Sia - Elastic Heart (Live on SNL)

[@yeheyz]

Whenever Sia's voice breaks, I got goosebumps. Not because it sounds bad but she sounds so awesome and when her voice breaks, I can feel her humanity fully. That sounds very deep but that's absolutely what I feel.

[@owie1124]

This song is clearly about Sia's relationship with her mother. IT shows how they would fight, one would win and they would be dragged apart but in the end they would miss each other and get back together. I seriously love this performance. It's probably one of my favourites.

[@daquanrobinson7985]

It was actually with he father 95% sure but you know all the little brats kept calling it pedophile because she was dancing with a grown man. Then Sia apologized and changed everything which she shouldn't have.

Actually, you're both wrong. Do some research, and see how it says they are to Sia personalities. Maddie is the unpredictable one, and the other is the mature one.

It was romoured that Sia used the fact of covering her face as an excuse for doing playback. But when you see her performances live, perfomances like this, and you notice that unique, single moments when her voice breaks and changes because she's actually feeling what she's singing, the lyrics she wrote herself, it's obvious that she's not doing any kind of playback. In fact, she's singing live better than 90% of pop singers today with her face covered than another pop stars, like Rihanna or Katy Perry who actually do playback with their faces discovered, It's pretty sad when you think about it, how much appeareance matters in the pop industry and how controversial can be a singer just for do her thing...and sing.

I simply just don't reply to much of anything online, but I feel this more than important enough to say to you, Caleb, and anyone else who happens across these words: Do it. Eat the crap sandwich and forget saving any face. Call them right now and apologize for whatever might have happened, tell them how much you love them. You don't have to admit being wrong, but let them know that whatever the conflict is, it's not enough to destroy the bond that you should always have as family or friends. With a story too long to delve into here, know that I mean it when I say you WILL regret not taking the time to do it when you have the chance. Imagine how much these very same lyrics will sting when you hear them after it's too late. Cherish is to treasure, and treasure should always be kept safe. Truly cherish all the time that you have with them and let them know that you do appreciate it. Always.

So when it's a woman, it isn't pedophilia, but when Shia does it, it's all of a sudden wrong and pedophilic. The double standards are sad since both videos express the same idea of a broken relationship and I was more moved by Shia's performance due to the emotion he showed.

[@liomxlio]

Hypocritical world...

[@ibizalover2000]

The only ppl who found the video as being pedo were the ones who were touched by their uncle. Their opinion don't really matter. Sia should not have apologised for that. She, on the other hand, should apologise for writing for the biggest asshole in the industry (that eminem if you're still wondering), pretend to be sorry for doing so, and then does it again. Thats a lack of self respect Sia. How could you, after all he says about women and gay ppl? I still love you though Sia.

[@arod2364]

I think that's possibly why they put a woman during this performance, so people can understand the concept of this song and not think of it as pedophilia. She apologized because at the end of the day, that's the mature thing to do since some people were offended by it for whatever reason. People go through different things in life to trigger them in certain ways. I applaud her for handling the situation in the way that she did.

i dont particularly like pop music, but i do with Sia. That 1000 forms of fear album is really deep and shows that pop music can be made out of nightmares, and inner dark matter, which amazes me even to this date, 3 yrs after the release. i also think her live tv appearances have a theatrical quality that deepens the heaviness of her lyrics. Once Morrisey said that his trick with the smiths was to contrast bright and light melodies with heavy emotional content in their lyrics. I think Sia can do the same and i actually think her lyrics have more of a hellish kind of quality. Good for her, shes a real artist

[@TRodge2495]

I remember watching this live, January 17th 2015. First episode off Holiday Hiatus. Favorite sketch was the James Brown one. I remember thinking this dance was super fucking weird. Then right at the end, the older dancer dropped to her knees and started sobbing before reconciling with the younger one. The beauty and passion hit me all at once. Now it just gets better with every viewing. I only found out tonight that the older dancer is from right here in Nebraska. Omaha, 80 miles down the road. Fills me with pride and hope for a future of moving the masses with performance. I'm not this huge Sia fan with all of the albums, but I still fell love and now deeply admire her amazing gift. She's a LIVE singer, and that's a rarity in the mainstream these days.

Hands down one of the best song writers / vocalists off all times🙌🙌

[@MertStr]

Again was impressive as always. I'm happy when I watch the live performance and I thank you for it. I'm proud of you Sia. I would like to see more performance. I would be more happy if Maddie and Shia performance together. Please :)

[@cenkpattinsonist3506]

They are perfect together :D i love them so much

[@sezenylmaz8652]

Her live voice really good

[@JohnSmith-rs3il]

Maddie's dance was amazing :D

[@joannegermanotta5831]

Perfect performance. im crying too at the end :(

[@meryhunter3303]

YYYYAAAASSSS

[@ubonpatrusm1421]

Sia might just be the best female vocalist ever. I'm in love with her music. ALL

[@BraidsByKira]

I swear when her voice cracks it feels like an arrow is being shot through my heart. Its just beautiful.

[@crazymnky99]

this dance got me pretty emotional i teared up a bit

[@coyaxx2770]

SAME!

[@briettapolly5030]

I like how she didn't have her back completely turned this time. This song is great. It came out about a year ago, so I wonder why it's breaking out now.

[@TricksToTheLimit]

The video for elastic heart has just been released. I guess that's why.

[@Chuciuuu]

The Weeknd version is from Catching Fire soundtrack

[@marleymescudi]

The previous version with the Weeknd was only for the Catching Fire soundtrack, Sia stated that she always planned to release this song on her album.

[@crewboi83]

I guess she only really became noticed as an artist after Titanium and Chandelier, and with it being used in the Hunger Games movie.

[@marleymescudi]

crewboi83 Breathe Me was also a pretty huge song for her.

[@pinkybaby796]

Sia is a true artist and the dacers’ expression is just another level. Chapeau for the true three artists!! You guys make me cry literally every time i see this.

[@bananabro8113]

This song has gotten me through some pretty tough times...I must have listened to it a gazillion times! ;) Thank you Sia, for who you are and your amazing talent

[@DaniRoGue]

This performance brings me to tears everytime I watch it. Is so moving and powerful.

[@Yktsa]

So how come when a girl dances with this grown woman, everyone is happy? But when she dances with a man, it creates controversy? People are weird and have dirty minds, seriously!

[@MeagansRandomness]

Couldn't agree more, I didn't think anything about the original was out of the ordinary, but then I read the comments. Never read the comments.

[@midwestemxn]

I totally agree with you. Some people have shallow minds and can only see things in one perspective.

[@Solja88]

Thank you please tell them. Twisted minds. There is nothing sexual about these videos.

[@katieandmeghan902]

You're so right

[@ashtheviking5007]

Juan Jaime Siqueiros Idiot

[@s.sh.4442]

She is an artist...her music, the dance and even her cloth is part of her art

[@JizzyF83]

2:10 those vocals were class

[@dominiccrowder1993]

Jamie Fitz yessss like damn she hit them

[@Gspellholdings]

The seamlessness in her singing strength is just amazing. That one part gives me so much life. Fav part of the performance is that part.

[@angelofdarkness2345]

sometimes with interpretive dance, I have no idea what's going on but I feel their emotions, or the emotions that are supposed to come across

[@KrOmEiFiCaTiOn]

The choreography from 1:00 to 1:20 is absolutely insane. Look at how well both of them, especially the little girl Maddie, keep time.

[@lifestudent9031]

The battle with the self!! So masterful!!

[@memook100]

Listening on 1/1/2020 Words can't explain how much I love her

[@ayaadjie8921]

This dancing performance actually made me cry a little bit. And I'm not one of those "deep-meaning-dances-or-some-shit" kind of people. This performance is beautiful.

[@aka3426]

same!

[@herbertthepervert344]

it doesnt mean shit,

[@TheScropiongirl]

Yeah... me too

[@TheScropiongirl]

Saith Says Leo TheBro​ it's just perspective. Each one has their own view. That's all. Honestly, if I wasn't an art student, I would never know what this art form is..

[@dapperknight3420]

Roslyn Grace I'm not even an art student, but I am an art enthusiast.

[@quilmesdave]

how can I listen to death and black metal, and completely fall in love with this woman singing??

[@imaeshishouzo6484]

And another one bites the dust But why can I not conquer love? And I might've got to be with one Why not fight this war without weapons? And I want it and I wanted it bad But there were so many red flags Now another one bites the dust And let's be clear, I trust no one You did not break me I'm still fighting for peace Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard But I may snap when I move close But you won't see me fall apart 'Cause I've got an elastic heart I've got an elastic heart Yeah, I've got an elastic heart And I will stay up through the night Let's be clear, I won't close my eyes And I know that I can survive I walked through fire to save my life And I want it, I want my life so bad And I'm doing everything I can Then another one bites the dust It's hard to lose a chosen one You did not break me (You did not break me, no, no) I'm still fighting for peace Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard But I may snap when I move close But you won't see me fall apart 'Cause I've got an elastic heart Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard But I may snap when I move close But you won't see me fall apart 'Cause I've got an elastic heart Well I've got thick skin and an elastic heart But your blade it might be too sharp I'm like a rubber band until you pull too hard But I may snap when I move close But you won't see me fall apart 'Cause I've got an elastic heart

[@blackcherry941]

Thanks for the lyrics❤️

[@Ryan-og3xq]

I love the transition from intentional breaks to buttery smooth runs 🥰 she’s just exceptional

[@jaii4277]

why she name herself sia, when we can't even sia.

[@SantiagoHernandez-km2cy]

L

[@samj5566]

I'm going to need u to take this L sorry 😂👎🏾

[@carlos_tlou]

+Brien Malik hahahahaha +1

[@vbegay2002]

Her real name is maddie Ziegler she was from dance moms

[@stto9796]

lmao 😂😂😂

[@mrgoodbar991]

Notice how she uses a woman instead of a man to represent the parent, because people are so limited in how they see relationships between a man and girl/woman.

[@claracalathea]

i imagine shia wasn't available. the two represent 2 sides of herself.

[@THEDOORIZCLOSED]

Well im sure she cant just pluck out Shia whenever she performs this song. However his performance is a million times better

[@mokachyna22]

Change Of Direction I’m sure SNL made that call.

[@WinstonTLW]

And rightly so

[@chanie85]

Men hold most pedophilia history and no matter how sad it is its true... I lf this doesnt anything I wish the world doesn't have to be on high alert of this shut anymore, it happens too much. That video was beautiful, people going through this shit and feeling like they are looking at something they have been through should not be ignored. It wasnt the video, its the damaged oppression too many people go through becauee they have experienced it and no one knows how it feel or what its like to go through something like that... Both situations make me cry because we all know of someone who has experienced mental health problems and a victim of sexual molestation. I hope we can create a world where people can look at art like this and not think of some awful shit they have been through.

[@jasonrosenburg9172]

I'm a grown ass man. I listen to heavy metal. This woman's voice, and this song in particular, make me cry like a baby.

[@SHALAt22]

One of the greatest voices of all time.

[@staceyweber7641]

Sia is absolutely unbelievable. I didn't know who was singing the song on six feet under finale and it was her and she is so underrated she is so powerful I just love her love love love her I don't even have a word for her she is so amazing

[@oguerrero031280]

I like how she does not move, she lets her voice shine alone.

[@amonstrwthn]

One of the artists I have the deepest respect for. Absolutely stunning in terms of creativity, emotional depth, and the ability to create a pure resonance with almost any listener. Always love you, Sia. The champion of everyone who feels too different in an overwhelming, obliterating sea of sameness. Thank you.

[@LuisHernandez-ux5jo]

my god I love this version so much... the part from 1:57 to 2:11 just makes me cry every time, such a beautiful voice I just can't handle it haha

[@Anonymouso283]

2:44 - 3:02 is my favorite part. Just the instrumental and Sia moving her head and shit makes me happy as hell, I can’t explain it!

[@rbwood1978ify]

Sia’s voice is one of the most beautiful elements of our time

[@DixyNourmes]

There will never be another voice like hers... you don't hear nobody comparing her to someone else. A real ARTist is unique..

[@thespeedracer5772]

This is pure, elite art & perhaps the most powerful singular performance in SNL history...

[@sparkerfivethousand1374]

I love this woman's sound it's absolutely beautiful ❤️

[@Sulithegoat.]

SAUDI ARABIA LOVES YOU SIA

[@Sulithegoat.]

Feiruza_ Abdelkadir if its haram , why are you watching it? ☺

[@hermannkateri2120]

[@norahtouaiti4700]

suliman alangri i agree :* mouch haram!

[@MrNawaftalal]

Yes !!

[@norahtouaiti4700]

:)

[@brendamendonca8690]

This song mean so much to me. I cried so many times listening to it, i cried when i first saw this performance the dancers were just so deep and meanful, it touched me in so many ways, i see my life in this song, i passed throgh a hard time, i can clearly remember everything i felt, what i thought, the long nights without sleep, thinking about not give up, today i'm stronger than ever, i'm proud of me, and this songs made me company for so long... this is the song of my life. thanks Sia for this masterpiece.

[@bananabro8113]

Sia is such an amazing, amazing singer. Her songs are raw, touching, authentic. And her voice alone is enough to make her an international super star. And she co-sang with artists in so many great songs...

[@souravkhanna6636]

After this vdo was posted my 2018 is saved, my skin is clear, my grades are better, my hairs got shine, my heart is warm, all my problems are solved, I found peace and happiness n I love u @sia 💛.

[@shirin3634]

can we appreciate the fact that she sounds so good on live unlike quite a lot of singers

[@Atohmic2003]

0:05 out of context, he just sounds like he's saying 'see ya' very aggressively 🤣

[@oluwatobiaikomo2848]

See ya!

[@Anonymouso283]

2:48 Man, that is some great instrumental with Sia’s beautiful voice to back it up.

[@ana-tn6kg]

Ela consegue através dessa música transmitir uma emoção q nem consigo explicar ❤

[@11Garrett11]

Beyond words ❤

[@gavjones8647]

Was totally transfixed on the 2 dancers.. They were a heartbeat of the song and the heart was elastic... Great singing.. Great song.. Great dancing.. Great job

[@badlandscrybaby4555]

I love when Maddie hides behind Sia ❤

[@ghost27rsr]

Sia has a beautiful voice. one of the most underrated singer of all times. Still listening 2018.
