Hi everyone It’s me Barry 👋 Don’t worry I will be reacting to Dimash soon! Have you heard this song before? What is your favourite Dolly Parton song? Do you have a song or an act you would like me to react to? As always thanks a Billion for your wonderful support and if you’re new here please jump onboard the Barry Bus and subscribe. We’re a VERY friendly bunch 👍

[@susannariera]

hi Barry! yes I've heard this song many times, even when the lyrics....ugh! 9 to 5 is a funny song, and her I will always love you is just amazing, so sweet. A talented woman, indeed.

[@ItsmeBarry]

​@@susannariera I agree Susanna she is very talented. Thank you very much for watching and leaving me a friendly comment 👍

[@cynthiabruce-marzenska5024]

Mammories/memories! Ha! Although I like Dolly, I have never been a super fan and - like you - have a limited repertoire of songs including the three you mentioned and this one. Miley Cyrus - Dolly’s god daughter - has also done a version of Jolene. Very poignant lyrics.

[@ItsmeBarry]

@Cynthia Bruce-Marzenska, Sometimes I’m embarrassed with the nonsense that comes out of my mouth but I force myself to leave it in. I’m really looking forward to reacting to the Miley version of this. Thanks Cynthia 👍

This is one of my favorites, the other is Fancy! You got to listen that one if you like this one.

When they did it it was live and a "one take".

I think dolly sounded even better in that performance too

[@im2bz4stupidity]

Dolly's not just a brilliant singer and entertainer, but a fantastic songwriter, as well. In fact, she's one of the most prolific writers, ever, with thousands of songs in her books, and more number 1 and top 10 songs than I could even start to list. How you've managed to miss her more than five decades of smash hits, 'til now, dumbfounds me.

[@MrDalebenberger]

There are several magnificent things about Dolly Parton…lol. The most magnificent is her voice. I can imagine that is what an angel sounds like.

Dolly Has a lovely voice she wrote so many songs for other popular artists

[@flyingfig12]

I love Dolly! i wasn't surprised when i heard a few years ago, that she had written the awesome song _I will always love you_ she's so talented and her voice and sense of humor and outlook, what a lady! You reminded me of when this Italian singer who did annual talent shows here when i was barely 18 we will say.. had me sit next to him as he sang Occhi Blu and each time he sang that part the camera would zoom in lol got recognized by a few Italians in my neighborhood when they played it on some Italian TV show 🙄

[@deborahhalbert3372]

I just wanted to say you kill me (not literally of course) with these videos. So much fun in a world that seems increasingly dark and crazy. Thanks for lightening things up. By the way, “it’s me, Deborah!” 😂

[@ItsmeBarry]

Thank you so much Deborah. Your comment just made my day 👍

[@louisechen7968]

Dear Barry☘️. You’re cheeky today😂. Jolene is one of my favorite Dolly Parton songs. I’d seen her perform this song on TV, the visual of her expressions heightened the emotional impact of the song. Please find Miley Cyrus’s (Dolly’s goddaughter) version of this song, it has a rawness. Miley has grown so much as a singer, she might not have a wide vocal range but her treatment and delivery of songs are always surprisingly good. Thank you for this wonderful review of Jolene💕 love this ride on the Barry Bus.

[@ItsmeBarry]

Hi Louise, guilty as charged “I’m a cheeky boy” I love the idea of Miley singing this song I can’t wait to react to it. Could you imagine having Dolly as your Godmother, WOW! Thanks SO much Louise 👍

[@diedrapayne9099]

It's so fun to be a Barrybabe and I'm always glad when a new video pops up ! The harmony in this song is so pure and beautiful. Dolly is such a great story teller. Since you like Islands In The Stream (it's my favorite Dolly song) you might enjoy House of Love by Vince Gill and Amy Grant. Very fun review. You are looking well with that smile !!

[@LadybugSlayer]

My favorite song of hers is Coat of Many Colors. If you decide to react to it, definitely get the tissues ready. It’s a beautiful song, both sad and hopeful. Anyway, you should listen to it. :) As always, I loved your reaction!

[@angelgrl141]

Barry my babe... Did you know Dolly wrote & performed "I Will Always Love You" a song she closed every night at the ending of her TV variety show. It was a huge hit. Later. 20 years later... the beautiful Whitney Houston asked Dolly if she could use Dolly's song for a film she'd be staring in called "The Bodyguard" with World known actor Kevin Costner... Who happen to grow up near me through his first major TV film "The Untouchables" co-starring with Sean Connery, who has Acted in the movie "Indiana Jones an the Last Crusade" as Harrison Ford's dad.. Harrison Ford started his acting career in Country Western TV shows where he met Dolly Patton & who at the time was just starting her reign as Country Music's top star, and loved the Country Western singer Dolly. Doesn't it sound like (Six Degrees Of Separation)... Anyway, would you please react to Dolly's own song, and original version of "I Will Always Love You" then fast forward 30 years and listen to Whitney Houston's cover of the song that ended up with a Grammy for the movie " The Bodyguard" "I Will Always Love You" If you heard the backstory of this song Dolly wrote... I promise, it'll bring you to tears Dolly's amazing tender rendition. Then Whitney's beautiful perfection Rock Version. 💋🙏✨

[@weslove6018]

She wrote Jolene in 1974 along with I Will Always Love You, both on the same day!!! True story, they always had to go into their bank and Jolene worked in it and had her eyeballs on her husband Dean!! Since you know I Will Always Love you by Dolly and Whitney. Barry, please check out one of the famous KPOP stars, her name is "AILEE", her version of I Will Always Love You will blow your socks off!!!

[@Mx.RumpusParable]

Dolly is just delightful!! So pretty, so talented, and so sassy lol. This is one of, if not THE, my favorite songs by her... Off-topic, the kitty voice in the background gave me smile/laugh. Additional side-topic: appreciated the "being" in the list of "boys" and "babes". Being female but agender inclusion always makes me warm and fuzzy. Enjoying your reactions tonight!

[@ItsmeBarry]

Yes Bob (the ragdoll cat) was furious that I was reacting to anyone other than his favourite Dimash (I’ve yet to introduce him to PTX) You are too kind watching my videos especially this one seeing most of my viewers are skipping it.

In the business that’s known as a “one take wonder” I’ve experienced that myself, sometimes the magic is there in the very first take. Incredible to think she sang this in one go. Thank you for your kind words and don’t worry I’m too much of a Dear to leave Dimash 👍

Not sure if you know but Dolly was honored by The Library of Congress for her children's books that she writes and donates 100 millionth book, announces a partnership with The Library of Congress, She donates these books to the children who sign up for them. Just some info I saw recently, I knew you would love to hear about it haha. I love Dolly and your reaction to her that's why I am still hoping you will do an Angelina Jordan song. I hope you will react to "Summertime" or "Fly Me To The Moon" or 'A Million Years Ago" or Feeling Good". She has a huge fan base you won't be sorry. Also, she was just signed to Republic Records after the family turning everyone down for the last seven years even Disney so they must have gotten what they wanted.

Dolly being worth abut 600 million dollars is greatly loved in America. Like so many of us here, she is of Irish and Scot/Irish roots. Like Dolly, when our ancestors came here, we headed to the Appalachian Mountain range. We came from very poor families but became the backbone of this nation. She was raised in a one bedroom cabin with her parents and several siblings. Millions flock to her Dollywood Entertainment Park every year and enjoy the Great Smokey Mountains surrounding it. Good reaction.

Hi Mary I wasn’t aware that Dolly had Irish ancestors. I don’t think that’s very well know here in Ireland we should be very proud of that.

[@grumpybumme3289]

Barry I'm gob smacked that you haven't heard this before! It was released in 1974 so yes she was much younger. I love the eastern lilt in the song. I think aside from the Beatles etc she was one of the first. She says she owes a lot to the real Jolene as she has made her a ton of money. As an aside around the same time as Dolly wrote this she also wrote I will always love you. She said that she found the old original tape with both songs on it so they were written around the same time. As an aside Elvis wanted to record I will always love you but the Colonel wanted half the publishing rights and Dolly said no and as she says that turned out to be the right decision though I would have loved to hear Elvis' version. Take care and keep looking into the camera whilst your reacting I find it very ero**c. LOL :)

This was a favorite of mine growing up. My great grandparents arrived from Scotland in the mid 1700’s to the Cape Fear area in NC and settled in the Appalachians, not unlike Dolly’s family. She’s a perfect example of the best ideas of what the American Dream once represented. (Not so much anymore, sadly...) Anyway, thanks for the wonderful glimpse back to a better and simpler time.

Great, I like your emotional reactions. Please go on… and I won't let up. 😊 ... with a unique, mystical voice from a young artist: Diana Ankudinova. If Dimash is the universe, then Diana is the earth, our home. May be next: Diana here is 15 ys. 'Derniere Danse' (Last Dance) kzbin.info/www/bejne/hnSVgItsa719hNU The originally song sings by French singer Indila. It is about a young woman who scurries around Paris and misses her lover and dance with the rain and the wind.

It's been awhile since I listened to that song, but that particular clip almost sounds like it was sped up ever-so-slightly. I'll be going off to listen to another clip to see if my memory is shot or if I'm right. I'll let you know. :)

[@ItsmeBarry]

This is the clip from her official channel (linked in the description) so I take it it’s at the right speed. I’m so grateful to see so many familiar friends in the comments. Thank you SO much 👍

[@kwgrid]

Okay, I'm back. I listened to 3 clips of Dolly singing Jolene. Her 1975 performance on tv sounds very much like this one. Her later performances weren't quite as fast, but not by a whole lot. I love the one of her at Glastonbury. The security people were in a row on the ground in front of her and they were gettin' in on the show. lol Had to be thousands and thousands of people there. (As an aside, I'm not all that crazy about her plastic surgery which is obvious in that clip.)

@@ItsmeBarry That makes sense. Duhh, I shouldn't be so presumptuous. :\

[@tangerine4665]

Can you react to Lara Fabian, Caruso? It’s beautiful.

[@ItsmeBarry]

Yes I will be reacting to more acts and Lara is on the list. Thank you for the song suggestion and thank you for watching this Dolly Parton reaction. I really appreciate it 👍

[@barbaralowrance9005]

Miley Cyrus (Dolly's God daughter) has a video singing Jolene. Also, Jolene is a real person.

[@BillBeckham]

Hello Barry, Watch dolly sing this song with Pentatonix. They won a grammy for it.

[@ItsmeBarry]

Hi Bill, I have made a reaction to Pentatonix hopefully I will post it soon. Oh no, I’m not sure I could take Dolly and Pentatonix in one video it would be TOO AMAZING! I can’t wait to react to that performance. Thanks for the great suggestion. Please consider subscribing so we can enjoy it together 👍

[@user-jn6bi7mn4m]

Check out "Baby I'm Burnin'". Dolly's contribution to the Disco era. Get down Dolly!!

[@ItsmeBarry]

muchas gracias por las maravillosas sugerencias y por ver este video. Realmente lo agradezco 👍

[@colemanlayne1992]

You’re not doing a live reaction? Lmao

[@ItsmeBarry]

Now that I’ve heard the Audio I’m looking forward to reacting to her performing it live 👍

[@colemanlayne1992]

It's me Barry react to her doing it with Pentatonix. At least that’s a reaction to her doing it at the age she is now. You won’t be disappointed. :)

[@mochiwithjiminjam]

I love how fast you pick up on every detail in a song you hear..... If you have the liyrics, I bet you could sing a song after hearing once. Me... I have to hear a song MULTIBLE times before I can sing it WITH whoever I listen to. I´m just not very musical, thank god it doesn´t prevent me from listen to great music lol

[@ItsmeBarry]

Thank you Alice, I love to write music so maybe I have an ear for it. You clearly have great taste in music so that’s says a lot. Thanks a million for watching this and leaving me your friends comment 👍

[@mochiwithjiminjam]

@@ItsmeBarry oh you deffenatly have an ear for it! And as you wrote, I have a good taste, so still waiting to hear a song from you 😄♥️

[@user-sx1cb6hc1t]

Когда реакция на Димаша?, Барри

[@ItsmeBarry]

привет Мереке, в ближайшие дни будет еще одна реакция от Димаша. Большое спасибо за просмотр этого видео. не волнуйтесь, я всегда буду возвращаться к Димашу на видео, он потрясающий 👍

[@elbonfis]

Hola Barry...te dejo una dirección fabulosa donde podrás apreciar a Dolly y a Pentatonix juntos: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYqmoKyLrb5lfrs

Reacción de Dimash kuderbengen Titanic Jazmine Diva Dance por favor 🤗 gracias

[@susannariera]

mujer, almenos comenta el video de Dolly,😂 yo también espero las reacciones a Dimash, pero ...

[@SadieCo149]

Wierd especially since there are numerous videos of our lovely Dolly singing Jolene. Who would want to miss seeing Dolly. Dolly wrote I Will Always Love You, she wrote to her former partner, her mentor Porter Wagner when she decided to leave him to go solo. She is an accompolished acustic guitarist too. She wrote this. You and Dolly would get on famously, shed love you.

[@ItsmeBarry]

Your last sentence gave me chills. Could you imagine me and Dolly WOW! Now that I’ve heard it I can’t wait to see her perform it. I always find it amazing when a great singer is also a great songwriter. Such an incredible woman. Thank you so much for watching and commenting. I really appreciate it 👍

[@SadieCo149]

@@ItsmeBarry Also that is her playing the acoustic guitar. I love her guitar solos. BTW under her blonde wigs she wears a short pixy cuy and she is more adorable than words can describe. Jolene was released in 1974. Reporting from hurricane central in 🌴😎 Tampa Bay Florida this is Nancy out.

[@marthafacco851]

Desculpe, mas sou sincera. Não gostei da voz nem da música. DESCULPE!

[@ItsmeBarry]

é por isso que fazemos esses vídeos. essa é a sua reação. Espero que você possa curtir outras músicas comigo👍

@@ItsmeBarry CLARO! EU ADORO O MODO COMO VOCÊ COMENTA. AINDA ESTOU ESPERANDO VOCE CANTAR. VOCE PROMETEU E PROMESSA E DÍVIDA.
