i don't think sara's version is better than sia's, maybe speaking of acoustic version is better than sia's acoustic version, but i don't think that she is better in voice technique, i mean her belts sounds pretty heady tho, her voice itself is already kinda heady Listen to the chorus on the first famous C5 note, sounds pretty heady and so on all the performance, Sia is pure chest belt. i'll give Sara 10/10 but sia is 11/10 atleast for me.
I'll give you your opinions and I hope you don't think for 1 second that I'm not a complete fan of both of them. For me, this rendition came from out of nowhere and I'd never heard anything like it. I was already enraptured with the original song (I used it in a performance) and was just as amazed at this one. I was moved to tears listening to Sia's and moved to tears with Sara. I love them both, both artists and all.
My mind is blown by this video collage. How does someone sing and play so consistently (like same exact bpm every time?!?) that the video editor could just chop all these different concerts together and they all sync perfectly to the audio… just wow.
People are saying this is anything less than amazing? Really? I had a chance to hear her do it live, and the entire show was the most masterful live vocal performance I've ever witnessed. She's actually better live than recorded, and I've never experienced that before. Must just be people who aren't Sara fans, cause musically, this is absolutely spectacular.
exactly, like i don't usually say this because i let everyone have their own opinion but when it comes to sara bareilles' singing, if you ever say it is bad, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about. I've never heard her do anything less then perfect before when it comes to singing or just about anything :)
I was in utter awe, when I saw her perform this song live. I absolutely felt chills in my body, and was so moved. There will always be hater, sadly always. But, Sara is genuine, true to her craft, and such a resilient example. I can't wait to share her music with my future children! Particularly songs, like, Beautiful Girl and I Wanna Be Like Me!
how could the other singers are more popular than her? what else she cant do beside write her own songs, hit that high notes, and able to play piano and guitar? she has all it takes to be a star!!! come on people!!!
She doesn't have star factor? I guess you mean that she doesn't appear half naked, sings crappy songs written by other people and uses auto tune when she performs, right? This woman is a fucking galaxy compared to many mainstream ''singers'' currently being categorized as ''stars''.
i actually believe live versions usually shows better performance, especially in consideration of Sara's incredible great voice. an official live audio could be wonderful.
Those critical of Ms. Bareilles's vocal "missing" of the high notes might consider how consistent the notes are that she chooses to land on. It might be just me, but I can't help seeing (stepping) chandeliers at those heights.
I'm confused as to which notes she is supposed to be missing? She belts the "I'm gonna fly" perfectly and puts a different little run on the second "Chandlelier" which I think is gorgeous anyway. Sia does those top notes in her head/mix voice in the original (and definitely in her head voice when she sings live) ...What am I missing? :-/
***** Hmm. See I think that Sia actually has a pretty low pitch, but Sara's version is in a slightly lower key it sounds like. But for this key, Sara's high notes are dead on. I mean...she slays!!!
Thid is the best cover. Other singer use this song to show off their vocal range with the highest pitch till they shit their pants. But she sing it effortlessly and smoothly. Not too much, not too little. Just perfect.
Considering it looks like a baritone ukulele, it's tuned like the bottom four strings of a guitar, so many of the chords are similar..regardless, I know she can play the piano, guitar, this ukulele, and oddly a pump organ.
Difficult to put into words Sara's amazing talent. She could sing the ingredients listed on the side of my Multi Grain Cherrios box and it would sound amazing. I've watched her perform live, and I wish I could have been there for this one.
This was pretty fuckin awesome!!! The control she has... when she belts it's like crystal clear Ugh... Love her!! Studio version please Sara do us that favor
i was in Charlottesville (travelled two days from across the Pacific ocean, completely exhausted, but excitedly went to my favorite artist's performance for the first time) and i was amazed by first the bed sheets then this incredible version of Chandelier. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE upload an official a cappella Bright Lights and Cityscapes video, i literally cried when i heard the first word because it's my all time favorite song!!!
This is one of the most perfects songs of the world! That notes goooooosh! Sara deserve more fame than what she have, she is excellent, i'm a huge fan, totally awesome. Love it!
Though it might have been coincidence I'd like to point out that Sara's timing in choosing to sing this cover couldn't have been more beneficial for Sia. Sia's new album debuted the very same week Sara started performing Chandelier, and we all know Sia can't/won't tour or do traditional promo for her record. Very brave on her part to buck the system, and I'd like to think Sara was doing what she could to support/promote another female artist who doesn't want to 'bow down' to the mighty powers that be in the music industry.
Dear Sara Bareilles, I am hoping that you will bring this amazing performance as well as your Little Black Dress tour to Malaysia. There are a lot of your fan in Malaysia wanted to see your live performance and please consider to come to our country. I am a big fan since the first time I heard Gravity and my support towards you is endless. Keep on singing and much love from Malaysia.
Rachael Yap oh no that was quick :( either way there's always a possibility some might sell their tickets off - check the Facebook page/group for Sara and you might get lucky!
This is amazing. She has a beautiful voice and a great talent for reimagining songs in her own style. Her stripped-down versions always sound to me more personal and emotional. But the original is great too. I won’t say this is better. Just different and amazing
In her book she writes about how people always say they are impressed she can always hit the high note in Gravity, but she says it's not even close to the top of her range so it's not hard. She wasn't kidding, this is the top of her range.
The highest note in this song is an Eflat5. The highest note in Gravity is a c5. A minor 3rd down. If you listen to gravity live she vamps up to a g5. I'd be she can sing easily up the 6th octave. Check out her doing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Her belt and control is incredible, and she sings low and high.
+K Carter I'm currently working on a live vocal range for Sara and the highest she's ever belted is G5, and she's sung up to an E6 in falsetto. She's never done a G5 in Gravity as far as I know, just in two 2011 performances of 'Come Round Soon'.
This video shows us how brilliant Sara is as a singer. She performs with excellence every time. There is not a show where she sings under par. Shes just amazing!!!!!!!
![Quando Rondo - Life Goes On [Official Music Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/eIf3fhMXAow/mqdefault.jpg)
Her vocal control is so insane that I am under the sincere impression that it is more likely the microphone will crack than her voice.
No-one else should bother covering this song. This is pure vocal perfection
Right sia give it to sia
Sara Bareilles deserves a Grammy just for being herself.
Yes, she is.
wait for it.
Grammy too overrated
I agree 125%
Oh man...Just when I think the original version is the best that can be done. THIS HAPPENS.
Exactly.
+Courtney K. no, sara is amazing, but sia is sia
i don't think sara's version is better than sia's, maybe speaking of acoustic version is better than sia's acoustic version, but i don't think that she is better in voice technique, i mean her belts sounds pretty heady tho, her voice itself is already kinda heady Listen to the chorus on the first famous C5 note, sounds pretty heady and so on all the performance, Sia is pure chest belt. i'll give Sara 10/10 but sia is 11/10 atleast for me.

I thought the same. Then.....

Best cover of this song no doubt.

I assume you've heard her cover of Yellow Brick Road? Also hauntingly gorgeous and powerful. Love Sara so much!!!
Amz5981 Yup, absolutely superb.

Me to i had goosebumps when ever She opened her mouth and the words just floated! she's amazing!
I was in utter awe, when I saw her perform this song live. I absolutely felt chills in my body, and was so moved. There will always be hater, sadly always.

And ukulele
She doesn't have star factor... And her sining changes pace ect.
She doesn't have star factor? I guess you mean that she doesn't appear half naked, sings crappy songs written by other people and uses auto tune when she performs, right? This woman is a fucking galaxy compared to many mainstream ''singers'' currently being categorized as ''stars''.
No shes a freaking hippie
hellspawnsgirl If that means she's individualistic and awesome, I'll take that over "star power."
Sara please we want studio version for Chandelier !!!
i actually believe live versions usually shows better performance, especially in consideration of Sara's incredible great voice. an official live audio could be wonderful.
YEASSS STUDIO VERSION!!!
@ziwei I couldn't agree more! Live recording release !!!
yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
Amen amen amen!!!
Wow. Singing is more than hitting all the high notes. There needs to be emotion behind it. She does it so well.
i've watched cover songs of Chandelier but nothing can beat sara's
Those critical of Ms. Bareilles's vocal "missing" of the high notes might consider how consistent the notes are that she chooses to land on. It might be just me, but I can't help seeing (stepping) chandeliers at those heights.
*****
I believe she's said she plays it a half step lower, yes. :)
I'm confused as to which notes she is supposed to be missing? She belts the "I'm gonna fly" perfectly and puts a different little run on the second "Chandlelier" which I think is gorgeous anyway. Sia does those top notes in her head/mix voice in the original (and definitely in her head voice when she sings live) ...What am I missing? :-/
***** Hmm. See I think that Sia actually has a pretty low pitch, but Sara's version is in a slightly lower key it sounds like. But for this key, Sara's high notes are dead on. I mean...she slays!!!
If better than that exists, I'd think my life was all a lie.
Sara is awe inspiring. Definition of perfect.
I can’t think of the right word… but I think it’s bewitching. You can’t help but be bewitched by Sara when she serenades you!
I LOVE this cover! So glad they posted professional footage. Sara hits those notes so consistently and effortlessly, with so much power.
Sara Bareiless is absolutey stunning, I really hope that one day people can realise the artistry that she has. She is a major talent.
This woman is just perfect. She always has been.
You just nailed a Sia song, not an easy thing to do, well done Sara! :D
When Sara sings... you people arent suppose to "WHOO"! if i was there i'd be crying... her vocals is just divine!
In her preamble, Sara mentions how difficult this song was to learn and I believe it. Those notes.
I know...gives me chills. She said she's a half step below Sia's version too. Incredible
***** absolutely
I don't know what I love more! The fact that she is singing Sia or that she is playing a ukulele!
Sara never fails to cease to amaze me - that high note is incredible.
Sara transformed the song... Amazing performance!
Thid is the best cover. Other singer use this song to show off their vocal range with the highest pitch till they shit their pants. But she sing it effortlessly and smoothly. Not too much, not too little. Just perfect.
Her placement, pitch, and power are world class.
i swear this is the best cover for Chandelier
This is so amazing! Her voice control is perfect! Those high notes sounds powerful, warm and soft at the same time, it's like heaven!
*BEST VOCAL EVER!!!*
And that uke. Wonder how many types of instrument she knows how to play?
Considering it looks like a baritone ukulele, it's tuned like the bottom four strings of a guitar, so many of the chords are similar..regardless, I know she can play the piano, guitar, this ukulele, and oddly a pump organ.
Her talent is unmatched.
This is absolute perfection, and I agree with the guy above me! Where are the people? Where are the billions of viewers? *smh*
This could be the best cover I've ever heard of anything
Difficult to put into words Sara's amazing talent. She could sing the ingredients listed on the side of my Multi Grain Cherrios box and it would sound amazing. I've watched her perform live, and I wish I could have been there for this one.
This was pretty fuckin awesome!!!
The control she has... when she belts it's like crystal clear
Ugh... Love her!!
Studio version please Sara do us that favor
She kill this song . That was awesome
Luv me some Sara B
Voice is flawless
Love her since Gravity, a fan ever since. So so under-rated for her talent! She deserves more...
Straight heaven pouring out from her vocal chords. Man!
Ohmygod her voice is so incredible! The skill and control that she has is ridiculous
oh wow...speachless
Ahhhh there's an E5 in there... always so amazed by Sara. *__*
My god, I feel this.
She’s so underrated it’s such a shame she’s brilliant😸
i was in Charlottesville (travelled two days from across the Pacific ocean, completely exhausted, but excitedly went to my favorite artist's performance for the first time) and i was amazed by first the bed sheets then this incredible version of Chandelier.

i love you so much SARA
Holy crap.. This is perfection.
This is perfection.

How can you sing those notes? It's amazing. You are unbelieveble, Sara.
musicgasm, just love this, love it
Wow... I am just in awe of the emotion she put into this... I am officially a fan..
This is one of the most perfects songs of the world! That notes goooooosh! Sara deserve more fame than what she have, she is excellent, i'm a huge fan, totally awesome. Love it!
Goosebumps everywhere! I love this acoustic version, she is just amazing!

I am a big fan since the first time I heard Gravity and my support towards you is endless. Keep on singing and much love from Malaysia.
If it's possible for you, she's coming to Singapore!
TotallyGlar I think the tickets are already sold out :( I checked it last Friday and Sistic said that tickets were unavailable :(
Rachael Yap oh no that was quick :( either way there's always a possibility some might sell their tickets off - check the Facebook page/group for Sara and you might get lucky!
This is amazing. She has a beautiful voice and a great talent for reimagining songs in her own style. Her stripped-down versions always sound to me more personal and emotional. But the original is great too. I won’t say this is better. Just different and amazing
wow..... i am a new fan.. you are amazing
gave me chills. can't put into words how amazing this is.
Wow very talented, i don't know why your videos don't get much views :( you deserve more than that
I cannot get over how perfect this is.
Queen of two outfits
it is more than amazing. amazing is for earthly things. now this is clearly heaven, a piece of, at least.
She deserves nothing but more recognition in this music industry. Her voice control blew my mind like WOW! GRAMMY FOR SARA FOR SURE 100%!!
Well, this is just exquisite.
Sara and her perfect voice!!!!
That was unbelievable!!! How is she possible???
In her book she writes about how people always say they are impressed she can always hit the high note in Gravity, but she says it's not even close to the top of her range so it's not hard. She wasn't kidding, this is the top of her range.
I'm not positive, but this doesn't sound like it goes any higher than Gravity's high note.
The highest note in this song is an Eflat5. The highest note in Gravity is a c5. A minor 3rd down. If you listen to gravity live she vamps up to a g5. I'd be she can sing easily up the 6th octave. Check out her doing Goodbye Yellow Brick Road. Her belt and control is incredible, and she sings low and high.
up to the 6th octave. oops.
+K Carter I'm currently working on a live vocal range for Sara and the highest she's ever belted is G5, and she's sung up to an E6 in falsetto. She's never done a G5 in Gravity as far as I know, just in two 2011 performances of 'Come Round Soon'.
1:42 THAT CONTROLL ❤❤❤❤
Literally breathtaking
I love her earpiece dangling from her shoulder
Oh dear god. Better than the original. Sara is queen.
Wow! Sensational!

I LOVE HER VOICE!! It Amazes Me How She Hits The Notes Dead On & She Sounds So Freaking Good Omg

I swear Sia songs are so difficult to sing without your voice cracking or going all weird.
Good job
Had to listen to the original... Enjoyed this cover more than I did the original.
Sara B is sensational....

She is impeccable.
