Celtic Woman is getting more and more popular and has currently a tour in the USA. Until they leave, they will be backround singers for Justin Bieber in his newest concert. JB will thank them with a quest apperance on CW's next DVD. This is a new way to get younger fans for Celtic Woman and also for Justin Bieber to get a better public image.

 :D

Ha, ha, ha, ha! I think it looks like WE'VE BEEN FOOLED! ;D

:D Nooooo, this is totally serious. Totally :P

I was wondering what the first April Fools Day joke would be.

I've got it! Hey, guys, look! The angels are coming!

Didn't believe it for a second lol!

I could have done it way better.

But I had a sudden lack of brain and English skills (after my English exam :P ), so I made a stupid one.

I didn't believe it as I don't think CW performs in jails. ;)

Even though I didn't believe it, I still laughed.  ;D  That's all that matters.

Me too Rob. I thought it was hilarious! Good work Chiara. ;D

It would be so crazy when they scream at him. ;D

Why shouldn't CW perform in jails? I would find that simply great!

Well, officially, to compare that, the 6 ladies from the Chicago musical show perform the Cell Block Tango in which one is sad and innocent.

Good one, esp. for gullible people like me. :)

Good one Chiara! Haha! :D

   At   least it  would  be  marginally  better  than  a collaboration  with  Eminem .......   :P      ::) 

Could be worse.

It could be Miley.

Actually, I'm not sure which one of them is worse.  Maybe the would will do us all a favor and swallow both of them.

This must be an April Fools Day joke. I've done a few of them myself today.

Dude. You have NO idea how hardcore of a troll that was! That honestly scared the living daylights outta me! Of course, I forgot it was April Fool's Day...

@Aggie: JB is worse! Honestly, Miley knows what she does, she wants to get attention and has the potential to become a serious musician, when she finally ends her "wild phase". She doesn't harm anybody and I think she isn't stupid. Justin Bieber is simly insane and he will NEVER become a serious artist or wathever .


@mattycakes: Oh, I am SORRY!

Once there was an April's fool joke on the forum that Lisa K. would leave CW because of she was pregnant of her 4th child, and look what happened. This isn't going to happen also, okay?   :D  :o

THAT IS EPIC!!!

What about teaming up with Lady Gaga or Madonna?

 :o  Well, Biebs is supposedly moving to ATL :o -- maybe he'll be one of LisaK's 'other surprises' :o

   ....on  the   other  hand, I  don't  really  think  our  Sweet  Lisa  K.  has  a  sadistic  streak. She  wouldn't  do  that  to  us , would  she ? ;D

I think CW could whip them all in shape,

  LOL   !!!!     ;D   Especially  Chloe  and  Lisa  K.   

Exactly

I agree. He treats people like dirt, but our ladies would not put up with it. They'd definitely tell him to cut it out.

I'd pay to see Mairead N hit Bieber over the head with her fiddle lol

To be honest, I'd be interested in seeing a collaboration with Madonna. The contrast between Celtic Woman and Madonna could bring out some unique work. I really think they could benefit from each other. Obviously, it would have to be within reason, so no crossing over the line.
 
Whether you like her or not, you cannot deny she is an incredibly skilled performer, even without all of the antics and stunts. I know Lisa K lists her as one of her inspirations, and I can understand why.

What do you guys think?

lol I don't think they'd get violent.

yeah you're probably right lol but they are Irish after all lol

I will say though, if he ever did work with them, I think it would do him some good, because they'd teach him some very valuable lessons, and they wouldn't put up with any of his bad behavior. And he's be esposed to a different kind of music.

I just had an image of Mairead repeatedly hitting Bieber on the top of his head with her fiddle like she was hammering a nail pop in my head!  ;D

I haven't heard enough Madonna songs to give an objective opinion about that, but I would definately like it if they would collaborate with more main-stream artists. A few years back they worked with Chris de Burgh, and they sang with him I'm Counting On You for the European edition of the Believe cd. It's an really beautiful song.

  The  individual  ladies  of  CW  have  completely  ruined  me  for  other  kinds  of  music- even  the  kinds  I  used  to  like. All the  CWs  outclass  99.9  %  of  what  is  out  there-including  most  of  the  very  successful  pop  "artists"   of  recent  history.  So  any  collaboration with  anyone  outside of  a  very short  list  of  singers would  be a  downgrade. ( including  Madonna)   :P

I think the current group at CW should get together with a short list of singers also:
Chloe Agnew, Lisa Kelly, Hayley Westenra, Orla Fallon, Alex Sharpe, Deirdre Shannon, and MEAV! :)
Amazingly, all of their photos are at the top of this page. ;)

   hmmm...   12  Apostles  and   12 Celtic  Cuties  ....   ;D    'Coincidence ...?  I  think  not.   :D 

For me, Celtic Woman, is, beyond a doubt, my favourite group/band/ensemble, and every individual member are easily amongst my favourite performers in the world. They have a unique style, and no other musical act is as elegant and gracious, be it on or off-stage. In all but a very few cases, if they cover a song, it's my favourite version.

I personally wouldn't find it a downgrade if they performed with certain singers. I mean, of course there are some who, well…just, No! (that includes you Justin) But I also think that there are certain artists who are very different, but similar enough to make a collaboration work (like Madonna). It's not bad to try something different, even if it doesn't work, everybody in the collaboration learns something. - You guys might have your own ideas about who they could team up with.

What CW does, I feel, is the best staging in the world, but I've also seen what I thought was perfect staging, improved by none other than themselves over the past few years: think Orinoco Flow and Nil Se'n La. Maybe with a little outside input, other songs could be improved upon in ways neither we (the fans) nor they (the CW creative team) could ever have imagined.

I think it would be interesting to see what collaboration with other artists could do for CW, not the least of which includes publicity. Celtic Thunder gained extraordinary publicity from Damian's work on Glee, and have been on tour in Australia every year over the past few years, something I'd love to see CW doing, and while I'm not sure is entirely credited to that, it is possible it is.

Yes me too, for example Lisa Lambe singing "A Spaceman Came Travelling" I went and found the original and I liked that version too. Same with "Caledonia" I didn't like that song originally but Susan Mcfaddon and the original made me love it. same with all the traditional irish songs they sing, yet none come close to Celtic Woman!

I can relate to both sides of the discussion. In a sense, hearing Celtic Woman has soured me on a lot of popular music too - it just pales in comparison, now that I've heard something transcendent.

On the other hand, it has expanded my horizons to other celtic artists and songs that I surely never would have discovered otherwise. So, a little bit of both for me.
