Sia Addresses Maddie Ziegler Collaborations Criticisms

(Radio.com) Sia has shared a thoughtful response to recent criticism of her ongoing collaboration with 15-year-old dancer, Maddie Ziegler. A concert review of Sia's show in Sydney, Australia, questioned the pop star choice to put the young dancer in the spotlight instead of herself: "If fame is so damaging," the article asked, "why pass it on to a child?"

Sia has responded to the article in a series of Tweets, echoing some of the writer's same concerns. "This article poses a question I have asked myself often. I do check in with Maddie weekly about whether she wants this, and assure her if she ever wants it to stop it stops," Sia wrote. "It's a conversation we should all be having. Not just myself but all directors, stage parents and agents with their children, clients, charges. Maddie was already famous when I discovered her, but I have certainly expanded her exposure and feel responsible for that. I feel very protective of her and my goal is to empower her in whatever choices she makes."

"Some would argue a teenager can't or shouldn't be charged with making sound choices for themselves and so I do try to choose the best for her always. But I think this is an important conversation," the singer added, along with a link to the article. "What I learned from Maddie is that fame affects her differently than how it affected me. I can only trust that she is telling me the truth. If that changes, we stop." See the tweets here.

Chris Stapleton Teams With Chris Pratt on 'Kimmel'

(Radio.com) Chris Stapleton lived his best life earlier this week (Dec. 4) on Jimmy Kimmel Live! The country star was the musical guest on the show, guest-hosted by actor Chris Pratt.

Before sitting for an interview with Pratt (over Tennessee whiskey), the pair joined forces for an inspired take on Jennifer Warnes and Bill Medley's timeless 1987 classic, "(I've Had) The Time of My Life," from the Dirty Dancing soundtrack.

While Pratt is hardly a trained vocalist, Stapleton's honey-sweet vocals more than carried the comedic performance. Pratt's action-hero training came in handy towards the end, as he played the Patrick Swayze role by lifting Stapelton over his head (with a little help from some purposefully cheesy special effects). Watch how it all went down here.
