WOW, I don't even know where to begin. The songs she sang in the videos on You Tube were all really good.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Dan on August 23, 2013, 02:57PM Since she seems to be more traditional (in my opinion a lot like Lynn), something like "The Fields of Athenry" would be grand.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: IloveyouSarahBurke!! <3 on August 23, 2013, 03:15PM I can almost hear her singing Fields Of Gold...
Or On My Own, from Les Miserables She seems to kinda have a "Broadway" voice Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: TheWhite~Rose on August 23, 2013, 05:27PM I really can't think of anything! :D But I would love to hear a duet between her and Lisa Lambe. :o
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: The Impatient New Yorker on August 23, 2013, 06:50PM she already dd a cover of one of my favorites, let the river the run. so i can hope it's going to be on the tour
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Emer Dreamer on August 23, 2013, 07:21PM How about....... You Light Up My Life....? :)
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Tiffany Gray on August 23, 2013, 09:14PM I'd like to hear Black Is the Color or Come By the Hills.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: littlecubspirit on August 23, 2013, 09:21PM "Part of Your World"- Little Mermaid
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Excalibur on August 24, 2013, 05:46AM she already dd a cover of one of my favorites, let the river the run. so i can hope it's going to be on the tour I totally agree on this ;D Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ina on August 24, 2013, 05:55AM Since she seems to be more traditional (in my opinion a lot like Lynn), something like "The Fields of Athenry" would be grand. She has recorded " The Fields of Athenry". It it on the same Album as Hayley´s "World on Union" http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005I8R0WU/ref=dm_mu_dp_trk17 A nice recording. Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Kevin R.I. on August 24, 2013, 06:02AM Since she sounds a bit like Alex, how about " You`ll Be In My Heart"?
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Hubert on August 24, 2013, 08:16AM She sounds a little like Alex and a little like Lynn so any song David gives her will be performed quite well.

Crucan na pBaiste My Lagan Love Carolina Rua True Colors When I Was In My Prime Newry Boat Song I Dreamt I Dwellt In Marble Halls Dante's Prayer The Highwayman (Deirdre's song with Celtic Thunder) Harry's Game Skyline Pigeon (though I actually want Lil' Lambe to sing that!) The Wexford Carol Siulil a Ruin Danny Boy Shining Water Summer Song Lift The Wings Home And The Heartland An Maighden Mara Let us Love In Peace Our Kind Of Love God's Own Country (without the catholic/protestant thingie) would be great, and a great statement from CW! Especially if they're sung by Mairéad!!! Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Louis97 on August 24, 2013, 11:22AM Her voice similar to Alex's and I even hear a similarity to Hayley's. She's not so much a Chloe replacement as she is a unique and totally new vocal sound.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on August 25, 2013, 04:14AM There is no such thing like replacement for any of the CWuties. One Celtic Woman "leaves", another one comes.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Louis97 on August 25, 2013, 08:20AM There is no such thing like replacement for any of the CWuties. One Celtic Woman "leaves", another one comes. 100% Totally Agreed! Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on August 25, 2013, 08:44AM She'll gonna be great. And I think Chloe's later solos are not right for her :/ Rather her older ones, like those from the Original Helix shows!
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Cherany on August 25, 2013, 10:04AM I would love to hear a duet between her and Lisa Lambe. :o Ditto! Their voices would harmonize really well, but more than that, they each have a voice that made me stop everything I was doing the first time I heard them sing, so I wouldn't miss a note. CW has never had a bad singer in their line-up, but I think Lisa L and Mairead C are two of the best they've had. Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Tiffany Gray on August 25, 2013, 10:54AM Some pf the posts are off-topic. I was asking what songs you think Mairead should cover (not just CW songs, but any song). It's just for fun...

I was asking what songs you think Mairead should cover (not just CW songs, but any song). It's just for fun... The song cover topic easily lends itself to related topics, such as duet partners and old versus new songs from the CW show, any of which she could potentially cover on tour. I don't think that is anyone straying too far. :) I think she'd do a great job with The Snows They Melt the Soonest (one of my favorites from Cara Dillon), but honestly, I'd most like to hear her sing things I haven't heard before. Nothing beats discovering a talented new artist, but second to that is discovering a new song. This includes songs old in age, but new to most of us.

I don't think that is anyone straying too far. :) I wasn't talking about that. Some people were talking about Mairead can't reallly "replace" Chloe. Anyway... I think she should sing Isle of Innisfree. Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Louis97 on August 25, 2013, 09:03PM Some pf the posts are off-topic.

I think she should sing Isle of Innisfree. Oh I'm sorry! In my thought of trying to pick songs for her, I began thinking of which CW songs she should adopt and then that led to who she sounded most similar to. The Chloe thing was just a side comment on my part. Many apologies! On your original topic: I would love to see the girls (especially now with Mairead) sing The Raggle Taggly Gypsy! Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on August 26, 2013, 06:31AM Isle of Innisfree is a great idea, Tiffany!
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: The Leprechaun on August 28, 2013, 07:52PM Am I allowed to do other Celtic Woman songs or do I need a separate thread for that?
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on August 31, 2013, 07:27AM I think, you can post everything here.
How about "Who'll Come With Me" I would love to hear her sing that... Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Believe on August 31, 2013, 10:36AM I Dreamed A Dream.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Wyle_E on August 31, 2013, 12:32PM I Dreamed A Dream. I hope not. Sorry, but that song just bums me out. Odd, because I can listen to "The Last Rose of Summer" without feeling suicidal.Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Louis97 on August 31, 2013, 02:13PM I would love for her to sing Scarborough Fair.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: TheWhite~Rose on August 31, 2013, 03:52PM I would love for her to sing Scarborough Fair.

Here's Judith Durham's version :
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N995tLcb2t4 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N995tLcb2t4) Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: mattycakes on September 02, 2013, 08:36AM I think one thing that would be really cool would be if Mairead C busted out her acordian, Mairead Nesbitt on fiddle, Lil Lambe breaking out the spoons, and Susan perhaps on bodhran or something (I don't even know if Suze plays an instrument) were all to come out on stage and do a performance of Whiskey in the Jar similar to The High Kings version.

That would be COOL!!! Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on September 02, 2013, 08:55AM I so want her to play the accordeon.
And that was a cool idea, btw.! Hmh... most singers play an instrument... The piano maybe? Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: mattycakes on September 03, 2013, 10:35AM I so want her to play the accordeon. True, but Susan was more of a theatre performer before Celtic Woman. So she may never have bothered to learn an instrument.And that was a cool idea, btw.! Hmh... most singers play an instrument... The piano maybe? Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on September 03, 2013, 01:04PM I wouldn't be supriced if Susan played the piano.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Emer Dreamer on September 04, 2013, 09:31PM I wouldn't be supriced if Susan played the piano. Good point...Lisa K. was heavy on theatre but plays piano also. :) Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on September 05, 2013, 05:48AM Most singers learn an instrument whilethey get their musical education. Plus, Susan is from a musical family.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: mattycakes on September 05, 2013, 10:18AM I can't wait to hear Mairead sing songs with the group like The Parting Glass! Her accent seems to be a bit thicker than Chloe's. Like Lisa Lambe's is!
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Believe on September 06, 2013, 01:13PM I can't wait for her to sing with the group! She has a lovely voice, it reminds me of Meav's.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Maighread Loves Mairead on September 11, 2013, 01:41PM Since she seems to be more traditional (in my opinion a lot like Lynn), something like "The Fields of Athenry" would be grand. That's what I thought when I first heard her! I think it would be wonderful if she would cover "Carolina Rua" - and perhaps she could play some accordion in it... :)Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Louis97 on January 06, 2014, 06:16PM I think she should sing "The Star of the County Down" and she would OWN that song. It mentions Derry and she would just be lovely at singing it!
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Traveling Spaceman on January 06, 2014, 07:16PM I think she should sing "The Star of the County Down" and she would OWN that song.

Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Celtic Chan on May 17, 2014, 12:50AM I really want her to sing "Swing Low, Sweet Chariot".
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on July 22, 2014, 06:57AM I'd so love her to sing "Lavender's Blue"
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: C.V.2015 on September 28, 2015, 02:55PM Would like to hear her sing Scarborough Fair.
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Emer Dreamer on September 28, 2015, 03:55PM Would like to hear her sing Scarborough Fair. I bet she would be wonderful ! 8)Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: Tiffany Gray on September 28, 2015, 04:10PM She can sing the phone book!
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on September 29, 2015, 04:31AM Hahaha, yes ;D

It sounds beautiful!

Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: C.V.2015 on October 02, 2015, 02:57PM Trying to imagine Mairead singing Walking in the Air. I'msure it would be lovely...
Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: ShiningBright on October 02, 2015, 03:02PM Same here!
Snow on the Roses! Please, please! Please sing Snow on the Roses! Title: Re: Songs for Mairead to Cover Post by: CWazyTom on June 06, 2018, 10:31PM Yanni's "Nightingale"
https://youtu.be/hoZij8hupaU I don't think this would be safe to perform on a tour night after night, but perhaps on an album. This would be great for Meav too. |
