Entertainer of the Year--Keith Urban

He most certainly deserves his awards! That was an absolutely amazing concert!

Sara and I were about 30 rows back on the floor, toward the center. Halfway through the concert, this thing drops down from the ceiling that looks like a swing. He swings across the arena right next to us! He said that he feels sorry for those who are in the back, so he wanted to give us our own show. :) So, he was about 5 feet from us! That's how I got the pictures below--so close! He sang about 4 songs to us, and rotated each song so that each side got to see his face. Yay!

It was incredible. His first encore was my favorite song of his, "Tonight I Wanna Cry," during which he plays piano. Throughout the concert he played guitar, drums, banjo and piano. So cool!

He also played a portion of the song "Beautiful Day" by U2, which made me really happy since I was unable to attend the U2 concert in October that I had so looked forward to.

All in all, it was a great night. Keith Urban is an incredible musician and performer!
