  • I like this verion but I prefer the Goo Goo Dolls. Beautiful landscapes though =)

  • nice video...I like it....

  • What an amazing singer ! I love him from the bottom of my heart !! He's brilliant and classy and awesome and so gifted and so on and so on ... <3

  • wat a voice

  • Wislor can go to hell

  • I prefer Goo Goo Dolls version, but this is good

  • i lyk it! i prefer the original but its really good!

  • You know he didnt even ask John if he could cover this song......and in my opinion I dont like it at all. The original will always be the best.....but I salute him for trying.

  • Obviously didn't need to ask him if he got the legal rights to record it.

  • No my friend....you look it up....you need approval in order to cover a song by the original artist. Theres a video on youtube where they ask John if Ronan asked him if he could record it and John said no.

  • If that were the case, then almost every cover song on YouTube is illegal.

  • No its not illegal to cover a song on youtube if its in a video. Its only illegal if you put your song on an album and sell it for profit without asking the original artist. Thats what this dude did.

  • i love ronan so much :)

  • Comment removed

  • this song is quite ok. it's not the worst version i should say. but original's are the best!

  • I prefer the goo goo dolls version tbh :)

  • ok he is an good singer, not a fan of him myself but i anit an asshole he is talented, having said that i has not done this song justice!! goo goo dolls were better and lets face it, in my opinion anyways, it suited John Rzeznik voice better.

    p.s goo goo dolls rule XD

  • Nice job on GGD song. He is so hot. Wish I was the horse! :)

  • All I can think of watching this is that he's in Dubai, the arsehole of the world. A country of eternal sunshine, without a single solarpanel. Go fuck yourself your oil loving shitheads. Ohh, and Goo Goo Dolls rule this!

  • i prefer the version of googoodolls

  • the "building" is actually a hotel in dubai called the burj al arab.. the only 7star hotel in the world.. it's a pretty amazing sight

  • its a song by the goo goo dolls and he fucks it up completly watch the goo goo dolls version so much better

  • wheres dat building on which ronan stands on helipad........

  • It's in west kerry

  • Didn't he sing the song for Denmark in the eurovision??

  • No, but I believe he wrote the song. ;)

  • yes he did

  • he did not! "Iris" was written by John Rzeznik of GGD!!

    i hope ya'll actually knew that and i am simply missing some sarcasm or something haha

  • omg this is my song nd yu fucked it up

  • so beautiful

  • you tell em sister! (doggiezperson)

  • um to all you haters out there, he sang this song because his mother died three years befor he sang this song, so do you get it noway, he dosent want the world to see him at that point of time because he dosent think that they would understand how he is feeling

  • If you don't like this guy...Don't post here Really...I mean Wow...You people who post insults are probably just as sad as the people saying it to his face....If you like the Goo Goo Dolls...Go post on their video....

  • well i cant say this is great, but goo goo dolls suck fuckn BAG so this is far better..

    Oh yes once again, Goo Goo Dolls SMOKE COCK...

  • oh dear! all i can say with out being really offensive. oh dear!

  • some else comes along and does a better job which is impossible but never say never (sorry i ran out of space in my other comment)

  • plz dont slaughter me but here it goes :

    1: ronan's version is empty, its very bland

    2: the video is beautiful for a different song

    3: Ronan got balls to cover such a popular and beautiful song

    4: he could of done so much better by tweaking a few things

    5: if he didnt get permission to do this song, shame on Ronan

    6: the horse thingy, the bond fire thing, the hotel scene was kinda lame for this song

    and 7: LEAVE THIS SONG ALONE, Goo Goo Dolls will own this song until they die UNLESS

  • shut the fuk up, if you dont like this song then go coment on the goo goo dolls version, yes i agree that the goo goo dolls version is great, fantasic, so much more words, but its kinda illegal to do a song with out the owners permission, ok so once agen shut the fuk up, you got no taste in mucic, go lision to fuken chris brown the girl basser you dicknob

  • whoa calm down i was stating my opnion i like the video but it didnt match the song and i thought the his version was a lil bland thats all i like Ronan i have seen his work but this is not his best and btw i HATE chris brown and all of them lame pop singers of today. plz dont insult me without knowing me. i was not bashing ronan just stating my opion thats all

  • You sound like: LEAVE BRITNEY ALONE!!!

    Cry cry cry, shame on you for commenting something like this! Shame, shame, shame on you!

  • but i dont even like britney lol

  • Another perfectly good song butchered to death by this stupid Leprechaunish faggot with the fake-gravelly voice and the total lack of talent. As if this wasn't bad enough, he also voice-raped Fairytale of New York by The Pogues. And we have this cilly sunt to thank for Westlife, or as I like to call them "dogshit with microphones". I think the IRA caused less pain and suffering than this twat has done so far.

  • this is the funniest comment ever. good job dude. I love the goo goo dolls version but i don't hate this one as much as you. But "stupid Leprechaunish faggot with the fake-gravelly voice" is a great line. Please keep up the reviews.

  • una merda...improponibile...IRIS è una di quelle rare canzoni ke non può essere coverizzata! è talmente bella ke la cover risulterà sempre una merdata pazzesca!

  • this is the ronan keating version

  • Who's the orginal??

  • Goo Goo Dolls

  • Ohkay, thank you!!! (:

  • go eat a greasy burger and choke on a cow dick!

  • hey, if you don't like Ronan, then leave the page! Its that easy. you dont have 2 listen do you?? if you aint got nothing nice 2 say, then shut up!

    Ronan, brilliant singer! :)

  • Bloody Hell u Nabis0100 !!!!!!!!!

    U definately must be an American...........have u ever listened to singers across Atlantic.........u'd better go to McDonalds, order some fatty burgers and listen to GooGoo Dolls..........cheeky bastards ...............u people here in States do not know anything abt British and Irish singers............bunch of burger eating fat idiots.........

  • Actually, our fast food food is making British people fat too. Looks like you guys can't resist yourselves either. Also, our country doesn't have their physicians worrying about the amount of liver disease being spawned by the tremendous drinking in britain. Looks like you guys are fat alcoholics. Oh, and this guy sucks.

  • u guys suck and ur country's music artists suck........go and listen to ur country western..........hey if u wanna talk abt music Britain has produced legendary artists such as Zeppelin, Beatles, Rolling Stone and the list goes on and on................

  • for sure u guys don't have a great choice on music, cars and sports.........lame baseball, nascar and american football......come to Britain to experience good sports and awesome music.........mate for sure I give u that u guys do pretty well on good food , the fatty and greasy burger..........

  • goo goo dolls sounds way better. They have more behind it because (duh) they wrote it. This guy has a good voice but you can tell that he doesn't feel it at all, or if he does you can't tell at all.

  • goo goo dolls fyi suck... if u had any sense and taste in the music department you would all realize this! He sounds whiney..... O PUH LEASEEEEEEE BITE ME< STUPIDEST COMMENT I HAVE EVER HEARD/ READ!

  • omg soo much better than goo goo dolls love you ronan you are a legend

  • Goo Goo dolls own. But Ronan Keating really is an amazing singer.

  • always nice ;D

  • no no no no no no no no, this queer, Ronan, slaughtered the song, and he didn't even ask permission to do it. His voice isn't right for it (its to whiney), and the video is really cheesy. Goo Goo Dolls own this song

  • song of my lifee!!

  • holy.. he just ruined the song.. goo go dolls is way way better... its such a "RABISH" the music video is illogical!!!!

  • ehhhh it wasnt very good at all... i mean he's good but this song he shouldnt have done... he just ruined a song from my fav band for me...

    I just got to say Live to Goo, Power of the Goo Goo Dolls

    felt like a cheap viagra commercial

  • Well..I think I like Goo Goo doll's version better, because it makes me happy.

  • this is the Goo Goo Dolls song! they own it! this one is good but the goo goo dolls is Awesome!!!

  • dude needs to die. his vocals slaughter the chorus -just another pretty face knock off

  • Ok don't flip out on me.

    I think both Goo goo dolls and Ronan do an amazing job. See I believe since Goo Goo dolls created the song they will always have the uper hand on the song. But as remakes go Ronan did an Awesome job.

    There are very few times the remake is better then the original. So i think to be fair that Ronan is just as good as the Goo Goo dolls but again they have the upper hand so they will remain the best at singing it.

  • i love u

     ronan

  • Not to be mean, but he's no John Rzeznik... This feels like a cheap knock-off. He didn't even try to do anything new with it. It's like a plastic version of the original.

    Apologies to him and his fans. Iris is my favorite song in the world, so I'd be pretty tough to please I'd imagine.

  • ah yeh the horse and the beach thing is abit try hard..

  • I HATE THIS, WAT IS THIS STUPID GARBAGE. GO GOO GOO DOLLS!!!!!!!!!!!! sorry dude, find another song.

  • Not to blame him...but I thinkl that the Goo Goo Dolls Version is more powerful, emotional......... and it is a bit too fast^^

    But that's only my opinion....

  • both versions are stunning!

  • i love this song..i think everytime when i listen to this song at my last holiday...it was wounderful

  • great song

  • i love this song!

  • ich auch:)

  • I love him :D

  • What a really bland song. Both the original and the cover.

  • well he cant ride a horse at all.

  • The GooGoo's iris song is different from Ronan's iris song. Ronan's song is more likely the greek myth part were as the googoo's iris is about the movie 'City of angels'.

  • The song was from the City of Angels soundtrack. Originally from Goo Goo dolls. This song is about a person who no one understands. Just like the angel (Nicholas Cage) who eventually found his true love. He wants her (Meg Ryan) to know that he exists and that the true love is the only person in the world who can understands him. It speaks of a forbidden love between a fallen angel and human. the angel gives up on everything for one woman. he wants to be human so that he can be with her forever.

  • No wonder this whole video is about gods and stuffs like that. Very hard to guess what this song and video is all about.

  • In Greek mythology, Iris (Ἴρις) is the personification of the rainbow and messenger of the gods. As the sun unites Earth and heaven, Iris links the gods to humanity.

  • Yes this does makes scene. Thank you :)

  • of course goo goo dolls are much better since they created the song but it fine too. except I would have preferred he would sing it somewhere else, a nicer place.

  • noo the original was done by the goo goo dolls

  • My new shong.

  • very nice guitar part!

  • i think they both got something special! =D

  • i like him=)

  • *____________*

  • I can not understand why he did this to a great song...

    this sucks!

  • what version is better? tell me one

  • the orginial ofcause. Ronan is nice for lalala musik and he should keeb on there and not messing up proper songs

  • goo goo dolls

  • -.- he refers to the version by the goo goo dolls. they're the original artists. =3

  • no its ronan keating goo goo dolls version is a cover. . . . .. . . .

  • wrong

  • r u high ? ... goo goo dolls own this song

  • Thank you Ronan for this..This version goes with my voice perfectly..

  • My new sohng Irisgs

  • Gosh, sry, but the original is much better !!!

  • grim, pure grim

    ruined a perfectly perfect song

  • this is like backstreet boys covering smells like teen spirit

  • lol!

  • Nice cover!!!

  • Epic fail

  • Ugh, Ronan Keating. Music for people who don't like music, as my friend would say.

    The Goo Goo Dolls asked at a gig 'Who's Ronan Keating?' and then said 'He was in a boyband? Ugh.' so there we go, hah :D

  • hes gorgeous + this is amazing (:

  • i Love this Song

  • Whoever made this video should have listened to the lyrics before they set about the making of the video.

  • The whole point of the video is it's meant to emphasize what is in the song. If you watch the Goo Goo Dolls video the singer is hiding away like a recluse away from everyone. "I don't want the world to see me cos I don't think the world would understand" not riding on the beach on a horsey or standing on the poshest hotel in the world with arms held out.

  • bring back the goo goo dolls

  • Stuart Gosling did an amazing job on this video, And it's like you can feel the emotion coming from Ronan as he sings.. wonderful

  • Giddy up horsy

  • poor Goo Goo Dolls, Ronan did NOT have permision to cover this song.

    But the Goo Goo Dolls CREATED this song, not just any song, THE MOST BEAUTIFUL Written song.

    No-one Can Ever Make This Their Own, Goo Goo Dolls All The Way (y)

  • goo goo dolls are better, but he isn't bad, too

  • i know, right? he wast as bad.. goodness..

    but i do have 2 agree goo goo dolls r betta... ;)

  • I think it's not bad, but goo goo dolls are much better!!! ;)

  • good

  • ich liebe dieses lied antonio ich liebe dich

  • Er heisst Ronan!!!

  • I don't want the world to see me so I hold my hands out the helicopter launching pad on the newest most incredible hotel in the world.

    Wtf u don't say.

  • Where would the modern singer be without autotune , harmony engines etc for their live gigs eh ????

    Soon there will be no need for a person at all just a robot on stage. Oh sorry thats already happening.

  • gogo dolls is better this guy zzzzz

  • this guy sounds teddy geiger

  • I love this song, this guy and his voice.

  • wonderfull song !!!!!!!!

    just like the girl i love(A) called iris(A)

    iris love you(L)

  • ich liebe dieses lied :) x3

  • i love this song.

    altho i like the goo goo dolls version better.

  • it makes me cry!! i really love the both version

  • Ronan has written a song for Denmark for the Eurovision. I guess he is betting that Norway and Sweden will give him 22 points and then Uk and Ireland another 16 points. Ronan does his math. Ronan it's about music not math!!!!

  • Ah well you need hay for horses.

  • i must admit this version has grown on me....not as good as originall but what ever is?

    Anyhow check out my effort on my page.

  • Brilliaaant!! (:

  • this is not as gud as the original, but its ok

  • Wonderfull Song ! ^^

    I Like this alternative Iris version, very great and his voice is so good.

  • I thought this guy was dead, not scene him since 2003,

  • I love the both version.

    However, if I'm gonna choose which I would like to hear everytime.

    I'd choose the Goo goo dolls version.

  • heathenous.. people should worship at the feet of Goo

  • camilla sucks cock everyday and takes it up bum

  • i want his penis

  • shut the fuck up its gd!!

    the other version is better buh id like c yuu lot tryin do better

  • wtf? why did he even bother singing this? and why is it he always puts his arms out in every music video?

  • The Goo  Goo Dolls are gone mad it seems. The lead singer is screaming about not being informed.

  • ey wann wurde das lied gamacht??

    eine stellee ist genau wie die von tokio hotel spring nicht

  • fuckin cunt ruined this song

  • nice horse ^-^

  • why's this guy on a god damned horse?

  • That's just shit.

    Goo goo dolls original song is wonderful, why Ronan had the brilliant idea to do this cover?

    OMG

    -___-"

  • Another thing - this song was for a film about a City Of Angels ie Los Angeles....so why is an Irishman singing it in Dubai?

  • because dubai is a beautiful place ... and this song fits the vid perfectly

  • Yeah............Dubai is a beautiful place

  • Could he look any gayer right now? Seriously, Ronan, digging yourself a hole with this one laddie

  • He doesn't look gay and isn't gay, not that I'd have a problem with it if he was.

  • des lied is von goo goo dolls -.-

  • facking ronan keating, go rip a lame song.

  • i bet that horse is thinking "get the fuck off me you inbred!!"

  • TAT'S GOOD

    LOL

  • es ist einfach toll :)

    eig höre ich mehr was anderes aber es is einfach raawr :)

    <3

  • LOLZ

    @ 2:30 - 2:50

    WTH does this have to do with this song? Hilarious!

  • He sang this song for his lovely horse. hahaha

  • I feel like i'm watching a commercial for a travel agency. Great song but this version is kinda pointless. It really didn't bring anything new to the song. I would never consider touching this tune.

  • Where would we be without that marvelous autotune hardware eh??

  • its actually a software you idiot

  • Yeah New Orleans I was thinking that actually. It seemed that Ro took a holiday brochure advertising video and green screened himself into it. It makes no sense either way what so ever. It's like really stupid.

  • I think his voice sounds fine. It's just smoother. It's damn near impossible to ruin Iris. The video doesn't make much sense though.

  • i liked this version better

    but i love this song no matter who sings it

  • goo goo  dolls wrote it.. this is acover

  • song=love<3

    goo goo dolls did this song to right.?

  • And when he's ridng the horse and by the fire?! WTF is that?

  • Really?

    Mr. Keating has disgraced this song. Yeah, the setting is amazing, but his voice sucks my left nut. God.

  • va be è bravo.... meglio l'originale ma anke questa nn è male......
