Is this lady of this earth? Her voice, her delivery of the song with such expression brings the song to life. Add to that her beauty and it is sheer magic. I have seen Celtic Woman live twice in its earlier years and it continues to amaze. I hope I can somehow see it live again.
I'm proud to have Irish blood on my mom's side. People like this make me proud of my family. I doubt they will read this but if so, I love you guys so much! Also if you liked this there is a singer who is similar to her. Her name is Lorena mckennet. I went to a concert, amazing experience.
A solo unsurpassable! I have never seen such a performance of such magnitude. Mairead's beautiful and angelic voice strongly displays the passion, unity and love facing destiny. The subtle flow of the fiery rear screen imposed with her body caressed in heavenly blue makes for a perfect illustration of the Tolkien song. Never have I been more moved or impressed to the point of the gods' will, and please remembering me.
...yawn....how ordinary. WHAT ever happened to ALL the talented backup musicians (Slane's Castle; Powers Mansion& Garden; FABULOUS FOX; ) NO DRUMMERS; no orchestra (strings, woodwinds, brass) NO GRAND PIANO; no choir, no dancers, NOTHING in the background (except some projection in the Round Room)......I miss my old original Celtic Woman AND orchestra, drums, percussion, piano, b.g. voices.....did the budget get cut in half or something? Just sound like a female version of a barbarshop quartet
I love Celtic music, must be my Irish and Scottish heritage. But I’m going to admit, this is the first time that I have heard a song done by Celtic Woman, and this rendition of “I See Fire” is just simply stunning; I’ve heard it sung by other men, but this is the first time I’ve heard a woman sing it. And it’s so beautiful!
It’s not just her vocals, the back music is sooo mesmerizing. The guitar, light flutes, the percussion, the blends of strings. Captivated. Loved Ed and Boyce Avenue version also👏👏👏
@@andrewpanin3435 actually it's live, you can tell from the sound of the instruments. The version on Spotify sounds a bit more polished. I think her voice is so pathetic that it just sounds autotuned
From Chile I am joined to the big Celtic Woman fans. Some days ago looking for a special video, I find out this wonderful group. all the ladies are so lovely, beautiful and marvellous singers. I think all of them have come from the sky. Irish people must be very pride to have such bunch of angels. Amazing every performance. God bless you all always
Raises goosebumps and makes you shiver all over .... not sure if she is a syren lurking men to their doom....or an angel welcoming souls through the gates of heaven ...
Her bearing and presentation during this song is almost as amazing as her voice. The way she carries the tension and energy of the song in her body, her movements. Beautiful.
I am from Prescott Arizona. Three years ago 19 firefighters died in a fire on the mountain. This song gives me chills and tears me up. Specially the part about dying together. A reminder of those 19 souls.
I was living and working in Prescott Valley then, that day on the way to work I saw the back-side of the storm that was over Yarnell vexing the wind forecastd and I remarked "that's the ugliest storm I've ever seen."
Heather Newitt Yes it was devastating to our town. It seemed as if everyone knew one of them. My husband actually went to fire school with the captain. The movie was pretty good I saw it too. Since I already knew the whole story and the outcome it didn’t affect me like it did you, but I still cried. Everyone in town put purple ribbons On their cars, also Flags everywhere.
@@sharikraft1706 yeah it's a horrible loss of life. I will never watch the movie again, because quite frankly I felt it to my core and it's just to much for me.
Easily the best female performance of this song hands down without question. How appropriate for her to be the one to give the jaw dropping performace. Couldnt imagine being there live....
Multi mixed tears...tears of joy accumulated with tears from hearing the truth built within her voice, then series of tears filled with how sad this would be for us the witness. With all the different types of emotions throughout her story, she sings with her mystifying voice designed to be so beautifully sung any empath will be drawn in and take notice... Thank you sister for the message which can only be heard from a passionate voice thus be given ability to hear the song for what It truly is. A revelation...
gotta be honest, I grew extremely tired of hearing Ed Sheeran's songs on the radio, they keep playing the same songs over and over again, and yes, they're great, but I just sigh every time and switch to a different channel. it's really refreshing to hear this song being sung so beautifully by this lady. probably the first time in months I listened to this song from beginning to end.
I totally agree, but I always loved this song. I can listen to it over and over and over again, just not Ed's version. Go look up other covers, it's so worth it.
Yes probably, Also this song was at the end of the 2ed movie in the trilogy created by Peter jackson and is a sons about Smaug attacking Erobor.(sorry I spelled that wrong)
This song and this woman were predestined for this perfection that has mercifully graced my ears. I have naught but benevolence and admiration for such a feat!!! This song hits my soul the visuals of a man's people and home burning to be lost to history and eventually forgotten. It hurts me so much, It makes my heart scream as I see my people whom I love and who made me directly and indirectly into what I am today. I, of course, speak of my beloved fellow Europeans and their love of life. It makes me cry mightily as it spirals more and more into a woeful ordeal on all sides. Outside invaders and inside traitors, May she recover better than ever.
Everytime I listens this singer singing this song. I keep getting an image of a beautiful princes singing the song to remind people of her lost homeland. Its goes like this. A beautiful yellow hair beauty standing on the ledge out looking at the majestic mountains on the other side, and with a wind blowing downs on her, and all the while the beautiful lady would be singing the song. That are what that song are telling me.
My 11 month old daughter LOVES this version of this song. As soon as I put it on, she instantly focuses on the screen and doesn't move her eyes until it is over lol
Mairead has the most beautiful voice.💖 she is a gorgeous dark haired maiden of beauty....her voice is so silky and smooth with the most highest quality of melodic harmonies of crystal clear tones💖
Máiréad Carlin has a voice like an Angel. I do not believe I have ever heard such a sweet and beautiful voice in all my life. I saw her ( Celtic Women ) in Rockford Illinois. So many empty seats that I was embarrassed for my town.
I'm in Rockford, IL, and besides this town being the rectal orifice of ILL-Annoyed, there is absolutely ZERO chance that concert would get much of any mention on any advertising in town. This burg sucks dog-doo, to put it nicely.
![The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug - Ed Sheeran "I See Fire" [HD]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/mllXxyHTzfg/mqdefault.jpg)
Ed Sheeran's sounds like when it's all happening, her version sounds like a re-telling and dedication. Both are honestly gorgeous.
get these two to duet, and 'I see fire' will hit number 1 again, and stay there for at least a decade.
@@matthewvalentine2044 nah.. needs a shitty bass drum loop for that to happen. This is far superior for anything chart related
Agree, simply a beautiful song.
Why is this so accurate
Well said!
This cures my depression. It makes my mind calm down and brings me to a safe place. I find comfort in music especially Celtic and Irish folk music
One of the best guitar riffs I've ever heard.
I was thinking the same, the guitar is very nice in this song ^^
Yes!
Yes, I love it
Listen to "20 Years" by The Civil Wars. It will remind you of this!
That guitarist looks so much like the news reporter Nando Villa it aint funny
When that guitar came in.......lawd help me, this was beyond beautiful.
How she does the breathy technique when singing "i see fire" is incredible! I love when singers do that but this is just another level.
She is a siren for sure. Didn’t know someone could sound so beautiful.
One of the most beautiful women that I've ever seen and possibly the most beautiful voice that I've ever heard.
@@markpasse9691 Her voice is truly beautiful..I love that it's natural and not forced .
@@markpasse9691 Mark I agree so much ..I had to your channel😁📚🎵
Maybe you should listen to Karliene Reynold's rendition, it's not as soft but has the same beautiful and haunting quality
Would like to see a duet with her and Ed Sheeran.... Would be magical.
Celtic Woman is made of angels on earth. God bless them.
All of the Lord Of The Rings/Hobbit soundtracks bring literal tears to my eyes. They are beautifully crafted masterpieces.
Words cannot express how beautiful her voice is nor can they express how beautiful she is. Her husband is the luckiest man in the world
Agreed
Is this lady of this earth? Her voice, her delivery of the song with such expression brings the song to life. Add to that her beauty and it is sheer magic. I have seen Celtic Woman live twice in its earlier years and it continues to amaze. I hope I can somehow see it live again.
All of them sing so beautifully!!!
Of all the various combinations of members over the years Mairead is the most expressive ( and beautiful).
I am proud to be Irish! This girl is a credit to my culture.
This is exactly why i love irish people...
Probably a little biast but I agree our Irish woman are the most beautiful.
credit to my eyes 😍❣❣
cuhulainsblood
Biased or not, doesn’t mean that’s anything but the truth. One trip to the Isles and I left thinking “I gotta find me an Irish woman”
I am also but more to be American!
I'm proud to have Irish blood on my mom's side. People like this make me proud of my family. I doubt they will read this but if so, I love you guys so much! Also if you liked this there is a singer who is similar to her. Her name is Lorena mckennet. I went to a concert, amazing experience.
I'm reading@1961 I'm from Dublin TX so I have a little Irish in my also

Have you watched the one of Lisa performing "The Voice" ?
This song is both so brutal and also beautiful. A perfect encapsulation of mortality and the sadness that comes with it.
Her voice is like an angel's, I swear to god. Absolutely divine.
LOL
jevetta steel - calling you
That! my guy, that is an angel...
Then join her voice with Disturbed's lead singer.
I'm sure you'd get fireworks outta that collab.
and heres me thinking angels all sounded butch
The new arrangement for Chole would have been great without that horn. The horn was annoying
As Sherlock Holmes once said of Irene Adler, she has “a voice that a man might die for.” -from “A Scandal in Bohemia.”
Brian Bommarito you sir, are amazing for mentiontthis❤️👏🏼
Yeeeeesssssss freaking love this comment
Yes Bro, a girl doesn't get much more beautiful than her and a voice doesn't get any more beautiful, truly magnificent.
More like a voice to live for
Oh Sherlock...
Flawless performance by Mairead Carlin. She is a magnificent singer.Her movements,expressions,stage presence pure excellence. She has it all.
...yawn....how ordinary. WHAT ever happened to ALL the talented backup musicians (Slane's Castle; Powers Mansion& Garden; FABULOUS FOX; )

Just sound like a female version of a barbarshop quartet
PPaco N. Martinez-Garoutte I respect your opinion. But I hope Mairead stays with them for a while. her voice is beautiful no doubt
Aw, she's a fine mime artist
How do I pronounce her name? It's beautiful.
I would pillage and plunder so much treasure and many lands for her.
Her blue dress & her voice... her entire presence represents the soothing water that can help curb the destruction pictured in the song and the movie.

She's so expressive when she sings. You can see the passion she has for it!!! I love her voice!
Goosebumps
She is a huge fan of Tolkins work.
Disagree... she has a nice voice but there’s not much emotion in it. This song is about imminent death... needs more passion
@@greenebee She's got emotion, it's just the wrong emotion for this song. She's singing it like a love song.
Wtf, are her vocal cords made out of silk?! She sings so good it feels like all other singers i ever heard suck
exactly
There's autotune on the audio lmao.
@@andrewpanin3435 actually it's live, you can tell from the sound of the instruments. The version on Spotify sounds a bit more polished. I think her voice is so pathetic that it just sounds autotuned
* perfect. Oops 😂
@@NirvanaIsMyDrugg lmfao
Her voice is so solid and ethereal..sweet and strong. I love celtic women voices..

I think all of them have come from the sky. Irish people must be very pride to have such bunch of angels. Amazing every performance. God bless you all always
The best 'Celtic Woman' ever...... She is beautiful, sings beautiful, divine.....lovely, expressive, magnificant!!!
Agree. So sad she has left. Was my fave as well
Raises goosebumps and makes you shiver all over .... not sure if she is a syren lurking men to their doom....or an angel welcoming souls through the gates of heaven ...
She has a voice as soft and warming as a gentle caressing breeze. Her performance perfectly sync'ed with the music! Excellent!
to be blessed with that voice and those looks...astonishing, she was created to do what she's doing.
This is what I imagine sirens or mermaids sound like.
Beautifully said
They do. It is. I am.
Mike Wilburn is it pronounced Celtic as the soccer team or like the Celtic tiger
And look like. ;)
@@johnnyman3138 It's pronounced with a hard "C", so basically like a "K" sound
As an Australian of Irish and Scottish Highlander heritage, impossible for me to dislike!
WOW.. this is hauntingly beautiful the way she did it
My grandma always enjoyed watching Celtic women and Celtic Thunder which were the men on TV
My english is poor but I know one word that fits with this song: goosebumps
Understanding is not needed for appreciation and communion of the soul.
Described the vid better than all the native English speakers here
@@dereka64 He didn't though, let's be honest... he used one basic word to describe how he felt listening to this song
Your English is great!
Damn good enough.
Mairead is truly stunning. Both vocally and physically. Pure perfection.
0:36 Love that expression
She has such incredible control of her voice
Her bearing and presentation during this song is almost as amazing as her voice. The way she carries the tension and energy of the song in her body, her movements. Beautiful.
A voice of an angel 😇🌹. My mom was an Irish beauty and could sing the phone book and make it sound like heaven.
Pure magic. Beautiful voice, gorgeous girl. This isn't fair. I live in Australia, why are French and Irish women so beautiful. They're too far away.
You're women are beautiful too m8 ;-) Greetings from Norway!
@@oled.gudmundeide6664 Yes Bro. Isn't it fun to have a conversation like this? I love women.
@@markpasse9691 Yes, wouldn't be a world without them 😉
My heart awakens when I hear these angels sing...I never understood what it was until I learned my family's past; Irish descent.
Both physically and vocally, she's beautiful. Wow!
The dress, the hair, the voice
Mairead Carlin is one of the Valar
I was introduced to Celtic women as a kid and simply the word "grateful" isn't enough to express how thankful I am for these talented women's singing
The ideal of beauty in voice and appearance--I want to believe her soul is the same.
She's got a fine arse, to be sure
bobolinkr 😂😂😂😂
@@bobolinkr 😌🔫
I wonder what is like to perform with a voice that perfect. Like you don't just sound amazing in your head but your voice is actually perfect.
This was the best performance I've ever seen, this song is really good. This woman sings a lot
Celtic songs are so beautifully sung,esp by these ladies.

I love Celtic Woman, her, this song and her voice, she reminds me much of myself! :)
Lovely Voice - will go far - hope she has a long happy life & sings for us for many years !!!
Plus she just got married 9-26-16.
best wishes and a long happy beautiful marriage to you

Coronavirus got me binge watching this. I'm pretty messed up. Can't stop though. 😢
I'm from California and this always makes me think of what the Camp Fire did to Paradise. Rest in Peace.

Soooooo Smooth... Susan McFadden and Mairead Carlin together. oh yes.. I can fall asleep easily listening to their voices with no problems. Thank you.
She looks like Xena the warrior princess ! Amazing talent gorgeous woman And lovely music
I cant really find the words to explain how fire this performance is. Talk about the tingly feeling...umm wow

I,m not an Irish but hearing Mairead singing I feel like be one. My heart and my soul is in love whith !
Jesus her voice is beautiful!! And she sounds like an Angel
A very beautiful woman with a beautiful voice. Mairéad Carlin is by far one of my favorite singers
Her voice is what I imagine one would hear as they ascended to heaven.
More like to tîr na Oog, Celtic "heaven"
I could not have said it any better.
No autotune, no lip synching here. Just talent, and a lot of hard work.
I’m pretty sure she’s a magical elf with that beautiful magestic voice that echos through your vains and makes you want to cry at how beautiful it is.
Yes probably, Also this song was at the end of the 2ed movie in the trilogy created by Peter jackson and is a sons about Smaug attacking Erobor.(sorry I spelled that wrong)
She's a great singer. She is absolutely gorgeous.
Saw this live with my wife. She is truly amazing. ❤️
SUBLIME ! ABSOLUMENT PARFAIT ! MERCI MADAME POUR CE MERVEILLEUX MOMENT.
Her voice, Chloe Agnew, and Hayley Westenra are like a crackling fire and a pint of Guinness. Simply beautiful! I love this version.
I feel fire burning my heart because this voice is inhumane. Bless her.
Now excuse me I'll go cry.
I absolutely love her version of this song ❤ absolutely beautiful 🤩
Mairead's voice is mesmerizing
Moved to tears, they stream down my face as I click replay
Angel with a beautiful voice!
I'm no where near Irish but I find this genre of music so fascinating!
Isaiah Lee ; The Celts and Gaels go way back to the Roman conquest of the North to 300-400 A.D. You could be a bit more Irish than you know.
The most beautiful woman ever.
something rare and distinctive in the timbre and quality of a celtic woman's voice i.e. this young lady, mary black and maura oconnel
Beautiful woman, beautiful voice, beautiful performance. I do not have to add anything else. Thanks ☺
Beautiful, I think Ed would be very proud and happy! She sang so elegantly and graceful!
This song and this woman were predestined for this perfection that has mercifully graced my ears. I have naught but benevolence and admiration for such a feat!!!
This song hits my soul the visuals of a man's people and home burning to be lost to history and eventually forgotten. It hurts me so much, It makes my heart scream as I see my people whom I love and who made me directly and indirectly into what I am today. I, of course, speak of my beloved fellow Europeans and their love of life. It makes me cry mightily as it spirals more and more into a woeful ordeal on all sides.
Outside invaders and inside traitors, May she recover better than ever.
Celtic Woman songs alway gives me chills. This is no exception. Incredible
Every now and then,its not a bad thing to get a bit nostalgic
This brings a lot of memories,truly beautiful performance 👏
I saw you beautiful princesses a decade ago. Your songs have grown up. I can't wait to see your show again, it sounds amazing.
I love this version of this song. Its so beautiful, emotional and just perfect
Everytime I listens this singer singing this song. I keep getting an image of a beautiful princes singing the song to remind people of her lost homeland.

her bone structure and with this voice
damn
Bone structure - 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I know right those cheeks
Dem bones doh
I'd like, but it's at 69.
@peacelovechocolate she probs has a penis or somethung, there's always a negative
My 11 month old daughter LOVES this version of this song. As soon as I put it on, she instantly focuses on the screen and doesn't move her eyes until it is over lol
Breathtaking, stunning, and overwhelming ...... WOW.
Beautiful! She has the gift of the Celtic fairy voice...she is the spirit she sees! Blessings Sister. This was amazing!
Powerful, haunting music, exquisitely delivered. Thank you, all! Thank you for uploading this amazing performance.
I am a 40 year old combat veteran, moved to tears by a song ive heard different versions of 100 times, absolutely beautiful. Truly.
This woman's voice is heavenly.
Mairead has the most beautiful voice.💖 she is a gorgeous dark haired maiden of beauty....her voice is so silky and smooth with the most highest quality of melodic harmonies of crystal clear tones💖
Words cannot describe how her voice makes me feel! I feel as if I have captured a moment of heaven in her voice! I love it so much.
Her voice is absolute perfection and she is beautiful to top it off.
She really is in the interpretation, that's what this song deserves ❤ LOVE YOU MAIREAD !
How can you not remember her??? Her voice is like the Angels!
Never heard an angel singing before...💞💗
So beautiful! Also she is as gorgeous as her voice!
How to capture an entire classic text in a single song. Exceptional.
so soft and pure! she is absolutely gorgeous somebody better put a ring on her!
Máiréad Carlin has a voice like an Angel. I do not believe I have ever heard such a sweet and beautiful voice in all my life. I saw her ( Celtic Women ) in Rockford Illinois. So many empty seats that I was embarrassed for my town.
Maybe their fault for scheduling Rockford. They should've performed in Chicago instead.
Lisa Kelly performances for celtic woman was excellent too.
I'm in Rockford, IL, and besides this town being the rectal orifice of ILL-Annoyed, there is absolutely ZERO chance that concert would get much of any mention on any advertising in town. This burg sucks dog-doo, to put it nicely.
