    No one could have pulled this off as perfectly as Alan Jackson has. What a tribute to George Jones. Jackson is the best - they don't make country singers like him any longer. I've seen his twice at our state fair, and he's the greatest performer ever. Love this guy.

      No they dont I dont like any of the new country these days!. I seen Alan at the ohio state fair years ago!, hes awsome!. The best show I ever went to was George Jones, Vern Gosden, and Conway Twitty!.

      @@steveashworth6707 I was lucky enough to see George Jones in person too, many years ago. For the first time in a public setting he sang the song "Choices" to this audience. We were silently both stunned and awed by this beautiful song, that pretty much told the story of George's "drinking" life. I'm so glad his last wife turned his life around, so we could have this talented singer many years longer.

      I couldn't imagine the immense heart ache you must feel. When i was a young i would visit my elderly neighbours almost daily. When Alan (I know, big coincidence) passed away, his wife, Alice would play this song very often and when i heard it, i would go over to keep her company. I would always switch the song for a more happy Alan Jackson song like It's "5 OClock Somewhere" or "Little Bitty" to cheer her up a bit. She passed away about a year later from what i can only imagine to be a broken heart. Still miss them both very much though it's been over 15 years since they both passed.

    The name is Mr. ALAN JACKSON!! This version of that wonderful song had me in tears all the way through it. I have mad respect for you Mr. Jackson for keeping your composure and singing this song perfectly as you did..I know you and George had a bond that was unbreakable and I remember how you went to bat for him with the song Choices on stage that time. You deserve to be the country music legend that you are sir and I promise you that heavens were just elated as you dang this song in it's truest fashion. God bless you for what you have done sir. You, much like George, represent true country music that just doesn't exist in these performers today!

    The same man that sung George Jones’ “Choices” when the jerks in charge of air time told Jones to cut the song short. Alan Jackson was top of the charts at the time so he was allowed to sing for as long as he wanted. He stopped his own song halfway through to sing Choices and left the stage immediately after. The guy has balls of steel and an incredible amount of reverence for George Jones. There couldn’t have been a better pick for this song

A skinny blonde kid that my sister thought was a good looking guy. Turned out to be Alan Jackson, before he was famous. We sat outside that area listening until he stopped playing songs. Wasn't until "Chatahoochie" that we mad the connection. What a man, what an example, what a career.
