Country's transplant superstar Keith Urban will receive the 2012 Harmony Award at the upcoming 28th annual Symphony Ball in Nashville. The award is bestowed each year to "an individual who exemplifies the harmonious spirit of Nashville's thriving music community."
One could make a convincing argument that Keith Urban's 'Golden Road' is the most important record of his career... And one of the most important records of the decade. Urban's sophomore album has sold over three million copies, while landing four songs on top of Billboard's country charts (including 'You Look Good in My Shirt,' which wasn't released until 2008). A fifth single, 'Raining on a Sunday' peaked at No. 3.
Keith Urban has spoken out about the cat fight heard 'round the world. At a film premiere in New York last night, the country star responded to a reporter's questions about the confrontation that took place Tuesday between fellow 'American Idol' judges Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, saying he was the United Nations in the situation.
Keith Urban had better learn to duck. The singer recently left his gig on the Australian version of 'The Voice' to become the first country star to judge 'American Idol,' only to land square in the middle of a feud between fellow newcomers Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj.
Before he even considered judging the upcoming season of 'American Idol' or sat down in that big red chair on 'The Voice' Australia, Keith Urban had plenty of experience with singing competition shows. As a young boy, the 'For You' hitmaker appeared as a contestant on an Australian reality show that is similar to 'Idol.' However, he wasn't as popular as he is now... by any means.
It's not often you see country star Keith Urban and his wife Nicole Kidman, apart from one another. Of course, there are times -- like when Urban is on stage or Kidman is in front of a camera -- that they can't stand side by side. But that won't stop the actress from being in the wings when her hubby judges the upcoming season of 'American Idol.' She confirmed in a recent interview that she plans to watch the show from backstage.
When Keith Urban was approached by the big-wigs behind the epic film, 'Act of Valor,' to create a song for its official motion picture soundtrack, he was honored, but knew he had a big job on his hands to come up with the perfect 'For You' lyrics.
By far, one of the best parts of attending the CMA Music Festival is the small venue performances put on by major stars. That's exactly what Keith Urban did when he played 'You Gonna Fly' for a smaller crowd of ecstatic fans at a small bar in Nashville in June, as seen on the ABC 'Country's Night to Rock' special.
Well, it looks like it's finally a done deal. Keith Urban will be one of the new judges for American Idol. It has officially been confirmed by the Fox network.
It's finally official. Keith Urban will join the judge's table when the 12th season of 'American Idol' begins in January. This makes the singer the first full-time country judge (Shania Twain filled in early during the 2010 season) and ends rumors of everyone from Toby Keith to Carrie Underwood joining the panel. Who is your all-time favorite 'American Idol' judge?
This past season in Australia Keith Urban was a judge on their version of "The Voice". He's already admitted to being approached by producers of American Idol here in the
States. So does his resigning from next season's judging position in Australia mean good things for the States American Idol?
