Urban Lights Up ACM Stage, Kidman Lights Up Australian TV Screens


"Highway Don't Care" is a song that begs to be performed at an awards show and last night that very thing happened. Along with Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift, Keith gave THE performance of the night. The man was on fire as usual, with his smokin' guitar skills.

Keith also presented Miranda Lambert with the Female Vocalist of The Year Award and attended the Annual Fan Jam. You can see more photos HERE.

Nicole's Swisse Ultivites commerical debuted last night during the second season premiere of Australia's The Voice. Thanks to an Aussie reader for the heads up and the links to the commercial/behind the scenes featurette.

All For The Hall Benefit Announcement Coming September 7th















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.

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?

Keith Urban & Nicole Kidman Updates 08/26/10


Urban development: Keith plays CMA Music Festival


By Jay Bobbin

Keith Urban is married to an Oscar-winning actress, but he knows he has another important relationship to maintain: the one with his fans.

Still at the forefront of country music stars, Nicole Kidman's spouse gets a big opportunity to please his followers each June, when artists and listeners converge on Nashville for a Country Music Association-sponsored event. The four-day gathering is captured for a television special, and ABC airs this year's edition of "CMA Music Festival: Country's Night to Rock" Wednesday, Sept. 1.

A preview disc indicated the three-hour show offers a generous dose of the New Zealand-born and Australia-raised Urban, whose virtual greatest-hits set includes "Kiss a Girl" and "Days Go By." Among the many other talents showcased: Carrie Underwood, Brad Paisley, Tim McGraw, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, Martina McBride, Alan Jackson, Reba McEntire, Trace Adkins, and engaged couple Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton.

Though he's had a busy summer concert schedule, as have so many of his country music peers, Urban recognizes that playing the CMA Music Festival is still a prime gig.

Q: Did you enjoy performing at this year's festival as much as it appears?

A: Yeah, I really did. There's something about that crowd, and probably that little bit of extra mojo about performing in that stadium -- not long after it was under water (from the flooding in Nashville) -- was a euphoric feeling as well.


Q: Have you intentionally stocked your catalog with tunes that practically invite the audience to sing along?

A: I hoped that one day, I would have a set list where people know the majority of the songs. It's a blast to look out there and see people singing along with every song; it's incredible. I'm always happy to let my voice take a break and let the audience carry it!

Q: How have you personally experienced the growth of the festival, which used to be known as Fan Fair, over the years?

A: It's astounding to see how big it's gotten, particularly this year. I couldn't see an empty seat anywhere. It's such a win-win; what a magnificent thing that this festival is based on the genre and not on the specific artists. So many people come to celebrate their love of country music, and within three or four days, you've seen everybody.

Q: You made a point of saying in the show, "Nashville is alive and well and open for business." How are you finding it there now?

A: Certainly, it takes a little while, and it's been difficult with Opryland out of commission. I think people know we're back up and running, though, and Tennessee isn't called the Volunteer State for nothing. Everybody pulled together, and here we are.

Q: Is being the father of Sunday, your two-year-old daughter with Nicole, having an impact on your music?

A: Yeah, for sure. I'm not out there working all the time, and from being home, it's important to have something to take out onstage. I think everything benefits from it. I think the performances have more purpose for me. If we're going to go out and connect with everybody, what are we communicating? I have enormous gratitude for having found somebody and found my center ... then to be able to plug into that through my music, if I can.

The Cavendish Beach Music Festival: Gloriana, Keith Urban

JULY 9, 2010

by Agustin


Wow! Yesterday was nothing compared to today. The festival’s attendance grew exponentially tonight, July 8, at the Cavendish Festival as the international acts took the stage. We here at the Swift Agency- are too tired to make jokes. Let’s get to it.

I was awaiting the sounds of Gloriana. They didn’t disappoint in their performance. The quartet came out to their usually opening number of How Far Do You Wanna Go? which was recognized and sang back word for word by the audience.

There were a few technical glitches. As Tom Gossin said when he switched to the keyboard, “sometimes things happen. Sometimes you get to Canada and your mike stand is not there.” Cheyenne helped Tom figure out a keyboard problem while Mike Gossin improvised a guitar solo. According to Rachel, Cheyenne is the “techie” of the group. However, Cheyenne also run into issues when she switched to a guitar only to discover it wasn’t working. The group quickly improvised and moved along.

The crowd was chanting for Wild At Heart but Gloriana didn’t cut short their set.

I liked their performance of The World Is Ours Tonight. Rachel shined with her rendition of Fleetwood Mac’s Say That You Love Me. They also sang The Way It Goes which was also a crowd favorite. Tom excels on the acoustic guitar on that one.

Wild At Heart was the icing on the cake. It got everybody singing and shouting. I was so glad that I had managed to get VIP access which also allowed me dibs to be in the pit for Gloriana.

Keith Urban was the king of the night, and one excellent headliner. He’s one of those artists with such a gallery of hits that it’s impossible for him to play them all but somehow it feels he did. He opened with Kiss A Girl which made everyone rush forward.

I give Urban his dues, he knows how to work the crowd. I also can’t help but identify which cues Taylor Swift has picked up from him during the time she was her opening act. Keith also moves into the crowd to perform at some point. He makes it back walking through the crowd. Sound familiar? Tay picked up this idea from Keith’s.

Urban is a true artist. He makes sure he travels all the way to each side of the stage and has a mike set up there to keep on singing. He’s one serious guitar player, there’s as much rock as country in his performance. Lighting changes and a different video backdrop for each song, not really the video of the song but color patterns or icons depicting something related.

At some point Keith lets each of his bandmembers do a solo, which also meant singing from both his guitar player and bass player. He also has this custom led guitar that lights up in different colors.

As he was brought for an encore, Keith pointed out a little girl with a sign about him. He brought her on stage, read her sign, autographed it and hugged her. The crowd went wild and I would expect a lot more signs in Keith Urban concerts. An amazing show. I would recommend you try to catch Keith’s tour the next time it comes near you.

Taylor Swift is expected to take the stage as the headliner on Saturday, July 10th.

UNIFEM is on the move!

UN WOMEN

UN Creates New Structure for Empowerment of Women

2 JULY 2010 | PRESS RELEASES
UNITED NATIONS PRESS RELEASE
For immediate release

United Nations, New York, 2 July 2010 — In an historic move, the United Nations General Assembly voted unanimously today to create a new entity to accelerate progress in meeting the needs of women and girls worldwide.

The establishment of the UN Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women — to be known as UN Women — is a result of years of negotiations between UN Member States and advocacy by the global women’s movement. It is part of the UN reform agenda, bringing together resources and mandates for greater impact.

“I am grateful to Member States for having taken this major step forward for the world’s women and girls,” said Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon in a statement welcoming the decision. “UN Women will significantly boost UN efforts to promote gender equality, expand opportunity, and tackle discrimination around the globe.”

UN Women merges and will build on the important work of four previously distinct parts of the UN system which focus exclusively on gender equality and women’s empowerment:

Division for the Advancement of Women (DAW, established in 1946)
International Research and Training Institute for the Advancement of Women (INSTRAW, established in 1976)
Office of the Special Adviser on Gender Issues and Advancement of Women (OSAGI, established in 1997)
United Nations Development Fund for Women (UNIFEM, established in 1976)
“I commend the leadership and staff of DAW, INSTRAW, OSAGI and UNIFEM for their commitment to the cause of gender equality; I will count on their support as we enter a new era in the UN’s work for women,” said Secretary-General Ban. “I have made gender equality and the empowerment of women one of my top priorities — from working to end the scourge of violence against women, to appointing more women to senior positions, to efforts to reduce maternal mortality rates,” he noted.

Over many decades, the UN has made significant progress in advancing gender equality, including through landmark agreements such as the Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action and the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination Against Women. Gender equality is not only a basic human right, but its achievement has enormous socio-economic ramifications. Empowering women fuels thriving economies, spurring productivity and growth.

Yet gender inequalities remain deeply entrenched in every society. Women in all parts of the world suffer violence and discrimination, and are under-represented in decision-making processes. High rates of maternal mortality continue to be a cause for global shame. For many years, the UN has faced serious challenges in its efforts to promote gender equality globally, including inadequate funding and no single recognized driver to direct UN activities on gender equality issues.



Congrats to UN Women! The new organization is scheduled to be up and running by January 2011.

Another humanitarian we love is Queen Rania. If you don't already know she's had her own Youtube channel for some time. She's teamed up with Funny Or Die and made a video that will make you laugh and sends out a positive message. Such a difference from the doom and gloom attitude of the skeptics!




Happy Weekend everybody!

Keith Urban Developments: Highlights From Country Superfest

May 7, 2010

Choice's Whatchasayy and Urban Myths' Maclen: Scum Festering In A Sea Of Hate


















whatchasayy: Anyone realized it or occur to you that we have been witnessing her with her baby shots, ALWAYS the baby carried the same way, perched on one side of her hips, FOR YEARS AND YEARS, only her clothing and sceneries change. This fits in with her rigid mentality about anything. Other celebrity babies are captured INTERACTING with their parents, walking, tuned into/curious about their surroundings, independently enjoying themselves. HERS always look lost...and semi-retarded...not tuned into herself at all. BTW, you get like that when you talk at and not with the baby, the baby's brains aren't used to turning, not getting attention to convey who she is, and she already looks slow. Also has there been a picture at all of KU taking ownership of the baby and enjoy her the way other celebrity dads do, like placing kisses, or lift her up to make her giggle, etc. Of course, not having your own baby is no doubt a large part of it in this weird family....




maclen: Yes, I get it...you see, these critters keep coming here to get the skeptics to "pat their heads" and to justify their fawning of the orb! Otherwise, they cannot worship unconditionally...they arent able to "wuv" him thoroughly or totally unless the skeptics (and this cynic here) say to them..."yes the orb is soooo fab...he is beyond even the most handsome ...the bomb of all country pickers...he dominates the world of all that is "homespun!" For they are not content with the wuvin' the other monkeylanders bestow on him at their little pristine, shallow and one dimensional monkeysite. I sense alot of little insecure moppets... looking for "justification"... HERE at Urban Myths! And I for one will not give my "stamp of approval"...I for one have no problem whatsoever NOT commenting at the monkeysite...or the addicts site...for I have my opinion and I'm content with it, no matter what. But these monkeys will never be content in THEIR opinion on the orb...never secure that a possible spread of "unpopular" talk or discontent among former monkeys wont begin to spread to other "insecure" monkeys that results in the orb's eventual demise on the whole scene! Well, dellusional monkeys, look at the orb's cd sales, his demise is upon you! Or otherwise they wouldnt feel the need to be here...and constantly "preaching" that "we just haven't seen the light!" or, "You can be "born again" if you are just willing!" It truly is that monumental a psychological addiction...one that has been going on in humankind since...well the original blogs...cave paintings and ancient hieroglyphics! Fine, have your opinions...but dont panhandle door to door like annoying jehovah witness' or hare krishna's...you are that annoying...so to this...

"So... Keith played a couple of songs & answered phones for donations. Not good enough, though, right?"

No it's not.
You want to ask another question...right?

"Let's see... Brad Paisley, Tim Mcgraw and Faith Hill were on Andersoon Cooper tonight. But for PR reasons, right?"

Yes, they were.
And you'll still need another shot at my approval, right? Yes, I've figured that.

So in the continueing "E-o'-L-N-M's"

...Ha! Leave it to swifty to "out PR" the orb+deadweight...

http://bigpondnews.com/articles/Entertainment/2010/05/07/Keith_Urban_donates_to_help_victims_459477.html

Keith Urban donates to help victims

"Keith Urban and wife Nicole Kidman have made a donation to help victims of the Nashville floods which have killed at least 29 people in Tennessee."

...seems the cat got orb tongue on the FULL exploit of his and dead weight's amount of donation! Here is how its done...

http://www.wiredprnews.com/2010/05/07/taylor-swift-makes-donation-for-nashville-flood_2010050710930.html

Taylor Swift makes donation for Nashville flood

"Country music superstar Taylor Swift is reportedly making a $500,000 donation in support of those affected by the massive flood in Nashville."

..but then swifty is quite accustomed to knocking orb out of the spotlight! She constantly does it in cd sales...award wins...clearly in fanbase!
But this...

http://ricksanchez.blogs.cnn.com/2010/05/04/keith-urban-i-may-have-lost-everything/

Keith Urban: I may have lost everything

...is old news already! OH NO! I hope the damage to orb's recording equipment doesnt effect the "quality"...or the "commercial viability" of orb's next cd! I'm sure they'll be a song dedicated to the flood...you know something thoughtful and profound...perhaps..."An ode to my Soggy Guitar"...or something as unforgettable as this...

"Baby come here next to me, I'll show you how good it can be
I'll breathe each breath you breathe
I can, pour out everthing I am"

...I"ll breathe each breath you breathe? What does that even mean? Is it like, "I"ll chew each bite you chew? Actually the thought of it just made me nauseous...I just imagined kidman's breathe must reek of tobacco tar and the toxic vapor of collagen! Well, this rather rudimentary and vague song chosen by orb to cover is pretty indicative of the orb's rather banal and simplistic...and very juvenile jingles! Yikes, actually just listened to a few secs of orb's next single...orb is especially laying on that "warbling twang" a little thick! Typically trying to overcompensate for the lack of personality or character!


HA! HOORAY FOR HOLLYWOOD!...and bubble lipped, elastic faced prima donnas and slacked jawed jingle spewing fiddlers! May they fizzle out like the wicked witch in the Wizard of OZ...quote kidman.."Ohhh! You cursed brat! Look what you've done! I'm melting! Melting! Oh, what a world! What a world! Who would have thought a good little girl like you could destroy my beautiful wickedness! Ohhh! Look out! Look out! I'm going! Ohhhh – Ohhhhhhhhhh!"

...Well! That's not a very nice thing to say about selena gomez!

Nashville Helping Nashville

















It was a wonderful night of music and community that raised over $1,700,000.

Fortunately Flood Relief with Vince Gill and Friends was not only carried by the local Nashville affiliate WSMV but by other Tennessee stations, CNN, Fox News, and The Weather Channel.

Before the telethon even began, $10,000 was already in the bank for the Middle Tennessee Harvest Food Bank, Red Cross, and the Salvation Army. Vince Gill kicked things off by announcing he and wife Amy Grant are donating $100,000 to the cause.

The night was filled with old and new friends of Gill's who came by to share a story and a song. Naomi Judd added some levity to the night with some amusing stories about some neighbors who were affected and who added that Keith Urban is also her neighbor in Leipers Fork.






















Taylor Swift called in and publicly donated $500,000 to flood relief.

Julie Roberts who showed up with a broken foot told about how her and her family were rescued and lucky enough to be there tonight sing with Vince.

Lorrie Morgan, Nashville native, shared her personal story where her sister has lost her house. She performed a Jeannie Sealy tune, "Don't Touch Me", by the Grand Ole Opry fixture who was also personally affected by the flood.

Keb' Mo', a longtime friend of Vince's who just moved to Nashville the week prior to the flood, came by to take donations and help the cause.

Mark Volman, a member of the 60's group The Turtles and Belmont University professor came by to help friends and answer phones.

Stephen Curtis Chapman, a resident of Nashville who has gotten through tough times before with the help of Nashville, came by and sang a tune with Vince, and manned the phones.

Amy Grant made the important point that those that ask others to give should be the first ones in line giving, and that is why she and husband Vince donated such a large amount in such a public fashion.

In between songs, Gill told stories and riffed in his usual style, but talked with Lorrie and Keith about the loss of musical instruments at Soundcheck. Everyone from Keb' Mo' who just moved in to longtime session players to superstars like Keith have lost precious instruments and performance gear. They still haven't been able to find out exactly what was lost. The damage whether it be houses or musical treasures is still unknown, but the spirit of the musical community is alive and well.

Amy Grant performed with husband Vince, singing her new single "Better Than A Hallelujah".

Vince Gill joined his western swing Station Inn buddies in a rousing rendition of Bob Will's "San Antonio Rose".

The show closed with Vince Gill's signature tune "Go Rest High On That Mountain".

We at STS would like to share Keith Urban's performances. Keith told Vince wife Nicole sends her prayers and that what he has potentially lost is nothing in comparison to what so many others have endured.

Keith sang "Everybody", did an interview, and after taking phone calls performed "I'm In", a request from a fan in TN who donated. Vince accompanied along with an accordion player.




















Even though the telethon is over you can still help. At the top of the sidebar is all the information you'll need to donate to the Nashville Red Cross.


"I can't save anybody but I can play the guitar for a little bit." ~Vince Gill

ABC And Inept Team Maclen (Urban Myths) Resort To A Total Fabrication Of The Truth

















It's a long title readers but it is in fact what's happening. E! online members are making up stories about what happened on ACM night and now Urban Myths posters are doing the same. It's one thing to approve the posts and then correct the misinformation. But Mary is too busy and too full of hate apparently to bother.

Get a load of the garbage put out today

abc: I also watched the vid of him singing “I’m in” … and we see vid of her sitting amongst the groupies, none of them giving her so much as a glance, and we notice that when she notices the camera, she quickly mouthes the words of the song … she is sitting in a different place to where she is moments later when he joins her to await the announcement of EOTY … which, incidentally, he would have accepted in his casual clothes that he had changed into for the song he performed just prior to the EOTY announcement. Which, (not being in the matching bl/wh suit), may be why she completely ignores him throughout the announcement.
Despite him just having made overt gestures toward her during his singing of “I’m in”, closing it with the usual “babygirl” …

Something doesn’t add up for me. “All that glitters is not gold” as the saying goes.



No abc you're right, it doesn't add up because you made up that entire scenario.

Kidman never changed seats that night. They were seated next to Taylor Swift and her mother the entire show as you'll see in the screen shots. The fan pit was positioned directly in front of the main stage as they were for all the other big performers. Why the need to completely rewrite history? The camera took a quick zoom in and we see Kidman is singing and clapping along.















There would have been no time for her to notice the camera and then sing. The second shot she is still in the same seat next to the Swifts and Sugarland to their right. She stopped singing but picked up the song right in time JUST AS TAYLOR SWIFT DID! Please check the video we posted in the previous ACM blog. It's all right there!

















In typical hater style you don't know a fan from a star, a movie quote from real life. You're also completely wrong about the acceptance. If Keith went on as scheduled he would have been back in his suit and tie. Why? Because he was supposed to go on after Toby Keith coming back in from a commercial break in the first hour. Outfits aside and irrelevant, when have we ever seen a spouse console a losing nominee? They clap for the winner, which Nicole did. Did we see Taylor's mother comfort Taylor? Does it look like poor Keith is about to cry? Your analysis is beyond idiotic!
















Now maclen unfortunately for you, you are wrong again about Nicole Kidman's career.

maclen: as the sure reason that the floundering Rabbit Hole and with the demise of The Danish Girl.., it was clearly a Fox and New Regency condition that kidman NOT have a role in the film!

Danish Girl is not dead as confirmed by the director who has recently said filming has been moved to fall 2010, and with a new location those changes precipitated Paltrow's exit. The necessary screen tests done for any makeup and prosthetics have been successful. Rabbit Hole is being re-scored. Pull your head in from out of your ass! You don't even try to get anything right!

So with all that said we'd like to remind the skeptics and haters of something if they havent figured it out already. Your lies and half-truths, and outrageous hateful, negative opinions are simply comments to a poorly run, shallow, and pointless blog. Urban Myths Mary needs your endless blather to keep the hate going because there's no facts to support the nonsense she wants the world to believe. There isn't even halfway decent information worth looking at over there. But Skewering The Skeptics puts your ridiculous comments on display and they aren't hidden behind a comment box. So guess what? All of your lies are getting coverage through this blog with the truth right next to it. Your delusional message is getting out there all right, with the truth and reality showing you the door every time.

Remember, the more you lie the more this blog shows what idiots all of you are.

It's. Just. That. Easy.
