3. It was during this song that Cindy McCain

almost lost it. She really had to pull her energy together at several points, with a stray tear leaking on a few occasions.

What a strong woman, to match the strength of her husband.

7. Danny Boy is an intimate song.

As good as Fleming is, an opera singer can't do it justice.
