Dolly Parton - Jolene 19880110

[@SpaceGhost999]

What a class act, to write a song full of compliments to someone trying to steal her husband. The absolute queen of country music.

[@raysmetaltracks6782]

So well put - I fumbled with words trying to say this, but it never came out right - you said it perfectly. Thank you!

[@RochelletheRealtor]

I don’t think it’s full of compliments. I see it as one woman recognizing that’s she’s been beat. She’s recognizing that she is the “lesser” woman (because Jolene is so beautiful and desirable) and begging her to choose someone else. It would be like Halle Berry showing my man attention. In real life, I know my man would be loyal to me. But I’d still be nervous.

[@thebest-zw6qc]

@@RochelletheRealtor ye but that was still complementing her by calling her pretty. Whether it was intentional or not.

[@rebecafroes4787]

This song is ulterly touching. She chooses to open her heart and feelinga to the woman who wants to steal her man. With super class she makes Jolene realizes there is no purpose on stealing a man from someone Who really loves him just to win some stupid seduction game. This song is powerfull.

[@reptilus89]

Of course there are actually some bad singers out there, but there were bad singers 20, 30, 40 years ago too. For example, have you ever heard that one of the supposedly “terrible” singers, Ariana Grande sang an entire verse in the *whistle register*. This is something that VERY few people can do and I doubt Dolly could have done that.

[@yrldarb5625]

@@icevee686 obviously there were bad singers back then just like now but now more people are using auto tune, there are going to be people that can sing better than Dolly Parton AND Ariana grande. For you to compare them is idiotic yes Ariana can sing more higher notes but they have COMPLETELY different singing styles. Nobody has ever said Ariana has a bad voice. I’m glad this was dollys raw voice instead of autotune seeing her flaws is more realistic and nowadays people would autotune it up, that’s why there saying no good singers today because everybody autotunes. There incredible singers back then such as now but no need to compare.

"Your beauty is beyond compare With flaming locks of auburn hair With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green Your smile is like a breath of spring Your skin is soft like summer rain And I can not compete with you, Jolene" You can see the values of that time, those that would change some time in the future, in which they tell how beauty isn't everything but back then it was very much so and she envied Jolene for it. Dolly herself would challenge these values; she's such a gem

[@OLHA767]

I’m from Ukraine. Moved to USA 13 years ago. Someone asked me if like country music and I didn’t Know what it is. They put “ Jolene “ for me. Since than, I love everything Dolly Parton, and don’t care much for modern country music. Dolly is an icon! There is such a heartfelt and pure quality to her songs. No one is like her.

[@SidsCardShop]

Lisa Mona: I don't like modern "country" either. For you to gain context, I suggest you Google hpr.org. Select HPR1 to listen at really old country music, and then select HPR2 to listen to country music popular between the really old and sometime in the 1990s. The time periods are spelled out somewhere, but I have forgotten what they are. The artist names and song titles appear as the music plays, so you will know what you are hearing, even though there is no verbal commentary by DJs (although right now there is some appeal for operating funds, which they do only twice a year.) I am a Bluegrass fan, so I listen to HPR4. HPR3 plays Christmas music, and only during the Christmas season. I'm glad you are here instead of there. Oh, by the way, I think you should play my video at kzbin.info/www/bejne/q6HNZoZnep2kgNk Also, you can Google sidscardshop at any time to bring up a list of my 290 videos, and I think if you click on my camera icon above it will take you to my channel - not sure, since what I see and the rest of the world sees regarding my account is different. I just reached 101,000 subscribers, and would be grateful to have you as well. God bless you.

[@Lemonz1989]

I obviously don’t know her personally, but she just seems like a genuinely nice and caring person, which is difficult to do when you have been in the public eye for as long as she has. Like she’s fought to be who she is and genuinely wants others to be who they are as well. She doesn’t want her light to outshine other people, and I think that’s one of the many things that makes her so appealing.

[@SidsCardShop]

True. When Rhonda Vincent had a serious illness in 2005, Dolly travelled from Nashville to Rhonda's home in Greentop, Missouri to visit and encourage her. She's that kind of person. kzbin.info/www/bejne/g6CzlX6gZdCChdU
