And great to see that it was recognized as such.<BR/><BR/>I was sad to hear that he didn't stick around and enjoy "mingling" with his peers. That was something Keith used to love. But instead he had to get back to Gramma in Oz. Nice to see it reported that he flew into Darwin last night on a private jet. Kind of takes the sting out of the message from Live Earth ... though ... don't ya think?Imahickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13275610658317807322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-3923720545892789442007-07-09T20:35:00.000-04:002007-07-09T20:35:00.000-04:00We skeptics have been saying shut up and sing for ...We skeptics have been saying shut up and sing for months now, it's not his original thought.<BR/><BR/>As for Live Earth, yeah he and Alyssa were the highlight of the concert.

From the reviews I've read he was one was one of THE highlights out of NY, not to mention the entire event. He did a great job with "Gimme Shelter". I'm sure he's won a whole new legion of fans (to fill all those empty skeptic seats).notachancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10119374355376493530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-90484910391460008682007-07-03T22:51:00.000-04:002007-07-03T22:51:00.000-04:00notachance, I was at St. Louis, Memphis, Atlanta a...notachance, I was at St. Louis, Memphis, Atlanta and OKC...also, Phoenix, Vegas and San Diego.

The bloggers review was great, but the live show was just amazing. The GIANT screen adds such a new dimension to the show that you are literally transfixed for the entire night. Keith himself looked relazed, refreshed and dare I say HAPPY?? He was certainly in his element. <BR/><BR/>I don't know about anyone else, but I'm ready to go again.

Ås for kidman, it was just very obvious and apparent what she seems to consider her priorities. I think I was with most people, she was an up and coming actress who happened to hook up with Tom Cruise when he was really riding high, and no one took much notice of her when they were married. And I do recall she said in an interview that she was worried that her career in holywood was over when cruise filed for divorce. And when that wasnt the case, that she was actually given alot of sympathy over it, mainly critical, she learned to play up those sympathies, she seemed to consantly talk about how it effected her, and it became another arm of her promotion, and it seems to be the main theme of the movies she did. And so I wonder if urban is in the frame of mind to notice how much that is so instinctual in her now. For example, how do you think it made urban feel when she said, while they became engaged, that she not only still loved cruise, but that she wished she was still married to him... in a national magazine?maclenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955283353584596594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-23457999360578879482007-06-29T17:51:00.000-04:002007-06-29T17:51:00.000-04:00Maclen - for not knowing a lot about Keith Urban -...Maclen - for not knowing a lot about Keith Urban - your comments show you to be a very perceptive observer.<BR/><BR/>We are all worried as to what will be left of Keith's career, his self-esteem, and his own identity once Nicole kicks him to the curb because of Diminishing Returns.NotBuyingItInNashvillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12658906347763443176noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-13118385308869291142007-06-29T12:28:00.000-04:002007-06-29T12:28:00.000-04:00I'm hoping Keith has found himself - FINALLY! If ...I'm hoping Keith has found himself - FINALLY! If it's happiness with Nicole, than so be it but I just have this to say....<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>I actually spent time watching "The Hours" and "Dogville" last weekend.<BR/><BR/>OMG! I wanted someone to poke needles in my eyes they were so bad!<BR/><BR/>I got Dogville because Keith said this was his favorite film of Nicole's and when he misses her he watches it on the road. I figured it must be good if he says so. Did you all know that it's a stage production - not really a produced movie? It was incredibly slow and really lowered my opinion of Keith's taste in movies. So after that fiasco I decided to see if "The Hours" were any better. It was almost as bad. This one was actually a movie, but it was about a depressed writer in the 20's (Nicole). They put on a prosthetic nose...I guess to make her ugly - it worked! It moves to a later time...a woman who reads her work in the 50's and then again in current times. The entire movie was really SLOWWWWW and I just wanted her to kill herself and move on! <BR/><BR/>Now that being said, I've seen most if not all her movies and I still stand by my first opinion of her as an actor. She plays the same part in all her movies with the exception of "Bewitched". Her character's are all one-dimensional and morbid. I can only hope that she's the total opposite in real life. God help Keith if it isn't the case.<BR/><BR/>I'm still kicking myself for wasting good money on those DVD's.Whitetrashcheetohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851872877222325203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-83312836935211942592007-06-28T22:17:00.000-04:002007-06-28T22:17:00.000-04:00Well, perspone, I'd bet if her movies dont show an...Well, perspone, I'd bet if her movies dont show any signs of not fading out of sight right after they come out, she may re-think her PR priorities. Just as doing european ad spots for nintendo ds gameboys is a sign of desperation, urban may become a liability in her eyes, if its not showing any payoffs in the whole scheme of her faltering career. And all of urbans bending over backwards will leave him with just another attempted hollywood marriage. Not really a big deal usually, of course, but someone with both alchohol and drug problems? Could be devastating.maclenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955283353584596594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-12731294343669011862007-06-27T14:09:00.000-04:002007-06-27T14:09:00.000-04:00maclen said...

But not being a country fan, I have no intention of becoming a fan of his, especially now that hes married to kidman, who i believe is overrated and disingenous. I wish urban well on his latest tour, I just believe he's set himself up for a bad fall, and I dont believe he has the will to prevent it.maclenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04955283353584596594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-31133406978094546802007-06-26T19:09:00.000-04:002007-06-26T19:09:00.000-04:00This blog is music to my ears!Thank you for that. ...<A><I><BR/>This blog is music to my ears!<BR/>Thank you for that. <BR/><BR/>June 26, 2007 7:59 AM</A></I><BR/><BR/>You're Welcome!

I went to the Sacramento Show and the man described in this blog, was in Sacramento, and I was very pleased. It appeared he was really enjoying himself and because he was enjoying himself, was were treated to a great concert. What I am wondering is how long this will last, can his "wife" allow him this, something that is his own, or will she have to find a way to steal the spotlight and make it all about her.Persponehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06885676905032454777noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-51425610916560665662007-06-26T07:59:00.000-04:002007-06-26T07:59:00.000-04:00This blog is music to my ears!Thank you for that.This blog is music to my ears!<BR/><BR/>Thank you for that.Whitetrashcheetohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02851872877222325203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615839992616992011.post-73956997967151506552007-06-25T08:49:00.000-04:002007-06-25T08:49:00.000-04:00maclen - do you intend to take in a show at all? ...maclen - do you intend to take in a show at all?
