Dolly Parton and Brandi Carlile, “I Will Always Love You”

[@OriginalBigThing]

I am so impressed by Brandi’s respect for our legends, never upstaging them.

[@sheryllezberg1]

Me too..she just loves music and the talent.

[@raemunroe]

Exactly. Anytime you hear Brandi doing a duet she is never trying to upstage or outperform the other person. I'm a die hard Dolly fan...and Brandi fan too. Love this performance

[@christinecurtin2389]

So so true!

[@carolmanning1333]

Does she only perform with women? She is a lez.

[@cavell52]

Actually I think she does upstage them, she is amazing, love her voice.

[@grege9019]

Dolly’s in her 70s and still one of the best female vocalists on the planet.

[@nursethescreens]

There is no song that Brandi cannot enhance. We are privileged to live in the time of Brandi Carlile.

[@sharonkeef0522]

Wow I couldn’t said it better she’s amazing

[@terylbrat42]

And even more so to overlap with both of these absolute world treasures.

[@auntissie]

AMEN! 💕🌷💕

Branding has a very unique and beautiful voice.

[@oopsiedaisy2156]

I just heard Dolly and Brandi sing together. I can go on living.

[@elizabethmchugh560]

This song is beautiful and how these sand would be make you cry amazing

[@elizabethmchugh560]

This song gave me goosebumps a pleasure to hear

[@BassPlyr23]

Brandi has a wonderful sense of “moment”. Look what she did to assist Joni Mitchell’s return to public performance.

[@sandracooke6957]

Oh my sweet Jesus. This needs to be released as a single ASAP! Brandi has a way of taking the road less traveled with her harmonies and little detours from the melody. Her choices are always flawless and she has added a new level of poignancy to this beautiful classic.

[@janiceward2169]

Well said..!!

[@kayeandrews1865]

It was a single years ago.

[@sandracooke6957]

@@kayeandrews1865 yes i know. It has new life.

[@seamus1956]

At least Brandi should put it as a track on her next album - or maybe the two of them should record an album together. It would be epic!

[@skippy9659]

You’ve nailed it..well said...it’s her detours that we love...

[@annduquaine526]

Two artists with the biggest hearts! What an honor it is to see this!

[@elisabettacantele6535]

The only thing that comes to my mind when I see Brandi Carlisle is that she's a beautiful soul.

[@mmjsstav]

OK, we all know Dolly Parton is a national treasure, and I can't love her enough. There's a case to be made that Brandi Carlile is the next generation's national treasure.

[@jak30341]

Why Dolly sounds FANTASTIC here! Brandi is a vocal Goddess. She sings with unmatched purity/clarity. Her clarity reminds me of Karen Carpenter and KD Lang. Beautiful resonance, power and large range.

[@roberttrail7013]

Yeah, nobody will match Karen Carpenter.

[@gonzaloarvietti4920]

And pink

[@havoth]

i miss KD Lang. "all You Can Eat" was a monster album, divine.

[@Straydogger]

She also has a touch of Bonnie Raitt. Fantastic voice.

[@gonzaloarvietti4920]

@@Straydogger oh my God im 23 yo And well thank you so much for that name or artist. Now im listening for the first time to Bonnie Raitt

[@akars912]

Brandi’s voice sounds like a cello ❤️

[@sunandsoul24]

From the start, you can see how emotional Brandi is and what this moment meant to her. Now someone pass her a bottle of wine!

[@sandracooke6957]

Yes she is beside herself one minute giddy with glee and the next fighting back tears trying to hold it together. What a beautiful duet.

[@jodiurlacher145]

Sandra Cooke ttwtwttyrtyiwrerytreqt

[@elainedodson8370]

She just seems like the nicest respectful woman in the world

[@troyhagen9843]

During the final chorus I love how Dolly is singing mostly to the audience but Brandi seems to have totally forgotten about the crowd and is singing the lyrics I will always love you directly to Dolly.

[@garymck5181]

Every Dolly video on KZbin has comments along the lines of 'Well, she's lip syncing, obviously,' Well, let me tell you, she's not lip syncing here, she's in her mid 70s, and she's F**KING AWESOME!

[@audreycampbell9483]

That was amazing, the little part where Brandi looks at Dolly and it looks like she's thinking OMG I'm singing with Dolly Parton...

[@amandanewkirk9128]

I’m sorry?

[@42218102742]

@countrygirl countrymusiclover just wondering since you're a country music fan, which artists do make things amazing in your opinion?

Positive sweetness. Does it get any better than this? I suspect Brandi will remember this for the rest of her life.

[@mapleva]

It's so good when young artists pay tribute to their heritage.

[@mommaof4boys700]

2 of the most humble people you will ever see on stage.. ❤❤

[@susanttt]

“Got anything to say...?” “Just that, I love you...” pretty much sums up everything! :-) (Humble love and respect, for an artist who’s a legend...it’s just a beautiful thing to behold)

[@donnadayle3762]

oh my gosh...i love dolly parton and these 2 singing together gives me chills. how beautiful!! music is the most important thing in life.

[@tonyburgess6649]

The respect she gives Dolly, giving her the dominate notes shows the amazing woman Brandi truly is

[@Saidakine]

I don’t think she gave Dolly the Dominant notes.

[@chuckrobinson1476]

Brandi sang harmony most of the song, with the exception of the second verse, but that’s what she was supposed to do. It’s dolly’s song so she sang the lead. People put too much emphasis on who sang the big note or which vocalist is better. This was a rehearsed collaboration and the did it perfectly imo! Brandi is in her prime and her vocals are as pure as the driven snow, but Dolly sounds AMAZING, her clarity, pitch, and volume for a woman in her late 70s is unbelievable!!

[@nathanlevi89]

When dolly pulled her in and held her you could just feel the emotion and my eyes WELLED up. It’s like when your mom or grandma knows you’re feeling emotional in the moment and she pulls you in for a hug and I felt that so much. 😭

[@nygrrl99]

Oh how the magically and beautifully compliment each other. I have never seen Brandi so excited to perform with another artist. Just gorgeous.

[@vjohnson2591]

If you haven't already you need to check out Brandi singing "Angel" with Emmylou Harris. Even though Emmy's voice is faltering with age you will swear that 2 angels dropped down from heaven to serenade you.

[@skippy9659]

That’s just a freakin epic rendition of that song by a legend..and a legend in the making. She.has.arrived. Buckle up.

[@MsVbrooks]

Why am I CRYING?! This is so beautiful that it caught me by surprise, I guess....

[@Willysmb44]

Wow, that's utterly amazing. Dolly has always worked on being a character, but it's easy to overlook her amazing vocal and writing talent. I would loved to have been there to hear this in person

[@markknopflerisnot]

OMG...just magnificent

Dolly Parton is without doubt one of Mother Earth's Illusive Angels. What a wonderful woman and human being, so generous, so kind, so supportive and definitely one of the sweetest humans walking the face of the earth. I would love to see her in concert though not a "country music" fan but do enjoy some of the music and would love to be a cowgirl.

This reminds me of my Mom and me if we could actually sing. My Mom dresses much like Dolly. And funny, I met Brandi in 2006 on an elevator when I was working for The Hollywood Reporter, she was going to Billboard to perform. Brandi gave me a CD. WOW I loved her music but never thought she would become a rockstar singing with Dolly. Awesome

[@vjohnson2591]

All of the comments before me pretty much wrapped up what I was going to say. This is the duet I've been waiting for and now I can die happy. And Brandi ... so humble in the presence of greatness. Just the way that future performers will be humbled in her presence. Love her SO much. Sorry to keep blabbering on but, has anyone noticed that Brandi seems to elevate the performance of anyone she sings with? Not that Dolly needs elevating, I would NEVER say that, but I hope you'all know what I mean. 😔 Please forgive me if someone has already said something similar.

[@richardjacques1731]

Any singer would be humbled if they were asked by Dolly to sing with her. You can see by the whole performance that Brandi was loving every moment, and when they finished she almost knelt in thanks. She knew she was in the presence of greatness. And she was humbled that Dolly respected her talent so much that she was allowed to share the stage. Dolly is not afraid to uplift anyone, she has the biggest heart.
