Sia - Chandelier (Live on SNL)

[@Wintersolddat]

Her voice cracks sounds so BEAUTIFUL!

[@brandonle6236]

Maybe that explain why she has a cover in front of her eyes

[@joeshittheragman6252]

Some artists suffer from crippling stage fright. It can kill a career

[@neilpatrickhairless]

She doesn't like being bothered in her personal life, hence the attempt to conceal her face / ghostwriting etc.

[@neilpatrickhairless]

This is the best performance of hers of this song FWIW... Read that she was crying before during and after this.

[@lordfezerellii]

It's actually a condition many singers and rock stars suffer from

I love her. She is so unique , original, and powerful.

[@juliarunn5009]

As a deaf person, watching the sign language interpreter was phenomenal. He didn’t translate the lyrics word for word, he showed the underlying emotion of the song through sign. That’s one of the most amazing things about translating songs into sign, you see another layer of the song’s emotion in how one chooses to translate it.

[@gaminwithjayden]

True

[@mully4945]

[@ArabianSoldier7MF]

This was beautiful to read, opened mind big time. Thanks for sharing your perspective♥

[@S.A.9152]

Thank you so much for educating me on the translator. I watched him and wondered why his hands didn't do the same signs for the same words sometimes. I didn't realise how diverse sign was. Honestly stunning.

[@ConGamePro]

I’m learning ASL at the moment and I noticed that he wasn’t signing every word but I hope someday I can sign songs like this, although, I don’t know if could keep the tears back.

[@bungobear5733]

She has the most beautiful voice ive ever heard. The way it splits and cracks soaked in emotion which some may perceive as imperfections actually make it raw and unique. Perfect. A famous Mancunian once said: "True perfection has to be imperfect, I know that that sounds foolish but its true" I agree.

[@jacket6139]

Her, sam smith, ed Sheeran. They were like a golden age of singers during the 2010s or whatever it was

[@TyCorr]

Shes definitely doing that to switch from chest to head to falsetto…. It’s awesome. We do similar things on guitar if we are jumping up an octave or two. It kinda masks the non linear parts from ears. Its not that you cant be fluid across changes but it creates a pulse or rhythm in the shapes. Clever if nor cunning skill.

[@brendo69rock92]

Her and Karen Carpenter for me!

[@g00gdobb3ers7]

I agree and it’s funny because for me I actually really love this song because of that part where her voice does that, it gives it so much more emotion and flavor, it does so much more for the song to me.

[@bderrick4944]

Didn’t expect an Oasis reference here so that’s cool

[@shuggyy]

I don't understand how her voice breaks can sound so good.

[@matijabudimirovic3064]

shuggarush it's better with breaks

[@donkeyears4704]

it's that passion. when you hear it, the vocal breaks become less of a sign of limitation and more of an expression of feeling. sia is a powerfully emotional singer.

[@Kabitu1]

She's a goddamn genius to even come up with such a weird concept, and finding a guy that can pull it off and make it sincere and not gimmicky in the slightest. A voice without face and a face without voice, hauntingly beautiful.

[@1thaleb]

Kabitu1 yes she's a genius. Musical maestro. Singing song-writing performing. I am stunned by her abilities which were hidden to me for too long (I fell asleep until a month ago)

[@tonylowman8242]

Loneliness is a wonderful thing….. self reflection is exactly what loneliness means…. Fix the things you are able to….. pray for the things you can’t. The fact that you identify with this song….. tells me enough….. We all have our demons…. I pray you overcome the ones that haunt you…..

This is why I love Sia. Completely stripped down, this performance is full of raw emotion. I have so much respect for her it's unreal. I don't really know what else to say that can suitably justify my admiration and complete awe for this woman. She is definitely underrated

[@bfitz1373]

Totally. For all the people who think she is a "new" artist, they should go and purchase her whole back catalogue, take a day off work, get some tissue, and discover a genius at work. She's raw, she's real!! Its gotta feel amazing knowing you are doing exactly what you were brought to the planet to do!! Go Sia!!

[@instagamrr]

I agree, this just sounds so beautiful, hard to believe it's live.

[@jellybee123]

I love how you say it is all stripped down and she still has a string ensemble and a piano to accompany her. Though I really liked this version.

Guys I would be very happu if u didnt mind and listened to my new ELASTIC HEART cover. I love singing very much. Thank u for the support and please subscribe :* LOVE YOU

[@MariaMartinez-ou7lj]

When I watch this video it brings me to tears, she has a beautiful voice and you can feel the pain. But what really got me was that mime signing the song, you can see the emotion translated onto his face and for me that's what made this 10 times more emotional

[@MariaMartinez-ou7lj]

nkpytelzhor actually from what i've read when translating ASL not everything is exact and so some words/meanings can be done differently. Plus i just really want to learn ASL so i understand him and not just her voice in general.:)

[@Jlm7908]

the way she bears down and lets it rip at 2:49. i’ve rarely heard anyone sing in such a raw and powerful way

[@mandevillesisters]

Even though I love Maddies dance, I still think this is such an unique but beautiful way of expressing her song, she's never afraid to experiment! -A,x

[@rhirhidoi6820]

[@kendyladney9938]

I feel like Maddie brought more life to the song though...just my opinion

[@mikamichelina5633]

kendyl adney True, but this is a more acoustic version of chandelier. I feel the connection and feeling to the song a lot more than in the original. I still love the original, don't get me wrong. But the violins and piano are really pretty

[@stasigarraway2337]

Great song about addiction and depression. The pain in her voice brings me to tears. The mime added that big emotional punch to the gut.

[@BradleyReacts]

Yes

[@sebmultichickenlover6046]

SignLanguage Boy woah. great work. what was it like working with her?

[@GoldieHoffmanComedian]

SignLanguage Boy You are absolutely amazing and incredibly inspiring. I'm not a musician but actually a comedian and actress, but I absolutely love music, dance, and heartfelt open art - especially, darker, sadder/melancholic pieces (hah as odd as that might sound given what I do). I'm also a linguaphile and have learned a few languages. You've inspired me to study ASL. (As for mime, I did a bit in theatre school, and loved it, especially our mime exam where we had to tell a story to music, but my skills left much to be desired, lol.) Anyway, kudos, and thank you for your performance. Brings me to tears and I love rewatching it. Best of luck and success pursuing your dreams, and maybe one day our paths will cross. :)

Second, to pass judgement along to others for having feelings just goes to show you that you yourself have no feelings, and to find that you should go Fuck yourself to feel something.

He isn't a mime. He's an ASL interpreter, and a darned good one.

[@akaSlasher]

It is not "political correctness" to suggest that a trained, expert, experienced professional be described as such. It is, at best, willful ignorance to dismiss this specialist as a mere actor, a trivial stage performer. It is akin to describing an Army general as a Ritz Hotel doorman. There's nothing un-PC about my username. "a.k.a. Slasher" is a nickname I was given in the early '80s by a well-known science fiction novelist in joking reference to people who were too humor-impaired to see a joke right in front of them. On rare occasion my nom d'utilisateur will be noticed by somebody who was in on the joke way back then. Sadly, the numbers of us who remain are falling steadily.

Dylan Scott... She doesn't hide her face because of Graves' disease. She hides her face because she hates fame and wants to live a simple life. There are plenty of interviews with her explaining this.

[@7candygrl]

Jeff Spicoli I've also heard it's because she doesn't want fame but isn't she getting even MORE attention because of covering her face? It's been in the entertainment news, people (like us) keeping talking about it and trying to figure out why she does it? She's a wonderful singer and performer but I think covering her face isn't helping her cause if it's to stay "low key and under the radar."Just a though.

[@MISSKAY202]

This is beautiful the visual interpretation of her lyrics through some form of physical movement, the idea to bring sign language into a somber performance and having the interpreter dress as a mime is truly inspiring.

[@fatima-me6fp]

Sia is an extra ordinary woman. I do not believe a random person can go on stage and sing a song this good with no auto tune and all that jazz. She's magic.

[@starlitblond]

I totally agree!

[@kenh.8818]

i think you should watch singers from The Philippines.. especially at the WISHclusive Bus 1075 , its in youtube also..

[@mychannel8809]

rii and such raw emotion with it too

[@ebenclukey7293]

Actually up until a few years ago everyone sang without auto tune. There are millions of amazing voices on this planet.

The sign language was such a masterpice to be honest. I loved the assortment of people she screamed through in one performance. Her time and vocal ability will always be a must have. Love you Sia. ❤❤

[@kennethhansen2946]

Who are these 4.8K people without a soul? This is triple amazing: 1) Sia sings so beautifully in real life. How many hit-singers of today can really do that? 2) This is such a beautiful song. It stands the ultimate test. No electronics. Just a singer, a piano and violins. 3) The mime..... No words. Just utterly moved. A godgiven talent!

people nowadays think that they are enjoying artist with beautiful face but with horrible voice but in fact, every one miss the sound of a real artist and this is what sia came to do, she came to remind us that there is still good singers that can do catchy songs with real and honest message not like nowadays' singers that only talk in their songs about money and sex

[@sofiarodriguez8a]

Even though I thinks she's beautiful inside and outside I hate that people are just focussing in what her face look like or why is she covering her face. She has a marvelous voice and she is an incredibly song writer. Focus on the art people what matters inside. She is a true artist, and has been in the music industry for many years.
