ALAN JACKSON'S Lifetime Achievement Award REACTION | Why We All Love Him!!

[@chriscalfee9593]

Alan's health is declining due to a neurological disease. But he has made his mark already he can sit back now and enjoy

[@samf.6298]

Alan Jackson is all that country music should be. He's a legend! We need more like him!

[@firefighterchick]

These artists did a fantastic job singing his iconic songs! They did them justice! He deserves every honor they could give him. The CMA Awards is on April 2 on CBS. Sadly Alan has been struggling with a genetic neurological disorder that makes it difficult for him to move around the stage and keep his balance while standing. He stood proud that night, God Bless Him!

[@laurashelton5942]

You can see the audience they all know all the words. ❤️ Alan Jackson

[@markvaars37]

This made me tear up. Alan deserves this and so much more. Country music has gone to hell and I wish we hand more artist like him today

[@ginnynelson3738]

Alan Jackson and George Strait are my favorite.

[@kathygriffin3184]

❤❤❤❤ love all Alan Jackson songs the best country music ever were they country it Alan Jackson ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@aletmartins6940]

I ❤️❤️❤️❤️ Alan Jackson.

[@robinmentzer7974]

Alan most definitely deserved this award. He is one of my favorites. I was so sorry to hear of his neurological disease that he is battling. He will always be one of my favorites and all his wonderful songs, thanks for sharing.

[@calamityjayne4164]

You can't beat Alan! One of my favorites is "Precious Memories". So pretty! 💗

[@beverlyrivera7129]

Lainey Wilson did a killin’ job on that song! ✨💕🌺

[@donna865]

Love Alan Jackson - I saw him early in his career in concert opening for Randy Travis - remember him singing "Chasin' That Neon Rainbow" and "Don't Rock the Jukebox" and thinking he's going to be a headliner soon. That was more than 30 years ago and still love his music!

[@GingerLady57]

I’m so happy they gave this award while he could still be there to accept it. I could tell it took a lot of effort for him to sing and talk. Yet I’ve never heard him complain. And yes it’s actually a shock to him to be where he is, but most of us knew he was headed there.

[@massboy11]

The first country CD I owned was an Alan Jackson CD back in the early 90's. What incredible talent. Sad to see his condition these days, but he will always be one of my favorites.

[@trishharrison3618]

One of the greatest artists ever, love Alen Jackson all of his songs are great 🙂🙂

[@kathygriffin3184]

This made me tear up Alan Jackson deserves this & many more I wish we had more artist like him 2day love you Alan Jackson ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@shawnmazyn7090]

Alan is truly unique and his gospel songs are amazing as well.

[@rosebowers1897]

Sending prayers and love Alan Jackson deserve all the awards you get God bless all

[@brendaenglish2477]

Alan Jackson is a favorite. I was so happy to see him receive this award. I know his health is failing due to an incurable neurological disease which’s breaks my heart. His music and legacy will live on. One of the most humble stars ever.

[@thundermite1241]

I was quite suprised that the guy i listened to for all of these years that we both have a form of cmt mine being type 2 (unknown sub catogory) just made me realise im not as alone as i thought i was

[@marybaillie8907]

So wonderful to hear these artists representing some of Alan's most memorable songs. So sad to hear of his disease and it's debilitating effect on his prime of life. Thanks Craig for a sample of his excellence. Great reaction. Cheers from Canada.🇨🇦

[@louisetemples7011]

Hey Craig! Saw this when it was broadcast on TV. I cried then and I'm still crying watching it now! Good 'ol Georgia country boy right there! So humble! Thank you for reacting! Sending love from South Georgia, USA ♥️😀🍟

[@rk1039]

Absolutely adore Alan! So fortunate to have seen many times in concert. Saddened by his illness but so thankful for the huge catalog of music and memories to enjoy for years to come! ❤AJ

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

Alan is amazing & every song he has made is just perfect. I love all these great artists doing his songs & love that they used the video of Alan in his jeans & boots water skiing in Chattahoochee. And country stars support each other & are genuine friends. They do many duets together both on records & just for live performance fun. And the audiences sing along with everyone else's performances & it is a beautiful thing to see. They know the words to one another's work, which I love. They were more sedate this time because of it being a special night for Alan.

[@edithdavis2848]

They finally honored someone while they were here to accept it. He deserves every award there is. He is such a down to earth, person..Not many like him any more. Some of those voice breaks were from his illness too.

[@lauramittler]

I love that he has spent decades tapping and swinging that left foot, never the right, cracks me up.😂

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

Wonderful reaction! I adore his humility and the way you always show such respect for, not just the artists, but the art form as well. Thank you.

[@kerriewhitaker9444]

Alan is a genuine through and through. You can feel the love he puts in every song he writes and sings. You should check out his documentary, then you can truly appreciate the road he traveled to get were he is today. As always, thanks for the reaction!

[@TexasMagnolia]

Watched live…seeing the shape Alan’s in broke my heart.

[@annsteiger3531]

I had the pleasure of seeing him in concert. The best country performances I've ever experienced. ❤️

[@kellie6048]

There's an old family video of me singing Chasin' that neon rainbow when I was about 4. I had my little guitar my daddy gave me.

[@TheWynch]

Drive is a wonderful song, it reminds me of my husband so much, right down to the jeep and our daughters.

[@janicem9225]

I was waiting for your reaction when Alan actually got on stage to sing "Don't rock the jukebox", after you had wondered if he would, and your reaction was priceless. Lol One of my favorites he sings is actually an old gospel song..." I want to stroll over heaven with you" Watch the official video version. It has pictures of his family that have passed away now, and it was one of my Grandma and Papaw's favorite old gospel songs too, along with Sweet Beulah Land. If you ever get a chance to hear Alan sing it, be prepared to need tissues, especially with the old photos that are in the video.

[@SlyTyler97]

Ik my great grandmother was looking down very happy she loved Alan Jackson so much like she loved him she was a very special person I miss her always

[@janewestpoldskrvseth]

💞💞👏👏💞💞👏👏and thanks for your great reat reaction 💞💞

[@lisacaringello2138]

He also said he was so happy to finally hear the award show have more country picking and singing then he has in a long time. I am paraphrasing but that is the jist of what he said. And I agreed with him

[@roniboyd613]

Pretty dang special when fans AND peers sing along❤

[@lauramittler]

Alan did all the water-skiing himself inthe video. He's the only crazy CLOTHED water skiing person here in the south! We would never ruin a pair of cowboy boots with all that water!!!😂

[@donnamoskowitz4978]

Love your reaction! Love Alan Jackson! Love country music! Gotta go find some tissues now! Thanks for sharing! 🧡🤠🎶🎶 Love from Texas!!!

[@angelado3]

Love this !!

[@michaelsmith5021]

So sad he has an illness now. Great Talent!

[@jaclynsmith916]

Him and my dad could be twins. The blonde hair, mustache, cowboy hat, all of it. He's told us so many stories of being in stores or out on the road ( he was a truck driver) where people thought he was Alan Jackson. 😂

[@abiplaysx]

Hi Good Sir🌸 I’m a Californian, I’m new, just subscribed because I love your spirit and passion and emotional intelligence

[@jennlee7929]

In a way that is bitter, sweet because he has been forced to retire to two neurological health issues, but his music will live on

[@johndavidson5228]

One of my very favorites from Allen is "She's Got the Rhythm and I've Got the Blues". I've never heard anyone react to it on their channel.

[@patst1944]

I saw Alan early in his career when he opened for Randy Travis, love his music. A few suggestions for songs of his to react to. Thank you for doing this one Someday Here In The Real World Home I’d Love You All Over Again.

[@FriedShrimpPoBoy]

At the country music hall of fame and museum in Nashville Daddy Gene’s radio he won on a country show is on display. In Chasing That Neon Rainbow he sings his story

[@jwmson7791]

You hit the nail on the head Craig. Country music is just one big family. ♥️ That is the fans and many of the artists anyway. The industry in Nashville sometimes sucks. Loved this tribute and so many of the stars performing and nominated, but the politics of wokeness is unfortunately alive and well in Music City. Thank God it never changed Alan. God bless AJ! 🎶♥️

[@kristina63076]

You should check out the CMA tribute to Loretta Lynn. She was such a trailblazer

[@tennpsyc0316]

"She" - Jelly Roll. The official video as opposed to just the lyrics because the story is powerful-He writes a lot about addiction and the struggle. Pay attention, the video is recorded in reverse action.

[@sda6691]

He's one of my favorites. He also gave George strait his achievement award too. Two great singers and I love it when they sing together. ❤️ kzbin.info/www/bejne/mGLUdaCNoZeni7c

[@aletmartins6940]

That reminds me - Dirks Bentley’s What was I thinking? Is a great song and the video is excellent too.

[@jdodd2798]

That was GREAT!! I just LOVED your reaction and how much you enjoyed this! CMA is on April 2 this year.

[@JasonHalversonjaydog]

he ranks right up there with George Strait with the current all time bests, and in my top 10 of all country artists ever

[@TexasMagnolia]

Craig, The Loretta Lynn Tribute (Memorial) is so dang good. All the Artist performing Loretta’s music and telling stories. It would be a great reaction. And CMT Crossroads - Blending Country with Rock genres. The best ever is Keith Urban and John Meyer!

[@karenc1564]

you need to plan a vacation to Nashville. been there many times (Canada here) and its a great, fun city.

[@aletmartins6940]

Craig, pretty please - Don Williams has a velvet voice and a huge catalogue. Start with Don singing Imagine that with Keith Urban.

[@saraprice6576]

The CMA’s are on every year in November. It hasn’t been as good the last few years though. Brad and Carrie co-hosted it for 11 years and they were hilarious 😂, you should check out some of their monologues and song parodies, good stuff.

[@SBQDawn]

Date: April 2, 2023 at 7:00 PM CDT = CMA Awards 2023

[@michaelward9528]

I think I'm not sure but either fall time and spring there are awards shows on

[@bobbyecrockett1710]

Please check out Carrie’s version of “Remember When” from the Opry. Beautiful!

[@TexasMagnolia]

First singer is Dierks Bently….What Was I Thinking

[@chrislind57]

You can see he is not doing real well heath wise. He is suffering from a degenerative nerve desease.

[@shirleycameron7718]

Whats the cause of this illness ? Tq

[@chrislind57]

@@shirleycameron7718 disease is called Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease. It is a nuerological disorder.

[@Aurora-tp3dy]

​@@chrislind57 @shirleycameron7718 It's hereditary. I believe his father had it, too.
