Ronan Keating - I Hope You Dance: Video

[hubbubb]

look mate to say someone looks like an ape is not malicious - it's merely stating 'fact' - might be shallow but whatever. to call them an ape or to imply they have the IQ or are sub-dominant in some ways - that's racist.

[prplmunster]

I think im going to sing this for my senior solo!!!!!

[xxxFiiOnNaxxx]

i lovw this songg

who cares hes good so what (:

[queena25]

is it me or all this guy does is sing other peoples songs

[XxXxXSephirothxXxXxX]

If he sings it, he got permission, which means the original singers viewed him good enough to re-sing their songs. Thats good enough for me.

[augustbluesky]

hes good so who cares

[rbolo29]

Younger ladies want to be INSPIRED by others so they can achieve their own wants, needs, goals and to have hope in being happy with their success.

[khal86id]

what a great song ..... makes me want to do some thing,

I LOVE Ronnan (songs)

[MsPink67]

[Foreverempress]

I totally agree he IS good-lookin

[haileysgarden]

Excellent video

[ActerGirl]

i like lee an better she sounds like she put more of her heart in this

[isthisazoo]

@ ActerGirl

I totally agree! I like this version but it feels like it is lacking emotion compared to hers...

[Blubberfreek]

this is a good version of the song though

it makes people think

[Kyle41989]

Major Editing!!!!

[DuckeyToast]

Always loved Ronan ,, always loved this song (L)

Songing it for my Music GCSE xxx

[far71991]

I like

[CurumoTheGreat]

I like Ronan... but I still LOVE Lee Ann's version better...

[elliculucille]

i love the lyrics, the melody and the singer of this song....great

[t4soshine]

I like this video better than LeeAnn Womack's video.

[eaglemania75]

my 3 1/2 year old little girl princess took her last breath in my arms when she past away 6 months ago and i hope youre dancing in heaven baby i miss you cianna you will always be with me until we meet again from daddy.

[gupi26]

Lee Ann's version in forever better. If people are going to do covers make something interesting!

[sailorjupiter1122]

i have to sing this song for choir

[rascalflattsbigfan]

glad u chose country music to sing

[rascalflattsbigfan]

beuitful, simple buetiful. u have a great vioce and it sound exactly like lee ann womack. a great video. this song it the song that my dad showed me and u bring back memories it almost makes me cry

[brattyteen1]

Never heard of him. But hes awesome and HAWT!!!!!!!!

[YT102008]

This is LeeAnn Womack's number 1 pop/country hit in 2000. This guy really likes American country music. He's done several of them. Great to see him singing them. Most country music comes from the soul that's why I like it too.

[JillHutchinson]

I have never heard of this guy or a male version of this song! He & the song ROCK!!!

[gueta2]

for a male version...love his version a lot...=)

[alyssaacullenn]

I love this version<3

[cunn16]

I worked with Ronan on this video - it was shot in windsor great park, on a bloody cold day!

[Midnight8595]

this is a better video, but lee ann songs this song better

[sm4ever]

agreed! (:

[clearlyu2]

I like it. His video is much better than the one with Lee Ann Womack.

[persnality]

i'm gonna make a remake of this video with my kids

[freakofavrillavigne]

He's cute, his accent makes this song amazing! Wow, beautiful

[Xavier7able]

Hey song is great both ways....:)

[lovingangil]

well sorry folks his is better for me it is more touching i love his better

[michaellucky22]

I like Lee Ann Womack's version better, but this is still really good.

[Rambo2936]

lee ann womack version is better this is still good

[mafaamad25]

lee ann womack alll the wayy!!!! but u are good also..

[BlazinSaddleMan]

its a fucking gay

[Elentari86]

I prefer Lee Ann Womack's version but it's such a beautiful song either way. He did a good job. I appreciate that he changed the arrangement too. I hate it when artists cover a song but do it exactly the same as the original - what's the point?

[quierochocolateful]

i love ronan keating and his version but Lee Ann Womack´s version is realy nice to.

[xcloud101]

ihope u dance:]

[cabenzie]

I actually like listening to guy sing this song.

[malijsanteles]

Lee Ann Womack sings this song better for me...sorry :)...but this guy could grow on peoples.

[chunksofpaper]

it's ok but i think that lee ann womack's version is better. but this is still ok =)

[mimus4u2]

u r amazingggggggggggg

[hineta101]

i love this song and i love his voice

[Lillparaa19]

lekkerding!!!!!!!!!!!

[Lc2good4u]

this guy makes me melt, the whole package...

[MerlimBretz]

Ohhh Ronan you make me dance, sing, cry, smile, dream. You make me happy. No one have a great voice like yours. Ronan forever!!

[chocchip1800]

I must admit, while both versions are amazing, this one in particular touches me. I don't know what it is, but something about his version moves me emotionally, where I didn't get that from the other one. But all this arguement is pointless, because it's a matter of opinion, so no one is right or wrong.

God bless!

♥ Lizzie

[TheDodgeMom]

great song..he does it justice.. :)

[soccerlover703aditya]

Great song....

[Frienze7]

This is a beautiful version. I don't understand the negative comments. =/ Lee Ann's is wonderful, so is this.

[sk8terchic013]

YES:)

[yehimslimshady78]

ok i stand corrected, so he is the writer/lyisist but u know thats why God made wrters and singers, and nary the two should meet, not usually anyways

[yehimslimshady78]

come on guys, i know hes kinda cute and all but his version is too fast, way too fast for this particular song, he covers alot of country tunes, makes me think he is comme artist trying to make a break into the big scene by covering anything and everything he gets his hands on, i mean really, he should get withh the frogs out by my pond, they r waiting for him to join them and kill another country great, pa-lease!!!!!!!!!

[piggletbriss]

i like his version better!!

[mikeyymortality]

he is a disgrace to this song and he should of never sung it

[bookcreator]

When I first heard this song, I thought of a dad singing this more than a mom so his version makes more sense to me. I know that sounds sounds sexist but... Maybe it's because this sounds like something my dad would think and say to me than my mom...

[cArNaVaLGirL3195]

i agree!!!!

[slowwgirl]

i think he is better

[alli0434]

is he country i have never heard of him before. Good but I do like Leanne Womacks verison better

[halfaddict]

This song sucks more that this fag covers it.

[Daydreamer998]

Ronan is excellent.

I think he puts his heart into singing it.

Sooo emotional and you really understand his point.

His version is better

[rebbbel1980]

I agree but I also think they are both good.

[swim4pilot]

ppl he is the one who wrote the song

[iCarlyRockslikeH20]

the best guy version of this song ever, Best GUY verison

[Sw33tChing]

hehe i like it...well yh the original's better but this is pretty good!

[Sayers1991]

this version is alright but the original is soo much better

[kaykayzz73]

i thought he was rlly good!

[angelface64]

lee ann womack is BETTER but i dont think this dude is BAD. its just womack puts more emotion and thought into it when she sings it

[WhyYouSo]

What a horrible rendition of a beautiful song.

Womack sang the sh** out of this song...she put so much emotion and happiness and JOY into it. This version feels monotone and dead.

[cinthos]

well i wouldnt say horrible, its just a lil different, it may not have the same impact 4 u, but 4 some1 else, maybe it was just wat they needed

[WhyYouSo]

Maybe so...I guess Guys need their version too.

That was just MY opinion...it wouldn't be here if people didn't like it.

[cinthos]

ok, fair enough

[swim4pilot]

he wrote the song and lee ann womack wanted to sing it...they both sound really good

[WhyYouSo]

Oh okay...I give him props for writing the song.

It IS interesting to hear the writers of songs sing it.

And OKAY, it wasn't so horrible...just used to hearing Womack's version.

I can dig hearing a dude sing this to me :-P

[hotcookie19]

I agree. :)

[Angelic28]

He did not write this son Tia Sillers and Mark Sanders did. I like Ronan but Womack's version is way superior to this, there are those who disagree but everybody has their opinion.

[HaniGirl02]

he did NOT write the song, he just did a cover of it. Wiki it.

[TheCanaanite]

I thought this was going to be a parody. Why would this guy think he could put a good enough spin on this Womack tune to be credible? Oh well, milktoast is about right for a boy band member.

[hagiwolfe]

um this is ok but Lee Ann Womack is still better

[logicronix]

Sang by Keating or womack..these are powerful healing lyrics.This song puts you in a creative state of mind. Good Job Womack

[lilcoqui2x4]

Um Sarah Mclaughlin does this soooooooo much better

[thtsshowbiz]

she doesnt sing this song Lee Ann Womack does

[wheelingdude12]

yeah Lee Ann Womack's the original singer of said song, not Sarah Mclaughlin

[JevJev23]

inever knew he sang this also..

[windchaser12]

Ya know...each has their own style of presenting a great song. Quit bickering o'er something so sweet in words that anyone could be moved. Grow up...imps!

[lizzzyd1]

he's adorable when he smiles :)

[PrecariousPettifog]

I don't know, I like both versions, they both bring their own part to the song, which is so beautiful no matter who sings it :)

[stan673]

to all the haters, who comment negatively about this video...this is a nice song and both singers (lee Ann womack and Ronan Keating) did a great job

[DarkHeart135]

I do prefer Lee Ann Womack's better, but he didn't do a bad job at all.

[bundysarah]

he did a really good job at this song!

[RandieeRain]

he didnt do bad,he did really good<3

[BlondeClarity]

UUHG Just AWFUL what he did to this song!

[6151RichmondStreet]

Lee Ann's version is far better. The arrangement is far better and Lee Ann has such an amazing voice.

[StaringBlanklyAhead]

i like this 10x more than lee's version. but thats just my opinion

[JRoca79]

Sweet song..amazing. I love it! the message of this song is very beautiful.Ronan is a great musician.

[pinkbeck1993]

he didn't make this tho, lee ann womack did. but yeah he's a good singer.

[Omfgz1tsJessica]

A schools choir digital camera horrible quality is better than this version

[Vinoshane]

Leann Womack's version is definitely better,this prick is forever singing through his nose,murdering other peoples songs.

[stan673]

why the hate??? it's a great song

[Vinoshane]

I agree with you ,the song is great, one of my favourites. Lee Ann Womack sings it great ,what I said was this prick is forever murdering other people's songs.singing through his nose.

[UmbrellaCoveredCity]

The hate is because its Ronan Keating.. Ugh. Personally, I think he's a disgrace to representing the Irish in the music industry.. But ay, to each their own..

[MensaMeme]

Totally agree. He's fucking up big time with these cover tunes.

[LarkieFranke]

Wow, Mr. Keating looks great, and I sense depth and compassion, strong, almost prayerful desire for good to whomever he sings, yet the mournful, hopeless aspect makes me cry. I feel an intense sadness, opportunity lost, like he's been deeply wounded, lost love or is in deep regret and lonely discouragement, is possibly fostering this condition. Had I only listened would I be so chagrined? Mr. Keating has a great voice, but could really use a healthy dose of JOY and HOPE. Abundant Life for Ronan!

[IHOPEYOUDANCE4ME]

this was made for a womans voice

[FluffyZombie86]

true but he did an awesome job with it as well

[bimokino]

his song is awesome though im used 2 lees version great song though

[saulofers]

I prefer his version... too much better than others I've already heard before... his voice is "what there is"!!

[saamiiaa]

sorry i v mean to give u an approval but clicked the wrong thing. i agree with u

[wweknot12299]

LEE ANN WOMACK IS WAY BETTER THEN HIM!!

[thehenhouse]

Gorgeous song.

Gorgeous words.

Gorgeous singer.

And I prefer this version. :) Each to their own, but Ronan is awesome

[QuietDesperation20]

he is hot!

[dannygokeyfan101]

danny gokey defenetly fitted that song

[sparkybango]

Danny Gokey sang this with more enthusiam!

[secretluver123454]

is it just me ....or does he get hotter s he gets older ....lol ...he is great ....and great vid !!!! <3

[singinshower]

Im a huge fan of Boyzone and think that Ronan has a great voice but this song just does not suit him after you hear Lee Ann Womak sing it. It just fits her and her voice. He is a great singer but this song just does not fit him. He has other great songs but this one is not one of them.

[dcballergirl01]

this make me cry, but i love it so much

[uuyyuuyy]

nice

but danny gokey sand it better

love danny

[ukgurlie77]

i lyk his version but hers is better

[ArkhamAsylum13]

That is a great song! Nicely done, my friend.

[adityaaka]

really a good song with a lovely peice of lyrics

[adeyemi15]

diz version good too

[raho1952]

this song is soooooo good!!!i luv it!!

[iluvchrisbrwon]

i ♥ this song so much!

[secretluver123454]

iz he the one from boyzone ????? the name sounds the same ....lol ....he is sooooo gorgy !! (gorgious) ..and he has a great voice !!

[PaprikaXD]

Yeah, he is the one from boyzone . x']

[Musclevideofreak]

I like this version too. He is a very handsome man.

[Taytana]

eww

[bugg53]

ick

[zatchstar90]

the back ground singers in this song cover up the front too much, and frankly they are better

[glsfmkm]

I like this version. I mean Lee Ann Womak`s voice suits the song better -a mother to her child - and it sounds more natural, but this mv has more feeling than lee ann`s did - like a father to his only daughter. It`s more specific.

[countrySTAR06]

does this guy have any songs of his own? lol he has videos for "iris" "i hope you dance" this i promise you" and non of them are his songs!

[missmona17]

LOL

[italiastar]

Danny Gokey sang this song!!!

[chrissCANNIBAL]

Bad cover. Lol.

[meDerwear]

nuuuu~ well.. i like it =P

but... i like the original better ^^

[SequelReviews]

Lee Ann Womack - I Hope You Dance way better lol

[xrentxobsessedx]

i like when danny gokey sang this song on american idol, he did it well.

[tinazpage817]

his voice is amazing

[countryboyon]

This JERK sure knows how to f&5k up a good country song.

[luvromi]

I love lee ann's voice better than his...

[jrw9876]

i like his video better than leighs but i liker her voice

[QueenyKay]

you should definately listen to gladys knight's version .

Different but more touching to me because of the interpretation

[meeka95]

wow i love his voice and he is not to bad looking either!

[XxGGirl14xX]

I was just wondering, does josh groban have a cover of this song? I think he would do it really well.

[starlite240]

i like the original way better though this verison is good too

[ZABARBiiE]

soooo cuteee

ii loveeee thiis song <3

[goldiloks08]

k so i like the background from the original (womack's version) better, but i like his voice better.

plus i love his accent and he's really handsome.

[synthura]

great song nd all nd the video is really sweet. but i think the video could just be better. It seems like kids and the phrase "i hope you dance" doesnt really fit together.

[camilletkpatton]

what this song is saying is that just in general they hope that people but kids in particular, appreciate life and take chances. "i hope you dance" means they literally hope they do, but also figuratively as well. beautiful song, original's much more touching in my opinion however.

[littlekenny6]

it sounds way better when lee ann womack sings it he sucks!

[saadgirl090407]

esta muy bien

[troylynd]

I love this song... great remake! And... Oh my... need to hear more from this guy! Great job Ronan!

[dbbasketball26]

rlly good remake

[funkiemonkey5217]

i love this song!

[huggys100]

amazing!!

[heartbreaker669]

this is awesome

[scarlettprentice]

I wondered if any of the kids in the video are his ? There was one I thought may be but I'm not sure exactly when the video was made.

[hubbubb]

hahahaha leighhhhW

50 Cent?

look at 50 cents features - what is good looking about him? he looks like an ape.

[scarlettprentice]

He does it for me, if you can show me an ape that looks like that I'd be very interested to see it. I assume you are stunningly attractive ?

[dubsac2]

I am the first to say that 50 cent is hell on the eyes, but to compare his features to that of an ape is tactless, especially during these times. We, as a people, are trying to move forward and beyond these racially insensitive epithets. You do know that comparing a person of color to an animal of sorts is the equivalent of calling that person out of his or her name, right? If you decide to respond, please don't do so maliciously. I'm just stating a mere fact.

[CountyLT76]

All Ronan does is remakes but damn he does them well

[pykkalo]

I don't mind... I think the majority of songs are remakes of someone else's songs. A lot of country songs started out as rock songs, and were covered by country artists...

[WatchMeWatchYYou]

great version..but not as great as the original

[angelalone13]

amazing song and voice!

[LeighhhW]

a man can be better looking :O

have you seen chris brown or 50 Cent :P
