The Voice is coming to Australia, and Aussie country crooner Keith Urban is one of the judges along with Seal and Joel Madden. Now, if only I could watch this version along with the US version, I’d be a happy girl.

I just never get tired of looking at this beautiful Australian family.   Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman were spotted in LA taking their adorable daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith, for a play date at ROMP on Feb. 5.

Last night, Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium was busting at the seams to watch the very last Grand Ole Opry show of the season, and the very last performance on the floor that supported the steps of legends. Last night’s crowd may have also been a little bigger than usual because Keith Urban performed for the first time in public since his vocal chord surgery in November.

The only shows Keith had to cancel due to the surgery were two Grand Ole Opry performances. Well, he more than made up for it last night. Monkeyville members were obvious and everywhere to see and hear Keith for the first time in what seemed like ages. They were not disappointed. Keith was the last performer to take the stage last night, and was given a longer than the usual two-song set.

First Keith performed a beautiful rendition of “Long Hot Summer” with a string quartet. Wow, this totally changes the feeling of the song…makes it very whistful and almost sad. He also performed “You Gonna Fly” with a full band, “Making Memories of Us” totally acoustic, even unplugging and letting the crowd sing a full chorus, and “Somebody Like You.” I must say, Keith sounded better than ever with a new smoothness to his voice, and he looked thrilled to be performing again.

It was a great night, one many will never forget. I won’t lie…many of Keith’s fans thought “tonight is the night” while sitting in their pews. There was something in the air, and the stars seemed to be aligned. We were certain we were there to witness Keith Urban be asked to join The Grand Ole Opry. We all left a tad disappointed wondering “Why?”, but we’re certain his time will come. In the meantime, we got to see first hand that nothing can keep that man down.

Also performing the Opry last night were Jim Ed Brown, Eden’s Edge who gave a goosebump-inducing acoustic performance, The Oak Ridge Boys who got a standing ovation for an acapella version of “Amazing Grace” and a foot-stomping “Elvira,” and the legendary Charley Pride who performed “Kissed an Angel Good Morning.”

So many legendary folks have paced those old floor boards since 1951…The next great artists will get to make their mark on the new floor.

It’s always great to see Keith Urban out and about with his wife Nicole Kidman but when we get to see them out their kids it’s even more of a treat.  Looks like Keith and Nicole took daughter Faith Margaret out on the town in Los Angeles on Wednesday (February 1).

Nicole is currently working on her new movie “The Paperboy” while Keith is getting ready to head back to Australia to start taping for The Voice.

Keith Urban’s “You Gonna Fly”, the fourth single from Get Closer, is charging up the airplay charts hitting #5 this week marking the four-time Grammy Award winner’s 27th Top 5. It follows two consecutive #1s, “Long Hot Summer” and “Without You”, and begins a week that will see Urban’s return to the stage this Friday night at The Opry in Nashville. The performance is his first since throat surgery late last year.

“I’m really looking forward to being back on stage, and more specifically on the Opry stage. When I was told earlier this week that the Ryman was going to start renovations on the stage after our show I thought, ‘you know, when we say we’re really gonna tear it up tonight, maybe they’re worried I mean it literally?”

Later this month, Urban will head to Sydney for a week of filming for the Australian version of “The Voice”. Urban will pop back and forth to Australia over the next few months while maintaining a busy schedule here in the United States that includes a second show at the Opry, the much anticipated third annual “All For The Hall” benefit concert on April 10th among other appearances and performances.

“It’ll be a blast spending a little time in Australia working on The Voice, getting the opportunity to try and help some killer raw talent blossom,” said Urban. “And I have a feeling that being immersed in that new kind of “everything is possible” energy, will have a real inspiring and liberating effect on creating new music for my new album!”

Much of Urban’s time over the course of the year will be spent at home in Nashville, where he’s already begun writing and finding songs for his next album. No release date set as of yet.
