8 Songs Sia Has Covered That Might Be Better Than The Originals
Sia dropped 1000 Forms of Fear into the world yesterday and we're eating it up with a spoon. In the past few years, the Australian singer-songwriter has become a titan of the music industry—writing songs for everyone from Katy Perry to Beyonce and recording hits like "Breathe Me," "Titanium" and "Chandelier."
She's also crafted a number of haunting covers—for her own albums, tribute records and in concert. Below, check out her versions of 8 classic tracks.
Who played it better?
Britney Spears, "Gimme More"
The Church, "Under the Milky Way"
Radiohead, "Paranoid Android"
The Pretenders "I Go to Sleep"
Madonna, "Oh Father"
Grease Soundtrack "You're the One That I Want"
Sia joined Beck for a lowfi version of this musical-theater classic.
Cyndi Lauper, "Time After Time"
Rihanna, "Diamonds"
Okay this last one is a bit of a cheat, since Sia actually wrote "Diamonds," but her version makes a lot more sense than RiRi's.
