[Lindsey Stirling]

[(Anonymous)]

I'm sure she will conform to your tastes any day now.

[(Anonymous)]

You know one can dislike something without expecting it to conform to their tastes.

I hope this is not a too shocking revelation to you. If it is: welcome to your new improved life!

[(Anonymous)]

this can be resolved by simply listening to the video and not actually watching it

[forgottenjester]

I came here to say this.

[sarillia]

It bothers me too but I think she's cute (not just her looks, in general) so I let it go. But still the dancer in me looks at the moves and thinks about how much better it could be.

[(Anonymous)]

I have a lot of trouble watching fandom people do stuff because it usually makes me cringe.

[(Anonymous)]

I think my niece likes her. The name sounds kind of familiar.

[rubbertea]

The jumpy thing is one of her gimmicks. Also, she's not even playing when she's doing it.

[chardmonster]

HEY COOL PERSON! STOP BEING COOL IN AN UNCONVENTIONAL WAY! BE A MORE SUBDUED SORT OF INTERESTING!

Hey let's all post classical instrument musicians that will outrage OP!

I'll start! Meet 2CELLOS

Those guys are magic

[elephantinegrace]

They just made my water disappear from my bottle and reappear all over my screen and chest.

-realizes who she replied to-

-suggestive eyebrows-

[(Anonymous)]

I get huge second-hand embarrassment from watching her. I think she's mega-talented, and a nice person, but the lurching about and grinning manically at the camera is just too much.

I don't expect her to change, or conform, or whatever, so hold your bile Lindsey stanners. I just think she looks ridiculous. Though I respect her enthusiasm.

[(Anonymous)]

I've only seen her colab with Pentatonix on Radioactive so I cant really say I know much about her style.

But dancing/moving around while playing the violin is nothing new. Case in point, the astounding Máiréad Nesbitt:

[(Anonymous)]

I honestly felt really bad for feeling this because she seems like the sweetest girl ever. So yeah, I just listen and not watch instead.

[othellia]

Haha, I was just thinking about this today.

Ultimately though, I can't really criticize since I look like a drunken giraffe whenever I attempt anything artistically physical so I give her props for just going out and owning it.

[(Anonymous)]

The fiddling and the dancing are fine. But is there now a contractual obligation that all female singers be homogenized to the same uniform standards? Yuck. Good singers don't have to be technically perfect.

[(Anonymous)]

Well, I hope she never stands in place while playing the violin. I love watching her dance, it's so lively and adorable, it would be a waste if she stood in place. Lindsey Stirling ♥ I think my favorite original of hers is Transcendence, I love the video, her dancing, and the song. Favorite cover is definitely Skyrim.

But that's kind of her thing?

[(Anonymous)]

I can understand it bugging you and yeah she only has a very limited number of moves so if you watch too many vids it gets a little annoying and repetetive, but...that's her whole gimmick. The whole dancing-while-playing performance. That's the whole point of her 'style'.

[(Anonymous)]

I'm more bothered by the fact that she's Mormon.

[(Anonymous)]

As a classically trained musician (god, that sounds uber-snobby but it's true) it bothers me too. I like her music but think her videos are ridiculous.

[(Anonymous)]

I like her music but have never seen her videos. I almost never watch music videos anyway. I suspect I'm not missing much.

[gabzillaz]

Her dancing is cute

[(Anonymous)]

Seriously guys. Most everyone commenting has this idea that people who don't like her act are anti-quirky and inventive. I think she's really very talented and I like her music, but I avoid her videos because she's goofy and over-the-top in this really embarrassing way that I just don't like. It's fine that you all like her, but that I don't isn't because I prefer my musicians frowning in formal wear. I get that she has an act, and that cavorting about and looking reaaaalllly happy is that act. I understand that she is different and special. I just think it looks stupid. And so I enjoy her music, and not her dance moves.

[(Anonymous)]

I pulled up a bit of her stuff and honestly, the songs I heard sounded more like fiddle than violin, in which case the dancing-while-playing is not "posing," it's just the way a lot of fiddlers connect.

Case in point, this old clip from a film about Cape Breton fiddlers, showing Natalie MacMaster stepdancing while fiddling:

http://youtu.be/HLz7gCddLW0

Which is always one of my favourite elements of her shows!

I personally like a more traditional dance-hall fiddle but Lindsey is pretty darned good, too.

[(Anonymous)]

Dancing while playing violin does look a bit funny. I think it's because the violin forces the musician to hold the top part of their body at least semi-rigid. That said, it's not really unusual, and if it gets people to notice her, I say well done.
