Sia has released a new music video for Elastic Heart which apparently portrays her relationship with her father (played by Shia LaBeouf) when she was a child. It's an incredible but bizarre video. Discuss:

It's ****ing amazing. The video is bonkers but the song is so addictive.

I really want to get her album. She's so talented.

A very powerful video, I enjoyed it and the song.
I know the last time she used Maddie it caused a bit of controversy, I feel this one will top the outrage caused to some when she danced in Chandelier.

Yes I've already seen lots of comments saying it's inappropriate. It's them that have the problem if they believe that to be the case.

Also, to go back on my earlier post, Sia has apparently said that it's about 2 different sides to her personality and not her father. I don't know if this is true but whatever it's about it is a powerful video.

Ugh, people need to get over themselves. There's nothing inappropriate in the video.

The song is definitely as good as Chandelier was too, which is a great thing.

Fascinating video even if you don't know the story behind the concept.

It is art, and art can be used to be controversial, to raise eyebrows, to provoke a reaction and to create discussion.

That's exactly what Sia has achieved from reading the comments on YouTube.

It's only controversial if you read too much into the video, or misunderstand what's going on. Sadly many people judge things on face value and don't even bother to try and understand what's going on.

It's music videos like these that have the biggest impact. Similarly the video to Chandelier which was an extraordinary piece of contemporary dance in itself.

I can't believe the cries of "paedophilia". Some people need putting down they really do.

It's an amazing song, Diplo did a great job on the production.

The video's great, my interpretation is the girl represents fame/ the media. The way she leaps all over Shia LaBeouf like she's dogging him. The fact Shia has had a lot of trouble with the press lately could explain his casting? That's my take on it anyway.

It would be a real shame if it got to the stage where dancers under the age of 18 couldn't appear in anything, especially if an adult was in it too. It's a really screwed up state of affairs. People need to get a grip.

Have none of these people seen any interpretive dance before?

Erm when did Shia LaBeouf get hot?

I bought the album after watching the video. It's amazing.

You want to ban dance? Or did you see something sexual in the video?

If it's the second option then you need to seek psychological help immediately.

Well he's correct, you did get trolled. It was a comment obviously made in jest which you took at face value and responded seriously to.

No, I am aware of the poster in question and they always post negative comments about female artists in particular. They post negative comments and opposite opinions to mine for the sake of it on many threads I post in on the music forum. I was well aware that they weren't serious.

You really are an angry little man aren't you? Chill out!

You missed the irony and looked a little foolish, it's really not the end of the world!

I couldn't care less about looking foolish. My response was what it was. I was aware of your irony (not funny in the slightest btw).
