[Monteiro232323]

GREAT!!!

[ValaBlake]

Johnny's a sweetheart. Poor thing =(. He is an amazing writer, singer and musician, and he has a big heart. That was an excellent performance. I hope I actually get to see a New Year's Eve performance soon. Love ya, Goo Goo Dolls! *HUGS*

[almaadg1]

i love you johnny your soo awesome and amazing love this song !!!!!

[sweetsolitude99]

I'm pretty sure he was crying here, his voice cracks and it sounds like he's crying at 1:33. :( Aww.

[needanap624]

@sweetsolitude99 I dunno. He's either laughing or crying. Sometimes it can be really hard to tell!

[sweetsolitude99]

@needanap624 I really don't think he's laughing. I know a Johnny laugh. ;)

[needanap624]

@sweetsolitude99 Yeah but it was almost like he was trying not to laugh. LIke "Oh crap that was so funny, but I have to be serious and sing this song....but that was too damn funny!" IDK I guess I'd rather believe he was laughing instead of crying. I did a search and found a blog where someone said they saw him kiss Melina at midnight that night :)

[sweetsolitude99]

@needanap624 Yeah. You can see him kiss her on the countdown video on here. :)

[Crystasorrow]

AWW I think he's crying! :3

[sevenseasdude]

@ ReXIX2:

I'm with you on this. Haven't seen a live performance of them where he sings it in the original way since 2004. Don't know if he's just too lazy now, enjoys the fans to sing it too much, or if his voice can't do the high pitch anymore? Still love the song, no doubt, still love them live, but........

[yeeseee]

Im loving him in this song

[ReXIX2]

Imagine having a hit that you cant sing anymore :( thats sad! the verses is crazy good!

[Tiril1125]

I'm going to see them this new years in Detroit!! Can't wait!

[Pyrate3]

I'll be there, too.

[bigmachine204]

i dont think anybody could write a song as big as iris it was at number 1 for 18 weeks.

[bigmachine204]

is johnny crying?

in an interview he said he was drunk.

[blobblexxx]

i think he's crying... not sure though.

Really, which interview?

[redhed5150]

@bigmachine204 if he is crying, to STILL have the emotions for this song is priceless...wow

[wdarksaintw]

horrible :( he cannot sing the chorus .... i hate that ! sounds really weird .... im sorry i love the original but in concert..... R.I.P

[chimchim22]

"I wanna right another song that makes this one not so big."

lol, good luck :)

[Crystasorrow]

@chimchim22 lol you never know...Johnny apparently thought up and wrote Iris in 5 minutes ;) so he could write another song that could be bigger than it down the road, who knows.

[needanap624]

@Crystasorrow He's more recently said the words and music were all done in an afternoon.

[Gu11d44]

This isnt just a song, this is THE SONG!

Love (L)

[googirlsmiles]

The Goo Goo Dolls ...just ....wow ......saw them last NYE in Vegas, my first travel out of state to see them, cost me a fortune and it was priceless.... all was right with world :)

[tjx0116]

[airguitar03]

The fella has been through a lot ;(

[sebendebi]

is john crying?

[trulychloe]

@sebendebi No I think he's sweating.

[NJZSigEp156]

I was there. This was the most amazing concert ever, from what I remember of course, it was New Years (: Best place to be on New Years Eve is with Goo Goo Dolls.

[danielleg87]

does he look like he was crying? or is it just me?

[ClosestToHeaven]

No, you are dead on. I am pretty sure he was. You can hear his voice crack in certain sections. :(

[danielleg87]

I thought I was going crazy ... he kinda sniffles at one point after the guitar solo.

[fairyluv23]

i kno i noticed that too

[grungehead91618]

he was probably drunk lol. awesome band and song!

[grungehead91618]

it's not an insult! lots of musicians get drunk before they go onstage it helps them calm down. look at soundgarden lollapalooza chris was shit-faced

[thinkaboutgoo]

I love the person that is saying Thank you!!!! Yes Thank you!!!!

[dizzygoogoodollie]

fuck i wished i'd been there on NYE :(

[MONster2054]

[Szumpi]

OMG! Johnny is so awesome! He sings soooo passionately, I can't stop adoring him!! Iris is one of the best songs on this planet!! I love the very end of the live performances sooo much!! It's like a bomb!! INEFFABLY AMAZING!! Goo's are the best!!

[luvggdxjr4eva42]

yay! he sang the chorus! this is by far the best performance of iris iv seen! wish i could have been there! thanks so much for this!

[KenFuette]

I've been to see the GGDs three times in the last 2 years and this was by far their best show! They played from 11PM to 1AM and it was fantastic. The countdown at midnight was so much fun and the band sounded fantastic! What a great bunch of guys.........Thanks for posting this video. What a great memory of a really fun night! Can't wait for the next show....

[Violet1237]
