Ken Nielsen Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 I never go out of my way to watch 'Celtic Woman' but when I see it I am captivated and delighted at the 'heart' that is put into these performances. It's show business put on at its best with camera angles, preparation in place and a focus on natural beauty. The important thing is that they pull it off and all I can do is join in with the audience in applause. Lisa, show us how it's done... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=To822SCxolM...feature=related In conclusion, I hope we all can put more life into our playing for this holiday season.

Scott S Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 A beautiful tune and song, probably done the best that I've ever heard it done. Professionalism is all it's cracked up to be. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Fine Posted December 7, 2009 Report Share Posted December 7, 2009 I hate to criticize something like this, but honestly, I hope we aspire to greater heights than self-and-audience-indulging tripe like this. The string arrangement was boring. Her voice was pretty enough, but her delivery didn't seem to say anything interesting about the song. Then there's the whole spectacle of it... I know that there's a long and important history of spectacle + music, but once upon a time, the spectacle was equalled by the music. Simple songs like don't need or deserve so much. (Also, I realize that by modern pop standards this is hardly spectacle at all.) Let's look at this song properly delivered: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s_W7p35SzuI Delightful. Sorry about the negativity. I can come down hard on female vocalists sometimes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ken Nielsen Posted December 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2009 Color me confused. Dog grooming? Try it again, I'm bouncing between forums today and have two English Springer Spaniels so I keep tabs on a dog forums that is loaded with people knowledge about all aspects of that.
