18 Kids is Keith's compilation of his favorite songs. This guy is a master musician, a master entertainer, taking country music to a whole new level. He can take a trite little phrase "Everybody (Needs Somebody, Sometime), and in his own brilliant way, turn it into a #1 hit song. This is a great price for all the songs, and all the videos. You can't get any better than that, to have all that music in one place! The Special Edition packaging is great too. Thanks Keith, for making this available to us!

This album is a must have for all Keith Urban fans. For that matter, it is a must have for all fans of music in general! If you know someone who is just starting to listen to country or to Keith in particular, this would be a great option for you to get to turn them onto the music. While I have all the CDs already, I got this on the first day it was released. His cover of Romeo’s Tune is amazing. And I love the remake of Got It Right This Time. There is not a bad song on the album – of course a bad song has never come out of his mouth, so how could there be a bad song on the album…

Keith's new cd is a must have. It includes all of his no. 1 and top hits including a cover of Romeo's tune and The Celebration-which is Got it Right this Time with a full band. The special edition includes a DVD of many of his songs that are on the CD. Makes a great gift for any Keith Urban fan or to introduce new fans to the remarkable talent of the incredible Keith Urban! shirley aka sammyforkeith

18 Kids is a beautiful work of art 8 years in the making. The album kicks off with a casual cover of Steve Forbert's Romeo's Tune. This extremely catchy rhythm features a piano, one of the many instruments Urban can play. The second track is a remake of one of the songs off of his Love, Pain & The Whole Crazy Thing album, Got It Right This Time (The Celebration). This is my personal favorite on the entire album. He took this simple song and transformed it into just what the title indicates, a celebration. It starts out with just a keyboard, a drum machine, and vocals. Then electric guitar, percussion, and background vocals for harmony eventually join in. As each part comes in and adds to the song, it gradually builds up leading to a huge explosion of melody. The joy and happiness that this song is about is portrayed perfectly through the music, making it an instant hit and one of the best tracks on the album. The next 16 tracks are a nice mix of billboard chart toppers. The entire album touches on a wide range of emotions. Listen to mind blowing guitar solos as in Stupid Boy, the soothing sound of solo piano in Tonight I Wanna Cry, a Celtic sounding I Told You So, the love ballad Making Memories Of Us, country-rock themes such as Days Go By, Somebody Like You, and Better Life, progressive rolling upbeat numbers such as Where The Blacktop Ends and Who Wouldn't Wanna Be Me, and more! As if this wasn't reason enough to love this album, the album case itself is quite a treat. The insert booklet is full of colorful photos of Keith, including all the covers of his albums and a few from his adolescence while the back of the booklet includes a personal message from him. Instead of the usual jewel case, the CD comes in a paper board cover that folds open to reveal some amazing photos of the entertainer taken from his latest tour. The paper board is at least 30% recycled material to help preserve the environment! Overall, this album is superb! The lyrics of these songs are so simple yet they strike so deeply with many people. The passion that Keith Urban puts into his music really shows.

Why should you buy Keith’s Greatest Hits CD? Because it has some of the most fantastic songs around on there, that’s why! His new cover of Romeo’s Tune is, in my opinion, better than the original, and Got It Right This Time sounds great with a full-band recording. Who can resist popping this into their car or computer and singing along with hits like “Days Go By” or “Somebody Like You” or even new hits like “Stupid Boy” and “I Told You So”? I certainly can’t, and if you buy this for someone for the holidays, then you might just have a new convert on your hands to take to Keith’s concerts come this summer! P.S. Watching his videos all at once will make you one happy person

This is one of the best endeavours of an artist to have a greatest hit cd. And Keith is no exception, this is the best of the best of his music. All the way from his debut cd to present music, even some new stuff. It is like being at his concert from start to finish. All these songs mean something to him, and he would like you to have them mean something to you. This is a great collection for anyone new to Keith or never really listening to his music. Would make a great Christmas gift for any age

Keith's new CD is just fantastic! He's got extraordinary talent, and his new CD is definitely showing it! The new material is fantastic, I can't turn it or the CD in general off! It's all of his hits, plus his two new songs wrapped into one CD. What more can you ask for?! It's a great holiday gift and I promise whoever you buy it for will fall in love with Keith and his beautiful music.

This is absolutely a "must have" CD! Having Keith's hits in one place is convenient and such a joy to hear those songs back to back. I like the remix of "Got it Right This Time" -- it's a bit more upbeat than the original. Keith's music is on the mark for everyday life we each face. You get the feeling he actually has lived the life reflected in those lyrics. You can hear the sincerity and honesty in his voice. Most of his music has an uplifting message and when it's tied together with really cool rock guitar rifts is just astounding to hear.

If you've ever heard a note sung or played by Keith Urban, you know about the extraordinary talent he has, and this CD definitely showcases it. It has all of his hits on one CD, what more can you ask for?! He has a beautiful voice and an amazing talent, and this CD shows an this amazing man growing with his music over the years. This CD is DEFINITELY worth the money! Buy it for a grandson or neice or daughter or son for Christmas, and I guarantee they will fall in love with this CD and this amazing, talented man. Even buy one for yourself! You'll fall in love with it as soon as you turn it on.

This CD appeals to all music fans - those who love country music and those who want to experience a talented singer/songwriter/musician. Keith perfectly blends the "feel good" aspects of country music (words you can understand and relate to) with fabulous rhythms (including some amazing guitar work) to create this greatest hits CD. Owners of other Keith Urban CDs will want to own this to have the “best of the best” in one place; new fans will want to own this to have a great sampling of Keith’s work. These amazing songs include all his number one hits – as well as two new tracks. Aptly titled “18 Kids,” it’s easy to see why these 18 tracks were selected by Keith – and it will be easy for listeners to see why these are the songs that have propelled Keith to stardom and to winning many awards, including ‘Male Vocalist of the Year’ and ‘Entertainer of the Year.’

This CD and the DVD ...18 kids...greatest hits is even better than great. You will not be disappointed in the true talent that is shown, KU is a guitarist like no other and his vocals just melt your heart. Each song on this new album reflects the wonderful work on his CD's that came before it. Romeo's Tune will get in your head and pleasantly stay there! They are all super and I love them all. 18 kids is worth every penny you pay and everyone on your Christmas list will be thrilled with it! A true must buy. B.Britton

This is one amazing CD!!! there are 18 songs, all of Keith's hit singles! Some of these are radio-edited, so they are a little bit different!! There also are 2 new songs, which are just great! There is the Cover Song of Romeos Tune, which in my opinion is even better then the origional, and there is a new version of the song called Got it Right This Time, which is on Keith's current selling album, Love, Pain and the Whole Crazy Thing. This is a re-make of that song, it's called Got it Right Tihs Time(The Celebration). It uses more instruments and is a very beautiful song!!! This album is more than just a Greatest Hits album, its has fun songs, happy songs, heart-touching songs, and more! It's really the best you could ask for and I HIGHLY reccomend everyone going out and getting your copy of 18 Kids, today!!!!!!

This CD/DVD compilation is the one I’ve been waiting for! “18 kids” is phenomenal. Keith is such an amazing performer & this CD delivers nothing more the MAGIC. I would not categorize Keith as just a country artist. He is so much more. He takes you through the ups & downs of life like no other artist recording today. You can’t resist the infectious rhythms of “Days Go By” or “Who Wouldn’t Want To Be Me” along with “Where the Black Top Ends”. Or you can’t help but be moved by the haunting emotions of “Stupid Boy”, “Everybody” & “You’ll Think of Me”. Let’s not forget Keith’s astounding collection of songs dedicated to love, “Better Life”, You’re My Better Half”, “Once in a Lifetime” & his stunningly beautiful “Your Everything”. The 12 videos included in the package certainly make this a winning combination & a great gift for anyone who is on a quest for amazing music from any genre.

Keith Urban is the only artist (in any genre) whose albums I enjoy from beginning to end. Every track is great! This album is the best of the best. I was glad to get the radio remixes since they aren't on the other albums. Keith is a great song writer, singer and awesome guitarist. He's just the best. The videos are a great bonus too!

If you love music and/or Keith Urban you should get this CD !!! The new material is just fantastic. I really love Keith's version of "Romeo's Tune", just phenomenal! They also picked a great diverse bunch of Keith's hits to be on the CD. There might be one or two you haven't heard. Don't forget to look for the special edition (with DVD material) that is for sale too! It's really worth it!
