Kenny Rogers: All in for the Gambler

I wasn't sure what to expect, and if you're expecting Kenny and his voice from the 80s you may be a little disappointed. The other artists truly tried to stay true to Kenny's vision of the songs - and it resulted in a very commendable tribute.

It's hard watching your idols, and heroes, grow older - and Kenny's voice wasn't what it used to be. Still, at the end of the show Kenny and Dolly belted out some sound that makes you glad you know the songs.

This was all done in the present (2021) ... so it's hard to imagine this being any better than it was. If you are or were a Kenny Rogers fan, I think you'll enjoy this .. although, along with a smile, you may notice your eyes leaking at bit by the end.

Guest performers didn't know the lyrics...you mean artists from Kenny's peak award winning years were unable or unwilling to pay tribute? The audience sang the lyrics, why couldn't those earning the check had to rely on the lyrics box? Shame on them for not faking it better. Only Lionel and Dolly paid tribute.
