    The Ronan Keating/Moya Brennan version is one of the few covers that could justly be described as better than the original.

    Christy Moore sang it in Vicar street two weeks ago and dedicated it to the LGBT community lol. His version is pretty decent too.

    I wouldn't expect people on hear to know anything about music. Unlike Shane MacGowan, at least Ronan Keating can hold a note. It's an exquisite cover that breathed new life into a jaded song.

    Ronan has butchered every song he ever covered. Fortunately, fairytale was ****e to begin with.

    Beyond me how anyone could think "you're a squirrel cause you're nuts" was a line worth writing down, let alone record in a song and release to the world.

    There are singers and bands not yet born who will have a go at this classic.

    Let them at it I say.

    I wouldnt mind that, it's just bad.... bad all round even if it kept the original lyrics it would be the worst version I've heard, by far. Even Ronan fücking Keating had a bit of, something, to add to it

    EDIT, I actually had to listen to the Ronan Keating version to cleanse my ears after listening to that shıte

    Don't censor art a message I conveyed 2 years ago is so important it should be international law.


    Ronan botched many a song in his time but his rendition of Fairytale of New York should be used only for torture purposes.

    Are you the one who came up with the idea that art shouldn't be censored? Two whole years ago? Fair play to you. Maybe give it another 6 months to catch on, I'm sure the UN are just getting around to it.
