DVD : The Celtic Tiger Starring Michael Flatley |
- An Irish History in music.Michael Flatley has done it again. With the flavor of "River Dance" and Lord of the Dance" he goes on to show the history, struggles, and success of Ireland in music. If you know a bit of Irish history you will see the story unfold in an enjoyable and foot tapping way, that makes you think at the same time.

If you like Irish Dance and Excitement this DVD is a must purchase. It is absolutely fantastic and non stop dancing, singing and a good story line of the history of the Irish struggles and the Irish making it in America. It is a sexy show for sure and a lot of beautiful people, costumes and props. Very exciting, I would say. My daughter has been an Irish dancer for many years and the dancing in this DVD is just spectacular. There is a scene where a young lady flies over from Ireland and she changes in America and it is symbolized by her doing a striptease down to a patriotic two piece bathing suit. Any red blooded man would find it very exiting. It is clear that Michael did not want to hamper what he wanted to do with the show by making it fully for kids. He aims it at an adult audience. I would let any of my kids see it however. If the one scene bothers someone a little they can fast forward it. This show is pure excitement. It is very stylish and sexy at times. If I had a teenage daughter, I would let her see it and I am sure teens see a lot more than this on MTV. Great traditional songs such as Four green fields, A Nation Once Again, Wearing of the Green (I think?) and several others. Don't listen to any critics buy it and judge for yourself. I almost did not buy it due to some critics I read. I understood the story line her better than any of the other shows Riverdance etc. The dancing was just incredible and the grand finale was mind boggling good and the grandest of any of them.

- I've never laughed so hard in my lifeMichael, Michael, Michael -- what in the hell went wrong with you when you decided to put a show like this together?. I can understand the idea of bringing in new dance forms for experimentation purposes. But the product that came out from this vision was absolutley ridiculous. For one I dont think it says much for "lady liberty" to do a strip tease and for two for Ireland to become the "celtic kitten". With 100% emphasis on sexuality -- this show is 100% horrible. I would never suggest this on anyone. And I think that Michael Flatley should hang up the shoes now and let a new handsome idiot take his place. In conclusion -- this show annoyed the hell out of me and I cannot believe that he even produced such a product.

- LackingNowhere as good as Riverdance! Dancers did good, but there was no indication of the link between parts. A commentator would have helped.

- 'Celtic Tiger' is a fantastic show - what's wrong with everyone?I can't agree with all the knockers rubbishing Celtic Tiger. I purchased my DVD from Amazon in March, and sat down to watch it without any prior knowledge of what it would be like. I thought it was brilliant - the music by Ronan Hardiman is amazing and just gets better each time, and Michael Flatley was his usual talented and charismatic self. He was 47 years old when he did that show so that's why he didn't dance all the time. I have since watched this DVD about four or five times and each time I enjoy it more. I just loved the Viking music with the boats and contrary to other people's opinions, I thought the strip scene was very colourful. I thought it was great when Michael came on with the other pilots to greet the 'stewardess'and looked over the top of his sunglasses.It was a bit of fun, showing the contrast to the old Ireland and then the new life in the USA. The Redcoats scene was very moving, especially when it showed the poor people being cast out of their homes. The big screen with all the images was very well done. Nobody's mentioned the flute played by Michael during that beautiful dance scene. People can't expect this show to be another LOTD or Feet of Flames. I loved every one of Michael's creations and I say - well done, Michael (dancer and choreographer) and well done, Ronan (composer).
