The enigmatic chanteuse performed flawless, motionless renditions of her hits 'Elastic Heart' and 'Chandelier'

Acclaimed expat singer-songwriter Sia stopped in via Saturday Night Live this weekend, making quite the impression while she was at it with two evocative, ethereal renditions of her 1000 Forms Of Fear singles Elastic Heart and Chandelier.

With Sia sticking to her enigmatic guns and obscuring her face with a black veil/visor, first cut Elastic Heart recalled the controversial sequence employed in its accompanying video, once again welcoming the prodigious Maddie Ziegler to the stage to fight-dance with an adult (just not Shia LeBeouf this time), while Chandelier's vocals soared above minimalist, emotive piano and amounts to the most sincere use of a mime we've seen in a long while.

Watch Sia do her thing with the embedded clips below.

 

Elastic Heart made its debut on the ARIA Charts this weekend past, with the track exceeding midweek expectations of stepping out in the top 15 to make its entry at #8.
