  • i like this way and im the one who likes hard metal

  • omg wat a stunningly beautiful voice!! i loved the original bt i cannt believe how much better this is, wat a pretty girl <3 __ <3

  • If he wants Jolene than your love has died. He ain't the only one for you, don't worryyyyy! Lol!

  • Trust me, I love Dolly as much as the next Dolly fan. But this is actually one of the better covers I have heard of Jolene. I think we're all still a little cut over people still thinking I Will Always Love You is Whitneys creation, thus we refuse to embrace any more Dolly covers. :P

  • Not enough passion. I agree with the other posters here. It's not bad, but it's not good either. It's just ...meh.

  • what i dont get about this song is if your "man" is so easy to run off with another woman...why do you want him? wouldn't you rather have someone who would never ever leave you for anyone no matter how beautiful???

  • Dude may b a jerk but he's fine!

  • that man is a reall jerk to go off and cheat on the other girl

  • when i frist saw this video my friend said i had a tear in my eye. but this is a sad song anyway. lol i LOVE THIS SONG!!!!!!!!!!

  • Damn what the hell is that guy's problem. Mindy looks way better than Jolene

  • Her plea might be more compelling if she brought a gun with her instead of a lantern.

  • I love this song both doll and mindy sing it so good i was a lil suprised at the end tho did she stay with him and good thing this is only a song and not rl becase if it was they be cat fightin lol

  • i agree i like dolly's better midy's just has no passion in it it's dull

  • I love how she sings but Dolly sings it with passion

  • Personally, I love how Mindy sings this song. Dolly's version sounds like she's rearing for a fight while this one has more of a chill to it. In my opinion anyway.

  • face it NOBODY does this like Dolly, but this is pretty darn good!!!

  • mindy took this song and changed it from country to blues. love this song. this reflects the mood of everybody whos had their heart broken. whos been lied to, cheated on, etc.

  • Dolly's version is far better, but I kept wondering what Jolene looked like. =) haha

  • kind of a sexy irish country version!!!!!!!!!!!!! approved!

  • i love this song i am going to sing it at the karoke night for sure it such a sad song in real life happens very good combension there are both good singers

  • Is it sad that I like this song as a guy... :p

  • I think Jolene needs a Gemma Teller-Morrow lesson lol

  • @CrystaTrees OMG when SOA started and I was first introduced to Gemma I thought about this song and how she needed to kick Jolenes ass lol!

  • Love this song Mindy Smith sang it beautifully but you can never beat the original version I think of this as an acoustic version of Dolly Parton's Jolene you can't really compare them

  • 22 people know nothing about music.

  • Jolene is so unattractive. and the lead singer is way prettier

  • Mindy look better than jolene ...

  • Her and dolly did an amazing job

  • pretty cool take on a great tune. i like the atmospheric space they created in it...a little bit of a creepy vibe...nice

  • both women could do better !

    he aint all that !

  • Because of The Voice i'm obsessed with this song!

  • I like Dolly's more but for some reason this one gave me shivers....

  • This version is so haunting.... I love both versions!

  • @faunusfl i have to agree this ome is alot more haunting! And hypnotizing

  • you can feel the pain in this song, but I do love me some Dolly!

  • This version is alot better than Dolly's!

  • Dolly Parton is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She looks amazing in this vid too!!!

  • it's even cooler that this song is based on Dolly's real experience with another woman..

  • Love this song so much

  • The song is a dirge. It's supposed to be sad and evoke a bit of beautiful empathy.

  • I would be better if she sang "Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene" like Dolly Parton did.

  • @MyQuestForFame absolutely! i think so too

  • Quran:

    (Surah-3-the women-vs-116)

    surely allah does not forgive that anything should associated with him, and he forgives what is besides this to whom he pleases; and whoever associates anything with allah, he indeed strays off into a remote error.

    117- They do not call besides him on anything but idols, and they do not call on anything but a rebellious shaitan (Satan).

  • 118- Allah has cursed him; and he said: most certainly I will take of thy servants an appointed portion:

    119- And most certainly I will lead them astray and excite in them vain desires, and bid them so that they shall slit the ears of the cattle, and most certainly I will bid them so that they shall alter Allah’s creation; and whoever takes the shaitan for a guardian rather than Allah he indeed shall suffer a manifest loss.

  • 120- He gives them promises and excites vain desires in them; and the shaitan does not promise them but to deceive.

    121- These are they whose abode is hell, and they shall not find any refuge from it.

    122- And (as for) those who believe and do good, we will make them enter into gardens beneath which rivers flow, to abide therein

  • 20 people got owned by Jolene taking thier boyfriends haha!

  • i wanted to hear dolly parton but the other's voice is also pretty aswell i guess.awman this vid makes me sad:(

  • what a cruel woman denying to her man a good f.ck

  • I think you people are missing the point of this song, yes it sounds like she's begging her not to take her man, but what she is saying is that even though she is pretty enough to take him she is asking her not to because he is the only one for her, looks don't matter... of course if he doesn't treat you right he's not worth it, but most of us have been through this and love someone we shouldn't and allow someone to treat us like they shouldn't also...

    but good job on the song.

  • Gr88 but sad song

  • Pssh let Jolene take that guy. He's ugly :p

  • Comment removed

  • gran bella voce

  • shes so beautiful it stuns me

  • beautiful

    

  • Love this song, excellent artist,

  • Dolly Parton now looks like Duffy?

  • omg the girl who plays Jolene is so ugly XD

  • This version is ok, but personally I like Dolly's original better. The way she sings it gives me chills were Mindy's version just seemed kind of flat, in my opinion anyways.

  • @lurch873 I agree. No one does it like Dolly I love Dolly Parton!!!

    ( Hailey age 11 )

  • @lurch873 I like them both, but disagree that this version is flat. It's more like listening to a voice on the wind-its just a different approach. Musically, this arrangement is much better than the original, it builds and swerves like a folktale (like the fabulous original it is remaking/in tribute of: tribute by the very fact that Dolly is part in it).

    Dolly's harmonizing in this blows me away! Man, those are soaring power vocals.

  • @lurch873 I love both but must disagree that this one's "flat". It's...

    well in my opinion, this one sounds alot sadder then Dolly's (and it IS kind of a sad song and all...)

  • I LOVE JOLENE MY DAD LOVED DOLLY PARTON

  • @ANGIEKING82 im on ur dads side :)

  • i so love thisc song i used to sing it when i was little i still do and it brings back the same emotions and i love it

  • dude the guy's an idiot and he is uglyyyyyyyyy. jolene is no where near as pretty as mindy.

  • Comment removed

  • Not bad but Dolly Parton is better.

  • Beautiful 

  • sweet

  • been lookin for this song <3

  • jolene is far from as beautiful as the singer, so why wouldn't she be able to compete?

    just have to ask, what's wrong with dolly parton, she's all botox and silicone?

    according to me that means a very weak personality.

  • @87mrks Her career depends on how she looks...this is the way society and showbiz expect her to look, even at her advanced age... :(

  • haha, what a redneck.

  • should have set the truck on fire. After hearing my middle name said that many times, I'm ready to set the truck, and the cheaters inside of it, on fire and watch it blaze. And, yes... my middle name is Jolene, and I hate it.

  • Comment removed

  • @Sk8rRdHd what's cooking tonight? Cheaters

  • @TheKatsumi97 lol

  • when exacacly does dolly sing?

  • It rarely is such a good cover

  • Men are pigs. The fact he is with Mindy in the vid and sneaking off with "Jolene" in the woods, come on. Mindy is so beautiful and listen to that amazing voice, the guy is a retard. And Dolly Parton? Who would cheat on Dolly Parton. Of course half the women in Hollywood getting cheated on the guy must be REALLY insecure. Halley Berry? Kim Kardashian? Extremely beautiful women. I just don't understand the male species.

  • @JenSpicher it's only a song. and if we go there women probably cheat on men more than the other way around. men just don't cry about it as much. they just get pissed off and drink

  • Um, where's Dolly in this? This isn't the version w/her performing back up.

  • @hraka1962 She is in the beginning she is the one that is opening the photo album and closing it at the end its her memories.

  • She is in the beginning she is the one that is opening the photo album and closing it at the end its her memories

  • Mindy Smith's version seems much better than Dolly Parton's version. Mindy has mixed emotions and feelings with this song.

  • YEEEEA... mindy looks WAY better than Jolene... lol.

  • i love the song and mindy but i dont get it isnt this dollys song she isnt as good i think

  • i love the song and mindy but i dont get it isnt this dollys song

  • Best re-make in the history of re-do's. Awesome!!! Gave me chills.

  • " Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene . . .

    I'm begging of you, please don't take my man "

    Phoenix

  • I really hate remakes and covers, but this was done right. Very complimenting. 

  • @seheart Dolly put her seal on it by appearing in the video. She must like it.

  • dolly is soo beautiful in this video...i love the way mindy sings this

  • i love this song

  • Mindy is much better looking then the redhead, but I give 2 thumbs up this is a great song!

  • Great folksy version.

  • i like it, i dont love it.......i love Dolly PArton.....the way she sing n the rythum of guitar superb!!

  • if that was me i would not be begging if i knew what was going on with jolene and her man i would have fought that girl where she would'nt have messed with him again and then i would have gave him some 2!

  • I haven't heard this song in the longest time. I still like it as much as I did back then though.

  • *sighs*this is how i feel with all the girls in my school!

  • @devilschild10286 don't worry in 10 yrs you would be their Jolene

  • @kaslab1 i wish....but probably not

  • Just curious, but who on earth actually plays "Jolene" in the video? I swear I've seen her somewhere else...

  • @SeeKelp1438 She was on Supernatural, CSI, and i think the X-files when she was little.

  • @ProfessorLaFey What she was on supernatural?!?! as who?!?!

  • @allpowerfulcc As a college girl... It was ether the 'Hookman' or 'Trickster" episode, i forget.

  • @SeeKelp1438, Jolene is played by Model Holly Finley, also known as Finley.

  • That Mindy girl can't sing ti like The Second Queen Of Country Music Dolly Parton Loretta Lynn Is The First Queen Of Country Music Love You Loretta All 50 Years Of You.

  • I saw this video when I was younger, but I forgot the name of the song and the singer who sang it. But just the other day my sister had this song stuck in her head, the only part she knew of the song, of course, was Jolene Jolene Jolene Jolene Please don't take him just because you can. That's the only part I knew of it also, I'm 14 years old right now, and that song just stuck with me. Happens all the time with me.I hear a song when I was younger, and hear it again when I'm older and I know it.

  • aahaa , its mah naame :D

  • original was 10X more better!

  • I'd pick Mindy, especially if I got to listen to her sing all the time.

  • Its good but Dolly is better

  • this song is good

  • mindy smith is soooo pretty i wisk i looked like her

  • @011maximumride not me two so much

  • @natea7894 why?

  • Jolene reminds me of Victoria from Twilight lol

  • Graet but Dolly is better

    but mindey are verry pretty

    ...

  • I was born in 1975............. my parents used to listen to this song over and over again... although I think Dolly's voice fits better to this song, Mindy does the job well!

  • i luv this song!!!!

  • awsuuuuuuuuuuuuum song

  • dolly parton looks like barbie.. she looks sooo perfect.

  • Mindy's never looked better. Best remake of ths song I've ever heard & I love Dolly!

  • This is beautiful. I did not think anyone but Dolly could do this song , but I think I like this version better. It kinda has the Appalachian sing song music that I like and a darkness that Dolly didn't put into it. Immitation is a form of flattery.

  • Dolly Partons is the best Amazing voice

  • White Stripes version is the best....haha

  • I like this better than Dolly Parton.

  • what a great voice, amazing!

    why feat. dolly? did she sing aswell?

  • @sovsemor .....Dolly sings harmony....although I don't hear her on this cut, she's obviously there on the cd.

  • How can you ask "why feat. dolly"? Dolly WROTE the song, that's why! So Dolly was shown writing the song in the video. It's great. Mindy Smith isn't one of these artists like others of today who cover a song and then don't even mention the original creator of it. She's being respectful and cool about it.  Which is why Dolly is there.

  • awwbeautiful voice mandy

  • lily you obviosly dont know what true love is :/

  • @chill1girl actually you're wrong there. I do. but if my man is gonna go, there's nothing i can do about that. no point in begging.

  • I would never beg anyone to not take my man. nope. this song is pretty but sad.

  • @thelilyofthevalley5 dude she wasnt beg jolene to take her man she was begin her not to even though jolene is pretty enough to take her man

  • i like this updated version and Mindy's voice is very etheral and has a plaintitive quality to it which i find very endearing.

    also, Dolly looks amazing in the beginningand the end of the video.

    verrrry well done

  • I am from the hills of E. TN and played with Dolly's brother Randy. I was with Mindy hangin' at the 5 spot before her cd was released. Dolly helped her because she said that Mindy sang this song the way she heard it when she wrote it. Now if the lady who had the soul to write this song says that Mindy has done the most soulful version ever then I have to say anyone who puts this done has no soul or ears to hear themselves...

  • für unsere Tochter!Wir lieben dich

  • wonderful

  • @Tanabor

    My aunt kills this song.Dolly kicks its ass but at least this chick is bringing new sheep to the fold.

  • I like this song better by Dolly Parton, she sings is better. I mean i love the song but it is sung better by Dolly. My grandma has Dolly's record for her her record player, and like this is the VERY first song on it, and when I go to my grandma's I am like CAN WE LISTEN TO DOLLY PLEASE!!! lol, but no, this song is MUCH better by Dolly.

  • 0.0 I FINALLY FPUND THIS SONG!!! I'V BEEN LOOKNG FOR IT SINCE LIKE2005!!!!

    ~Tader

  • mindy smith looks hotter than the girl who plays jolene.. the guy's an idiot!

  • @tahoepoet lol

    

  • yes!! she's singin mah name:)

  • im not reallly one for this kinda music, but after hearing an interview on the radio with dolly about this song i had to listen. good stuff too.

  • Lovely version of the song, I do love the version where Dolly sings backup as well as the original!

    I was just thinking, why are these two beautiful women fighting over this homely redneck cracker guy? My theory... he is either very good at 'going down' or hung... lol, what do you think?

  • omg dolly is so beautiful

  • Just found this. It's beautiful. On my way to find Dolly's version.

  • im black and ppl think im crazy because i like this song...oh well ;)

  • Im half black and my (black) boyfriend teases me cause I love country music.

    I was raised on it, music doesnt know color! =) Country music has stories and themes and meaning. Rap music, while fun to dance to, is usually just about how much money/cars/women they have.

  • Music is universal. It doesn't recognize color or ethnicity or anything like that when it's beautiful. I'm white, well actually Native American & I've been following Prince's music since we used to get bootlegs out of Minneapolis b4 he was signed to a label & then we got the ones banned from airwaves the same way. :) One moment I hold to dearly is when I finally got to see him on concert b4 my vision failed to light perception. The bodyguards let me stand w/i a few ft of him @ Jam of Yr tour!

  • I'm sure they told him b/c when he was singing a few of the songs he leaned down so close I could touch the tips of his fingers. For me, the memories are as bright as if they were yesterday. I had aisle 6th row seats w/ a sighted guide but couldn't see him from there. They even let me on stage to view the props b4 the concert. It was the time of my life... The best thing about my blindness is that it's colorblind & wouldn't matter even if it I still had as much sight as I did back then.

  • amazing:]

  • Jolene is the best!

  • The song on the CD has Dolly in the background on the chorus. It's so much better and almost chilling. Sounds like a ghost the way she sings it. Wonder why this version (the only video I can find except live) doesn't include Dolly.

  • I luv Dolly and Mindy!They're awesome! <3

  • 'Jolene' not pretty, Mindy smith is.

  • Was totally gonna say that but you beat me too it

  • i think they are both equally pretty... just my opinion

  • 'Jolene' is HOT

  • ''jolene'' is ugly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!!!

  • I heard this song along time ago by dolly and when i heard this i though man i love this song all over again!

  • If that redneck has a chance to be with Mindy, why would he take that freakin ugly girl?

    ANYWAY, I love it :D

    Can anyone tell me where to find a karaoke version to this?

  • that guy doesnt look so hot

    his loss

  • mindy smith looks way better then the "jolene" and damn i like that version nice voice and ive always loved that text... it tells about the desier of a girls so pritty and so lovly no one can resist That pasion

  • Nice version. I don't like how she cuts the last "Jolene" short every time but I guess that's what makes this hers. No one can compare to Dolly, that's a big bra to fill. xD

  • lol! so true! i still totally love dolly though!

  • @mcrmaiden Hurrah for Double ds!
