![Lindsey Stirling - Christmas C'mon (ft. Becky G) [Official Video]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/D-dwmYeLLng/mqdefault.jpg)
For everyone saying that I've lost who I am as an artist and you miss the old lindsey...just because I sang two songs on a Christmas album and worked really hard to learn some point ballet, doesn't mean I've lost my center. Aside from this and mr. grinch, all my other videos this year have been full instrumental, violin heavy songs and the videos were artistic metaphors with greater meaning... aka, the kind of content I am known for. I put a lot of time thought into making my art entertaining, artistic, and or meaningful. But Sometimes I enjoy trying new things. I strive to keep my content full of variety so I like to try new things. I also seek to uplift, and I really try to be a good role model. Just because I look pretty and dare I say, sexy in a video doesn't mean that I am a "wannabe" "Barbie" "pop star" that has lost her sense of value. I draw the lines that I think are appropriate for me and it is up to you to draw the lines that are appropriate for you. Don't judge me because my line is different than yours. It is never our place to judge others. The way we view others is actually more of a reflection of how we feel about ourselves.
Love that you are trying new things! I'm always amazed by your creativity and excited to see what's in store next. I've been watching your channel since you first appeared on AGT and you never cease to amaze. We saw you and Amy this past summer in Charlotte and can't wait to see you perform again in Asheville. I know it will be worth the 2 hour drive! Btw, you have a really nice voice!
@@MsBelle420 The math shows your incorrect. Most fans like this video. Currently, 61,000 likes and 4,500 dislikes. 93% like it while 7% don't. While you can never please everybody, saying that most fans don't like this is simply not true.
@@BrianNC81 math smath... obviously the feed back is seriously getting to her because if what you say about math is true then why this sort of comment if only 7% are not liking...hmmm so much whining over such a tiny number or could it be the numbers are wrong. She has never back peddled or explained herself on her Art before so why now?
I personally thought the video was great, it's nice to try new things and express and expand on your creative but not losing touch of who you are, I think the fans are just worried and concerned that you end up getting the fame to your head and become like how most mainstream "artists" are now a day and lose the uniqueness that is you, I think the fans are over thinking it but I can see where there coming from but that's how I see it, but I know Lindsey wouldn't change like that she's too awesome, she just want to mix things up and tryouts new things but still be her talented self that we all love.
Just ignore them, Lindsey. Critics these days are out of control. High on online-anonymity. But at the end of the day you still have their money and their RUclips views. lol.
Lindsey, not only have you NOT lost who you are as an artist you have gained so so much... I remember talking to you about how nervous you were to ever sing, and now look at you! I'm so so so so proud of you. Also you kill it in this, and Luna is A STAR!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!
Man I wish you two would collaborate again! Been so long.
I SO agree!!! You’re AWESOME! You both are awesome!!
Well said. Different, but enjoyable. Being an artist means adding variety and trying new things. Some people can't handle change. You are still you. Now tell me, do you decorate the shiny, sparkly electric violins or can you buy them somewhere?
You just can't simply grow and evolve as an artist doing the samething for the rest of your life.
Those that complain about you chaging are the same people who will complain about you getting stale and repeative.
As we say in dis streets:
You do you gurl!
💃👏👍✌
So agree will all of you. Keep up girl. One of your loving fans.😘😘
First she mastered the violin... then she danced. She then played violin while dancing. Next she mastered dancing, then she sang... She now plays the violin, dances, and sings... all at the same time!
i dont think she sang and played violin at the same time at any point in this vid..
@Matthew Stratton She does a lot of covers as well.
Matthew Stratton She didn’t write this song.
Whatever.
she's also acted, and soon to conquer the fashion world
Wait! Lindsey can sing too? The whole package all in one wonderful gift.
Triple threat.
It's Lindsey.... Does it really suprise u? Lol She's THEE best!😎😊
I love hearing her sing
Totally agree. Sooo talented ❤️
I am a great fan of Lindsey I listen to her all the time
For every dancer talking about her pointe skills. I am a ballet dancer and I am proud of her for doing pointe. You can tell she’s not the most experienced, but you can tell she worked really hard for it, so leave her alone!
I can't do that major props
Camille W I agree. I wish I can do what she can .
I agree it is very difficult i wanted to be a ballet dancer and took ballet classes when i was 7 it was hard so i quit
It's not point shoes. It's demi pointe
@M.J. Yt i know i do ballet as well intermediate. so we are on pointe
YES Finally a track with you singing and playing the violin - you amazing, talented beautiful person :)
She really ought to sing in more of her songs, she is my favorite!
She also did the vocals in Stars Align, although that wasn't really singing it still counts 😊
Lauren Miler hello Lauren
She sings and plays violin on Firefly too ^_^
Don't forget her cover of the lord of the rings melody, she done a very small vocal part as well
I love that she’s singing in this . Usually she has other artists singing
I know that's what I thought
Well she didn't write the song so it makes sense she sings it if she wants credit
Rose Hope listen go firefly from Barbie starlight adventure! She sings that too!
She has a beautiful voice
Beautiful vocals, original and authentic performance! 🤗
She looks like she's having so much fun here and honestly, the music is so fun and Christmassy
I've heard other renditions of this song and didn't like them. Lindsey keeps the coy-ness that Eartha put into it.
It does look like she’s having a good time but she’s probably going through a lot of pain to because in pointe you have stand on your toes on wood.
Can we take a moment to look away Lindsey doing pointe? Now I'm no ballet dancer but I do know that pointe is hard, you're on the literal tips of your toes. She looks like she's been doing it for years. I know there was a ballet theme for Shatter Me, but my goodness. Look at her effortless gracefullness!
Instead of talking about the video itself or the content I have to say the skill that went into this video is actually very amazing. We all know her for her violin skills but can we talk about the vocals and ballet? I was unaware she had such a pretty voice. And as someone who is very fit and exercises 2 to 3 times I week I know you have to be very strong to pull off the point talent. That is all you can go on with your day
Listen to I Wonder As I Wander by Lindsey. Her vocals blew me away when I heard that song.
otaku nation
I listened to her cover of dance of the sugarplum fairy, and my ears were bleeding because she used way to many open e’s. It’s like she doesn’t know how much better it sounds when you close the e string.
YES! Thank you!
She is multitalented and magnificent!
@@frankiero2803 I've done 2 years of violin, 7 years of choir, and my sister has done maybe 10 years of violin and we love her. We have sensitive hearing and we have nothing but good things to say. How many ppl can play violin while doing a back bend lol ? 🙄 that song is awesome hater.
A good response to anybody talking against Lindsey's pointe skills is that nobody starts out perfect when they try something new. Telling her to "put those shoes away" or to "not try if you don't have the proper technique" is ridiculous.
The only way that a person can learn proper technique, and become skilled in an art or in anything is to practice and work hard for what they are trying to accomplish. Lindsey has way more skill and ability in ballet than someone without any training, and showing what she has accomplished so far is something we should be excited for not so criticizing of. We wouldn't be so critical of any other person who is performing a display of what they have learned, it's better to congratulate her on what she has accomplished and encourage her to keep at it than to tell her to give up.
And on a similar note: I am glad to see that Lindsey is trying out singing as well. I think that the fact that she is still trying new things and expanding what she can do as an artist is awesome and inspiring as a long-time fan of hers.
Edit: also you should watch the behind the scenes if you haven’t. She’s so cute and excited about her accomplishments in that video 😭😭
Trevor Rhyans Most dancers train for 3 years 5 hours a week before gaining enough strength and technique to be put en pointe. Pointe shoes are not really the type of thing you can throw yourself into. In order to avoid injury you need to have a lot of ballet technique that Lindsey lacks. She is much better than most and the most complicated thing she did was an échappé so I’m not particularly mad or worried. But your logic is flawed.
But really all that matters is that she looks _fantastic_ on pointe!!
@@blah7983 I appreciate that you appear to know what you're talking about when it comes to pointe and ballet, but I fail to see where you addressed how my logic was flawed?
My main point was to say that if she is in her (...let say for the sake of this discussion) first year of training on pointe, that we should support her journey through learning the proper technique. Chances are that at her level of professionalism that she has a legitimate teacher advising her on how to learn pointe and ballet properly.
Just as we would support a child performing at their ballet recital whilst in the earlier part of their education, we should also support Lindsey in this performance which is taking place in the earlier part of her education.
Trevor Rhyans I think what most people were saying was that they were worried that Lindsey would injure herself due to lack of technique. I know people that have injured themselves on pointe and it’s had permanently damaged their ankles. Pointe takes years of work, and even when you are finally able to get up on pointe you stay at the barre for a couple years more. It’s clear to see that Lindsey does not have the proper technique or foot arch or ankle strength, and that could lead to permanent lasting injury which I believe is what a lot of viewers are worried about.
Trevor Rhyans I’m not sure you’re understanding the actual dancers here. It’s not that she needs more practice, she needs to strengthen herself because it’s UNSAFE.
Lindsey, you have a gift don’t let people tear you down just because you sang a song. You have such a beautiful voice keep it up Lindsey your amazing :D
Edit: FOR YOUR INFORMATION EVERYONE SHE IS A SINGER,DANCER,SONG WRITER AND A AMERICAN VIOLINIST SO SHE HAS NOT LOST HERSELF SHE WHEN EXPRESSING HERSELF!!!
Loving all these Christmas videos! Not to mention your wonderful singing and dancing! ❤️
Beautiful singing and wonderful dancing!
This is her voice?? Why didn't I piece it together sooner?? It's so beautiful!!
Christian Twichell I know! She's been holding out on us all these years!
I was expecting the video to be a full violin cover but you have an amazing voice
Hamilton Love nice username👌🏻
@fardexwertyu if used properly
TrashingMusicals thanks
Got to love the overly emphasized Auto tune, doesn't even sound like her
For those saying that Lindsey has 'lost herself' simply because she has decided to try something new let me ask you these questions. How is your artistic/ music careers going? How is your youtube channel doing?
You see it's easy to sit behind a screen and type away while your safe at home all snuggled up somewhere. Lindsey has struggled, sweated, cried, bled and even injured herself (Dancing with the Stars) to get to where she is now after being told she wouldn't get anywhere! So if she wants to spread her wings and see how high she can fly i will support her as much as i am able to and be the wind beneath those wings. This woman has inspired and bought joy and hope to so many people (myself included) that i hope she continues to grow and develop her talents in all ways she can!
To Lindsey: I love your videos. I enjoy watching you dance and play the violin and i've really enjoyed hearing your voice fully. I always listen to your music when i need a pick me up. I suffer from depression and Ulcerative Colitis, and listening to your music is one of the many things that get me through the darker days. i hope you will continue to reach for the stars for many more years to come!
❤❤❤❤ I do the same thing I have depression her videos always put a smile on my face
I have to wonder, does she know just how absolutely gorgeous she is. One of the best musical artists out there today!
Agreed!
I agree too
This is gorgeous! Your dancing was amazing! You sing so well! And your playing is phenomenal! I love it so much! ❤❤
I know right
Got to admit that new dancer pretty cute. Also familar. Seen her around before. 🐕💕💕😁💖🎅
I love that you continue trying new things! That’s a great example. Some might not prefer this video style but it’s great art and you all did a fantastic job together. Ballet? Good for you! Singing? Keep it up! So in love with the rich colors in this video, different than many Christmas themes but this song is different too and it fits perfectly. Great job!
Arwensdorf this comment is so wholesome
for me it's more of a I like it cuz she's a beautiful singer but at the same time I hope she doesn't end up doing it more than she plays the violin I'm ok with it if it's like here where it's a couple of tracks an album cuz again I don't mind the experimentation cuz she's a great singer
While I agree, this song still gives me the willies though.
Nobody even knows who this girl is and this theme is not hers or her idea, it's Melanie Martinez's theme. This is just a cop off of her
Arwensdorf ballet isn’t something you just put in a video, she’s had that skill in her bag of tricks for a while. She’s on point.
Who else is ready to hear a Lindsey Stirling song on the radio???
I hear Love's just a Feeling at my job all the time
I heard her Carol of the Bells on the radio as I left Fantastic Beasts and the Crimes of Grindewald
I heard "Love's Just a Feeling" from the overhead speakers at my local grocery store.
I heard her "Shatter Me" at my job sometimes
L.A. Riddle did you like the movie?? Ik it’s irrelevant but I’m curious 😂
Listening to this in 2019. For some reason, I feel compelled to present her with a convertible, yacht, duplex and a ring.
I must be Santa...
Seriously, forget what anyone might say. Lovely voice. I loved the song. Just keep doing you.
That dog doing the dances is so freaking cute and precious
Luna is the sweetest dog ever!
Her voice is amazing!!
She has alot of talent!!
Her violin skills are awesome!!
This song is so cute!!
Love her!!
Strong power thank you
I love this! The song, the sets, the costumes, Lindsey's pretty voice, her violin playing, the dancing, Luna's guest appearance and Lindsey just clearly having fun with it is sheer perfection. I think I like this one better than her "Grinch" video. Way to step it girl! You not only made me smile, you just made my whole evening. Thank you!
It's almost like artists can do whatever they wish with their talent. You owe no one an explanation, but I understand some people are happy to point fingers. I for one love your work and will continue to follow and support it until I don't. You do you, girl.
I suspected she could or might sing at some point. Wow! To see her singing and dancing with no violin was a pleasant surprise. She does play violin but it's not the focal point. Even the dog is awesome. This is next level Lindsey!
I can't believe so many people are so scandalized by legs! Seriously people, this isn't the Victorian era. Uncovered legs and a poppy Christmas cover do not mean Lindsey lost her soul, or whatever nonsense people think is going on.
Its not the first time she showed her legs right .. Like that she is making something different sometimes
If people were to go back a few years they would see that she has always had bare legs during her live shows. Sometimes she had leggings on but I would imagine those got tossed away because they were just too dang hot to wear and restricted movement.
I'can
I think whats happening is lindsey had a different style, this more ad for GAP style which is a bit offputting. source: am a male, love legs, nothign wrong with them. as an guy in the ad industry, this is ... cand find a better word but cheap*? not much concept.
So... I'm not supposed to be turned on?
I’ve never really liked this song, but I can’t help but absolutely LOVE your version! It’s so pretty and perky and fun and cute! And you have such a pretty voice. The video is incredible as always, too. Love you lots! Thanks for another little christmas gift, Lindsey!
CJ Yay - Absolutely Agree!
Así es
CJ Yay I agree, I’ve always found this song annoying and cringe worthy, but Lindsey really blew my mind :D
Yes. I agree. Every version before Lindsey is very cringeworthy.
I'm not jamming out to this in the middle of September or anything.... I totally am lol it's one of my favorites!
BoomStar 15 me all year round
May 28...
I’m rocking out to this during quarantine in june
Well its August now. Lol. Me too.
And I’m here to tell you a year later I’m jamming this in August
My girls on trending...yes another hypnnotizing video masterpiece!
you realize trending is tailored to you right?
Thomas Chisum lol nope... Now i know
@@Rutrohraggy124 No. I didn't realise that! I'm a Stirlingite, so I guess Google knows me well enough :)
@@Rutrohraggy124 Wait what. I've been on RUclips since it's beginning and I wasn't aware of that. Wow.
Was that Lindsey singing?? If it was she was amazing!
Watch out for the "experts" will come on here and warn about how she will ruin her voice and that she is singing all wrong...Welcome to the RUclips comments section.
It really is her, and she sounds even better live! Shes full of talent!
I think it was
@@cuivre2004 your profile picture made the comment funnier.
ya lindsey this magnific
Her singing and ballet skills are improving so much, I'm like a proud mom 🤧
Enrick Fall, i am one who appreciates the dedication of a dancer’s physique and I couldn’t help but admire the strength in her legs even over the backups (who were absolutely beautiful and talented) but seeing the muscle movement is what takes me to the ballet whenever I can.
@@peeptoeslingback6873 Right? Nice!!
Cmon now, I wouldnt go too far. She doesnt sound anywhere close to this live. Her dancing is amazing though.
well her pointe skills are atrocious
Enrick Fall Are you her ballet teacher?
2019 and still my favorite version
Kendrick Perez same
Iijg
December 2020 and it's still a great version in the way only Lindsey Stirling can do it. Bravo!
2021 and this song still makes me uncomfortable.
Not the video or anything like that...I just find the words kinda weird...
IKR!!!!
For anyone who is calling this video sexual should recognize that she didn't sing the most sexual lyrics. I am proud to see her evolve her music. She is experimenting. Every creator/artist should try something new. Keep it up, I can't wait to see what's next!
You are proud of something that someone else is doing that you have absolutely nothing to do with? Seriously?
Nobody is calling it sexual, just you
Я с тобой согласен Даниэль. Вот только почему столько много дизлайк,это редкость для Линдси
I actually thought her Grinch video was more sexualized. This one she smiles a lot more and so comes off as her just being hot
Just wait till record labels & Hollywood kicks in .........
Dear Lindsey,
I’m a beginner violin player and not very good at it, but you have inspired me to keep practicing! Thank you!
Ok, why are people hating on Lindsey for learning new things? I am an equestrian rider and my trainer and I fully believe that if you do not continue to learn different styles and techniques in all fields you never improve in your main field! P.S. I am so proud of you Lindsey I have been a fan for a long time. You are so talented and beautiful! Continue to do what makes YOU happy and makes YOU feel a sense of accomplishment, I know you will get better each year!
Because people live sad lives and want everyone else to be miserable. I can't do anything but laugh at the keyboard warriors that will never amount to anything in life!
She learned pointe but she wasn’t on the box completely and that can result in a serious injury... but I agree itherwise
Everything is fine except for the fact that she is dancing on pointe. She’s nowhere close to being on her box with her right foot, which can be quite dangerous and lead to injury. She could’ve done it in regular flat shoes instead, which would be a much safer option.
Hey Lindsey. Do not listen to people who are hating on your talent. First of all, what you do with your amazing talent is your world. Your joy. We are people on the outside looking into that world of yours. You have allowed us the privilege to get glimpses. Again, of YOUR world. Nobody has any right to judge. If they dont like what they see, they can move on to the next window. Please do not let others voices cloud how you see yourself or feel about yourself. I have a 5 year old daughter. Since she was 6 months old I played your music videos for her and she has loved you ever since. Because of you, she was inspired to get into ballet and she is a fantastic dancer. My point is: you are an inspiration to the right people. Thank you for dancing with my baby girl :)
So cute! Glad to see her trying new things. These people complaining about it don’t know what they’re talking about. How was the video uncomfortable? I hit the replay button about eight times.
Yeah, I think I hit it about 8 million times. And @Chris Green why?
AEPtheLabyrinth I bet I can hit the replay button more times than you >:D
Great for you :-)... you obviously don't have 14 yo, 12 yo, & 10 yo boys watching, though.
*Beautiful Christmas songs, voice, talent, and adorable dancing dog!*
Keep up the good work Lindsey you inspire us all everyday ^^
Lindsey is on POINTE! Literally!
She's been on her toes for quite a while. This really shows it! :D
It’s on pointe
@@brennanhogue1747 ah yes, thanks
The complainers should know that artists are always searching for different and new ways to express their art and creativity but some fall short in skills or ability to grow and get stuck in one level, I think you all should be congratulating and recognizing how much Lindsey has achieved from playing in her living room to where she is now (please don’t tell me you are in your living room now). Keep exploring and bringing us more wonderful things, be safe.
She just keeps adding new skills! Singing, ballet... not to mention professional dog trainer! ;-)

You have a beautiful voice. You play the violin beautifully. You dance beautifully. And you dog is adorable. Please never stop creating beautiful music and never stop being you. You're an inspiration.
I love when Lindsey innovate her videos, doing new stuffs like dancing, singing, 'cause she's amazing! I only miss sometimes her old videos "way" when she's playing her violin potentially...
Chris Green dancing and singing is sin?
I honestly do not know why people complain. Don't pay attention. You have a multitude of gifts that God gave you. Change and growth is not only vital but keeps us interested and teaches us that there is more going on on life then just what we do and know. I love EVERYTHING you do. I am a mom and grandma that just started learning the violin because you inspired me..even at my age. I tell my sons..." never ever let others opinion of you define you. You are master of your destiny and you can do anything..and in fact do lots of EVERYTHING " SO AS A MAMA BEAR..that's my advice to you...bit since I've been following you,I know you already know that...or else you wouldn't be where you are right now.
Even negative views are views. They merely add up as well. Take it and run with it Lindsey! You are amazing!!!! Don't ever let anyone tell you anything different.
Much love to you.
Keep growing!❤❤
❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🙏
Am I the only one who didn't know she could sing?😍😍😍
Yes.
Bombii no
Yup
I have heard her sing in her music video "I Wonder as I Wander."
I wonder as a wander and even older, lord of the rings video she sings and its phenomenal.
Wait... singing and ballet in addition to awesome violin skills? Wow!
That was pointe and she is not strong enough to do it
@@baileythompson8774 yes that's what I'm trying to tell ppl too
Why? I have no doubt people have told her as such and they’re not exactly going to re-shoot the video. So what’s the point of the criticism? Gives you a feeling of superiority?
@@ta.7666 she can really hurt herself doing that, and we r just worried about her ankles
Nobody can say shes lost her center but her. I dont care if she sang in 2 whole music videos and did pointe. If she loves what shes doing she hasn't lost herself so back up. Thank you for coming to my Ted talk
Define cute:
1. Attractive in a pretty or endearing way.
2.Clever or cunning, especially in a self-seeking or superficial way.
3. Lindsey Stirling.
Go boy or girl
4) That look at 2:20 on the video.
Don't forget 5) her dogo
Right answers, wrong order...#3 should be #1.
*Lindsey Stirling's creativity from a music theory point of view.* I just did a little comparison of 4 versions of Santa Baby, including the original version by Eartha Kitt, covers by Kellie Pickler and Gwen Stefani, and Lindsey's version here. I wrote down the chord progressions used in each and made note of the style and then compared them. What I learned is that the same out-of-the-box thinking we've come to expect from Lindsey's music is very much on display. To begin with, take a look at the two chord progressions featured in the A and B sections of the original song by Eartha Kitt:
Progression 1: Db, Db/F, Eb, Ab
Progression 2: F, Bb, Eb, Ab
In music theory, we assign roman numerals to chords based on their relationship to "tonic." Think of tonic as the root note of the song - the note that everything wants to come back to. If you sing Happy Birthday and stop just before singing the last note, you'll notice how it just doesn't feel finished. That's because that last note is the tonic pitch of Happy Birthday, and it's the most important note of the song. Roman numerals refer to the scale steps of a song, and tonic is always roman numeral I. Most popular songs begin and especially end on a I chord, and they frequently revisit it during the middle of the song to give us a strong sense of where tonic is. Here are the Roman numerals for Eartha Kitt's original version:
Progression 1: I I6 II (or ii) V
Progression 2: III VI II V (leads back to Progression #1)
Uppercase Roman numerals mean a major chord, and lowercase mean minor. The third chord in Eartha's first progression could either be a major or minor II chord, because it leaves out the note that would that would determine this. As far as chord progressions go, these are pretty standard in popular music. The first progression is very much like what we'll commonly hear in popular music on the radio. The second is a little more creative and makes use of what we call secondary dominants to temporarily make us feel like tonic is shifting to different notes and creates a stronger musical pull. We would usually even write the Roman numerals to reflect this, but for simplicity I skipped that. Anyway, it's a fine little song that doesn't shift too far from what we usually hear.
When we analyze Gwen Stefani's version, we see that it is extremely similar:
Progression 1: I vi II V
Progression 2: II VI II V
As we can see, the only chord that changed was in the first Progression where the I6 was replaced with a vi. This is an _extremely_ common choice in popular music. It doesn't change the sound much from the original, because a I chord and a vi chord share 2 of 3 notes. Stylistically, Gwen's version also remains very similar to the original.
Kellie Pickler's version:
Progression 1: I I6 II V
Progression 2: III VI II V
Kellie's progression matches the original. There are some extra nuances in the accompaniment, but overall the feel and chords stick close to home.
And now Lindsey Stirling's version:
Progression 1: IV ii vi V
Progression 2: ii vi ii III
We can quickly see that there is a lot more that's changed here. The only chord that lines up directly is in the first progression with the last V chord. But even more interestingly is what is clearly missing. The I chord - the tonic chord - is nowhere to be seen. And in fact, we never really hear it played throughout the entire song. If it was not for the melody sung and played by Lindsey, we might even be fooled into thinking this song was in a minor key. This is interesting, because we're never made to feel like the song isn't resolving properly! It sounds quite normal on the surface, but it's definitely a very different take from the original. It's not something we hear in most popular music we listen to on the radio. Stylistically, Lindsey has also brought this into a much more electronic place than any of the other 3 versions. In fact, when I compare the actual chords used here and the stylistic elements, I find more similarities between this and Crystallize than I do with the other arrangements of Santa Baby.
communityband1 Excellent analysis! You should make it into a RUclips video!
@@lutheranninja1819 Thanks! I should think about that, because there are some cool things to show. In general I've been really impressed with how much effort went into differentiating these Christmas classics on Lindsey's album from their originals. It wasn't an easy task to retain the essence of the originals while changing them so drastically, and Lindsey and her entire team deserve a ton of credit. And it's not all just different chord progressions or styles. For example, her cover of "Mary, Did You Know" changes up a ton of things and even mixes in a famous classical melody. One interesting little thing I noticed when looking at some of her past covers: her cover of Boulevard of Broken Dreams is actually one where she _did not_ stray from the original chord progression. But in a way, this was very fitting, because that song already had a bit of Lindsey in it. The main chord progression is none other than the one she used for Crystallize!
If Mozart, a far better composer than Lindsey will ever be, played a violin behind a bunch of trash bins being hit with a bat, does it matter if he was the one playing the instrument? No. So, if you stick some garbage pop music, with an auto-tuned voice in a song, does it matter if it's composed decently? No. There goes your argument out the window, and I love it how you're still sucking up after seeing you several months ago... Do you have a life? Well, based on your long essay, probably not... Also, people are complaining about this being suggestive, which, even if she says otherwise, is nothing close to "appropriate" or for a "role model" to display to kids. It's some low-end "entertainment" for views, and it's mixed with suggestive dancing and skimpier clothing than the Mormon community likely is fond of, but let's it pass, because Lindsey's a celebrity... If so many people find a problem with this, it's not some single-minded view from a random troll. It's the better half of her fandom correcting her from getting even worse into this crummy form of suggestive filth.
@@johnavery2438 One thing, Are you suggesting that you don't have a life also?(for your long essay......bwt I do .)
John Avery better half? Wut? Half? And youre not a troll? Nor hater?
Why does everyone think this is her “new music?” It’s called a cover. She’s done them from the very start. SMH
Really good to see her trying new things and loved the video also.

This is a cover?

Bad songs
@Nauman Malik I feel like she'd prove us wrong just because this convoy was had.
@@quiinamyx5615 I was just going to say isn't there a video where she is walking on water. Lol. If I remember correctly.
I do not typically comment on videos but after seeing your comment Lindsey, I felt a need to chime in... you, are an artist with a variety of talents. You can sing, you can dance, and you can play the violin with perfection... I dont know who made their judgments against you, but I say keep doing what you're doing. I think its awesome that you're expanding your horizons as an artist and I genuinely hope you will continue singing... I wish I had the talent you had... I would love to put vocals and music behind the lyrical poetry I have spent many years of my life writing. But I dont have that talent; hence I will enjoy listening to yours and every other artist who touches my heart in some shape way or form. Keep up the great work! I look forward to hearing more!
I'm only marginally acquainted with Lindsey Stirling; all I know is Lindsey Stirling, violin, that's about it. But it frosts me when people slag on others for trying new things. When you try a new thing for the first time, you don't expect perfection. You do it anyway! That's how you grow. That's not to say that I think she is deficient here; I think her singing and dancing are terrific.
I though I was the only one that played their violin in the bathtub... I guess not 😂
@SherlockHolmes
...... things just got awkward
Lol

Haha 👍 solid
I left a comment on here and I felt bad about saying what I said so I’m here to apologize and say this instead:
For all the dancers complaining:
Remember, when you first started pointe, you couldn’t go all the way up either. It’s normal. Leave her be. She is trying her best and is doing really well. We’ve all been here with pointe. It’s difficult. Her teacher wouldn’t let her on pointe if she didn’t think Lindsey was ready. Leave her be, she is trying and that’s all that matters. I’m proud of her!!
Ummm still not right cause shes not a dancer .
She also did cultural appropriation so
@@reesepradovasquez4530 how is this cultural appropriation??
I've never really liked this song, but I can listen to Lindsey's rendition over and over again. Keep up the pointe work, Lindsey! It takes time to master and it took guts to put it in your music video.
You are an amazing person with amazing abilities. Don’t let any negative comments discourage you Lindsey. You should definitely continue to expand your abilities. I’m a singer and I just bought my first ever violin. I’m ready to be expanding my abilities. Your music brings me so much joy and happiness and I can’t thank you enough for being my inspiration for learning violin. Thank you Lindsey 😃
Why can't people be just a bit different every once in a while? Why all the negativity when variety is spice for life? I think it's a festive video for a festive season, and it's both playful and fabulous; nothing to criticize about...
lol it's a cover not really differnt just a clone
@@nycbklynrmp A) Cover doesn't equal a clone at all. B) Different from usual music
@@rphawks6250 Exactly. Thanks for the explanation. I should have stated clearer
You can still be a fan and not love everything she releases, I absolutely respect her as a person as she is amazing to fight back and succeed after all the cruel life events and her mental health issues, I've loved the vast majority of the stuff on what I would call her proper albums meaning the self-titled one, Shatter Me and Brave Enough, I really enjoyed the documentary Brave Enough documentary even though it was a very traumatic and difficult watch in parts, these Christmas cover versions do very little for me though, this one especially as it's a song I never liked anyway and have heard a millions times before through my past work working in a supermarket, I look forward though to the day she releases her next original album as I hope it'll be as good if not better than the other 3 albums I mentioned. To be fair there are no musical artists who I like every single song they have ever released, it doesn't stop me having artists who I think are absolutely amazing though, Lindsey Sterling is definitely one of those artists.
The fact she's suggesting being "playful" in this entire video does deserve all its criticism. This is probably the lowest she can hit in terms of "entertainment."
As a ballet dancer who has been dancing for 12 years straight, and has pointe shoes, I am genuinely concerned about the way her ankles looked. Don’t hurt yourself Lindsey! It takes a lot of training to dance on pointe shoes, and it’s not worth breaking an ankle over. 😣
She wasn't all the way on her box and I'm genuinely concerned. In her other videos I don't remember seeing her ankles like that, so maybe it's just a shoe problem. Either way I hope she works on her strength so she doesn't get hurt
Some people are jealous...
Yeah her right foot wasn’t over the box and that can be dangerous. Love her and hope she being safe
Everyone's different....
I don’t ballet dance, but it does look painful.
Just saw her tonight performing her snow waltz tour in Asheville! Lindsey is so talented, and inspiring. Keep doing great things, PLEASE!
Lindsey is a GODDESS!! I would kill her see live!!
The original version of this song is not in my top ten. However! Your version is just fantastic so so much better! Lovely rhythm and just generally nicer to listen to. Keep up the fantastic work :)

Hey, people! Lindsey doesn't owe you anything. She's allowed to evolve as an artist. If you don't like the newer way she makes music go kick rocks.
Brad King finally someone who is not so closed minded! Has no one learned a lesson from the message behind the arena smh
Well I’m off to the park to find some rocks....

music? there was music in this video? I only saw a lot of skin :D
@@nicobendig6597 You purity police can bug off too.
In this gorgeous video Lindsey is playing a character and having fun while doing it. Unrelated: I want pink hair.
I agree with this whole comment. Even the pink hair thing.
Your so called “fans” need to get over themselves. You did amazing. I love seeing how you expand your career! I love everything about this Christmas album so far. You are a star. Full of talent and endless creativity. Keep shining!
We can be fans of hers and not like every single thing she puts out. Sometimes artists have "misses". Judging by the comments, this seems to be one of those.
If you can't accept that someone you're a fan of isn't perfect 100% of the time, you're not a fan, you're a fangirl.
Sa m Sa m Artists have zero obligation to listen to their fans though. Like, essentially they should create whatever they want to create; either people like it or they don’t. She shouldn’t be constrained to the image of ‘different/unique violin dance/edm music just because that’s what her ‘fans’ want. Because that would be pandering.
It’s fine if you don’t personally like it, or it isn’t your thing. But Lindsey shouldn’t then have to change what she wants to do just to make music that you want.
You’re just being salty, at this point.
@@LilFrg Idk, from the comments it sounds more like people want her to regress, to go back to the old and keep doing that very same thing over and over again. I understand that her old vids may have had a certain uniqueness to them, but that doesn't mean she shouldn't experiment with other styles, even if those same styles may seem a bit more trendy than what she's previously done.
Yuki Usagi best comment in this comment section by far
You are ADORABLE and so is this song!!! I Love that you are singing....and ballet!!! Whoo Hoo!! Way to go LIndsey!!!!
For those that criticize her and are saying they want the old Lindsey back, you don't understand the work and effort put into pleasing you, these videos where she sings are actually amazing and show that she is just pure talent. She can sing and play and has the most incredible diversity in all of her songs. Personally for me, all of her songs are very pleasant to listen to and the videos are just as amazing as the songs. It's the fact that she has sung in her videos that makes her music incredible. She doesn't always have to be playing the violin, her voice is incredible and I personally, would like to hear more of it. Stop judging her for trying to create diversity and for trying to make something people will enjoy. If you don't like it, keep your opinions to yourself because other people do like it
Con traxia, “Pan-ic!”. I love that.
I love this version!
Did no one notice that Lindsay’s dancing “on pointe”!?!? (Except Lindsay herself.) I do think this video is flawless and amazing on every level. But just as Lindsay learned to perform aerially while suspended by her hair (and triumph over the pain), now she has learned to go up on toe. I read that that usually starts three years after ballet lessons have begun. It’s not “just another dance technique”. Respect, Lindsay!
Her name is Lindsey.
I have never liked this Christmas song, but even I must admit that your version is adorable and a delight to watch and listen to! (And that ballet dancing was such a fun surprise!) Don't mind me, I'll just add this to the list of your Christmas videos I'll be watching on repeat until the end of the year, haha
Same! I never liked this song I always thought it sounded super whiny but I like this version!

It irritates me that so many people don’t like this...sure the song has sexual meaning, and sure it’s not like Lindsey’s past stuff but come on guys! She’s just having fun in this video, and it’s Christmas!!! I’ve been with Lindsey since the beginning and I don’t see anywhere that she’s turning into the same other music styles and videos at all. Keep doing you Lindsey, we love you!
PS, she’s WAAAAAAYYY more talented musically than so many artists that are famous so here’s to true musicianship, which Lindsey is rocking!
Agreed. It's probably all the mormon fans that are upset. lol.
@@41clover The Mormon/Christian fans are her largest base, if she where to loose them her career is sunk and she will be a has been. Her last 3 videos have caused a great disturbance in her faithful following and her ticket sales, album sales and overall viewership is rapidly falling away...this new evolved Lindsey is not finding acceptance as easily by selling herself out for the attention of the mainstream masses, nor is she winning over any new fans with her ridiculous tweets poking fun at those who support pro choice and women's rights.
Her whole thing when she started was along the lines of “you can still have beliefs and values and become famous” but she appears to have pulled a 180 and is now hypocritical of her original beliefs.
I'm not particularly upset as a fan, personally, The only video of the last three that seemed to give off too much of a weird vibe was the Grinch cover (That was mainly because some weird cinematography) I just want to see some variety. All of her recent songs have been very much like this one and I would like to see one that is more melodious like White Christmas or Chestnuts Roasting on and Open Fire. I know she could pull it off and she doesn't even need a fancy backtrack of background dancers for it, all she would need hers her voice and her violin. And, on the subject of her enjoying this video, While she still seems to he having fun in this video, It doesn't seem like she's having as much fun as she was in previous videos. (I could be wrong and I have been wrong many times). To be honest, I don't care what she does as long as she's happy.
Anyways, Lindsey is still very talented and I'd prefer her of many artists.
@@nancykingcaid7334 Viewership seems fine... I'm not sure that's her largest base. She also did one of her few religious videos recently, so I don't feel that she's changed her way of doing that. About tweets, I follow her on Twitter and Instagram and haven't seen any of that? Perhaps you could link it?
I know she probably did ballet when she was younger, but goodness my ankles hurt watching her en pointe. Dangerous! No no no
I can't believe I had to scroll this far to find a comment about this. She should NOT be en pointe.
Loved the style of the video, but got a bit nervous for her as well. Especially her right foot!
tappyhoops I don’t know anything about that pose. Could you explain what she’s doing wrong?
Thank you so much it scared me so much when she's on pointe
Jon & Alycia she’s not completely over her box which means her foot is not fully en pointe, her foot is not strong enough to be en pointe, or her shoe is not good, so it is very dangerous
I just came from the show in Palm Springs (11/25/23) and this song sounded entirely different. It had an 80s vibe with a faster tempo, and a hard synth bass... Record *that* version please. That was my favorite song of the night. I didn't know who you were before this evening. I enjoyed your performance.... you were magic ;)
You have an amazing voice :D
What is Lindsey not good at??
Pointe 😕
@@AmbourMichelle She's learning! I guarantee, she's got most people fooled...she looks fantastic.
She's not good at being bad at things i guess :)
I would like to hear Lindsey's farts.
I haven’t gotten dis many likes in a long time XD
I didn’t expect this but I love the music video, it’s beautifully portrayed, the fact that you worked hard to learn ballet means that this piece meant a lot to you and I appreciate that, you should sing more often, your voice is beautiful 😊💕💕
Lindsey, please take no notice of people who say you've lost who you are That's total trash talk it's not that you've lost who you are, you are evolving as a person and as an artist, and you are pushing yourself and learning new skills, and trying new things it would be wonderful to hear you sing a bit more you have such a sweet voice that's a pleasure to hear.
Lindsey your singing throughout the hole vid first time wow
Lindsey is singing: My life is complete
I didn't know she sang!! Beautiful!!
The only thing sweeter than her voice is her infectious smile
i liked the part ''54 convertible too, light blue'' it was very on pointe (get it)
Does anyone remember Lindsey doing silent night? That was amazing.
I watched this right when it came out and I keep coming back to it, it keeps getting stuck in my head and I love Lindsey's voice!! This is a very interesting and unique twist on Santa Baby that I really enjoy. Don't really understand all of the negativity this is getting, as a christian myself I believe she can make her own decisions for herself and I love that she is way more modest than most other famous women in the music business. So, who cares if she shows a little more leg in this video, she got them to show off!! And Lindsey, you had me fooled. I thought your ballet skills were fantastic, you did a great job on this cover.
Levi Nutter, AMEN BROTHER!!! Please read my reply to the essay-comment about the history of Santa Baby, because I think you’ll like it! Have a fantastic day and eat dark chocolate!!!
I did read that, and I found it very interesting
This song is just soooo good...got it on replay on my Apple Music....and the choreography, the set itself, the wardrobe, makeup....just spectacularly done! MORE MORE MORE....we need more Lindsey!
Wow. You are an amazing singer I wish I was like you also I am learning to play violin love this
Im a fan but seeing her sing this live last week is way different than she sounds in this video.
@@handtohandcombat3535 Genuinely want to hear about this (dw I'm not a rabid fan -- I love her but not gonna attack you if you say she's less than perfect like some people), does she sound better in live or worse?
@@blankness8 Shes amazing at her craft and we loved the show. It was all on point but yeah the signing wasnt great. We were there for what shes known for and she nailed it. The signing was extra but yeah we didnt care for it.
@@handtohandcombat3535 Thanks for your candid reply!! Awesome that you got to see her live, though :)
@@blankness8 No problem! If you get a chance to see her I'd suggest it. I posted one song on my channel from the show.
I usually shut the radio/Spotify off when this song comes on, but Lindsey takes this to a whole mother level!! Loved it 🥰
Nother not mother
Aw! Love it and you so much! ❤️🎻
Oh man, I can't believe people are saying anything negative about this video. Lindsey is showing her evolution as an artist. It is impossible to please everybody, and all she can do is to continue growing on all aspect of art that she feels she wants to try, and let the negativity just slide off of her. I prefer a million time to see her trying something new, than just being stuck on the old because of fear of what a few bitter souls may say, when I am sure that most of her fans, we want to see her play the violin, but also see her dance and hear her sing and admire her beauty. She is a beautiful woman, and deserves to feel that way, and any other way she chooses to. She is a well rounded artist, and I want to see everything she has to offer. I send lots of love kisses hugs and admiration to Lindsey, such a wonderful human being.
