Since Lambert and Bentley were tasked with “celebrating the art of country music at its finest,” there was little hope that they would live up to such expectations (despite singing beneath a giant fake oak).

Bentley— a less charismatic country version of Coldplay’s Chris Martin‚—managed to accompany Lambert without making his presence known.
