I'll never forget when my nana bought me the VHS of Micheal flattleys lord of the dance... I was hypnotized and then this goddess of a woman performed and I was reduced to absolute tears 💖😭
I was in college when I got this on DVD and fell in love with Gillian Norris in this dance. She symbolized everything beautiful about a woman, and she occupied my fantasies. I remember falling asleep watching this, and I just got goosebumps watching this clip after decades of not watching it.
I do not wish to take anything away from Bernadette Flynn, (the other lead) but agreed,..Gillian Norris,to me anyway,was the lead for this show. Cannot even count how many times I've watched this section.
The gypsy dance is exceptional. Through dance he manages to fully show us the personality of the character. From the red wardrobe with black semi-transparent leggings, her dark eyes, curly black hair. The music, her sensual and provocative movements. And the camera movement that follows her dance across the stage. It's great.
It used to be a family tradition to watch Lord of the Dance every St. Patricks Day and this was my favorite dance. God, how can you not love the passion of this dance.
The dancer is beautiful, but the oboist is the real star of the show. The octave jumps in this piece are incredibly technical and challenging. To pull this off - live - and have ZERO errors is incredible.
this song, this dance... feels like home. it's never too late. I watched this on a video tape, hundreds of times over, way back. and I'm going to dance again.
@@dtaylor4552 Ok I looked her up. Do you really think she can pull that off? IDK, she does not seem to be the same caliber person as Gillian is. Hope she can act. :)
david gregory, yes I am old not your age but up there and I used to be a dancer, I had the liberty of a ballerina showing me some moves, man did I make a fortune. Her name was Bonnie, we were in our early 20's. Never forget her, she was an awesome and giving person. But this temptress is one exceptional woman, something about her innocence & grace, you have to have some culture in you to really appreciate this. Thanks for your comment. Hope you are still here and watching her. D 2
@@dustythe2nd188 I would like to team up with Matthew Vaughn and Marv Film Studios to bring "Lord Of The Dance" to the Big Screen as a Biopic set to Michael Flatley's life and the 1997 stage phenomenon.
@@dustythe2nd188 "Lord Of The Dance : The Untold Story" would cast Aiden Turner as Michael Flatley, Siaorse Ronan as Bernadette Flynn, Domnhall Gleeson as Daire Nolan, Masie Williams as Helen Egan, Maura Higgins as Gillian Norris, Cillian Murphy as Desmond Bailey, Katie McGrath as Anne Buckley, Allen Leech as Damien O'Kane, David Tennant as John Reid, Liam Neeson as Ronan Hardiman and Amanda Seyfried as Jean Butler.
In the early 80s when I was very young i would see the roma irish traveller's dancing, they woke me in the middle of the night playing music and singing. I loved watching them. They had wagons and fires out in the fields.This is so like their story.
First, I love your songs. Gypsy just blows my mind. No one puts this sultry piece on any list. It's about time. Got to see Gillian do this live in Pittsburgh. The most seductive thing I've ever seen on a beautiful spring afternoon. Other than 'Strings of Fire', this stole the show that day. Thanks.
Ogni volta che la vedo e l'ascolto, l'emozione che mi coglie è così alta che mi escono le lacrime. Mi chiedo come fa un uomo a produrre una musica così bella e una donna a ballarla in modo fantastico.mi inchino a tanta bellezza.
I would like to team up with Matthew Vaughn and Marv Films to turn "Lord Of The Dance" into a major motion picture set to Michael Flatley's life and the unique creation of the 1997 stage phenomenon.
Love Gillian Norris. Shame she gave Lord of the dance up after feet of flames. She was my favorite dancer and character. I always wanted to dance like her. GYPSY EAGLE WITH FIRE!!!
I absolutely love this performance, so much more than the same at Hyde Park. in this there is an un self-conscious and innocent feeling while still being absolutely gorgeous and sultry. for me, it seems to suggest there is something more than "temptress" to the character and lends a bit of depth.
I always loved this dance. I used to to do Irish dancing as a kid and would make up my own 'sexy' dances to this tune. I told my mum that I wanted to be her when I grew up lol.
I think that Lord Of The Dance would be a fantastic Big Screen Biopic of Michael Flatley and his life long career and the smash hit show of the 1990s starring Aidan Turner as Michael Flatley, Siaorse Ronan as Bernadette Flynn, Allen Leech as Damien O'Kane, Masie Williams as Helen Egan, Domnhall Gleeson as Daire Nolan, Maura Higgins as Gillian Norris, Cillian Murphy as Desmond Bailey, Sarah Bolger as Niamh O'Brien, David Tennant as John Reid, Katie McGrath as Anne Buckley, Liam Neeson as Ronan Hardiman and Amanda Seyfried as Jean Butler.
I wish I could've seen this show when Gillian & Bernadette were in it I'd still go see it now but it wouldn't be the same without those two beautiful women.
If Lord Of The Dance becomes a full length big screen biopic it would star Poldarks Aiden Turner as Michael Flatley, Mary Queen of Scots Actress Saiorse Ronan as Bernadette Flynn and Love Island's Maura Higgins as Gillian Norris in a cast of thousands, directed by Matthew Vaughn and Composers Ronan Hardiman, Henry Jackman and Mathew creating the musical score.
So ok, Lord of the dance is one of the best shows ever been created. I watched it in 2012 with, as I understand it now, new generation of dancers and I loved it, but what can I say now? Yes, the present dancers are way better in technics, dances are more difficult and require 100% technical perfection but Gillian and Bernadette...they are still the best because their every move is full of grace, dignity and enjoy of the dance: they do not perform dances, they live them through))))) P.S. Didn't mean to hurt smb's feelings)
She & Bernadette were the heart & soul of the show as well as Micheal you are right about Gillian & Bernadette living through their dances they pour their heart & sou linto their performances.
I saw the new shit in Las Vegas, I walked out, as it was not Micheal or her or any of them. It sucked. Front row seats too. I saw this the 1st time in 1996, I was a gonner................loved it all esp her!

@@HayRayWayy If Lord Of The Dance becomes a full length feature big screen biopic, Love Island's Maura Higgins would be perfect for the role Gillian Norris because Maura embodies the sexuality to the role.
All River dance dancers are amazing but this beautiful young lady just owned the stage like a comment below this one I will always return to this dance and dancer
I mean it when I say I'm way too hard to impress but this woman SINCE DAY 1 has me inspired head to toe mind to soul. Someone said it but I could not agree more. This role is made for Gillian. She leaves me breathless and ain't no one gon ever do it even close to how she did it😭😭😭🥰🥰🥰🥰
Gillian Norris IS Morrighan, no one ever did it better.The fire, the passion. Leaves me breathless every time.
+Dan Nielsen yea she is a beutifull sleazy gir ans always be to notch in ever way
I know she is really something diff and special. Dusty the 2nd.
After Jean Butler, Gillian is my favourite hard shoe dancer.
Love her!

Gillian is irreplaceable in this role. She used her own earthy femininity to create these moves. No other can fill her shoes. Naturally sensual.
Flatley replaced her. I don't know the exact details but I've seen this dance from someone else the other day.
shut up you puff.
@@RiverWorksCo She would not let him give her one .
@@ufoman4468 huh?

OMG! I was light as a feather once dancing round the living room when no one was home!
And then some, she is so special!!!! Dusty the 2nd. OMG!!!!
It used to be a family tradition to watch Lord of the Dance every St. Patricks Day and this was my favorite dance. God, how can you not love the passion of this dance.
Bought this on VHS for my mom and dad as an anniversary present, this was my dad favourite part, can't think why!
She's the dance goddess. The best and the only real temptress of the show.
The dancer is beautiful, but the oboist is the real star of the show. The octave jumps in this piece are incredibly technical and challenging. To pull this off - live - and have ZERO errors is incredible.

What art and beauty!!! Just love this music and her dancing and innocent in her face, the Temptress..............................
I have never seen another dancer jump as high...she is perfection. She owns this song.
She has a cute Betty Boop face
This is my favourite dance of all time, loved it since I was little.
This is so fantastic, never ever tire of it, so lovely to watch this woman perform
I remember seeing Lord of the Dance live years ago and loved the brilliant music and choreography 🇮🇪
The most beautiful creature I have ever seen walking this earth.

This has got to be the most seductive dance ever. Gillian Norris is just over the top. I went and saw this show three times. Couldn't help it.
She was dancing from age 10, of course it is easy for her, in her blood ! ! Love Gillian!!!!!!!!
If "Lord Of The Dance" becomes a major film, I would definitely cast Maura Higgins as Gillian Norris.
Gillian! What a fantasy you have been for me for so many years!

I cry when I see Gillian dance! She so cool! 😢🥰🤗
Gorgeous little dancer gorgeous music my fave out of whole show
I remember watching this when i was a lil girl and thinking I wanted to be her so badly.
+Jasmin Klee SAME!
I remember watching this when I was a little boy and thinking...I don't think youtube will let me say.
Same here girl, and I have Black curls (but I can't do a single riverdance step for the life of me! )
Same. Now I am 19 years old and I want to be her even more
@@mahomar9813 😂😂😂😂

Dear God in Heaven! That is perfection - style, grace and beauty - not to mention eyes that a man could drown in!
And a woman could drown in those eyes too! Just watch out; her fangs'll getcha!
One of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.
And I'm really gonna write this song in Guitar Pro :) Love it!
Stunning piece of music and the dancing....well WOW.
No doubt about it,she's the best temptress,they should have not replaced this music, it was the best. Still great show in 2024 though.
My Endorfin. All beautiful. Perfekt work cameras and video cut.
Saw the final show in Johannesburg around late 90's. totally awesome!!!Very emotional for the entire cast.

Does anyone know what instrument that is in the background? Clarinet? Oboe? 🤷♀️
I think it's an oboe. Track is 'Gypsy', by Ronan Hardiman.
Sorry, I couldn't tell you, too busy watching Gillian dance.

Its an oboe. I fall in love with this instrument thanks to this song ❤️
I almost thought it was a Cor Anglais or something like that. But an Oboe also sounds plausible
