Expect me there, I’ll be wearing a black shirt and dad jeans and hair gel. Can’t miss me.
@@Notubernosocial 😆
Just got my Miami tickets. We don’t play here in the tropical south. See you at Gramps.
If you stop off in Orlando I know two people who will most certainly be there...but Miami you say...hmmm..
Seattle?
Did not expect to be that blown away by Kristen Bell. Sounds like Dolly, yet, somehow, her own sound. They were both good, but she was amazing.
SHe is probably one of the best actress/singers out there right now. You should hear her sing Do you Wanna Build a Snowman
Barry Gibb was working on this one in the studio with Kenny Rogers soon after writing it. Barry wrote this song only for one vocalist. However, it wasn't working with just Kenny singing it. They looked at each other, shaking their heads in agreement. Then, nodding their heads in agreement, they both said out loud, "Dolly." It turned out by coincidence that Dolly was nearby, so they contacted her to come to the studio. After arranging their now-respective vocal parts, they recorded the song, and had a hit!😊
Barry Gibb LEGEND! Kenny Rogers LEGEND! Dolly LEGEND! This song couldn't miss!!
Coinsidentally, I just watch Dolly's intvw bout Kenny, Gibb and this song. So this is how it was 😊 thanks
Wow they r awesome! Loved it❤
It is a great song...
OK, AM I THE ONLY ONE THAT DIDNT KNOW KEN MARINO COULD SING?! LET ALONE LIKE THAT?! HOLY SHIT!!!
He’s awesome. I love his version of scene at an Italian restaurant
that is what I was gonna say
hes amazing!
@@UncomfortableShoestheir cover of that was so good.
I was like, “That singer looks like that actor I like, that’s funny.” And then BAM! No idea he was in a band. He sounds great, as does everyone else!
It´s the best rendition of "Islands in the stream" I have ever seen and listened to. 🙂
Yes
I agree!
Apart from Dolly's, clearly!!
yes!! ❤
That's a bit disrespectful to Kenny dolly,not saying this isn't a good rendition,but still a bit arrogant to make that statement 🙄
Shout out to the unsung hero’s who are mixing/producing these…….the soundscape is IMMACULATE!
I got out some NICE gear to listen to this one, and frankly, a great great job. I agree
Well, it's clearly lip synced or more likely dubbed.
You're an ignoramus for thinking that an apostrophe is used to pluralize words.
@@jasonenglisbe9646 And? What does that have to do with the mixing/production?
@@danolds1313 It makes it easier to mix if things are pre-recorded. It would be a more difficult task to find great mixing if it was all live.
The “ Ms Mars, Mr Van Lowe” makes my marshmallow heart happy! I’m so glad they acknowledged their Veronica Mars history. This is a great song. (Although Ghetto Superstar always gets mixed in)
You guys need to tourrrrr!!! come to Detroit!!
Yeah if the band actually featured her on tour...I could be all over that!
I love that although it's been ages, and we've likely seen the end of any chance for a continuation and she's gone on to be much more famous she still honors and holds onto that role.
@Logan_Baron I think especially with how the Veronica Mars movie got made, she is very aware and humble with how loyal us marshmallows are. And Veronica Mars is such an endearing character who was always out for justice, she and that cast are just A+ when it comes to honoring the show and these little nuggets.
Private Eyes should definitely be in the set list. 😍
Watching this made me rewatch Veronica Mars
Ken is constantly amazing me with his vocal chops and I know Kristen can really sing, but I didn’t expect this to be sooooo good. A very worthy version of the classic duet.
Well done Ms. Mars, Mr Van Lowe and everyone else!
I mean its Ken and a Disney Princess... expectations couldn't have been higher!
Kristen Bell's voice is amazing. Beautiful rendition! Great work, everyone.
She's Dolly-ing perfectly. What a great singer! These two have the complete opposite charisma of Kenny and Dolly, but its it's own beautiful thing!
@@macleoddan Maybe she's a Gibb sister from another generation.... 😄
Beautiful! Kristen's voice is breathtakingly sweet.
Disney Princess for a reason.
Ken Marino is killing it
Always
I had no idea he could sing!
He sounded great!!!
That was so beautiful. Coming from a former music recording studio, listening through improper TH-cam audio output, the balance that came from everyone following the script and nobody over shining the total performance made me proud to witness the organic professionalism.
What a nice thing to notice and say thank you!
I just cried when he said miss mars❤ feels like yesterday and a million years ago, all at once
How did I forget that Ken was in Veronica Mars? What an amazing performance.
I felt the same!
I just did a rewatch last week. Season 1-3, the movie, and season 4. Still mad Logan died.
@@carbyelizabethI refuse to accept that ending...we just hallucinated seeing that and now we must convince ourselves it never happened lol... Veronica + Logan 4ever❤
🥰 That Was Absolutely Beautiful ❣️❣️❣️🎵🎶
I keep coming back to watch this again and again.
As the world biggest Veronica Mars fan I have to say this is the most perfect duet EVER! I didn’t read the description when I clicked on it and I didn’t notice Kristen was the guest singer. To have them start that way got my attention and I was absolutely giddy from start to finish!
I feel it necessary to comment and help the TH-cam algorithm push this to more people.
Thank you for this Ms Bell
The hardest part of performing this song is making sure you stay at the same volume/intensity as your partner. You can really hear Ken pulling back at certain parts to make sure he doesn't cover her up. She does the same. They both did an awesome job with this.
You're so right. Same with Dolly and Kenny because could have blown him out of the water with her powerful voice.
Tender loving requires a dedication!
You know this is really Kenny and Dolly singing. They are lip syncing 😂😂😂
@@85tclower Don't be ridiculous. Go listen to the original. Kristin Bell sounds fantastic, but she doesn't have Dolly's southern accent or yodeling style and Ken doesn't have Kenny Rogers raspy edge.
@@85tclower Hahaha you can literally hear Anna from Frozen coming through at points
Kristen Bell!!! What a great surprise. That...was....awesome! You both sound great together.
Every video is an "reinstant classic."
THANK YOU TO EVERY PERSON IN THAT ROOM!!!!!
Wow, I have loved Kristen since Veronica Mars, but I did not know this side of her. Doing Dolly justice is one steep hill to climb, but she NAILED it. Fantastic stuff!
If you loved her that long how did you not know she could sing?
@@matthewharrison7153 Just this morning I had the very late realization that she had had major singing parts in Frozen. Singing is just not something that I typically associate with her; I rarely think about Frozen at all. But yeah, in retrospect that was really dumb.
I had no idea that Kristen Bell had an amazing voice until I found out she was singing in Frozen. Love this song, awesome job. ❤
Dang, I wasn’t expecting this level of talent. Two of my favorite Veronica Mars characters.
I’ve watched this atleast a dozen times since I stumbled across it a week ago. I had no idea that Kristen Bell had such an amazing voice! Love it!
That is Surprising for Sure, Kristen Bell Plays Grown up Anna in the Disney Film "Frozen" and Sings Anna's Songs
Love how refer to each other as their Veronica Mars characters as was immediate thought
But why did Logan have to die?😢
@@JinxD247BS terrible what they did 😊
Kristen Bell is so freakin' cool. Love the Canadian tuxedo she's rockin'!
Put a tie on that and she's dressed like Preston Manning.
Love the phrase “Canadian Tuxedo”, but that’s exactly what it is - never heard it before. lol
She could dress in rags and still look great.
That's not a jean jacket so it's not a canadian tuxedo
She’s a legit snack.
This is forking great.
I see what you did there. 😄
Bortles!
LMAO! I just wrote the same, scrolled down and see someone beat me to it a month ago. Good job. 🙂
Why can’t I say fork?
Holy shirtballs! You’re not joking!
The reunion we didn't know we needed! The MADJB continues to put a big ol dumbass grin on my face every time.
Your comment puts a dumbass grin on MY face!
What a way to keep these songs alive. Beautiful cover.
OMG! I never knew she could sing! She gives me goosebumps! I love her voice! 👏👏👏👏👏♥️♥️♥️
Man, she sounds just like Dolly in this video. IMO they absolutely nailed it!
My favorite song in first grade! I've always wondered whether my disco-hating mother knows it was by the Bee Gees. LOL I love that Kristen is doing just a bit of a Dolly Parton impression, but it's still 100% her own amazing voice.
I'm blown away by how perfectly balanced this duet is! The vocal chemistry is incredible, and that "Ms Mars, Mr Van Lowe" reference made my day. The whole band creates such a warm, nostalgic vibe. Pure musical joy! ❤
Is there anything this woman can’t do??? Everything that she does is perfect, she can act, she can sing, she’s beautiful, she’s funny she seems really nice and kind, I want to be best friends with her ❤
Well, she's short...so she can't be tall. But that's about it!
Not impressed with her taste in men... Shrug.
I was thinking the same that she is so talented. Loved the song. Glad to see so much talent in one garage. The behind the scene people are amazing too!
We should check those dancing skills! Jk she's my favorite
yes, she really looks like the kind of person one would want to be friends with 🥰
One thing I really appreciate about this is the way they articulate. Every word is super clear.
This is LITERALLY the song we were hoping you would duet with Kristen Bell. You are awesome and amazing.
They harmonize so good with each other! I knew she could sing good but I had no idea that he could too!
Literally the best cover version of that song I've ever heard. I knew Kristen Bell could sing. But Ken Marino... holy damn. He's awesome.
Dude could go on the road as a Kenny Rodgers tribute act.
Check out Paul Heaton and Jacqui Abbots version.
Man I love this song! And she’s such an amazing singer!! I was shocked when I found out it was her playing Anna on Frozen!! What a Voice!!
Ken Marino! What a great voice!
He plays obnoxious characters, but the more I see of him the more talent I see.
Amazing voice!!
What a voice she has!!? 😍
Gotta love a band with a horn section! Great job all around!
The singing comedic actor duet none of us could have ever possiby known we needed!!! WOW!!!!
best thing about MADJB? can never predict where they'll pivot...but always enjoy the journey. love y'all.
We like to keep you on your toes!
@@DavidWainTube {sensible chuckle}
Love seeing the talented backing singers really enjoying and soaking up this duo!
It’s so cool to see a large, massively talented group get so much pleasure from each other’s performances.
And, I had no idea that Kristen Bell was a Singer. WOW!
She's Anna from Frozen ffs
What did I just listen to? These people are great. The musicians, the singers, what a random stumble across. Looks like a bunch of friends hangin out having fun. Want to be there playin dominos and enjoying. Never heard of them. Love the harmony.
This is so good. Kristen was a great choice for the duet, she is awesome.
Goodness. These people are talented. This gives me a great lift every time I watch.
Why can’t music like this come out of one of my neighbor’s garages? This was awesome! Didn’t know Kristen was so talented.
Love Kristen Bell ❤🩷
Especially when she sings with her beautiful voices.🥰😍
We need this song for an album(cover version)😊
Omg! I love this so much ! The State plus Veronica Mars! This is the culmination of pop culture.
Be still my Gen X heart❤
I have to say it, I love the whole band. Vocals back up singers musicians. The whole thing.
She’s so awesome!! ❤️🎸
I have a very deep love for Veronica Mars. This made me cry happy tears, it's the best thing I've seen in a while ❤️❤️
Great Cover....I am more and more impressed with Kristen every time I see her, she just keeps getting better and a star.
She is just unreal! What a talent and beauty!!!
Honestly thank God for this video.
Came across this while listening to Jimmy Buffett! This is one of my favorite songs and y'all got it right! New Fan Here!
Kristen f'ing Bell. Making greatness look effortless once again.
I knew Kristen could sing but had no idea about this dude. Great cover!
ABSOLUTELY AWESOME, MADJB!! I think anybody who has followed Kristen Bell’s career knows how well she can sing but this is still top-notch; great job all-around!!🧑🏻🦱👩🏼🎼🎤🎸🎹🎸🥁🎺🎷🎺🎻
This reminds me of when i was a kid, my mum and dad ran a pub, one of the bar staff absolutely LOVED this song, every shift she worked this song got played at least once.
Masterful key change on the second verse. Love it!
I absolutely love it, I always love Cher
crushed it. bravo. Bell sounds remarkable. nailing dolly's timbre
Lol, that’s just her voice. Naturally bright and high.
I have to add this. The emotion she shows. Unbelievable.
I'm loving every second of this singing duo and the back up singers, the band, perfection!!! 🤩💫✨❤️🔥✨
Growing up in the 70's she was part of the soundtrack of my life. She was our rock and roll girlfriend. Who refused to be bound by any one style of music. She sang what she wanted, and we listened!
I saw her in concert with the Eagles, and Dan Fogelberg it was awesome!
I Had all her albums. Her music is iconic!
Thank you Linda!
Has anyone else noticed, but it seems like the background singers seem to be loving it!!!
Great version of this song. It always reminds me of my parents. They were big Dolly & Kenny fans. Makes me smile when I hear it
Man I forget home much of a multiple threat Kristen Bell is. Great actor, Great Comedian, and Amazing Voice!
One of my favorite songs Dolly Parton & Kenny Roger's sang I Love Kristen Bell and her movies it surprised me that she can she sing Beautifully Done Thank You Kristen Bell ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Just discovered this and absolutely love their voices together,
Kristen is a treasure. What a wonderful voice. This song… I would listen to any cover of it but this was really nice.
Nice. Who knew Vinnie Van Lowe could do that good a Kenny Rogers? And Miss Mars, a pleasure, as always. Say hi to Backup for me.
My dad would play this on the jukebox at our favorite restaurant for my mom. It was their song. Thank you for the memory.
Kristen! You sound so country! Fantastic.
I am obsessed on how good a job was done by ALL -- Kristen and Ken were outrageous as well as all of the band and singers!
WOW! Just when I thought I couldn’t love Kristen Bell anymore!!!they both are great!!
Love this singing Kristin Bell doing on this one it sounds Fabulous 😍🌟✨💫👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
That was fantastic! They did a phenomenal job singing, and the band is solid. I love Kristen Bell.
Omg!! I love him SO much!!! He was HILARIOUS and perfect in Burning Love. He sounded GREAT!!!
I love Kristen ,too!! This was amazing!!!!
Love seeing the great Beth Dover (from Orange is the new Black, also wife of Joe Lo Truglio) on backing vocals!
She is also in KB’s new show on Netflix, Nobody Wants This.
I thought that was her! ❤ I'm late to OITNB just made it to S7. Love this!
Exceptional cover with echoes of the original artists.
Ken Marino should have been nominated for an Oscar for DIGGERS. He was incredible in that. Great over too! Dolly and Kenny would be proud.
I have greatly enjoyed just about everything the group is done...but, I have to admit (and, I'm sure I'm not the only one thinking this) that this is the absolute BEST. It was so incredible, I, literally, had to watch it twice in a row.
EDIT: Actually, I had to watch a third time in a row. The voices are so close to Kenny's & Dolly's, yet just different enough that you know it's not Kenny & Dolly.
Such a beautiful performance. I'm blessed to have come across this
It with the originality that has thrilled
Dolly and KRog would be proud. Awesome!
They sounded great together! She is perpetually adorable... and now I know she can belt out some vocals too.
Kenny Rodgers is "smiling from above" and I honestly think Dolly Parton is too! Certainly an honorable tribute and cover!!!😊
But Dolly isn’t dead!
This was a natural. Pretty much the first time I saw a video from this outstanding group, I began wondering when Ms. Bell would drop by.
How did I not know that Kristen Bell can sing? Love this song and version. ❤
She also sings in the Frozen cartoon movie. Just fyi. ❤
I was unaware that my life needed this. Holy cow. I knew she had pipes....angel. But.....Ken......a favorite of mine in every role he shows up in.....did. not. know. the. talent! Love it.
Can actually hear a little Dolly in her voice. Very nice.
Amen Rev
It is Dolly 😂😂😂 they are lip syncing
@@85tclower It isn't Dolly.....but it is Kenny ; ) Ken Marino. They both have wicked voices, and don't need to fake anything. Bell could easily have had a long career on Broadway or touring.
Hit me right away.
@@85tclower Yeah, you don't have a good ear for music if you think that is Dolly.
Wow wow wow. You all are always great, but wow. Kristin Bell….beautifully sung. ❤ wow.
Finally a version of this song I like! This sounds GREAT!
I love this duet! Sounds as good as the original! What soulful voices! Beautiful! 💞💞💞
And I’m currently rewatching Veronica mars so this is perfectly timed!! ❤🎉
And also Ken CAN SING! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I was unaware of this but now I Stan this channel lol
I just finished my rewatch❤
I’m watching this video once a day as it brings me so much joy. Love to see how much they all enjoyed it and to see the interaction between Kristen and Ken. I miss the Veronica Mars days and this brought it back in a very fun heartfelt way. Thank you ❤
Good morning and excellent choice. Thank you!
