OT Watched "Celtic Thunder" last night on PBS

It was kind of like a train wreck, DH and I couldn't look away even though we couldn't believe we were watching it.

It's this group of Irish singers, all totally hot guys, accompanied by equally hot female fiddlers. They sing some Celtic music but also a lot of "classics" - Singing in the Rain, Beach Boys, U2, The Proclaimers, Michael Bublé, etc. All with this strange "River Dance" vibe, very dramatic.

It was one of the strangest things I've ever seen (but the huge crowd they were playing for was going wild ). Mind you, the guys were excessively good looking and had amazing voices.

Anyone ever seen/heard of these guys?

I have......

heard of them....along with the Celtic Women (which I have a couple of songs of their's downloaded on my Itouch). I love their singing and recently caught a few minutes of a song (duet) that I loved. Dan (husband) was so taken with the woman's voice (he was a sound person for Jimmy Buffett for years) and I was just in awe of the guy singer. Not only was he handsome, his voice was stunning.

I have not watched all of it.....one of these days I will!

It was just very strange...

I suppose if you like River Dance, then you wouldn't find it a train wreck. I found it extremely "hokey" and overly dramatic. The set looked like the remnants of a Walmart Garden Center (including what looked like a white plastic fountain). The grand finale involved the five leads singing a rousing anthem to Irish, wearing kilts, banging on their chests, and a huge Irish flag waving in the background... The ultimate St. Patrick's Day moment.

But, like I said, the guys had amazing voices and were totally hot (and they did look mighty fine in their kilts at the end). Plenty of talent, just a strange show...

P.S. I apologize in advance to any River Dance or Celtic Thunder fans (no disrespect intended!) happy.gif

What made it a train wreck?

I've never seen them, but I do like totally hot guys.

Woof!
