Watch Sia's Unaired ARIA Award Acceptance Videos

"Well, I have nothing important to say besides, 'Be nice to animals'."

Following yesterday's brief beef between Sia and the ARIA Awards, the unaired acceptance-speech videos the quadruple prizewinner made for the ceremony have been uploaded to YouTube.

We know that being detached and enigmatic is kind of Sia's whole bag, but to be honest, we're not totally surprised (though we are a little upset) that the vids got the chop. After all, they feature a dude who might actually be Carrot Top in a Sia wig badly lip-syncing with her speech (or, often, kinda just sitting there smiling uncomfortably) while Sia offers occasionally unenthused-sounding but generally gracious words about believing in yourself and being nice to animals.

Still, they're more imaginative and entertaining than most of what we got on the night; check out Sia's acceptance speeches for Best Female (for which Katy Perry stepped in and accepted the award on the night, somewhat unsurprisingly given it's the least-interested of the lot), Best Video and Best Pop Release below.
