THERE are few singers who can deliver a perfect live performance.
But we have found one after being treated to a sensational, note-perfect performance from Sia – a tiny woman with a huge voice.

Little known in the commercial charts, Sia was part of the more famous Zero 7 who were behind the 2001's Mercury shortlisted Simple Things.

Her rich, powerful, velvet voice has the capacity tomake every hair stand on end while simultaneously melting the hardest of hearts.

Sia was in town as part of a seven-date UK tour to launch her new solo album some people have REAL problems and it seemed the crowd had travelled from far and wide to see their hero in Leeds, judging by the electric atmosphere at the Cockpit.

Little notes with song requests were passed forward from people in the audience and read out by Australian Sia, making the audience roar with her wit and banter before delivering the requested treat.

And while she treated fans to a string of her own sounds, Sia also delivered one from the old days with the spine-tingling Destiny.

Whether you know her or not, anyone who appreciates true talent should catch Sia if they get the chance. You cannot fail to be impressed.
