Here's another item that was posted on a deceased version of this forum, and that I think is worth repeating here. This letter, pulished in a Philadelphia newspaper, gives one audience member's reactions to CW's Philadelphia show. It appears online at the newspaper's site, here:

These women really have it
Letters | Posted on Thu, Mar. 08, 2007
WHAT A THEATER TREAT I got to experience recently. "Celtic Woman" was performed at the Academy of Music, and the show was overwhelming with all the values and honest talent that have taken a back seat to the junk that is worshipped in our declining culture today.
It was so refreshing to see women present themselves as women. These curvy, truly sexy and talented women needed only to be themselves, displaying singing talent equaled only by an angel.
Their movements were natural, and they needed no nudity to be seductive and feminine, yes, feminine and sexy. Our society has managed to pervert the female image and sell it as a product to be bought and sold like drugs - and women's pride and self-worth along with it.
If you want to remember what a real woman is like, see "Celtic Woman" sometime. They haven't been ruined yet. Try it. I'm a very proud Celtic man.

I think he makes a fine point about the group portraying a genuinely feminine image. Also, I appreciated his positive reference to the girls being "curvy" -- which is why I'm posting it here, because above all, that means Chloe
She is providing a positive alternative for today's young girls, to the emaciated images that they see all around them in the media, today.
