  • These are all videos that I planned and edited when I was in high school.
    Thanks to my first band, Stomp on Melvin, for giving me my start in the music business and thanks to Avril Lavigne, Evanescence, DJ Sammy, Kelly Clarkson, and Shakira for inspiring me to make videos.

    Watching it again after almost half a year... you think it was a bad idea with the film? It was the coolest idea ever, also It was maybe where the inspiration of your song Elements came from. :)

    I always love "Behind the Music" features to see where my favorite artists came from, and this one's no different! It's nice to get a glimpse of another's past - and this is true for my own friends as well (whom I haven't known since we were kids). So, yeah, I love these kinds of videos, and also LindseyTime, when we just see the band hanging out, making each other Valentine's Day cards or buying ugly sweaters, lol! This is the good stuff!

    Watching your videos, Lindsey, has been such an inspiration and motivator to me and probably many others. I've always been the silly type but never really showed that side of me to others because I thought it wasn't "cool" but ever since I started watching your videos and listening to your music. I want to be myself more, I want to continue silly projects of mine because they're fun. Keep doing what you're doing Lindsey, you're such an amazing person! Hope to see you in the Midwest soon again!

It tells us part of your story which is very interesting.

    It takes real courage to do something like this, let alone put it up on youtube when you are clearly embarrassed about it.

Wherever you've come from, and wherever you go -- I'll always be your biggest fan.

    This was fun - It's good to see chicks nerding out and having a good time - I especially liked the ending for us 'loyal fans' :)

    How can Lindsey have 150 haters?! :-O
    She is hot, kind, talented, succesful and overall just FANTASTIC!
    I really enjoyed this compilation video...
    Anyone who knows if she have uploaded her old video's in full length that we just watched?
    I'd really like to see them in full length :-D
    Like if you agree so there's a bigger chance that Lindsey sees this, in case she hasn't uploaded them, and also so she can see how many actually want to see her beginner stuff :-D
