My Take
Ronan Keating is, to me, proof that sincerity ages better than spectacle. Plenty of boy-band frontmen vanished when the format went out of fashion; he simply kept singing, stacking up eleven solo albums since 1999 on the strength of a warm, unhurried voice. I admire how comfortably he moved into television presenting without ever seeming to abandon music — the side work funded the passion rather than replacing it. The 2022 honorary doctorate struck me as a fitting footnote: a Dublin kid who built a thirty-year career not on reinvention but on reliability. In an industry addicted to novelty, that steadiness is quietly radical.
