A little over a week ago, I was on Facebook, when I ran across a fascinating post by Lindsey Stirling.

(If you don’t know who Lindsey is, go check out her YouTube channel. She is an extremely talented violinist.)

She posted this picture:

This is an email she received from America’s Got Talent this month.

And, here’s the reason why it’s hilarious:

Lindsey’s caption on the picture said,

“Hahaha. I’m dying laughing right now. Just found this in my email.
For those who don’t know, I was on Americas got talent in 2010 and
I got torn apart by the judges. @PiersMorgan told me on live tv that
I sounded like “drowned rats being strangled.”
Haha, now that I have a following, I guess they changed their mind;P
You guys did more for me than Americas got talent ever could have. #ironic

This is such an amazing story, because instead of letting this feedback keep her from doing what she wanted to do, she went ahead and followed her dreams anyway. She’s now been on her own headlining international tour of sold out shows.

This gives me hope for my dreams. If I can work hard and continue to make music, I can make music my career and be successful.
I want to say, THANK YOU for being here, for reading my blog, and for watching my videos and listening to my music. This wouldn’t be happening without you.
