I'd Rather Go Blind - Etta James - Cover by Ronan Parke 

damn this kid doesnt sing with hes vocals , he sings with hes heart !

This young man has a glorious voice. When he was 12 years old and appeared on TV I was, like so many other people, blown away by his voice. I have his CD on which he sings every song far better than the original ever was, including Songbird and Fix You. His voice, as a boy, was amazing, strong and powerful. Now that he's a man and his voice has changed, it still remains amazing, strong and powerful. Don't deprive the world of your talent, Ronan. You are a fantastic singer. God Bless you.

Awesome cover, Ronan! Such a good song :)

Little Ronan grew up 😍❤️

His voice is meant for this sort of music

someone give this kid a recording deal like now

Am I weird for loving to watch him sing? Sometimes people look strange singing, but he looks so powerful.

Oh wow. you're back! I missed you voice, Ronan! I follow you from your audition. your voice just keeps getting stronger and it's so stunning. God bless you. loved it

Wow Ronan! You have an incredible voice and soul, but you need a real manager, not the fraudsters you've had the last two times. Keep singing and growing, and making better business decisions and you will start to see your dreams come true again. You're an incredible person, please remember that, and never give up.

All I can say is Wow. Absolutely stunning.

That guy is so sensitive when he sings. Amazing cover. Way to go Ronan !

nobody can sing so beautiful like he does

OMG! Got chills! Amazing, emotional cover of this classic! beautifully done Ronan!

I can fell the emotion and soul of this song by looking how he sing this.. Good song, good cover Ronan.. I love it.

Finally a new cover.... and I absolutely love it! Beautiful voice, very strong and powerful. I hope there's more to come... WE NEED YOU AND YOUR STUNNING VOICE Ronan ;-)

Justin Bieber, Jai Waetford and You Ronan, we are Top of the World, seriously! Great job, high five ;)

he has the most beautiful voice

Ronan, I am a true fan who thinks you are incredible. I look forward to following your career as your voice matures. I am blown away by your performance of 'I'd Rather Go Blind'. I feel certain Etta James would be amazed!

That brief smile at the end can stun at 100 paces---

He might very well be the best singer of the XXI century

Much better song choice. Far more suitable for how your voice has developed. I just wish this were recorded in a room with better acoustics, and in HD :)

Ronan's is one of the best voices I've ever heard . He should be recording more songs like this one. He's just great! Love him!!

Long time since you posted a video, but it was definitely worth waiting for. Such an amazing cover.

Very, Very Nice Ronan. Super, Super Beau Ronan. Hugues de Belgique.

Gosh. He just keeps getting more spectacular.... I'm in love with this being o.o

Awesome!! Your voice is amazing !!! And I love your new hair cut

Intensity, fire, thrill, soul all in one voice. This boy is a great artist!

This is amazing Ronan. So good to hear your voice again.

Oh my my! I see the smoke on the water and feel the fire in the soul.........simply AWESOME!

wow ....

Great song by Etta James (also covered by Beyonce) The Ronan's cover is the best by a male voice ever! And the voice of Ronan is probably the best pop voice in his age range (he is 17). I dont know about any other male singer who can cover this song with this quality... probably Jack Vidgen or Harrison Craig.

Ronan as a little boy -Britains got talent soo cute and a soo amazing voice and now.......WOW Omg

HAPPY 18TH BIRTHDAY RONAN! I wish you all the success you deserve and much happiness in your life.

Astonishing perfomance, hope that's not what's in your heart Ronan, Cheers!!

All I'll say is, I'm glad you're still singing Ronan, this video proves you have a lot to offer and there are so many songs still to be sung.

Beautiful Song Beautiful Voice Beautiful Boy

*looked at the first British got talent he went to (video)* *looked at more videos* *notice the change of voice* *eyes widen* *nods a bunch of times with confirmation*...... YUP! nothing has changed....still love him, people love him, and still a great singer.....amazing person *applause if u agree plez* 👏👏👏👏💓👏👏👏👏

You are amazing Ronan

Beautiful, one of my favorites from Etta.

Love the song and crucifix, and a new song from you and Jack Vidgen this week! So Happy! Please continue to share your gift Ronan, and remain a positive role model kids all around the world.

I love that smile at the end

absolutely amazing great job and welcome back Ronan

Beautiful voice. Great looking too. Keep singing & smiling Ronan. Love it.

Beautiful beautiful beautiful. Love u from my deep down ronan

Etta would be proud.

I know you're busy but it would be great to hear more songs. Even short parts could make us happy. Well done.

A fantastic talent that seems to have dropped off the face of the earth.

Fantastic, Ronan. absolutely amazing and beautiful. can't wait to hear more.

You are an amazing young man with a gift I hope you will share with the world. Loved you since I saw you on stage in 2011, and this video shows your progression since then. Big talent, beautiful voice. Hope to hear a LOT from you in the years to come!

Fabulous!! Amazing!! nice to hear your voice again :-) more please!! :-D

Beautiful cover Ronan!! Love your voice and songs! :-)

Ron, you're real singer! Wow! Respect to u!

you sing with all your emotions and a big heart,you put everything into it,with you hit your growth of your voice and body you still have great voice for singing.I have enjoyed it. I hope there is a lot to come.

Dam AWESOME !! Born to Sing

You just made remember why I love to sing.

Hey Ronan Great to see you back! Songs with depth and meaning really are the songs you do best. You just have something special and seem to have a beautiful soul. Ignore any haters who speculate about who you are. What is important is that you have a gift you should share with the world. You don't need a record deal to be successful. RU-vid is a great platform and gives you creative freedom. A lot of successful artists built a big fan base on RU-vid including Pentatonix, Post Modern Jukebox and many others. It must have been difficult having so much pressure put on you as a child and then transitioning through vocal changes as you became an adult. I've sung for many years and let me tell you, you have it. Just keep following your dream because like most great singers, you sing from the inside out. I also think your voice and expression would go well in musical theatre (just a thought!). I know it's a tough industry, however, you have true fans who believe in you and your subscriber base will grow for your adult channel. Best of luck with everything! 😀

Incredible job. Etta would’ve appreciated that 💯💯💯

love love love your music...and when you smile !!

I'd rather lost hope of Ronan returning to us, so I haven't been watching too intently. What a pleasant surprise to drop on this latest effort more by chance than by anything else.. Ronan, you've still got what it takes...I hope this isn't just a flash in the pan, and is actually a determined attempt by you to secure your rightful place in the entertainment field. Go for it, son...you cant be ignored forever!! and good luck!

Completely amazing! How absolutely beautiful Ronan! This sent chills down my spine...and your beautiful smile at the end was just perfect! Thanks so much for posting this I have so terribly missed you and this is very definitely uplifting for your fans! Keep up the good work Ronan I love you man!

Wow wow wow, Ronan , that was from the heart and it was breathtakingly beautiful. I so hope you will do another album soon I realy like your singing voice.

I'm so proud of You hon,You have came a long ways since 12 years old.I'm so Happy you got your dream..

This is so incredible...I mean, what else would expect from you? Haha

I think I'm in love. He has a really beautiful voice and face.

Your Voice is the best i've ever heard!!! Brazil Love Ronan!

wonderful! Ronan I have tears in my eyes .

Wow Ronan, I have loved your voice from the moment I heard it, and was wondering how it would change when it broke, and I think that "broke" is just not the right adjective to describe the sheer beauty of what your voice has become. Love seeing the man you have become. Please keep the clips coming.

Ronan Parke I love you and your music so much I could listen to you all day💗💗💗 you are the best singer ever and you should do a world tour I live in America and I would love to see you preform live I wish you best of luck to your music career

i always like his high notes. ever since his first audition till now

What a beautiful voice, Ronan!

Bluesy, I love it. Your voice has settled nicely and you've certainly learned the new instrument well. This touches the marrow. Well done.

Congrats. Now the count down to more songs....way 2 go.

Ronan, you're awesome brother ❤

you did a great job on I'd rather go blind. great job.and also to the tribute to Prince, Purple Rain.

Omg, amazing Ronan! Great to hear your voice x

I'm 70 yr. old and I so love your singing but I see a sadness in you in you later work that makes me so sad. Remember you can't please everyone but you must please yourself in order to lead a happy life. And life is so short as I am seeing now. Good Luck

He's back !!!!

Amazing Cover Ronan! Your voice is deeper now, keep on singing!

YOU'RE BACK I MISSED YOU SO MUCH. You're one of my biggest Inspirations the way you sing, the type of music you sing is how I wanna sing, its the type of style I wanna sing.

Hey Ronan, Congratulations boy you're incredible, and your voice, man I have no words to describe it.
