  • yea,this song is originally by Goo Goo Dolls & the soundtrack for the City of Angels movie.its a very nice song.

  • it is goo goo dolls

  • boyz 2 mwns cover is so much betta.. xx check it out ppl xx

  • who is the original singer/maker of this song???

    I must to know!

  • @Nekou2

    I think it's the Goo Goo Dolls, I'm not sure.

  • the goo goo dolls created this song, id bet any life on it

  • tbh i dont really mind this cover.

    of course goo goo dolls are better.. but still this one isnt "too" bad. its got a lot of really stupid parts.

  • esto de poner anuncios hasta en youtube es la ostia cago en todo. dentro de poco pondran anuncios hasta en el papel del culo pa cuando vayas a utilizarlo!

  • ^^^^^^ wants to know whats wrong with this cover

  • Oh Hell no!

    Don´t ruin "THE" Song

    Keep with your also great songs...

  • Great singer, but this must've been the worst cover I've ever heard. Covering this song is just something you shouldn't do :o

  • beacuase you cant top it is just something amazing that was created

  • proper wanker

  • I really love the man, but this he shouldn`t have done..

  • Oh Jesus God No!

  • i really don't like him! >: (

  • wow ronan is my idol! i love u! lol

  • Ok, yeah ok song.

    But just... no..

    you can't take a song like this and expect it to be better than the original. just aint happenin

  • Yer, who the frig is this guy and why is he singing this. goo goo dolls is original and just sounds better. hhmm so thats why i saw this on rove live.

  • Ocean and this beautifull horse I love it.

  • Ronan Keating is my idol but frankly I have to say Goo goo dolls sang this song better

  • ....places in this VDO....words island,burj ul arab in DUBAI(united arab emirates)

  • U A E ................

  • I ike you Ronan

  • is googoodolls the real original?

  • yeah...goo goo dolls is the original!!

  • yes

  • i had been recently wondering if its possible to spoil IRIS......

    i know now that it is...

  • GGD > Boyceavenue > Ronan Keating

  • why ronan!? WHY!?

  • Wonderful..But The Version Of Goo Goo Dolls Is The Best

  • in some ways this song is better than the original but its the Goo Goo dolls song and you cant top that

  • Haha you are kidding aren't you. Leave the jokes to the comedians. I like Ronan Keating but this is shithouse. John Rzeznick wouldn't waste time in the bathroom listening to this. Goo Goo Dolls own this song and anyone else who does it are trying to get there piece of cash from a great song by the Goo Goo Dolls

  • i love ronan , but when i listened to goo goo dolls about a year ago i was like OMG and havent listened to this version till now , and since I heard GGD 's its become my favourite song :):)

  • It's not bad, but he doesn't sound like he's feeling it. Not bad for a cover.

  • love this song and ronan sings it really well,i think people shud lay off him!!

  • It's a good rendition it's not bad at all. It's just that goo goo dolls can really bring out the emotion from this song.

  • Yeah, the original is alot better. I mean this isn't too bad, but this version isn't not something i would casually listen to. during the chorus his voice sounds really whiny.

    GGD's FOR LIFE :D

  • Ronan sings lovely but this song should be the way it is sand by Goo Goo Dolls...that version is magical!

  • WTH THERE'S A HORSE/

  • hmm i think it sounds as good as the original

  • Look, he sang it well, there's no denying he has a great voice; but it just lacks in emotion. Even the strings aren't as potent and awe-inspiring as the original...

    3/5

  • its ok...but it will NEVER BEAT GOO GOO DOLLS

    thr had so much feeling in that version...this just doesnt do it...

  • Personally,its an average version. Ronan Keatin is not designed for this kinda pop-rock explosive and electronics-studded souding song. He should stick to his love sentimental songs like 'when you say nothing at all. Sorry Ron,Goo Goo doll is better at this.

  • this is even worse than avril lavign's version this is not how this song is supposed to be sung he doesn't even mean what hes singing only thee goo goo dolls can properly produce a version of this song.

  • at least he has his own sound and doesnt try to sound like everyone else

  • what the hell... ok this version sucks...

  • What an ugly remake of Iris...

  • i know this is completely random and irelavent but did anyone notice tht the video was filmed in dubai:P I live in Dubai so thats how i noticed :P

  • This is the best song I know from Ronan Keating and I think is much better than the original.

    Awesome version of a good song!!!!

  • I Love The Song...Tho The Goo Goo Dolls Are So Much Better At This Song.... In My Opinion Ronan Has Totally Killed The Song ... He Should Stick To His Own Songs...!!!

  • I love this song...i love ronans version of it..u take what u want from it..i know i do!!

  • ayy look sorry I already commented, but I dient comment on the song and video, Ronan this song is perfect for you, the lyrics explain everything that you and your family went through back in 1998, may she rest in peace, and this version is amazing thanks for doing this cover it was just to good, and the video is just to good as well, like the horse and you on top of the bulding and the beach, it all just took my breath away, I'd bowe down to you (sorry for the crap speling)

  • ohk I don't get it any song that has ever been covered people say yer thats really cool, but when a boyband like boyzone westlife and take that do a cover, and singers like Ronan Keating and all do a cover people say its shit, well all I think of those people are just losers who can't get a fucking life and who don't know good music, just accept that Ronan covered this song because he knows how to make songs better, I don't see you out there for 15 years sing legendary songs and making it better

  • You do know that Ronan Keating is apart of Boyzone right? LOL. :)

  • lol um yes I do know that, ayy your talking to one of Boyzone's biggest fans here lol jks

  • I totally agree with you! Although I like Ronan, he fucked up the song!!!!

  • BRASIL (português): "- imitação.... mas, muito bom este videoclip! "

    .

    .

    EUA (inglês): "- cover... but very good this videoclip!!! "

  • I Just hate this cover! im sorry bro make your own songs!! also the video is not releated at all with the original one! jajajaja

  • i think this is better then the original

  • finaly somebody agrees with me

  • both are great :)

  • wow queer

  • O HE IS SINGING IT FOR ME!!!

    very nice song

  • wow DUBAI!!!!!!!! ^_^

  • Why he's covering great songs, he can't make his own one? "Time after time" and "Iris" is waaay more better in original. When I hear stupid covers on radio it makes me sick.

    Now u can insult me and my comment ;]

  • dont get why everyones pissed of with ronan keating for covering this i mean no 1 is pissed off with new found glory or boyce avenue,i think all the versions are good but this is more than a song its the goo goo dolls identity no matter who covers it : )

  • Wow...why comment on this if you are just going to be rude and shit??

  • Just because other people don't have the same views as you on a video does not mean that they should be deprived of the right to express their opinions. If people want to be 'rude and shit', then that's their choice. Your not in a position of authority to say that they can't. If you want to conform to other peoples' perceptions on a video, then that is your choice; don't bring other people down with you. Jeez..

  • they do have rights but their is a fine line between having an opinion and trashing someones music, just because some people can trash an artists work , doesnt mean they should

  • Boyce avenue's version is better then both

  • Uhm well, i found the original from the Goo Goo Dolls waaay better.

    This Ronan guy really must have it from the scenery in the clip.

    There is also nothing special about his voice which stands out to having a rocking song.

  • Theres no rock spirit in it. Sorry.

  • maybe it's not that meant to be rock.

  • cocksuckin asslickin ... GOO GOO DOLS RULEZZZZ ...

    GET OFF THEIR SONG BITCH!

  • gay??

  • "and i dont want the world to see me, cuz Ronan Keating is a fag" - My remix, This dude blows write a song then make a video, Stop stealing songs and ruining them. I use to like this song now i just wish the goo goo dolls would suffocate you with your dads dirty underwear..

    ps. I hate your face Ronan you suck more than Elton John but at least he is all physical about it.

  • Awesome song and video. Location Dubai right ?

  • nothing on the goo goo dolls.. when they sing it there is so much more feeling.

    this just seems like hes reading the lyrics from a piece of paper shoved in his face from some money grubbing producer.. sounds shit..

  • Goo goo dolls does this song best, but tonan does it ok.

  • lol tonan

  • its one of best songs ever written, i think anyone could get away with singing it tbh

  • the verdict on iris,

    goo goo dolls - yes

    new found glory - yes

    ronan - no , sorry.

  • A good take on the song, though I doubt anyone will do it better than Goo Goo Dolls.

  • profanation

  • HIS VOICE IS MY GODNESS!!!

    i simply adore his songs!!

  • nothing compared to the original song... the Goo Goo Dolls are way better!

  • Usually a cover is better then orignal. This one doesnt seem to.

  • i love this song *-*

  • amore...ti penso sempre qnd ascolto questa kanzone.....6 la mia vita...ti amo

  • Ronan's original songs are not cool, Goo Goo dolls song by Ronan Keating IS cool. I'm sure Ronan CAN write good songs too....Ronan: listen to Goo Goo dolls MORE so you'll made up a good song soon

  • Goo Goo Dolls did not give permission to Ronan Keating to do this song, and make money off it. Goo Goo Dolls were performing live a few times, and they had mentioned that they had NOT given Ronan permission. He's so lucky that he wasn't sued for copyright.

    Shame on you Ronan Keating.

  • I LOVE the lyrics.. and the video is lovely too :)

  • OMG!!!!! he so perfeeeeect!!

  • He sings very well, there's no doubt, but my God, Goo Goo Dolls are so much better...By Ronan is just another beautiful love song, by Goo Goo Dolls is simply a song that make your knees tremble and your eyes wet...Undescribable feeling!!!

  • There is no comparison with Goo Goo Dolls original version...they are simply divine.

    But I appreciate Ronan's cover.

  • its good to c no one fighting over who's better. its amazing that EVERYone agrees this song shudnt b covered. i like the vid though.

  • ok, i'm really sorry to you ronan fans, but this, compared to the goo goo dolls, sucks. ronan isn't a bad singer at all, but NO ONE can recreat the masterpiece that is IRIS. sorry, but it's true!

  • Agreed 100%. =)

  • I agree but if you think of Ronan as a Goo Goo Dolls fan singing the song best he can, it's a great cover. Better than Boyce Avenue's..

  • 2 completely different styles between the 2...you really cant compare then.

  • ronan you rnot really good. hahah i do totally respect the love in music u have..u almost have it just need a little more strength and soul in ur voice.

  • only one word.

    WHY ?

  • Ronan Keating is an amazing singer, but iris isn't meant to be coverd.

    if ronan can't then nobody can. The version of the goo goo dolls is just perfect.

  • Who is this guy?

    He should be Embarrassed. No really he should

  • vergogna te... who are you? Ronan is the best!

  • WANKER!

  • Omg it sounds horrible as compared to the Original!!

  • oh please. it doesn't sound horrible. He hit all the right notes didn't he? He just has a different style of singing compared to the Goo Goo Dolls. All in all, he wasn't bad.

  • He is so gorgeous! but what a horrible voice! he should be a model instead of a "singer".

  • Ronan Keating has quite a good voice. He's a lead singer in Boyzone. The only thing is... Goo Goo Dolls sings that song too successfully so that he can not compete with them

  • he is ok, but it misses the power from the goo goo dolls, this does not get to me.

  • i don't like it when artists take covers and make it thier own single... and its like only 9 years apart with the Goo goo doll Iris song..

  • Doesn't make it any better that Ronan didn't even ask lead vocalist Johnny Rzeznik permission to cove the song.

  • this song is the best.... the original 1 and this 1 both rocks :)

  • i think this is so much better. i don't care what people say. its calmer... although the video sucks... its beautiful.

  • It's fucking so hard :(

    Why do they have to ruin the best songs?...

  • amo esta cancion ...aunk la original de goo goo dolls tambien me encanta.....jejej

  • OMG, destroyed it. Absolutely destroyed an incredible song, WTH is this? The music is awful too. This is proof that some songs are not meant to be covered, this is one of those incredible songs that no one else can do justice to

  • NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! I Goo goo dolls si ucciderebbero solo per il gusto di rivoltarsi nella tomba!

  • shut up most u hate him cause he is irish

    its the same as the goo goo dolls

    SPAS

  • he killed this song....the song has a meaning and he just argh hes so...ARGH!!!!

  • it makes me cry, i like ronan and this video is amazing..I love when he's ridding a horse

  • i like the goo goo dolls version more,

    but this version ain't that bad either..

  • meglio i goo goo però ronan ha fatto un buon lavoro!

  • i love the goo goo dolls

    this is just crap...

    anyone knwo why its called iris though?

  • tres belle chanson <3

  • dude you suck omg ill put a cover up and it will be 100 times better then this crap and i wont even try.

  • Ronan's cover version of Iris is dreadful. Especially when he sings the chorus.

  • i made a cover of this song too

    you guys should let me know what you think. :)

  • it's absolutely nót unemotional. I love it!

  • gonna be my wedding song!!

  • brill song

  • how is the video related to the song anyway???

  • Ronan ROCKS

  • im not a goo goo dolls or a ronan keating fan, but the goo version is better

  • Ele fez esse clipe pra pegá muié!

  • i like the goo goo dolls version better... Ronans sounds so... unemotional.

  • dude u stole this song.....go the goo goo dolls

  • Ronan Keating is a cover artist.

  • ya but he didnt ask 4 permission

  • lol good answer

  • wow did he go on a 'song covering spree' or what.

  • Who the heck is this flippin' pansy...

    John Rzeznik was flat out right...this guy is a hack...

    He needs to stops "covering" other people's original and good music and keep on belting out his own meaningless shit.

    I didn't think it was possible to ruin such a beautiful song as Iris...

    Grats Keating...grats on being a goober.

    It's a shame that such an interesting video has to be presented with such a horrible voice.

  • dude, chill...

  • this is in dubai i can see the man-made islands and the ship like hotel

  • the whole vid . was made in dubai

  • I think it was made in dubai, on the place were a helicopter can come down, it's in this special hotel with 7*...

  • yeah...the 7* is called burj-al-arab

  • oh my God!this video is amazing *___*

    what is this place? where did they shoot it?

  • The place is Dubai.I love Ronan *-* and

    wonderful video,thanks for posting.

  • i guess its the man made islands in dubai which are being made in the shape of Earth comprising every nation's shape

  • omg this song is soooooo beautiful ^^

  • Nice comb-over. =P

    I really like his voice. The orchestral backup really adds something to the song. The shots in this video are absolutely beautiful. I can't say I like either version better, though...

  • marry me ronan

  • this has 2 b my favourte song cant stop singin 2 it!!

  • I prefer the goo goo dolls version...
