She wears the hair in front of her face so u can’t SIA

She told Ellen(I believe it is) she wears the hair cover so that the performance is all about the music , and not about her.....

Sia: “No one cared who I was until I put on the wig”

her controlled voice cracks are what make Sia special

I believe she said she did it to avoid getting recognized, and side note what's even crazier is the fact that she is 41! and she's hitting notes most 20 year olds can't

I can’t listen to Sia without crying or getting goosebumps lol

Tristan: I’ll shut up I second later Tristan: Oh MY gOd

She used to have a problem with alcohol and or drugs and she is sober now. She found that when she was performing that she would destabilize because all the attention was too much for her. Then she started wearing the wigs so that she could just focus on the music and it helped her to stay stable.

Seeing Sia's face changed my whole life

About the hair. I read somewhere that she uses it so ppl would focus more on the music and not her physical appearance.

I always get goosebumps when I hear her sing. She's just glorious!

Her vibrato is one of the most unique I've heard. No one sounds like her and she sounds like no one.

I live for Sia's voice cracks.

Her voice is imperfectly perfect, I love it so much

The song that made me fall in love with her voice was Breathe Me! Still can move me to tears!

The most underrated singer ever. She's deserved better

She doesn't cover her face because of being scared. She actually covers her face to not be as recognizable. She wanted to stay out of the public eye due to her past popularity. She also had some issues with Drugs and Alcohol and is trying to stay clean without the pressures.

Unique voice Another queen who hasn't got the crown which she totally deserves.

She has the most beautiful voice i have ever heard

I agree that her vowels are more open in older videos, its something i noticed when i really started listening to her. The complaint ive always heard is that no one can understand her, ive always felt its almost like shes singing through clenched teeth, almost through all her pain and struggles, shes still singing.

she covers her face to show that appearance doesn’t effect the voice. :)) it is also because of her past with substance abuse. when she wrote “breathe me” she was going through a really rough patch in her life. he partner had passed away, she also had the substance abuse on top of that. so she decided to be less recognizable.

Sia is so underrated, she has the most powerful voice I've ever listened to, but she hasn't as much followers as she'd deserve because she doesn't show her body...

She is my favorite female singer for 14 years now. She intentionally makes those cracks in her voice. Her voice is perfection imo.

She hides her face so she can go to Trader Joes without being mobbed down

Omg I love her cracky voice so much.. some of her songs are there to party.. others to cry others to feel stronger others to get goosebumps others to just be happy and I love her for that

"Sia is one of those Indie girl voices except she can actually sing" a quote for the ages

tristan in other videos: " gimme those voice cracks!" sia: hold my bangs

We've known about this sweetheart in Australia since she started. We've always known her face, and we love her for it. Baby can always come home when the world gets too much.

Whoever doesn't like Sia is just wrong. Her voice being so imperfect but so good at the same time is what gives her the unique edge that only she has.

Sia S=She I=is A=awesome

Her voice is the best in the world. I literally cannot think of anyone that comes close that is still alive today. The little cracks in her voice give me chills

Meaning of Sia's name S-She I-Is A-Amazing

React to celebs not being able to reach their own high notes live

Sia grew up with parents who were/are both ( Mother & Father) professional musicians, vocal teachers, song writers, singers, performers, artists and are super multi-talented in the music industry. Sia is a chip off the 'ol block, so to speak and she is a true Genius & Legend. Musically, She is a Super Genius. As to your question, why she use/still does sometimes hide her face. Though many stories are out there, I watched a extended interview on Sia where this question was answered. She basically responded that it was sort of a joke initially, but said something along the lines, that she never really wanted to be famous, that she just wanted to get her music out there to be heard.....and that she appreciates, likes her privacy, being able to walk into any store and no one knowing who she was, being able to walk anywhere she wished, and not being followed, and recognized, free to do whatever she wanted. That the hidden face, allowed her to do that. I too had heard the story about her having stage fright, however, this was her explanation in that particular interview. She values and appreciates her privacy in her personal life. She is by far, my absolute favorite singer, song writer, musician, recording artist and her talent is limitless. Every song she sings, writes, reaches into my soul, and moves me. Takes me through her stories being told within her songs, and her voice wow, completes and speaks to my soul. I feel her, really see her and just get her personality and same time I also feel I can relate to her in a kindred kind of way. I have the utmost RESPECT for her. She's not just another singer, Sia is the REAL deal, in everything she sings, writes, performs and in everything she does. She is a Legend, a Super Genius with an AMAZING & BEAUTIFUL heart, soul and personality. She is THE BEST.

She is beyond any critique, any analysis. She is Titanium. I love her. Alex G 🇸🇨

She does not have stage fright Tristan!! She doesn’t like the paparazzi!!!!👋🏻

When she sings, my entire body tenses up as if I couldn't relax at all. She's just purely a phenomenal singer.

My opinion of Sia’s vocals: one of the best voices in history

2:22 I realized Sia has her hands painted the bisexual pride flag colors. I was like, *OH MYYYY GODDDDDD* 😂

In an interview she said she likes not being recognized in public, and that she’s even walked around in Target with herself playing on the radio and nobody knew who she was. I love her voice!! I love that rasp it gets like when someone’s fingers slide quickly down a guitar string. 💞

Sia has such amazing control. Those controlled voice-cracks are amazing.

She covers her face because she doesn't want to be recognized and wants to live a more normal life under the radar. She said that in an interview.

Sia's way of performing makes her reach my soul. That's what matters to me.

Sia's voice is so beautifully imperfect and i love that she has the courage to just go her own way and make her own style of music

Sia’s voice ALWAYS gives me goosebumps. I have a theory about her voice being so huge....I think she has Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (I have it and I saw lots of signs of it in her, especially the way she can curl her fingers backwards) so her vocals cords which has the abnormal collagen (we don’t make it normally) is much more stretchy than that of someone without a connective tissue disorder.

2:16 I just realized her hands are painted as the bisexual flag

It’s possible that the thing with her jaw is actually related to her EDS as it impacts the joints including the jaw. With EDS you even have to be careful from yawning not to dislocate your jaw it can be that severe. I have EDS and my jaw subluxes and cracks when I yawn.

sia is definitely my favourite singer she is so diffrent and amazing

I'm pretty sure she started covering her face because she wanted people to focus more on the music/singing and not so much the person behind the music/singing

Sia is 42 right now, if anyone was asking! 42 but her voice is 100!! Edit: omg thank you for likes ily all

Sia has the most amazing voice cracks. I get chills whenever I hear her sing.

Till this day she still is one of the best I've herd yet.

Sias voice cracks are everyyyyything

I know you've gotten loads of comments about her hiding her face, but I think it's more nuanced than many have said. Yes, she's said a big part is wanting to be able to go to the store and not be recognized, and for people to focus on her voice, not her. But, she's also said about how before, she was a major addict and an absolute mess and was someone that she now no longer recognizes. Part of her wanted to leave that person/performer behind. But not only that, she said she used to perform while intoxicated and isn't that singer anymore anyway. So, kind of like a, "Sure, you can Google my face, but you won't find ME in those pictures". Moreover (and this is more of what she's alluded to but I'm unsure if she ever said it in plain English), I believe it actually *does* have to do with an element of performance anxiety. ...anxieties that she _used_ to be able to anesthetize with drugs and alcohol, but now has to face head on, sober and clear. And, if you ask me (now this is actual speculation, not from her), part of me even believes that's why her vowels have gotten so much tighter and closed since the older performances. Those nerves and the anxious energy creeping in; no longer as loose and relaxed from alcohol, her mouth not falling open as far and uncontrolled. The current way suits her style wonderfully, so it's hardly a negative, but I do feel it lends credence to her still having unmanaged stage fright and now trying to navigate live performances sober. Additionally, while I know she's an interpretive artist and has always had elements of quirk on stage, I also believe that's why she's gone much harder on the "weird factor" in dance/costuming/props. ...bc you pay more attn to Maddie/the other heads/etc and forget to ever even pay attention to her. Which, could help her convince herself "Hey, I'm just in the studio, no one can see me", instead of the stripped back, bare and vulnerable Sia she used to be when using drugs and didn't care. (It's also why I don't believe it's just, "I want people to concentrate on my craft, not me. Bc the dances, etc distract you from not only her standing there, but even her voice. You're too busy trying to figure out what's happening on stage and can forget she's even singing for a second. It seems that's more the intent right now, until she gets more comfortable sober.) Much to consider. Hope that helps!

I just want a man to look at me the way Tristan looks at Sia

4:11 was literally a eargasam🤯

Ooo interesting seeing her perform diamonds, as I believe she actually wrote it. Rhianna did a good job of it too, but I prefer Sia.

Sia is one of the best female vocalist of our generation. I just love her.

She’s an incredible singer, what a range! And she makes it seem so effortless.

Can you react to Aurora? I'd love to hear what you think of her voice.

Sia sings fierce.

anyone else notice that she is signing at 2:18? that so cool to me, I've never seen a famous singer sing and sign (not saying its never been done, just saying I haven't seen it)

I've just discovered her during quarantine, and I love her. Tonight I've been watching these videos of her performing live, and in every one, she nails it at the top of her range, the notes, the timbre, the projection. She's amazing.

Sia is definetely one of my favorite artists, I absolutely love her songs and her voice are so amazing I would love to see her live

I saw an interview Sia did and she said she hides her face during performances so she can walk around casually without being noticed and keep some privacy to her everyday life.

Wow Sia was signing during her performance in which her hands were painted. That's so unique for a singer to do themselves, I bet the Deaf Community appreciated her hard work!

She does it so effortlessly amazing

I don't think there's anything scientific about Sias technique it's pure raw talent, she has an awsome ear for music ....perfect!

Diamonds it's a song written by her , even tho rihanna sings it. Sia tho sings it as it's supposed to sound. Hands down the best voice in pop music . And the best live performancer

Also, Sia is a refreshingly unique voice in pop, definitely a fan

You make me miss choir and my voice coach so much. Love you Tristan. You are a great example for positive constructive feedback.

That clip of Soon We’ll Be Found is so amazing!

Hands down best female vocalist ever

No she told in some interview that she does that (covering her face now) to avoid people recognizing her in the street so she could have a more "norma" life. Love ur videos ma dude! keep up with the reactions ;)

Her voice is dripping with love , emotion... I am completely in love with her VOICE!

No one can beat sia.. She's unstoppable ❤️❤️

I think Sia definitely has the capability to sing in a more healthy way or technically perfect way but chooses not to. I think she's a very capable vocalist to understand all these things and still take those risks to make her voice more interesting to listen to. But I can see why some vocal teachers would try to have students avoid singing this way it makes sense

Sia hides her face for various reasons. She was diagnosed with anxiety, and then Grave's Diseases which has affected her physical and mental health, she also doesnt want the media to comment on her physical appearance so she hides her face.

It’s refreshing to hear an artist that can actually sing well!

I love how her voice brings a genuine smile to your face.

I think a lot of vocal coaches get healthy voices confused. The vocal chord is has a lot of strength and durability. You can push it a little without it being unhealthy. It gives it character rather than sounding like everyone else

Ive been a musician for 17 years, and there are very few sounds that makes the hair on my arms stand up, but Sia, singing live, always does. She is Phenomenal.

Whenever I watch sia performing i start to believe that she was an angel in her past life haha (I really do)

Her voice gives me the chills

I just got yelled at recently by my piano teacher for not having an open mouth while singing!!! Thats why i heart you ! Wow if Sia has stage fright then I have every excuse to have it too 😁

Sia might be getting old but her voice will never get old

I feel proud to have grown up on SIA and actually have known what she looked like, people found it weird she covered her face and wondered what she looked like, I just wondered why she covered her face having already seen her face from her prior career. she's done so much than just her pop hits of current time, I'm 16 and my mum has been listening to her since before I was even born. I respect her so greatly, she's progressive, kind and optimistic, she's been through sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much but she proves that you can survive and succeed!

Sia is just an entire mood. Absolutely love her ❤️

THE BI FLAG PAINT ON HER HANDS IN THE SECOND PERFORMANCE YAS QUEEN

On the carpool with sia she says that she covers herself because she used to be a acholic and wants privacy

I've been following Sia since Zero 7 and haven't been disappointed yet. Thanks for covering this.

This woman’s voice is one of a kind , just beautiful

Titanium always gives me chills 💕

So proud that she's Aussie as well woohoo

Idc about technique, Sia is incredible. She is my favorite singer and songwriter!

I absolutely LOVE Sia! I love the crackle in her voice!

You should review Hayley Williams raw studio version of Still Into You

SIA has the most distinctive voice. Her vocals make me happy I have ears. Her voice were once jazzy and now more pop, both being capable of amazing runs and highs. Sia started wearing the wigs and performing with back to the audience with 1000 Forms of FeR album. She did not wish to be recognised and become famous. Performing had always made her anxious anyway and since she had decided to give up the grog and drugs, I imagine she felt even more vulnerable. Still avoids the paps, but more relaxed. No more touring for her I imagine which is very sad but if it keeps her happier, fair enough I say. Also check out Jessie J's new music after 4 years R.O.S.E. What a voice!!

I love the tone of her voice ❤

I love it how she sings in a way, where even if her voice cracks it still sounds beautiful, it’s kinda a style nobody else can pull off it’s fantastic.
