Maraid Singing?

[oregongirl29]

I remember hearing somewhere that Mairaid recorded a song of her singing something, Is this true? and where can I find it?

[oregongirl29]

Never mind I found it, Her singing voice is totally different from her speaking voice, Alot lower.

  From the front row, I've heard her sing, albeit without a microphone, on songs occasionally, such as "Sing Out".  I'm afraid she got to hear me sing on Green Grow the Rushes last week in Louisville, as I was at her feet some during much of it, just a couple of feet from the stage there at the Palace!

 I don't know if this is what you were referring to, since I lack "adobe flash"... but I know Mairead sings on one track of her "Raining Up"  CD.      #9  I believe.

   That's right, track #9 on Raining Up is called an raibh tú ag an gcarraig?  The lyrics are in Irish. I don't know of any other songs in which Máiréad  vocalizes.

Thank you everyone,I almost didn't recognize her voice at first.

[Emer Dreamer]

  Of course...Mairead has a small speaking part at the end of the Helix Christmas concert.  "Let  it snow".....she whispers in a sweet sultry voice at the end of  the song "Let It Snow".

If you have heard the remix of Skidoo, that is also her voice.

[Kimberly AJ]

I would like to call that remix "Love's Just A Sinner's War" becasue this line has been mostly sung a few times.

Wow, even though I've had Raining Up ever since it came out....I didn't know that was her on #9. Woww I'm super smart.

Well thanks guys for clearin that up for meh!!

  Don't feel too bad....A person wouldn't know that unless they got out a magnifying glass and looked at the small print in the jacket cover. I just can't do it without my reading glasses.

Her singing voice sounds very different, but I like it.  I think she has a pretty voice. 

[AggieGuy]

I think she has a pretty voice. 

She does.  I was glad to hear her sing at the end of the show in Grand Prairie.  It was nice how the other girls waited a little bit to join in.

If they really wanted to throw the audience a great curve ball, they'd have her do a solo.

Of course , yes, Mairead can sing. Below is a poem to honor Mairead for her singing part in "Let It Snow".
I wrote and posted it here several years ago. You can find it if you searched long enough. Anyways here it is below.
I'm going to have to write it out and put it in a Christmas card for her. I'm sure I'll find someone attending a Symphony
concert that can get it to her.

Here it is for those who have not seen it. I love it. This snowflake, this fiddler, this tinkerbell,
this singer, is simply incredible. Everyone loves Mairead.

It helps if you've seen the Christmas DVD track of "Let It Snow"

Snowflakes and Fiddle Players, Dear Mairead

Come my children and listen to me
A story to tell you, like a wonderful dream
About a beautiful snowflake, she sings you see
Once upon a time on a joyous Christmas Eve

I sat in silence, above a Christmas stage
To hear her voice and the fiddle she played
Celtic Woman and Christmas, and a song they sang
Let it Snow, say Lisa, and Orla, and Chloe and Meav

No Dancer, or Prancer, or Vixen on parade
But a lovely snowflake, dear Mairead, center stage
Her voice a soft silence, but she danced her strings, she played
And like a snow princess, she waved and she waved

Her magic wand you see, and the big band played and played
An angel smiles, and she sings,  tell ‘em Lis,
And snowflakes released, softly floating, floating, floating  down
Mairead just smiled and smiled and smiled, her snow friends come to town

Then the piano man with his ivory keys to lead, to lead
On Lisa! On Orla! On Chloe and Meav,  they plead
And all the merry singers dashed away, dashed away, to please
And Mairead, center stage, the most beautiful thing

She twirled in joyous laughter, then smiled to sing!
“Let It Snow”
My heart was pounding, my eyes began to tear
She smiled once more, and in a twinkling, disappeared!
The warmest and softest voice you could ever hear

What is a snowflake but perfect in every way
A gift from the heavens, come Christmas Day
With strings of crystal, a fiddler’s perfect play
Snowflakes and fiddle players, Oh dear Mairead

You are our music, this love you play
“Let It Snow”
So sang Lisa, and Orla, and Chloe and Meav
And a lovely snowflake we call Mairead
Once upon a time, once upon a time one Christmas Eve

^^ I love that, Lester!!

Not only is Mairead's singing voice good, but let me just say how much I love her speaking voice!! Her accent is so delightfully thick and I'll never forget the way she said my name when I was talking to her. I also loved it when she introduced You Raise Me Up at the concert. She did a great job doing that and again, sometimes I think I love listening to her speak just as much as I love watching her play.
