Is this not showing her face thing a gimmick? I know I read here she didn't want to promote due to not wanting to be in the limelight. However showing up and performing/promoting on a talk show is just going to want to get people to see your face. Besides she was already on "The Voice" and that gets about 12 mill viewers an episode. I think it's real and genuine. She seems to have a reasonable understanding that people can find out what she looks like, but she also doesn't want her face broadcast everywhere/in magazines, etc. At the very least, I'm interested to see how many ways she can come up with to not show her face without it seeming completely out of place. Well this will get attention:

This vocal is clearer but less raw than on Ellen. Is she really singing while laying face down?!

I enjoyed that performance. I wanted to see her face at the end when she turned her body around, but she kept her face hidden.

That was so odd. I also wonder if she was really singing face down or if she just recorded a live track and had it play. The 2nd option makes a lot more sense but is really a cop out. It gets people talking, though.

This performance is trending on Facebook. I know the suggestions are targeted to each individual, but it means people are watching it in big enough numbers for it to make it.

That was one of the stupidest performances I've ever seen. So tired of this schtick from her. Just stand on stage and sing and get over yourself.

I really thought it wasn't serious, and that Lena Dunham was an over-the-top comedian. :X
Vocals better than Ellen though!

It's pretty obvious she wasn't singing live.

Heard this for the first time a few days ago...one of the best pop songs to come out in a while. I hope it continues to do well. Just sounds very fresh.

They definitely tried to make it look like she sang live though. Like, her back was flexing like she was singing and you could see some equipment/a speaker at one point under the bed.
This is actually doing well on Itunes-higher than most songs around it that are gaining more.

That performance is one for the books! I laughed, cried, and fetched the meaning of life in less than five minutes. Slay on, Sia!

That performance... I haven't felt this kind of secondhand embarrassment since the Oprah Show; when Oprah had a musical guest and tried to lip synch the song but didn't know the lyrics...you're like omg, stop it. Hilarious Still love the song though.

Live or not, that performance got the song noticed. She has sung live flawlessly countless times before so it's not like she is trying to perpetuate some fraud.
I am so addicted to the song right now. It's so amazing. Easily one of the best songs of the year.

Even if the shtick is working for her and for Chandelier, I hope she cuts it off asap. If she doesn't want to show her face, if she wants the music to speak for itself, if she doesn't want to be a mainstream artist, well, cut the crap. Go back to being a indie artist and release your music without promoting it on talk shows on national television.
I admire Sia, I really do. She's one of the best songwriters in the game right now IMO, she's got such a unique way of writing a pop song no one comes close to it. But I find this album's promotion to be really hypocritical. You either want to be a mainstream pop artist or you don't, there's no middle ground, don't bother going to a talk show and sing to help your song get traction and sell more copies if you're going to do it with you head inside a paperbag.

good lord she is so extra, but I kind of dig it? I think I would've liked it better if she just ditched the dancer and sang the whole thing lying face down on the bed like it was nothing.
