Her smile is so adorable that it literally gives me goosebumps

I believe highly accomplished singers should be judged by the excellence of their performances. It isn't entirely fair to expect them to also be superb human beings. And yet some are. Julie Fowlis sings like an angel (if Gaelic angels exist) but is equally impressive for her beauty, her modesty, her intelligence and her pure spirit. Her soul is as lovely as her singing, and that is saying a lot.

Julie Fowlis is an amazing singer and a very intelligent and lovely woman, god bless her.

Julie is just pure class.....on any level you'd care to name.

She’s a world heritage treasure...

She's just incredible. In every way. Talent, beauty, intelligent, well spoken. North Uist done good!

I sincerely hope that in about 50 years, the whole of Scotland is gonna speak Scottish Gaelic as their first language. That tongue is too damn beautiful to die.

I'm French and I've never been to Scotland but what we see from here is that Scotland doesn't seem to want to break the link with England. Now the UK is out of Europe (thanks God...they spend the past 30 years sabotaging the European project on behalf of the Americans) But what does Scotland really wants now ? Does Scotland wants to be part of EU or not ?

What the hell have the Americans got to do with it? Many people want out of the EU because they favour democracy, not autocracy. We have NEVER voted to be absorbed by the EU, which is typical of how the EU project has been run from the start.

Andy Cap because the US started to build the EU from scratch right after the second World war with the Marshall plan. At that time, they wanted a strong EU in order to trade with it but not too strong, especially politicaly. And that's where their English Friends came along. Churchill warned us from the begining : '' We are linked but not combined. We are interested and associated but not absorbed. If Britain must choose between Europe and the open sea, she must always choose the open sea.” which means the US. England spent the past 30 years sabotaging the European project on behalf of the Americans, blocking every single attempt to get closer with one an another. It's a good thing we finaly got rid of them

@@frankmaclow2709 I understand your feeling, but I think you need to look more closely at American intentions which are often the opposite of what you're saying. Obama subtly threatened Britain that if we left the E.U. we would loose importance. The U.S. establishment wanted Britain to serve as Trojan horse for them, as the U.K. often is their junior officer in NATO and follows America in much of its foreign policy, and much else. Churchill was a man of the old Empire, and was under the delusion that there would be, (a) a United States of Europe, (b) Britain and its Empire, and (c) the USA, but with 'a' very subordinate to Anglo-American ambitions probably.

I just met her tonight after a show. She's just glowing with positive energy and was a real joy to meet. Wonderful show and I hope she comes back.

She has charmes. I adore her music, her voice. So naturally. I think there is no difference in between her acting in this interview and in private. To Julie, be proud of what you have achieved and please keep on going. :)

Jako Stoter you are right, she is just like this back stage... Cute calm and sweet for everyone

I find it confusing and challenging when I encounter people like Julie; there are so few like her. And by "like her" I mean so perfectly lovely in spirit, in performance and appearance. Maybe I'll add "perfectly consistent." She just couldn't be more appealing in any way.

What a lovely, gifted woman.

such a great spokeswoman for her native country..

I love Julie Fowlis I think she is a great singer

I wish i could speak gaelic! I am from belgium and totally in love with it. It sounds like what scotland and ireland is breathing!

What a lovely person! Everything she does is inspiring to me. Keep it up!!

she is beautiful ! and her voice is unique.

What a lovely and talented woman in so many ways!

Wonderful singer ,musician and a very warm human being. We are very blessed to have so many excellent bands,singers and musicians all around us here in Scotland. RURA .Manran ,Duncan Chisholm ,Skipinnish ,Ross Ainslie ,Project Smok , Kathleen MacInnes,,Breabach, Paul McKenna Band ,Valtos ,Niteworks ,Hannah Rarity. just to name a few and all of them on here at KZread.

Now I gotta dig up that Jools Julie performance - what a super interviewee she is; articulate, knowledgeable, educated - and she plays the bagpipes. Whodathunkiit? Oh. And just a delight to watch.

My goodness, she makes real for me the beauty of my Scottish great-great-great grandmothers. I've seen photos/tintypes/daguerreotypes of them, but the black and white tints and the severe hairstyles made them seem a bit hard. When I look at her, in living color, I can see why my great-great-great grandfathers fell in love with them. She is simply lovely in every way. Greetings from San Francisco!

What a beautiful voice and How beautiful, dear princess Julie Fowlis♫

I so glad that both Gàidhlig agus Gaeilge have been keeped alive they both beautiful languages.I love looking at u tube and the internet because there are so many places to find programs about Gàidhlig.

What a lovely gifted Lassie and so wonderful in hearing the old Tongue, it'll never be lost. I was in awe of the German Lad who spoke Irish Gaelic, and even spoke the English with an Irish Accent, says a lot of where you learn another Language. Mind I speak German too and it's easier than Gaelic to learn.

Thank you for sharing this interview. I love the music, storytelling, and singing voice of Julie Fowlis. 💕

I love her music and personality. I would like to learn Gaelic. It's a beautifully language.

I find her attractive

I agree. Julie is beautiful. And her accent (when speaking English) is especially beautiful. It reminds me of the English-language accent used by some of the Welsh people in kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2SWybWberiod5M.html “The Welsh Knot (24th October 2010)” . (A Celtic-language--influenced accent in both cases?) Btw, early on in this Julie Fowlis video, it describes widespread negativ attitudes toward Scotch Gaelic. Yes, attitudes that people wer propagandized into holding. Yes, such negativ attitudes ar just linguistic discrimination, a practise which i definitely don't like. In my mind, discriminating against languages is about as justified as discriminating against people, particularly since the two types of discrimination ar closely related.

I want to be like HER... :)

Zhubné nádory (iné názvy: malígny nádor, malígny/zhubný novotvar, malígna/zhubná neoplazma; rakovina, kancer, zastarano rak; lat. cancer) sú skupinou ochorení zahŕňajúcou útvary s abnormálnym rastom buniek s potenciálom invadovať alebo sa šíriť do iných častí organizmu. Nie všetky nádory sú rakovinou. Rozoznávame nádory malígne (zhubné) a *Ako ide život?* nádory benígne (nezhubné). Benígne nádory sa nešíria do iných častí organizmu a nezakladajú metastázy. Ako rakovina (kancer, rak, lat. cancer) sa v širšom zmysle označuje aj zhubné/malígne nádorové ochorenie, teda ochorenie resp. patologický stav prislúchajúce/-ci k alebo vedúce/-ci k vzniku zhubného nádoru. Slovo rakovina vzniklo pre podobnosť medzi prerastajúcim nádorom a klepetami raka. Aj v iných jazykoch sa používa táto podobnosť: lat./angl. cancer, nem. Krebs, rus. rak. Pôvodne sa slovom rakovina označoval len karcinóm.

I took my little sister to see Brave in theater. I was a Julie Fowlis fan, but not a big enough of a one to be seen going to such a movie alone.

It is great that she answered back in gealic if the question came in that language

Amazing woman❤️

I like that the Scottish people say em, instead of um when thinking about what they are going to say next. It does not sound dumb like um does.

she seems lovely, a collaboration with Bear McCreary would be awesome.

Wonderful 👍💖

Very inspirative interview :)

Celtic languages were spoken once from Galatia in Anatolia to the British Isles. St Jerome who translated the scriptures from Hebrew to Latin, commented that the language spoken in cis-alpine Gaul was the same as the one spoken in Galatia which was 2500 miles to the east. I am presently living in Rhode-island on the east coast, and finding NB many old place names to be in Gaelga. Ie Monadnock, Means solo rock in Irish. Tiogue, a village in Ri, means the new house. Another village called usque- Pauge , means the water of life There are numerous examples in New England, pre-dating any recent arrival of Irish. ScotsGaelic was once spoken in North Carolina as a result of immigration from the highlands of Scotland.Go Raith maith agut Gaelga na hAlban.

since the 'O noble youth' video, I always thought she had brown eyes..

I know that language dynamic. My father was a native Italian speaker, my mother wasn't. But she decided that we were in America and needed to speak English. So although I could have been bilingual Italian, my mother wouldn't allow it. She shushed my dad & made him speak English around the house. Sigh. This frustrates me to no end. But I think that was the trend at the time.

Julie is quite astoundingly hot

Cultural repression is such a trend for particular generations all over the world. The British empire did this to Africans, Native Americans and South Americans. Wherever they went, with their instrument of oppression the Catholic Church missionary, people were punished for speaking or adhering to customs of their indigenous culture. Thank goodness people prevailed and many of these beautiful cultures are blooming again!! Sláinte Mhaith!!

Jerimiah brought the Israelite princess to Ireland to fulfill the prophecy of keeping the Royal line of David. The red chord that surrounds the Royal flag of Scotland has the significance of being used to distinguish the twins that were fathered by Judah when he was seduced by Tamara on the road to meet his sheep shearers. She knew the Royal line had to be kept pure and not be polluted by Judah's youngest son,whose mother was from the wrong lineage.
