Sometimes, being runner-up isn't so bad -- especially if it leads you to one of the most prestigious stages in country music. 'American Idol' runner-up Kree Harrison made her Grand Ole Opry debut on Tuesday (June 4), sharing the stage with both Kellie Pickler and Keith Urban.
Keith Urban has revealed a surprising source of influence and inspiration for his upbeat new single 'Little Bit of Everything,' which will appear on his new album 'Fuse,' due out Sept. 10. The country superstar revealed that he borrowed a little from a 2001 Madonna track.
As had been rumored for a while, Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj have both publicly confirmed that they are leaving 'American Idol' after this season, following the announcement that Randy Jackson was also retiring. This leaves Keith Urban as the last judge standing, though perhaps not for long.
The 2013 CMT Music Awards will be a big night in country music, boasting a terrific lineup of fan-favorite acts, including the King himself. Recently added to the mix are George Strait, Keith Urban and Lady Antebellum, making this evening a truly entertaining country music party.
Most average people hate their jobs, toiling away to earn a wage and to make ends meet. It is a rare and precious few who get to do what they love for a living, and Keith Urban is one of those fortunate folks when it comes to being a judge on the embattled 'American Idol.' The singer and guitarist wants to return to his seat for Season 13 in 2014 and with good reason.
'American Idol' season 12 finalist Kree Harrison performed on the show's finale Thursday night (May 16), and she was joined by judges Keith Urban and Randy Jackson for a high-energy rendition of Urban's hit 'Where the Blacktop Ends.'
'American Idol' judge Keith Urban sang his current single 'Little Bit of Everything' on the hit reality singing competition on Thursday night (May 16), showing the contestants how it's done in the big leagues with a polished, tight and energetic performance.
After the news broke last week that Randy Jackson will be departing 'American Idol' at the end of its 12th season, fellow judge and country star Keith Urban has revealed who will be taking his place -- sort of.
Perhaps it should be no surprise that after five months spent judging 'American Idol,' Keith Urban has delivered his most pop-friendly single to date in 'Little Bit of Everything.' The talented singer and guitarist uses tricks in production that a less established singer would be skewered for. The result is a delightful summer jam that's short on nutritional content.
Like many world-class performers, Keith Urban has hilarious stories of his highly unpredictable life as a touring musician. He recently appeared on Conan O'Brien's late night TV show and revealed a few entertaining highlights of the past few months, including a body part he didn't think he'd ever autograph and what it was like to play with the Rolling Stones.
After a season of plummeting ratings, all four 'American Idol' judges will be fired and replaced -- along with one of the show's main producers, according to the latest rumors.
'American Idol' used to be the hottest show on television, but after 13 years, it's starting to show its age. The show's ratings have slipped from regularly having 30 million viewers to now somewhere around 11 million. And though the show has had some different judges over the course of its run, it's now looking to ditch all four current judges to have a fresh face for season 13.
