Kenny Rogers makes a guest appearance on FOX Business NetworkKenny Rogers on FOX Business News

Kenny Rogers spoke with FOX Business Network’s Charles Payne about the niche he has in the country music market and how he can’t compete with Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney, but they’re too young to do what he does.

Below are excerpts from the interview:

On what kind of artist he is:
“As far as musically goes, I think I’m boxed in to who I am and what I do best, and I try not to compete in areas that I don’t feel I can compete in. I think I’m an excellent story teller and I have always said if you give me a song that touches me I think I can make it touch you.”

On comparing himself to current popular country artists:
“As far as going out there and doing the heavy country rock, I can’t compete with Keith Urban and Kenny Chesney and those guys, so I don’t try. I mean, I do what I do best. Honestly, I think they’re too young to do what I do, so it’s a nice niche I have.”

Young performers are often inspired by today’s top country artists.

Sometimes the best compliment an artist can receive is from the children that love them. And with every new hit, there’s a fan out there who can’t get enough. Today’s country artists can be the biggest inspiration to children’s dreams and I personally believe that deserves to be praised. The beauty of the internet age is that fans no longer have to love their favorite artists in the privacy of their own home. They can broadcast that love out to the world and make millions of people smile, as well as possibly reaching the artist they idolized in the first place. Who knows? Maybe we’ll see some of these same kids ten years from now rockin country music radio. Here is my favorite video this week from young country music fan who obviously knows what she wants to do!
