Forums - Music Discussion - Sia - Chandelier over 1,4 billions views on youtube

Sia is very overrated lately but this was a great song with one of the best videoclips of that year and those numbers are incredible. "Hello" from adele has 1.83 billion views in way less time though, that is just mindblowing.

The acoustic version is awesome btw:

Nope, I already pointed out earlier that it was one of the biggest songs of 2014.  The numbers are legit.  Also there aren't many more better real singers out there and on top of all that Sia is a true muscial talent since she not only sings, she writes her own songs writes songs for other singers and produes music.  So when it comes to being a real legit musican not just as singer there are actually very few people that are more talented then Sia.

How do you know all her views are legit?. we are talking about over a billion views here.

There is no reason for me to believe that the numbers aren't legit there are many other videos that got over a billion views and some of them are a lot worse (Sorry, Baby, What Do You Mean?, Love Yourselve, Gangnam Style, Gentleman).  Actually as far as Justin Bieber songs go Sorry isn't actually not that bad but it still doesn't deserve over 2 billion view.  Also its pretty easy to figure out if a Youtube video got legit views by looking at the amount of comments and thumb up and thumb down votes it got.

Also even though Sorry by Justin Bieber is halfway decent the Madden 17 ad, which is a direct parody of both the music video and song is miles better.

Or maybe todays youths are clueless?.

Anyway id say 1 billion of them views are fake and added to make her look bigger then what she is.

Id also say the same for 90% of the music videos you see today. Their views are made to look bigger then they are so your brain registeres them as being good.

Truth is the is soooo many better real singers out there who doesnt have near as many views since people are blinded and want to follow the herd..

Are you one of those that " if everyone likes it i dislike it cause i have better taste than everyone "

He probably is, also Sia isn't actually that mainstream before her 1000 Forms of Fear album drop she was actually pretty unknown around the world outside of Australia kinda like the Australian artist that are featured on the Future Classic radio station in Forza Horizon 3.

Elastic Heart is a much better song imo. Think it should have this songs success.

Elastic Heart is good too but too overproduced in some parts

Pies and beers is that a actual thing because that is a weird combo kinda like Moon Pies and RC Cola which is a actual popular combo in the southern United States.

The lyrics are more understandable too.
