I love Sia and I love her voice but this wasn't very good, it was too monotone and boring, not very good but ofc some of the girls here didn't even analyse the performance, throwing shade just because, how transparent

[Jameson Teqkilla]

Rihanna's vocal is definitely modeled after Sia singing the song. Voice cracks at the same places and everything.

[alex_bmkx]

I can't believe i'm saying this but Rihanna >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Sia.

[JayRockafella]

I really love her

[Su-Barbie-A]

Still prefer Rihanna's version, she sounds a bit too...

amazing, this song was made for someone with powerful vocals

Is this why Rihanna does it better live than the studio version and everyone praises her Diamonds performances? It does make sense

[Icing]

She owns it.

Christina did it too with Bionic, they emulate Sia's way of singing when she works with them

[Rihhyonce]

She slayeddd that.

And the little girls?

It's nice, but kinda boring. For me Rihanna's tone elevates this song to another level.

I couldnt have said it any better

Rihanna's studio version is far beyond either's live performance.

Exactly. Something tells me they didn't even watch the whole video before saying it was so much better.

why are you so angry though? if you prefer rihanna's version good for you! i happen to think the song sounds better with someone with stronger vocals like sia, the song sounds good regardless though. so defensive

I'm pretty sure Sia recorded this song and then they gave it to Rihanna.

[KORDEI]

Eh...

Robyn's performance of the song at the Victoria's Secret show >>>>>>>>> this.

Yeah, I don't think the writers interact with her at all, other than through email.

[BSNMology]

cuz GIRL

[RihRihGirrrl]

They sound alike in the chorus but not the verses.....I prefer Rihanna's version tho
