HighAdmiralWiggles
I feel like I'm part of the vast minority who cannot enjoy her videos or music. She seems to do it solely for the attention, (1/2)
particularly from a physical attractiveness standpoint. Don't get me wrong, she's attractive, but she could be popular with her music alone.

I think her videos are ridiculous and silly.
PeanutButterBeggar
I agree with you. I can't watch her videos for very long, because I find them very cringeworthy and the camera work is horrible.
ImCanadianAndImNotSorry
Thank you! Further to that, if you listen to her music without watching the vids, the music is nothing special
A friend of mine kept linking her "awesomesauce skyrim video" and I'm just sitting there watching her prance around thinking "wth is this?"

if you haven't listened to her music you really should she is incredibly talented!

stuntmantan
her music always seems to lack something, and thus sounds kind of bland. i'm sure she's very good, but her music doesn't do it for me.
then you have folks like kevin yang, juncurry, seth g, bryson andres, eric stanley, peter lee johnson, etc. who get WAY less press than her.
flaflaphla
Kevin Yang?
ah shit, i meant jason yang. my brother's name is kevin, and although he plays violin, he doesn't play with madonna's band, haha.
This comment was really weird for me because I went to high school with a Kevin Yang that plays violin :3
so some stereotypes are true, okay? a lot of us grow up playing violin or piano or clarinet or whatever.

I love her for her music. Her being hot is just a bonus.

that doesnt look like proper playing form.

She has vids on youtube. She does interpretive dancing while she plays. It's.. well, sexy as hell.
deardeergod
She isn't really playing when she's dancing, the bowing and fingerings don't match the music. As a player it's hard to watch (1/2)
ithascometothis
Saw her perform live in Madison, although the videos aren't live, she danced the entire show.
But nice to listen to, she's a great player (2/2)
Possibly doesn't play while dancing in the vids for production cost reasons? I don't know.
I've never been to one of her shows, but apparently she does the dancing during live shows.
Trollerton
This. I've been to 2 of her shows(AMAZING), she dances while she plays, it's just; she's more focused on playing than dancing.

Maybe she could just HOLD the violin while the stereo plays violin music.
Your wife doesn't know how to buy uggs?

You know, that might be a good thing.
No, she has an aversion to ugly footwear.
cantfindmelol
I'm a guy and I think uggs look amazing on girls.
Epicsigh
Lindsay can pull it off...
As someone who used to play the violin, this is such an unnecessary stance. It probably even hurts the level of play.
its almost like shes posing for a picture
th3guardian
You obviously haven't seen any of her videos have you?
compassrosewest
Does she really hold get violin on the right side? I don't even... I play viola and I can't process that.
YeahIMadeAnAccountJustForThis
She's not just standing like that, its her 'dance'
larperdoodle
Well she isn't actually playing. She plays in the studio, then dances around with a violin for the music video
Pharis
You've just described every music video ever. This is not a video composition technique exclusive to Lindsey Stirling.
Of course.
absolutelytickledpink
If you used to play, don't watch her videos. The amount of fake in it hurts my soul. She's an amazing musician though.
serenityfast
The videos are fake, but her live performances aren't. A lot of her talent is in how she CAN play while dancing around.
I know that, but as a violinist, it really bothers me that she fakes her videos. It's literally painful to watch. She's fantastic though.

She's not "always" standing like that. It's the same picture people keep reposting all the time.

acunninglinguist
It's her "go-to" stance. She overuses it like crazy in her videos.
therealgiraffe
Because half the appeal of her videos is looking cute. She wouldn't be so popular if she just played like a normal concert violinist :/
IAlwaysPupvoteDog
Waitwaitwait. She does a lot of violin mixed with dance music. She needs to perform to match the music no?
I think she could easily do cool violin covers while standing still, but she prefers to emphasize dancing/visuals as much as the music.
Jackfelldown64
Eh, shes still a pretty fucking good violinist. From a composing standpoint.
PaopuRamen
It's how she dances. You should watch some of her videos, their very enchanting! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aHjpOzsQ9YI

Try playing a violin while you dance. You'll learn to appreciate it.
Whathasbecomeofmylife
Well, certain dances while playing Violin are acceptable. What she does isn't very good for enjoyment of the music, imo.

I think her violin playing is average, and the dancing just looks incredibly awkward
helagos
*hugs ShibbyGTR* Thank you! I thought I was alone. I can listen to her music but I can't stand to see her play.
430pm
No... not at all. It's like magic... "look at pretty scenery and curves so that I don't have to be good at what I'm supposed to be doing."
Balthor
I've never seen or heard her perform, but from this picture I'm pretty sure that I would find anything she does to be annoying, so +1.
ISuperBelieveInYouTadCooper
I'm not big on her dancing, but she is a talented musician and worth checking out. I secretly love the Skyrim video.
KanKan669
I completely agree. She's very talented but her constant tacky movement really takes away from it. The LOTR medley specifically annoyed me.
Nope.
ManOfManyMasks
I've been playing violin for over 20 years, I find her average at best, but the dancing makes me want to push her in front of a train.
fissnoc
You are the only one who thnoks, yes.
AshiikoCx
I just think if she's dancing/playing the violin AT LEAST TRY TO MATCH THE MUSIC. It's so awkward when the dance is jerky and a song is slow
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
YES THANK YOU. I feel the same way when I watch her videos.
scabab
hear hear. but it fits earsore compositions well.
orbaiu
Hear, hear!!
TheThingNoNotThatOne
It's hard to dance and move while playing the violin. The fact that she can even do it is impressive
Exactly! I mean, I don't enjoy her music anymore, but it is still incredibly impressive. People here don't understand how hard it is to do.
bm0n3y
Fact remains, without the dancing, she's average. She's just a gimmick. Good for her for banking on it, but it doesn't make it less annoying
iamireland
No, I find it hard to watch, so I just don't.
tuxedos
No you aren't. I wish she wouldn't bop around so much but if she's having fun then, by all means, have at it.
I AM THE ONE WHO THNOKS
EnigmaNL
I agree. I find her dancing and strange way of moving annoying and her attempts to be sexy are failing. She looks too child-like.
theguppyfish
Annoying. Nailed it.
It is still incredibly impressive.
MC182
I'm not sure she's going for sexy as much as child wonderment. she is child-like and i think her dancing is how a 9 or 10 year old girl acts
and i think that's the point.
Hhm, I disagree, many of her movements are really sensual, just look at that dubstep clip with her in it...
IAmAdolfHitlerCommanderoftheThirdReich
MC182 had it right, it isn't at all supposed to be sexy.
Sure... Haha.
byebyedegree
As a violinist I find it really distracting that her bowing doesn't match, it's like watching bad lipsyncing.
Craycraybanaynay
I teach violin to a lot of kids and it kills me inside when they say they like Lindsey Sterling. But she is keeping them interested..soooo
ThatsNotMickeyMouseThatsJustTitDirt
This...im just a humble guitarist and I can tell shes just shaking her butt for the camera. It doesnt even look slightly believable.
veelafleur
Yes, oh my god, this. Also, her left arm really annoys me too; I get that there are different ways of playing but to me it just seems wrong.
Again, can you dance and still play the violin perfectly at the same time? She does some crazy shit.
No, but if you can't do it, don't pretend you can.
I don't deny she both dances and plays way better than me. Still if you are going to a video like that do it properly.
That's not the point, the fact that she can move at all while playing a violin is extremely impressive. An off bow is the least of concern.
But what you are hearing is not what she is playing whilst filming that hence syncing issues. What you hear is from studio.
Her music is awesome.
rylecx
It really is the best part. She's attractive, sure, but the music is phenominal
correcthorsebatteryperson

IAmASprinkler
She is incredibly talented. However, her half-ballet half-grindy dancing throws me off. Still awesome though!
Elroydb
Her dancing has always seemed silly. But her music is amazing and she is crazy hot
I imagine it's hard to make violin playing and moving urban and rhythmic. That said i don't mind her dance/playing style.

What's so shameful about that? Would you say the same to a Muslim?

Probably. I think he just means because he can't bang her and then walk away. I don't agree with him, just explaining
Probably.

No it's not. She's just a hot chick with a violin.
Found the dorks with worthless music degrees.
An upvote for you, sir. These guys clearly know what they're talking about.
porath
have to agree. she plays well but i've never been super impressed by any of her stuff, even covers of awesome songs. oh well.
THANK YOU!
as i said before downvoted, its aimless robotic arpeggiation through obvious chords, no memorable/identifiable melodies or compositions.
risewing
I have no idea what those things mean, but she comes up on my pandora & compared to the other stuff she always bores me with generic sounds
that's pretty much how i feel about sweep picking
just looked it up, it does seem similar; ignoring rhythm + melody to just play a fast sequence of notes within a scale
I think it's OK sometimes, but usually it's just the easy way out for guitar solos
Obviously that is your opinion. Personally I can't help whistling or humming a few of her melodies to myself any moment when my mind wanders
entropyrat
You know what else gets stuck in your head? Pop songs and catchy TV jingles, neither of which take much skill to perform.
1/2 its genuinely not. its an aimless, unoriginal and thoughtless meeting of a refined and timeless instrument and a genre that will
I LIVE UPSTAIRS :'(
2/3 disappear in 2 years. The tracks lack composition and present an ineffective arpeggiation through repetitive and mundane chord changes
3/3 rather than any form of real musical melody that is either memorable or identifiable. Its music by numbers. Its pointless.

She has vids on youtube. She does interpretive dancing while she plays. It's.. well, sexy as hell.
deardeergod
She isn't really playing when she's dancing, the bowing and fingerings don't match the music. As a player it's hard to watch (1/2)
ithascometothis
Saw her perform live in Madison, although the videos aren't live, she danced the entire show.
deardeergod
But nice to listen to, she's a great player (2/2)
Cilerium
Possibly doesn't play while dancing in the vids for production cost reasons? I don't know.
Cilerium
I've never been to one of her shows, but apparently she does the dancing during live shows.

This. I've been to 2 of her shows(AMAZING), she dances while she plays, it's just; she's more focused on playing than dancing.

As someone who used to play the violin, this is such an unnecessary stance. It probably even hurts the level of play.
MrJohnsonAndTheJuiceCrew
its almost like shes posing for a picture

You obviously haven't seen any of her videos have you?
compassrosewest
Does she really hold get violin on the right side? I don't even... I play viola and I can't process that.
YeahIMadeAnAccountJustForThis
She's not just standing like that, its her 'dance'
larperdoodle
Well she isn't actually playing. She plays in the studio, then dances around with a violin for the music video
Pharis
You've just described every music video ever. This is not a video composition technique exclusive to Lindsey Stirling.
larperdoodle
Of course.
absolutelytickledpink
If you used to play, don't watch her videos. The amount of fake in it hurts my soul. She's an amazing musician though.
serenityfast
The videos are fake, but her live performances aren't. A lot of her talent is in how she CAN play while dancing around.
absolutelytickledpink
I know that, but as a violinist, it really bothers me that she fakes her videos. It's literally painful to watch. She's fantastic though.

acunninglinguist
It's her "go-to" stance. She overuses it like crazy in her videos.
therealgiraffe
Because half the appeal of her videos is looking cute. She wouldn't be so popular if she just played like a normal concert violinist :/
IAlwaysPupvoteDog
Waitwaitwait. She does a lot of violin mixed with dance music. She needs to perform to match the music no?
therealgiraffe
I think she could easily do cool violin covers while standing still, but she prefers to emphasize dancing/visuals as much as the music.
Jackfelldown64
Eh, shes still a pretty fucking good violinist. From a composing standpoint.

Try playing a violin while you dance. You'll learn to appreciate it.
Whathasbecomeofmylife
Well, certain dances while playing Violin are acceptable. What she does isn't very good for enjoyment of the music, imo.

*hugs ShibbyGTR* Thank you! I thought I was alone. I can listen to her music but I can't stand to see her play.
430pm
No... not at all. It's like magic... "look at pretty scenery and curves so that I don't have to be good at what I'm supposed to be doing."
Balthor
I've never seen or heard her perform, but from this picture I'm pretty sure that I would find anything she does to be annoying, so +1.
ISuperBelieveInYouTadCooper
I'm not big on her dancing, but she is a talented musician and worth checking out. I secretly love the Skyrim video.
KanKan669
I completely agree. She's very talented but her constant tacky movement really takes away from it. The LOTR medley specifically annoyed me.
Zebs
Nope.
ManOfManyMasks
I've been playing violin for over 20 years, I find her average at best, but the dancing makes me want to push her in front of a train.
fissnoc
You are the only one who thnoks, yes.
AshiikoCx
I just think if she's dancing/playing the violin AT LEAST TRY TO MATCH THE MUSIC. It's so awkward when the dance is jerky and a song is slow
YouCantKeepJetpackingAwayFromYourProblemsBrian
YES THANK YOU. I feel the same way when I watch her videos.
scabab
hear hear. but it fits earsore compositions well.
orbaiu
Hear, hear!!
TheThingNoNotThatOne
It's hard to dance and move while playing the violin. The fact that she can even do it is impressive
Alozar
Exactly! I mean, I don't enjoy her music anymore, but it is still incredibly impressive. People here don't understand how hard it is to do.
bm0n3y
Fact remains, without the dancing, she's average. She's just a gimmick. Good for her for banking on it, but it doesn't make it less annoying
iamireland
No, I find it hard to watch, so I just don't.
tuxedos
No you aren't. I wish she wouldn't bop around so much but if she's having fun then, by all means, have at it.
larperdoodle
I AM THE ONE WHO THNOKS
EnigmaNL
I agree. I find her dancing and strange way of moving annoying and her attempts to be sexy are failing. She looks too child-like.
theguppyfish
Annoying. Nailed it.
Alozar
It is still incredibly impressive.
MC182
I'm not sure she's going for sexy as much as child wonderment. she is child-like and i think her dancing is how a 9 or 10 year old girl acts
MC182
and i think that's the point.
EnigmaNL
Hhm, I disagree, many of her movements are really sensual, just look at that dubstep clip with her in it...
IAmAdolfHitlerCommanderoftheThirdReich
MC182 had it right, it isn't at all supposed to be sexy.
EnigmaNL
Sure... Haha.
byebyedegree
As a violinist I find it really distracting that her bowing doesn't match, it's like watching bad lipsyncing.
Craycraybanaynay
I teach violin to a lot of kids and it kills me inside when they say they like Lindsey Sterling. But she is keeping them interested..soooo
ThatsNotMickeyMouseThatsJustTitDirt
This...im just a humble guitarist and I can tell shes just shaking her butt for the camera. It doesnt even look slightly believable.
veelafleur
Yes, oh my god, this. Also, her left arm really annoys me too; I get that there are different ways of playing but to me it just seems wrong.
Alozar
Again, can you dance and still play the violin perfectly at the same time? She does some crazy shit.
Abso
No, but if you can't do it, don't pretend you can.
byebyedegree
I don't deny she both dances and plays way better than me. Still if you are going to a video like that do it properly.
Alozar
That's not the point, the fact that she can move at all while playing a violin is extremely impressive. An off bow is the least of concern.
byebyedegree
But what you are hearing is not what she is playing whilst filming that hence syncing issues. What you hear is from studio.
Cilerium
Her music is awesome.
rylecx
It really is the best part. She's attractive, sure, but the music is phenominal

as i said before downvoted, its aimless robotic arpeggiation through obvious chords, no memorable/identifiable melodies or compositions.
risewing
I have no idea what those things mean, but she comes up on my pandora & compared to the other stuff she always bores me with generic sounds
trippinoctopus
that's pretty much how i feel about sweep picking

just looked it up, it does seem similar; ignoring rhythm + melody to just play a fast sequence of notes within a scale
trippinoctopus
I think it's OK sometimes, but usually it's just the easy way out for guitar solos
yeyforresearch
Obviously that is your opinion. Personally I can't help whistling or humming a few of her melodies to myself any moment when my mind wanders
entropyrat
You know what else gets stuck in your head? Pop songs and catchy TV jingles, neither of which take much skill to perform.
