This version really catches the bitterness of the lyrics. I'm in love with it, and her voice, and the arrangements (flawless as expected from PMJ), and everything about this.

[@markmoody4159]

I played this video expecting to be disappointed, I am a long time fan of Dolly's version of this song, but instead I was moved to tears. This is by far the best version of this song I have ever heard.

[@z_skandana]

I have liked the song Jolene since I first heard it years and years ago, but no version has ever made me cry except for this one. The emotion is so strong in Maris' voice and it gets me every time. This is now my absolute favorite version of this song.

[@fantasyworld3167]

is this voice the voice of an angel??? so smooth so beautiful to the ears so powerful wow just wow

[@TheLeoGirl13]

I'd like to personally apologize to Maris for my being named Jolene

[@barbecueboy3219]

i've known this girl personally since 7th grade and now we're both juniors in high school (seniors after the summer) and this cover has just had me shook. i remember us singing high school musical in her car as loud as we could just a few summers ago and her singing one direction time and time again.. i'm so proud of her and care for her so much. she's going to be so famous some day and i'm blessed that i have had the opportunity to be one of her friends;

Dolly Parton should see this!

[@igormaxwel6093]

Another great revelation from PMJ: ladies and gentleman, the young and talented MARIS!!!

[@emikikuno]

What I like about this song is that the woman singing doesn't blame Jolene for being so beautiful or for seducing men. She's humble and asking for sympathy, instead of angry and jealous like you often see.

[@realhorrorshow8547]

I'd forgotten how subtle the lyrics were. But Dolly Parton is often under-estimated.

[@Songbird2473]

So much better than the Beyonce cover of this song which twisted the original words and intent of the song.

[@mattspain7985]

This woman sings with fire in her heart and it’s violent.

[@hopesim4534]

This added so much emotion to the song

[@MichaelBerthelsen]

Hope Sim Then you've probably never heard a live recording of the original. I highly recommend it.

[@hopesim4534]

I didn't say the original doesn't evoke emotion and I like it for different reasons but personally I prefer this tempo and the use of strings

[@bernhardkrickl3567]

I agree. It's a really great interpretation. Nevertheless, the original is perfect the way it is. I don't know any other song that is remotely like it.

[@MrSanktjakob]

Try the white stripes cover too! It's something special too

[@CelticBotansDigitalArt]

Anneke van Giersbergen and Danny Cavanagh's version is super awesome too! :3

[@elliotthughes2382]

That is one of the best vocal performances I've seen on a PMJ video for a very long time!!! Please use this lady more! She sang it with so much passion!

[@francescaclara8225]

This is amazing. Everything about this -Maris' powerful voice, the song, the strings! WOW! Another wonderful composition. Bravo, Mr. Bradlee and all; bravo!

[@cdhooverjr]

Wow, she's got the chops and the talent to kill on this song! Great music in every way.

[@toneloc72]

Every once in a while PMJ just absolutely nails the arrangement, nails the sound. This one is up there with the Black Hole Sun cover, which is the single best thing you have ever done in my opinion. F'in BRAVO! You really knocked it out of the park in every aspect.

[@adamgrzegorczyk1083]

So much control and restraint. It sounds like she has to tame her powerful voice and does so masterfully.

[@fennecfo]

SO emotional and incredible, You're such a golden star Maris, I'm glad Scott Bradlee found you!

[@hangassan]

I have heard this song performed as a bouncy country ballad, a slow country ballad (almost a dirge) but I have to say this is my favorite rendition...Maris, the singer in this version, gives such an emotionally charged performance, her pain is palpable...one can almost cut it with a knife...stuff like this is why PMJ is my favorite source for music...brava, brava...

[@olehoncho]

Greetings from the JJBA fandom. Beautiful cover, Scott killed it on the piano. Let those tears sink to the bottom of a stone ocean.

[@DollyStreep]

Redeye007 Collecting Movies Dolly sure would love this!

[@GreenJeep1998]

Jessie Louis I agree, I think she would love this cover too.

[@chipsterb4946]

Actually this arrangement reminds me of Mindy Smith’s version in terms of the passion and angst. Dolly sang harmonies at the end of that version after she heard a rough cut...

[@bexiah]

The vulnerability that I heard in her voice amazes me aaaaaaa best Jolene cover I've heard!

[@justabirdcat7114]

I loved Miley's version, and this is also amazing. IDK why but I got "House of the rising sun" vibes, before the other strings joined.

[@laureleaf6084]

better than the actual song. the original one is way more fast and happy but the lyrics have always needed a softer melody to them. this is perfect. sad, slow and emotional. Congratz to Maris!

[@ikilledaunicorn5903]

It may be better in your opinion, but no one can sing better this song better than Dolly

[@fnglert]

I disagree, the original wasn't happy, it was desperate, and in its simplicity lay its strength. It's about a plain Jane woman trying to appeal to a far more glamorous one, and the music and vocals brought that aspect out.

[@jamesdicarlo8317]

@@fnglert I agree, my impression as I listened to this cover was that the power of her performance overrode the desperation and vulnerability that Dolly Parton put in it. This is in no way a criticism of Maris' voice, she's a powerhouse!

[@gracecadet3244]

Everyone else has already established how wonderful Maris' voice and the actual sound of the song is, and I most definitely agree... But now that that's been said, can we all take a moment to appreciate how gorgeous that freaking HARP looks??? It's distractingly beautiful. ❤

[@paoguerrero616]

Who else got chills?

[@chipsterb4946]

Very cool arrangement. I love the simplicity of the harp at the beginning and the end. The quiet break where she strums a few chords on the acoustic guitar could have seemed contrived but work perfectly here. And what an interesting voice! Clean and articulate most of the time but she can punch with it and growl a bit too. Very nice!

The thing is, we don't know what her husband's tastes are. You have to assume there's something about Jolene that draws him. He might not be able to deal with her intensity. (Which is one of the things I love about this recording.)
