Mairead Nesbitt was in Riverdance and was a former champion for Irish Fiddling. Lisa Kelly was also in Riverdance, a lead soloist. Meav and Lynn were members of Anuna. If I’m not mistaken, so is Orla. And Chloe has been performing for quite a while. With backgrounds like these, I find it extremely difficult to believe that these beautiful and talented young ladies would lip-synch.

Trust me, I’ve been to their concerts before. They’re not lip-synching. It sounds nothing like the CDs they’ve released. Whether you want to believe it or not, that’s up to you. I will always remain a fan.

Does anyone know where I can get the lyrics on the net for ‘The Blessing’?
Love the sound and sight of Celtic Woman, but I agree with other comments, it does look like lip synching and annoys me too.
Lisa is divine.

I agree with Philly. I think that lip syncing is a total cop out. I can understand some vocal enhancement if they were dancing and moving around like crazy, but they’re freaking just standing there. They don’t move their bodies, arms, or even their faces. What are people paying for when they go to the show? Couldn’t they just have cardboard cut outs with a little mouthpiece moving? Isn’t that basically the same thing? Or how about a movie screen draped in the front of the stage and have their images projected on it?

If you want some beautiful music with a beautiful woman actually singing celtic music, try Sinead O’Connor. She does a lot of modern stuff, but she’s also the real deal.

Or Kate Rusby does actual traditional folk songs as well as modern stuff. Actually sings and plays guitar.

The Celtic Women are really bothering me. But, again, I think it goes to show that people just are too lazy to really care about spending some time to find and understand true talent. I don’t doubt that these women have talent if they actually do the recordings they are pantomiming to, but part of the beauty of a live performance is hearing the nuance, or the little imperfections here and there that make it organic.

I feel that their entire show is a deception. I didn’t pay that kind of money to sit in the audience and listen to pre-recorded music! I could have purchased the CD and listened to it at home or in the car. When people pay money to see a concert—they should hear what they see! I will not even purchase one of their CD’s after attending the concert. The concert wasn’t even moving because a true musician could tell it wasn’t happening.

I agree they are lipstncing and it bothers me. I went to one of their concerts and was totally disappointed! The fiddle player isn’t playing one lick—just pretending. For the price of the tickets I wanted to see a live performance–not a pre-taped fluff! It amazes me that people actually think the entire show is live. Most all of the music was pre-taped and a lot of the vocals were enhanced as well.

Hi Bill,
To answer your question, first of all I do not know how you know that this lip-syncing is actually happening, I am not too sure it is. If it is, so what! In the world of entertainment there are voice overs, computer photoshope ex…. Have you complained about all that? But as long as it is their voices, and it is, I can live with it. I saw them in concert, and WOW it was awsome. I will never be the same. Eric

Doesn’t it bother any of you that these women are lip-syncing these songs in the video and on the tv broadcasts, and the fiddle player is pantomiming?

This is what God wanted to do when he created beauty. My life will simply never be the same. Thank you, Eric
