"Ronan Keating is certainly the man of the year. While his comrade Stephen Gately's debut (and impressive) solo album came and sank without a trace, Ronan has surfaced with a beautiful debut album, and an exceptionally relaxing and hummable first single.As Boyzone's most desirable and most respectable performer, Ronan hit it off solo with his single in 'Notting Hill', but this single is a vast improvement, showing us that his songwriting and singing just keep getting better and better. A commendable effort, and at the end of the day, this is what music is all about.I listen to this song when I come back from work and want to unwind. Highly recommended to anyone with an interest in pop music thats likely to withstand the test of time."
Oh Life sure is a Joyful Ride..so Come aboard ! :))))))))))

"Sad ?..Grumpy ? ..All out love ? ..Tensions ? ..Fassads ? ...Feeling low and hopeless ? . WELL DON'T BE ! That's what Ronan's new single has to offer. " Life is a rollercoaster " and i totally agree..We only live once..and we have to make the best of it through the thick and thin , c'est la vie . Coming back to the single , It's very very catchy and is filled with a lot of hope and encouragement , I think its one perfect song to get you in a good mood and a good start in whatever you do. Play it morning , afternoon , evening , night..it sure is gonna make you smile all the way. The cd also includes the karaoke version of the track which is great for you to test your vocal cords and have fun singing with your friends and family members. This second release from Ronan according to me will be a huge hit and which is not gonna get out of your system.Play the song now..or play it after few years..You are still gonna love it. For those who haven't bought the single and are waiting with anticipation for his album release ( which also includes this single ) , i suggest still pick up the part 2 of the single cd , cuz the song is definitly worth the buy and the karaoke version absolutely rocks ! .The other unreleased tracks are pretty good too..but nothing like the Title track. A Good Attempt by this young artist , who apart from his successful career in Boyzone , is also doing amazingly well in his solo career. There is no stopping his successful RollerCoaster..Lets hope his solo album breaks all records as well and also conquers the American music charts.Ronan Keatings " Life is a rollercoaster " , the second single , Buy it for yourself..Gift it to your loved ones..cuz in the end what would matter most to you that it made you and them smile."
Fun stuff

"To be honest, Ronan could record any song and it would sound excellent, due to those AMAZING Irish vocals of his. But "Life Is a Rollercoaster" isn't bad at all. The lyrics are rather simplisic, but the song itself is simplistic, both in sound and words. It's defnitely a great song to wake up to and will put you in a good mood - enough to last the morning anyway. After a few listens, you won't be able to get it out of your head. "Thank God I Kissed You" is typical Boyzone/Ronan lovey-dovey slush - you can bet he probably wrote this one for his wife. "Thank god I kissed you, that I touched you, that I met you, now I love you..well I'm hooked on you and without you I'm insane" Well, those in love can probably relate to this one. As for me, I'm off to listen to the title track again!"
