  • id love 2 know what johnny thinks of ronan covering his beautiful IRIS...... but i love ronan keating whatever the answer........ ha ha

  • there is no comparison, the version of the goo goo dolls are much better

  • non c'è paragone, la versione dei goo goo dolls è molto migliore

  • Not a song that fits him, but the ensemble is amazing!

  • i love goo goo dolls !!!!

  • great performance

  • :D:D best scene at 0:32

    man great musicans xDDDD

  • Why is everyone smiling? It's not a happy song...

  • Besser als das Original! Der Mann hat Kraft in der Stimme, die goo goo dolls nicht wirklich.

  • goo goo dolls are ten times better.

  • he screwed it up..

    too bad.

  • i bet the goo goo dolls are embarrased as fuck after hearing this :L nothing will EVER compare to the original.

  • Goo Goo Dolls are the only ones who can actually kick ass on this song. This guys alright, Avril Lavigne sucked, it just cant be done by anyone else....

  • It sounds like two people are singing... backing track maybe?

  • how can you say this is a bad cover?its a bit funny to believe that the original is always better only because is original.technical ronan's voice is alot better than Goo Goo dolls singer.he is very emotional when singing so what makes Goo Goo dolls' version better?the original?i think this philosophy isnt logical

  • THIS IS WAY BETTER!! its full-on

  • @theevilvideo

    Rofl.

  • that was cool, i did not know ronan could sing lower than his loud nose :p googoo gaga this 1 is a cool remake!

  • un clasico !

  • I Love The Goo Goo Dolls version, And i Think it's a lot better than this, but I think this is pretty good:) it's a hard song to sing.

  • Very Bad......The goo goo Dolls are the only one

  • a very bad cover..

    goo goo dolls ftw :D

  • Iris from the goo goo dolls its the best

  • I h8 it when ppl cover a song and make it worse :( this deeply offends me :(

  • hes singing with a backup of his own voice

  • is it really that hard to sing as i can hit the high notes but i do music in college and my voice has been coached but i could hit them even before coaching and i can play this on guitar

  • i'm not saying this was horrible, but i'm just saying that it was nowhere near as good as the goo goo doll's would've been. it's not an insult, just a fact of life. i mean, anyone would agree--the goo goo dolls are just amazing, right?

  • i agree m8 nowhere near the quality of the original but still gud

  • Klasse Song !

  • dude, it would have been okay if he credited the goo goo dolls, but he shouldn't be singing this awesome song

  • this sucks. goo goo dolls are much better so much more feeling and they are a BAND he is just a singer.

  • How can you dislike this guys comment?!?!? John Rzeznik put way more feel into the song and he doesn't need shitty backing vocals to do it. Ronan wrecked this song and people actually think he wrote it!!

  • great performance.

  • not hating but his live performance was pretty bad.......the goo goo dolls are just as good live as they are in the recorded song

  • im a big goo goo dolls fan!!

    but hey!!

    ronan keating sang this song with great feeling!!

    and comparing voices

    ronan's vocal range is better than goo goo dolls

  • are you kidding? do you know how hard it is to sing the original version? take a voice training lesson and try for yourself, the singing range is very impressive

  • he only carried this song coz the violins was in there helping the song sound as good as the ggd original. thanks for this upload.happy i found a decent cover of iris

  • There is a backing track playing here and maybe Ronan is singing with it.

  • yeah cuz i dont see 2 singers.

    i was thinking the same thing.

    maybe he's jsut doubvle voiced? haha that'd be sick.

  • Everybody has got his own tast guy.

    We don't need to follow your words don't we?

    I like the music he made, also with boyzone, and every cover he did was amazing so just rate and give your complaint.

  • I think it was good.

    It's hard to do it as good as the Goo Goo Dolls. ;)

    Don't forget that

  • Goo Goo Dolls are amazing. My favourite band ever, but this is pretty awesome.

  • yeah dont be like that cause you prefere goo goo dolls. he is great singer

  • I prefer the Goo Goo Dolls version... but Ronan Keating is a great singer!

  • Listen you little kids it may not be his song but Ronan is still a really great singer with a great voice even if you don't like him!So get lost!

  • I think its pretty good :)

    Im a big fan of the Goo Goo Dolls but I can appreciate someone elses take on it.

  • Sucks balls.

  • i don't think it was a disgrace...ronan is a great singer,and this is a good version...

  • Epic Fail, just a disgrace

  • wad a disgrace.....

  • OMg! I mean yeah he may be an awesome singer in a different style of music, but this is my fav song in the world, and im sure this is not how the compsoer of this song intended this great pieace to sound like!

  • He really thinks he can cover one of the greatest songs ever? Much less a Goo Goo Dolls song? Please.... this terrible. Only Johnny can sing it the way it was meant to be sung.

  • This is even worse than Avril's version

  • this is retarded.. only johnny can sing this song

  • this is a big FAILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL­LLLLL !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! SOWWY RONAN CANT DO A CLASSIC GOO GOO DOLLS

  • check out the violiner behinde him ,, i wonder how they choosed em ,, oh ,, nice voice too,,lol

  • haha its like a downgraded version of iris

  • this song is not made for him.. its a goo goo dolls song. i cant really feel the chorus when he sings it.. it doesnt come from his heart..

  • @Incredevil well actually this song is not made for goo goo dolls, neither. It was made for the movie Angels' city, if I remember it right. It was just made BY GGD :)

  • @lethaihien12345

    youre right, but it's still a song i will always associate with the goo goo dolls.

  • amazing voice

    amazing man

  • He looks like the actor James Synder

  • omg

    he sucked all the soul out the song.

    "Here you see Ronan Keating sucking the life out of one of the greatest songs ever live at the FIFAWM Show in Germany. The clip ends with an "official" football areswipee boring us to death!!!!!! Enjoy:-) "

  • robbing bastard

  • epic fail

  • Die Goo Goo Dolls sind immer noch besser GGD=Iris

  • go eat black penis.

  • any need?

  • not good...

    Ronan good looks but stop please with Iris, you can't do it.

  • ehhhh..... when he sings the chorus, theres no feeling, no meaning. He's just singing it.

  • whattabitch atleast new found glory tried to make the song their own I hate it when covers try to sound too much like the original

  • It's not the worst cover, I've ever heard, but I don't like it!! It's a GGD song and Johnny Rzeznik sings it with much more passion!! Sorry, but I'm a huge GGD fan!xD

  • Yh so am i, and i agree with your statement! I wish Ronan left th song alone, so th only famous well-known singer who sings it and is known for singing it is Johnny, but now he is known for it 2. Oh well, if the Goo Goo Dolls don't mind then it doesn't matter 2 me :)

  • Oh and username "fisharecoming", YES Ronan did get permission from the Goo Goo Dolls to do this concert.

  • hey everyone, just enjoy it! If the Goo Goo Dolls didnt come to my town, and this was the closest I could get, then I would pay for this damn ticket and listen to this very good singer sing. Maybe he dont do it like Johnny, but he ISNT JOHNNY! He is a good singer, so lay off plz. Just listen, enjoy and have fun!

  • well put...i dont mind anyone singing this song because it always sounds gud to me! (if ya can sing) haha and ronan keating mite not be johnny but hes still good and he has the right too sing a good song!

  • original better, period

  • Noooooooooo!

    he killed it!!

    leave Iris alone!! you cant out sing John!!

    naughty ronan!

  • so true, this is goo goo dolls song, its an amazing song and should only be sung by johnny because its so special. Agree?

  • yep totally agree!

    as for jakeomega.... you should have been at rock city few days ago... ud be eating your words round about now.

  • i saw the goo goo dolls last night live in Dublin and John was singing great. He has a really unique voice and I think all these people criticizing his voice should stop giving him such a hard time. I am a big Boyzone fan but I think Ronan should have left the original as it was. It should never have been covered. Nothing beats the Goo Goo Dolls version of Iris.

  • sucker!! stealing one of the best songs ever.. he doesn't even play the guitar himself !! it's much easier to sing without having to play the guitar..

  • Are you sick, or why are you so obsessed stating that?

    It's the GGDs song, and it forever will be. So no mater how Johnny fucks it up or changes it over the years, he f'n CAN :D

  • Thats Cos Ronan needs to get a pair, ex boyband, Goo Goo Dolls are a man band

  • woulda been nice if he got the goo goo dolls approval for the song before he robbed em johnny never said he could = )

  • this is love.

    not as good as the original.

    but still v. good.

  • jajajajjaa I like Ronan but NEVER a cover will be better than original. NEVER.

    Rzeznik wrote the lyrics, he is the only person who deserves to sing this amazing song.

    His deep voice, his charisma , his intelligence, Rzeznik created Iris.

  • You can say what you want say about this guy. But in my eyes he makes this song better than the original is.

  • Good Job, Mr. Keating. You did the song justice. *applaulds*

  • Ronan keating you are the sexiest man in the world!!!

  • This is nothing compared to the original version... the goo goo dolls kick ass!!!

  • chuckawobbly ur such a dumbass!

    if ur gonna call someone a fuck tard please get ur facts straight :P! lol goo goo dolls forever!!!

  • omg.

    you did NOT just say that. =.=

  • Ronan did sing it well but the credit goes to Johny... He's still the best!!

  • leave it to the dolls mate..

  • very nice!!!!

  • Ronan's voice is incredible...i think it's a fantastic version of Goo Goo Doll's Iris. But, does anyone agree that Ronan looks rather similar to the lead singer of The Feeling? He really does...he's so fucking HOT.

  • I agree with this Kaine guy, Ronan has a great voice, it's just quite different than Johnny's.

  • screw u stop these fool comments! he's one of the best tenors I've ever heard!

    u're undoubtebly ignorants in POP music!!!

  • GOD DAMN he destroy the song !!!

    go to hell ronan keating!

  • u fucking ashole u runied the best song ever and you sing so gay holy shit ur not rite for this song get a life cuz the wrold diffently doesnt want to c u

  • man, this guy is so horrible. this guy is so fuck en retared. omg

  • damn it! RONAN's VOICE SUCKS! SCREW him! SOUND's like some kind of an animal call! yuck. he sucks. HE's not even comparable with johhny in any way i can think of.. poor guy, he's just trying hard.. idiot!

  • id so tap that blonde violinist

  • lollllllllllllllllllllllll

  • Great<!!

  • omg he,s brilliant :)

    xxx

  • este tipo mato a la mejor cancion del mundo, que le pasa. GOO GOO DOLLS numero 1 siempre

  • ummm.... that just completely killed that song. no one can sing it but johnny rzeznik..i have yet to c a decent cover of it. the only okay one was avril lavigne and johnny was playing w/ her so yea

    THE GOO GOO DOLLLS ROCK!!!!

  • this guy is a retard... everyone's gonna hate him for ripping off a GGD classic.. and doing it badly to boot

  • I liked it. [:

  • I love this song!

  • AHHH this pisses me off so much, he stole the greatest song in the world, without permission, and didnt even credit GGD's

    hes a wanker - ronan if you read this, it really is true - W.A.N.K.E.R.

  • Okay i fecking love the ggd's more than EVER but he did have permission you can't take a song without it at gigs where john said stuff like if anyone knows him tell him he's to give me money or whatever lol but you do need copy right permission

    GOO GOO DOLLS FUCKING ROCK

    his version is shite dont really know why he done it :|

  • Oh come on, as if nobody's ever re-released someone else's song before? All he's doing is making the music available to more people, surely there's nothing wrong with that? Besides, I like Ronan. Slag me off if you must, that's just my opinion.

  • what a retard. completely ruins the song. . .

    And he ddnt even think to ask john rzeznik if he could use it!

    arsehole. . .

  • this guys a fag

  • Bullshit

  • this is SHIT.

  • great song, the goos perform it better but this is still a rather decent show

  • I like Ronan Keating and also Goo Goo Dolls, both artist are my favorite.

    But the better performer of that song "IRIS" is no other than the Goo Goo Dolls.

    Besides, Goo Good Dolls doesn't give Ronan Keating a permission  to sing their song "IRIS".

    Ronan is PIRATE.

    It's a very disappointed to a fan like me.

  • Who is this pussy?

  • excuse me, 'morethanalittlecrazy', this is not about the money for johnny. he himself said that iris was sent down to help him, as it pulled him out of severe writers block and depression, and gave him the confidence to keep on doing what he does best- singing and writing songs. It obviously means a lot to him. And i'm sure that he would be pissed that this keating dude covered it without permission, and did a shitty job while he was at it. no one can do it as well as the goos, that is final.

  • Not as close, the original version is way lot better than this.... What the hell is Ronan Keating doing singing Goo's all time favorite song.... He should stick to his genre singing pop songs.

  • This is a fucking Punk-Rock-Song and look, at this pussy Keating and his Clothes! He sucks! I should smack him in the face for singing this!

  • ffs you're all so ignorant and close minded. get over it, i'm sure 'johnny' has, he made his millions singing this song, i'm sure he didn't mind that it got covered, at least it wasn't covered/remixed by some crappy eurotrash artist. if you don't like this version just don't watch/play it - go search for the original and bum that instead.

    also, he's not gay, he's a happily married dad of 3 and is a hugely successful singer/songwriter.

    i'd like to see you do better.

  • this is johnnys song. he wrote it, he sang it, along with mike and robby. keating, im not saying he sucks at singing, but johnny is obviously way more talented and theres no way in hell keating could do this better than the goo goo dolls. has anyone seen the ggd perform this at thier buffalo concert in the rain? only someoene with real talentlike johnny could sing that well in conditions like that. i doubt keating could have done half as well

  • Dude, cmon, just compare their voices. Although it's a different take on it, both versions are pretty good, the Goo Goo Dolls one is obviously better, but, this guy is a good singer.

  • totally

  • O. M. G. This guy SUCKS. This is the Goo's song, always was, always will be, and there will never be a person who can sing it or perform it better. Goo's forever!!

  • if i was john i would fuckin sue the guy he did have no right or permission from them to sing that song that john himself wrote and sang. What a bif fuckin dick.

  • He may not be better at performing the song that the Goo Goo Dolls, but he's a better singer.

  • Goo's are better.

  • This guy probably didnt get paid for this gig if hes just starting out his career its to his advantage to appear at these BIG shows for free but it will do him no good with that style of music cause he sucks and maybe gay LOL

  • Ronan Keating- I hate you !

    Goo's Forever !

  • this guy is funny

  • Singing along to a backing track sounds like there are duplicate singers singing together.Listening carefully it is possible to hear somewhat two voices in a backing track performance.

  • Singing with a backing track sounds like there are two two singers singing the song. It gives the song more body and allows the singer to hit the high notes easier.

  • wow this is terrible...who the fuck is ronan keating? whoever is saying this guy is better than the go goo dolls is quite possibly retarded

  • Playing a backing track while you sing allows you to hit the hight notes easier and also gives a nicer sound to the live performance. It gives a fuller voice and is so easy to recognise as it sounds like the cd you buy.

  • Watch for the shielding of the mouth as it is a give away. It prevents the camera getting too close.Many artists are playing backing tracks now. In fact all tv shows in Europe insist on it.

  • It is obvious that Ronan is singing to a backing track The band are playing live but he is singing to an accompanying backing track. No live act should sound like they do on a cd period!!!!

  • suggest you type in Garry and ronan into the search engine and you will get a charity gig from 1999 thats actually live and with no backing tracks. Its is terrible. Live doesn't mean whats it should!!!!

  • If a singer sounds as good live as on the cd then he or she is singing with backing tracks or is simply miming.If they are covering their mouth with their hands and microphone then they are miming.

  • hmmzz he looks like tom cruis in blond or something like that , neway he ripped this song without permission that low life wanker , he sings it like a fucking shemale, dolls are way better !

  • Didn't the lead singer for Goo Goo Dolls write this song for his wife, Iris? I thought they gave renor or what's his name an idea for a soundtrack lead song. The result is what I think is "IRIS".

  • goo goo dolls are so much better!!!!!!!!!! but this guy has a great voice

  • thats right FOXYCAT you tel em. ronan keeting is fukcing awsome and he did the song because he loves it and wanted to sing and express it in his own way like any artist that covers another song. goo goo dolls suck balls anyway ronan has made like 5 times more cash then those stupid yanks. awsome cover ronan good work

  • nah goo goo dolls version is better but he does a good job of covering it.

  • What the fuck!? Goo Goo dolls are a lot better then this sucker...

  • Ronan ist ja echt süss... aber diese Frisur... find ich echt schrecklich.

    Ronan - I love you

  • jap.. horrible hairstyle
