[Rosiepooh75]

@JOSECARTT I've seen her live from 3 feet away playing guitar, banjo, and 3 other string instruments - not a recording... She's AMAZING. She is considered a phenomenal string player in Nashville...

[JOSECARTT]

@JOSECARTT you can change the tune of the guitar so all you have to do is play bar codes... that is how she plays

If you don't like Dolly at least be smart enough to acknowledge that she is truly one of Gods CHOSEN!!!! You smart ones will get it!!

[BeeVan19]

Has anybody bothered to even look at this woman's career and not her breasts. She is an incredibly smart woman and is extremely respectful of herself and all women. Her business skills are wonderful, and she is a good natured and beautiful person. Of course, men... only see her boobs.

[parchettt]

Ouch...fine. I will walk away into the sunset, with the wind blowing in my hair as I stop on the hill, and send a glance back.

[BusigaBecky]

Btw; what's this song called? I can't find anything on "Try" on google or here. :( I want it!

[BusigaBecky]

After I heard this song, I fell a little bit on love with Dolly's songs. :)

[travelnkitten]

LOVE THIS SONG GOOOO DOLLY! <3 u are such a blessing on this planet <3

[snowmominator]

Wow USMCxSNIPERx91! You should hear her cover Led Zepplin tunes. She is a musicians musian. Enjoy discovering her work.

[USMCxSNIPERx91]

Wow, I am sorry, but I had no clue that she was a good singer, I didn't know why she was famous.

[MalubaySyecado]

well why dont you do a little research?

[USMCxSNIPERx91]

Because, I have a life, outside of this computer.

Apparently unlike you.

Go fuck yourself

[MalubaySyecado]

If you had the time to make that comment you had the time to type in two words into google, it wasn't like your computer was far away you stupid dumb fuck too stupid to look something up.

[USMCxSNIPERx91]

Ok, forgive me if I don't want to look up why Dolly Parton is famous.

I came across this video randomly.

Get all defensive you fucking crust cunt waffle, because I didn't know why the fuck she is famous.

I mean who gets mad about that?

God your fucking stupid, " OH MY GOD DOLLY PARTON!!!!!!!!!!!!" " HOLY FUCKING SHIT, THIS MEANS WAR"

God I have seen people get mad over stupid shit, but you need to kill yourself, especially if you are going to get mad over a youtube video on Dolly fucking Parton.

[MalubaySyecado]

You should know most major names of the past 100 years (at least), including performers. If you don't you are a moron not to look them up when you run across them.

[mnkylvr17]

Dude I totally agree with you. O and BTW my best friend wants to be a sniper in the marines. Should I be worried about him? He says that they are towards the back so he is safe but I am still scared.

[USMCxSNIPERx91]

I don't really know that is what I want to be too, I have just started the recruiting process myself.

But, I don't care what his MOS (Job) is, you shouldn't ever worry.

The Marines are far different from any branch, they don't make exceptions, if you make it you are part of the worlds best fighting force.

In the army, it's a soldier/civilian.

In the Marines you are a fighting expert, the most disciplined, the deadliest.

Marines train to give the enemy the opportunity to die for their country

[mnkylvr17]

Yea that's true. He has been in my life since 2nd grade. So I guess it is natural to be worried.

[USMCxSNIPERx91]

But, it is just human nature to worry, I mean he will probably go to war if he makes it.

I mean if someone you love goes to war, or just training, regardless of branch, you are going to worry.

And in reality, it takes someone special that has to watch there loved ones fight, when they could have stayed home like everyone else.

I would just support him, and trust that he will be trained in the best fighting force in the world.

The marines don't train you how to die, but to survive, and kill.

[tomy2k9]

She first found fame with Porter Wagoner on a TV show, then left the TV show to try and break through mainstream charts with her country music, and the rest is history. "I Will Always Love You" was written for Porter Wagoner, not too sure about the entire reason but I know it had a lot t do with his disappointment at her leaving his TV show.

Oh and that's not from Google rather my head full of useless facts! Oh and Dolly rocks, hard!!

[carlosthomasfernande]

why is this dubbed?

[beaubrent]

She's amazing. Absolutely amazing. And so damn sweet, too.

[porn1978]

shes the breast..uhhh the best!

[ThomasHawkwood]

Dolly is awesome. A january 2006 Washington post article says "Paying for college scholarships in Sevier County since the 1970s. She currently provides $60,000 a year in scholarships at the county's high schools." My nephew graduated from high school a few years ago in the Knoxville area and as many graduates names were announced it was added that they were recieving scholarships from dolly

[tombom21]

I was here for my sister. The song was so beautiful to me.

[dolly244]

Forget all those bad comments you read! Think about where she started? And then think about where she is at! She is an inspiration to all. Peace

[CarylDan]

Dolly Rocks!!! She the lady!!

[hotprofdude]

OK, people; let's get back on track...I'm reading too many posts about how great and inspirational DP is...let's talk about her tits...

[codyburgett]

I'd like to know how on earth she plays the guitar with those nails of hers! LOL

[Musicizheaven2541]

wow .. her song really inspired me to keep going and keep trying :]

thank you dolly for inspiring not only me, but the rest of the people out there.

you've done a great job at achieving your dream and thank you for telling others that nothing is impossible if you try.

[brettcrannyman]

She's a very insperational women and I know she has touched the hearts of many with her songs.

Keep on going Dolly!

~BrettCrannyman~

[maiden666guitar]

TITS...

[titansmommy]

Beautiful!

[ladymarielaveau]

I really wish I could get a recording of this!!! I love this song

[myfamilynme]

Awesome! What an inspirational song! Her speech was wonderful, too! Dolly is a sweetheart!

[fidoeinstein]

I hope she does go around with speaking engagements. She really touches people and her music has touched so many. She's a prolific writer, good actress, and now with the honorary doctorate I am certain she has a few more things in store for us education wise. Gotta love a her for more than just two reasons, there's a multitude of blessings which she obviously keeps on blessings others with to love her for...

Woof, woof says Fidoeinstein

[thealexadiaz]

Beautiful, talented Dolly! And amazing personality and pure spirit. I should only hope to be such a good person and give back so much. She inspires me to be less judgmental and more appreciative.

[MalubaySyecado]

I'm a big fan of hers but are commencement speeches now going to be booked by who gives a concert? I realize that most college grads today are a bit retarded because they grew up with having to be entertained during everything they do ("The Chucky Cheese Syndrome"), but come on, maybe we can change that. I really hated when these things started booking celebrities for the sake of being celebrities, but performances should really be left to other venues.

[schroeder666]

I can completely understand your intention, and agree with your assessment of higher education these days, but it's not like commencement speeches are intellectual exercises. They're supposed to inspire and invigorate. They're not challenges.

[chucklehead12]

Dolly Parton is a very real person, liking to look pretty (that's her idea of beautiful) isn't fake.

I don't like fake people either but if you listen to her commencement address or any other interview on youtube you'll see how wonderful she is. And real.

now, I just want to know how she plays guitar with those nails. Holy crap.

[Zahnbuersteundpasta]

that was what i was thinking, too :D i was wondering why everybody was talking about how she is able to play with these boobs, but the nails are more important!

[larissaluvsjonah]

shes not even singing. she talking. and eww. she can barely play the guitar cuz her boobs are too big.. it hurts me to look at this women...

:/

[Zahnbuersteundpasta]

it's weak how intolerant you are. sometimes she's talking, yes, but she's also singing. i don't like her look either, but she's a pure soul.

[larissaluvsjonah]

im not hatin i just dont like fake people. and she is clearly one of the most fake people. it bugs me how people cant be natural anymore. everybody has to be tan. or have bigger boobs. or have a face lift.....which seems like what shes done more than once. its unatural. maybe i would believe there was something on the inside if there wasnt such a fake cover on the outside.

[Zahnbuersteundpasta]

i understand what you mean. but like chuckehead said that's her idea of beautiful. and what i think is it's better to try to make hiself like you like it then just bumming around and not beeing comfortable with theirselfs, but then thinking: "nobody like me" when they don't even like themselfs. i like that dolly likes herself. and i don't care if it looks fake to me or others.

[schroeder666]

you're only proving you're a shallow person by even judging with such petty acumen.

[SeniorBowls]

dang nice ass fucking tits!!!

[TheForceIsMyAlly]

Nice tits.

[cakedoodle]

Awesome! Go Dolly!

[slinky09]

What a beaut!!

[travelnkitten]

Dolly is soo amazing I am in tears soo pretty what an amazing soul <3

[slinky09]

If this women came to me at my graduation, god would bless me.

[rmbb10]

Powerful indeed; very nice performance.

[islandprincess73]

I listen to her forever she is amazing she is a typical country gurl,she sings from her heart,love u Dolly...

[otter4771]

I think this was lipsynced as well. Her guitar playing didn't match the music. Doesn't matter. Dolly's great.

[MicknMayMay]

she scares me

[pawclaws57]

I was about to tell you how stupid you were, but then I realized you're just a little sixteen-year-old punkass.  So I won't say anything, and just let you off with being a stupid kid.

[jillanderson23]

One word AMAZING!

[aceairsofter]

i never knew she sang that well

[devilofcv]

she's amazing...

[chica000bonita]

def. one of my fav performers...I got accepted there...that could have been my commencement! lucky!

[missjordanrae17]

this women is like amazing, (: i wish i could meet her ha.

[jakaddams]

this song stole a single tear in my eye.

[catsrock1214]

she is an amazing singer!

[AztekFreak0105]

Comments should be disabled for the sake of University of Tennessee's Image.

[SagatProductions]

I love ur tits dolly =)

[cat4uhere]

Simple, heartfelt and real. I'm sure there were several in the audience, who thought why is she up on that stage? This isn't Mr. Rogers Neighborhood. Well, I hope the students understood the hard work, and self-made woman intelligence behind the Dolly facade. She's marketed herself well over the years, and still manages to be a kind, gentle soul. Not a perfect soul (no can be), but a human being, that remained true to herself.

[slinky09]

What a superb comment. I wholeheartedly agree!

[professor707]

Dolly is a real inspiration to many. She walks her talk.... God bless you Dolly,

[kingdomofharts]

what is this song called its so beautifle

[coolie7bryan]

Me too, only i didnt stop at the musics, if you catch my drift.

[sliverX12]

love it...

[xxlebnezexx]

how can i download tht song?!

[4thhokagay]

Dolly, you are truly an inspiration. A gift from God!!

Thank you for the music that gives wings to dreams.

[gonfishin1]

I really like her sound and her phrasing on the guitar is melliflous.

however she also has some massive knockers

[orange2833]

dolly you are spectacular, always have been and always will be.. Texas loves you!

[defaultuser11434]

great singing, great lyrics, nice playing and some great ... .well you know

[supergreekaz]

Why can nobody write music like this anymore? She may not exactly look it as we'd think, but she is one classy woman.

[Espen414]

Dolly. An American Treasure!

[jax1492]

great song

[4shnoogue]

wow. Dolly is awesome! I am not sure but if that was live... that was flawless. She is amazing anyway! btw, loved her speech

[xXxShawn8xXx]

How could that have not been live?!?! it was practically acapella. I dont think shes even recorded it. she wrote it specifically for this speech day

[YAYABELLES]

dolly ur like my new inspiration now, aside from charice, ill have another one to watch on youtube, thanks a lot!

[xXxShawn8xXx]

love this song!!!!

[gameiohfreak]

[tennyc]

as a native Tennessean living in NYC trying to make it in this biz of show , this tune inspires me to no end, I really needed a boost of positive energy and who better than Dolly to deliver. Thanks Dolly for being the wonderful person you are.!

[ehaww]

[ronnieluv]

This is so beautiful. I hope she records this and releases is it on her next album! Dolly, I love you!

[scfatboy01]

Dolly is the Best... Great Song

[mikegibbowr]

This song hits all the right notes... and as a songwriter i know one or two things about that... may we be as noteworthy in our pursuits... Mike Gibbowr

[Alvin4NY]

I don't know what I was looking for on You Tube tonight, but this will do nicely. Thanks Dolly. You always inspire.

[Shaniaforeverfan]

is this a new song?

[tomo1tanker]

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've every heard her sing. I think it's even more beautiful than Coat of Many Colours.

Thanks so much for uploading this.

[Chick6517]

this was long.. haha im not gonna lie i almost decided not to finish it but then there were certain things that lkept me entertained and over all it was a good video nice job guys!

[DOLLYWAYNE38]

the darn thing keeps freezing but i love the song anything Dolly does i love it and i believe if u fail try again

[dollypfan994]

this song gives me goosebumps:) exellent dolly standard as usual:) did Dolly write this song, does anyone know ?:) x

[Tammtam1]
