[@ncisforeverfan78]

Who disliked this? Let me guess...obviously it wasn't an Irish fan! What a beautiful voice...voice of an Irish angel :)

[@TheBruins108]

He or she was most likely a Cheater Fan.

[@garyhutton2654]

Mustn't be Irish 🇮🇪 each to their own

[@johnshea0905]

Probably usc fans 🙄

[@brianchandler1966]

It was likely a usc alum that disliked it.

[@edminger2387]

Brings happiness to my heart and tears to my eyes God bless you all go Irish!

[@danielwade1978]

It’s been a couple of years since I last watched this. It still warms my heart and gets the eyes wet. There’s nothing like our tradition! And how fitting to hear it now, right before we go in and whollop those nasty trojans from out west! LETS GO IRISH!!! ☘️☘️☘️

[@ocndirish]

Thank you so much! Go Irish!

Mauro lo Cool but it sucks us IRISH are known as being Drunks. Those born with Red Hair get Bullied. Some people think our Freckles are Bug Bites.

[@MrJagxjsc12]

Holy smoke!,..had me balling like a baby 8 notes in. Sorry to all you other ladies but,..as fine as I know you are, an Irish girl is the girl for me. Her g'pa must have near died when her heard and saw this! I was proud 'for' him for Christ's sakes! The good Lord set aside a special place for Irish girls, in all His wisdom. Never underestimate the power of an Irish girl laddies!

[@emeraldbandit]

First word out of my mouth when i heard this kid sing was DAM. For a six year old she is good. Really really really good. Not many 6 year old's I know got that type of talent. I hope this wee girl when she got older thought about going profesonal because she would go far

[@ocndirish]

Hi Emerald Fox - thank you! I'm in college now but still singing and hoping to have a singing career. You can check out some of my other songs on my channel. Thanks again!

[@TheLeprechaunjm]

If I had a grandchild who did something like this for me, I'd need to have him/her sing it again, because I'd be crying so hard, I'd have trouble hearing it the first time. She's got the voice of an angel!

[@gph752]

☘️☘️☘️Quite possibly the most beautiful song ever written and sung quite masterfully! Well done 👍🏻☘️☘️☘️

[@ocndirish]

[@derykhrycanuk7994]

[@ocndirish]

Thank you so much!

[@irishfan263]

I love the irish. Way to go girl. You gave me goosebumps. Go Note DAme!!!!

[@jimogrady1131]

Aiden Osman I will admit us IRISH are different born with Red Hair & Freckels. I grew up in a big IRISH Family 10 kids. IRISH Familys are known for having lots of kids.We were 70s kids. We did stand out in grade school with Freckles on our face. US O'Grady boys must have been good looking those girls came to our house sometimes right after school. Not always fun being IRISH lots of people think all IRISH are Drunks. Some people think our Freckles are bug bites. It sucks even today people make fun of REDHEADS. Not gonna Lie some of us kids liked our Alcohol. Funny Parents so many kids forgot our names. Weird us kids liked Alcohol & Parents only drank a few times. We were bad kids going to concerts at 12 years old. I heard girls like IRISH Men. Us kids were cute with our IRISH Freckles. Good news all 10 of us are still Alive. Hey we got our IRISH DANCING. We have all those IRISH MYTHS pot of gold under the Rainbow, LEPECHAUNS are Real. Not an IRISH MYTH our Skin burns easily in the sun. I mis spoke were not born with Freckles we get then from the Sun. Kinda makes sense with us burning easily. Weird Freckles disappear from our face but not our body. Im 58 & still have Freckles on my arms, & legs also on my back & my chest. In case you didnt know its not only IRISH & Scottish born with Red Hair. EVERYBODY LOVES AN IRISH GIRL REDHEAD OR NOT. KISS ME IM IRISH NO REALLY IM IRISH. It is true most IRISH like to drink.

[@MichaelDillon-s6u]

How ironic; Whitney performed this song just last night at a Notre Dame Club of OC event! She will also sing in November at a pep rally. I'll be sure to video it and post. Thanks for your comments.
