Miley Cyrus' voice was described by Keith Urban as bold and bizarre.

In a radio interview, Urban sang a brief version of Cyrus' popular song "Flowers" and was questioned about collaborating with the pop star.

The singer praised the 31-year-old's voice, comparing it to an "ashtray," but clarified that he meant it as a compliment.

Have you worked with Miley Cyrus before? Can you discuss her talent and accomplishments?

The man, 56 years old, responded, "I've always been fond of Miley. Her voice is truly remarkable."

On the latest episode of Nova 96.9's Fitzy and Wippa with Kate Ritchie in Sydney, Australia, he said, "She sounds like an ashtray. And I mean that as a compliment."

Following a burst of laughter from the radio presenters, Urban persisted in condemning non-legitimate country musicians.

He stated that he doesn't believe some "BS" pop artists come across as authentic in Nashville.

Urban remarked that the only change in country music is that pop acts are now coming to Nashville and attempting to collaborate with country artists, which has never happened before.

Despite being in Nashville, you still require the system's support. If you approach it correctly, like Post Malone did, you'll experience love.

Urban mentioned a few young artists who are challenging the norm in the country music industry when asked about it.

"They are genuine, storytelling individuals who are authentic. They are legitimate, as Australians appreciate authenticity," he emphasized.

"Luke Combs, Lainey Wilson, and Morgan Wallen are all legitimate artists. I believe many people are tired of the fake news surrounding various artists."

Nicole Kidman is married to Urban in 2006.

Urban and Kidnman, 57, are Australian. They met in 2005.

Tom Cruise and Kidman previously had a marriage where they adopted two children together.

Kidman and Urban share two daughters -- Sunday Rose and Faith Margaret.
