Some wonderful comments from Chloe in this new article:

A few excerpts:

Quote:

"We filmed the first special and made the first album when I was 15, and I just turned 20 a couple of weeks ago. So I suppose I have sort of grown up with the show."

[on "O, America"]: "It's our way of thanking America for being the first country to really accept us," Agnew said. "America has really become our second home — we spend more time here than we do in Ireland."

[...]

"And that's the whole point of this show -- the beauty of the music," Agnew said. "Yes, there are a lot of lights and pretty dresses and all that. But the thing that people respond to is the music, and how it affects them.

"I doubt people really remember the look of the show, but they always remember a certain song."

Interesting to hear her note that she spends more time in America than in Ireland. Wow. Also interesting to read that she was the one who asked for "When You Believe" to be included in the show. I wish she'd also asked for "Panis Angelicus."

As for the look of the show, I definitely DO remember it -- and those "pretty dresses" too. Those are essential to the magic of "Celtic Woman," maybe more so than the performs themselves realize.

Thanks for posting it, Celeste. But I think she meant that the casual fan will not remember the look of the show as much as the songs that are performed.

Yes, I realize that that's what she meant. But I still think that they will remember the look of the show. It's so very different from the usual concert experience, and the wardrobe is one of the things that makes it most distinctive. No other touring group looks anything like them.

In fact, I'd even go a step further. I suspect that many one-time-only attendees of a Celtic Woman show might only have a vague memory of the songs afterwards, apart from a general feeling of melodiousness, unless they knew the songs in advance. But the visual of a quintent of women in elegant dresses -- that, I think, will impress itself on their minds. I suspect that they would "see" Celtic Woman in the memory even sooner than they would "hear" them (apart, as I said, from the songs that they would already know before the show).

Oh, really? Did you try the link in the first post, or the link as quoted in Scott's message? When a longer link gets quoted, it gets broken.

Try this. It's a shortened link pointing to the article, so it should work:

Hopefully this is not your computer being difficult again.

Celeste, I just checked your link myself, and it's fine.
