Rock star cellists. Gotta love it.

Dangerous weapon. Former ELO cellist Mike Edwards was killed by one of these round bales.

Nice song.
Clear and beautiful tenor voice.
Clean guitar work.
Minimalist arrangement.
Great busking feel to the entire clip.
Sweet cello/cellist.
Paris.
Sacré-Coeur.
The accent et gu over the 'e' in 'Sacré.' That was a nice touch.
No Auto-Tune.

Often, the most inspiring and beautiful creations come about as the result of a juxtaposition between the classical and the modern, the old and the new. Such is the case in this video, which was filmed by director Spike Jonze, that captures Los Angeles street dancer Lil’ Buck as he performs an amazing interpretation of “The Swan” from Camille Saint-Saëns’ Carnival of the Animals with a live musical accompaniment by the award-winning cellist Yo-Yo Ma.

10 seconds in- this dumb reporter doesn't even know the difference between a violist and a cellist. NOOOOOB

You might be on to something.

Somehow, without even looking, I knew you submitted this Yehudi Menuhin video. You seem to have a fondness for stringed instruments. Are you a violinist? Cellist?

Awesome. I just joined a folk-punk band as their cellist. F'real.

^I think it's because he's a cellist, so he's more used to orient himself with the instrument that way.

Needs more pan flute and cellists.

Metal Mayhem Motherfuckers!

*rocknroll!

I don't think they look that awkward. They're *artists!

Plus I've only been a cellist and not a violinist, but doesn't look like there's anything wrong with their technique.

I never really cared for the original, but VideoSift is sorely in need of headbanging cellists.

Y'all are just too sweet. Thanks. It is a great vid. For non-cellists out there, he does this little up bow skip thing near the end(as he's coming down a scale)that's jaw dropping.
