[ladyearin]

amazing lynn!!miss u!!!

[mythicaljuls]

where can i see the original line up/menbers singing this?

[Lizfan2]

@mythicaljuls The original members did a Christmas special a few years ago. This song was the first song they sang on their special. You can find the video here on Youtube.

[chloeagnewfan4ever]

follow chloe on twitter @ChloeAgnew :-)

[dublinireland100]

do they sing the whole song together?? I think it is really cool to preform at the national tree lighting I'd give andthing to sing with celtic woman or be there for the special night

[dublinireland100]

do they sing the whole song together??

[voyagerfanatic]

I really like the fact that they use the headset mics instead of the holding mics. It somehow makes it seem omre realistic...like they're really singing to the audiecne instead of just singing into their mics. you know what I mean?

[Lizfan2]

Too bad Lynn & Alex both quit the group.

[kilijin1233]

@Lizfan2 dars a new woman in the group name lisa some ting

[Lizfan2]

@kilijin1233 Lisa Lambe.

[kilijin1233]

[7trueamerican]

[Sallyally90]

the ending..OH MAN..THAT WAS SO AMAZING..

[JoJoItPo]

@Sallyally90 YES, it is amazing. I just love Lynn and all she contributed to the song. she is truley a celtic woman now

[peaslovecats]

Is Hayley still part of the Celtic Woman group? She has to be!

[JoJoItPo]

@peaslovecats no, Hayley Westenra hasn't been apart of Celtic Woman for quite a while now.

[voyagerfanatic]

@peaslovecats Nope, she was only there for the filming of one PBS special and one tour.

[lukyryder]

just epic.....

[JoJoItPo]

i think we can all say that this song is amazing but meav is the one who made it so spectacular. Lynn did amazing but this is meav's song all the way. i miss her and orla and hayley. but i love alex and lynn haha and chloe, lisa and mairead still do AMAZING. brovo celtic woman <3 <3 <3

[ChicKa0311]

love their voices! ^-^

[EnyaFan210]

I love the effect the wind gives! It makes them look even more beautiful! (If that's possible!)

[ImaginaryNightshade]

must've been freezing, though...

[freakinphil]

Why no tour dates in Toronto, Canada this year? We haven't seen Celtic Woman here since 2007.

[MellifluousMelodies]

Oh this was magnificent! Not anywhere near enough applause at the end of the performance!?!

[selfdual]

This is my first time seeing this current line-up of Celtic Woman. They are still my favorite singing group! ^_^

[kamaakestad]

yeah- it was freezing when they did this. maybe you should keep that in mind.

Lisa Kelly Rocks!

[Clarinetist0409]

This is AWESOME!!!!! Chloe is my favorite and she was amazing!!!!!

I do love all of them though...

[kidchaotic1322]

OMG! I didn't know this even happened!!!!!!

& did you know that the song they're singing is based off of an old Ukrainian chant? It's true!

[xintus1765]

AWESOME !!!

[xintus1765]

They're amazing !!!

[Theclowcard]

Lynn didn't sing "Ding Dong" as good as Meav in the middle of the song However, She was good at the end .

I still love her , after Lisa, Chloe and Mairead .^_^

My goodeness. I have so many favourites.

Merry Christmas from Chicago

[kareshikun]

This is the best version of this song... Just love Celtic Woman!!! \o/

[smartndumb101]

They're really, really good. But make sure you see the original lineup singing it. They're always be a bit of a sad moment when I don't hear Meav's voice trilling the high notes :) She really completed this song.

[eoarwyn]

Yes, Meav's high, smooth notes are the best. She's got more finesse. That being said, the present lineup did very well too.

[danyarger]

Celtic Woman is the best act out right now. Everybody in the 90+ performers is very talented but the main reason is the sound engineer is able to make a live performance better than recorded.

[mrbrew01]

Missing Meav and Orla too! The Christmas DVD was great last year. Kudos to these ladies though. They still sound great in a unique Irish flavoured carol.

[dredogg007]

I know the guy at 1:12, he is my best friends brother!

[LadyArmand2]

They had to be cold.

[bornirish1012]

This makes me miss Meav so much more.......I will admit that Lynn did a decent job of it....but the part where Meav cresendo's and gets higher in pitch is the best part of the song. I miss Meav AND Orla so much......

[smartndumb101]

ME TOO!! The new girls voices are so much the same! I liked itwhen you could hear the difference perfectly...

[NOHeHasNot]

@bornirish1012 Well, I just have to say that Lynn did a FANTASTIC job witht the end of this song. Like..WOW!

[pxxkw]

@bornirish1012 Just be glad that the whole group has not disbanded.

[LittleRusalochka]

At 2:34 Lynn sounds so beautiful!

[TheGeantrai]

100 % agreed. I think Lynn's voice sounded in this song the best.

You should her singing My Lagan Love.. she has such a stunning voice =)

[LittleRusalochka]

She almost stole the show with My Lagan Love.

Lynn's an angel.

[GhileMear250]

Another lovely performance, ladies! Thank you for helping America light up the Christmas season.

[AceScotters]

They look beautiful and sound amazing!! I feel sorry for them though..from the looks of the audience, its frigid and all they wear are those sleeveless dresses. They must be cold!!

[alaynawinchester]

Yeah, but those lights are dang hot, let me tell you.

[MrCBenji]

Celtic Women are Beautiful!  I think so because our ancestry is Welsh.

Luv U Celtic Ladies,.

[MrCBenji]

I am from the Welsh birthright and LOVE celtic music. It is heartful, heartfelt, and just prestige in every way.

Luv It! Luv It! Nothing Better.

[MrCBenji]

Celtic Women are beautiful and their sound is extraordinaire.

I love you all very much!

Carl

[minneola24]

they must have been sooo cold!!

[CWCTLoVeR86]

They did great. :) If only they sang a different song though. One where they had solos for EACH individual member. That way people would be EVEN MORE amazed!! Lynn sang the high notes pretty well I have to agree with everyone but Meav did better, I'm never going to forget her. :( They are outstanding, and did a fantabulous job!! :) Merry Christmas everyone. Obama had the pleasure of meeting Celtic Woman... lucky... :)

[Lizfan2]

My favorite Xmas song from them is "Christmas Pipes". I wish they'd sung that one.

[kjordon1]

YES! Meav was undoubtably better than Lynn in the high notes. I don't know if any one else will be able to do it as good as her. I didn't miss Meav much but now I really miss her : (

[nimrod609]

@kjordon1 I agree! She was never my favorite member but I definitely fell her absence now!

[moscapoet]

What a marvelous stage for these amazing artists. I'm so happy they received this honor. Finally to Mairead gets to fly around on a truly national stage while playing flawlessly! Congratulations!

[sparksbb23]

Amazing performance!

I was only hoping that they would wear something more suitable...oh well. Still love them! Nice job to Lynn for hitting those high notes!! Danggg it was good!

[LisaKellyfanatic]

It's nice to know the girls are/were in the US again. LOVE THEM!!!

Okay..gotta say it...WOA!!! Lynn BELTS those notes! :o It was a great performance. Bet they never expected (until they knew they were doing this performance) that they would be singing this song again. lol

Btw, that's not CW's choir is it?  I dont recognize a single face in the choir.

[Iluvcelticwoman12]

nope it wasn't their choir

[kjordon1]

Lynn didn't sound as great as Meav did on the high notes. I think Lynn even sang the note a little too flat at 2:36. There's no comparison to me. Listening to this song makes me feel sad now because now I really miss Meav. I wish Meav was there with them just for this night to do this song. That would be so amazing.

[TheGeantrai]

It's definately no comparison with Méav, since she was my favorite member of the original line. But still Lynn is very, very good. The only problem she has that she is shy.. Have you heard her singing My Lagan Love or Non C'é Piu? No way Méav would do that better =)

[smartndumb101]

Yeah, when she started off that last note it sounded off. I get the same sad moment whenever I hear this song... Lynn's definitely an awesome singer on her own, but if I had to choose? I'd pick Meav to come back...

[ifyoucanbenice]

I saw them in concert, they are magnificent. If you get a chance to see them in concert I urge you to make an effort and see them, they are awesome.

Looks like the people in the audience were baffled I didn't hear much of an applause.

[GhileMear250]

I really Love Celtic Woman and there version of this song. Nice job ladies (and gentleman).

[arielparker]

they have such beautiful voices I hope to one day be able to actually hear them sing in person. Brava!!

[letsblessHim]

I wholeheartedly agree!
