GETTING ME TO WORK.
She's the cutest. And I still can't get over her voice. I've listened to several of her live recordings and every time I'm in awe of how she sounds like that and makes it sound so effortless. Amazing.
Normally I'd assume such well pitched and clear singing is the result of tedious recording and studio filtering..
Then there's Sia just singing like that... in a car, with no monitor and even with the distraction of James singing loudly to pitch up his naturally lower register.
She's such a sweetie, and her and James are so funny together. I just wish he would've let her sing solo for a little bit.
Sia is THE BOMB!
oh my GOD her freakish hands!
