Is Keith Urban the most boring singer on the planet?

[i-need-a-martini]

IN the car today an Urban song played. Not sure which one because they all sound the same. This one was particularly innocuous and sung without any passion whatsoever.

At the end my 15 year old son said "I think we just listened to the worlds most boring song." I agreed.

And then I came home and read this article which pretty much says the same thing: http://www.smh.com.au/entertainment/music/searching-for-a-heart-in-urban-country-20140622-zshqy.html

Is there ANYONE more boring?

Is Keith Urban the most boring singer on the planet?

No. That that honour goes to the wooden Leona Lewis, and her funeral dirges. Cringeworthy. 

However, can't say I've ever heard of Keith Urban, so maybe he does beat her - but not as obsessed with his looks.

No way! He's gorgeous!

Quite possibly.
I've been watching The Voice Kids. Those kids are awesome!!!


But he does look nice, and he's originally a Kiwi 🙂

Keith was very good on the first series of The Voice, very genuine. 

Kiwi Keith!

Even closer, Whangarei Keith 🙂

Sue he is a bit easy on the eyes. Altho he is a bit short for my taste.

But it's his music that is cringeworthingly sleep enducing blah.

I really liked him at first, but quickly realised all his songs sounded much the same so if you'd heard one you'd heard them all. Just heard one in the car about 10 minutes ago, forgotten what it was already lol.

I have friends that have tickets to go and see him for about the 3rd or 4th time.

He kind of rubs me the wrong way because in the States, at least, he markets himself as a Country music singer--and, mind you, I'm no fan of Country music, anyway. And you don't have to be from Texas to be a good Country music artist. But I just get the feeling that maybe it was an easier genre for him to break into and that's the only reason why he's up on that stage excepting CMA awards. So much of Country music these days is watered down Rock or really just Pop sung underneath a cowboy hat. Maybe because the artists  don't have the talent (and soul) it takes to be a "true" Country snger?

But they often don't have the talent to be true Rock or Pop or Jazz or, whatever, singer either. Maybe that's why their songs often sound so uninspiring and alike.

I saw Urban on a TV shopping channel hawking his guitars and he seems like a very nice guy though. And I agree--he's darn cute too! And his marriage to Nicole seems genuine at least--unlike that sham of a marriage she had with Creepy Cruise.

I'm not keen on country music either, and I'm not particularly fussed about Keith Urban but I do like his songs and his presentation. I don't think I'd want to listed to a whole CD or rush to any of his concerts though.

He's ok, there's plenty of boring singers that make me want to hit the scan button. Like Alicia Keys, for instance.
