So excited! I got to see Howley playing when she was on tour with Riverdance, so this is sure to be an album to deliver!

After more & more listens, I really am liking "When You Believe". I like it a lot better than when Chloe sang it originally (aka. Chloe version 1.0).
PS. How do I change my vote, if I wanted to? I only see the poll results right now.
If you see 'Remove Vote', I believe that's where you can change your vote. However, that will remove all your current votes, so you'll need to vote for the one you previously chose again if you so desire.

My copy of the DVD arrived yesterday (along with the CD) and having just ran through a couple of songs with it, there's a little gimmick I'd like to point out just in case no one has noticed yet, or are wanting to know about the DVD before picking it up. You know how, if you live a country like the UK, Europe or Australia, if you get a DVD release of a film, its audio track is most commonly pitched up a semitone? Well, that's the case with this DVD as well. This was very rare, considering most of the other Celtic Woman DVDs I own are all in their original pitch. There's nothing about it which poses a problem by all means - I just thought I'd let everyone be aware of it while I could

Oh, to be bewildered...

My reasons for my votes: Is Sinne Mná na hÉireann: I personally adore how this song shifts from being gentle to dramatic and then back again – it just adds to the epicness factor that is needed in such an opening number! I Know My Love: As I've previously mentioned, this arrangement gives me Spanish flamenco/tango vibes, and I love it for that! Sionnan (Shannon): A very simple but beautiful piece – Muirgen and Emma's voices blend together like two peas in a pod. Hand me some tissues for when they perform it on tour 🥺 Cinema Paradiso: Zero words needed, except... welcome back, Mairéad  Téir Abhaile Riú: I enjoy how this stays true to the style of Gavin's arrangement, but the Celtic instruments being more prominent on it than the previous version really improves the overall tone of the song. Most importantly, the "céilí" feel that was lacking in Gavin's arrangement is back in business

If anyone wants to change Emma's forum profile picture, here's one you can use (from the About section of the Celtic Woman website)

I love it! It has a lot of Spanish flamenco/paso doble vibes to it just from the use of the acoustic and percussion instruments alone

Hope you enjoyed yourself! The Wellerman sounded like a very fun number for the lads to perform!

Lots... - Brave (an absolutely underrated film and soundtrack in my personal opinion)
- Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (well worth checking out if you're a world cinema geek)
- The Greatest Showman (definitely an unsurprising choice when you think of it)
- Anything composed by Hans Zimmer (especially Inception and Interstellar)
- The Middle-Earth saga (though the films themselves aren't entirely my cup of tea)
- Any Studio Ghibli film (especially My Neighbour Totoro and Spirited Away)
- Star Wars (though again, I'm not as fussed with the films as I am with their music)

GET IN! A Máiréad/Tara duet would be off the charts!

I can't wait to hear Mairéad, Tara, Muirgen and Emma together! This is going to be outstanding!
If they had a guest along who would you want.
Probably Éabha, though I feel like Susan would be more likely to show up once or twice.

I'd specifically like it to have twenty songs and be presented in a two-disc set (ten songs on each disc).
My tracklist predictions:
Disc 1
01. You Raise Me Up (Voices of Angels or The Greatest Journey version)
02. Amazing Grace (Songs from the Heart, Emerald or Ancient Land version)
03. Mo Ghile Mear (My Gallant Star) (with or without Homecoming Lament)
04. Wild Mountain Thyme
05. Orinoco Flow (original or Ancient Land version)
06. Ballroom of Romance
07. Homeland
08. May it Be (original or Postcards from Ireland version)
09. Danny Boy (Emerald, Voices of Angels or Ancient Land version)
10. Téir Abhaile Riú (Believe or Voices of Angels version)
Disc 2
01. Fields of Gold
02. Níl Sé'n Lá (Songs from the Heart, Emerald or Voices of Angels version)
03. Beeswing
04. Tír na nÓg
05. Follow Me
06. Dúlaman (A New Journey, Emerald or Voices of Angels version)
07. My Land
08. The Voice (A New Journey or Emerald version)
09. Long Journey Home
10. The Parting Glass (Believe, Emerald or Ancient Land version)

I hope that, like in previous milestones, Celtic Woman release a compilation album for their 20th anniversary.
If they do, what tracks would you like to see featured? Do you think they'll be from previous albums or new re-recordings?

Emma would SMASH Fields of Gold, and seeing Mairéad and Muirgen in the same room makes wonder if they'll do The Last Rose of Summer 🤔
As for songs they haven't done before, I'd LOVE to see Tara perform either The Lonely Shepherd or the theme from Princess Mononoke.
