A new video is coming - not sure for which song, but comments seem to be pointing toward "Big Girls Cry." I hope this gets the single treatment!!!

OT question first but is the song "Elastic Love" or (heart) forgot the title, originally sung by Sia? I believe it may be a bonus on her latest cd. I Love it and I can't place where I originally heard it.

Sure, why not re-release a year and a half old song as a single?

YES!!!!!!!
I have no objections to this whatsoever. It didn't get the chance it deserved when it was originally released, similar to P!nk's 'Who Knew'. This is one of my all-time favorites. I'm so excited for this.

Yeah, just continue paying The Weeknd dust like she did on the version that appeared on her album and I'll be cool with this. Song gets me so amped STILL.

So she'll do this and "Chandelier"? With Maddie on both?
Either way, I hope the Grammy performance is still of "Chandelier."

The video has done wonders for the track on iTunes- currently at No. 23.
She probably will do both on SNL. And there have been medleys on the Grammys, so she could do both there, too. Shouldn't the performance lineup have been announced already?

I would prefer a Chandelier performance. That song needs its own time in the spotlight. This track is nowhere near as good.

She has had to apologize for the video, due to cries of pedophilia. I think it's time to replace Maddie at this point.

I didn't see anything that would be deemed pedophilia, but Twitter is filled with sick people with twisted minds that will find and create a fault in anything. It reminded me of an episode of The United States of Tara where her various "selves" were warring against each other.

I don't think she should replace Maddie. It's not her fault people can't understand the story of father and daughter...

There is nothing remotely sexual about the video. It's certainly uncomfortable (intentionally) but not because of pedophilia.

Yeah, I had read some speculation that the video is about Sia's attempts to get her father out of his depression (as she was able to get out of hers). If that's true, then this video has a very tragic undertone.

Sia confirmed that Maddie and Shia both represent her in the video - two "Sia self states".

Amazing song. Very artistic on many levels. I can't turn away from the video because its so odd. I keep hearing she sounds like someone else and no she doesn't she can sing, she can emote and that other person hasn't emoted since ever.
Love her tone and love the picture she paints with her video and music.

I finally watched the video. There is nothing even remotely pedophiliac about it - like, not even close. It was interesting but I just want her to try a completely different concept/style for the next video.

I'm curious what they'll do after this peaks. I know she tweeted that Big Girls Cry was the next single, but she also told Spin at the end of last year that she had two full albums in the can already and wanted "2015 to look like it's just been fucked." I think Big Girls Cry would struggle in Summer, and would almost prefer they either jump straight into the next era, or take a break until Q3 or Q4 after Elastic Heart.
If this doesn't do well, they could quickly get BGC out there by Spring. This is taking off sales and streams-wise really quickly, but probably wouldn't peak on radio until what, late February or March?

I'm shocked, amazed and concerned why people think that the video has something to do with pedophilia. It makes me so sad that some people can't appreciate art.

See my post a few ones above. For the record, I never said I AGREED with the pedophilia cries. I was just giving info. I stand by the fact that I want someone other than Maddie in her videos going forward, if it's not going to be her. This whole interpretative dance as seen through a preteen is getting old for me. I get what she is trying to do but doesn't mean I need to see it for 3 straight videos.
