What happened to Kenny Rogers?

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?

    I think you all are very jealous! Kenny is still very good looking. So maybe he had a surgery done – how many people do this and no one says anything?

    Kenny does it and y’all make him sound like he looks like some alien. I think he looked awesome before and still does. He looks refreshed!

    Kenny you really didn’t need a surgery but I think you’re still hot. Ignore the media!

    My husband seems to think that it is a big conspiracy and that the “Kenny Rogers” we are seeing is in fact an impersonator. He believes the real Kenny is off somewhere tired of being famous and enjoying his money. I think his idea is totally ridiculous! Kenny hasn’t even been in the spotlight for years. Why would he need another guy to impersonate him? Is anyone else crazy enough to believe this theory? We have a bet, please help!

    It’s so sad that even with all of the money that a star like Kenny Rogers has that he had to end up with such an awful plastic surgeon. He’s mentioned that he is trying to have it fixed and I hope that he will be able to find someone to help him. His plastic surgeon should be shot! Wish we knew who it was!

    I was shocked to see the “new” Kenny Rogers!
    He looks nothing like himself. I can’t believe with all of his money, he was unable to find a good cosmetic surgeon. It’s so sad!

    I just can’t believe. Looking @ him in American Idol, He looked more like an alien from outer space! Gone are the days (I mean 80’s) when he lloked perfect! Gosh!!

    I have never been so DISAPPOINTED in all my life. Kenny WAS my favorite country singer for many years than I care to admit. I will NEVER EVER buy anything that anybody promotes of his. I NEVER thought that he would be so VAIN. I have friends and family that feel the same way.It was a nice journey with you Kenny, but the journey stops NOW!

    One more thing…there is a website “Men Who Look Like Kenny Rogers” which has pictures posted by people of men who look like Kenny. Well, now Kenny doesn’t even look like Kenny Rogers. How sad.

    I couldn’t believe it when I saw Kenny Rogers on American Idol. Looks nothing like the Kenny Rogers I know…it was a little scary, and I tried to figure out what had happened. Maybe he has been sick…but that wouldn’t account for his face and eyes being so different. If he did have plastic surgery, it is too bad it turned out that way. Having a nip and tuck here and there can do a person good, but it looks like he was going for changing his face completely. Or, the surgeon went a little overboard.

    I had the privilege of meeting KR on several occasions during his “1st” comeback…right after Lucille came out and then over a period of years while he helped our community build the Kenny Rodger Cerebral Palsey Center. What a shame that he opted for the “knife”. Oh well, that was his decision. I and many, many other people will always appreciate his music and incredible generosity.

    What the heck happened to Kenny Rogers face? He was so good looking, even with age. He really fouled up the naturally beautiful face that he was born with. Just could not leave well enough alone. He’s looking like a total freak!
