Makes a staggerin' fortune from writing songs - takes her about 20 mins. with a guy at the piano. Beyonce, Rihanna, Aguillera, etc. bidding for the songs.

Karaoke singers the lot of them. When I were a lad only real talented singers became famous. Now any Tom, Dick or Harriett can make a record or get on telly. Crazy

That's so very true tmm.

How can you compare today's garbage on The Voice with the likes of Ella, Dusty, Judith Durham etc. Tom Jones thinks they're rubbish, I'm sure but wants to remain popular.

How many songs did those artists actually write Kenny? I like them all but Sia is a brilliant writer and indeed performer in her own right.

Sia - Day Too Soon


Croaky noices coming from her throat, and strangled vowels which seems to have been the "way" to sing for quite a while.

Her tits are decent though.

No idea if they were songwriters or not mate.

I'm basing my opinion on their voices.

Might be a brilliant writer but I found her performance boring.
When I listen to a singer it never enters my head whether they wrote the song or not, I'm just interested in the performance.

She has a unique voice and style, is a prolific songwriter, used to be in a very good band and has crackin' charlies - what's not to like here...??

Joe Pasquale has a unique voice but I wouldn't want to hear him sing.
BTW I remember the same hype with Duffy.
Not saying they aint okay singers just not the best.

She is always thinking creatively too - like the fluorescent paper costumes she and her band wore on the Jools Holland Show...and the dance video with the kid...the signing she did on the Letterman show...one of the few singers who really does deliver better live performances than studio stuff...

I' sure there were plenty of old fogeys in the 60's moaning that the Beatles, Stones, Aretha etc weren't "proper" music.

Not much good if you're listening on the radio or to a cd.

I wouldn't even put her top of the tree with the current lot.
Poor argument eeter.

Jeez.....if it's a voice you lot really want to hear y'all better go and listen to Maria Callas 'cos she's on a different planet than Dusty, Ella, etc...of course, she didn't write her own music either...Laugh

But...a singer like that is only born once every hundred years...

A lot of the singers from back in the day couldn't hold a tune in a bucket. If Dylan had started his cauterwauling anywhere he wasn't feted they would have emptied the contents of chamber pots on his head and yet he was the voice of a generation. Springsteen was the voice of another generation and live he often looked and sounded like he had terrible piles.

By the way I'm not comparing Sia to those tunesmiths. Just sticking up for the fact that she is a talented artist in her own right.

Not a patch on Lady Ga Ga. Now she IS talented although a bit of an oddball.
By:

When: 30 Mar 15 23:08
I agree with Eternaloptimist - this woman has had serious mental health problems - and other health issues - but she has worked her way up for years...Sia Furler is not any kind of overnight sensation...she is a genuine "one off" - I'd compare her to Kraftwerk as she is not writing conventional love sings - she is a pop genius IMO, who is producing songs with odd structures.

The problem is Vel that I listen to most of my music whilst driving so the performance of the singer other that the voice is irrelevant.
What proportion of the population go to gigs, small I'd guess.
So it's like apples and oranges. I'm only interested in the voice you want the whole package. Fine.
People I like I could listen to an album, with her I couldn't.
By:
Eeternaloptimist
When: 30 Mar 15 23:10
Exactly. No disrespect to GAGA but she is a bit of a style Madonna wannabe with a few decent songs. You'll be citing Katy Perry next Kenny. Sia is a one off.

Pink is another very talented writer when she isn't writing maudling semi country shiit to which she is unsuited.
By:

Anyone who can hold a stage with Tony Bennett's perfect pitch, has to be talented, and that's what Ga Ga does.

I love Pink.
By:

Duffy was a one off and I couldn't listen to her too often.
It's all about taste. You obviously see a lot more in Sia than I do.
So what doesn't make you right or wrong, nor me.
BTW Vel all that back ground stuff is what would turn me off talent shows.

I'm not familiar with Pink's voice though, but what she does with her life.

She could sit on my face and warble all day if she liked and she wouldn't even need to have a bath the night before.

Yer attitude is all wrong, Aka - think of football - Davie Cooper and Gazza weren't conventional footballers...Silly

Sia has got a touch of oddball genius about her - she is quite a childlike person, hence you see her getting so excited at the end of concerts. I don't see any problem with her voice either, though, as the lady singing teacher shows, she has a strange singing style, cutting off the consonants in words.
By:

"Davie Cooper was all left foot...nae pace...!" Grin

No point concentrating on faults when the good points are so obvious.
