.....the drama....the tension....the urgency....the elegance....the control........she was so poised...but she gave you the suggestion that she would snap at any moment from the pain of it....
ldsrobert1 Cut my soul too, hard yo describe how i felt listening to it, whenever the growl comes i stopped breathing for half a second, my heart beat skipped one beat, felt like tearing up but a smile comes out.
They have different approaches what it comes to performing this... I mean, Sia expresses perfectly that helpless and reckless attitude the lyrics talk about, while Renae’s version sounds to me as someone that’s not on the edge anymore, what Sia’s version would be after all is said and done, when you’re sober.
it was beautiful! Just imagine what more epic it could be if you had some really powerful symphonic background music blended with your rare golden voice!
La'Porsha, you inspire me sooo much. That song I love, but when you sing, I discover any song from totally different direction. You are phenomenal. I love you. I root for you. You inspire me. Thank you :)
A legend in the making I tell you! You take me to knew places everytime you open your mouth to sing. I get so emotional when you sing girl! Huge fan. I would love to hear you do some Chaka Khan too.
trina moore girl I thought it was just me lol she be having on an emotion zip line. Especially when I watch her cover of MJB's No More Drama cover from the show..LAWWWWDDD!
LaPorsha Renae should be on top of the billboard charts! Hope producers put some faith on her talent too! She is just real and original. Good thing she'd never lost her house key. It's on her ear Lol. Love Laporsha. 😊
I have listened to countless renditions of this wonderful song, and you Madam delivered it with such effortless skill. Nuance, power.....such a sublime performance. I am grateful for RUclips ALWAYS when I find rare gems like you. Thankyou.
This woman is one of the few women I know that can actually sing ANYTHING. She could make a single singing the alphabet and make it sound so good. Make it sound like the alphabets are resonating with your heart and soul. Filling every square inch of your body with meaning and understanding. Lord. God is good.
Jerome Rivers she didn't win bc they knew she was going to get signed without that win. Her voice is so soft & yet so powerful , they knew someone would snag her. A legend in the making.
It's a good thing she didn't win. She's way to talented for that. Instead she got a record deal that she could better able to manouver through the music industry. Idol was a super good platform for her to get discovered.
Sia is brilliant. but this is next level hair on your arms raise up stuff. I've been sharing this with my mates for years. This is exactly what the music world needs now. Real, honest, vulnerable vocals. Where you feel like you feel them, FFS I sound old but move closer. Phyllis nelson. That vulnerability but power in the voice 😍😍😍
I never listen this song like this before , just there is magic in her voice, please say more hit song.. because all of them will be like new with you 👏🏻
Wow. I have never heard this song sound so sad before. I always thought of it as a party or drinking song but this made swing from the chandelier sound like Sia wanted to hang herself, and I mean this in a good way. Though tragic and dark to think about, it's a tragic and dark song that can be deceivingly happy, just like someone suffering can put on a smile irl.
Those were my thoughts exactly either exception of the "happiness" portion...if I song ever described someone this would be my personal theme song ....with 100 percent lyrical accuracy. ...I live knowing that every one I mean EVERYONE AROUND ME WANTS SOME THING FROM ME OR OUT OF ME AND AS KONG AS I AM ABKE TTO GIVE THEM I AM INCKUDED ...INCKUDED IN YHE FAMILY INCKUDED IN THE INNER CIRCLE..I HAVE NOOOOO FRIENDS NOT A SINGLE ONE....IM AN EMPATH SO ITS HARD FOR ME TO DEAL WITH ONINY PEOPLE...I UNCOVER THIER TRUTH ALMOST IMMEDIATELY.....ALL I HAVR IS FAMILY...JUST MOVING FROM EAST TO WEST COAST MEETING A MAN WHO I YHIUHHT WAS EVERYTHING ID EVER HOOED FOR INLY TO DISCOVER HE IS A SEVER NARSSIS...IVE BECAN CUTTING MYSELF I DRINK EVERY DAY...BIYYLES AND BOTTLES AND HAVE NOOOOO EFFECT OF THE LIQUOR..I AM IN TUNE WIYH MU LORD AND HE HAS DONE SOME MIGHT THINGS IN MY LIFE WITHOUT ME BEING THEE LEAST BIT WORTHY...HE LOVES ME STILL.
Its actually a song about the use of alcohol to cover up the sadness, and emptiness a person can feel, then the smile they paint on to make others comfortable.
love this version.. amazing.. a singer with a beautiful vooce can make any song sound so good.. and this song is one hell of an amazing song and she nailed it..
2020 BABY! Been searching for TRUE ARTISTS because obviously the media doesn’t want to push talented voices. So glad she is using her voice fearlessly!!!
Travale King I was just happy to hear more music from her. She is so underrated it is disgusting! She can out sing so many ladies on the radio, but her name isn't out there yet. I praying it changes soon!!!!
Wow, beautiful inside and out...tears in my eyes. You are so blessed. OMGOODNESS!! Lord enlarge territory..expose her may her gifts make room for her and bring her before great men, in Jesus name.
This rendition is so beautiful yet so painful at the same time! I felt and related to the lyrics so much more. I felt EVERY pain/sadness of the words as they came from her lips. Sia's version is up beat but this.....THIS!!!! Whew Chile, Yes!
Who’s listening in 2024? Hers is my favorite rendition of this song.
Me
.....the drama....the tension....the urgency....the elegance....the control........she was so poised...but she gave you the suggestion that she would snap at any moment from the pain of it....
Exactly what i felt. Excellent analogy
2024 still luv her cover of this song
Her falsetto and vibrato gives me chills! So in love with her voice! I watched this video like 15 times in a row.
Those low notes and the vibrato cut to my soul! A true voice from GOD!!!!!

Her rendition is achingly beautiful. Spine-tingling performance.
That transition from "chandelier" to "Im holding on for dear life " @ 2:07-2:12 was so beautiful 😫😫

jawdey kim exactly and I'm happy she didn't win kuz she really is the winner
Travale King: They did her a huge favor not declaring her the winner, despite it all she's still WINNINGGGG!!
I've watched you since your first audition
I knew you are special
Now I look up to you
God is faithful 🙏🏼
The transition and mini run from 2:06-2:08 was nuts! The girl just knows how to use her instrument. Lawd!
Mi Wynn yes that was crazy !!!
Mi Wynn I keep replaying that part over and over! Her vocal control is just crazy 😭

So true I never new or heard most of the words until now....thank you
I agree
They have different approaches what it comes to performing this...

Porter Billingsley , Did it come out already?
Marcus, yes her album dropped last week Friday. It called already all ready.
Lacovia Bebber, No way... really? I have to check it out now! 😲😲😲 Thanks for letting me know! 😉
You have a wonderful ability to control your voice, you’re a legend
it was beautiful! Just imagine what more epic it could be if you had some really powerful symphonic background music blended with your rare golden voice!
Wow, I actually like this song when she sings it! Really like it. Thank you.
La'Porsha, you inspire me sooo much. That song I love, but when you sing, I discover any song from totally different direction. You are phenomenal. I love you. I root for you. You inspire me. Thank you :)
Can we just give props to this pianist killing it on these keys?😍
She has such a powerful voice 🎤 and when she sings you can hear the message and the pain that connect to your soul
OMG!! She did this. Definitely made it her own but kept it true without over doing it. Absolutely beautiful. 😢❤❤❤
A legend in the making I tell you! You take me to knew places everytime you open your mouth to sing. I get so emotional when you sing girl! Huge fan. I would love to hear you do some Chaka Khan too.
Lola Cola yes any then by her she could sing
Mary Wilson right! She could sing the alphabet and I would still be having a fit lol. Very rare talent.
Lola Cola it dont matter wat she sings i cry
trina moore girl I thought it was just me lol she be having on an emotion zip line. Especially when I watch her cover of MJB's No More Drama cover from the show..LAWWWWDDD!
trina moore Me too.
Her earrings making that ever so light tinkling sound that adds her body language to the song. ❤️
LaPorsha Renae should be on top of the billboard charts! Hope producers put some faith on her talent too! She is just real and original. Good thing she'd never lost her house key. It's on her ear Lol. Love Laporsha. 😊
This remake is fire! Why isn't this on Spotify? I need this in my life.

Oh my gosh. So beautiful!!
My heart dropped on those low runs she did
You move me. You are an incredible talent.
YOU 👏🏽 BETTA 👏🏽 SANG 🙌🏽
Jamie Grace SHE SANNNNGSS. HER FACE OFFFFFF!!!!!
By far the best, most meaningful rendition of this song. Bravo.
She's just God Given Talent. Awesome.
I have listened to countless renditions of this wonderful song, and you Madam delivered it with such effortless skill.
Nuance, power.....such a sublime performance. I am grateful for RUclips ALWAYS when I find rare gems like you. Thankyou.
My God! Her voice puts you in place full of emotion!
Your interpretation of this song saved my life.... Thank you for your gift La'Porsha Renae

What an amazing cover of an extremely difficult song. It literally brought me to tears.
unbelievable talent is always unbelievable to the naked eye!!! Flawless
Definitely the best cover of this song... such an amazing voice!!!
THE PASSION, THE FEELS, THE CHILLS...ARE CRIPPLING!!😭😭🙌
This woman is one of the few women I know that can actually sing ANYTHING. She could make a single singing the alphabet and make it sound so good. Make it sound like the alphabets are resonating with your heart and soul. Filling every square inch of your body with meaning and understanding. Lord. God is good.
ok how did she not win american idol.... such a great voice!!!
Jerome Rivers she didn't win bc they knew she was going to get signed without that win. Her voice is so soft & yet so powerful , they knew someone would snag her. A legend in the making.
Jerome Rivers I'm glad she didn't win. American idol is fake with their shady contracts
Phillip W. She shoulda had audition to " The Voice " she woulda have won there
Quamese Lowery I'm a little iffy about them too. a little bit but yeah she probably would've
It's a good thing she didn't win. She's way to talented for that. Instead she got a record deal that she could better able to manouver through the music industry. Idol was a super good platform for her to get discovered.
God why have I been under a rock!!!! I'm so in love with her voice!!!
best cover hands down
Sia is brilliant. but this is next level hair on your arms raise up stuff. I've been sharing this with my mates for years. This is exactly what the music world needs now.

You're Amazing! I'm so excited for you and your success!
2019 and I am still here guys 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦

Wow. I have never heard this song sound so sad before. I always thought of it as a party or drinking song but this made swing from the chandelier sound like Sia wanted to hang herself, and I mean this in a good way. Though tragic and dark to think about, it's a tragic and dark song that can be deceivingly happy, just like someone suffering can put on a smile irl.
Diane Miles You should hear Sia sing it on SNL
Rex iz kool I was going to suggest the same. Sia's SNL live, with the signing mime....OMG, I cried.
Diane Miles a fake smile will allways save your live
