How dare you!! I have both Irish and Scot connections!!! I also wear the Black Watch Tartan, and with PRIDE. Because of one fool, condem all of us here in the U.S. then P-SS OFF! I enjoy Celtic Thunder and respect their heritage. So a PIECE of ADVICE, keep your words soft and sweet, for you never know when you'll have to EAT THEM!
It feels my heart with pride to see Celts united instead of divided. Scottish, Irish, or Welsh, all Celts need to stand together as one people and one magnificent but diverse culture. And a pox on any Celt who raises a weapon against another.
4 of them are from Ireland and one is from Scotland. They are Celtic because it runs in their veins. They don't have "American" accents, have you heard them talk? They live in Ireland and Scotland. This version has just as much passion as Amy MacDonalds's version because GEORGE. IS, SCOTTISH. I'm sorry if I'm coming off as rude, you people just aren't taking the time to really watch these guys. They have so much heart & passion, I just can't see how someone misses it.
ahh now our damian is 20 *gets tears in her eyes* he's been my true love since i was a freshman in high school i watched him grow and I grew up as well and in still love him hahha "it's so cold people." love damian
I agree with Jcroz, , it was freezin' that day, they did a great job outside with this......I LOVE this version.....you can hear their natural voices clearly. LOVE IT! :)
Well met! It's one of my favourite songs -- and they do it rather well, indeed; but yes, Lisa Kelly did the song extreme justice! I can imagine a very pleased Dougie MacLean. This song wells tears in my eyes at the mere playing of it, anyway, but, this year, they're using this song for the ad campaign for Homecoming 2009. If I don't make it this year, I shall shed tears three times more at the mere introduction music!
The enthusiasm is great! These guys make all they are doing look fun. I would rather have them singing outside and not studio perfect, than sounding perfect and lip syncing. It takes a man very secure in his masculinity to wear a kilt, and they do justice to them. They are the best!
JLward. The DVD was rehearsed, and edited and shot over 2 days. I have heard both Ryan and George sing in person and they do sound like that live. On the DVD they had time to perfect the song. They are NOT lip Synching. If you look up the song Lauren and I from the Glasgowbury Festival, you'll hear a totally different version of the song but it's still Keith's voice.
I love this song. It is so funny to watch them start laughing in the middle of the song. They are so funny lol. They look like they are having a blast. †
I the Celtic Woman version first and though Lisa will ALWAYS be my favorite singer for all time, I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this version too. Celtic Thunder is awesome! I love their version of Danny Boy as well.
Matter of fact, members of Celtic Thunder show up occasionally and chat with everyone. Very approachable fellas and a very cool site. I highly recommend it. You'll learn a lot about the guys, the project and the people who love them. Also, all of them have MySpace pages except Damian (I think his parents won't let him have one just yet for his protection) and they're very cool about adding friends. As I said earlier, these guys are gonna be HUGE!!! Cheers, everyone!
they are A-mazing! but i wish that all their songs didn't seem like they're at the same tempo. but that just might me me. i now have a new crush!!:) Damian--you are MINDBLOWING!!
To say that they lack heart and passion and soul proves you have not taken the time to really watch these men while singing and performing. They have more heart, soul, passion then HALF of those stupid teenyboppers singers today. They sing about real life, real things that men go through. Not about smoking, drinking, doing drugs and other crap that's "popular" today. I couldn't think of a BETTER group to sing this. They have more heart, soul and passion combined then anyone I've ever heard.
Though I do agree with you on most of what you said, St. Patrick was scottish no? Maybe I have that mixed up and the other way around. No matter, it is a beautiful song, and Scotland and Ireland are both beautiful places, with VERY amazing and facinating backgrounds, so l see no reason to rejoice in them together! :]
As for the poster of this and other great CT videos, it's Lasarahliz. You can chit chat with her, too, on CT's official site. Her name their is LA_Sarah_Liz. She's probably one of the biggest fans and certainly one of the most knowledgable. Cheers!
@jlmww if you didn't know they do that for al of the parade take the thanksgivng day parade the singers stop right in front of macy's to sing the parade stops then when they are finished, the parade starts again
Caledonia is the Latin name given by the Roman Empire to a northern area of the island of Great Britain. The name represents that of a Pictish tribe, the 'Caledonii', one amongst several in the region, though perhaps the dominant tribe. The modern use of 'Caledonia' in English and Scots is as a romantic or poetic name for Scotland. 'Scotland' itself is derived from Scotia, the Latin term for Ireland, from which the Scoti peoples originated before resettling in northern Great Britain.
The eldest, George Donaldson, is a Scotsman, and the Scots and the Irish are more closely related than most people think. The very name Scotland in fact came from Ireland. About 500 A.D., Celts from the Scotia region of Ireland invaded what was once called Alba (Caledonia by the Romans) and inhabited by Pictish Celts. About 843 A.D., Kenneth mac Alpin united both Celtic groups - Picts and Scots - and the land came to be called Scotland.
So, if you all hate this version so much and think it sucked so bad why do you keep commenting on it? The people who love this will outweigh you who feel the need to say how bad they suck. Just so you're aware. CELTIC THUNDER IS AMAZING! :DD :D :D
@gnostical We are an oral history, now as then, no matter how many scholars record on paper. Dougie says, in Caledonia, what every Scot feels at some point when in a foreign land, and mny of the Children of the Exiles I have met who have never set foot in Scotland. Our poets, singers, story tellers and perhaps most important, 400 years of mothers rocking babies and sining have kept our culture alive. The Gaelic will outlive me and people around the globe are learning.
"I don't know, if you can see, the freaking car that almost ran over me..." Although the sound production for the tv audio left a little to be desired, but the boys got the job done. This group is going to be big.
All of them are so amazing!! I love ALL Of them! I want to start dating Irish guys..Does anyone know any good places in manhattan where I can meet Irish men? These 5 boys are like the sweetest candies!!!
Be there if I didn't have to work. The network that is blessed to broadcast this better hope their hosts are a little more in atune to What is actually going on, and what is means to people. I felt last years broadcast was very disreseptful, Change Hosts would make us proud. This is our time.
The kilt is the Scottish traditional dress. I don't know the origin of the band but Caledonia is one of the most famous/well known Scottish songs and Celtic is supposed to comprise both Scottish and Irish cultures.
For Celtic Thunder videos, i think they should NOT have a dislike button (like if you agree)
Absolutely beautiful ❣️ Thank you. 3:04 Greetings from Missouri. Ciao 😂08/2024 ❤.
I dont care where they come from...Ireland, Scotland. They are just fantastic and handsome as hell
R.I.P George Donaldson I like this song Caledonia so beautiful with group just perfect wow
How dare you!! I have both Irish and Scot connections!!! I also wear the Black Watch Tartan, and with PRIDE. Because of one fool, condem all of us here in the U.S. then P-SS OFF! I enjoy Celtic Thunder and respect their heritage. So a PIECE of ADVICE, keep your words soft and sweet, for you never know when you'll have to EAT THEM!
His name is Paul Byrom. Look him up, he has the most stunning voice.
I love keith's harmony voice. George's voice hold the melody well. This is beautiful.

Celtic Thunder is AMAZING IN MANY WAYS!!!! don't listen to it too much...otherwise u become addicted...!!! lol
It feels my heart with pride to see Celts united instead of divided. Scottish, Irish, or Welsh, all Celts need to stand together as one people and one magnificent but diverse culture. And a pox on any Celt who raises a weapon against another.
This song always makes me smile :)

They did that this year.

they are A-mazing! but i wish that all their songs didn't seem like they're at the same tempo. but that just might me me. i now have a new crush!!:) Damian--you are MINDBLOWING!!

Are they sewriously singing this on St. Patricks day? Bizarre!
I love the old ladies that wave in the background
Celtic Woman and Celtic Thunder should pair up for every song that's ever existed...
This is lovely. :-)
i love damian laugh!
hes sooo cute! i love him!
Considering the conditions it sounded great.Cant wait to see the live show.Why are there only two shows at Radio City???..
Can't say I care much for this arrangement. Still, good for Dougie MacLean to get the royalties, he certainly deserves every penny.
-jcr
okay, thank you

i love that little laught that damian let out when keith and paul were trying to excite the crowd

Keith can carry me away, he is fine!
Ditto to that!
I just want to know why Irish people are singing about Scotland. Wouldn't they sing about Ireland? It sounds amazing either way! Especially Keith
Note at the end that one of them says "it's so cold people." I expect that is why they don't sound relaxed...they are freezing!
ITS SO COLD PEOPLE!that was so cute on damians part!
2:49 Damian's adorable laugh lol!
@jlmww if you didn't know they do that for al of the parade take the thanksgivng day parade the singers stop right in front of macy's to sing the parade stops then when they are finished, the parade starts again
