Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:celtic_woman_9804.jpg\|frame\|The Original Five - Lisa, Máiréad, Chloë, [[Orla Fallon\|Órla]], and Méav.]] '''Celtic Woman''' is an all-female, New Age/Celtic/Contemporary Classical singing group. Created by music director David Downes, the ensemble blends the girl-group concept of hit groups like the Spice Girls and Celtic artists like Enya with some of the elements of Michael Flatley's Lord of the Dance tour. Their repertoire ranges from Celtic tunes like "Mo Ghile Mear" and "Nil Se'n La" to modern standards like "You Raise Me Up" and "When You Believe." Line 16 ⟶ 15: ==== Former Members ==== * '''[[Orla Fallon ~~(Music)~~\|Órla Fallon]]''': (founding - 2009) - shy, soft-spoken redhead, and a former member of world-renowned Irish chamber choir Anúna. Her unique voice has been consistently raved about; its haunting, ethereal timbre evokes ancient Ireland. Plays the Irish harp, and has accompanied herself on songs like "Carrickfergus" and "Isle of Inisfree." Lisa Kelly described her as "angelic" with very good reason. Released her solo album ''Distant Shore'' in 2009; she wrote several tracks on the album. * '''Méav Ní Mhaolchatha''': (founding - 2007) - curvy, sensual blonde noted for her "delicious wriggles" during performances. Has a thing for upbeat, cheeky songs. Also a former member of Anúna. Has a healthy solo fanbase, particularly in Japan, where her voice is considered "healing music." * '''[[Hayley Westenra]]''': (2006 - 2007) - New Zealander with a thriving solo career and a clear, bell-like voice. Was a big attraction during her single year with the tour. Line 22 ⟶ 21: * '''Alex Sharpe''': (2009 - 2010) - got her start in Dublin's theatre world. First joined the group in 2007 as a replacement for Lisa Kelly, who was on maternity leave; joined permanently after Fallon's departure in 2009. Not featured nearly enough, with just one solo song before her departure. ~~===~~ {{examples\|Discography ~~===~~}}▼ ▲=== Discography === * ''Celtic Woman'' (2005) - with Lisa, Máiréad, Chloë, Órla, and Méav. * ''A Christmas Celebration'' (2006) - with Lisa, Máiréad, Chloë, Órla, and Méav. Line 31 ⟶ 29: * ''Believe'' (2011) - with Lisa, Máiréad, Chloë, and Lisa L. {{creatortropes}} ~~== Celtic Woman Provides Examples Of: ==~~ * [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: ▼ ▲* [[Blonde Brunette Redhead]]: The original lineup - blonde (Chloë, Méav, Máiréad), brunette (Lisa), and redhead (Órla). The 2011 lineup - blonde (Chloë, Máiréad), brunette (Lisa), and redhead (Lisa L). Line 42 ⟶ 39: * [[Fiery Redhead]]: Averted completely. Órla was easily the gentlest and most soft-spoken member of the group. * [[Follow Your Heart]] * [[Four -Temperament Ensemble]]: Says Lisa, "We get along because we're so different. Chloë Agnew is hip, Méav Ní Mhaolchatha is rational, Órla Fallon is angelic and Máiréad Nesbitt is energetic." And Lisa herself? Well, she's the "bossy mommy"! * [[Girl Group]] * [[Genki Girl]]: Máiréad. The way she plays her violin (whenever the music she's playing starts to pick up she begins to ''bounce'' around the stage) should be a good indicator. Line 52 ⟶ 49: * [[Let's Duet]] * [[Melismatic Vocals]] * [[~~Names the Same\|~~Name's ~~The~~the Same]]: With Lisa Lambe's joining the group, things are going to get a mite confusing... * [[Of Corsets Sexy]]: Frequent, and always appreciated. Pretty much universal with Máiréad's costumes. * [[One -Woman Wail]] * [[Pardon My Klingon]]: Songs that are either composed of Gaelic or some other language. * [[Sexy Walk]]: Méav has been noted in the press as the member of the group who adds a "delicious wriggle" to her performances, and tended to be the most blatantly sensual of the group. This trope was a key component of said blatant sensuality. Line 81 ⟶ 78: [[Category:Celtic Woman]] [[Category:Music]] [[Category:Irish Music]]
