    I'm sure somebody loves it (and good for those who do), but to me it sounds ultra generic, like something was made by a computer.

    Sia has one, if not the best, voices in the business Brian.

    I'm sure she has a great voiced- it's just generic sounding music to my ears.  Not meant to be a put down, just not the kind of music I enjoy.  I probably should not have said anything.

    No I get it Brian.  It is modern pop, so I get it.

    I happen to enjoy this song though because she is head and shoulders above everyone.

    We all know the best song of the 2010's is "Sirens."

    I FUCKING LOVE SIA! lol. It's true. I collect her vinyl and everytime I'm taking the night off (be that going out with the wife or just having people over to party) I always pull out Sia vinyl.
    I'm guilty of going down the rabbit hole of Sia videos from time to time. She's the quirkiest female singer I've seen in a while and she writes awesome tunes and seems "somewhat" normal. Checks all the boxes for my tastes.

    You have to widen your horizon. Not everything in the world can be late 90s Nu metal.

    She was on my Pandora playlist which is where I discovered her.  When Chandelier came out I was like "I know this Sia name" but the music was very different from what I was introduced to previously.

    Anyone hear her take on the Hamilton Mix tape?

    Amazing.

    Pasty white chick spasms around on floor while screaming. 

    God, it sucks getting old and a bit cynical.  I'm happy for ya'll digging the music though.

    Sia is to the right. 

    The girl dancing is not Sia. She, Maddie, is a girl Sia kept through many of her music videos and incorporated into her live show.

    Chris Cornell would have done an amazing cover of Chandelier.

    No. Not even close.

    Are we using any particular criteria here, other than opinions? It’s a good pop song, but I’m not a fan of Sia’s vocals and there’s nothing too special about the music, so that’s as far as it goes for me.
