TV host’s spectacularly weird rendition of Sia hit ‘Chandelier’

Sia’s hit single “Chandelier” is notoriously hard to sing, but that hasn’t stopped a Filipino-Australian performer from trying - with limited success.

Born in the Victorian town of Yarrawonga, Anne Curtis is a huge star in the Philippines, working as an actress, model, singer and television host, amassing nearly 8 million Twitter followers in the process.

As the host of musical variety program and game show “It’s Showtime!”, Curtis stepped behind a piano to belt out the ubiquitous hit.

What she lacked in accuracy in hitting notes she made up for with passion, her heartfelt performance reaching new heights when she literally swung from a chandelier, as the song’s chorus suggests.

Aided by a shirtless male dancer, she scales the titular light-fitting amid a cloud of mist as confetti falls around her.

Her effort is going viral online, with users questioning the seriousness of the performance and perhaps hoping the occasionally excruciating effort was somewhat tongue-in-cheek.

“Wow, I’m so glad I didn’t switch it off early. That was incredible,” one commenter on Reddit wrote.

“Oh my god, it just keeps getting worse and worse in the best way,” wrote another.
