History YMMV / Sia

** Also with Swifties after Sia sent kind words to Scooter Braun in the midst of his feud with Music/TaylorSwift.

* FanonDiscontinuity: Fans tend to ignore her debut album ''[=OnlySee=]'' (which was releases independently in Australia in 1997) and consider it vastly inferior to her subsequent albums. Sia herself even tends to consider her sophomore album ''Healing Is Difficult'' as her first album.

** Her original song for TheNeonDemon, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3JxH0B7a4Ic "Waving Goodbye."]] It serves as a surprisingly cathartic send-off for such a nerve-wracking film.

** "Lullaby", "Chandelier" and "Breathe Me".

** "Lentil", about the dog she had to leave behind when she moved to England.

** Sia's real life struggles and the pain that can be heard on ''1000 Forms of Fear'' really cement that she did not take fame well.

** "Lentil", about the dog she had to leave behind when she moved to England.

** "Dreaming", a collaboration with Zero 7, seems to be written from the perspective of someone who has died and are telling their lover to move on.
** "My Love", which was written for Sia's first boyfriend who was killed in a car accident.
** From "Fear":
-->And sometimes I worry my boyfriend will die\\
My first love is already dead

* HypeBacklash: There was a lot of hype when Sia and Music/{{BTS}} announced they were releasing a song together, but it pretty much faded away by the time it was released and is generally hated by BTS fans.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: "Titanium" is generally agreed to be the best part of ''Nothing But the Beat'', with many critics noted her vocal saved the song from mediocrity.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYciKG3b5Ek Teens React To Sia's Elastic Heart]]: Several teenagers were shown Sia's video for 'Elastic Heart' for their reactions. While everyone was hopelessly confused, most of them defended the rights of artists to express themselves no matter how little sense the creative product made, and also said that the video did not seem to be endorsing pedophilia (the main controversy being a 28-year-old man and a 12-year-old dancing in flesh-toned leotards).

* SignatureSong – Her breakout hit "Chandelier" is her signature song. Even though she's followed it up with some very well-received hits, this is the song people think of when they think of Sia.

* CriticalResearchFailure: Diamonds don't actually shine, but they reflect.

** From her Zero 7 days, ""Destiny" and "Somersault."

* UnfortunateImplications: Her movie, ''Film/{{Music|2021}}'', drew a great deal of criticism for its portrayals of autism, as did her response to some of said criticisms; see [[YMMV/Music2021 its YMMV page]] for details.

* SuspiciouslySimilarSong - "Chandelier" is very similar to Music/{{Rihanna}}'s "Diamonds", right down to Sia sounding just like Rihanna. Incidentally, "Diamonds" was also written by Sia.

* HypeBacklash: There was a lot of hype when Sia and Music//{{BTS}} announced they were releasing a song together, but it pretty much faded away by the time it was released and is generally hated by BTS fans.

** Sia's real life struggles and the pain that can be heard on "1000 Forms of Fear" really cement that she did not take fame well.

** The concept for the video to [[https://youtu.be/r_0ulNpvrRU "The Girl You Lost To Cocaine"]] was apparently just renting a soundstage and using as many of the included props, costumes, and sets as possible: So we get things like Sia dressed as a German barmaid and lying on a bearskin rug, riding an exercise bike dressed as a shark, or casually eating a corn dog in bed with a facial mask on.
