I wish I knew the term for what she’s doing. It’s not lilting, it’s not keening or any Irish vocal tradition. It’s almost as if she’s running out of breath but…. She’s not. But yeah I know what you mean those little quirky cutoffs from the note, she’s always doing it. 99% of singers would sound terrible trying to do that.
PEOPLE listen carefully how Dolores voice is so powerful and in tune, she is incredibly perfect and absolutely personal when she sings Nothing Else Matter....this video it's a special proof of her talent which she always kept as humble as possible but she is so stunning!!
The beautiful Dolores, is no longer with us, although she will never be forgotten. She will always be remembered as the biggest female Irish singer in all of music. A standout act at Woodstock 94, she had the integrity to rip up a one million dollar advance, after she was told to not sing Zombie, and to only do Love Songs. She was a rebel, and although it was unfortunate that her career was declining by the end, as was her mental state, she will always be remembered as that colorful beautiful little Irish women from Limerick, with an incredibly diverse vocal ability that all aspiring singers should be envious of.
I miss Dolores and her beautiful light and spirit. Her voice was just incredible. The Cranberies were working on an album when she crossed over, In The End was released with the vocal tracks Dolores had finished. It's a great album and literally saved my life.
Between Dolores's Personality and singing voice she manages to make me smile even when I have a really shitty day RIP Celtic Limerick Lady. You are truly missed
There will never be another Dolores O'riordan, she sung with such a passion and strong Limerick accent. I hope you're resting easy, thanks for all the music.
Monday 15/01/2018 : I can't believe this news today I can't close my eyes and make it go away How long must we cry this way Cause today Dolores is gone... Monday Sadly Monday Monday Sadly Monday
this has made my day, my most favourite female artist choosing my most fave song of all time of my most favourite band... wow it gave me goosebumps watching this clip! I LOVE Dolores :)
Yeah, I was surprised as well. But seems like times changed and Metallica is not played that often any more, nor radio is being turned on that often any more. :)
I've traveled Europe twice in my life. I've been through the Baltics, touched Eastern Europe and explored Central Europe. I've lived in Denmark, England and Ireland for a bit. The point is not to brag, but to illustrate my experience when I say that no where else does this continent have an entire country that can sing, dance, and exude general folk talent in EVERY common citizen as readily as Ireland. They have an amazing talent for music. It wouldn't surprise me one bit if Dolores was never trained in singing.
I speak one language (not very well at that), and have been literally nowhere, so a question if I may? How the Fuck do you train an ORIGINAL! Its rhetorical of course.
Hey MB, the good news is that they settled their differences and went back together to record the new album which is due out tomorrow. Greetings from Ireland
