My friend (Pamela) and I (Scot) were very annoyed about Australia not getting any nominations and that Keith didn't win any awards last year when they both should have. So about a week or so we came up with an idea that i would make a video of our winners. We though up of many awards and people who were nominated. Most of the awards are for music and for films but there are a few that are random. So do you agree with our winners or not? Yes Keith won a lot of the awards and if you dont listen to country music you probably haven't heardsome of the winners in the music section. The songs playling are recent hits of country from Dierks Bentley, Trace Atkins, Keith Urban, Taylor Swift, Sugarland and Kid Rock (white trainers ;) ) Comments would be appreciated as Pamela and i did a lot of typing for this to happen lol :) If there is an award you dont agree with please don't order me to change it as number 1: i deleted the video from my computer and number 2: this is Pamela and I's awards and we chose them thanks :)

He performed his current hit “Everybody” for a segment that will air on Ellen’s show Monday, Oct. 22, and “Once in a Lifetime,” expected to air around Nov. 20. According to Nashville’s daily newspaper The Tennessean, Keith wished Ellen well and noted, “We all love her, and God bless her.”

THEY'RE not exactly a double act, but Australian country music superstar Keith Urban and American rock'n'roll legend John Fogerty could be trading guitar licks and more during the Easter weekend. Fogerty and Urban are among the many local and overseas artists performing at the blues and roots festivals in Byron Bay, NSW, in Point Nepean, Victoria, and in Hobart in the coming days. Urban begins a short Australian tour at the Byron Bay festival tonight, while Fogerty is on the bill there next Monday. At the other two festivals, however, Fogerty follows Urban on the main stage and there is a good chance, according to the Aussie star, that the two guitarists will perform together. "He called me yesterday but I missed the call, but I'm guessing that's what it would be about, to see if we could do something together," Urban says. It wouldn't be the first time the two men have collaborated. They worked together a couple of years ago on an American television show called Crossroads, "where they put a country and a rock artist together. It worked well," Urban says. Urban returned to Australia this week to play at a corporate function in Sydney and added other dates, including the festivals, to the itinerary to make the trip more worthwhile. The Nashville-based singer has had more homecomings in the past year than in the rest of his career put together. He reckons he has made 15 return trips to Australia since his tour last April, about the time wife Nicole Kidman began filming Baz Luhrmann's film Australia here. Now that the couple are expecting their first child in July, Urban will be stripping back his tour schedule for the rest of the year, but he says commitments in the US will keep him plane-hopping at least some of the time. Urban has just finished a full-scale US tour. The size of the production reflects just how far Urban has come since he was touring the pubs and clubs of Australia 20 years ago. The US tour employed 140 people, with 18 trucks and 12 buses to carry them and their equipment across the country. He admits the scale of it was "completely over the top", and he is looking forward to the Australian shows, which will be of a much smaller, even intimate nature. "There won't be a set list or anything like that," Urban says. "It'll be more like a club gig. This tour is so the antithesis of the American tour, so it'll be all about the music." That music has turned the New Zealand-born boy from Caboolture in Queensland into one of the most successful country artists in the world and by far the biggest country star Australia has produced. He has had two top-10 albums in the US: 2004's Be Here and Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing, released in 2006. The song Stupid Boy, for which he won the Grammy for best country music vocal last month, is one of seven No.1s the singer has had in his adopted homeland. While he may never achieve that kind of success here, he is becoming more popular. "What helped was having my greatest hits album come out in Australia," he says. "A lot of people don't know a lot of my music so that was a good way of getting it out there." If not all Australians know a Keith Urban song, most of us know who he is. Since his marriage to Kidman he has become an A-lister, albeit a reluctant one. It's important, he says, to concentrate on the music and performing rather than on the periphery of show business. "At the end of the day the music has to be able to stand up on its own," he says. "I certainly don't get out there and revel in that celebrity side of things. What I love more than anything is touring and playing music and recording. I try to keep a healthy perspective about it, but you certainly can't stop people from taking photos and putting your mug in magazines. We try and keep as low a profile as we can and try to maintain a real life." As a youngster Urban could never have imagined he would be dodging paparazzi most days of the week, at least while he was in Australia, but he did have musical ambitions from an early age. A skilled guitarist by the time he was 12, Urban was doing gigs around Caboolture with his band as a young teenager and went on the road after quitting school at 15. By the time he was 22 he had released his first solo album and was an established name on the local country circuit. That's when he decided to up sticks to Nashville and become a session guitarist. After years on the road and in the studio with the likes of American stars Brooks and Dunn and Alan Jackson, he set out on his own. "It's a real sweet spot for me, after putting in all the hard work over the years, that people now know my music," he says. "Every musician looks forward to that time when you can go and play for a couple of hours and everybody knows all the songs." Urban has two Grammys to his name alongside the millions of albums sold and the No.1s. The first was for the song You'll Think of Me in 2006. "It's an amazing award to get," he says. "This is my second one and it affected me more than the other one. It's been a hard year in a lot of ways. I wasn't able to get out and promote the record when it came out." The reason he wasn't able to go on the road caused headlines in October 2006, when he announced that he was going into rehab to receive treatment for alcohol and drug dependencies. Since completing the treatment last January, Urban has been firmly strapped to the wagon and intends to stay that way. "I take it a day at a time," he says. "That's a sure way to minimise stress; take each day as it comes." The next few days should be relatively stress-free for Urban as he struts his stuff on the bluesfest circuit and at his own shows in Sydney and Wollongong. Come July, of course, his stress levels may go up a little with a baby to look after. Fame doesn't make that any easier, he says. "We're no different to any couple that works, particularly with a family," he says. "You just have to try and find a balance. If there's no time to be found you just have to make time. That's been my aim this year, just trying to learn that balance between touring and being home. I'm grateful that I want to be home. And I'm very grateful about becoming a father, too," he adds. "It has come at a time in my life where I feel very calm and ready for it."

For the dozens of adoring Keith Urban fanciers stealing a glance at their idol, it was a moment that made them green with envy. About halfway through The Police concert in January, a beaming Urban turned to his pregnant wife, Nicole Kidman, and sang the chorus of Every Little Thing She Does Is Magic. The country music superstar was just another fan having a great night out with his wife and mates. Except for the fact he is a country music superstar and checking out a concert tends to become accidental research. "I'm just taking it in from all angles," he says about a week after the concert. "A few weeks ago, we went to see the Kings Of Leon at the Hordern Pavilion, which I'm glad I did. Mostly I lose myself, I just become one of the audience and go on the ride – when a band does their job right, everyone goes on the same ride. "But you also find yourself picking up the things not to do or stealing good ideas. "Someone said if you take too much from one person, you're stealing but if you take a bit from a lot of people, it's research." Urban also admits to the occasional bit of research on YouTube. It's the only time he gets to see himself in action as frontman and chief guitar slinger in the Keith Urban band. "YouTube is great because you get the actual fan point of view on some crap lo-fi phone," he laughs. The 40-year-old musician has plenty of perspective on his life these days. Unlike the current Hollywood bratpack who treat rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse as a quick fix to get them out of legal trouble, Urban did the hard yards, spending three months away from his bride. The musician and the actress are mostly inseparable now as they count down to the birth of their first child in July, with Urban heading back to Australia between legs of his Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Carnival Ride. While the album which Urban has been touring for the past year was inspired by meeting and courting Kidman, he says the songs have taken on a deeper meaning since they wed. "Yeah, this has been a fantastic ride. There was such a long time between the record coming out and me getting out there to perform. I'll never forget starting to tour and seeing everyone singing along to every word of the new songs," he says. "Performing in general has taken on a whole new feeling for me, certainly in light of fatherhood and so on. "It has been a beautiful journey really since that record came out. "And I'm grateful these songs are the kind of songs that can feel different to perform. They have facets to them that allow me to see them in a different light." Urban says it is difficult to articulate exactly how he feels different. One senses he doesn't want to lose the feeling by nailing it down. "It might limit the actual sensation by describing it but I think it's clarity and being aware. I'm very present these days," he says. "It all comes down to gratitude. You can spot the people who have it." Despite already wowing his Australian fans with a national tour last May, Urban was quick to say yes when asked if he wanted to perform at Australia's Easter Bluesfest for the first time. The bonus of the tour is a chance to hang out with new mate John Butler. The pair definitely struck a connection when they performed together at last year's ARIA awards, an artistic and personal bond that was so immediate it brought thousands of industry cynics to their feet. "I'm a bit nervous as well about these shows because we haven't played festivals for a long time and I would say a lot of people at the Bluesfests would never have seen us play," Urban says. "I am excited, particularly as John is on a lot of these shows. "We have no plans to play together at this stage; I think these things are best when they are spontaneous."
