Jean Butler has never been topped in this role. Ever.
I love that this dance will allow anyone to dance it. In a lot of dance styles that I have observed, many of the dancers are usually younger than thirty. Still, at :53, you can see that there is one lady that looks to be older than all the others, and she's still dancing with the best of the best! WOOT!
Im Irish American and this stuff makes me so proud of my ancestry. I think Ireland should always be in the Hearts of all Irishman and Irish Americans. Ireland will always be our home.
amen love my Irish heritage
So are you American or Irish? You cannot be both.
@@happyolddude I get so fed up with Americans who think they're Irish just because their grandparents went over to the USA to escape the potato famine. I'm Irish (Dublin) but I can't say I'm really proud of being so, Dublin these days is a kip, full of undesirables.
Personally I don't care whether its Jean or Joanne as the lead. I just love to see the dance. Period. :)
Amy is now the new "Riverdance queen"! She's heads and shoulders even over those two!
@@johnskelton1117 shes great and that red hair cant get more irish than that!!
Joanne is my favorite..
Joanne is good too, but no one comparable to Jean really !! The 1995 version with Michael and Jean was pure magic !!
+ANDU REN Yep, she's good but still no Jean Butler...
I love Riverdance! And the Countess Cathleen is such a wonderful story!
have you read the play its based on?
I agree with you. The 1995 version is pure magic and remains the best.
Joanne wins hands down over Jean! But both are brilliant dancers!
WOW, so powerfull, so amazingly good. I just love it. These people are great at what they are doing. This dance is brilliant, the expressions on the faces of the dancers is great.
Just lovely!
Riverdance, YOU ROCK!!!
the girls; that lightness!
Joanne Doyle , charming.
Joanne is such an elegant and graceful dancer and lovely person. I was fortunate enough to meet her after one of the shows. Great video. :)
The footwork is excellent omg :')
2:40 always loved that whistle part.
With Jean, instead, I see a brave, proud and independent woman, secure of herself, who is intelligent enough to know when is the right opportunity to wait and when to strike. And whose friends gather themselves to help her out of friendship and loyalty, and march with pride along. Finally when her friends are getting hurt, she tell them to back off and keep themselves safe, she can handle it alone. And she does, with her honour intact.
@laddibugg88
I agree, Jean cant be replaced but for this song I prefer Joanne's performance: she did capture that challenging, fierce and independant escence which I think Jean couldnt achieve by dancing to this song. Sorry for my bad english by the way.
That's, at least, the impression I got.
Resuming all the blah blah from my other comments: I really see Jean more apt for this role, I think she was able to show the force and bravery of Irish women that this dance tried to represent.
Wow, this video is 13 years old already! What a year 2022 is turning out to be. God bless everyone.
Joanna Doyle dances like a Ballerina!
I love you Katie-did❤
Love this tune :) The lead is brilliant dancer
Love this dance but prefer Jean doing it. She was and is incomparable.
Jean butler casts a spell. It’s not explainable.
Te llega la música y el baile, al fondo del alma y el espíritu, gracias
Love Riverdance
I don't care for the color of the dresses but the dance is still as AMAZING as ever.
Im learning this dance ,.. it's just a bit different , I love Irish dancing
Хорошее видео! Спасибо!
Привет из России!
Желаю всего хорошего и здоровья!
Yep :) when I danced to it I found it harder to count to because of the rhythm, but its still a regular slip jig count and its beautiful
Im learning this dance ! :) I love making music with my feet , :)
Good for you, IrishDancerGermany!!!!
I have absolutely no problem with men standing up and defending women. That's wonderful. However, if a woman is being harmed by a man, is she just supposed to sit there and say "oh, another man will come along soon. I shouldn't do anything about this." Sooner or later she needs to know that she has the power to take care of herself too.
Joanne numero uno
Jean Butler in my opinion has ALWAYSS been the best :)
I wish i carried on with my Irish Dancing x
Oh well :).. i used to know the stepps :)
We irish rock ;P
DuckeyyToast x
this is by far my fave dance the tune is class
I like te riverdance it´s amazing
Interesting point, Jean looks more confident and sharp, but i think Joanne seems more agressive and fierce. Different performances indeed.
Incredible!
Jean Butler hands-down.
Absolutely Stunning !
This Takes Great Talent and Stamina !
5*****
In My Favs
Thanks for sharing
Keep Smiling
I agree about the majority of the Riverdance tapping being simple, but a lot faster and in sync. My teacher taught us the 'V' that they did in the finale and a bit of reel around the sun (the part where they start moving around the stage).
I'm good with all the tapping that takes place on the ground, but as for the clicks and all that, I don't quite bend that way...yet xD
Awww... *hug* You're right. =)
Awesome!!!!!
flawless ! like broadway should be. such a good show. like ... Riverdance.
I used do Irish dancing
Para mí Joanne Doyle es la mejor sín dudas
I remember watching this when I was 5. Its still my favorite dance video. I have the video right with me but the VCR won't work :c
i wish i could dance like that!
0:47..how can they stan so high up in demi pointe??? I wish I could do that
New w👁rld
New l☝️fe
🖖🅰️🔷️👍
@buddygirl06 the first song is women of the sidhe, pronounced, I think, "shee". The second one is the countess cathleen.
Elle est belle et talentueuse, mais impossible d'égaler Jean Butler qui est indiscutablement la meilleur , elle représente a elle seule L'irlande avec sa superbe beauté et ses traditions .
2:30 Like being in a nightclub and there's a bunch of guys who can't take a hint and keep harassing you, 3:17 and then here comes your girl squad to back you up!
I know the feeling. I call in my man squad when I get hit on by the ladies
Im Irish Dancing gibt es Softshoe- und Hardshoetänze. Softshoe - "das Gehppel" ist die Grundlage für JEDEN Irish Dancer. Hardshoe lernt man erst wenn man die Grundlagen im Softshoe "gut" beherrscht.
Softshoe:
Reel, Light Jig, Slip Jig und Single Jig
Hardshoe:
Treble Jig, Hornpipe, Set Dances und Treble Reel.
yeah when i was little i had no ideaa what it was too lolz
@skattynatty8 I still think the original with Jean and Michael (as arrogant as he apparently is) is still the best. There may have been better dancer since them as far as technicalitly, but no one (that I've seen) has had more stage presense than those two. They command it, and I think that's part of why the original was so exciting.
Marry me Joanne. Marry me.
i hav this dvd its called "riverdance live from geneva"
u should get it :-)
This might be because I don't have a history with Irish dance and therefore am unbiased, but after watching both this and the 1995 version I've got to say that this version is just a better overall performance. The aesthetics, the precision, the theatrics... Perhaps Joanne isn't as much of an icon or even a worse performer than Jean (some would say), but at least the set-up and the background dancers in this version I believe made for a more engaging experience.
1996 New York performance is the best overall I agree if we compare this one to the 1995`s performance.
some people come with so much mental baggage that they see the glass "half empty" instead of "half full"
...but thanks for your comment...and come visit the USA
3:08: Shots, shots, shots shots shots shots (EVERYBODY). Had to be said
3:00 best part ;D
I LOVE this dance. Anyone know what the meaning is? Is it women challenging the power of men?
That isn't political. It's a dance that interprets the historical themes of Ireland. The battle between the sexes is a major theme in Irish mythology and lore, for example the rivalry between Cuchulainn and Queen Maeve, or the defiance of Grannia against King Finn. Ancient Ireland was a matriarchal society; It's part of our history and our lore. I was in Riverdance, I should know. Maybe you should educate yourself before opening your mouth and demonstrating your ignorance.
Your english is not bad :)
i dont think this is bad, defintily not as great as the one dublin but certainily not the worst ive seen. I actually real like the lead female in this. and i like this versionh of riverdance a lot, theres a lot more dancing and music thats really great
I think the problem isn't the color of the dress, but the color balance of the video. You might notice that their faces look rather orange.
-jcr
@hermionefan3 but I dont think either one of them are as good as Aislinn Ryan the newest girl to play the part. Check out Live from Bejin DVD. Shes amazing. Like dancing on water
Lol, I wanted to say that but the comments had been disabled. ..
je veux savoir comment je peut avoir cette music svp
Is it just me, or does Joanne look like Princess Diana with longer hair?
このパート音楽もダンスもお気に入りで毎回見入ってしまうのだけど、どうしても途中の「シャッシッシャッシュッショッ」で日本語変換されてしまうのよな…
Is the whole soft shoe part slip jig?
This can't even compare to the 95 version with Micheal Flatly. Plus you can't even tell what the russian dancers are doing half the time because the lighting is so bad.
Would you agree that the majority of tapping in Riverdance are fairly simple moves, only faster and in sync?
I've tried without any training and I can only manage maybe two or three of the basic tapping moves. But I read that someone thought the girls were anorexic. ROFL! They obviously don't understand how much muscle this burns.
OMG O:
And why in all blazes would you ever imagine that I would ask for or want someone like you to come to my defense in the first place?
@caitymurphy i hope you've learned that this was choreographed by someone else before she probably even thought about being on this show.
Not as good as the 1995 version at the point theatre-that will always be the best to me.
I don't see anything political in the description...
ЙА.. СВА. МИР. ЗА.. ЧЕТВЁРКУ.. МЫ.. ПОКАТИЛЛО. ВАСИЛЬЕВА. ДАНИЛОВ. КОМАРОВ.. ОЛЕКСАНДРОВ.. 22.5..
@cameronthomasfan549 Heh, I actually think it's the dancer. Check out watch?v=CqQvUZ9SdhQ
Dunno what year, but same dancer, slightly different choreography, different costume (which I like better; she looks stunning in that purple), and I like it so much better than the rest simply because of Jean's stage presence, which has increased since the original. Joanne's a lovely dancer, but she hasn't got that regal, slightly ethereal aura that Jean had and which was perfect for this dance.
@jenchapple89 no it is from an old myth. PM me and I can give you more info
looks like prancing antelope lol
I differ. All I see in Joanne's performance is an innocent, shy girl, who gets scared and runs for help, only felling brave enough when is surrounded by an amount of companions than surpasses the number of foes. And only then, when her women failed, she gets a temper tantrum and finally fights her fight.
Joanne > Jean.
Acutally, Irish dance is far more than "fast movements." Anyone who has ever taken Irish dance knows that the most important thing is to stay on beat. Soft shoe music does not allow for fast feet movements AND soft shoe is NOT fast feet movements. It's about elegance and grace. There are moves in soft shoe that require hang time - staying in the air. Please don't confuse hard shoe with soft shoe and then insult one of the best Irish dancers, who wouldn't be in the Riverdance if she was not good.
i agree, great dancer. but should brush up on performance
I think Joanne is the best Countess. Most of my reason comes from the end of this dance - where she is driving off the men. Jean kind of stomps them away, Joanne looks like she's actually fighting them, and driving them away. Way more believable for me at least. That and Joanne smiles and looks like she enjoys dancing. Jean was good, but Joanne was better.
@jenchapple89 I always associated it with fairies mating season to be honest. I'm not sure if that's the meaning but its as if the men are fighting over the women.
i really dislike these costumes, the ones from 1995 were so feminine and pretty, especially jean's, and joanne's costume looks like they ordered it from a halloween shop under the category "sexy teen witch" or something
I think Jean Butler better than Joanne Doyle.
Give credit to whom it belongs: Michael Flatly.
Please do proper research. So many people have a completely wrong impression of that arrogant egomaniac
ты опозорился.
