Ronan Keating

Ronan Keating (March 3 1977 Dublin) is an Irish singer who was one of the members of the boy-band Boyzone. Ronan was the singer of Boyzone from 1994 until 1999 when he started his solocareer.

He was also the founder and manager of the band Westlife. In 1997 Ronan was co-presenter of the Eurovision Song Contest in Dublin and he performed during the interval-act together with Boyzone.

In 2003 Ronan Keating wrote one of the four songs for the Irish national final. His song I Couldn't Love You More became third. I think Ronan should have sung the song himself cause Michael Leonard, who was chosen to sing Ronan's song sang out of tune during the whole 3 minutes. I Couldn't Love You More is one of my favourite songs ever from the Irish pre-selections.


In 2009 Ronan wrote the song Believe again for the Danish pre-selection for the ESC. Brick sang the song and won the Danish national final and came 13th at the ESC.

In 2010, Ronan recorded Believe Again as a duet with Australian Idol-star Paulini.
