Each to Dollys new cover. Of Purple rain

[@pughead2]

Pentatonix originally arranged the song to just backup Dolly but she insisted they have a bigger part. Classic Dolly.

[@bridgethaines7127]

Dolly's husband has never cheated on her. Her husband is her biggest supporter and has 1000% stayed out of both the limelight and her way for 55 years.

[@JustJenRx]

See description 😉 I was being comical!!!

[@patriciaferguson9204]

Scott and Mitch were interviewed about this colab. They said Dolly was an angel. She was on the set 30 minutes early, full glam and ready to work. She insisted they have a verse instead of just back-up.

[@df5199]

Dolly is a class act. Recommend Pentatonix’s Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy. A band without instruments won a Grammy for a song without words.

[@servantofmelian9966]

Dolly is indeed a class act. And this won Pentatonix their second Grammy. And Dolly won a Grammy for it the first time. I wonder if anybody else has won two Grammy's for the same song?

[@krisriewe3743]

You can't enjoy the song because you talk too much

[@kimmyf1054]

Pentatonix helped Dolly break a record with this one. Dolly became the first artist to ever land a top 20 hit on Billboard’s “Hot Country Songs” chart in each decade since 1969. Jolene got it's first Grammy after this collaboration and PTX got their third! Great reaction, thanks! 🙏🏾

[@Sweeney541]

They won a Grammy for this single - best country duo/group performance. They also did it live on The Voice with Dolly and Miley Cyrus.

[@alan-freeman]

Personally, I think this is the better version compared to the one with Miley.

[@Sweeney541]

@@alan-freeman I agree

[@daleb1279]

Dolly released this song in 1973. She wrote this song the same night she wrote I Will Always Love You, that Whitney would cover almost 20 years later. Jolene came from a little red haired girl Dolly met at a concert and she thought her name was pretty and she combined that with her husband teasing her about a bank teller flirting with him at the bank, and as Dolly said, I know we ain't got that much money to spending that much time down at the bank. Carl Dean didn't cheat on her, it was just teasing Dolly about a woman being a flirt with him.

[@JustJenRx]

Yep, I put it in my description!!! Such a great story!! Dolly had JOLENE putting all that money in her bank’s vault forever with this one!!!

[@frankiek2269]

Dale B. She fought that bank teller. She tells the story about it in her Dolly Show tour in 1988 right before she sings the song. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/gmHIloaliphora8

[@davidmartin7561]

I'm 46 years old I've heard of Dolly Parton and listen to her my whole life one of the things that people like to say about her is that she only made her way because of her chest and her behind. I disagree wholeheartedly this woman made her way because of the light inside her soul who she is deep down and she never betrayed it ever it's almost like she's got a bit of sunshine in her heart and she shares it with us it's amazing and I thank her for it and I always will

[@skathrynmarieaugustyniak2942]

Pentatonix when they collab with an artist they never out shine the artist, featuring means just that the artist is featured up front

[@janetburrows137]

PTX know, just how much too give too a song. They never try to outdo each other. They know just the right tone too get the song sung. That’s what I think makes them special. 😂❤😂❤❤❤

[@chrispavlich9656]

Enjoyed this Jen❣️. And yes they covered Bohemian Rhapsody and that would be a good one for you to react to please❣️💓🐈 🐾

[@dawnprice6914]

I have an 18 month old granddaughter who LOVES Jolene or as she calls it " JOWEEN ". She doesn't like this version only the original version, but we have to listen to it at least 5-10 times a night. There is a version of Jolene, but it's called " You can have him Jolene " it's by an act from America's Got Talent. Dolly's husband was approached by a woman who worked at their bank named Jolene. It's a real person.

[@bonnieflynn4798]

Dolly is perfection and so are PTX. I love it. If you haven’t seen the PTX Bohemian Rhapsody cover and tribute. Please please react to it. It’s epic !

[@heinleinreader]

And this was also the third Grammy for Pentatonix as well. Their first two were for Daft Punk Medley and Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies. If you want a shock, there is a group that, on AGT did an "update" to Jolene called You Can Have Him Jolene. Look up the song. I should mention that Dolly loved the song and said so publicly. The group is Chapel Hart. And Loretta Lynn also said it was great and welcomed them to try the same with one of her songs. You should check it out.

[@kennethvanwetering692]

One of my favorite Dolly Parton quotes...."It costs a lot of money to look this cheap!"

[@AnjeannetteMarie-Swifie4Ever]

Mine too! Whenever I get down on humanity, Dolly & Pentatonix lift me up ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@joeb4142]

Gotta say this is one of the best reaction videos I’ve seen. Thanks! 👍🏻🫶🏻✨💕

[@e2e4au]

You are special and I love your messages and when you get started - go girl !!

[@Anna-xx1lv]

47 million views AND a Grammy! Now that is something!

[@kegginstructure]

And it is not the PTX song with the most views. "Hallelujah" and "Daft Punk" have higher hit counts.

[@barbarafrederick5158]

They won a Grammy for this arraingement as well :-)

[@janetburrows137]

Very well said. They are the best of the best. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@janetburrows137]

I’ve seen Dolly Live, not that long since in Manchester and then down at the O2 stadium in London. Trust me she’s like PTX, better live. She was amazing. 😂😂😮😮❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@venus5019]

Dolly has composed over 5,000 songs throughout her career. The total number of individual song titles she has recorded and released is 956, totaling over 1,100 individual recordings when studio recordings, remixes, and live tracks are combined. She's so gifted she truly made up this song & many think it's real. She met a little girl so pretty with red hair & loved her name. She thought up the song to remember the girl & her name. The song "I Will Always Love You" is not a romantic breakup song. She sang & did duets with Porter Wagoner. She decided she wanted to go off on her own & do her individual career. This was the song she sang about that professional breakup. It wasn't a romantic one. In fact on her own TV show it was the end theme song of the show every episode. She absolutely didn't care that Whitney put a twist on the song she wrote. She still got a lot of royalties making $. Whitney exploded with that song & so did she having written it.

[@sheilad5321]

A thoroughly nice person with a group of thoroughly nice people, who all happen to be extremely talented and know how to respect each other and their audience. What more could you want?

[@robertbushee3892]

You can rest assured that I would never cheat on you, Jen! Dolly & Pentatonix, a great pairing!

[@iluvutube2011]

1st Grammy - Daft Punk 2nd Grammy - Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy 3rd Grammy - Jolene Mitch is thinner and doesn't have any hair due to him having to go through chemo for cancer. That I know of, he is cancer free to this day. Jolene is a story about a woman that worked at the bank named Jolene. She tried and tried to go after Dolly's husband any time Dolly went on the road.

[@timothyblack3322]

That is fantastic! I actually love this cover + Dolly.

[@toddlower5546]

Pentatonix & Dolly won the Best Country Duo/Group Performance Grammy for this song in 2017.

[@conniedean1977]

The song was written like she knew Jolene was prettier, and she’s asking her to let him go. In real life she has been happily married since before she became famous.

[@jeffreycormier3864]

Too funny...just coming across your channel for the first time and I laughed because I'm "Just Jeff" lol

[@JustJenRx]

Heeeeey!!! What’s up Just Jeff?!!! Nice to meet ya!!!

[@troylape3848]

This was a Grammy winner

[@rolandratz1]

Hi Jen - my favorite song with Dolly is the legendary song with Kenny Rogers "Island in the Stream". BTW - written by the no less legendary "BeeGees" - definitely give it a listen. If you know the three BeeGees brothers (Barry, the Twins Robin and Maurice) and have heard other of the many, many hits, you'll quickly find out who the songwriters were.

[@spIceemissdee]

I'm not gonna say that she was or wasn't cheated on but she said she came up with the song because when she was on the road her husband got sick and a red headed beautiful lady was taking care of him when she got home.

[@randyflynn6402]

God I wish I was able to meet you when i was 30 years younger. We think so much alike

[@jeffashley5512]

I'll go to Dollyword with you In Murfreesboro outside Nashville. You are amazing and wish I was thirty years younger.

[@janetburrows137]

I love Dolly and I also love Pentatonix. They can’t do anything wrong in my book. It’s strange how Acapella has become popular, all that comes down too Pentatonix. There wasn’t ANY Acapella groups till they came along and Killed it. ❤❤❤❤💕🤷‍♀️❤️🇬🇧🇬🇧

[@corvus1374]

Their third Grammy award.

[@paulralston4286]

Dolly said he didn't cheat, but Jolene was a teller at the bank he went to and she did have red hair...

[@lorriredmon7531]

What a thrill for them to be in her presence! Dolly is a gem and a truly wonderful human being and she recognizes great talent like herself. I think Kirsten's vibrato is similar to Dolly's. I can hear it especially in Amazing Grace.

[@janetburrows137]

Jen love. If you KZbin a called “It’s me Barry”. He plays the whole song. Then does a review. That way, you can apparently play the whole song. See if you can find him???❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@janetburrows137]

He didn’t do it. He was and is faithful too this day. But yes. She did try and take him away from her. But nothing ever happened. She’s still married too him. You’ll never see him on tv. 😂❤❤❤

[@mistymichelle9957]

It's a testament to who you are as a person (queen in my book) that you can't understand why people cheat. We're not supposed to understand it, because it's wrong & we know that with every fiber of our bodies. I salute you for your devotion to teaching life's lessons through your platform & being entertaining while you work. P.L.U.R.R. (Peace, Love, Unity, Respect, & Responsibility) from Texas!

[@RT-mn2pb]

Chill out Jen, she and her husband are just fine, always have been. This song was done for somebody she knew, someone else inspired it, "names changed" kind of thing. This is such a really special performance with Dolly joining younger group of singers to have both generations singing a fabulous song.

[@jimreedy1960]

Dolly was greeting the audience after a live show and asked a woman what her name was. She said "Jolene" and Dolly was struck by the unusual name. She said "I'm going to write a song about someone named Jolene." And she did. She was not cheated on my her husband. The song was not autobiographical.

[@shawnaseverinski3219]

Jolene was a little girl she met at a concert and Dolly told her I love your name. It should be a song. It's absolutely NOT one of Dollys life stories

[@chetstevens4583]

Won their third Grammy for this song. No Grammys since Avi left, hmmmm. btw you can write a song without actually living the lyrics. I have it on good authority that David Bowie did not in fact get lost in space under the name Major Tom.

[@marksterner7532]

PTX has had a number of Grammy-worthy creations since Avi left. Don't dare suggest that Matt is holding them back! "Can You Feel the Love Tonight", "Amazing Grace", "The Prayer", "Shallow", "Havana", "Blinding Lights", "Sound of Silence", "Mad World" - All are worthy of Grammy nomination, and Matt's presence in each performance is on point and strong!

[@chetstevens4583]

Wait. They're eligible with "The Prayer" this year.

[@chetstevens4583]

@@elizabethrobbins8580 Even if they win for The Prayer please show me any reactor that even mentions Matt on that song. All of them talk about Mitch and Scott, most talk about Kirsten and many even mention Kevin's work but no one says WOW that bass line! Now imagine any of those three wins without Avi's contribution.

[@blairkimberlin3447]

you need to look up dolly's explanation of this song, it's hysterical. she talks about getting into a fight with a woman flirting with her husband, the other woman snatched dolly's wig off and almost beat her to death with it. great story

Hey Love, hallelujah had 600 + million views. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@janetranslates]

See, I was just the opposite. I had no fear at all that Dolly would be overpowered or overshadowed by Pentatonix. Two reasons: 1) Nobody puts Dolly in a corner. She's the world's sweetest-natured hurricane. 2) PTX wouldn't do it even if they could. They're in total awe of her. SO, my worry was not that they would overpower HER, but rather that her power would reduce them to a mere backup band. But I should have known she wouldn't allow that. As others have commented previously, PTX was perfectly content--privileged, in fact--to just be on the same stage with her. But she insisted on switching roles for one verse--and even then, she was still very much present. This is how collaborations should always be.

[@tiffanytosh1569]

Dolly does NOT sell children’s books! She is the founder of an organization that gives free books to children. It’s called Imagination Library, and it’s a great organization! My sister’s kids got free books from this organization, when they were little…

[@jasonhutcherson6224]

It's fun been years ago when in JobCorps. Also met her as we were Leaving. She's so tiny and adorable and sweet. Also I don't get cheating or cheaters either. And I'd wish you would come to TN. If ya do and drive bring Kayaks. And anyone who cheated on you is Mentally challenged! And she's done it with Miley Cyrus as well. But I don't care for it as much as as this one. Another Badass Collab she did is with Reba McIntyreis them redoing Does He Love You. And the way story goes Her husband didn't cheat with Jolene. A banker who had a crush on her Husband.

[@davidaines9727]

This song isn't about Dolly's husband. Carl is a very private man who wants to stay out of the limelight. He has his own construction company and from what she says they both are very happy Dolly was born dirt poor and has never forgotten where she came from. When they had a major fire in the Smoky Mt. national park a few years ago and people who had lost their jobs and their shops she donated a ton of money to help them get back on their feet.

[@borntogame8595]

[@lesgray8709]

Awesome video, Dolly at her best, Pentatonix showing respect! Hey Jen, just chill, Dolly's husband has been a faithful supporter of his wife for many many years. The girl in the bank was about 6ft tall, with long legs, Dolly being rather short felt threatened... Ironically, back in 2018, Angelina Jordan sang this song, herself being 6ft tall and long legs, Jolene would have been no competition, but she still sang that song real well...

[@bjdefilippo447]

[@frankiek2269]

The reason why a lot of videos don’t get likes is because a lot of ppl aren’t signed into YT/Google. They’re surfing it in guest mode. It won’t allow someone to like a video without signing up or signing in. I’ve done it before while on Safari, pull up a video on the browser instead of the app and can’t like without signing in. So, unfortunately, that video doesn’t get a like because it will take me an extra 15-20 seconds to sign in. Terrible, I know.
