I cried about your ordeal when I saw the video but you went through and by seeing that lovely piece of music that you just played I smiled with tears and happiness thank you Elizabeth what a lovely work what a lovely music I can't wait to hear more it's just what I love your music and you for the lovely beautiful human being that you are my love goes to you and your beautiful family
You know..? Im just glad that she was found. And reunited to her family, thats really all that matters. It really isn't anyone's fault besides the sick people that did this to her.
I am not. I've never been prejudiced against anybody and I never will be. Race has nothing to do with anything. We all are born, we all live, we all feel pain, sorrow, happiness, etc., we all suffer, and we all die. I don't care what color, religion, or gender a person is. I'm trying to have an intelligent discourse here. You on the other hand are a troll.
Only for 4 months. And she was still tied to a tree with a wire cable and there's still the Stockholm Syndrome. And 10 minutes? Is that how long it takes YOU to walk 4 miles? Can you do it while tied to a tree?
He was born into the Unitarian Church. He committed his first sex offense when he was 15-he exposed himself to a four year old girl. As an adult he raped & beat his 1st wife, beat his 2nd wife & sexually assaulted her kids, made sexual advances toward his 3rd wife's daughter & killed Barzee's kids' pets. & guess what, he NEVER used God as an excuse for committing THOSE assaults. He only used God as an excuse for what he did to Elizabeth Smart. He's not trapped, he knows exactly what he's doing.
The only feeling she has ever had for him is hate. She was scared. Have you heard of Stockholm Syndrome? A psychological leash? Walk a mile in her shoes & then judge.
Elizabeth's not cocky. Nancy Grace went for a ratings moment on her show instead of focusing on the sex offender registry bill that Elizabeth had been there to endorse. Since her kidnapper is not a registered sex offender yet her kidnapping was irrelevant to the bill & should not have been brought up. Grace's questions were stupid & irrelevant.
she was just trying to stay alive, you keep saying that she was trying to "protect her family" who would have been under police protection until the abductors were put under arrest. If she had escaped she could have given an accurate description and saw the case thru. Instead of taking rape and abuse on a daily basis and wearing disguises in public.
And it's not Elizabeth's fault that she got so much media attention. Blame the media. They're the ones who are biased and they're the ones who focused on this story for weeks on end. Elizabeth had nothing to do with it.
No one should ever make fun of crime victims it's never funny.I hate when people say evil things about Elizabeth Smart & other crime victims they did not ask to be victims.Why don't people make fun of the criminals they're the ones who deserve it.
Yes Eagles0515 I am PROUD to be a sci-fi nerdster! I love Stargate Atlantis, Star Trek:The Next Generation, Star Trek:DS9, & Star Trek:Voyager. Maybe you should watch those shows & broaden your horizons.
& just out of curiosity why do you think God's ways of viewing things are one-sided? God is not imaginary. He created us all & can see into all of our hearts & souls & minds. Do you think the Ten Commandments are irrelevant today? God gave us brains & the ability to be creative so we can make this world a better place. It's not his fault if we choose not to. If you won't believe in God that's fine. That's your choice. Has nothing to do with me. But how about you respect the beliefs of others.
Right on, Lizfan2! Stay strong to your morality and convictions especially ones that main stream culture so ardently attack and persecute you against! I'll proudly proclaim that I remained a virgin until I got married to my husband and encourage others to do the same! I don't hate on "non-virgins" but know that all of humanity are called to love fully, freely, fruitfully, and faithfully, and this is accomplished through marital love.
& lastly, I never said nor implied that nonvirgins can't abstain from sex. I wasn't bashing. I just said that people who are not married should not have sex. I realize that most people don't share that belief. That's fine.
Third, believing that unmarried people should not have sex until after they marry is not "single-minded & extremist". & fourth I'm not making anyone think Mormons are single-minded or extremist. I was talking about Catholic views, not Mormon ones.
Your music is beautiful I wish I could hear more for hours I hope one day I will find music of you on this TH-cam channels I would never stop listening to your music
That he doesn't think he did something wrong & claims God inspired him is irrelevant. Some people say the devil makes them do stuff. No one believes that excuse, why should anyone believe Mitchell's? Most people think he's faking his "incompetency" anyway. God was not the reason Mitchell kidnapped Elizabeth. Mitchell kidnapped her because he's a sex offender who was looking for victims. He could have been an atheist & he still would have done this. He just would've used a different excuse.
Wow... Nice fucking harp palying... It's the sort of thing that makes you think of how lives can so easily be wasted or destroyed. I almost want to kidnap her, lol. Check out Tishchenko's harp concerto. it's an eye openner for Classical and harp music. You can probably google it; there's probably torrents around.
You should talk about passing judgement considering you keep criticizing a kidnap/rape victim who did what she felt she had to do to stay alive & keep her family safe. I do have a sense of logic & logic says that when you're in a hostage situation where your captor is psychotic & holds your life in his hands you do whatever you have to do to survive.
her harp playing is very beautiful.I'm wondering though if all this publicity she is getting is going to interfere with her life and music career.I hear she got a scholarship to a university ,possibly based on all this publicity she has been getting.
You act like her kidnappers gave her a choice! They were armed & dangerous & had abused kids in the past. When you're in a dangerous situation like that you're not going to do anything to set the crazies off. You can't expect children to think rationally in situations like that. They're not miniature adults. You need to understand the psychological effects of being held hostage.
She plays like a young girl who has taken lessons for a while and nothing more. She doesn't know much of technique, to close her fingers, not that she has to be anything special.
First of all, I'm not blindly led by religion, I don't think everyone else is wrong & I don't judge other religions. Second, just because YOU don't believe in God does NOT mean God does not exist & it does NOT mean that everyone who believes in God is retarded. YOU brought up the subject of God, not me. God DID give us everything we have in order to do good in this world. His ways aren't one-sided. We who believe in God are not uneducated. We simply have faith.
Too bad that she is more looked as the victim of crime rather than her musicianship/ she plays beautifully!!
wow, she's good! I admire her so much.
I cried about your ordeal when I saw the video but you went through and by seeing that lovely piece of music that you just played I smiled with tears and happiness thank you Elizabeth what a lovely work what a lovely music I can't wait to hear more it's just what I love your music and you for the lovely beautiful human being that you are my love goes to you and your beautiful family
in like April 2004. She played when she got a courage award
You know..?

lol i cant stop thinking of the family guy skit whenever i see this

Unless you've walked a mile in her shoes, don't judge.
If she got a scholarship it's due to her harp playing not her fame.
es igual a la chica de al lado..
q hermosa y encantadora niña!
That's Elizabeth playing the harp in this vid not Mary Katharine.
It would be fascinating to hear this talented harpist accompany teenage contralto Anastasia Lee Johnson who sings Amazing Grace.
she was just trying to stay alive, you keep saying that she was trying to "protect her family" who would have been under police protection until the abductors were put under arrest.

Well said.
And it's not Elizabeth's fault that she got so much media attention. Blame the media. They're the ones who are biased and they're the ones who focused on this story for weeks on end. Elizabeth had nothing to do with it.
No she's still playing the harp.She likes playing the harp.
Amazing person!
No one should ever make fun of crime victims it's never funny.I hate when people say evil things about Elizabeth Smart & other crime victims they did not ask to be victims.Why don't people make fun of the criminals they're the ones who deserve it.
She's not a bitch & she was never pregnant. She was examined by doctors the day of her rescue & the doctors said she'd never been pregnant.

Elizabeth, we want to hear more of your gift with the harp. I hope you haven't given up the instrument. That would be a great loss to all.
She has a music degree where her Major was harp and she’s been posting videos of her playing her harp on Instagram during Covid-19 quarantine! ☺️
She played her harp outside the nursing home during covid her grandmother who was a resident there.

yeah same. i thought it was kind of sick how they made fun of her though in family guy, but i guess thats the comedy of family guy hahaa
It's called "a girl playing a harp".
Right on, Lizfan2! Stay strong to your morality and convictions especially ones that main stream culture so ardently attack and persecute you against!

She's not a pro yet she's still taking harp classes in college.Give her a break.
Yeah Linka87 the random post thing's happened to me too.You gotta name the people you're talking to in your posts so that it doesn't get confusing.
I named my account "Lizfan" after Elizabeth Weir, my favorite character on the tv show Stargate Atlantis.
That he doesn't think he did something wrong & claims God inspired him is irrelevant. Some people say the devil makes them do stuff. No one believes that excuse, why should anyone believe Mitchell's?

Brakathor I hope you know you can go to jail for saying you want to kidnap her. I reported you to the authorities and reported your comment.

What is this song anyway? Do you know? It doesn't soud terrible but it sounds incomplete.
She is not.
Do you know what this song is?It doesn't sound spooky to me.
lol.... no actually i liked it..... i wasn't being sarcastic..... i thougt it was goooood.... it's like people WANT to hate me...
What's the name of the piece she's playing on her harp anyway? Btw she started playing the harp at age 6.
which shot?
It would be nice if she gave harp lessons!
its kinda creepy. it kinda reminds me of her kidnapping
You act like her kidnappers gave her a choice! They were armed & dangerous & had abused kids in the past.

lol... yeah... people SO took ym comment the wrong way....
She plays like a young girl who has taken lessons for a while and nothing more. She doesn't know much of technique, to close her fingers, not that she has to be anything special.
yeah you are eagles0515.
That is such a haunting instrument. I hope she's learning to play something different at Juilliard.
what is lds? and she's a mormon?
