Sia suffered vocal blunder at Jennifer Aniston's wedding
Singer Sia struggled to hit the high notes when singing at Jennifer Aniston and Justin Theroux's wedding and her voice came out as a squeak.
The Australian songwriter performed her hit Chandelier at the Friends star's wedding reception, which was held in August (15) at the couple's California mansion under the guise of a birthday party.
She now admits her rendition did not go smoothly as her vocal cords
failed her on the high notes in front of a celebrity audience which
included Courteney Cox, Tobey Maguire, Emily Blunt and John
Krasinski.
"I sang at my friend's wedding a couple of weeks ago and it was
actually just laughable," she told Australian radio hosts Fitzy and
Wippa on NOVA FM. "I went for the Chandelier chorus and it was
like, it was actually hilarious. It was squawking... It sounded
like three weird squeaky notes at the same time were coming out...
it was hilarious."
When asked who the famous friend was, Sia replied, "You guys can
probably guess, I only have a couple of famous friends... it was
all over the papers."
She also recalls fumbling with her vocals while performing
Titanium, her collaboration with David Guetta, at a Presidential
gala, adding, "I totally couldn't hit the high note in front of the
President! I think I did three songs and I think the end was
Titanium and I just couldn't even hit that high note by the end. It
was hilarious... I opened my mouth and a squeak came out."
During the radio interview, she also admitted she rarely warms up
before performing and she has been warned she will lose her voice
if she continues.
"I don't warm up, I've never... that's a lie, I had a couple of
singing lessons right before the (2015) Grammys because I lost my
voice and I couldn't hit the high notes and everyone was saying
there's this guy, he will help you condition your voice so that you
can hit the high notes. All these exercises, it was so crazy. It
was $500 an hour, that's crazy, I can already sing. But he said if
you keep singing the way you sing you will lose your voice like
most people do."
