Oh, but I wasn't arguing the Celine Dion thing, although I didn't get it till now. I just don't think that track (or most of the CD) shows any influence of Enya. Only the two tracks that she sings on.

And in my humble opinion, I don't think it was Jackson who made hobbits rather Irish. I think it was Tolkien.
