Certainly can't put that face front and center on album covers. Wow.
Yeah, I'd love to hear those record company meetings...

"Great voice, great songs, but... Um..."
"Maybe if you just keep your face hidden, a mask or something..."
"Or you could sing from the rear corner of the stage with your back to the audience."
"Maybe have some dancers to keep the audience's attention."
"Could claim you have severe stage fright."
"And if your lead dancer was twelve years old and wore a wig to look like you, it would make you seem younger."

Even though she's only 39, it looks like she's already had some work done of her face too.

Hideous? Give me a break!

She might not be a super model but who cares and that might not be the best photo.

Some people actually care about music and not the looks of an artist.

Do you think Taylor Swift would be the biggest star in the world if she looked like Sia? Of course she wouldn't.

Looks matter to record companies. That's a fact.

Especially with pop music, where image is everything.

"Chandelier" sounds like kind of song a 20ish year old chick should be singing, like Christina Aguilera or Miley, and not your friend's mom.

And yet that douche waffle is running around everywhere saying "It was the show's highest rating in YEARS!".

Am I the only person in the world who doesn't find Swift attractive? Sure, she's got a great body. Especially her legs. And yes, she is talented. Even though I don't like her style of music. But I personally don't think she's good looking at all. And I don't care about Sia's age. That clearly was a bad photo. She said she blocks her face so she cam walk around and live a normal life without anyone bothering her. Forgetting that she has earlier music videos and TV show performances where she shows her face that anyone can find online.

I find talent attractive. Sia has an incredible voice.

No. She looks like Bugs Bunny in drag.

Cool interview with Sia about why she doesn't want the spotlight and her songwriting
