Dancing With the Angels

Q: Since when did "Dancing with the Stars" become "Dancing with the Angels"???

A: Since the Celtic Woman made an appearance there last night!


If any (or all) of these thoughts crossed your mind last night, you're Celtic Woman crazy...

You wished the dancers would've moved to one side, because they were blocking Lisa & Chloe.

You looked frantically for the number to call in on to vote for them, so they wouldn't get voted off on the next show.

You then wondered how you could ever vote for ONLY Lisa, Chloe, Mairead, Lynn, or Alex.

You then breathed a sigh of relief when you realize you don't need to.

You were then disappointed that the Celtic Woman's appearance was so short.

You then put in one of your Celtic Woman DVDs and watched that.

While watching the DVD, you entertain the thought of a "Dancing with the Celtic Woman" show.

You know you'd be the first in line at the audition if they did.

Even though the only thing you know about the Salsa is that it goes well with nachos.

And Tango is that guy on Ghost Hunters.

But you can do the Hand Jive from Grease with the best of 'em.

And the Twist.

You rewind the last five minutes of the DVD because your mind wandered off there.

You apologize to Mairead on the TV screen, vowing that wandering off won't happen again. And it doesn't the rest of the evening.

A Blessed Easter

Blessed Easter!! Christ Is Risen!! Alleluia!!

Pondering what it would've been like if the Celtic Woman were at that first Easter...

Lisa Ponderings

More ponderings on Lisa as Sandy in "Grease"...

Some of the other songs would have to be reworded too...like this one...which would now have to be sung by Danny...

(Sung to the melody of: "There Are Worse Things I Could Do")

There are worse things I could do, than love anyone but you
Even though that Rydell High thinks I'm now as sweet as pie
I suppose it could be true, but there are worse things I could do...
I could act tough with all the guys, deny our love with veil of lies
Have the chicks think I'm really cool, make them think I'm no one's fool
And tease a girl or two, those are things I will not do...

I want you here every night, for this is real, and this is right
I'll face the jeering every day, the wise-cracks which come my way
For you're my dream that has come true...
You will never hear from me, words of spite or jealousy
With you, I am alive, if you leave me, I will die
In fact, I'll tell you true, if I heard "Good-bye" from you
That's the worst thing you could do!

Lovely Lisa

I read that Lisa Kelly starred as Sandy in Grease...

Can you picture that?? Let's see if I can...

Isn't Photoshop great...

I don't know...if Lisa was Sandy, I just can't imagine any guy singing about an old clunker on wheels rather than this angel...you know...

(Sung to the melody of: "Greased Lightning")


Danny: Lisa is a dream, she's my one and only choice, oh yeah...
T-Birds: Keep talkin', please keep talkin'!
Danny: Incredibly pretty, and with the matching voice, oh yeah...
T-Birds: Can't wait to see her, you just can't wait to see her!
Danny: I'll be collapsin' to the floor, but I'll be waitin' there for more
You know it ain't no lie 'cause without her I will die - Lisa Kelly!

Danny: Sweet Lisa Kelly, the beauty of the Celtic Isle...
T-Birds: Lisa Kelly, sweet Lisa Kelly!
Danny: Sweet Lisa Kelly, and her angel's voice and smile...
T-Birds: Lisa Kelly, sweet Lisa Kelly!
Danny: She is supreme, she is my dream, Lisa Kelly!

Another Song for the Angels

Yes, yet another song...and this one in parts for each angel...

(Sung to the melody of: "Fairytopia")


All: Oh what a night, spotlights are shining
All await what this show will bring
The stage is set, the crowd is ready
What a wonderful night to sing...
Lisa: What shall I sing?
Alex: How 'bout "The Blessing"?
Then "The Voice" and "Caledonia"...
Chloe: What should I sing?
Lynn: How 'bout "The Prayer" and "Nella Fantasia"?
All: We're singing!
Mairead is fiddling 'cross the stage, she's such a sight to see
Dancing and gliding through the air...
Mairead: That's me!

Lisa: (spoken) "Sing out"!
Chloe: (spoken) "At the Ceili"!

Alex: I'll sing to that...
Lynn: Let's do a duet...
Alex: Of "Spanish Lady"?
Lynn: "Oronico Flow"!
Lisa: I'll join you both, and also Chloe...
Chloe: La-de-da-da...
All: We're singing!
Whirling and twirling 'cross the stage, you'd swear Mairead can fly
She's got the grace of an angel...
Mairead: On high.

Lynn: (spoken) "Carolina Rua"!
Alex: (spoken) "True Colors"!

All: Welcome to our Isle of Hope, this is a great place to be
Ask any loyal fan here and they'll agree
Where else do angels sing harmonies which are loved by all?
Chloe: Like "Danny Boy" or "Dulaman"...
Lisa: Or "The Call".

Chloe: (spoken) So what follows "The Last Rose of Summer"?
Lisa: (spoken) The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow?

All: "Mo Ghile Mear" also "The Sky and the Dawn and the Sun"
Is there a melody we can't sing?
Mairead: Well, I can't think of one.

Crazy about Celtic Woman

You know you're obsessed with Celtic Woman...

When you have a whole wall (or worse yet, room) in your house with just Celtic Woman stuff.

When you listen to a song sung by another singer (yes, the atrocity of it!), you think about which of the Celtic Woman would sing that song.

You dedicate a whole blog to them. (Guilty as charged!)

When you know the birthdays of all the Celtic Woman, but you have no clue when your own family's birthdays are.

You've named your five daughters Lisa, Chloe, Mairead, Lynn, and Alex. (And you have your little "Mairead" going to fiddle lessons...five days a week...at three weeks old.)

You've named your five SONS Lisa, Chloe, Mairead, Lynn, and Alex.

You have your children do impromptu versions of Celtic Woman songs...sometimes at rather strange places...like the grocery store...kind of like this...


(Sung to the melody of: "Oronico Flow")


What's on sale, what's on sale, down here at the grocery store?
Here's the meat, here's the meat, better make sure that it's lean
What's on sale, what's on sale, get their flyer at the door

Sale today, sale today, sale today. Sale today, sale today, sale today.
Sale today, sale today, sale today. Sale today, sale today, sale today.

Aisle one, hot dog buns, should we take before they're gone?
No instead, pick up bread. Should we pick up two...or three?
And the line for the deli is just way too long
Where's the toothpaste and the soap? They're both in aisle three..

Sale today, sale today, sale today. Sale today, sale today, sale today.
Sale today, sale today, sale today. Sale today, sale today, sale today.

Pick up milk, pick up eggs...my word, it's almost noon
