Talk:Celtic Woman

message: No mention of criticism?  Because, IMO (which doesn't count, I understand), this "group" and its ilk have bastardized real Irish music.  I'd like to see some discussion of the difference between real Irish music and the various 
pop-sugar forms of exploitation.

message: Perhaps in the trivia section we might add the recently-aired parody, "Celtic Ho"?

thread_title: Celtic Ho

message: I'd like to add which vocalist performs the songs on all three albums so if someone has a problem with that speak now or forever hold your peace. I plan to add them in alphabetical order if a song is performed by two or more singers. --77.105.60.165 04:19, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I take it you will add this information to the individual album articles?  I don't necessarily see a problem with that, though I would suggest creating tables to contain the information (look at how something similar was done for Fallen). -- Huntster T • @ • C 08:42, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, I tried, but I suck at this. Can you help me? A table is a better solution.--212.200.213.73 23:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay, Celtic Woman (album) is fixed up.  All you have to do is drop in the names between the "small" tags.  Also, if you could double check the track times and supply any other data, it would be appreciated.  Just let me know if you need any other help. -- Huntster T • @ • C 08:02, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's done. Looks good if you ask me.--212.200.213.73 17:35, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

text: OK, I completed the Christmas album as well. Also I added the Billboard charts entries, but I couldn't find how the first album charted (maybe you know other source other than allmusic.com). One more thing, the Little Drummer Boy is credited to Chloë Agnew / Órla Fallon, however when I first heard it I didn't know who actually sang it but I could have sworn the 2 voice wasn't Chloë's. I'm still not sure. Doesn't sound like any of her other recordings. --212.200.213.73 19:31, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: A New Journey has been converted, so have at it.  I will attempt to locate something for the Billboard charts, but seeing as how I'm not a fan of including music charts on Wikipedia, it won't be at the top of my priority list.  As for the vocalists, eh, if that is who they said sang it, then that's who we'll credit.  No big deal.  There's still a lot of work to be done to bring these Celtic Woman articles up to par, but we'll get there.  Also, have you considered registering a username? -- Huntster T • @ • C 20:21, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I separated out the DVD's and CD's in the discography section, you may want to create new pages for the DVD's (or extend the CD ones to include them).  I'm not sure which way it should be, but Huntster should know :) Snagor 08:05, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Personally, I believe that, since they have the same release dates and similar content etc, that on the main page the CDs and DVDs should be combined, and not include the Billboard/Sales ranks.  Let's leave the differentiation to the specific articles.  I've *got* to get to sleep, but I'll work on this when I have some free time tomorrow (err, if I have some free time...). -- Huntster T • @ • C 08:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

text: What do you think about changing to Orla and Órlagn to Órla Fallon everywhere since that's how she's credited on the latest CD.--Zina Vukin 20:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, I think she should definitely be credited as "Órla Fallon".  This is also used on the CW website, though strangely, not on her personal site (though I imagine that is so as to not confuse visitors trying to pronounce her name, or somesuch).  -- Huntster T • @ • C 22:29, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: As I understand it, her real name is Órlagh and her stage name is Órla because people were badly mispronouncing it.  Since her personal site appears to be down (we'll have to figure out which of the two sites is correct), this is the link to the discussion:  http://celticwomanforum.com/index.php?topic=90.0).  With that in mind I'm not sure which way it should be displayed on this page... Snagor 07:33, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I think definatelly go with Órla as that's how she titled her album as well. Now, there should be a note that explains the reason why the spelling is shortened, of course if we can find a proper quote. The reason why we should go with Órla is the same why Lisa went with Lisa Kelly as her 'stage spelling' instead of Laoise ní Cheallaigh. Let's face it how many of us non-Irish speaking people would know how to pronounce Laoise ní Cheallaigh? --Zina Vukin 22:03, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Good point.  That note, as you said if a ref can be found, would properly go on her personal article. -- Huntster T • @ • C 22:05, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Vocalists on each track 

message: Okay, so I've taken the liberty to remake the article.  Please take a look and let me know if you see any errors.  What I haven't included is information about the world tours.  While there needs to be some information, it doesn't need to be exhaustive (such as including detailed stop information or song listings), and I haven't found much in the way of verifiable data regarding them.  Otherwise, I'll begin working on the album articles next week, and will add what chart data that I can. -- Huntster T • @ • C 09:23, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think some info like kickoff/end dates (of the entire tour, not individual city engagements) would be useful. Also some info on any particularly notable tour performances like notable special guests, opening acts, or non-traditional venues. Wl219 00:39, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

text: That has been corrected as of April 2, 2010. The article was split in two. -micro  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.112.192.100 (talk) 00:56, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Reorg and Rewrite 

message: I created a footer template to make it easier to navigate around the pages. Hopefuly it makes it easier for someone else also. You can click on the links in the top left of the template to adjust it as necessary with new album releases and whatever else may need to be linked to on all pages of the group.

thread_title:  Created footer template 

message: Apart from the first 2 albums and 2 editions of the 3rd, are there any special editions, or DVDs with bonus CDs? Worldwide? --77.105.57.235 02:00, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Not that I've seen, and I don't believe their website lists any. -- Huntster T • @ • C 03:46, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Any special editions? 

message: Hayley Westenra has been listed as a former member of the group, but there is no source or citation to remove her from the current members. It makes sense that, since she came on board to alternate with Méav, and since Lynn Hilary has taken Méav's place, Hayley is no longer needed. But again, that is only speculation. Are there any official reports to confirm this?
I have not seen or heard any offical news of Hayley Westenas membership status on Celtic Woman,but I do know that Meav is no longer a Celtic Woman and her name should be moved to the "Former Members" list. Celticguy94 00:05, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Hayley is an unknown factor right now, but Meav is stated as taking an extended break. At least, that is how the news article on the site reads. -- Huntster T • @ • C 00:16, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Hayley Westenra's Membership Status 

message: On her offical website, she listed herself as 'formerly of Celtic Woman' and 'Méav has left Celtic Woman to focus on her solo career'. I'll move her to former member list.--Cahk 11:42, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for finding that.  I've updated the rest of the article accordingly. -- Huntster T • @ • C 23:14, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Méav Ní Mhaolchatha 

message: Can anyone provide info on the song the girls recorded with Anne Murray on her latest album (Duets: Friends & Legends)? I'm quite curious which of the girls made their appearance on the track Song for the Mira, originally written by Allister MacGillivray? --77.105.23.108 (talk) 21:55, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Song for the Mira 

message: This article currently specifies David Downes, but in articles such as this one  Sharon Browne gets the credit. -micro  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 174.112.192.100 (talk) 01:22, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hmm, that is curious. I'll look into this more over the next few days...your source is definitely more reliable than the existing sources for Downes, and to be honest, those sources should have never been used. — Huntster (t @ c) 07:49, 7 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I will try to find other articles to back this up, but I believe Browne was a producer on the original show and later the first U.S. tour.  In most of the interviews I've seen with the singers, they say that David Downes contacted them about being in the Helix show.  I believe there's also an interview with David where he talks about getting the idea for the show.  Depending on the aspect, I think it's safe to say that both had a part in the group's inception.

thread_title:  Who founded Celtic Woman? 

message: I took the liberty of adding two compilations to the "Discography" section. The first one, "An Irish Journey" was released in France in october 2011, and feature one new track, "The Water is Wide", sung by Lisa Kelly, Lisa Lambe, Chloe Agnew and Mairead Nesbitt, with the Bagad Lann Bihoué. The second, "A Celtic Christmas", will be released shortly (november 25th 2011) in Germany, and feature two new songs: "An Angel" and "There Must Be An Angel (Plying With My Heart)". It would also be interesting to list "A Celtic Family Christmas", which they did with The High Kings, but, as I don't know the release date, I didn't put it there. I also added "Believe", their newest album. Unfortunately, as the page for that new album doesn't exist right now (the page "Believe" is about the japanese compilation), it links there. Maybe someone who's better at this than me could make the necessary modifications ?
