Edit: oh this is from Howard Stern.

Sounds live.

wow, rih didn't change it up at all

Isn't this the live version from that one showcase?

Gorgeous. Much more melancholy and haunting than Rihanna's cover

This is from the Howard Stern show. She did an interview and performed this song. It sounds much more profound when she sings it!




The interview was very good too

Woah. Sia did that, so much better than Rihanna's version. Surprised that Rih didn't change anything tho

This is from Howard Stern last week.

This isn't the demo, this is her performance on Howard Stern. Still amazing.

Her performing it at the Norweigan-American Achievement Award ceremony.

In the Howard Stern interview though they did play a bit of the very very very first demo, like when Sia was literally hearing the track for the first time and was just recording a vocal melody to improvised lyrics. It was pretty cool.

15:53 is where they play a bit of the very first demo.

Like everyone else said it's not the demo but still she sounds amazing

People expecting Rihanna to change anything though

Her version is so much better though

Amazing vocals.

Amazing!

Slay. I was already excited for her album. But this makes me more excited. I was hoping shed do a deluxe with demos from osongs she have away.
