Jason Aldean is no stranger to collaborations with other artists. He's recorded with Kelly Clarkson, Colt Ford, Luke Bryan, Eric Church and even rapper Ludacris.
He dropped a few other names of artists he'd like to team up with…."I think there's a ton of people I'd like to work with, I mean Rhianna, Adele, Timberlake. I mean any of those guys. I'm a huge fan of all of them. All of them are really talented in their own way and what they do and what they bring to the table. I'd really like to work with any of them."
Brett Eldredge Is Open to Being a Contestant on "The Bachelorette"
You may remember earlier this year when People.com suggested "Five Reasons" why BRETT ELDREDGE should be the next "Bachelor". Well, Brett's been hearing about that ever since . . . and he has a few thoughts.
He says, quote, "It's a flattering thing that [they] came out and said that, but all this touring, man. I just don't have time to do it right now, but I've been a bachelor for a while, so I guess I'm at least kinda good at that part of it."
He was also asked if he'd consider being on "The Bachelorette" . . . and for some reason that appeals to him. He answered, quote, "That sounds fun."
Justin Moore Will Still Love His Songs 30 Years from Now
I used to think artists got bored playing the same hit songs night after night. They never show it, of course, because people are paying good money to see them. Well, that little theory continues to crumble.
First there was BRANTLEY GILBERT who said he never gets bored because each song is a personal story and he relives that moment every time he sings it.
And now JUSTIN MOORE says it doesn't happen for him because he picks songs that he'll never get tired of playing. Quote, "The best advice I ever got in this business was 'Don't record anything that you don't want to play for the next 20 or 30 years.'
"So I keep that in the back of my mind. And I'm proud of the songs we've made successful . . . I'm proud to be able to play any of them."
I suppose there's a chance Justin and Brantley have to say positive stuff about their music because it would be sabotage otherwise. Who'd want to see someone in concert if they knew the artist secretly hated some of their own songs?

COUNTRY MUSIC EXTRAS
KEITH URBAN released the video to "Raise 'Em Up", his song with ERIC CHURCH. Keith says the video's inspiration came from watching his daughters play. Quote, "We put the song on and were watching a film of our girls and they just went together beautifully. It captured the spirit of what's at the heart of this song."
