    I am in love all over again. Both Loreena and Hayley complement this song. Both lovely women with lovely voices.

    I love this! I like how Hayley's arrangement has a different feel than Loreena's. Music isn't supposed to always stay the same. It's supposed to change with the performer. Both recordings are amazingly good.

    I agree with you, hayley is one of the most blessed singers in the world, but loreena is a GODDESS, no one in our life time will come close to her.

    @LadyRissa211 Very well put. I am so glad that Hayley covered this song because it has introduced many more people to the wonders of Loreena's music.

  • @texreb66

    I think this young lady has a true angelic voice. i just think that everyone is so comfortable with Loreena's masterpiece, that it would be hard for anyone to match it. I absolutely dig hayley's voice, but the country sound is what takes it away from me. adding a tin whistle could have kept in the celtic sound. Thumbs Up, Hayley. Now I have to listen to more of your music.

    @bayensmike 16 лет назад

    I totally agree.
    She has the rare voice which is able to stand al capella without getting boring.
    The songs written on her body as well.
    If youre a heavy metal fan, we then there simply is no base for comparing.

    Your right shortround4271, I just checked Amazon and in the Editorial Reviews section for Celtic Treasure [LIMITED COLLECTOR'S EDITION] it mentions The Mummer's Dance as the Bonus Track.

  • @glamourchick21
    @glamourchick21 15 лет назад +1

    Could not agree more! It's no fault of Hayley's, but Loreena is just so much more than a beautiful voice. She is natural, raw passion, and she lives and breathes every song she touches, turning it to gold. She is one of those truly rare talents.

    Chill out people, this is Hayley's interpretation, why would she want to duplicate the original? Great voice!

  • @shuboy05
    @shuboy05 15 лет назад

    From the track listings on Wikipedia, this song first appeared on the Japanese version of Odyssey so this must have been recorded during that period.

  • @glamourchick21
    @glamourchick21 15 лет назад

    I agree. Much as I love all the girls of Celtic Woman, they really shouldn't try to cover Loreena McKennitt. They're brilliant and talented, but Loreena really lives and breathes everything she sings and makes it absolutely come alive. Next to her, the Celtic Woman covers all sound like voice recitals.

    Yes I know Lorenna McKennit is the original artist. Her version is here on RUclips.

  • @bhogobanerbaba

    it would be unfair to compare it to the original,but this one has its own flavor.

  • @cvrnut09
    @cvrnut09 14 лет назад +1

    With the differences in style, I would not discount either Lorena or Hayley. They are both good and do justice to this song. The majors strength being their voice.

  • @2010zagadka
    @2010zagadka 12 лет назад

    I wonder what version of Treasure you have, because no versions contain The Mummers' Dance. It can be found on the collector's edition bonus CD of the New Zealand version of Pure and the Japanese version of Odyssey.

  • @folkmusicgirl
    @folkmusicgirl 16 лет назад

    Some people have commented that there is lack of instrumentation on Hayley's version of this song, but actually for me I feel sometimes less instrumentation is better.
    Sometimes a song can have too much instrumentation & can be distracting;taking away from the vocals with overpowering instrumentation/overproduction to a degree.I am one who does prefer less instrumentation on this song & nice to hear the lovely voice of Hayley.I am a Loreena fan & was fortunate to see her once in Los Angeles.

  • @TristanandIsolt

    @lapuriter Mummer's Dance is a Loreena McKennitt original. I am a huge fan and I have never heard anything about this song other than it being written by Loreena. If you have any proof for your claim please let me know.

  • @Lizfan2
    @Lizfan2 16 лет назад

    I like both the original version & Hayley's. Both have a beat & sound great. & to the person who said Enya's version comes close: Enya does not sing this song & never has, & I know because I have all of Enya's cds.

  • @TristanandIsolt
    @TristanandIsolt 14 лет назад

    @AdoreYouInAshXI Loreena is by far my favorite artist that ever lived but Hayley has a better voice. I still prefer Loreena's version to Hayley's because there is more to a performance than a great voice. You nailed it talking about Loreena's band. How she can get those fantastic performers together to tour with her is a tribute to Loreena as a person and to her musical genius.

  • @FireandSkye
    @FireandSkye 15 лет назад

    I found Loreena McKenitt through Hayley Westenra, listening to this song specifically. I can't really say I have a preference. I thought it was a cool song and decided I had to hear the original and found a new singer who is a harper as well.

  • @wolfbrother0
    @wolfbrother0 15 лет назад

    I'd love to hear them sing it together, I think that with Hayley's (well not to sure how to put it so i wont) and Loreena McKennitt's passion it would be better then the two apart.

  • @freefliercrash
    @freefliercrash 15 лет назад

    I like how there is less instrumentation in this version, but I like Loreena's version also.

  • @shuboy05
    @shuboy05 15 лет назад

    The chorus is where Hayley sounds closest to Loreena. However I have to agree Loreena makes this kind of song come alive. Still I love that Hayley is up for the challenge of matching Loreena.

  • @poopems

  • @carlotta4th
    @carlotta4th 15 лет назад

    Not necessarily. They have such different voice styles, they can't really be compared on the same level.
    But, yeah. Loreen's instrument version kicks this one to kingdom come. This one is just missing the "I can listen to this a billion times in a row and not be tired of it" feeling.

  • @sgtcrab1
    @sgtcrab1 15 лет назад

    @Delgift Fair comment. Westenra is somewhat more "classical" Great singer. I especially like her treatments of Pokarekare Ana. L McK is somehow earthier I think.

  • @elisatolle111
    @elisatolle111 13 лет назад

    @KimyaEn I also agree with you, might just be the fact that she can't have had as much of a connection with the song. Coming from her it just sounds like pretty words :/

  • @nerooren
    @nerooren 16 лет назад

    If you listen to the original, it sound's like she is doing her best to imitate the vocals. I actually like it, but its a matter of taste. I honestly prefer Hayley's voice to Loreena's but both versions are fantastic...I have them both on one CD.

  • @AZLionheart312
    @AZLionheart312 14 лет назад

    Hayley Westenra sings this well, but it feels empty without the musical accompaniment in Loreena McKennitt's version.

  • @vesoo86
    @vesoo86 17 лет назад

    Hayley has a really amazing voice and I like all her songs but Loreena McKennitt's "The Mummer's Dance" sounds way better

  • @AdoreYouInAshXI
    @AdoreYouInAshXI 15 лет назад

    On another note, Hayley did an ok job on the song but Lorennas version is much better.
    Not just her voice but no one can top Lorennas band.. they play musical instruments like a mad genius.

  • @JamesCarnmal
    @JamesCarnmal 13 лет назад

    One of the best songs I've ever heard, but I prefer Loreena's version better. But of course no offense! Hayley sings this song with such a voice that is undescribeable who, Loreena has as well!

  • @MimoWimo1

    I know, but Loreena's version of it is better is what I'm saying. :)

    I absolutely love this song and Hayley's voice (it's gorgeous), but this made me bored. Loreena's original fully embodies the spirit of the festival she's singing about, all the wildness and fire.

  • @sgtcrab1

    do you think? THe instrumentation , hurdy gurdy and such give it the feel of its time. Haley is a decent singer but not up to Loreena in my view

  • @asit1
    @asit1 15 лет назад

    Hayley is a great singer with great power and range, but this is Loreena's song, so covering her makes Hayley look kind of a cover artist.... Hayley could do much better if she made her own songs...

  • @hiruyori
    @hiruyori 16 лет назад

    She has a beautiful voice, but I tend to agree with a previous commenter - she just seems a bit flat. Especially compared to Loreena, who is so passionate.

  • @kessragnell
    @kessragnell 15 лет назад

    Im sorry, but I feel that she took the "essence" out of the original song. She has a beautiful voice, sure, but the song was meant to be a folk-loire Irish soul song. This is most certainly not it.

  • @robbil711
