Agreed. John McDermott is just about my favorite singer of all time, and he doesn't fake his accent. Besides, the accent is part of why I like his singing so much :P

You won't find many bigger John McDermott fans than me, but I must say that he sticks out like a sore thumb singing with these two. His group members here clearly are classically trained, singing with powerful voices in an operatic style. He is a pigmy here.
What makes John such a great singer of the old irish and sottish ballad is that he doen't sing them in an operatic style. He sings them the way in which they should be sung: like how an irishman or scotsman from the bog would sing them.

It's funny to watch an operatic performance where the performers are having the craic onstage. Go on the tenors!! Also I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG!!!

@machree01 Yes, and Anthony will be 40 tomorrow, Auyg 17th 2011. HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANTHONY. I will love you til the day I die. Thank you Machree01 for all your devotions to the Irish Tenors. I've appreciated them through the years.

I agree with the comment above that John is a bit out-classed in style by Anthony and Ronan though I have always been a fan of his. In most of John's albums, not only does he provide great vocal interpretations but the selelction of music and the arrangements are way above average for the genre.
The other member that impresses me is Ronan. Besides his outstanding voice and interpretive skills he is also a double amputee and an MD specializing in Orthopedic Sports Injuries.

-

0:00 replay button you now have permission to abuse it
-
the reason why they sound irish and have thicker accents is because the other two are actually from Ireland and still reside there whereas John McDermott hasnt
-

@glasgowtalisman I listened to the Dubliners version and didn't like it as much. The song sounds better with an orchestra, for some reason. The version with Finbar Wright was better than this, but, no, never the Dubliners version.
