  • Love Dolly she always puts her heart in it :)

  • great cover by a great man from a great woman.

  • I am with bssist on this, I wanna know why you think it suck. You have the right to your opinion but posting a video with the description that it sucks makes people wanna know exactly what about it that sucks.

  • While i still think John Lennon's original version of this is the best Dolly still did a great version of it.

  • I find your comments very curious. You have the right to not like Dolly, or anyone you choose to dislike. "This video sucks" is a subjective commentary without substance. What is it that you dislike so much? You may have valid commentary and no one has the right to tell you that your opinions are wrong. Is it the the concept of the song? Is it a desire to sensor the idea being expressed based on a religious doctrine you wish to promote? Did Dolly fail to pay attention to you in grade school?

  • I love that negative comments given the nature of the song, hahaha.

  • @NotAMonkeyOrASponge Ihate YouTube

  • Hahaha, I love all the negative comments, given the nature of the song, hahahahahaha!

  • I've always loved Dolly's songs and her personality. But this was not enjoyable to me. At all. I haven't seen Dolly in a long time until this video. I found it hard to look at her with so much plastic/ cosmetic surgery. She used to be pretty.

  • I love this video, love the ENERGY that comes from the people in it!

  • Thumbs down! This song is a "humanistic hymn", since there really is a place of eternal torment called Hell. We all need a saving "born again" faith in Jesus Christ, to eternally enjoy the wonders of Heaven.

  • @MrCairokid How can you believe that a supposedly loving God would actually send you to a place of eternal torment? As the song says, try just 'imagining' a world of peace like Dolly is describing... Maybe you'll like it, and realize that no God who helps you and me through thick and thin would ever send you to hell. He forgives.

  • @sweetbhikkhuni The God that I serve through Jesus Christ, is not only a God of love, but a God of righteousness and holiness. He died on the cross for our sins, that by asking to be forgiven, and accepting Christ as our Saviour and Lord, we can experience abundant and eternal life with Him. He did all the work, declaring: "It is finished". All we have to do is to accept His finished work.

  • so dolly sucks? i wonder what that makes sados sitting uploading her then?

    get a lifeeeeeeee..

  • Comment removed

  • @dollypfan994 lifeeeeee? Try pronouncing that.

  • This version is wrong on so many levels. For starters, the whole thing is in the wrong key. Do it right or don't do it at all. Simply the worst piece of music that I've heard during the last year.

  • @SirKevinH Your cover would probably suck more.

  • @kvic2011 No, it wouldn't. I have a very good voice. I'm somewhat of a mimic. I can mimic Lennon very well.

    Look, I'm not trying to start a fight. Dolly has some nice atttributes. LOL But no, I'm not generally a fan of her music. Just not my taste but this cover is something else entirely. It is wretched. Easily the worst thing she has ever done. Sorry. I'm not alone in my opinion.

  • @SirKevinH You may say you're not trying to start a fight, but you're insulting a national icon. Dolly's singing has never been about textbook tone and pitch. Dolly sings straight from the heart. That's why she was ranked as one of the 100 greatest singers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine... a list you'll never reach.

  • .... :D You uplodaded it. I watched it, i like it. Why you upload something you dont like is Beyond me. If you were just gunna make fun of it, or something, why not just upload that itself? Instead of the actual thing. But, we should stop saying who sang it better, and well who ' sucked ' at it an just enjoy the message of the song itself :P

  • I'm a fan of Dolly Parton myself, but... yeah, this really isn't a very good cover. :| It is kinda bad. Okay, it's painfully bad and it's making me cringe. Think I'll go back to 'Jolene'...

  • "But I hate the way people talk about "Imagine" as though it has a deep inspirational meaning, when in fact it is total nonsense."

    lol, yeah, right.

  • My point is that lefties like Dolly love to sing about money like it is a bad thing, even though they are themselves filthy stinking rich.

    I admire Dolly for her tremendous work ethic, perseverance and talent. I even like her interpretation of this stupid song. But I hate the way people talk about "Imagine" as though it has a deep inspirational meaning, when in fact it is total nonsense.

  • but thats cause she remembers where she comes from and doesnt take things for granted..and i admire her for it,i know fame fortune and things associated with it would change me,,as much as i wouldnt want it to it still would

  • Had Dolly Parton followed the philosophy outlined in this song "living for today", she would never have gotten out of the hills of Tennessee.

  • I really like this version. Dolly is beautiful.

  • great video dolly looks great hate her she

    is growing young not older like me Lol

    She is lovely lady a what she done for her

    with Dollywood give people work is hats off Dolly

  • I love her. She´s the most beautiful person I´ve ever got to know - inside and out.

  • She's only commemorating a hero to civil rights.

  • dolly parton has made more number 1 hits than any other singer she is the best singer ever

  • How can anyone take a multimillionaire seriously when they say "imagine no possessions"? My understanding is that Dolly doesn't need to imagine it, she could just think back to her childhood. Having tried both not having and having possessions, she clearly prefers the latter.

  • So, if I understand this song correctly, Lennon is saying that the world would be better if everyone realized that our existence is meaningless and our values counterproductive.

    How about this:

    Imagine there's no Beatles (its easy if you try)

  • she aways makes me cry!

  • shit... she shouldn't have touched this one...

  • this is great! just went to her concert last night! so awsome!

    who is the singer that wrote this song and signed it?

  • @Mommysgrl4ev It was John Lennon who wrote this song.

  • Seen Dolly on Tues evening in Belfast, She was Brilliant! Can't wait to see her again

  • I think it's great y don't u guys shut up with ur bad comments! She is not trying to get more famous! If ur famous that is all u'll be! K! U people r being stupid!

  • yes she is

  • WHOO!! LOVE IT!!

  • LOve Dolly Seen her March 07 she was amazing! So going bk to see Dolly again this June. Love this song & the vid, Dolly really did a great job! Thx for sharing Captain Siberia

  • Dolly Parton Rules. This is one of her best video clips!

  • Your Crazy THIS VIDEO IS GREAT SHE DESERVES THE CREDIT!!!!!!!!!!

  • this video ROCKS. Gives me back some hope for humanity.

    Love Dolly For Life!!!!

  • Why would you upload a video that you think 'sucks'? The whole point of youtube is to share video with the intent to enjoy it, so what the hell's wrong with you? Go find somewhere else to peddle your negativity, cause this ain't the place......look around.....you're surrounded by Dolly fans! Geez.....

  • 1. Because my friends and I were going to heckle it, but they turned tail because they're too intimidated by the prospect of editing audio tracks together.

    2. Or maybe the whole point is to do what I want to do without you hassling me.

    3. Up yours.

  • DollyLoverForever does have a point, I don't know why you uploaded it either. If you don't like Dolly leave her alone for those who do.

  • DollyLoveForever does not have a point. I uploaded this video for its badness. I and some friends had a group who would do riff tracks on top of music videos, but they turned out to be reluctant to actually do the audio editing. If you don't like valid criticisms of Dolly Parton, go choke to death. Dolly's cover sucks, and so does her plastic surgery.

  • how can u say that she's a better person than tou could ever be. and i don't think her surgery sucks i thin she has it done 'cos it keeps her looking the same as she originally looked

  • i think ur full of shit....at least she has the decency to admit she gets them.

  • @CaptainSiberia woahhh!!! i get having the opinion of the song, personally i like it. If your not a dolly fan whatever, but you really cant expect no one to like it. To me it is very rude to comment on someones person choice of how they look, have your opinion, and mine is that she sounds and looks great

  • @CaptainSiberia i think you should really mind ur business. if you dont like that fact that Dolly can sing then get over yourself because she can do whatever she wants whether you like it or not. so dont hate Dolly because she has a great career and she works hard. and her plastic surgery is beautiful she wont change for just one person who thinks its not good. AND I LOVE DOLLY PARTON NO MATTER WHAT OTHER PEOPLE SAY! I LOVE THIS VERSION BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL!

  • @CaptainSiberia U mad, bro?

  • @CaptainSiberia Dolly is one of the greatest singers around! She's a 7 time Grammy winner! This version is terrific! EVERYTHING Dolly does is terrific!

  • @DollyLoverForever I hear what you say~ Sometimes the Truth hurts, some can be mad at this video for any & all reasons, however it comes from the heart- doesn't matter- who sings the story The world "Will" live as ONE, like it or not. They haven't figured that one out yet, or perhaps they have & are mad or confused, its easier to hurt or destroy what they don't know, then to trust. Huge Fan of Dolly, thanks for defending her, she doesn't need it, but GOOD for you for standing up!

  • The lyrics of this classic song's simply beautiful. Dolly Parton's cover did justice to John Lennon's original - you can feel really her rich emotions from her powerful vocals, especially during the last verse and ending-chorus.

    Thank you for posting this video clip. Cheers!

  • Be sure to pause it at 2:37/2:38.

    Best face ever.

  • hahaha nobody is as good as john lennon! but i do like some of dolly's stuff

  • now why in hell did you post this video if you hate it so much and you know what i think this is one of the most inspiring song and videos ok so im kinda offended

  • Its a diffcult song to sing but Dolly sings it well. Give her some credit!! I think John Lennon would be quite proud.

  • John Lennon is smiling in heaven.

  • Amen

  • Funny how her torso is shaped exactly to fit a guitar...

  • Wonderful song and Dolly gives it real heart and soul. Love the visuals too. To all those making negative comments: Don't make me post a "Leave Dolly Alone!" video *wink*

  • More like some saccharine and bouffant.

  • This video ends better than it begins. It is saved by Dolly's amazing voice. But note to Dolly: chill out on the plastic surgery. You really don't have to try to look 20 years old your whole life.

  • Yewah you'd rather they watch mindless violence so that we can finish killing each other off, like all losers whom watch those idotic video games.

  • Your mind tricks won't work on me, Darth Irrelevant.

  • Mind tricks?

    Rigghhtt....

  • I have to admit though, the video could've been a WHOLE lot better.

  • I understand that you believe she's only singing this song to contribute to her fame and which she is 'celebrating', in a way I agree. But this song actually does have a lot of meaning in it.

  • It's not the song that's the problem. It's Dolly. It's a crappy, syrupy, commercial arrangement. The vocals are pretty syrupy, too. The video exacerbates things mostly because Dolly looks like a skeleton. "Zoinks, Scoob! It's Dolly Parton!"

  • Fine, so the beat isn't to your liking. And yeah she has an incredibly skinny waist.

    And the approach of the video was pretty bad, but that's how most people think these days. Of course good parents wouldn't want their children to watch something that's not syrupy.

  • "Of course good parents wouldn't want their children to watch something that's not syrupy." Huh?

  • And waist shmaist! Her face is ghoulish!

  • Well, judging people by their appearance is rather bias.

  • Even if this is the face she has chosen to have? It looks to me like plastic surgery gone wrong, so it's actually her fault.

  • She accepted that 'fault.'

    You're avoiding the question.

  • How many parents do you know 'bend' the truth to their children?

    To that I'd say every single last one.

  • What does that have to do with this video? Was this video made for children?

  • Never said so. Because there are children who have parents that could care less what they watch.

    And if the video had violence in it, well, that would be rather bad.

  • I still don't know why you brought up the matter of children in the first place.

  • Right, I automatically like every crappy rendition of a peace song that comes out.

  • Oh, why would I post it? You'd know if you bothered to read.

  • You just said "This video Sucks" In a Way your Supporting it, It doesn't suck you just need a life and need to Live. One day this song will get to you.

  • Get a life? Get a life? The classic attack from people who disagree with what you said but can't form their own arguments.

  • Okay w/e the hel you just said, IDC! But what so wrong with this Song. Its Sung well and I like it! BAsicly Everyone LOVES Dolly. Why do you Dislike her so much? Hm? Shes nice and hasn't done anything bad.

  • Except suck.

  • Bull-crap! Your just a hater! She Doesn't Suck your just Jealous.

  • @paulasuporter Everybody is entitled to their opinion. You don't need to impose your preferences onto others. So, basically, relax. Just because most people like Dolly Parton doesn't mean there can't be people who don't. Listen to what she's saying before you go hating the haters.

  • Imagine!

  • i love this song and how dolly pay honor to john usual when a song is remade the singer doing the remakes it do not pay honor to the original singer

  • To the untrained eye, she appears to pay tribute. In reality, she's just celebrating herself, like so many singers today, and she's using a montage of widely-used John Lennon footage as a hollow gesture.

  • What is your problem? I've seen Dolly in interviews, and she is a genuine, down-to-earth person. In no way is she trying to "celebrate herself." If anything, this video is a celebration of John Lennon's legacy and peace and love. Why don't you go out and do some good in the world instead of putting down a video with that very message?

  • I can do both.

  • What exactly do you mean by "celebrating herself?"  I'm not quite sure if I understand what you mean, or if it even makes any sense. Just asking.

  • I don't presume to speak for the Captain, but I assume he/she means that Dolly used John Lennon's song as an opportunity to show off herself in an "Aren't I wonderful?" sort of way. Ironically, that's exactly what the Captain is doing by posting a video that sucks in his/her opinion for the sole purpose of making fun of it.

  • I think I'm being a lot more honest in this case.

  • Well if you dislike Dolly sooo much, why would you take the time out of your life to upload this AMAZING video? Sorry...just seems really weird :S

  • For my buddies and me. We're gonna make a version where we talk over the music and make smart comments.

  • If by "smart" comments, you mean crass, moronic, idiotic, then, yes, I agree.

  • If by "crass, moronic, idiotic" you mean "informed, accurate, insightful," then yes, I agree.

  • This video DOESN'T suck. Nothing can compare to John Lennon's original verson of "Imagine", but Dolly doesn't do a bad job with her version, and it's wonderful to see that old footage of John and Yoko.

  • If by "doesn't suck" you mean "does suck," then yes, I agree.

  • I meant what I said -- it DOESN'T suck -- and if you do think it sucks, why did you bother to post it?
