I have a great idea for a new reality TV show.
It's gonna be called either 'Changing Ronans', or 'How Ronan Is Your Band?'
Basically, the premise of the show can be summed up by asking a simple question:
How many bands could not be improved in some way by having Ronan Keating as their lead singer?
Answer: There is no such band.
Every week, Ronan will ride around the country on his motorcycle and, for one gig only, become the new frontman for a band in need of a vocal makeover... there are so many bands that could be great but for the lack of a good singer: The Darkness, Oasis, The Smiths, to name but three.
Then there are bands who already have a great singer, but could still benefit from a change of pace. Who wouldn't want to hear a Ronaned-up version of Radiohead's Creep, or TLC's Waterfalls?
Every week, Ronan will ride into a new town on his Harley and deliver his famous catchphrase: "Hi, I'm Ronan Keating, and today I'll be improving... [insert band to be Ronaned]." This will be followed by a whirlwind week of rehearsals, a sell-out gig in a small venue, after which Ronan rides out of there like a ballad-singing Sam Beckett, having put right what once went wrong.
The beauty is that this doesn't need to be limited to active bands. If Paul Rodgers can tour with Queen, Ronan can ressurect pretty much any classic band you care to name!
Try this on for size: "Hi, I'm Ronan Keating, and today I'll be improving... THE BEATLES."
Fuck yeah.
Does anybody know how I can go about pitching this idea to some production company?
