Watching Good Morning America, and Kenny Rogers is singing now. I realize he can’t be the Santa Clause-looking guy he was in the 80s (in fact, I winced when that picture came on earlier). But wow – he looks like he’s had a lot of work done, he has an odd fake-looking tan and a strange goatee and an alternative band hairdo. Sure, the sound is about the same, but wow. It doesn’t look like the same guy. What happened?

My sister and I have loved Kenny Rogers since we were kids.We couldn’t believe our eyes. Some poor doctor is now rich. Poor Kenny, all his aura and sex appeal is gone, he even had it at an older age. Too bad—–sooooooo SADDDDDDDD
Yep, Kenny’s definitely been ill-advised when it comes to plastic surgery. Does anyone agree with me that he looks like Burt Reynolds’ evil twin??
I saw him last night here in the UK on American Idol.
Good grief!! He looks like an alien. Told my husband that I defo would not have recognised the bloke in the street.
A bit sad really.
Grow old gracefully chaps!
I actually had a chance to sing on stage with him on his, Christmas show in December. He’s listed at being 6’1″ tall. I’m only 5’9 1/2″ tall and he was no taller than I am. He also walks like SpongeBob. I feel sorry for him.
How about the word Kenny Rogers sings in THE GAMBLER; “And his face lost all expression…”
I agree with everyone, what the heck happened??? I would not of recognized Kenny Rogers if it wasn’t for his voice. I don’t think the changes were for the good, as far as his voice goes, I detected a weakness as well. I hope it is nothing serious.
We just watched American Idol and saw Kenny Rogers and I wouldn’t even recognize him walking down the street as the Kenny Roger’s I knew from years past. What happened to his eyes?
Just saw him on American Idol and got online to see what happened. He looks awful!! Even his eyes seem to have gotten smaller – how is this possible?? I liked the “old” Kenny so much better. Maybe this is the result of becoming a dad so late in life??
I think he had some ill-advised cosmetic surgery. I was searching to find some reference to explain his apearence when I found this posting.
I saw him recently on an ice skating show and thought the same thing. However, his voice sounded very weak at that time.
