandermansmom1]

She is so cute. A talented singer and writer of lyrics. Love her!

[@225deru]

She's is an absolute sweetheart 💖 💕 💓 💗 ❤

[@Richtofenfan]

ironically this channel is named face culture

[@okyesterday9348]

XD

[@insignis5830]

Mr. Spaps That's the point

[@isforme2789]

First time saw her face 😮 she looks so friendly, open and just lovely and her giggle is so contagious.

[@gad6373]

She's absolutely amazingShe said she's easily flattered and that's Why you can see her laughing on top of her voice this is definitely beautiful.

[@bardan101]

I was drowning in her personality so much that i just realised i subconsciously ignored her face throughout the whole interview.

[@Cereuslycactus]

Being a man I cannot understand why so many people (mainly guys) are so infatuated with defining beauty by what they see. As a person who is new to hearing her music and getting to know who she is, I deeply admire who she is. It takes a really strong person to overcome the obstacles she has faces and defeated. It is awesome seeing someone living a dream and daring to be unique even in the midst of criticism on multiple fronts. I hope she stays clean and continues on with her talent to be even more successful. Sia is truly a beautiful person!

[@KatorAbaagu]

I've always loved Sia's music but I just fell in love with her person!

[@mggz71]

She is such a down to earth person. Just pure talent.

[@SEB12578]

cute face, cute voice, cute hands... and so charming girl and so natural. I love her.

[@LiveLoveSingPray]

what a smart, adorable human being. shit.

[@hhara5327]

Just a great person! A real artist! Love and appreciate her even more! Respect Sia!

[@KeithProctorArtist]

She is honest and real , makes a nice change... fantastic singer

[@hitchslap8802]

I just learned of her existence because of the Grammy Awards (2015) and I think she's beautiful, incredibly talented, intelligent, and as original as it gets.

[@ann_banan13]

Shes so unique and down to earth! Her laugh also reminds me of Jennifer Lawrence

[@nneomao.7351]

Her laughter is contagious and cute😍

[@frankj8478]

She is genuine, she is better than a pop star, the best singer and composer and so real.

[@wexfordam]

Aah i love her weirdness and laugh and think from reading the comments this is why she doesn't like beeing in public eye comments as she is not pretty. It's sicking that that's all people care about are looks. I think she is very pretty and has a great personalty

[@LilacShadowsAj]

Agreeded. I dont care that she might not be the prettiest star. If she has good music, i will listen to her music without caring about her looks. :3

[@noodleluv101]

I agree, I can't believe all the rude and inappropriate comments here. This is why people like her are afraid to show their face because they don't want to be judged.

[@wexfordam]

Exactly it's all about the music she is very gifted singer and song writer.

[@germanylicious]

I agree! I don't think she is ugly or weird at all! I like her! I'd prefer to hang with her any day over Rihanna for example. And I like Rihanna's Music a lot. But Sia is real!

[@MilesLover03]

she seems so sweet, I love Chandelier

[@pmacksmith2167]

I think she is incredible and unique..love people like this..breath of fresh air and so talented..blown away by Chandelier video!!

[@HeenaAkbar]

Omg !! She's adorable 😍 I love the way she speaks and her voice is awwwwwwww

[@sueelliott8403]

Poor Sia, she just hated doing that! You could feel the nervous energy and awkwardness, She has the most amazing voice and song writing talent. Keeping it real.
