Orla wants to win Grammy

[celtic_girlakp]

Oh I didn't think of that song. Great one!

With all of the awards shows, with the exception of the Country Music Awards, losing more viewers  each year, having CW on the show and nominated would draw the Public Broadcasting fans.   Not only PBS fans but all of us die hard CW fans would be tuning in.    Can you just hear Chloe and Orlagh reading the nominations.   What a dream.

Enya, Clannad, and the Chieftains have all won Grammys, so I don't see why Celtic Woman couldn't do it.  I would absolutely love to have them win a Grammy - perhaps the World category?

Unfortunately this once beautiful and gifted country has lost itself in the lowest common denominator of crassness,ugliness,and hatefulness when it comes to women,the unborn,and "lower income."This country,once born of True Freedom for all people has lowered itself to one of the most self-centered,instant gratification,"me first,you last" societies the world has ever known! When I began teaching,41 years ago,Parents,children and teachers looked out for each other first,making sure that we were truly, "our brothers keeper". Since then we,as a country have changed,for the worst,to "looking out for number one(me)!"Fortunately there are are some (CW) to show us the way,how to truly care for one another.Let us try to do the same for each other in this country before it is too late! There are many I've met throughout this forum,and in person who would "do unto others as they would have done unto them." I trust all in this forum believe in the same,and would do the same. If you do believe,you can change this country,and the world!!  Mc

I am getting something for Orla that she will like.

McIrish, as I've posted previously in this thread, you are right. CW and parts thereof are so far above the grammys that frankly to get one would be an insult. I know there is a lot of prestige attached to it but it has lost its luster in the moral abyss we've sunk into here in the states. You are also right that this forum contains within it very many truly marvelous and giving people. such is the nature of what Orlagh and all the others in this fine ensemble bring out in people. They are the best at what they do and bring that out in their fans and friends. They are a gift from God like no other and inspire both lyrics and prayer in me daily. Grammy?  . You deserve far better Orlagh as do the rest of Celtic Woman.

What is the importance and relevance of the Grammys these days anyway? More importantly, who watches these award shows, including the Oscars? I have better time spent than watching a bunch of overpaid, underweight, no-talent, publicity-hounding pop stars patting each other on the back telling each other how great they are and how gorgeous they look in that gown. The Grammys is a popularity contest and a method of hyping and pushing record sales than recognizing the actual talent and artistic merits of the music. Load of rubbish, this current state of the music industry.

Even if Orlagh would never win that Grammy, it won't make her any less worthy or respected. She won't lose anything but her wonderful unadulterated talent and the many fans that brought her to her music in the first place.

Nicely said! Looks like there are a few of us on this soapbox.

[mainopsman]

I agree 1000%.   True Class wins out in the end.  Oralgh is a lady with True Class.   She and all of the other ladies are head and shoulders above the rest.

Well no matter what all of the girls deserve some kind of an award for all there hard work that they have done to share there wonderful music with us. I am going to make up an award for them called the "Thankyou award" And CW will be the first to recieve it!

[Shywolf(Craig)]

I got "awards" planned too. I sent one to Ray though coming back cuz didn't know custom charges need to be collected at receipent location. So going to resend it when I get back end of next month.

[celtic_girlakp]

Really what kind of award was it?

[Shywolf(Craig)]

All I am going to say it has music theme. It will be re-sent.

[celtic_girlakp]

Good enough!

Orla won't be able to win a Grammy this year but could still go to the ceremony in February to support Hayley Westenra. She is nominated in the musical category for the recording of West Side Story. Fingers crossed for Hayley!
