Lindsey Stirling

So Lindsey Stirling is proof that being sent home from reality shows means nothing, Lindsey was sent home from America’s Got Talent and was told there was no place for dancing violinist.  Since then she’s released 2 albums on her own and is currently touring around the world.  Not bad for not winning the contest.

The first single (YouTube video) that was shown to me was Shatter Me featuring Lizzy Hale from Halestorm.  At first I didn’t know what to expect other than I was told that she plays the violin.  So I thought why not check it out, then I was in a trance watching the video and then checking out some of her other original songs.  I normally don’t listen to electronic music but I think this is different from the majority.  There’s a Celtic feel to it which I was liking.

Then I had to find a live video as I was thinking that she couldn’t be playing while dancing like a ballerina.  So I looked up the reality show and it looks like she was invited back to perform.  Also did a variation of a flash mob for her Master of Tides video.  Also I think it’s great how at the end of her videos she always gives credit to the people who helped make that video happen.  I’m guessing it’s her way of paying it forward, one of those “we made this together follow this link and see what they have to offer” things.

Now I don’t have a pic for her as I have not seen her show yet.  I’m going to have to wait and see when she’s going to make it back to Canada so I can see her show.
