is it really a "cover" if she wrote the damn song?

and it goes without saying that her version is better.
wicky_wicky 29th-Nov-2012 04:15 am (UTC)
how it should have been tbh, instead of rihannas piss poor imitation. sia's voice is always so full of emotion BOW

is it really a cover tho

like when jackson browne sings "these days". although he recorded it too so w/e

She sounds terrible.
jinnycalderone 29th-Nov-2012 04:16 am (UTC)
thank you, i kinda agree. she had this weird pitchy thing going on. just, noo.
yah_bish_yah 29th-Nov-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
Sometimes a little restraint is better. That pre-chorus note is laughable.
thrillisgone_89 29th-Nov-2012 04:20 am (UTC)
i wouldn't say she sounds terrible, but i don't see how this is "better" than rihanna's. their tones are actually quite similar, tbh.
wicky_wicky 29th-Nov-2012 04:25 am (UTC)
sry for your taste.
pistol_eyes 29th-Nov-2012 04:28 am (UTC)
The way they sing it is really annoying.

Sia needs to stop giving her music away and just record them herself. She's better than most of the people on the radio right now, IMO.
stellar_ball 29th-Nov-2012 04:17 am (UTC)
I can't stop listening to this song, but Sia's voice is most definitely better for it.
howlcosmiclove 29th-Nov-2012 04:18 am (UTC)
Love both versions.
emologues 29th-Nov-2012 04:18 am (UTC)
rihanna sings it exactly like sia lmao, not surprising, tho if the song has a demo by someone else and rih ends up taking it, she always sounds like the person who sang it originally

case in point

thrillisgone_89 29th-Nov-2012 04:21 am (UTC)
i don't get why people say this

like...that's kind of the point of a demo/reference track. most pop singers aren't going to change too much.
jinnycalderone 29th-Nov-2012 04:23 am (UTC)
thank you, ita.
emologues 29th-Nov-2012 04:24 am (UTC)
gurl i know what a demo is but riri more than others copies every single tiny difference the demo singer does.
asymptom 29th-Nov-2012 04:25 am (UTC)
yeah..if they don't like certain parts then they change it but why change anything if you already like it how the demo is? Just to say how you made it yours? She isn't really pretending that it's her song
rollogreb 29th-Nov-2012 11:57 am (UTC)
she could at least try to make it her own...
tiddlywinks103 29th-Nov-2012 06:51 am (UTC)
What is this comment? The demos have sheet music, and when two people read the same notes from the same sheet music, or listen to the same notes, and then sing them, they sound...alike. When people do this on purpose together, it's called a choir.

Now, if you're talking about tone, then you're still wrong, because The Dream's tone's and accent is completely different from the way Rihanna sang the song. I know we all hate Rihanna here, but come on.

I MET HER ONCE, SHE WAS VRY NICE
scarletidiocy 29th-Nov-2012 04:34 am (UTC)
me too! so friendly!
chantonii 29th-Nov-2012 10:29 am (UTC)
Jealous!
candycheeks 29th-Nov-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
it's ok
bighype 29th-Nov-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
sia <3 love her even though her song "breathe me" emotionally traumatizes me every time i hear it
howlcosmiclove 29th-Nov-2012 04:21 am (UTC)
mte ;_;
That song always leaves me in tears.
angelmonster 29th-Nov-2012 04:22 am (UTC)
Same because of six feet under. I legit tear up but I fucking love it.
if_musicbe 29th-Nov-2012 04:28 am (UTC)
Omg that series finale overlaid with that song... I can't. Not only was it the most beautiful scene EVER not just in watching these characters come to and end, but also in terms of how it was shot (the color saturation, wow). I was hysterically sobbing. Ugh, so good.
bighype 29th-Nov-2012 05:29 am (UTC)
YES THAT SERIES FINALE KILLS ME
icangoforthat 29th-Nov-2012 04:22 am (UTC)
god, I made the mistake of listening to breathe me when i was feeling down and it just made feel even 10x worse.
stellar_ball 29th-Nov-2012 04:25 am (UTC)
I WONDER WHY



No, but seriously, there's a lot in that song. And after reading about Sia and the loss of her boyfriend, makes it that much more emotional.
xzackb 29th-Nov-2012 05:04 am (UTC)
breathe me and lullaby make me cry INSTANTLY
icangoforthat 29th-Nov-2012 04:19 am (UTC)
incredible. better than the original
angelmonster 29th-Nov-2012 04:21 am (UTC)
Flawless, I have been a stan since Breath Me.
