[@yewnguyen3942]

Dolly is so humble. She is awesome

[@rosettajones1161]

She may be just need to refer to Whitney by her name and not say "She" constantly.

Dolly version is so sweet and sad

[@vickimcburney8977]

I just love Dolly. She is so talented, beautiful, kind and humble. I love Whitney and miss her so much. She was so beautiful, so talented, her songs just bring immense joy! Her voice was overwhelming in a great way.

[@NothingMaster]

She is such an adorable, gorgeous, talented, and generous-hearted lady. ❤❤❤

[@phyllisdorre5312]

Dolly you made me cry with that 🥀 song but you're right. Whitney took it to another level... Love you miss her and I'm still crying 😭🥰 thank you both 💞

[@elijahadams4508]

I hear her sing in concert here in Little Rock and she gave me chills.

[@brettd530]

It's impossible to not like Dolly.

[@maizieedwards3151]

That is so true, and if someone doesn’t like Dolly, that just means they’re jealous of her.

[@georgejamestaylor7572]

Dolly is a truly humble artist! The truth is, Whitney knocked her version of "I will always love you!", Out of the park! It was & remains a true work of art. In that one song, Whitney showed the world what she was capable of, when she set her mind & heart on any given song. Her peformance on this particular song, was not only memorable, she captured an awesome peformance, which we as the public, was blessed to hear & enjoy for all time! Gb both Dolly, for her songwriting, & Whitney for her awesome voice!!!

[@rosettajones1161]

Totally agree you are spot on. 👌

[@bilbofaggin5]

Dolly, Whitney put her heart and soul in to it! But when you first sang it it was equally a thrill!

[@PatriciaCook-pw8zc]

Hi my dearest friends😊 Hiw waa your chur h churxh day gi busy I can bet😅😅

[@acedegenerate2254]

Dolly gave you the answer ok

[@rosettajones1161]

Dolly wrote the song and sang it but it would never be "equal" to Whitney's version because she sang it the best and with depth and emotions. Whitney took that song to a new level!

[@rosettajones1161]

​@@acedegenerate2254she wrote the song but unable to sing it like Whitney. That is why she said she had to pull off to the side of the road and listen to it. I also wish she would say Whitney's name and not refer to Whitney as "she." Call her name out.

[@acedegenerate2254]

@rosettajones1161 why are you stating the obvious to me? I already said dolly gave the answer.

Yes it was very beautiful in a different universe of it. I had tears in my eyes on both versions of the song. I love both ways it is sang!!

[@rosettajones1161]

Nothing beats the way Whitney sang that song Nothing or no one including Dolly who composed it. But she seem to be singing from her heart about a guy.

[@tammydudley3591]

Love her. My beloved grandmother funeral. I left the grave with family. I had to go say goodbye alone. I went back to grave. Had my car not far from grave. This song came on the radio. It was overwhelming. I knew it was her. 😢😢😢

[@doctorj6030]

A collaboration of two great women. Dolly's song writing & Whitney's beautiful voice. She is probably a lead in the choir in heaven.

[@taison5166]

With all due respect, Whitney [had] a very beautiful voice...[was] indeed a true songstress, as God Himself created. Yet, she is not a lead "in the choir in heaven" because she is not in heaven...she has gone back to the dust of the earth for now. That is, she's dead until the Day of Judgement. I'm only sharing the truth of the holy scriptures.

[@doctorj6030]

@taison5166 Well we are theologically miles apart, because I refer to death as passing on, the soul goes forth & that is according to my interpretation of the Bible & my church. So sing your praises to God, Whitney, but you also have a valid belief that I will look into. We both believe in God & that is the main thing & we both love Whitney.

[@delorescannon455]

Love Dolly Parton and most of her music Jolene one of my favorite. Whitney Houston just made one of Dollys song her own and none of that could never happen if it wasn't for Dolly Parton.....

[@VirgeinaThornton]

I wrote that song at a skaten rink when i was told by my big brother that i should just break up with my boy friend and go home. Theres lots of kinds of love in the world . Psalms is my favorite book in the bible. The 2 of hearts marks my place . And i will always love you . I will allways love you is my song . I wrote it. The summer of 1985.

[@lhr8833]

I was very little for Whitney’s version, around 7 yrs old and I completely remember what a boom it was. I’m from PR, so the radio is split between English and Spanish music, and still I remember it being in the radio all the time, in every station.

Whitney didn't do it any better, she just did it differently. Whitney's version was about how much power love can give you. The memories are gorgeous and will make you soar. Those memories of love can take you to heaven. Thank you for loving me that much... Dolly's version brings the pain. You love them so much but you can't stay. There's going to be heartache every day and nobody can replace them. You may love someone else, on down the road, but you will always know in your heart, that it's not the right one.

Dolly couldn't do it without the amazing and incredible voice of Whitney! Whitney should have bought what Dolly has since she blew that song off the charts.

[@annemarietaube6335]

Dollys respect & decency makes her more beautiful. Sadly Whitney didnt have the same respect. Whitney was one of my idles at the time, & I lost alot of admiration for her, hearing her brag on her singing the best version of that iconic song, was very disappointed. Ppl can be pretty, their attitude can add or take away from their outer appearance. I no longer saw Whitney as a beautiful powerhouse singer after that, just pretty lady singing. Dolly is a beautiful lady, her attitude & good soul makes her just that

[@rosettajones1161]

That may not be altogether true in every sense of the Word about Whitney. Even if she said those words she was right that she did sing it the best. God graced her with a great gift that she shared with the world and I am thankful. It is not ideal to parallel these two women because they both are and were talented in that Dolly wrote the song and had no idea that Whitney would take it to a much higher level. And it is totally what she did singing it with emotions and depth! It was not a sad song but a more serious and meaningful song that was the very best because of Whitney's version.

[@ladysmith3578]

Whitney did a great job but as always the 2nd is never as good as the original. You can out do Dolly.
