  • dinliyemiyorum neden acep

  • Dude, that was, holy cow man, that was sick (as in SO GOOD) She is the best out of the others I've heard!

  • Holy hell, best out of the group I've seen

  • this is better than the one featured

  • good!

  • Wow!

  • Best i've seen. <----

  • I love you

  • Cool... Gotta love violin rock...

  • Oh My bloody fucking god! that was crazy amazing! that's the most original verison I've heard so far! great! keep up the good work!

  • hi grup etken listen please thanks

  • ıyı de pantolonu nıye asagı cekmıssın dusuk bel de bı yere kadar bacım :D:D:D

  • wow, she's fast!! that was crazy!

  • very nice

    5/5

  • GREAT bow movements. a few intonation problems, but overall sounded pretty good

  • Uhhhh. This is AMAZING. Wow.

  • yehudi menuhin....this you should be listening to!!!

  • i lov it, you are amazing, so smart, you have talent, trust me NOT everone can do this !

    keep training you are great ! :P

  • amazing!

  • that was great

  • You should have won it.

  • I agree! The other girl (winner) didn't sound good at all, sounded way off from the song. It sounds like there are other insruments playing when it's just her.

  • You are not supposed to play the song. You are supposed to play something that "steps" on the song. And the other girl did it extremely well. You need some great guts to perform in such an extraordinary and "out-of-the-original-song" way and still be amazing!

  • you're GREAT,

    an excellent intepretation.

  • ive seen 29 videos and after intro they all get lost in their own space...but she acualy keeps song beet up AND U ARE THE BEST SO FAR!!!HAZA!!!

  • joor my favorite out of all the ones ive seen so far. :] and ive seen like...a lot now. xD

  • awesome

  • cool... and fast!

  • it was good.

    i think you tried to play too many parts at the same time, so it came out kind of busy and it took away from what the song really sounds like.

  • It almost looked like she was restraining herself not to just breakout head banging or jumping around. Or something along those terms.

  • damn that was kool, great job(=

  • That was a truly impressive video.

    Very nice.

  • i love you

  • perfect

  • DAMN that was crazy!

  • Oooh La La... That was soooo sweeeet! Absolutely beautiful.

  • fantastic

  • wow...

  • I 10 gol più belli degli ultimi anni

  • excellent...

  • lol by far the best violin i seen doin this song

  • This is simply wonderful. I can tell how it moves me when I look at the counter hoping and expecting it to last a lot longer, and its already at 58 seconds. Bravo.

  • this chick is badass.

  • did they paint a vagine on the wall behind her?

  • Yes, and it is beautiful...

  • I think thats an octopus...

  • dang man. she has some mad skillz. this is the best so far that ive seen. totally 5 stars. :]

  • the most original yet,,i like how she started off an octave up ,,then killed the end,,,definately a finalist if not winner

  • amazing

  • umm when you say these things then the electric violist is just the same thing as wat you were talkin about her..... the electric violist is just effects no difference lol

  • shut the fuck up

  • I noticed you scoring people as "Nothing Special" but I couldnt find the video that YOU did to show us how it SHOULD be done. Be supportive of your fellow artists, I am not saying to lie to them or shower them with false compliments, but all this hate will come back to haunt you, just like kharma.

  • the songs is good and fast, I never see anything that it.

  • Im sorry this is the best i just found out that its over so cant vote this is amazing the other ones are pale in comparison i have subscribed would like to see more songs

    Keep up the good work

  • You are the best one yet and the only one that actually sounds like the song

  • By far the best! Keep it up. got my vote.

  • Playing on Youtube is probably like an audition. But the more you do it the easier it will be. Love what you are playing and it will come out fine.  Let's hear more.

  • "Abigail, I'm sure can play the same song if given the sheet music."

    That's not the point, Spaniard 71. The key point is the musicality possessed by Nicola and compared to that of Abigail. So, yes of course, Abigail could play 'The Lark Ascending'. But it wouldn't move you emotionally the same way Nicola's version would. As regards the addition of rock edges by Abigail, this is nothing special. Nicola has performed several melodies with a rock edge and once appeared on stage with Deep Purple.

  • this one sounds actually like the song; the other ones do not

  • Sounds fuckin' good !!!

  • Type Nicola Benedetti into the search engine above. And listen to her playing "The Lark Ascending". Once you hear Nicola, you will realise that Abigail's performance is good, but not great.

  • Nicola is an entirely different musician. Abigail, I'm sure, can play the same song if given the sheet music. I still place Abigail at the top of the list. Especially for the the rock edge she add's. Keep up the great work Abigail!

  • totally different kind of music. You can compare these performances!

  • ugh.. ! still the best one.. i hope this wins.. on won.. stupid grammy's.. lol

    but yeha.. about the only one that actually even sounds like the song..

    thank you !

  • WOW!!!! That was SOOOO GOOD!!!!

    Kiss Kiss

  • OMG!!!!! Amazing!

  • wow omg u rock

  • so good

    still

  • Never stop splaying!! You are greate!!

    Amazing!!

  • Fuck nice bowing

  • cool!

  • hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

  • Well done!!!!

  • wow altaski, what a perv....any who, this was freakihn awesoe dude!!!!! =]

  • that was amazing!

  • crazy amazing

  • i like ur dreads

  • man that was awesome! it had potential :/

  • Good playing, bad mic or sumtin.

  • shes so amazing but the violins a bit srained sounding

  • i dont care what anyone says this chicks interpretation is the best ive seen on here and ive watched all of th top ones, shes the only person that makes it her own while keeping the actual melody in tact.

  • U R Awosome Girl

  • i think this is the best one

  • i play the violin but am not that good

  • Her Dynamics and tempo were right on, very impressive i really enjoyed the triplets going into 34 sec. keep it up :D........O AND CHECK OUT MY VIDS lmao jk

  • BLOODY AMAZING!!

  • Awesome job without all of the theatrical convulsions. I appreciate that

  • Don't you just love it when violinist do their homework...Yay.......oh vote conservative....

  • need a bit of practice but its awe 5/5

  • some intonation problems and needs to work on clarity.

  • WOOOOOAAAAAHHHH!

  • that was XTREME..hahaa..it was pretty-much the closest to the song rhytm

  • bad ass cutie

  • HELL YEAH! I LIKE IT.

  • that was a hardcore

  • Fantastic! This girl has the spirit!! Amazing... the best one yet overall that i've seen

  • do tha robot dance ! nah , was pretty cool :o) , Good job

  • Love the head movement

  • Sweet!!! Amazing just amazing.

  • deviant247 and kagrs should really have been abortions, i would like to see them do better i really would. Go on you get as good as this and show us then i will shut up. Until that day shut your fucking mouths you talentless shit heads. This is superb playing, well done love :)

  • This was really intricate yet crisp - this is my favorite so far

  • well good

  • that was fantastic near the end...but that thing to the right of you on the wall....kind looks like and o'keefe rendition of vagina.

    Just saying.

  • why dont they play a good song... or at least a tough song, man music sucks these days.

  • CRAP...(see other pretender vids for explaination)

  • very good! wonderful!

  • You need to practice more, this was good, but not good enough to be worth a Grammy moment. Yeah, harsh words. Sorry. But you have an amazing talent, and the way you vibrated the bow over the strings made an awesome effect that I have yet to see from others. Good luck, you.

  • insane harmonics!!!!!! i could never get them to sound like that

  • wow talented and SUPER CUTE

  • you are amazing I give you a 5/5 my brother even said he couldn't do as good as you on violin and he's been playin for 5 yrs

  • very nice, tied with Lisa Dondlinger ! my unofficial judgement

  • yuo

  • could the contest be done by a electric violin?

    i think that would sound bettter

  • one of the best imo

  • this is the best one by far, sounds most like the track :up:

  • I'd like to see you do any bit of what she just did. Think before you type dickwad.

  • I saw you... =)

    5/5

  • if you won by the song sounding most like the original, she'd win.

  • Tune that thing!!! INcredible job tho!!! Definitly #1!!!

  • will u cut it out lemendom?! WE GET IT! NOW PLZZZ STOP!

  • BEST BY FAR! <33

  • how can anyone move their hand that quickly... you're amazing!

  • She's not in the vote box! I can't vote!! :/

  • I think this is my current favorite

  • holy shit..

    you play REALLY fast..

    ahahah good job

  • wow!!! i play violin 2! how long have u bin playin?

  • sorry i like lisa dondlingers better but still you are better than all the others.

  • Great playing, but what was behind you?

  • best one so far, ur the only smart enough one to play a actual good part of the song

  • Agreed

  • Wow. O_O

  • nice, a little more refinement and it would be perfection. good job.

  • This one gets my vote for sure.

  • It's called bowing I believe

  • wow i can hear the song the other 1s i dont even hear the song

  • i think you mean you car hear the part that is sung by davey poo

  • I don't think she did, I think she's just really fast.

  • i can see where you think she did, but look at her fingers at the end of the violin, they're moving in real time. she just strums/moves the bow (i dunno what its called in violin terms) realllly fast

  • ur just mad cause u know that u cant play like that

  • no.

  • no.

  • that was amazing ;]

  • damnn straight thats good(:

  • o my fuck!1 very godd
