  • the 1995 original version from the point in dublin is the best! i feel some of the magic has been lost!

  • I agree. I think the magic was still about when this was filmed, but i saw the show in March and its lost some of its magic. Its too commercialised, there are too many leads so there isn't the same sense of wow as when there was a star couple like joanne and breandan or jean and colin that was the show. The actual dancing has gone down in quality (my opinion) and been overtaken with making a glitzy show. This is just my opinion.

  • I can't criticize because I can't do that at all, but in all honesty, it just doesn't get better than Jean Butler. She just can't be replaced.

  • I think that this is the sweetest piece of music, and has always reminded me of my own beautiful Margaret Lawreen! Every time i hear this particular piece of music, it brings tears to my eyes...even now...

  • You know, I was completely enthralled with the dance.

    Then I read the description. Christ almighty, does everything have to be about some #@$damn political BS?

    It must be a pitiful sad existence to not even be able to enjoy Riverdance without bringing politics to it.

  • I've done stuff like this and it is extremely hard to stay sooo coordinated.

  • When I saw this show for the first time at age five, I wanted to be the Countess Cathleen when I grew up.

  • I think that men who can dance are sexy...

  • @buddygirl06 the first song is women of the sidhe, pronounced, I think, "shee". The second one is the countess cathleen.

  • You just have GOT to love the Irish ! Breathtakingly excellent Music and dance!

  • @laddibugg88

    I agree, Jean cant be replaced but for this song I prefer Joanne's performance: she did capture that challenging, fierce and independant escence which I think Jean couldnt achieve by dancing to this song. Sorry for my bad english by the way.

  • what is the song called in the beginning??? countless cathleen?
