This year Sia managed to attract widespread attention for her performance arts inspired music videos and the attention continues, however, this time it's positive and from former Nickelodeon star Jennette McCurdy.

McCurdy sent some positive feedback for the "Big Girls Cry" music video where Maddie Ziegler resumed her role from the "Elastic Heart" music video.

Rather than being accompanied by Shia LaBeouf, Ziegler makes her solo performance with a series of gestures and facial expressions as she performs the words to Sia's song.

"Over the past year, in one of the most innovative and radical pop campaigns ever, Maddie Ziegler has become the face of Australian singer-songwriter Sia," reported DazedDigital.

"Describing fame as being like an abusive mother-in-law, in 2013 Sia opted out of the whole game, removing her face from her artwork and all promotional materials.

Instead of appearing in her own music video, she cast reality show Dance Moms star Maddie Ziegler in 'Chandelier;' the video, ICYMI, exploded, and culminated in the release of a second installment featuring Ziegler together with Shia LaBeouf in January for the single 'Elastic Heart.'"

The "Elastic Heart" music video made headlines as some were uncomfortable with LaBeouf and Ziegler's interactions in the video, more so some critics stated that it depicted pedophiliac images. This time there is no room for such criticism as a new piece of art is created featuring Sia's go to star Maddie Ziegler.
