Boyzone, is honest from the start of his biographyLife is A Rollercoasterwhen he confesses: "I'm only 23, so this is not exactly what you'd call an autobiography! It's too soon to start writing my memoirs." But in all honesty, this is just whatLife is a Rollercoasteris, and while he is barely older than a lot of his fans, the Boyzone star has a lot of stories to tell about what has so far been a rather spectacular career. There are also some revealing incidents, such as Ro (as he is referred to by his friends) meeting up with his idols, fellow Irish rockers U2, coping with rumours about his sexuality and the Boyzone boys crafting aMission: Impossiblestyle escape plan to avoid paying an 80 pound phone bill in their early, less affluent days. It also covers some more recent developments in the Keating and Boyzone camps, including Stephen Gately's outing ("We all knew from the start that Stephen was gay") and Ronan's management career with another hot Irish property, Westlife. The real meat of the book comes from the recollections of Ronan's relationship with his mother, a relationship tragically cut short when she died of cancer just as the group was getting off the ground. His heartfelt memories are both touching and recounted with a restrained dignity; never does he pity himself or mourn too long for what he lost, rather he celebrates the time he spent with her. Fans of Ronan and indeed Boyzone will pore over every word and photograph and for a straightforward pop biography it works very well. Just like the man himself, it is charming, laid back and distinctly uncontroversial.--Jonathan Weir

Lost For Words Review of10 Years Of Hits - Ronan Keatingby
Invisible_Friend
Advantages: A showcase of a fine ten years Disadvantages: Many tracks sound the same
Ronan Keating has become a household name; I’ll be very surprised if anyone hasn’t heard of him. We met Ronan, many years ago as part of the legendary group Boyzone. Along with Keith Duffy, now actor, Stephen Gately, who has not had a good time with the press, Mikey Graham and Shane Lynch, Ronan sung what at the time were power ballads and what we all now know to be soppy love songs, written by other people. Together they released many top selling ... ...break up of the infamous Boyzone Ronan, began a fantastic solo career. On 21 July 2000 he released his debut solo album Ronan. This was re-released 23 April 2001, a year later he released Destination on 20 May 2002. His latest release was Turn It On on 17 November 2003. And now we have the best of album. His career has progressed well. Some of the tracks on this album have the classic Boyzone sound, this may be down to all popular pop music having ...

...and friends is called Ronan 10 years of hits and features all his top hits as well as 3 new versions from the Boyzone days which he has recorded solo. The album was a massive hit staying in the top ten of the album charts for 9 weeks. So what's on the album TRACK 1 - When You Say Nothing At All This was the soundtrack to Nottinghill and this is one of these songs where you hear his strong voice. TRACK 2 - Life Is A Rollercoaster
This was one of ... ...song. TRACK 10 - SHE BELIEVES (IN ME)
This Kenny Rogers Classic was performed brilliantly by Ronan and again it brought his distinctive voice out. TRACK 11 - LAST THING ON MY MIND
Another duet, this time with LeAnn Rimes, although I have said that I think Ronan should stick to Solo the the powerful voice of LeAnn alongside Ronan's pulled it off perfectly. TRACK 12 - FATHER AND SON
The first of the Boyzone tracks to be sung solo by Ronan which ...

Advantages: Great songs, easy listening, fantastic! Disadvantages: None
...songs so I love his 10 years of songs CD! The songs are mainly easy listening love songs / boy band type songs and I like them because they always have beautiful lyrics which tell a meaningful story or message. They also sound really personal like he has written them about his own feelings and he has even used his wife in the video for "If Tomorrow Never Comes" and wrote "There's Somebody Else Now" after the birth of his son.
Track 1 - When You ... ...Can't Find the Words
Track 10 - While She Lay Sleeping
These aren't my favourites on the CD but I'll still listen to them!
Track 11 - Last Thing On My Mind
Duet with Leann Rimes. A story about a girl leaving and saying sorry was the last thing on their minds. I also like Leann Rimes so it was a given that I would like this song!
Track 12 - Father to Son
Track 13 - Words
Track 14 - Baby Can I Hold You Tonight
These songs sound a bit funny ...

It also has some Boyzone tracks that he has re recorded on his own like: Words, Baby can I hold you and Father and son feat Yusuf (formally known as Cat Stevens).
This is a great cd especially ... ...of ballads and boppy music.
Most of the songs on the cd you will know so I can guarantee that you will end up singing along to them.
This cd is not just for women! I have managed to convert my 40 year old brother and my teenage nephews. Now they are big Ronan fans.
This cd costs between £9.99 and £12.99 depending where you buy it so it pays to shop around. But with 17 tracks on this cd it is well worth the price.
This cd combines all of Ronans ...
