Celtic Woman Chloe Needs Your Support On Facebook!

Let me throw out some Celtic Woman statistics for you to ponder for a minute.

Cumulatively, albums from Celtic Woman have sold over 50 million records worldwide, making it one of the all-time most commercially successful musical acts in history. "Celtic Woman", which was filmed at The Helix, Dublin, Ireland on September 15th, 2004 for PBS reached #1 on Billboard's World Music Chart within weeks. The album held the #1 position on the charts for 81 weeks total, shattering the previous record held by Andrea Bocelli.

Their second album, Celtic Woman: A Christmas Celebration knocked their first album to the #2 spot on the World Music Chart. They bested themselves, in essence.

"A New Journey"  (December 2006) was released on January 30th, 2007, simultaneously accompanied by the live performance DVD. The album immediately hit the Billboard 200 at #4 and the Billboard World chart at #1, bumping their first two releases down a notch. Celtic Woman secured the top three spots on the Billboard World at that time, a freakish accomplishment which may never be duplicated again. All in all, the Multi-Platinum Irish sensations have sold more than 50 million albums worldwide to date.

So Fans, Show Celtic Woman Chloe Some Love!

The reason I ran the numbers for you, as it regards the group's success to date, is to motivate you a little bit. You see, the group is now extremely active on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and YouTube. In my opinion they do not have the fan support/following that they so rightfully deserve on these social networks, even though networking is a recent addition to the group's repertoire.

Chloe Agnew is the Celtic Woman I wish to focus on in this post. Chloe has a fan page on Facebook (which I am a member of) and she interacts with the fans on a daily basis. The other day I visited her page just to say "Hi", and much to my surprise, I read one of her latest entries which read... 

Chloe says " going to 4000 fan, maybe 5000 soon :). "

Celtic Woman supporters, where are you? Chloe Agnew - one of the original members of the ensemble, one of the premier female vocalists in all the world, smart as a whip, and a super cool and hip girl who bubbles with personality - hopes for 5000 Facebook Fans soon. Should she really have to wish for a measly 5000 fans on her Facebook Page? I mean, a girl this successful and talented should be more worried about crashing the Facebook servers because she has so many fans! (Bear in mind though, her page is new so 5000 fans in the blink of an eye is not too shabby.)



If you are reading this post, then obviously you are a Celtic Woman fan right? Chloe is adored, I think we can all agree on that. Please show her some love and join her over at her Facebook Fan Page. Let's try to crash the servers - a couple million fans in a few months should do the trick!

Now Playing - The Official Celtic Woman YouTube Channel

Chances are you have seen just about every Celtic Woman performance imaginable on YouTube, particularly those acts from juggernaut "A New Journey". If you're anything like me, the two questions you asked yourself were "Who Uploaded This Video? Was it Celtic Woman themselves?" Up until recently, the answer to these questions was most likely "No".

I have some very good news for all Celic Woman lovers and fans. The group is now live on YouTube with their official video channel! You can take a look at the Official Celtic Woman YouTube Channel and easily conclude, as I did, it is utterly professional. There is surely no doubt, this is the real deal CW video channel on YouTube. No knock-offs here.

The channel has over 1100 fans, over 50 friends, tons of comments, and many new videos from "Songs From The Heart". There is also a brand new video of the group performing "Carol of the Bells" at the White House
for the National Tree Lighting Ceremony.

Lyrics To "The Voice" ( Lisa Kelly, They Are Passionately Calling Out Your Name!)

If you have not had the honor and pleasure of attending a Celtic Woman show yet, then you might be unaware of the fact that Lisa Kelly is worshiped by her fans. Enthusiastic audience members literally chant "Lisa, Lisa, Lisa..." most any time she appears onstage. There is one song in particular though which, in the eyes of the millions of loyal Celtic Woman fans, steals the show. Can you guess which one it is? Let me give you a little hint - do a YouTube search for keyword "Celtic Woman". If you guessed "The Voice", you nailed it!

It is really no surprise that the YouTube video of "The Voice" has nearly double the views of any other Celtic Woman video on the site (with the exception of "Ave Maria", performed by the amazingly talented Chloe Agnew) - as I said, Lisa is adored. Common sense might indicate that a popular follow up search to the video would be "Celtic Woman The Voice Lyrics", don't you think? Indeed, this is one of the top searches currently, related to the keyword Celtic Woman. Here is the graph for you to see for yourself.

Let's have a look at the lyrics to the phenom that is...

"The Voice"

I hear your voice on the wind
And I hear you call out my name

"Listen, my child," you say to me
"I am the voice of your history
Be not afraid, come follow me
Answer my call, and I'll set you free"

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice, I will remain

I am the voice in the fields when the summer's gone
The dance of the leaves when the autumn winds blow
Ne'er do I sleep thoughout all the cold winter long
I am the force that in springtime will grow

I am the voice of the past that will always be
Filled with my sorrow and blood in my fields
I am the voice of the future, bring me your peace
Bring me your peace, and my wounds, they will heal

I am the voice in the wind and the pouring rain
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice that always is calling you
I am the voice

I am the voice of the past that will always be
I am the voice of your hunger and pain
I am the voice of the future
I am the voice, I am the voice
I am the voice, I am the voice
