Celtic Women Rock
PBS is at it again, dear friends; they’re playing one of the I am Celtic Woman specials. They usually broadcast these specials during a pledge drive. You should consider making a donation to your local PBS station, if at all possible. Anyway, this ensemble of talented Irish women is amazing.

First off, they are lovely. Don’t you think? They’re lovely in a healthy and natural kind of way. Don’t get me started about Hollywood’s obsession with superficial beauty. Anyway, these gals are a breath of fresh air.
I enjoy watching them play the hell out of their instruments, dance around on stage, flirt with the male dancers (young Irish men, I presume), and sing like angels. These women have achieved a level of success that’s quite impressive. But before these Irish ladies dazzled us here in the states, we were captivated by the one and only Enya!
Ah, who doesn’t love Enya? She has a great voice, and she’s also very lovely. Seriously, where do they find these amazing Irish women? Ok, I have nothing against U2. I enjoy some of their songs, but this post is about female musicians. I’m sure Bono will understand. Moving on; one of my favorite Irish bands is The Corrs. Amazingly, this group is made of up 4 siblings—three sisters and a brother.

These women are beautiful. Andrea, the lead singer, is my favorite of the bunch. I actually went through a brief Corrs phase a few years ago. I enjoyed their music and even liked the stuff they did with Mutt Lange, although the song breathless sounded a bit Shania-ish to me.
I hope you enjoy these wonderful music videos. Celtic women rock!

Hayley Westenra is the best singer in the world, if you ask me. *sigh*
I own several Corrs CDs. The ex took all the Enya. I learned to love Celtic music in my 6 week visit ten years ago to New Zealand, and haven't looked back since. Wonderful post as usual, Marius.
Who was that horrific banshee who howled for "The Cranberries"?
LOL. Dolores O'Riordan wasn't so bad. I actually forgot about her. I remember when The Cranberries were very popular.
I have actually avoided watching them because they make me a blubbering idiot, sniff. I am trying to keep a cool attitude for the holidays . heh They will melt my resolve with one tune. I just love buying presents for people and am trying to reign in the urge. I might have bring out my "Godfather" dvd's to shore up my resolve.
