On the Twitter homefront it's been a little predicatbale except for one particular tweet. And that tweet was from Keith Urban's account letting a fan know that the 2010 AFTH was happening and to stay tuned.
Since inept skeptic know-nothing maclen declared that AFTH might not be happening because she doesn't want it to, we have to laugh. In usual skeptic style they don't research anything and just hope things go their way. What a pity.
We have to thank a CMHOF staff member for getting back to us and letting us know about the announcement for next Tuesday. They also pointed out to us that tickets for the Los Angeles AFTH are already on sale.

All for the Hall Los Angeles, a benefit for the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum Featuring Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Taylor Swift and friends

Club Nokia at L.A. Live
Inept skeptic maclen will be pleased to know her favorite artist Taylor Swift will be there ready to get sympathy votes for her Female Vocal CMA nomination.
BAHAHAHAHA!
P.S. Is maclen aware yet of how much Rascal Flatt's sales have declined, commensurate with most country artists? She'll never learn to keep her mouth shut will she?

The State Of Being Inept Keith Urban Myths Skeptic Maclen: Miserable
So despite all logic, maclen, ridiculous and inept skeptic maclen, continues to harp on albums sales figures. She says Capitol could have dumped him, despite the reality he was their top-selling artist. Let's forget today about the economy, phenom acts, acts that are new and have that honeymoon period, and Keith's documented success through digital sales. Let's take a look at other artists that should be dumped for no certification, certification taking too long, not making platinum sales or sales not performing to previous levels. Pure stats. Because after all, maclen can't be wrong, can she?
maclen: The fact of the matter...the one point I try to make on this blog...over and over...and over and over...is that THERE IS consequences to NOT selling as many cds as you have in the past! You know, the fansies can carp on about some other superfluous award nom or win...but that is just...PROMO...they can carp on about another featured cover story in People mag....but again, that is just PROMO...appearances on talk show...what was that word again? Oh right...PROMO! Now as to the noms and awards...it is true that the orb is not getting as much as he once did 5 years ago...and that is a reflection on his current standing in the country music industry..."out with the old and in with the new" is always and constantly in play. But if the extra media PR apparatus exposure the orb is now getting...especially with the collapse of "mutt"...and he still isnt able to simply sell cds to even his previous standards, he will be out of there. I felt CapNash was in the position to dump the orb from the label with the diminished cd sales of whole crazy..but they decided to stick with the orb for the next cd, Defying Sales. And now they are about to release another cd...perhaps rush releasing it before the orb's cds are usually released...and perhaps in a "stripped down approach"... if the orb doesnt sell...he is definately finished. And no amount of excuses or explainations from his monkeys...no amount of "organizing" or media "rigging" can save him in what I really believe is a certain inevitability.
Awards don't count....because Keith has been nominated and won. Tours don't count....because he's had successful ones. Appearances don't count....because Keith has been asked and well-received at many places, from television to charity events.
Of course the only thing that matters is album sales!

We could list more but there's really no need. Look through other artists like Faith Hill, Tim McGraw and Reba McEntire you'll see the same thing...sales that fluctuate or decrease. And in spite of that their labels didn't drop them, they didn't start touring the casino circuit, and they didn't plan a move to Branson! According to inept skeptic maclen they should be dropped!
The skeptics have tunnel vision. They can't accept that Keith Urban, without their help, has become one of the established artists of the genre. He's had hits in the US for over 10 years and is at the top of the country music ladder.
But poor pathetic maclen. The only thing she has for her blog is album sales, because those are diminished numbers. It doesn't stop there readers. Maclen is in a really bad way. Check out the top right sidebar for the true state of where she is. She can't admit the truth about Urban Myths and she can't admit the truth about Keith Urban or Nicole Kidman. Also, be sure to take a listen to the skeptics new theme song, just below the Skeptic Zone logo!
BAHAHAHAHA!
