Top 10 Artists With the Best Rendition of the Song "Danny Boy"

There are many renditions of Danny Boy performed by various artists. Which one do you like the most?

The Top Ten

  1. Jackie Evancho

    The most moving rendition of "Danny Boy" I have ever heard. I only wish she would sing it now with her more mature voice. Beautiful and haunting. If you have not heard her, go to YouTube and check it out, but be ready to cry.

    Jackie's talent is simply off the charts. This is not only the most extraordinary version of Danny Boy but truly one of the most moving and poignant musical presentations ever recorded.

    If you hear this version, you may believe that Jackie loves this song, but it's more about the opportunity. She may not sing it again. Thanks for performing it this one time nevertheless!

  2. Michael Londra

  3. Celtic Woman

    A little over-orchestrated and schmaltzy, but she has the purest voice and hits the high notes well.

  4. Andy Williams

    This version is breathtaking, especially the notes at the end. No one is more sincere, and as we know, his voice is one of the world's all-time most beautiful and famous.

  5. Judith Durham

    Judith Durham is in a class of her own. I think her "live" version with an orchestra is the most touching of all. Not to be missed!

    Surprised us all by showing what a good emotional singer she was outside of the Seekers' repertoire.

  6. Sinead O'Connor

  7. Eric Clapton

  8. Deanna Durbin

    Her voice is calming. Her emotion showed through in all she sang. I like her version better than any other.

  9. John McDermott

    John McDermott's a cappella performance of Danny Boy is the purest version I have ever heard. I was one with the song. The emotion felt was one of all-consuming focus on the story and that voice of John McDermott. Just beautiful. It touched my soul.

    Worth the listen from the Danny Boy album.

  10. Mario Lanza

    11. The Newcomers

    The most emotional and moving version I have heard. There is no second place.

    This rendition, along with the one from Elvis, are streets ahead...

  14. The Irish Tenors

  15. Johnny Cash

  16. Daniel O'Donnell

    The perfect voice for this song. Beautiful.

    Beautifully sung, with real emotion. Hitting those high notes perfectly and balancing the lower notes with fantastic vibrato.

    His amazing voice and the emotion he brings to the song are unmatched.

  18. Bing Crosby

    Emotionally powerful! Great fidelity throughout the vocal range.

    Hands down, Jackie Wilson! His range is unbelievable! Excellent!

    Another great version of Danny Boy!

    This is the best version by far. Every line he delivers is perfect. Please listen to Roy's version before voting.

    Being of Irish descent, over the years I've heard many, many renditions of Danny Boy, but my sisters, cousin, and I love the Peter Hollens version best!

  22. Johnny Mathis

    He can sing like no other. The most beautiful voice ever!
