Here are the opening lines:
Oh Danny Boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling
From glen to glen, and down the mountainside.
The summer's gone, and all the flowers are dying.
'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide.
But come ye back when summer's in the meadow
Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow,
For I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow.
Oh Danny Boy, oh Danny Boy, I love you so.

it is not nice...& ii don't like it
erm..they r from choir..
n their voice r strong n sound very light..i somehow like the tune of it..
the song ok lar. but not nice. for old people
nice bt too smooth
ok lahhs ..but not suitable for my age .. more suitable for older peeps .. cher is like talking .. king singer is quite good .. Andy william singing solo is also quite nice .. xP
atrocious
nice melody in a slow rhythm.
they sing together cooperatively and this results in the hamonious sound they produce.
i like the version done by king singers.their harmonious voices are a plaesure to the ears.i also like the combination with all the different voices together.the version done by andy williams is more deep and manly voice.i prefer king singers version though
i like the kings singers version alot as there are differenet voices with the base and suprano.The andy williams is more deep and has a manly voice it is also stronger but I still like the king singers version
hmms.. the music is quite nice but quite hard to understand. but for people like me hor, dont know how to appreciate derh. ahahas. xD
THEIR voice ish veri clear...
they do not pull e note ....
NICE ~~~
ermms..nOthing much tuu sae...it is mOre sUitable for elder ppl..=.=/
the song sounds very calm..but i dont quite understand the meaning behind it perharps they would try nt to drag the words
the song is relaxing
the song sang by the Kings singers is much nicer then the Cher's version
the song is very harmonious
it is in tune and it is very coordinated
King singer is a quite calming music/song which doesn't include much intrumental background,about half of the singers do background music most of the time. As for Andy
William's solo song is quite nice as it includes instrumental music background which is easily blending into his tone of voice.nice but not my type of music
the song was qiute nice.
king's singer's version has harmony as the different sings can sing different parts.
cher's was nice,but with not much harmony.
gorge's sole using guitar was a good choice of instrument,as guitar suits very well to the song.
andy's version was the best of all. has sung it very well with the right tempo,ryhtm and melody.
i had listen to [a]and [b].the tempo rate of both song was slow and makes me feel a bit sleepy.song [b] sounds sad with the expression and the tone of the singer.whereas [a] sounds like no expression and just go on to sing only.
the king singers sounded nice, very suitable for sleeping...Chor sings like talking...Andy williams has a calming voice even when singing solo...George benson's voice is very strong,strong enough to sing alone with the other members playing
Comparing Cher's version and King's Men version of "Danny Boy". We find the King's Men version the most impressive.The accapella really requires a lot of co-operation they sang in harmony. One sang a high note while another one sang a lower note.The Cher's version is also not bad, as she puts a lot of emotions inside it.
The music superrr S-L-O-W .
They have very good voices and they know how to control their voices, not too loud and not too soft.
WE LOVE IT !
we're serious ;p
The solo guitar one very PROFESSIONAL [:
The different version of Danny Boy is very different from the first one.
It is much more faster and nicer to hear.
More suitable for our age group (:
The girl sang "O Danny Boy" in a different style.
She look and sound very scaryyy !
Andy Williams sounded very old and mature.
THE END
i think that it is veri different frm our local and etc music ... cos most of our music is mostly rock and pop but this is melody or some pple may think that it is classical and their pace of singing is slow while my type is those fast type .
andy william have a smooth sound but it too draggy but the i perfer the solo singer than the goup singer that king singer i cannot hear clealy even i can hear the andy william the sound but it was not so nice
The song sang by king singers is slow and allow one to be calm while listening while andy williams sang it like he is talking
quite nice luhhs. but thenn really not suitable for our age .its only tht we dono how to appreciate :)
i think older people will apreciate it !
THE KING SINGERS ONE MORE SLOW AND BORING ;BUT THE SOUND OF IT IS NICEE !
THE ANDYWILLIAMS ONE QUITE NICEE TOOS !THE SOUND OF ANDY SINGING THIS SONG IS VERY UNQUIE
THE CHER ONE SOUNDS SAD .BUT MELODY NICEE !
THE GEORGE ONE NOT BAD ! I LIKE THE WAY HE PLAYS THE GUITAR !
=D SMILE MORE !
-MEIHUII=)
the song sang by the king singer is better . ie prefer it , ahaahs (: as there are bass& alto & soprano & tenor .
and they are also singing in harmony not lyk others .
All of the singers sing in a nice slow rhythm. The King's Singer sing together cooperatively and this results in the hamonious,different kinds of sounds being blended in,that they produce.Andy William instead, sing in a single melody and therefore had to be helped by variety kinds of instruments to beutify the songs,by blending in the different kinds of sounds produced,together.
I Dunt Lyk The Song . Cos , The Rythm , Is Slow . And Th Melody Is Very Weird . Dere's No Intrument Used .
One Is Solo SInger And He Can Take His Tyme Singing , With No Rush . And Could COntrol His Breadth .
