Riverdance Show

One of my favorite shows is Riverdance, particularly "Riverdance - The New Show" (also called "Riverdance - Live from New York").

Riverdance was first performed during the interval of the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest on April 30, in a seven-minute format. On this year the first full-length show of Riverdance was presented in Dublin. There are other shows like this I like: Lord of the Dance, Feet of Flames, Dancing on Dangerous Ground, Gaelforce Dance, Ragus-A Unique Irish Experience, Celtic Tiger...

Here we have some Youtube videos.

First of all, the original show, with Michael Flately (who was named one of National Geographic Society's Living Treasures in 1991 for mastery of a traditional art form). The theme is Reel Around the Sun.


Second, The New Show, with Colin Dunne (who won a total of nine World, eleven Great Britain, nine All Ireland and eight All England titles of Irish dance competitions). The theme is the same, Reel Around the Sun.



Third, Riverdance as it is nowadays, with Breándan de Gallai (who won numerous dancing awards, including National, Provisional and British Championships). Here the theme is Heartland.



This is not in order to promote the contest Michael Flately vs. Colin Dunne... in fact I agree with a comment that says: "Yes MF probably has more skill than Colin. However Colin is a much less ego-centric person and is IMHO easier and at times more enjoyable to watch."
But, I state you the question: which do you like better, MF or Colin Dunne?

Here you can downlaod the an avi version of Riverdance's first theme "Heartland", starring Michael Flately (there's also a Youtube video starring Colin Dunne, but pitifully the quality is too low).
