I do not like Dolly at all. I think she's about as fake as a person can get...other than her voice which i don't like, but I will come to her rescue. Reba and Dolly both have made contributions to country music, and I don't think it's right to trash talk either one of them. And yes, Reba's career is going somewhere while Dolly's is not, but that doesn't disregard what she's done. Reba looked up to Dolly, which says something about her.
I love Dolly to death, she is such a good character and love her (Better get to Livin). However, looking stats wise, Reba would be the better singer. At the Age of 55 Dolly wasn't getting #1 hits anywhere, just sayin...
Personally I think that she sang this better than Dolly, but thats me I love Reba so much!!!!! They don't call her the "Queen of Country" 4 nuthin'! O wow she is my favorite singer ever!!!! (:
REBAFAN I must give you my deepest thanks, I think I found the best version yet of Jolene...and this is coming from a Dolly Fan so no disrespect to Mrs. Parton. But then they don't call Reba the Queen of Country Music for nothing =^D
No one can sing this like Dolly... but Reba did one hell of a good job and really did make it her own.
I really like it when artist who do get on well and respect each other show this respect by covering there songs in such a way that it is clear that it is not meant to out do the origional artist.
Thank God for the words " shut the hell up" HuntinBear!! good lord help you! Yes God may have gave us freedom of speech, but heck your taking advantage of it. & thank God for women like Reba & Dolly!! That's what you shoul be thanking God for, you MO-RON!! Reba DEDICATED this to Dolly, Reba is good, but yeah nobody cant do it like Dolly. I am BIG fan of both of 'em. Their both very outstanding. I couldnt live without
I love this song, but the picture at 1:14 was not Reba, Reba's bottom lip goes lower then that when she smiles, plus, her eyes are not that blue. Very close, but not quite.
I agree with blondekaylee22. No one touches Dolly.
The one exception might be my band's version of Dolly's song "Me and Little Andy" (see video at my youtube page). Some folks say it's better than the original and, it probably is.
@blondekaylee22 ...yeah that is why Reba is the queen of country and dolly is not because Dolly is so much better..Reba is the only country singer I have ever listened to and LOVE her acting. I saw a Christmas movie with Dolly in it and she was in an episode of Reba and she was absolutely horrible. I have listened to Dollys songs and she has a good voice but I do not like any of her music and I think everyone can agree Dolly has had work done and Reba is all natural...
What a lovely performance by a lovely lady. Dolly is Reba's idol and friend, singing Jolene is a tribute from Reba to Dolly. Why that upsets some Dolly fans I have no idea, as a Dolly fan myself I love the idea that songs written by her are loved by other artists.
i love it and hate it at the same time i dunno why because its a really good song but i hear this song pretty much everyday because my name is jolene lol
im sorry...but i do not feel she destroyed it....yes it's my opinion that no one can do it as well as dolly...but to say it was destroyed is just not cool...yet again that's my opinion.
u know wat dont go trashing women who obviousaly paved the way for so many others would dolly ever trash reba, no they r great friends besides reba did a great job and u r intitled to your own oppinion but reba is awesome and she did this as a tribute to dolly i love reba
I would never trash Reba as Dolly never would, I am just stating fact. I'm well aware that they are great friends, I didn't just fall of the turnip truck and Yes, I am entitlted to my opinion (Thank You and shut the Hell Up.)
actually by sayin she distroyed it you did trash her you could of just said that you like it better when dolly sings it and no one would have gotten defensive and please dont use unaproprite language. young children do use this site to
@UltimateRebafan16 HEY FRIEND.....How much fer the LOBOTOMIES???? I want to be able to relate, so I think I need one like yours! LOL GOOGLE MK ULTRA TRANCE by Cathy O'Brien, instead of being a brain dead aggressive dummy...OK. Is there anything worse than AGGRESSIVE STOOOPIDITY???????? LOL
@SprocketDrummer NICE copy-cat! You still have NO FUCKING IDEA do you? What is your strong suit.? YOU bang sticks and make a lot of fucking noise, and the rest of the dumbed down drones compliment you for that? I am SO FUCKING impressed!
@SprocketDrummer LOL WOW am I ever IMPRESSED!!! LOLOf course that is the barometer we all use for "Success" right drone-boy? Have you ever had an original virtuous thought in your drug induced stooopified life?
@nickatnoon61 Drug induced? Haha. You sad, sad little man. I don't guage my success on money made. I KNOW i'm successful by knowing I have fans that span the world. Money is but a welcome by-product That comes with doing what you love. Too bad trolls don't get paid by the insult, I'm sure you're be flowing in cash right about now.
@nickatnoon61 Wow how ignorant can you be? Reba has sold 10,000,000 more albums than Dolly has! Reba also possesses five more top ten hits and twelve more number ones than Dolly! And reba has more ACM CMA PCA then dolly as well as more nominations to those awards!! REba also has a new album out! Reba is the queen of country!
@corey0625 QUESTION! Do you have the ability to Google the term MK Ultra, and come up with some kind of insight into WTF I am talking about? I DIDN'T THINK SO! LOL The "music"/entertainment industry is designed to STOOOPIFY us..FFS! It has obviously worked for you! lol
wat do u mean she destroyed! reba is amazing, and yeah her and dolly are great friends, reba loves dolly and she would never do such a thing to her. reba did amazing.
@lastonetofight Reba is an MK Ultra trauma-based mind-controlled sex slave. Sorry to burst yer bubble drone-boy! And so are most if not ALL of your other heroes.....WakeTFU!!!!
