Ronan Keating is perfection

"I was familiar with the Alison Krauss version of this song...and I liked it, it was very beautiful. But Ronan Keating made this song mesmerizing for me when he graced his beautiful voice with it. Every note this man sings comes deep from his heart and his soul. The Irish touch in this song also made it special. Let's face it, Alison Krauss' version of this song hardly went anywhere except for the country music charts here in the states. Ronan took this song international, and he did it beautifully and professionally. Ronan's unique voice is an absolute treasure. What's a travesty it that this man is not more well known here in the states. But if he has to be my wonderful secret, that's fine with me."
Inspiring - Beautiful

"When searching for music for my wedding 3 weeks ago I was listening to the Notting Hill soundtrack - again and was struck completely mesmerized by the rendition of Ronald Keatings, "When You Say Nothing At All". I sang that very song to my wife at our wedding and everyone loved it - including my wife. I took all of my cues from Ronald's style. I have since heard Allison Kraus's rendition and not liking C&W very well it did not appeal to me the same way that Ronald Kraus's version did. His style is so warm and soothing whereas Allison's is so twangy with her country style. I realize that Ronald is also a country artist but he can be entertaining to all venues. The entire Notting Hill CD has some wonderful titles on it and I highly recommend it."
Voice Gives Me Chills

"I first heard Ronan sing as a solo artist on the Notting Hill Soundtrack. "When You Say Nothing At All" actually brought tears to my eyes. Ronan has one of the most, extraordinary voices to come along in a long time. I am trying to think of someone I can compare Ronan to, however off the top of my head the only other artist that makes me feel the same way when I listen to her music is a young Barbra Streisand. His voice is very smooth and rich sounding and hopefully it will only get better with age. I also own a couple of the Boyzone CD's, of which Ronan is a member. I hope he continues with a solo career because it's a shame his voice is hidden amongst other group members. I saw an Elton John interview where he highly praised Ronan. That's about as good as it gets!! The U.S. is definitely ready for more Ronan CD's. Hopefully, with more support in the U.S. the prices of the imports will decrease. However, he is definitely worth paying extra to hear."
The Ultimte Love Song

"Love songs couldn't be better than Ronan Keating's "Nothing At All". Everything is so brilliant and amazingly rich about this song that you come back again and again to this wonderful,wonderful track.
The lyrics are marvellous and touch the deepest of the heart's chords and make them accomplish the hop,the skip and the jump. The voice of Ronan Keating is perfectly suitable to the track and in his deep voice,we get the whispers of the wonders of Boyzone and indeed ths track was made whilst the band was still in function. Ronan Keating is a fantastic solo artist,possibly better than Robbie Williams. He has shown over and over again that he has several dimensions to his music's personality and this track is undoubtably the best of Ronan Keating.
The songs captures the whole essence of love and is the perfect one to be sung to your loved one and to illustrate your love for her. The music stagnates in your heart and you keep on mumbling the tune long after you have ceased your music system.
