The pair performed a quirky rendition of Sia\u2019s track \u2018Unstoppable\u2019, with the video of their performance reaching over two million people around the world on YouTube alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sia is the first to appear onstage, in a bold pink outfit complete with an enormous bow and monochrome wig that has become characteristic of the singer. She gets the performance off to an emotive start, and by the time David Byrne joins her onstage, the audience is well warmed up and clearly ecstatic to see these two musical legends performing together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sia - Unstoppable feat. David Byrne (Live From Miley\u2019s New Year\u2019s Eve Party)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cS06DNQ0OeU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some of the video\u2019s online viewers initially appeared to have some doubts about the performance. One person, for instance, felt that David Byrne\u2019s vocals weren\u2019t suited to the song and that he should have allowed Sia to perform it on her own. Many other fans, however, have since rushed to Byrne\u2019s defense, arguing that his unusual vocal style \u2013 as pioneered with his original band Talking Heads \u2013 is actually part of what makes the performance so entertaining.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The hardcore David Byrne fans among readers might also remember that this performance was not the first time the singer and Sia have collaborated. If you\u2019re not already aware of it, check out this deep cut from 2010\u2014a track called \u2018Never So Big\u2019 from Byrne\u2019s collaborative album with Fatboy Slim that also features Sia on vocals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-4-3 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sia - Never so big (Ft David Byrne & Fatboy Slim)\" width=\"1200\" height=\"900\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iP2R_TCd1Ek?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At first, it\u2019s easy to imagine why people might think David Byrne and Sia make an odd pairing; their individual musical styles are very different, as are their aesthetics. As revealed by the pair\u2019s live rendition of Sia\u2019s track \u2018Unstoppable,\u2019 however, sometimes opposites attract, and we can\u2019t get enough of their powerful but quirky performance of this rousing, emotive song.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sia and David Byrne\u2019s unexpected collaboration at Miley Cyrus\u2019 New Year special became the surprise hit we never knew we needed, captivating millions and spawning lively debate. Their unique chemistry and Byrne\u2019s distinct style brought a new flair to Sia\u2019s \u2018Unstoppable.\u2019 Whether you\u2019re on Team Sia, Team Byrne, or simply a fan of great music, there\u2019s plenty more to discover about this striking performance and their creative journeys.
