I love Sia's music and this album is one of the best albums released in 2014
Unfortunately she was obviously robbed the Song and Record of the Year at the Grammys last night. I can't believe that the people at the Academy think that Stay with me is better than Chandelier, seriously???

Yeah, while Sam is a very talented singer, "Stay With Me" is nowhere near as well-written a song as "Chandelier" or "Take Me To Church," lyrically or melodically.
If only Australians could gain the kind of pull with the Academy that white British soul singers seem to have...

Well, I think Take Me to Church is all over the place melodically and that is where it's biggest weakness lies. I love Chandelier but I don't think it was robbed. All of the songs were deserving.

"I have a full album ready to go and it's much more pop"
Yes, baby, yes!

More pop? awww... I shouldn't complain. I'm not really a purist when it comes to Sia. 1000 Forms Of Fear was a nice mix between her old stuff and her songwriting hits but she's always been pop enough anyway. I wouldn't say no to a new album real soon.

"I have a full album ready to go and it's much more pop" Yes, baby, yes! An album full of Clap Your Hands and Fire Meets Gasoline and Titanium? I could die tbh. Even though I've gotten that fix from her features and liked the separate tone of 1000 Forms, if this means we get her best A-game Pop songs, I'll be 9 copies.

I hope there is another video or two born from this era. I love the album and think her music videos this era have been unique and incredibly creative.
But, I'd also be okay with a new album with similarly stellar videos.

I think Big Girls Cry should be the next single (I think it was supposed to be before they changed it to Elastic Heart, right?). With the video, they can continue the Maddie thing, but maybe another guest star like Shia LaBoeuf. Kristen Wiig maybe? Everyone was talking about how awesome she was at the grammys, and it would make the video go viral.

The good sis Sia might be getting Rebel Hearted right now. Two of them, Hologram and Life Jacket, are Fernando Garibay co-writes. :o

Meanwhile, Sia was interviewed by Kristen Wiig for Interview Magazine. She served serious high fashion for the photo shoot, and I hope she goes with this vibe for This Is Acting, instead of just facing backwards. She talks some about how the blond bob and not showing her face is a deliberate choice, and a gimmick, but I really like how she approaches it. She wants to make pop music when she's 60, let "Sia" be a symbol in the public eye. It's very cool. I can also see her comments about her songwriting confidence being taken poorly. It's not the first time she's expressed it like this, but to me it doesn't come off badly. It's confidence, and she acknowledges that she's probably too proud of her own capabilities in that regard.

I liked it, but I feel like those who are already tired of Sia's "gimmick" (as she calls it), or those who never understood it in the first place are just gonna use the video as an excuse to hate on her even more.
Anyway, Maddie's actually quite a good actress! In all of the videos, she's had to do a lot of acting with her face, and she's pulled it off really well.

Big Girls Cry is my favorite song from the album, so I'm glad to see a video!

"I have a full album ready to go and it's much more pop" Yes, baby, yes! I know I'm late to see this, but I am so stoked at her saying that. 1000 Forms is already her most mainstream album by far, so I can't wait to see how she blows up if she's going full steam mainstream next era. Radio won't be able to deny her much longer I don't think. Bitch gonna be snatching wigs and turning them into Sia bobs next era.

The "Big Girls Cry" video is a boring re-hash of the "Chandelier" choreography Just a close up of Maddie the whole time...this will have limited playback potential. It's a shame each video since "Chandelier" has gotten worse - that really was her peak. Still love the song though.

to be completely honest I'm getting kinda sick of this kind of videos with Sia. this concept has to be used once and ONLY once. I found the BGC video to be very bad and tbh Maddie made me feel so uncomfortable LOVE the song though ... so much
