Q: Why the full frontal shots of the little girl?
A: It could be that the little girl and Nicole were accidentally caught while going to Gymboree; that is of course assuming the photographers hang all over Nashville looking for Nicole since she is more famous than anyone down there. Or they were called. But if they were called, why now? Could it be that the CD is not so great, so putting new pictures of the little girl out there would lead interviewers to ask about that instead of focusing on the music?
Have any of you read the track by track explanation of Defying Gravity by Keith Urban? If you have case closed. If you haven’t, you can read it here:
http://www.roughstock.com/blog/keith-urban-defying-gravity-song-by-song/
He has yet again tied the music to his personal life and if the last CD was any indication, the music was weak. Of course another reason could be the recent stories about another famous little girl not having any friends, so showing this little girl interacting or supposedly so makes her a step above that other little girl. Just saying.

Umyths, Keith's cd's were always attached to his personal life, as if you didn't already know or want to admit. Its now turned though and you don't like his personal life. You don't approve of Nicole so you think its a bad album from the start. The fact you can't separate the two and listen to the music and how it relates to you and your own life is your problem. Your mental block, your issue.
Can't rise above your hatred for NK? Don't buy the music and freaking move on.
And the gossip machine will be asking if NK is pregnant for the next ten years. It doesn't matter what she does, wears, or says. "Babywatch" is now the norm and it's probably only going to get worse for female celebs everywhere.
And that Suri story was from last year. Desperately attaching some cute pics to some gossip trash that's not even related or probably true is idiotic. The two aren't even in the same age range which makes the comparison just plain stupid to begin with.
More negative stuff from this sad, pathetic blogger. Hon, get a REAL life and try to something POSITIVE with it.
nice blog.......i'm not sure about this new cd....yet, but the man just seems to have lost his muse or the wife scared it away....
at least i feel like he's at least TRYING with the music, but i'll have to hear more than just snippets to form an opinion
oh, and duh on the photographs.....and do SOMETHING with that hair woman.....
that poor baby always looks unhappy, and she never looks comfortable with her mother....sad, it really is for the poor little girl.
back to the music, i'm afraid the man had his heyday with GR and BH...hard to compete with those two.
I like some of the snippets I heard. Even Thank You.. the new GIRTT but I agree not his best but sometimes even the mediocre songs and be fantastic live. He has the ability to put a whole different spin on them. You can listen to snippets here..

I like the songs I've heard too. I am a skeptic - skeptical of this relationship but not because I hate her - never really cared much about her either way (although I did think she was "cute" before she messed with her face and had nicer hair). I'm skeptical because I don't see love b/w them. I don't get any vibe that he's in this for anything more than PR - and I don't think she's EVER in anything for more than just PR so I don't believe this is a fairytale. All that said, I don't let my skepticism for the marriage at all affect the music for me. I like a song - or I don't. I liked a few from Love,Pain but none was fabulous. These new songs aren't his best work either, but I see effort and I really like what I've heard so far....
So, will the orb progress or reveal more maturity than was shown in his last single...which had the mentality of a 17 year old... or has the 40+ year old...married with a kid... been emotionally shunted by the marriage to "petra pan?"
I don't see that all of these songs are about Nicole...and it looks as if most of them weren't even written by just him...of course some are about her, but that's a given and it doesn't bother me much anymore.
I've only heard 2 of these songs so far but I'll have to check out the others before deciding to buy it. I may just download the ones I like this time.
"Of course another reason could be the recent stories about another famous little girl not having any friends, so showing this little girl interacting or supposedly so makes her a step above that other little girl. Just saying."
Clearly kidman is all set to enter the well known domain of katie and little suri...although I am not too sure how the orb fits into all this. All this of course up till now has basically been a kidman PR production...again the orb doesnt seem to have too big a role in the deal beyond an occasional appearence, and does serve a slight purpose, I suppose, of trailing mom and kid carrying the diaper bag. But then again, too high a profile of the orb as a dad wouldnt fit in with his recent career path of going up against the likes of tweener taylor swift and teeny boppers jonas bros...so I wouldnt expect any JJ or GG photos of the orb playing in the park with the kid or simply seen out and about...that's kidman's part. Although kidman's film career is in shambles, I have no doubt that she can always find work over at best buds Murdoch's Fox, or in the possible case, over at Fox Searchlight and the film Rabbit Hole... which I certainly suspect is the reason for the ramping up of the recent "suri-esque" photo ops...or the "is she expecting again" hints at the oscars and at the japan premiere. So again, how the orb fits into all this, I dont know...
Good question maclen and one I've been asking myself when I look at the PR BS that swirls around kidman...how does Keith fit into any of this??
I do like some of what I have heard on the new cd...I don't think it has the potential of BH or GR but time will tell.
maclen do you go along with everything UMyths puts out? Now photos of a mom carrying her child outside are "Suri-esque". That is just beyond stupid.
And to banbotox or nomorefan, or whatever you want to be called Keith doesn't fit in. These preggo rumors were going on month after month before Nicole and Keith met when she was unmarried. The gossip machine has gotten worse and more prevalent into mainstream culture and that's why the rumors continue. They've got nothing to gossip about for NK in terms of dating and she isn't in a public feud with Tom, (they gossips already tried that one) so whats left??? Hmmm...what they're doing to every other actress...is she pregnant today!
rc - it's me . . . ya know . . . nomorefan! Get your skeptics straight! *shaking my head*
My son heard "I Wish I Could Kiss a Girl" today, and he asked if Taylor Swift is writing songs for Keithy now!
That song title cracks me up I keep thinking the whole title should be I wish I Could Kiss A Real Girl Instead of This Hideous Tranny With The Big Ass Fish LIps. That way we would know for sure the song was about Kidman
You know, while I think commerically this will do well for Keith.. But as a friend said, their doesn't appear to be any songs that would "inspire" someone to make changes in their life like some of his past music, like You're Not Alone Tonight, You Won or Days Go By.
And yes I will buy the CD..
I will buy it too. I like some of the songs and I think it'll do better than LP&TWCT.
But as you said, these songs don't have alot of substance. They're catchy, radio friendly fluff. In five years, we will likely still hear songs like Days Go By on the radio. I don't think we'll hear Sweet Thing!
For a man of 41 yr, who has lived the life Keith has, he could be writing songs with depth and substance. I think that's what disappoints some of the older fans.
However, I like the songs I've heard. I need to hear all the album to judge whether it's all "fluff."
rc - it's me . . . ya know . . . nomorefan! Get your skeptics straight! *shaking my head*
Oh I've got it straight! nomorefan/banbotox...you should love this. One of the skeptics finally let it slip.
Madison let it out of the bag that the real reason for your little nickname for Sunday, you know... "Suro", isn't all innocent like you want us to believe.
"...why do you call her Suro? That is not her name. That was a name put on her as a joke to sound like Tom's baby."
Remember when the skeptics flat-out lied, including you, and said "Suro" was just faster and easier to type? Remember when you made up that bs that her first name was Sunday Rose, only Kidman was her middle, and that's why you combined the two? Remember when you completely denied it even though a poster figured out the Tom connection and called you out on it? Remember when you tried to turn it around on another poster and say it was no big deal because she will be teased at school. Remember before Sunday was born and the skeptics swore they would never name-call a baby, while at the same time calling her "the fetus"? Remember when you claimed it was all about KUNK because you would never bash an innocent baby?
More and more of these things will be coming out. Mostly by the skeptics own hands. Because the skeptics have been at it too long and they are getting sloppy. Which is also how we know you are banbotox and nomorefan.
RC, please don't lump all skeptics into ONE group. Some use "Suro" in reference to Sunday Rose. Some may have used it to shorten the name and others to parallel Tom's Suri.
Personally, I believe that all of us, skeptics and non-skeptics alike, are entitled to our OWN opinions, and making our OWN statements without being accused of believing what everyone else believes and saying the same things. I'm sick of being lumped together as if we don't have minds of our own.
I'm sure Nomorefan can explain herself why she uses Suro in reference to Sunday Rose ... just as the poster on E can make an assumption of why Suro is used by some posters. People may have different reasons. I call her Sunday Rose...
I have not seen skeptics saying bad things about this little girl. Most are very concerned for her well being...that's been my experience. So regardless of what people call her, there have been no malicious comments toward this baby, that I've read.
I've been more concerned about the non-skeptics who appear to be willing to justify everything that NK does regardless of how this child is impacted.

Now that's earth shattering stuff. RC I get the feeling you were one of the whining chicks that always ran to tell the teacher when anyone did the slightest thing wrong.
I can't believe you are standing up for this peice of work. Nomorefan is THE RINGLEADER of the skeptics on E! And she pretends to be a saint of a woman. A loving mother and wife. The other posters are supposed to fall in line with whatever she says. And the ones on E! who call her Suro aren't doing it to save themselves from carpal tunnel. They lie about the reasons they are on the E! board night and day and when they get called out on it they lie again. Nomorefan is the main perpetrator. Ask her about NHA United. She denied knowing what it was more than once to posters and she's a moderator over there!!!
http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/2a6e9a1967.jpg
nomorefan/banbotox can't deny its existence anymore!!!
I said last year before Sunday's birth the skepti-haters, the hard core ones, will come up with a nasty moniker...and I was 100% right.
RC.. I don't care what they say on the EBoard and they normally don't post over here.
I happen to know that banbotox and nomorefan are not one in the same.
If you have a problem with an e poster take it up with them.. and not here. And as imahick said..stop lumping us together. We all have our different degrees of skeptism.
OK back to the music. He played Til Summer Comes Around last night. It was great. You can find it in You Tube
Keith is way too old to sing or write songs that are on this new list of his.
You can tell he's still chasing sugar babies. I think the cad is dillusional (Spelling, sorry) and I was a fan since the early 90's!!
I saw the Youtube of Til Summer Comes Around. I loved it. Killer guitar solo and great rhythm and blusey feel.
Just an FYI for ya'll realitycheck IS countrycat on E! realitycheck/countrycat may I suggest you go see Dr. Phil? I think he is the only one that can help you right now. You are definitely over the top. As far as NHA - sorry, I'm not a mod - you are wrong again! There are no mods on the board. Are you sure the board is even active anymore? Is your first name Reyna?
As far as Suro, hey so what? How many wonderful things have you said about the Brangelina family on E? You rip them apart because you can't stand Angelina. Why is that okay for you, but we can't have our opinions about Skank? Oh, that's right, you are an active member of NKU!
As I explained on E, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban's first full name is Sunday Rose. Kidman is her middle name. There is no hyphen, so it is not her last name. I choose not to type Sunday Rose out every time I refer to her. I shortened it to Suro. Just like all the nicknames for other stars, for example, Brangelina, Bennifer, JLo, etc. I have never once bashed Suro. I feel sorry for the child. She will have one messed up life living in the same house with Skank. Remember Bella & Connor crying at the foot of Skank's closed bedroom door because Skank had to pout for a few days?
Just because Madison may call Suro to link her to Suri, doesn't mean I do. I have no clue who Madison is on E. She can have her opinion, and I have mine. Madison does NOT speak for me. Like Imahick said, don't lump us all together.
Thanks ShutUpAndSing for verifying who I am and am not on here!
I can't wait for more messed up info to be posted on your lame blog. I hope Dr. Phil takes your phone call soon, realitycheck/countrycat.
ShutUpAndSing - I will agree with you. This should be handled on E, but realitycheck will not publicly admit who she is on here or on E. Imagine that, the bad skeptics are suppose to come out of the woodwork, but I don't hear her identifying herself. So until she shuts up on here, I have no choice.
Shutup, thats another lie...nomorefan/banbotox, cricket, berryhill, bstnactrs, imahick, the list goes on. Past and present posters. Some of them use different screen names but they all read here, if not post. This is just another ruse to get people to think there's more skeptics than there really are. I finally revealed banbotox as being nomorefan, and coincidentally after nomorefan comes back from vacation on the 12th and posts on the E! board she pops up here as nomorefan for the very first time, claiming to be her own person....on the 12th! She's pulled the same stunt on E!, claiming to only be one poster. They never get away with it. Does anyone remember givethanks on E! She attempted to come back as NewBeginnings without anyone questioning her. She denied it for weeks. But we all knew better.
Look, their sneaky activities dont mean anything except for the big picture. Look who is fueling this...people who will lie and deceive and manipulate to try and convince KUNK is trash. Why do you think its okay for them to be horrible to those whjo are fans. Why do you think its okay for them to lie to everyone, meanwhile they are posting away on multiple skeptic boards they want to keep secret. They are the ones you are getitgn your information from, they are the ones sending stories to gossip bloggers. Still waiting for Ted and his big Kidman reveal? He's got nothing. He bought into the story the skeptics wanted him to, that Antonia is the mother. But he's stuck...no actual proof and he's been silent for weeks. Funny how that works.
And I see the negative thread is coming to peices. Without Nomorefan and Mimosa to steer the discussion, there's several skeptics at it actually arguing.What a surprise.
nomorefan, I've always said I don't post on E!, I only read. So I don't have a screen name to identify myself with. I'm realitycheck here and on UMR. I don't have any close connections to you or your clique, so finding stuff out about me will be impossible. I don't put it out on the internet.
This can't be handled on E! because the mod doesnt respect posters who aren't skeptics. I don't know if he/she is one but you've got them doing your bidding and its so obvious, even to someone like me that's not involved in the mistreatment. You feel its okay to mock Monkeyville members and NKU members on E! so you shouldn't have a problem with bringing this from another board. We all know what I've said is true.
RC, honestly, you sound very paranoid.
To be honest, I think you are a very misguided person to think that you should protect Keith and NK to this extent, that you'd spend time on the internet attacking the skeptics and doing exactly what you acuse us of doing every day.
Do you not see the hipocracy of that?
No.
Its not about KUNK. KUNK will be fine. These people are liars and have gone after the fans. The skeptihaters are nasty to the core. You've read the E! boards, you know exactly what I'm talking about.
nomorefan you can rant on all you like, but I've said the truth and the truth hurts.
There are extreme posts on BOTH side of the fence. That's what I see on E. There are people who attack the non-skeptics and an equal degree of nastiness toward the skeptics.
As far as the Mods being in the "skeptic's" pockets, I saw more attempts to limit the skeptic's activities than any other topic on the board.
The non-skeptics cannot keep it to the topic. There are attacks on the posters over and over, rather than posts about KUNK.
That's how I see it. I do agree that some of the posts are extreme, but that is on both sides, in my opinion.
realitycheck - you have things so f'ed up, it is unbelievable.
"I finally revealed banbotox as being nomorefan"
No you haven't - we are two different people!
I'm nomorefan on E - that's it nothing more. Every person you mentioned are all separate individuals. FYI - NewBeginnings got banned because of bashing posts. She may have been givethanks at one time, so what? Should we start a list of all the bunnies who have gotten banned and came back with alternative names - how about itshotnla? Now she is ithotnla - why don't you go after her? How about ConcertGoers, Concertgoers, ConcertGoer - personally, I have lost track of all the different variations of this name - all bunnies?
"They are the ones you are getitgn your information from, they are the ones sending stories to gossip bloggers."
Sorry, wrong again. I have never done this either!
"Without Nomorefan and Mimosa to steer the discussion, there's several skeptics at it actually arguing.What a surprise."
Thanks for calling me the ring leader of the skeptics. I really didn't know I had so much power! Actually, the real smart skeptics are onto what is happening on E. We see it plain as day. You can't fool us!
"Why do you think its okay for them to be horrible to those whjo are fans."
Have you ever been called a jealous troll before?
"This can't be handled on E! because the mod doesnt respect posters who aren't skeptics."
Bull - you don't post on E. How did you find out about NHA then? Oh, and I don't believe the topic about me being a mod on there ever came up. Again, I'm not a mod, and you should really find out if the board is active anymore.
"coincidentally after nomorefan comes back from vacation on the 12th and posts on the E! board she pops up here as nomorefan for the very first time, claiming to be her own person....on the 12th!"
You are really scaring me now realitycheck. I'm beginning to think the police need to get involved. You are watching me way too close. Yea, I came back from vacation on the 11th - late in the evening. Got a problem with it? Would you like to see my travel documents? Perhaps you would like to see my stamped passport showing that I left the country on the 5th and returned on the 11th. Maybe you should search the US Customs website and see if you can find out anyhing about me over there. I bet it really bugs you that you can't figure out where I went from what I posted on E. Can't a skeptic take a spring break vacation? I was a little bit too busy packing for my vacation to waste the time to come out of the "woodwork" for your sake before the 5th.
"This can't be handled on E! because the mod doesnt respect posters who aren't skeptics."
If you hadn't noticed, there was one poster on E that was constantly posting and big buddies with the bunnies on E - perhaps she is Mod on E, but you, of course, would already know that, right?
You are really desperate and it is really making you look sick and pathetic realitycheck. Have they run out of Kool-Aid over on NKU?
"nomorefan you can rant on all you like, but I've said the truth and the truth hurts."
Ah, no it doesn't because you are completely delusional! I'm fine - I'm not feeling any pain, but I bet you are!
Just an FYI for ya'll realitycheck IS countrycat on E! realitycheck/countrycat may I suggest you go see Dr. Phil?
Its very telling you try and out me with bad information only when you've been exposed.
think he is the only one that can help you right now. You are definitely over the top. As far as NHA - sorry, I'm not a mod - you are wrong again!
No I'm not. You have to get approval to get into the board. You're one of the gatekeepers, mods,moderators, whatever you want to call it.
There are no mods on the board. Are you sure the board is even active anymore?
Yes I am. You want to keep pretending? Shall we talk about KunkWorld or another separate board called Urban Myths? I can post pics of those boards too.
Is your first name Reyna?
No. But if you want to think that's my name go ahead.
As far as Suro, hey so what? How many wonderful things have you said about the Brangelina family on E? You rip them apart because you can't stand Angelina. Why is that okay for you, but we can't have our opinions about Skank? Oh, that's right, you are an active member of NKU!
Active member of NKU yes, poster on E! no.
As I explained on E, Sunday Rose Kidman Urban's first full name is Sunday Rose. Kidman is her middle name.
And so is Rose. People have two middle names. Ask one of my uncles.
Just because Madison may call Suro to link her to Suri, doesn't mean I do. I have no clue who Madison is on E. She can have her opinion, and I have mine. Madison does NOT speak for me. Like Imahick said, don't lump us all together.
Thanks ShutUpAndSing for verifying who I am and am not on here!
Another skeptic doesn't verify another skeptic as far as I'm concerned. You will stick up for one another just for the cause of trashing people.
I can't wait for more messed up info to be posted on your lame blog. I hope Dr. Phil takes your phone call soon, realitycheck/countrycat.
I have no blog so you'll be waiting a very long time.
The facts speak for themselves.
"No I'm not. You have to get approval to get into the board. You're one of the gatekeepers, mods,moderators, whatever you want to call it."
You were caught in a trap - I love it! If you want to think that is my email address go ahead! Have you ever heard of setting up a bogus email to reply to some outsider who out of the blue wants to get on a private board? Your request to became a member really stands out when the board has no activity anymore! Do you honestly think a real email address would be used to reply to you?
Wow, RealityCheck, CountryCat, Paula,whoever you are. I think you need some SERIOUS psychiatric help. WOW!!
RC..what is going on.. we don't see eye to eye on things but you are now going way over the top.
And sorry.. I do know what I am talking about..NMF and banbotox are indeed to different people.

Ha! good one...but you're only realizing that now? I predict this thread will be also taken over by "user on user" bickering... similar to the 150 post thread "A baaybee... Oh, No! Not Again!" which was about 75% of personal bickering. But to each their own, i guess.
You were caught in a trap - I love it! If you want to think that is my email address go ahead!
Email address? I never mentioned any email address--you just did.
Have you ever heard of setting up a bogus email to reply to some outsider who out of the blue wants to get on a private board?
If you want to talk email addresses...Why are you claiming to have sent one to me when you say the board is inactive in the first place? And if you say you are getting requests then you must be one of the founders or leaders of the group. I think we all know how message boards work. It is amusing though you are trying to throw me off by saying a skeptic board died out. Funny.
Your request to became a member really stands out when the board has no activity anymore!
You can claim whatever you want...
Do you honestly think a real email address would be used to reply to you?
I'll tell what's what. Someone I know attempted to join a long time ago and got your email. It matches up with another user name I happened to discover you use somewhere else on another site w/ KU stuff. We were talking and put the pieces together. When you claim that the email is bogus and used just to throw me off, and when you use your REAL NAME as the sender, when I didn't need to contact you in the first place to get that knowledge, that's completely cracking me up.
Hey nomore did you make fun of RC's scrapbook page or something?
Back to the blog post. Last week was the big Country Music Radio week in Nashville. A time you'd expect some out of the usual press coverage - i. e. pap shots of the local celebs. Not one shot of KUNK that whole week and then a week later some photographer just happened to find her at gymboree. So was NK there for a free first visit or will she be attending on a regular basis? Will we get weekly pictures leading up to the album release?
realitycheck - do you know how message boards work? When a person requests to be a member, the administrator gets notified. Do you understand English? I already said that the admin contacted all the members to see if we knew who you were because there has been no activity on the board, and that's when I stepped in to help out. We already knew what you were trying to do and are currently doing on E? Why hasn't your other personality been on E lately?
not anon - yea, I guess I made of fun of it, and told her that her buckeyes taste burnt!
I don't think this new album will have any substance just like the Painful album. My radio station doesn't play anything from the Painful album anymore - just the oldies. I think that really says so much about what a lame album that was, and IMHO, the two songs he has recently kicked out follow along with the Painful album.
So in other words, are people here suggesting I save my money, and just burn the new CD from the local library? Surely Keith's new album couldn't be any worse than LPATWDT? I thought Gran was supposed to be the inspiration of all inspirations? Two careers in one household flushed down the loo is not good in these times of recession, you know.
I am still hopeful. I like what I've heard so far. It's not Golden Road. It's not Be Here. But it's also not Painful! I do agree that these are songs without lots of substance, and they probably won't have longevity on the radio, but I like some songs based on the hear and now. There are lots of artists who put out great songs that are hits, never to be played much years later. The new trend in music seems to be going for the "here and now radio hits" lately. I don't get it, but it's true. I liken this to his marriage - it's just sort of "here and now" too. It won't have longevity either, so he just can't think much beyond that right now....and I'm willing to give him a break for that, I guess.
I agree that many of his newer songs won't be heard on the radio in five years. They're fluff. He used to be able to write songs with more substance (i.e. You Won) but I think his life holds nothing besides "balance" now and he's out of material beyond that fluff to write about.
I did really like "When Summer Comes Around" (a version from the Mar 14th show is on You Tube). I think it's just different enough to stick.
I think DG will be better than LP&TWCT. It is not going to exceed GR or BH ... but I think it has promise and I'll be buying it.
Keith uses his present experiences to write from (historically). Now he lives a life that is not joyous nor chaotic nor tumultuous, but it's comfortable. Thus the music is comfortable. No angst, no true joy, no "meat"...just fluff, like his life. The passion is gone, but he can write a song that will catch the ear of the radio listener and that's what Sweet Thing is. There's nothing wrong with Sweet Thing. But for a 41 yr old man who has been through what Keith has, you'd expect a bit more "edge" and "substance" ... that's all.
That's what I am sort of thinking Imahick - how many 30 - 40 year-old men can relate to "Kiss A Girl"? At that age, they are kissing a woman. Teenagers can now relate to his songs, but if he is looking at maintaining an adult male audience, he is losing them with songs like "Sweet Thing" and "Kiss A Girl".
I still laugh when I think about the music survey I got months ago when they wanted detailed opinions on "Got It Right This Time - A Celebration". I always get those surveys when an artist is deciding on the next released single. Interesting that this Painful song didn't get released. They didn't get the feedback they were expecting.
I'd just like to add a quick comment... to those of you that believed we were one in the same, we really are two different people. Sadly, nomorefan needed to mention it more than once...
While I do tend to agree with nomorefan, I have my own opinions and when I feel the need, I make them public. (No offense to you normorefan.)
You know, a quick check to look up our IP addressess to would settle that...I wonder why they haven't doen that? Maybe b/c it would disprove their theory and they'd be wrong - again?
