Sia performs 'Diamonds'


OK, I've had a change of heart about 'Diamonds'...

Singer/Songwriter, Sia has been on the scene for years but just recently her profile has risen in the mainstream after penning and featuring on a number of chart topping hits including 'Wild Ones' with Flo Rida and 'She Wolf' with David Guetta. No surprise then that hit-chaser Rihanna, summoned Sia's skills for the debut track off her seventh album, 'Diamonds'. It was another number one single for Rihanna, but to be honest, Rih-rih rustling crisps packets would probably also go to number one. But 'Diamonds' is actually a good pop song- here is Sia performing it last night at the Norwegian-American Achievement Awards.  Hearing Sia's version you'll notice that Rih didn't really go to any great lengths to erm... "make the song her own", to use an X Factor phrase.

So here's 'Diamonds' sung by Sia in it's original- before it was famous- form
