She is very enjoyable, and a refreshing change of pace from most of the crap they pass as music now days.

She's mediocre on her best day. View Quote She is a wealthy and successful, "average" musician... The truth... She is an incredibly successful, incredibly wealthy musician who is living the dream... She decided one day to do what she loved, and she ended up becoming wealthy doing what she loved. "Mediocre"-?-? By "musician" standards, she probably would not be first-chair on a major top-shelf orchestra... But they probably envy the money she makes... |

I admire the self made social media entrepreneurs. In a time when the American dream is attacked by those sworn to defend it, people who defy the powers that be, and build their dream, are worthy of admiration.

Quoted: I've played violin for over 25 years, and in my younger years some of that was professionally. I actually knew of Lindsey Sterling long before her current music career. She's probably the sweetest, nicest, most heartwarming girl ever to pick up a fiddle. But, within the professional violin community she is in fact considered a mediocre player at best. Her skills on a violin are quite decent when she's standing still and using proper technique and all that jazz. But as soon as she starts moving around and doing her little dance thing, he abilities diminish significantly. Granted the fact she can play AT ALL while dancing like that is somewhat impressive, but it's just novelty. I've heard her play with and without the dancing and it's pretty painfully obvious to those of us who know a thing or two about fiddle playing. All her show songs are pre-recorded and she plays along with no pickup feed, they're also heavily auto-tuned and corrected prior. DRhodes and I have spoken of this before, back when more of her stuff was getting popular. She's done a great job of crafting an image for herself, and she's got a very solid sound engineering team behind her as well as excellent composers writing her stuff for her, in fact he latest stuff has been the best so far. That said, I do wish her all the luck in her career. View Quote yet another example of why this is the best site on the internet. we have real experts in everything.

I like her music, listen to it quite often during my commute. No idea as to her skill level, as I know nothing about violins. I just know I enjoy what she puts together.

I enjoy Lindsey because it's entertaining, and I am not qualified to judge her on her actual music ability.

What's your thoughts on David Garret? |

She's probably a blast to hang out with. Even if her skills are considered mediocre by other professionals I am impressed that she was able to put together a successful career from it. A lot of people don't get that far - you can be the best in the world at one thing and still fail.
There are certainly many worse things to listen to on the radio. btw, there is no need to jump Enigma's shit over his opinion. He rendered it respectfully and honestly. |

I don't give a damn about her technique or what the trained ear hears. I enjoy the finished product. Let me put it this way. It is LITERALLY impossible to play violin while doing what she does. It CANNOT sound well because to dance and move and all that while she does it does not allow for the necessary position and technique needed to make playing of the violin sound good. She does not "play" at her performances, it's pre-recorded and when it was recorded she was applying all the proper techniques necessary to make it sound good, or at least attempting to because honestly her base skill wasn't really that great. What then happens after that is a sound engineering team goes through the raw recording and fixes all of that. Then it gets played back while she's on stage and she does her gimmick of dancing about. What's "out of the box" here is that the addition of the violin in a pop song show is different than the other pre-fabricated pop shows. I'm not saying the finished product is bad, I'm just saying we need to be honest about what it really is. |

We had a handful of lookers. Course, we had a good number who had, er, um, 'great personalities.' Yeah... We had a lady who was a member, and her husband wasn't. They had us over a lot. He was an old (amateur) Australian race car diver, and grumpy. They were both very kind and generous. He *refused* to call us "elder." First time I met him he said, "I know it's against the rules to go by your first name, but better tell me yours, or I'll make up a nickname, and start to call you that." He fixed our bikes, bought us food, and treated us well. And he saw how hard we worked at our missions..On my last dinner, he stammered, looked at the ground, and said, "You are a zit-faced teenager, and I will miss you Elder Juni." I just think it is cool to know that even though now she has rock-star status... She once was once dealing with antagonists, knocking doors, and trying to teach folks... |
