i think jessica lowndes (adrianna) sings it best on 90210 and i like the dolly parton original this one is not bad but e.g. i don't like the white stripes one. this is pretty good tough and she doesn't sings it perfect that makes it better because in the lyrics she sings about a girl who is better in everything and so on i think her voice fits pretty good here
I have this playlisted here and every time I hear it I find myself dancing in my chair. :-)
As far as I'm concerned David Cooke,David Archiletta,and Brooke should've tied for first. Brooke is my favorite of the 3(not just because she's incredibly beautiful),but I respect the outcome. The best season yet.
yes the girl named Jolene in the song is not so nice, but the name alltogether is good, and BTW you hear the name Emily all the time so it gets old fast :)
The reason Simon says those rude comments is to see if a contestant has what it takes to be a star. If they can't handle what he says,they have no business on stage...There's a lot of people a LOT ruder and vulgar(just look at comments on youtube for proof),..they make Simon sound like a teletubbie....
I think Brooke did very well on this studio version. My very favorite version, though, is the one done by The White Stripes. Forget that it's sung by a man--the pure, raw emotion pouring out of Jack White's voice gives ya goosebumps!
This version is better than her live version but she still needs more 'feeling' or emotion in her music...she would be MUCH better. Especially this song, its a very powerful song and she should have portrayed that.
So, she was on A.I. this year? I didn't watch this year. She's very talented, has a great voice. She's a very pretty young woman, also. How long did she last before being voted off?
Have to say its a shame she didn't pull off this song as well on the show. Tnis is so much better. Think lot of her performances on the show were a little like that. Saw touches of something, but think the pressure maybe told on her more than on the others at times when in the live shows. Hell can tell by her blowing lines etc, still good singer, hope she gets to do something with her first love (music).
You don't have to put someone down to say that you like her. They are all great in their own way. Jason is crazy talented. Him and Brooke might duet together..which would be soo awesome..they would sound great together!
okay u gave me a minus when i was giving her a compliment wtf!? just because ur jealous of brooke cause she can sing dont mean u do that... plus if u dont like her DONT FUCKING LISTEN! GOD!
I actually wasn't too crazy about her live performance because like the judges said, she didn't really connect with the song. But in this version, it's fantastic! She really seems to be singing from the heart in this version and I think she sounds great! Thanks a lot for posting this!
Even though Brooke was voted off the American Idol television show, she is going to be just fine. She certainly has a musical career ordained in her future. You go Brooke, and keep your head up, because you are an American Idol to many.
Brooke is AWESOME in the studio. Can't wait to get her CD - and I thought she did this song great! Hope she wins! the davids are going to be tough to beat though!
honestly, i like this verison better than the dolly version. her voice is so beautiful and pure, and i just fall in love with it, because i think she makes it more relatable.
Brooke did not do a good job on this song. It is one of Dolly's greatest songs and she butchered it. The only positive thing I have to say is that I love the song.
Brooke is gonna win. everyone loves her. she does great with every song. amazing. she has such a pure voice and is talented. if you notice a pattern every week she is safe she if the first one to be and usaully the first ot be out. if she comes after the fourth person i know she is in the bottom. she rocks anyway and even though she cant hit the high notes she still will win it all
I'm not that huge on Brooke but I absolutely loved what she did with Jolene. The violins go with it so beautifully. I was surprised she was in the bottom 3 during country week.
The violin part is in the original that Dolly did and it sounds 10000 times better. She's just singing, when Dolly sings it you FEEL the emotion of it. You're not just listening to a song like when Brooke sings it.
she is so great love her and voice and whole personality best girl hope her in top 3 and her record she s sweet and best in studio listen to it just great vote for brooke i would i m not from america im always excited to watch her performance hope her best tomorow and i love this performance every day more and more just vote for her
is it just me or does her voice sound small in the studio version? i get the impression it's dolly parthon singing. but that's just the studio playing with her voice.. she's still great
She's good.. She just talks too much when the Judges are Criticing her.. It's like she's gonna get Personally offended by their words so in order to Not Get Offended, She has to keep "discuss" the decisions with them. Like if they say "That song was just okay" She'll interupt and say "Oh Awsome!, You're absolutely right, It's a Great Song." "That song was not your best" "Okay, It's okay Fans! He's right, it may not have been my best but Yeah, definately know I can sing a lot better". LoL
I'm almost 40 years old and I grew up listening to old style country, including Dolly Pardon and this song in particular and I absolutely hated it. But when I hear these young American Idols sing her stuff, I just love it. I guess I don't like Dolly's voice.
I don't know why Simon didn't like this because I though this and "Let it Be" were her best performances. I love Brooke White. David Archuleta, David Cook, and Brooke are in my top 3. They're awesome!! :)
yeah i love her please vote for her she has something special top 3 are two davids and her hope her best performance next week love her vote for her and listen other songs before they are great like you re so vain and love is battlefield she is so good in this studio versions every time best
i adore the conviction in her voice when she sings. she doesn't need to sing high notes when she has a pure sound all her own. i just can't believe she was in the bottom 3 last night. oh well, even if she doesn't win, i'm still buying her debut album!
