    Ronan -- Love the new Hairstyle, the new look, the mature voice and, especially, the new confidence. You've become a handsome and talented young man. Time to go back to BGT and show 'em what they've been missing. The passion you put into your songs could move mountains. Normally a huge Jazz fan, I absolutely loved what you did with Etta's song. Now that you're old enough, I hope you've found someone to share your life and your happiness. Best of luck always in everything you do from a long-time fan in Boston, Mass., USA.

    let me tell you something i have been around for a long time (i listened to prince at the same time the world heard it for the first time - and loved him for it) being great in music isn't always about knowing the words, playing the right notes or looking better the most human beings (janis joplan gave that lesson to the world) what makes one great is feeling and living the music and sharing it so that we all can feel that greatness. and kid i have watched you from your beginning and you are really good and i have become one of your fans. but this has to be by far the best thing you have given us so far. you made me cry watching this. you have a beautiful voice, face and way of owning a song. now i am waiting for you to break out with your own songs and see if you truly can give us greatness. good luck with life!!!

    I have heard many versions,cover of Purple Rain here on youtube , some very famous , some less, this is absolutely the best and deserves a better record , here is voiceless effects , no autotune , a very simple musical basis but the result is so extraordinary , Ronan Parke thanks

  • @lawrencebarrow9163
    @lawrencebarrow9163 Před 7 lety +1

    Six years have passed from BGT 2011 and no pop or teen pop singer has appeared with a voice like this. Also there was no such thing before. Now you sing Prince best than Prince. Not only did not the voice change ruin you, but you sang better than ever. What about the music industry, recording companies and the taste of people in recent years? That this guy has not been a No. 1 is a shame.

    I am a huge fan since I first saw your audition for BGT. I love all of your covers and especially your song 'Defined'. Great melody and message. I shared it on social media because I think more people should get to know your beautiful voice. And it got even more powerful and mature in this rendition. I love it! Sending love from Germany

  • @charlesstein1912
    @charlesstein1912 Před 7 lety

    Ronan, you have always had the most beautiful smile and the most magnificent, feeling heart I've ever seen. I noticed this in your 2011 Britain's Got Talent audition video. Your empathic, loving nature and your uncompromising dedication to what the human soul most needs to hear, is what makes your voice such a miracle. Still, sight unseen, I'd let you lead me anywhere; your voice contains all the goodness that I can see in your smile. Only a handful of artists can do what you can. Your power and passion evokes tears, and so do the nuanced emotional phrases that add so much detail to your delivery. And, the purity of your notes that spring out of the air without the tiresome ramping and adjusting that other artists require to zero-in on a difficult note, is so pleasant to listen to; it allows your audience to focus on the feelings you're communicating. So, like everyone who hears you sing, "I feel you!!! And, I love you."

    Thank You Ronan! Definitely a very special tribute to Prince-I am sure Prince is smiling down on you from the heavens above. I, too, have been enjoying our music ever since you sang in the 2011 Britain's Got Talented audition (that was really awesome only being 12 years old) and through the years you only seem to get better and better. Thank You so much for all you do.

    I am happy to see many fans coming back on fb making good comments. I follow Ronan since his debut at BGT and like thousands of people, I loved his voice. He was harassed about his sexuality when he was only 12 - 13 years old. What stupidity. When you love a singer or someone else, privacy does not matter. But he was young and it hurt his popularity and success. He is now over 18, he has changed and his voice too, but I'm sure he still has talent and he will come back with songs that fit his new voice. Ronan Parke, you put tears in my eyes at BGT, then go on your way, and Just GOOD LUCK Ronan

    @Ronan Parke your voice is excellent and has developed marvelously in tone and depth.
    I would BEG of you to PLEASE cover a Janis Joplin song as your voice and your gift was truly meant to sing the Blues. YOU are so soulful I can see that you "feel" all the lyrics.
    You were definitely meant to sing the blues among others, but that is your strength truly.
    G-d truly did bless and love you with this talent. :) :)
