It's okay but I don't understand why everyone who Sia writes for tries to imitate her style. It just opens up the door for comparisons.

Sia could be nominated with "Unforgettable" (Finding Dory) and Sledgehammer (Star Trek Beyond) at the Oscars!

You can tell it's a Sia penned song, but as far as the song itself goes; not catchy and nothing special.

Just like all her music this era except Needed Me and KIB :/

it's because she sends them the demos and 9/10 times they hear it enough that they imitate it, just like how i'm sure we would do if we sang Gaga on a karaoke

Understandable but as an artist, of Rihannas status, you'd think she would personalise it rather than directly imitate.

i know Sia has openly stated that when she writes for artists she expects their finish track to be the same as the given demo.
not entirely in vocal ornamentation, such as annunciation and slur, but in notation and ad-libs - that's why she is kept as background vocals for her penned tracks; see PerfumePretty HurtsInvincible and Flashlight).

in an interview, i remember she said that an artist changed like a few lyrics in a song and she didn't allow them to release it, i'll have to find the interview!

additionally, she has said that when she heard Rihanna's completed Diamonds demo, she thought they had kept her own vocals on the track.
that's how much it resembled Sia's notation and style, and she didn't mind.

I was actually making a joke about TIHTY :green:

But tbh I think she'd be okay with singing this. She's usually pretty good with ballads. It's when she dances around that her vocals aren't great.

Unforgettable is a cover though. I didn't think covers were eligible for nomination?

Sia should have sang it. I'm not sure what Rihanna singing it adds to the song considering that she sounds like Sia anyway.

Sia & Rihanna wrote Sledgehammer so both could be nominated :)
