What is Sia, and was her first number sincere, >or part of a joke? Adapted from the Wiki: Sia is actually an established musician in her native Australia, having released her first album in 1997. This media shyness is more recent, and the videos from her current release mirror that art-not-the-artist focus. Her first performance last night (“Elastic Heart”) matched the actual video, in which her tweenage dancer-surrogate from “Chandelier” was controversially* joined in a cage by Shia LaBoeuf for some interpretive dancing. The “Chandelier” video is similarly arty, which Carrey and the SNL writers apparently picked up on. *http://music-mix.ew.com/2015/01/08/sia-elastic-hearts-music-video-apology/ _ _ |_>|_> Brad Beam- Belle WV |_>|_> http://www.facebook.com/74bmw -- -- TV or Not TV ....
