Keith Urban performing at George Strait: ACM Artist of the Decade Concert

[LittyCat82]

I agree, people like Keath urban, taylor swift and faith hill cater to the pop market. How is that real country. If we're not careful they'll go sing at the bet awards. Fucking lame.

[sara31tx]

don't understand why people would talk crap about George on here! and don't try and compare him to Keith Urban..they are two very different artist. Keith Urban is a fan of George and he is paying tribute to him!

[countryhank93]

He sounds really good singing real country. This is what he should be singing instead of that stuff that ain't country at all

[cimeje]

Keith is such a class act....everything he does is always with impeccable taste, respect, honor, talent....well, just class. He is the consummate artist not to mention such a cool and sexy guy!!!

[kindredhearts]

Could someone take this clip off please? It isn't nice to listen too. The tv sounds are so loud and tinny.

[mark198843]

george strait is the king of country.

[RadiateYourLove94]

Stop with the not REAL Country. -_- They are different kinds of country music. Get a freaking life and stop coming on here & watching videos when all you're gonna do is criticize people.

[lgas37]

AWESOME

[CanadianCountryFan1]

Of course the George fans would diss Ketih because he is better - he actually plays the guitar and interacts with his fans - unlike zombie George!

[girlegrl54]

@CanadianCountryFan1 hahaha "zombie Georgie"

omgosh I love it!!! :)

[naceface101]

@CanadianCountryFan1 george strait is the king of country music. he plays guitar too thats why he's still around today. he's been playing music probably longer than you and i have been around. He's a true legend. not a "zombie"

[sara31tx]

@CanadianCountryFan1 George sings which is what he is supposed to do..thats all he owes us fans...Keith Urban is good but I witnessed him kick a security guard in the head for no reason and after that I lost all respect for him.

[derickanderson05]

Keith Urban is not country music. Sorry.

[girlegrl54]

@derickanderson05

he is played on every county radio station...so your little statement is far from the truth

[cynt7644]

Fantastic performance from Keith, Marty Robbins was another great Artist, George Strait Love you and all your music....as an actor in Pure Country your were phenomenal!!

[thetexan07]

oh wow El Paso =]] i hardly hear that song =]] haha im glad they made a song about El Paso =]] haha Im glad im a El Paso citizen =]] even that Rosas Cantina lol =]]

[skeetv123]

@ cabshirazz I would agree. Real country or the brand that Strait, Alan Jackson, Garth Brooks, and Brooks and Dunn play is called honky tonk and western swing, which is country music there's no other way you can break it down. Urban obviously plays pop and rock music with country flavor hence his guitar and banjo's and violins and does take influence from the genre. This was refreshing to see him play Marty Robbins, Urban suits the music well.

[benestina]

Keith was fantastic!!! As a teenager, I loved Marty Robbins music. Keith's performance was phenomenal. I was in tears just listening to him sing these songs. Keith you're the greatest!!! I loved him in his suit and tie!!! I saw Keith in concert in Salt Lake City, and he was incredible.

[sammydancer]

thank you sammy dancer for always putting out great videos!!! love it.

[Xxbladeajn88xX]

Beautiful voice, doing wonderful job with Marty's songs! He certainly is deserving of his award.

[Mame925]

The Limberlos Girl, if you had watched the show, you would know that in honoring George they also honored the four previous artists of the decade....its been explained why Urban covered Robbins....

This video gives me chill bumps. Long been an Urban fan, and been a Robbins fan since before Urban was born; exceptionally well done.

[australianfan]

@Mame925 Well said !

[steelcurtain1977]

ya know if george had a problem with it i am sure he would have said so so i say he sings what he wants and marty was a major influence on george strait

[alwayssme]

all i know is keith can sing slower country songs and yodel ilike him best with slow songs

[cdimond01]

the whole point of Keith singing Marty Robbins is because he was the first artist of the decade.

[TheLimberlostGirl]

Urban should have done a George Strait song, this tribute was to honor George, not Marty, it seems disrespectful to George. Honor Marty on a special remembering him.

[girlegrl54]

I think you missed the entire point as to why Keith did a small tribute to Marty....Keith was amazing as always

[jeremiahj13]

so im not the only one who thought so. I would be offended if I was George. But then again, I get offended easily. LOL

[richie12901]

you have understand these events are planned. If he was asked to do Marty Robbins, then thats what he had to do or should i say made the choice to do. To have an artist who performs like that means alot to that person who is doing it...

[chloecat22]

@TheLimberlostGirl

You must have missed the point at the beginning of the show where it was mentioned that all previous artists of the decade would receive a small tribute; which is why Keith did this, Faith honored Loretta Lynn, Montgomery Gentry honored Alabama and Martina McBride honored Garth Brooks.

[margieruthsmith]

@TheLimberlostGirl he was suppose to honor Marty, as a past winner, so no disrespect was made to George, and Keith sounded AMAZING!!!! as always

[urbanlover66]

@TheLimberlostGirl

I'M NOT GOING TO WASTE MY KU TIME ON YOU....

[cabshirazz]

Keith Urban sings that bubble-gummy crap country--not real country. He sounds like he'd be if he applied himself and started to sing REAL country!

Congrats to George...long overdue.

[girlegrl54]

'bubble-gummy crap'? i think not...listen to Keiths albums...he isa true country musician!

[mehl3]

@girlegrl54 I think what cabshirazz was saying is...Keith is no Hank, Merle, Waylon, Kristofferson, Cash, Travis, Willie, or Strait. Those men are real Country. But Keith is a heck of a musician and i like his stuff, but he is not tradition "true" country even though his roots are from true country.

[09kanga]

@cabshirazz lol he is real country music... your just a dick hole

[rashelle97]

@09kanga excuse me for asking but when did a polite display of opinions turn into a bitch-out session

[1JCRxxx]

its a same that he sings that fake country/pop shit cuz he could be one hell of a true country singer

[juloli123]

Keith Urban was awesome here! It would be great if he could put out an "original country sound"

[alwayssme]

@juloli123 i agree, he sounds best with true country songs , especially slow ones, but those tht listen to him know him as fast upbeat songs, they have no clue

[dartnang]

OMG this was awesome! Love Keith so much! He can sing to me anytime! Love George too!

[KUiscaliente]

love it! thanks for uploading!

lol i've never seen keith perform in a suit.

love himmmmm

[alwayssme]

keith singing these songs were as close to martys original ever

[mray7188]

I loved Marty Robins even though I was small we he was big. Thought Keith did an excellent job giving Marty his tribute. Just proves he can sing anything. And yes, I to would love to hear him sing more true country songs. Some like the ones he covered that night were awesome. Great Job Keith!!!!!

[urbanbamafan]

Keith is amazing at whatever kind of music he decides to do! This was excellent, as always.

[53pixiedust]

I absolutly love this rendition!!What a fantastic job

[Rockfan178]

He should have done a George Strait song ! still KEITH URBAN IS AWESOME

[GatorGirlInTn]

Great Job by Keith. It's a shame he doesn't get a chance to sing REAL country, like these songs. Unfortunately, he has to sing the watered-down semi-country songs that Nashville is putting out these days. This proves without a doubt that he has great ability - playing guitar and SINGING!

[alwayssme]

i agree i dont llike his music, other than his first slow song , this is awesome ,he would be awesome putting out an "original country sound"

[genrose93]

gosh he gave me goose bumps! awesome!!

[toffeida007]

super keith du warst der best dir und deiner familie alles alles gute gabriele deuschland

[kriegs82]

keith is the bomb! i was at this show in vegas- awesome tribute to the king!

[swecountrygirl]

luv this guy great accent...great songs! go keith urban

[alwayssme]

this is the best of keith singing, awesome with songs from long ago

[dragknuckle]

Felina was a tramp!

[iarnault1]

George strait great singer well deserved artist of the decade award.he is one of the greatest singer.

[iarnault1]

Keith urban is the greatest of todays singersand wow he did so good singing the songs of my favorite singer of all times. marty Robbins the first to have received artist of the decade award in the past. keep his memory alive by playing his songs

[alwayssme]

keith can yodell!!!!! awesome that is true country

[alwayssme]

this is Keiths best ever...... those of us that grew up on old traditional country will agree, the new generation of country music fans have no idea what true real country sound was..... hope that keith hears us and puts out a traditional cd

[alwayssme]

i love keith singing the ole country, he does much better with it,,,,,, lovedit, would hope he puts out a cd with the old songs

[auntkat00]

What a awesome tribute to the "First" artist of the Decade, "Marty Robbins" by KLU!!!!! Just thinking of KLU sitting and listening to all of the "Country Artists Legends" of his daddy and mummy, must have been a awesome experience for a young one. My mother said he was awesome and she knows music.

KLU is my "EOTY". He is a "Must See" in concert. He Rocks!!!!!July 5, 2007 in Houston, Texas, first time i saw him in concert, changed my life. L, P, & H, always cathy

[altmyerdom]

Keith Urban is amazing, And i was there at that concert on july 5, 2007. and my hometown is Houston,Texas home of the biggest rodeo in the US the HOUSTON LIVESTYOCK SHOW AND RODEO.

p.s. what is "EOTY"

[chloecat22]

I'm not sure, but I think EOTY means entertainer of the year.

[AllJackedUp08]

OMFG!!!!! I love keith. . . . . .everything he does. But this is amazing. He really can do anything and everything. !!!!!! He truly is the Awesome Aussie!

[sharon30512]

He is amazing in more ways then one. I so admire and adore him and his talent which is HUGE.

[roseannintexas]

I too was lukewarm as far as Keith Urban goes, but I was floored! I didn't know he could do traditional country! He was excellent!!!

[girlegrl54]

this man can do absolutely anything and everything in music =D

[alwayssme]

agree lets hope he hears us and does an traditional /old country cd hes awesome at it

[alwayssme]

i also was floored, wish todays country listeners knew how great he was doing this music,,, i wish keith knew how awesome he was, i think thats his true sound, but with todays country music,,he probably feels thats not what they want to hear today,,, this is awesome

[girlegrl54]

every single song of Keiths is awesome!!! no matter what he plays, its fantastic!

[kate38988]

what is this song called

[a100roper]

starts with Singing The Blues, continues with El Paso, and finishes with A White Sports Coat (And A Pink Carnation).

[tvfan1982]

I love marty robbins! Wonderful artist

[kerwoman]

that was very good!!

I ove you Keith!!

[mtkufan4ever]

I unfortunely missed the airing, but hearing Keith's part of the show here is great. What an amazing artist ... he truly can sing anything put in front of him and beautifully sounding music comes out of his mouth. Great job Keith!!!

[mickerin64]

What a wonderful tribute. I always liked Keith but did't realize he was THIS good. I, too, missed the airing.

[gill128]

I also think Keith Urban was the best at this show. I was quite impressed to hear him do the Marty Robbins' stuff. If he would move into more traditional country and stop riding the country/pop rail, he'd really get his career going.

[Jtrip222]

Kieth Urban was amazing...excellent voice to cover such a talented legend Marty Robbins...great music

[cjl72492]

Keith was by far the best performer at this concert...I would kill for him to record these...

[georgestr8lvr]

I was not too much of a Keith fan, until that night.

To hear him do some traditional country was great!!

I agree, he should record something like this.

I'd buy it!!

Thanks for posting.

[incantation521]

i love what keith did here,but would love to have heard him do, "some memories just won't die". keith would've killed that song imo.

[reneebzyw5]

Thank you so much for sharing. Keith was great as usual. Can't wait to see him in Philly, Hershey, maybe Washington and def. NY at Madison Square Garden!

[nickwincher]

i wish keith did some george.... :(

[folsom37]

Keith is awesome, boy did he play that intro to "El Paso" good. Wish he would record some traditional country.

[CRAZY4KEITHURBAN]

If anyone ever says that Keith is not country...this proves it! That man is AMAZING!

[Pinniepin]

I'm a BIG BIG fan of Keith. This performance really shows how great an artist he is. I watched him too but didn't get a chance to record. Thanks for sharing. KU forever!!!

[curtain444]

i loved this performance! i also thought miranda and blake were cuter than cute :-) lol, love them together!

[SueAnnluvsKU]

Great performance and thanks for sharing. I really wanted to see this again. Keith was amazing!

[pashektu747]

I was so desperate to find his performance. Thought he was phenomenal. Thank you so much for sharing. Looks like you are another keith urban fan. nice to meet you.pashketu

[davidn87]

He should make music like this instead of what he has been doing.

[Mame925]

Keith has certainly proven himself to be a very versitile artist. I'd like to see him include more traditional material, but I do love his contemporary stuff too!

[calgal1005]

The handsome Mr. Urban should record El Paso. I loved him singing it!

[janieku63]

What a classy performance by Mr. Keith Urban for a legendary artist!!!! Thanks for sharing.... LOVED IT!!!!:)

[TNgrl4KU]

THANK YOU for posting this awesome footage!!

[cocone55]

Thank you for posting this! I LOVED Keith's performance. I grew up listening to Marty Robbins and Keith did an awesome job!

[NCGirl1972]

I cannot thank you enough for posting this. The holiday week threw my schedule off and I missed the first 40 minutes or so of this special...including Keith's performance. I was so disappointed but hopeful someone would come through on youtube.  =)

[girlegrl54]

your welcome =)

[Mame925]

Wonderful tribute to a treasured artist.

[kykufan]

The second Marty Robbins' song that he sings is called " The Streets of Larado"

[dlfcci]

No, actually it's El Paso, from 1959.

[swebright]

Thanks for posting!!!

[Vkay67]

LOVE this, Thanks!!

[50searthangel]

[jenADmom]

[rotc8276]

[countrygirly06]
