10 Reasons Why Keith Urban Is Awesome

Keith Urban is one of Country Music's greatest guitar players. (He's also the cutest.) But he is way more than good looks and excellent guitar skills. He's got a great personality and is a very remarkable person. Here's why:

1. His music is more than just country.

Keith has always been good at pushing the envelope in country music. He's able to expand the genre and make it more modern and less like old "traditional" country music.

2. His music is relatable.

Sometimes, certain songs make us feel as if the singer/songwriter wrote them specifically for us and whatever we are going through at that moment in time. That's often how Keith's music makes you feel. Certain songs of his, like "Nobody Drinks Alone," "Better Life," or "You're My Better Half," are relatable because sometimes, when you feel down, you want to listen to sad songs, or when you feel good, you want to listen to something that makes you happy. Keith has songs that fit those two moods and other good feelings.

3. His concerts are fun.

Keith is great at his work, and his live performances are no exception.

He plays for 2-3 hours at his concerts and gives his all when performing live. After he reads their signs, he jokes with the audience and scopes the crowd to bring someone on stage. If it's a fan's birthday, Keith leads the audience in singing Happy Birthday to make that fan's birthday even more special.

4. He's so caring and giving.

Celebrities are commonly known for being nice to their fans but never on a personal level. (It's scarce when it does happen.) They love their fans but are prone to being annoyed/bothered by meeting fans when out in public or at concerts, not Keith. He wants to listen to fans tell their story and take photos with them (as long as his girls Sunday and Faith aren't with him).

5. He's so passionate about everything he does.

Keith is very passionate about everything he does, whether making music or performing live, and it shows. You can feel his energy at his concert, and it's fantastic. He loves doing it so much, and it makes him very happy.

6. He's not afraid to share his struggles.

Keith has had a few rough patches, just like everybody else.

He lived with an alcoholic father, and he mentioned before in interviews how he wished his family had been more intimate. His childhood home caught fire, and his family had to live in a tractor shed until they got another house.

Then, there were his three stints in rehab for drug and alcohol addiction. The first two times he was in rehab, he was able to kick his drug addiction, but he kept going back to alcohol after a final stint in rehab in 2006 (just a few months after marrying Nicole Kidman). He became sober for twelve years.

7. His relationship with Nicole Kidman is the best.

Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman have been together for 12 years. They love each other so much, and it really shows. They always support each other no matter what, and they absolutely love PDA, even though they went through hard times while Keith was in rehab in 2006.

It strengthened their relationship and made them realize how much they needed each other. Now, they have homes in multiple states, including Tennessee, New York, and California, although they mostly live in Nashville, Tennessee, with their two daughters, Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret (ages seven and ten), and two cats named Queen Snow and Ginger.

8. Keith is passionate about causes important to him.

Keith is a great guy who loves to help whatever cause is important to him, whether it's music education or making a calendar and donating to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. He helps people because he's been through what he's been through and understands what it's like to have nothing.

He's an awarded Humanitarian for his efforts.

9. He's very down to Earth.

Keith is a very down-to-earth guy. Most celebrities aren't down to earth; they only care about money and fame. Keith cares about more than just that. He has wanted to be a country singer since he was a little boy. It took him a long time to get where he is today, and he's enjoying every second of it. He loves his fans and supporters more than just the fame and money. He always thanks us fans for our support and is always there to make us feel important.

10. He's an inspiration for so many.

Keith Urban inspires many of his fans. He's been through so much, but he shows that you can come back stronger from hard times. His charity work inspires his fans to help others who are less fortunate. He also shows that if you work hard enough, your dreams will come true.
