To answer and comment on a question stated above...

yes, Keith Urban is from Australia. When he talks you hear the accent but when he sings you don't.

It's the way it is.. all singers with accents don't have an accent when they sing..

My point is: He's not trying to be something he's not. He sings, plays, and writes his own songs.

He's not cocky and arrogant like the others. (Toby Keith and Kenny Chesney) I'm glad he won... he DESERVED it.
