Words can't explain how much I love Lindsey. I love her passion. She is the first one to truly make the violin a rock instrument. Taking my niece to see her n next month
soooo many people have used the violin in rock music, it's not even funny. This isn't even rock music. It's dubstep pop stuff. Dream Theater had a violinist. And HE was DAMN good and used an instrument that produced a clean sound.
+ Jthomas Annilo Completely false. The first person to truly make violin a rock instrument is Mark Wood. This isn't even rock.
Jthomas Annillo You must be really new to the Violin to think that this is the first time the Violin has been in rock music. It's been in every single genre of music, that's just how awesome it is.
Some people saying she made mistakes... People, the violin is not an easy instrument you know. You have to study a LOT to play the violin like she does. She is on stage, dancing, having nerves, and you judge her for her little mistakes. Some people don't have respect.
OMG I play the violin and it's hard enough playing standing still, let alone dancing around
Ikr!
It's not about respect, she's on stage and people who listen to and critique her expect her to give a good performance.
There are plenty of violinists that play better than her. The difference is she dances. The problem here? She dances too much to the point where a lot of her notes played aren't there.
There has to be a line drawn between mistakes made and performance given. You can't always say, 'OMG the violin is so hard to play, she's nervous, AND she's dancing!' Of course people are going to judge her, she's PERFORMING ON STAGE.
This isn't a toddler we're giving a hoo-rah to with 24/7 encouragement. She views herself as a professional musician and should be treated as such. And if she gives a bad performance, even her own fans have to own up to that reality at some point.
David Nguyen Her tour was so much better than this, especially the more recent performances. It's actually choreographed and she makes fewer mistakes because she's had a lot more practice since this performance.
I also agree that it's amazing that she can even play at all while moving like that. I can guarantee that any violinist that's better than her would quickly lose quality if they tried to dance while playing.
I play violin and it is REALLY HARD it's hard enough standing!!! Imagine dancing!!
That intro speech though. A huge part of why I LOVE Lindsey.
Before you say that it's bad, like some of you did, try playing an instrument on stage without a music sheet and an electric violin, besides it would be stupid to stay in one place the whole time, she's a really good dancer too, let her show off her talents!
Just because she can do something I can't, doesn't justify the fact that this was a pretty bad performance. She played out of tune and missed quite a few notes, which is simply inexcusable, since she wrote this song herself. If anyone oughta be able to play it without sheet music, it's her.
Look, I adore Lindsey's music. I've seen every music video of hers multiple times and still watch them regularly. And while I don't share her religious view, I admire her passion, her positivity and her view on life. She followed her dream, despite everyone telling her she'd fail and now she's living it, which is simply wonderful.
But if this video is an indication of what her live performances are like, then I'd rather stick to her CZcams videos, thank you very much.
***** ohh.. come on! every musician can play lots of stuff without sheets. Honestly, looks like she doesn't know basics. Her skills are too low for "big live shows"
lera1004 Ok, I wouldn't go that far. She definitely knows how to play some violin, she can rearrange soundtracks into a well flowing medley and even writes her own songs. That takes a lot more than just "knowing the basics".
I don't think her skills are too low for "big live shows" either (though I'm not seeing her filling a stadium any time soon), she just doesn't know when to stop dancing and concentrate on her playing. Which is amateurish, yes, but not unskilled, since she can do both perfectly fine, just not at the same time.
***** I admit, this particular performance isn't that great. Her recent tour performances seem to be much better in my opinion. Not perfect, but still much better than this.
*****
I went to see Lindsey Stirling in concert June 27th, 2014 in Charlotte. Let me just say she sounds amazing live! I took some videos on my phone and when I was watching them later I noticed it didn't sound right-it kind of sounded like this video. I think the recording equipment isn't suited to capture the violins sounds during a live performance.
I'm not even gonna say people said she made mistakes, people just said she missed SO much notes, well guess what, she can't do it PERFECTLY. She uses so much energy into her preformances. And she is unique. Most people just stand still playing the violin while she plays AND dances. Plus there was a LOT of people there probably, she was pretty confident at the start but still, The Kennedy Center.. It's not that easy... What she did took a lot of talent to do.
I hope English isn't your first language.
TurkeyGaming I'm not answering comments like this.
You just did.
TurkeyGaming I didn't mean answering like replying, I meant answering the question itself.
It wasn't a question...
This woman is seriously bad ass. I love the interpretive dancing. That combined with her skills on the violin just explodes with emotion. She's a true artist.
This woman is astounding and the way she plays that violin is just amassing!!!! She does not need any help from anybody!! I have learned to play the flute I'm no where near her level, thank GOD we have people like this!!!!!!!!
Like I always say, Don't think outside the box, BE outside the box! Thank you for being outside the box Lindsey!!
Kees Kouwenberg
Sometimes I like to drink outside the box. 😉
Guys, before you start commenting on all her mistakes while performing, you should first consider how hard it is to play the violin while doing all those movements she does. Movering around alters the bow and makes it messy because it jumps around and it's hard to manage. Second, you should know how hard it is performing with an electric violin, because you can't hear the notes you're playing and can only hear it with the sound system of the stage. I admit that this is not one of her best performances and she has done better. Based on experience, it's much easier to perform with the wooden violin than an electric one. Please try to consider :) Keep spreading the lindsey love :)
***** People were going to. He just nullified their post before they happened and kept this post clean
...and a few bum notes reminds you that she's playing live.
That's why you get monitors, or an amplifier.
🎏🎏🎏 What happened here was when Lindsey began realized that his violin was out of tune, but as she had already started playing, she just try to correct the sound of his violin as he could, maybe it was just a string the loosened that much, but keep in mind that a small error in any instrument makes it impossible to interpret a song professionally and melodica, iMPOSSIBLE!! believe me.
It usually happens that the violin last long without loosening the strings and sometimes suddenly becomes very loose.
🔰🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑🎑
I think Lindsey was not very good luck, especially because it is one of their best songs, but even so it is still very good.
Just a bit of bad luck, please do not throw the blame on Lindsey, anyone can happen to us ❕❕ 😁 :-)
One of my favourite things about Lindsey is how much she gets into it. She enjoys doing what she does and it's so obvious. Plus, she's such a genuine and lovely person.
"Being different isn't something to be ashamed about..." Thank you for that and so true!
Lindsey, when I hear you talk about being different and not being accepted, it makes me want to cry. You are just so awesome!! Be true to yourself and know that your fans love you!!
Violin and ballet are two of the hardest things to perform on the planet individually. Now do them together. Lindsay is a marvel.
I have been watching her for a long time. It's interesting to see how she has gained comfort with her talent, how she does these movements and still play, I don't know how she does it. Amazing talent.
alternatorman GIFTED! ❤❤❤
People also must remember; she's constantly on the road; performing with several concerts within a few days of each other. I went to see her live in Madison Wisconsin and she was absolutely incredible., she rarely missed notes and she was dancing like she always does. It wears her out; she's only human and there are going to be songs that she doesn't do as well on; I don't know where she gets the energy from to dance and play but after 2 hours of nonstop play, I don't know about you guys but I would be exhausted. When I saw her live, she was glistening sweat, it does take a physical toll. It's a different experience watching her live; it made me have that much more admiration for what she can do. She works hard and loves what she does. Even with a few missed notes or bad tuning (which could also be caused by the frequency pitches picked up by the live recording), Lindsey is still awesome and there's nobody I know of that can do what she can do.
I've got to say it she is exceptional not only is she not some random twelve year old who sings moderately well but her violin and dancing is amazing and it stands out she is a rare talent in a group of talent and i'm not insulting singers but it is nice to see somebody who has an exceptional talent who doesn't sing.
I admire this young lady for her talent, her determination, and for the guts to outwardly show her true self. Music is an outlet for so many people. A release and a way to express themselves. Feel the music girl and dance your little heart out!
Just to have so much focus while playing and dance like that... Is impeccable. I am amazed every time I see her! Last time I saw her in real life, I was literally less than 15 feet away from her while she was playing.
How could anyone dislike this video? Lindsey is so amazingly talented! It seems like they dislike just because so many people liked it. They are jealous and wanna make them feel better about themselves. People are so self centered these days.
I think Lindsey is just one one of the many great artist that can't make it onto todays shallow radio. She is an amazing talent and there are many like her that just get a break cause people are really very close minded to music and only buy what the radio stations say are popular. Keep great music alive Lindsey.
*Don't know how I missed this GREAT ********* Video!*
This is truely INCREDIBLE. I've never seen such an amazing talent, such as her.
The fact that she can dance AND play the Violin is seriously amazing. I mean, if I tried to do that I would probably fall, slip, lose the bow and violin and probably break all my bones
She can be as different as she wants to be, she has a fan for life right here!!
I also like how the drums were not all programmed in I really like it when there is someone behind the kit actually playing because that adds another human element to the performance
The statement at the beginning is something I need to take to heart but the live performance really displays what an epic musician she is!
I find all the negative comments about her routine and how she is missing notes, funny, because she must play better than all you haters since she plays to sold out concerts, has several albums, and is playing at The Kennedy Center. Could all you experts please give me your names so that I may look up all your accomplishments.
I know right??!! These people are just complaining about some little tiny mistakes when I bet most of them don't even know how to specifically hold a violin!! It's very hard to play and takes a lot of hard work, patience, perseverance, and time.
She is so talented. I am going one of her concerts in Virginia in June 2015. Will have to drive for a few hours, but I am sure it will be worth it.
Guys, listen. I play the violin so i know how hard it is to play it, not to mention that she IS on stage, she IS dancing and she's probably not completely chill at the moment. So dont go commenting on her little mistakes, she is awesome.
okay, i'm just gonna put this out for you all. when she joined america's got talent, she introduced herself as a "hiphop violinist". that's what she wanted to be known as. saying things like "she shouldn't move more is like saying that a doctor calling himself a doctor shouldn't treat a patient's illness.
so you can criticize her for dancing and playing violin at the same time all you want but the thing is that her hard work paid off and now she's touring worldwide and getting paid for it. it's talent guys. talent.
I love listening to her and she’s inspired my 11 year old grandson to learn how to play!
It brings tears to my eyes to see Lindsey rise above where Piers Morgan voted against her and to where she is today. Lindsey Stirling ROCKS
this charming talented lady is one of Gods wonderful works, that she is true to herself and defying being boxed by the world. God bless her and all us musicians. we are part of heaven on earth.
I was looking for her live videos because I thought it was impossible to play and dance at the same times like she does in her videos.. but OMG SHE CAN ACTUALLY DO IT!! she is incredible!!! I love her!!!
To the people who said she made too many mistakes, i suggest you to watch this vid here on yt: "Lindsey Stirling 'Crystallize' Live Performance!"
SHE IS INCREDIBLE!!! I can barely play the violin when I'm standing still, imagine how hard this could be while she is JUMIPING AND SPINNING AROUND, OMG!!!
Playing the violin is difficult. Playing the violin while doing any kind of movement is dang near impossible let alone dancing while playing it. I know because I played it for ten years. All of Lindsey's videos demonstrate her exceptional level of talent through her music and dance! Excellent work Lindsey!
Who cares about the out of tune e string, or that she missed some notes, what a HELL of a performance by an incredibly talented and humble woman, bravo to her, I would have paid double what those people did to be able to experience this!!!
She's dancing etc, so it's obvious she is going to fail some notes
You all need to listen to the studio version....she's not out of tune, she uses that to express her feelings...she explained it in an interview..
saw her in Ashville 12 21 2018 GOD bless her what a show, wonderful violinist dancer, she made me cry when she asked any violinists in the audience. YES YES YES ...me I shouted, how many girls she may be inspiring to play violin. wonderful blessing she is.
One thing I like about Lindsey is the emotion with which she plays her music.
This violinist plays with such soul and verve, her style is unique and that is what sets her apart form other violinists. She brings her violin to life with her movements and dancing. I have never seen anything like this and I love her videos. Lindsey Stirling is truly one of a kind and simply amazing! I could watch and listen to her all day!
She misses. A LOT. But the fact that she can even MOVE and play and hit so many ON is amazing.
she misses the slide from high to low (the dubstep-y effect), I think it's because it's almost impossible to make such a big slide seamlessly on a violin (the strings are too short for this), she might be increasing the slide in post-production for the music video and album.
Hassan Selim Not really, it's just extremely hard to do the slide then get your fingers back in proper position that quickly. It sounds like she does a partial slide so she doesn't end up screwing up the entire chorus.
Hassan Selim She misses a lot, i was on a concert and i was much better... maybe she was really nervous, i mean, it is the kennedy center :D
Rob Tain Yes, maybe she was nervous. But how can you say that you were "much better?" Have you ever tried dancing and playing at the same time? If you have, does it sound more accurate and neat compared to Lindsey's playing? Don't take this seriously or in an offensive manner. I was just carried away by Lindsey's sentimentallity in the beginning of the video. Hahaha. Lol.
sorry, i wrote i but i mean she :D i just started playing a violin and gosh im a beginner :D she can do it better and i had seen this and also recorded it. sorry for the confusing :)
She is a ball of perpetual energy; never stops, playing and dancing, never thought a violin could sound so good, she must be in fantastic shape, incredible!
All time when i listen her songs, i say 'this is the best and how could it be better?'. But after sometime, she appearing with a new song and allways these new songs beeing my new favorites.. Lindsey exactly know what she do with notes
Those of you who are making comments like "she's missing notes" and "why didn't she tune her violin?" Let me ask you a question...how many of you have performed live? There is always criticism when it comes to live performances because many times the only argument is "it doesn't sound like the recorded version." It's not going to. In a recording studio, they do numbers of takes to make it perfect, then edit it all together with the best takes to make it sound flawless. In a live performance, you only get one shot to make it as good as you can make it.
Now, to those of you who are saying "well she needs to stop dancing around so much and focus on playing." Do you want to just sit there and watch a violinist stand still and play? That's boring honestly. It doesn't matter how good she's playing if people start getting bored because all she's doing is standing there. This girl has heart and a genuine love for what she does, and when she gets on stage, she gives it her all. Not all of her performances will be perfect, and there will be times she messes up even her own songs. But instead of constantly criticizing, why not respect the fact that this girl rose above all odds and is an international sensation? To get where she is, she must have done something right.
The overall point is Lindsey branded herself as the Hip-Hop violinist and a person who is different. Let her do her thing instead of having something negative to say the second a wrong note is played. Here's something else you might want to think of: she probably knows when she hits a wrong note. I mean, it's her song after all.
Nothing but Lindsey love, what a great artist.
Honestly, I really liked the way this turned out. She sounds fine, she's fun to watch, and she's really expressing that emotion.
people dont understand what a video and a performance is really.
especially a unique performance like this
a video is a presentation in the most perfect way possible; we cut parts from it, edit it, trying to make everything look perfect without flaws.
performances is where you show what ur worth, trying to do what u do in those videos and claim that u r worth what u do, unlike some people like miley cyrus or taylor swift who cant sing live properly and still are loved by the public and claim that theyre just so good right now in their videos. one takes her tongue out 24/7, the other keeps breaking up with boyfriends that cant last a week and writes songs about them, rly people...
this is art for god sake, try to do what she did
DAMN RIGHT. I'm giving your comment a standing ovation!! :D
wow you so defensive as if you were lindsey. Like you can tell that she can only move as she strokes which=easy. Basically when she wants to stroke up she can either jump and make her arm rigid or have the violin flat and move left.
she has a violin, try to do the dubstep music she does with all those chords and a very fast tempo. its hard to do what she does and im saying that plenty of people say that she isnt what she is in stage, that she isnt perfect, but dude, if her job were so easy as u say, we'd all be violinists
the music having a fast tempo and lindsey playing at a fast tempo are 2 very different things
that means it is simpler for her? stop talking like youre the pro plz. ur nothing compared to her in what she does
She isn't playing the notes wrong, her violin is out of tune. (Side note: her violin is BEAUTIFUL) And that's to be expected when you play a bunch of songs as complex as hers again and again.
A good violinist can play in tune on an out of tune instrument. Part of playing violin is being able to listen and adjust on the spot.
+Grace Brown Well, try THAT and do a ballet routine. Wow this comment truly proves some people are never happy with anything
+Tianna Violette (Ultraviolette) You mean she really isn't playing
they aren't complex
I think her violin was out of tune but that doesn't mean she didn't work hard!!! As a violinist I know that sometimes the violin won't be perfect but she was still better than any of us because she worked hard to get where she is. Go Lindsey!!
For those that criticise Lindsey for missing notes: Please show me a video of a singer which sings perfect,while dancing at the same time. There are singers which can barely sing live and are treated as artists. Everyone makes mistakes.
Lindsey, you are an inspiration to many! Thank you for what you do!
Lindsey Stirling is an Original and she is Amazing!
wow i cant imagine how hard it is to hit all those notes wile dancing like that but still i loved it
Some of the most successful and talented performers .Were unique with their own style.Enjoy your playing.
I was in music class and my teacher put this on and when I heard the part shatter me I felt so many emotions and I have to say she was so FRICKING good at playing the violin it...made me cry
Awestruck. A preposterous level of excellence. Stunning.
lindsey thank you for sharing your art& heart with us all
Why is she so perfectly perfect? I just admire her
I see people commenting about missing notes and stuff, I noticed it too in the video, but I was at her concert in oslo this month, and she didnt miss more than maybe a note through the whole concert, so she's come a long way from when this was filmed as well!
Oh, who cares about errors? I'm a beginner violinist and just playing this kind stuff well enough like that is incredible!! I saw her live show in Nashville and yes, she did make some mistakes, but the show. was. incredible!! It's so hard to learn violin, and I barely know the basics and I've been playing for almost three years.
Great performance. The beat that kicks in at 2:07 is majestic.
I want to slit my own wrists I swear. She was here in NYC June 18th, and I couldn't go because my school started that day and I was in classes for like 10 hrs! Horrible, shame on me! Next time she's here, I will be in the front row screaming my head off! I love love LOVE Lindsey!
You guys, seriously. It may sound sound she's off key a lot, but I truly think it is the audio not picking up the violin well. Yes, she misses a note here and there, but trust me.....after seeing her live in Pittsburgh a week ago, she's one HELL of a violinist. I was in awe the while time she played. Who else can dnce like that and play a violin? I can't even hold the damn thing right. Lots of love, Lindsey! I'm a HUGE FAN.
What an inspirational musician! Keep the music going Lindsey!
Always so cute and tiny and so full of life you go girl!! Love you always forever your biggest fan. Love;Cathy j. Sanchez

cathy sanchez I love her so much..
from Korea fan Ria Oh..
Ria Oh
Ria Oh thanks love; nice to know of others that love her also. Gods blessings to you always.bye my dear ; have a nice sunday
Finally a video of her actually playing live and not "playing" with a recording.
AGirlCalled NAN she only plays with recordings in some parts of Europe, because they don't allow you to play without the back recording. So, she doesn't really have a choice at those times. What would you rather do, make all of this money touring the world and getting to meet the people you love, or not doing it because you're playing with a backtrack once or twice. Get to know her better, then come here and talk.
AGirlCalled NAN WHAT?!!!!!
She doesn’t use a recording I play violin and I have seen her in person playing and dancing without being plugged in
Why does this song make me cry? OMG!
I think Lindsey did beautifully. Playing the violin alone is really hard and requires patience, hard work, perseverance, and huge amounts of the player's time. Plus dancing. And you have to consider all conditions, like the environment which will affect the sound of the violin, the tune, practice, etc. Lindsey did amazing throughout everything not just this performance.
I would rather hear live music with 'mistakes' 1000 times more than it being faked by miming to a 'perfect' track. Because even with mistakes, the passion is real and that's the true beauty of music.
I am in love with Lindsey Stirling AND Lzzy Hale, (the singer, if some of you didn't know her name yet hehe) so this combination is amazing to me I love it :)
I'm sad to see so many negative comments, but I'm happy so many successful professional musicians, as well as acclaimed music critics have the time to post here. Personally, I enjoy her music and I think she is wonderful to watch live in concert.
They're not as successful as they want us to believe. They're low and clueless.
If she ever comes to Texas I will be seeing her!
I've never heard the studio version and even though some say she did not play the song that well, it still sounds amazing.
This is my most absolute favortie Song by Lindsey. She is simply amazing!
this chick is the real deal. she is a great entertainer.
She is so badass. I am in love with all her videos, so passionate!
amazing performance!
THX CZcams 4 LINDSEY!!!!!!!!
I love her work and talent.
Can't wait to see her in July :D
I get to see her twice, yay!
Honestly, the fact she did this good is astounding. This song was written about her anorexia, of course she's gonna make mistakes. Every musician has that one song they have trouble doing live. Lindsey obviously put a lot of emotion into this song, so it's no wonder she's not as focused as you might think.
+Nikkideamus Osyren Actually not really. Professional musicians make mistakes, but only in the practice room. Look up the greats, like Itzahk Perlman or Hilary Hahn-- there's not a single video of the on CZcams in which they make any major mistakes. Also keep in mind that the music that Lindsey plays is of a low intermediate level, one that most people who practice every day could probably sight read, while the music that professional violinists play is extremely complex and infinitely more difficult.
+upbowstaccatogivesmenightmares Try to side read shatter me or zi-zi's Journey... And look at this performance, making that much movement and hitting most of the notes right is absolutely incredible. Also, the sound of the yamaha violin on the more electric mode does not sound right for everybody. It's just different.
Simon Boland Sorry to break it to you, but the two pieces you listed are actually quite easy to sight-read. There are no complicated rhythms, very few high notes (from the samples I've seen, the highest note is a D on the e string, in third position, possibly the second easiest position on the violin), and no difficult techniques are ever needed for Lindsey's pieces. If you want to know what's difficult, look up any Paganini caprice (I'd recommend 5, one of my favorites). In Linsey's music, there's never any upbow staccato, no left hand pizzicato, no octaves, very few chords, and honestly, a middle-schooler who doesn't take lessons outside of school could play Lindsey's pieces. Point is, it's not difficult. And a performer's job isn't to hit "most of the notes." A good performer hits all of the notes and does even more.
+upbowstaccatogivesmenightmares At the right tempo though? I must I'd be impressed to see that (Or maybe it's just that I'm really bad at reading ;-). Yes I know Paganini, and yes the technique is way more advanced in these pieces. But who are we to judge anyway? I'm just going to say I enjoy watching her twirling around doing her best. She also made countless people fall in love for the violin, which is not the case of any classical violinist these days (at least that what I think)
+upbowstaccatogivesmenightmares But anyway, have a nice day ;-)
Go Lindsey go! She has my support all the way. I really want to meet her, just to hey. Lol. I'll have to go to one of her concerts someday. Her music, videos, talent, passion, spirit and determination are an incredible inspiration... Go Lindsey, go! X
Im so excited to see you in Prague Lindsey ! :)) Checking your videos and performances almost every day, just cant wait ! :)
My favorite artist of all time!!!!!
That's awesome . that's impossible to move and playing violent like that .. and the song was classic .. this is amazing ..
This is one of the few artists in recent years I've actually taken the time and used the money to go purchase the albums; and damn did I love them both. This is the first time I've watched her live (except AGT I think) and damn I hope not all shows are like this one.. Lindsey you're up there among my inspirational people, and your music is beautiful art in every sense; not trying to offend, just putting in one's view on concentrating more on the violin. That is why people go see you. For your music, not just because you are beautiful in your own right.
I have perfect pitch and she had the song down for the most part I think she really didn't mess up that badly trying to play violin and move around like that is just insane I could never imagine doing it and I've been a musician for 19 years course I never played the violin but I had a lot of friends that did and they said that is one of the hardest instruments to ever learn so I have a lot of respect for Lindsey so to all the haters out there just enjoy the music and enjoy the human element because that something you hardly ever see in this genre
AMAZING SONG! One of her best for sure!
Everything about this is beautiful (btw love that violin)
love you Lindsey... forever...I love who you are...
this girl has crazy talent and crazy moves
To everyone complaining, I'd like to see you do better -_-
It's actually easier than you think. I'm surprised she missed her shifts so badly.
Julianna B. Then make a video to prove it
"If I don't practice for a day, I notice,
If I don't practice for two days, my wife notices,
If I don't practice for three days, my audience notices."
-
I don't know the originial source of this quote but it fits this performance quite well. I believe Lindsey is a talented artist but many violin players can play smoother than her even with the dancing. To be an outstanding star violinist she will have to practice for a few more years.
She's outstanding at what she does. She brings life to the audience. You'll never do that.
She has style, talent, outstanding performance.
Picking jaw up off floor. How does she keep her bow from bouncing off the strings? She has improved and grown so much in this genre that she invented. This is so totally entertaining. And she's so doggoned pretty, too. Thanks, CZcams, for giving her and so many other artists a forum to launch their careers from.
i love this performance. shes truely perfectly imperfect and so talented.
There is, as a performing musician, a balance that one needs to achieve. Ask Hendrix, while playing Watchtower, to dance, jump moonwalk, play lying down....and then multiply that times 10 for a fretless instrument like a violin. I know, I play guitar and have tried violin.
If you are a violinist, I dare you to jump up and down for 8 minutes and play a perfect rendition. If you can't, then no comments from you please; just applause for her talent.
Love ya chik....I discovered you on Pandora a few years ago...happy you made it....crowds for miles now n always :) :) :)
Ms. Lindsey, I'm so blown away at your music and you Performance .i'm in St. George Ut.. When will you be coming back here .? Ms. Peggy
Is anyone going to talk about how FLAWLESS she looks??
Seriously, outfit and hair game on point, Miss Stirling.
Great job!!!!! That was awesome!
That's one of the most amazing things i've seen in youtube lately...I just love the way you move/dance in the stage, that "random" dance totally fits this kinda of "crazy-beautifull" style of your songs.
Anyway...I'm from Brazil, so forgive me about my english...
You Rock Lindsey! Keep up the good work!!
