First listen Pentatonix & Dolly Parton - Jolene Reaction

[@reneeg9406]

"Let's see what they do with this"🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣only win a Grammy 🏆

[@joebarnhart4460]

I think it's awesome how PTX "dialed it back" to highlight Dolly's part. They did a lot of the arrangement to feature her primarily, which shows how humble the group is. It worked so well that Dolly and PTX were awarded the Grammy award for best collaboration that year. That was the first Grammy Dolly Parton ever earned for her iconic and world-famous "Jolene" song.

[@tyghe_bright]

You taking time to appreciate Dolly's activism is why you've quickly become one of my two favorite reaction channels. (Along with The Charismatic Voice. Y'all are very different, but I love both of your perspectives and personalities.)

Came to the comments to say this ❤

[@katmbbaker7804]

This collaboration with Dolly gave Pentatonix their 3rd Grammy.

[@pamscarr8696]

I believe it was her first which is unfathomable to me. Last I heard, Avi still had his Grammy's in a box in storage. When asked if he would ever put them on display in his living room, he said probably not. Said he might eventually put them in a room no one sees but was not going to gloat or be pretentious about them.

[@loril2466]

@@pamscarr8696 Dolly Parton has won 14 Grammys and been nominated for WAY more than that.

[@gailseatonhumbert9199]

@@pamscarr8696 I don't think anybody thought they were going to get a Grammy for country duo performance. Nobody was there to accept and the host had to come back and say basically that they would be sent to all of them. As for Avi not displaying awards that is in character for him. Avi is Jewish. He actually follows those teachings more than most people do and as with alot of philosophy it can be hard to understand which means it makes him hard to understand as well. Anavah, humility, being a humble person, is a very important first principle so that he can ask questions when he does not understand without being either defensive or arrogant allowing him to learn. Humility, as a mindset , protects from errors in observation and moral judgment. If an individual is convinced of the depth of his or her own abilities and intelligence there is very little room for learning and growth. Humility allows for personal development. It is called anavah but it should not lead one to belittle oneself. Even in the quest for humility, there needs to be a balance with self-esteem and confidence. So he can be a fabulous and accomplished artist at the same time as he avoids arrogance, anger and the blindness that can lead to. It is a good thing he is so principled too because his voice can draw in and command others. Charismatic.

Dolly's voice is still crisp n prominent. She can sing with anyone while being a commanding presence! ❤️

[@markthoms385]

Dolly Parton is one of those genuinely good people. She has a foundation that sends out free children's books to kids from Birth to age 5 from her Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. All a parent needs to do is to send her a letter or sign up on her website. Last year she hit the milestone of giving away her 150 millionth Book!! Last year, Dolly Parton donated $1 million to Vanderbilt University Medical Center, which worked with the drug maker Moderna to develop one of the first coronavirus vaccines to be authorized in the United States. These are just some of the many charitable acts that she does.

Impossible not to Love Dolly!

Dolly has written over 3000 songs throughout her long career. She is brilliant as a singer, writer, director, actress, and comedian. Not like standup but she just has that "thing"! She is also a businesswoman and humanitarian. I call her a national treasure. You need to watch her cover of I Will Always Love You which is one of the many songs she wrote in just one evening.

[@MerryMac8]

[@suzanyoung6372]

This was done in one take! They did not practice with Dolly. PTX met with her right before they recorded and wanted just to highlight Dolly but she insisted that they take the last verse.

[@amandaw5317]

Yes we can absolutely sit here all day and appreciate the glory of Dolly! I'm not entirely sure the world deserves her tbh. You mentioned Miley Cyrus- she has the blessing of having Dolly as a godmother.

[@elizabethdemerie13]

Dolly is by far one of the top 10 women all around of all time !!!

[@mandelharvey3429]

Keep in mind dolly parton is like 80. Her voice is still strong. She took her health seriously. She didn't rockstar herself away. I saw 9 to 5 in the theatre as a small child. I'm 50. She was in her old and fat stage whenever she did that movie after decades as a country superstar. Somebody will have to knock her in the head on judgement day.

[@margretrosenberg420]

Dolly Parton was *71* when they made this video!

[@bethhamlet]

This is a definite "game recognize game" situation.

[@L0C0vision]

[@IratePuffin]

Agreed!!

[@carladewitt1947]

When Kirstie starts her solo in Pentatonix's cover of Amazing Grace, I always get a really strong Dolly Parton vibe. I can just envision Dolly singing that in some small Smokey Mountain church and bringing the entire congregation to their feet. Love this collaboration.

[@catherinemichel6673]

Thank you! I felt the same vibe from Kirstie! Not a bad vibe, mind you, just an "I can hear Dolly's influence" in Kirstie when she begins her solo.

[@G-grandma_Army]

Dolly is a great songwriter. Her fans are familiar with the hits she wrote that others have made their own. I love Dolly’s version of “I Will Always Love you” and Whitney’s version. Would love for some reactors to go down the Dolly rabbit hole (her singing and the songs she wrote)

[@Jskew]

Great reaction my friend. One thing PTX does better than anyone else, among other things, if they colab with someone they always compliment them and let them shine. Next, please do their "Sing Off" journey performances 1-12. Some jaw dropping live performances and gives you their superhero origin story. Or "Imagine". It is always a mind blown watch. Much love and keep on keepin on J.

Dolly is so gracious with her music. She always seems so happy when other people sing her songs. She seems more than willing to let others take the lead to her song.

[@G-grandma_Army]

Please listen to Dolly singing the songs she wrote like “I will always love you”, she sung this song in the movie, “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” ... (and of course Whitney sang it in the movie, “The Guard” (I think) ... “Coat of Many Colors” (I’m pretty sure there was a movie to that one. I can picture it and I’m pretty sure that was the name of the movie. “Little Sparrow!”, ... and “9 to 5” ... a movie by that name, too, that she starred in with Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlinson. So many more.

[@kegginstructure]

Among other things you could say about this "Jolene" video, it is almost like a passing of the torch from a prior generation of superior entertainment to a younger generation that has equal chops in the performance department. In the lead-in, you asked the rhetorical question, "Let's see what they can do with it." They can win a Grammy with it, for one thing.

[@Dexy83]

I listened to a podcast with Pentatonix where they discussed making this song/video. Dolly Parton, the soul she is, was open and receptive to their entire concept. She went with the flow, and this is the beautiful result.

[@siam5579]

I know this is a year later but I loved your reaction!! Dolly is an absolute treasure in every way. It’s so hard to believe she’s heading to in her 80s, if she’s not already there, and still sounds like a angel. PTX really was a beautiful addition to the song . I can definitely see how they won a Grammy for this.
