Caledonia is my favorite Lisa song and I can't imagine anyone ever doing it better, with more expression or spirit.

Caledonia is tied with The Soft Goodbye for my favorite Lisa song. It has a lot of personal meaning to me.

Absolutely. I couldn't agree more. (I still feel that "Caledonia" is 'Lisa's song'. "Caledonia" is just so Lisa)! And I love this on "Live At Slane Castle". With Lisa and Helen, Ann, Kira, Lorraine, Roisin and Rosemary in on it, this has become an absolute favorite of mine. But, I also love, of course, "Send Me A Song"!!

I don't know how anyone on earth could possibly sing these songs better than Lisa.

Caledonia is my favorite Lisa song in the group but I love all her songs in the group. Lisa's version is by far the best version ever. Once Celtic Woman does a song, no other person should do it, even if they did it first. I also heard someone from Celtic Thunder do You Raise Me Up and it didn't work to well either. Well, that's my opinion.

It depends for some songs on the CDs, but CW does PWN live on stage.

I much prefer Lisa's rendition over CT's.  I'm also a big fan of Dougie MacLean's version.  If you're interested in an altogether different take on this wonderful song, try Delores Keane's.  Her rendition borders on haunting, which I'm not sure is the proper delivery, but it works for me at times.

I just heard Celtic Thunder's version of this song last night (they were on PBS).  I heard Lisa singing it in my head throughout it.  My thought was and is definitely that Lisa's version is THE version of this song!

Yes, it's great.
It brings a smile to my face when I remember how adorable it was to see Lisa singing this onstage, when she was clearly pregnant with Ellie.......as she sang:

"I don't know if you can see
the changes that have come over me".....

everyone in the audience was smiling with her.

Then when she sang "The Blessing", placing her hand over Ellie.......there was not a dry eye in the house.

Lisa certainly knows how to draw out all our emotions......

Lisa's version is far superior to CT. But with he voice any song she dose is far superior. Her voice is a gift from heaven. She has one that comes along only once in a generation.

Yes, I find her voice so unique and wonderful, like a siren, spitfire, yet entrancing, not strident as so many other voices are...so perhaps you are right...shes the one and only of her generation!!!..When she comes out on stage and smiles at
people in the audience, she knows she was born to perform, like her husband Scott Porter said of her and the others.
