Title: Favourite Mairéad solo with CW
Post by: ShiningBright on October 22, 2015, 06:00PM
Mine is still Scarlet Ribbons, but I love them all...

I picked Scarlett Ribbons too, but I also love them all. Although I haven't yet heard the full versions of the two new songs, but I like what I've heard so far. Mairead can sing the phone book!

Out of the new songs, I prefer Like An Angel Passing Through My Room by far over I See Fire.

I went with I Know My Love. That song was so much fun! Granted it didn't show off her range but if it would've been put in place of either one of her Destiny solos, she's have been in better shape. I honestly don't really care for either of her Destiny solos much.

I loved that one too! I know, many people don't like the song or her version of it, but I love it!

WHY though?! I never understood why some people didn't like it and literally no one gave me an answer!!!

I personally don't like the arrangement. I think the Roots of Ireland version was much better, but of course it is personal taste.

I assume it's because of the slightly off-beat and edgy arrangement. But I think that is exactly why I love it so much :D

Yeah same here!

I loved it! It was not only fun to listen to but fun to watch! I saw her perform it last year in concert, and I was blown away!

Same! She was a ball of fire in that little number!

I like Nella Fantasia as it's the only solo I've heard Mairead sing live.  Would be better if Newgrange was still her solo too.

Yeah that's pretty stupid. No idea why they didn't just give Eabha Dulaman as her first act solo and Mairead could've kept Newgrange.

Same here! I pick Newgrange as the Best for Her so far! I absolutely love her's over Orla's offense I'm into both, but there's a different atmosphere to it. Mairead's sounds historic like Stone Henge while Orla sounds medival like a church on top of a hill rather differently.

Nella Fantasia will always be Chloë or Alex :P..
Alex would been even better than Newgrange I don't know how her version sounded!

Eabha is too deep in my opinion for a song like Dulaman.
MC can do Dulman, Susan Newgrange :D because I'm starting to second guess Susan on Dulaman.

I don't think so. She can sing pretty high, as shown in "Winter, Fire and Snow". In my opinion, I am sure she could sing it.

I just listened to Winter for the first time, I believe her version of Dulaman would be closer to Alex from the others so "Yes", she could actually..   :-*

My favorite is "I See Fire".

rfcw, what is Winter?

How do I get "Angel Passing Through My Room" out of my head??  Front row center at last couple of concerts and MC is SO impressive.  Love all her songs.

Out of the new songs, I prefer Like An Angel Passing Through My Room by far over I See Fire.

I agree. I enjoy both of them, but I prefer "Like An Angel Passing Through My Room" by a significant margin.

I picked Scarlet Ribbons. Such a great song, especially when sung by an angel!

Mairéad's Nella Fantasia gave it a run for its money. It was pretty amazing! But to me, Chloë's rendition of Nella Fantasia is the most beautiful version I will ever hear.
