So I recently started actually watching her music videos.

They're pretty amazing. Especially this one with Shia:



Say what you will but I still think he's a pretty damn talented dude.

Eh, I don't see how she's any different from the other generic pop singers out there. If I heard that on the radio, I'd have at least 6 ideas of who it could be.

That video was also a fairly decent Teens React.

I might only be saying that because Rachel was in on it.

That's probably because Sia has written a ton of top ten hits in the last few years.

"I feel violated."

I laughed.

Also, the controversy they mention or being offended by that video is stupid. She's more than 10 years older than he is.

Yeah, I could never teach highschool. Teenagers are fucking retards.

Huh? Maggie Ziggler (I think that's her name) is not 10 years older than Shia Labeouf. She's 14ish, I think? I'm too lazy to google at the moment (and on mobile, at work).

When my daughter-in-law lived here, I watched enough dance moms to give me PTSD.

Maddie Ziegler, age 12.
Shia LaBeouf, age 28.
Sia Furler, Age 39

I thought the dancer was Sia.

Now the whole "doesn't show her face" thing makes sense, because I thought "we can see her right there, how is that working?"

Sia also used the same dancer, Maddie Ziegler, in her video for Chandelier.

Which is a lot funnier if a sound guy dumps the music and dubs in his own sound effects.

That's some poltergeist shit right there.

I felt the Chandelier video was really moving; it had this animal feel to it that for me seemed like someone having to lash out with their body because they couldn't say what they had to, a secret or a trauma, something powerful.






Which is why I tried really hard not to laugh at the musicless video. I failed.

c'mon, man

Love me some Sia.

There's already an insane amount of edits of that video.

Pretty sure that was the intent, seeing as how he did it in front of a green screen.

Probably, but the whole thing is actually like 30 minutes long and put together by a group of student directors or something like that, where the director of the scene changes every 30 seconds or so. Regardless of the reason, though, the edits are pretty fantastic so far:

Thats more an indication of a shallow knowledge of pop music than anything else. I don't think theres anyone really big right now that you could mistake Sia for.

Really? I frequently mistake her singing voice for that of Adele.

While I haven't listened to a lot of either artist, I'd put their vocal ranges on near opposite ends of the spectrum. Adele can hit higher notes but seems to sit more comfortably in lower octaves, where Sia seems to be in the more typical higher range.

And now James Franco wants in.

Well, I suppose this was inevitable, wasn't it?

I think I'm about to slip into an adorable-induced coma.

I'm waiting for the inevitable mash-up (or dub).

I've learned there are kids on Tumblr who think Cannibal Shia LaBeouf is inspired by true events.

That's because he's (actual cannibal) Shia LaBeouf

I just got around to watching and listening to both those songs. Not bad. Good videos. Decent songs. Not my type. I can honestly say that, afaik, I hadn't heard either of them 'till now. Oh well.

I find the songs meh but the videos absolutely fantastic.
