The White Stripes - Jolene. Glastonbury 2002. 4/14

[LovemyKLR]

Hands down the best version of this song. Get chills every time I hear it.

[yeoshMYC]

I think this is by far their best cover of "Jolene". The emotion he projects when he says the name "Jolene" is just...-can't find a word that would do this justice-.

[Dragon97577]

Compared to this Dolly parton sounds like a dying cat

[fametube0000]

cool 

[veraRockt]

like a boss

[kryfex]

He looks like egoraptor :D

[secretagentYTer]

The passion... its just so... I dont know, hes just amazing

[thelandofme]

you know what's funny, if this guy went to one of those talent contest, they probably would turn him away. Which sort of tells you how crappy those shows are about finding talent, sometimes it's not about having the best voice, but the right amount of talent and charisma. Jack White has a gigantic amount of both! I love him

[secretagentYTer]

@thelandofme I was thinking the same thing. you know, anyone who makes it to hollywood on American Idol has enough talent to make it in music if they could write good songs. And as you said, even then some get turned away from the start

[tomhalling]

@pisobarz That doesn't matter when a band is this good.

[djdogjuam]

GENERAL MINUS!!

[pisobarz]

that guitar is getting out of tune. argh

[alexbeachballs]

This cover rocks, probably one of my favourite cover versions. I don't understand how people can watch this video and think the drummer sucks, it's a Dolly Parton song, what did you expect?

[BruceLeDouche]

Black Keys > White Stripes

[kindergardendropout]

@BruceLeDouche I like the Black Keys, but NO.

[onetwothreefourfight]

Emotion on this is unreal.

[zvillegirl]

Can't get this out of my head! :)

[savetheearthkillme]

one does not simply wear a blue shirt on the White Stripes concert

[marcusvegetable1]

AWESOME SONG; GREAT PERFORMANCE

[theswoogie]

Kaching!....Dolly makes another buck!  Good for her, quite a successful songwriter and businesswoman.

[Irishpunked]

nothing like that first 'power' part >:)

[Ganwarable]

It doesn't matter that he is a man singing a woman's song because of the emotion he puts behind the song

[scarletsumer]

god this song is amazing the way jack sings it is crazy good. I love u jack!

[NNN1KO]

he make amazings covers

[22shalala]

Is anyone else fascinated by the ideas humans hold in regard to mating?

[MsMirko22]

ooooooooooooooooooooooooh man this is beautifull

i wish i been in Glastonbury that day

[JayDee1LZ2]

Love this cover-I would argue better than the original as Jack clearly begs harder

[Missjcg89]

Can someone please please please tell me where i can buy THIS version of Jolene? itunes only does under great white northern lights/live under blackpool lights, and they're just not the same!

[CurtDawg00]

@Missjcg89 Probably cant buy this one. But there is a thing called Youtube downloader that will let you download this vid. Then you could probably put it in a program like windows movie editor and take out the video and export it as an audio file. Im sure you could look up how to do it on the great internet.

[blackmath333]

@Missjcg89 Just google youtube-mp3, it lets you convert anything you hear on youtube in to an mp3

[Missjcg89]

@blackmath333 Woah. I cannot express how much i love you right now dude. You have revolutionised my life! Thank you!!

[bumbeetunagmailcom]

@Missjcg89

yeh its on the white stripes b side collections ablums

[HeartlessBastardLoL]

@Missjcg89 It's on their B side collection

[spershall]

I'd like to nominate this for Sexiest Thing on YouTube.

[highheadjester]

Lookin at Dolly my GOD what does JOLENE LOOK LIKE? JACK MY GOD.. GOOD song my friend!!

[pandora3891]

check out the white stripes version of Jolene from under blackpool lights

[pandora3891]

this crowd blows

[crogangstaa]

I love how he doesn't change the words to change the gender. I hate when people do that, the lyrics to this are so perfect and it would really sound silly the other way. BTW he's trying to praise the song, he's like quoting it and you never change the words around in the quote to suit yourself into the song coz it's not about you

[IAmHitGirl94]

@crogangstaa Exactly! He has enough respect for the song to not change around the lyrics to gender specify. That's just reason 1,843 why I adore the hell out of this man.

[MONSTERxCILE]

my mom showed me this song..<3 it and her for this :)

[JudeOnYelowSubmarine]

when artists cover good songs its very rare it will come out better than the original version and not everyone can do that. this cover is awesome! never liked white stripes till now

[bactory404]

Почему я не был в Гластонберри в 2002, Джолин?

[christosgrzs]

Love this song... just because of a girl... love u teta... :/

[hoobitman]

this is BEAUTIFUL.

[themadbassplayer13]

jack white is such a stud that he can cover a dolly pardon song and still be more then 115% of the population

[MrTrsmusic]

nice national guitar jacks playing there not to many artist use them anymore

[EmveeEss]

35 people wouldn't know good music if it slapped them in the face.

[EfexSuomi]

chills



[kirbyspit]

incredible gorgeous

[littlesparrow185]

this version ok but nothings compares to the queen Dolly its sad how a lot of people at my school think that this is the original but this is good

[jtboll00]

I dont care if jack white butt fucks someone in his spare time.. this song is still a masterpiece

[MrWarnsie]

Meg's drumming always raises questions about her ability (especially amongst drummers), but its her style that made the White Stripes sound what it was. Is she better than me, you, whoever? Who knows! One thing is for sure and that's the fact that pretty much every unknown drummer would exchange their own playing style in return for Meg's fame.

This is a great version of the song - thumbs up from me ;-)

[malibumut]

This is the most passionate & intense version ever... without a doubt, it so fully moves me,, if you can't feel it, I'm sorry.

[klarastroke]

Jack is a Genius!

[101Punka]

He makes it so much more believeable than the original! Lovie it!

[effellefourtwooh]

The Stripes are my shiiiiiiittttttttttttttttttttt­t. He really makes this song real.

[nirvanaNL1990]

please come back white stripes and perform in the netherlands!!!!!!!! 

[xxxsmokeweedxxx100]

looks like hes about to cry

[Agucha9]

this girl sucks on drums, he should take someone else or teach her how to do it

[Linear500]

@Agucha9 Jack asked her to drum with him because she wasnt technical and she played like a child, she had that 'Childs touch', which i can 110% understand why Jack asked her. You can say she sucks all you like but she has more creativity in her dumming than you do playing any instrument yourself or anything you do i bet. Jack quotes Picasso in an interview about her, 'It can take a lifetime to learn to draw like a child', and here is a perfect example of what he means.

[lalisamarie]

@Linear500 lol she still sucks

[ROCKSTAR0878]

@Agucha9 the drummer wich is meg rocks and she can play better then you thats why shes famous and your not.

[Agucha9]

@ROCKSTAR0878 ok, I wont argue with her fan. Nevermind. Maybe there is some sense in what youre saying, she plays like a child, ok, thats a way . IWhen I just first heard her, Ithe first thought was 'she sucks'' not ''wow, she can do it better than me, shes amazing'.. ; /

[cdinwv]

Love to hear Jack sing, play & his memorizing trances of musical insight! If a person can sing from shadows of a soul-it is Jack:) A true musician has no apprehensions, reservations or care to input because when you bring it from the soul-lives change for those who listen and feel the music & nothing is the same again because of a song's performance.I get shivers, tears, and envy listening to him playing this! Soul is alive in music & he has a name-Jack White is the man!

[leolibertinoo]

Jolene is a whore!!

[kachala]

De puta madre!

[ofgordonsamson]

God damn that's how this song should be sung!

[Snelis]

wow, she sucks at playing the drums

[afroditapunk]

Jack White is so fucking sexy! And god, singing Jolene makes him so good musician, person... I love this perfomance.

[Hatr316]

Damn this is soooo good!!

[IaraJordana]

replay replay replay replay  replay replay replay replay replay replay replay replay replay replay replay

[IaraJordana]

Fucking amazing  interpreter and singer

[LandCruiser13]

This is one of the best songs ever! What a voice. He's the bigest talent we've got in the music indrustrie right now.

[N4554u]

unparalleled talent RIP-

[carolyngrohl]

lol that guitar is so sick man!!!

[2ndChannelOfSlunn16]

:O

AMAZING! I am speechless!

[RaygunShaun]

I don't see what the problem would be if Jack changed the lyrics. Jolene would just be a lesbian, that's all.

[grai]

this is genius

[clementpontier]

Dolly Parton has 35 accounts.

[whitem00n333]

@kawryan yeahhhhhhhhh....... i'm a girl. and you're obviously not too bright. bye now.

[AnnaLynnGavin]

I love Dolly Parton but this version is SO Amazing!!! love it. :)

[sleeping2dr3am]

such conviction ~ Jack is soooo sensual, magical...MAGNIFICENT!!!

[Natzzzrocks]

Dude its funny how some people who just havent got anything better to do but to piss off fans come here to diss great artists just for the heck of it. Guess it most be fun getting some of the attention you never got when u where little. Pathetic.

[xXMrDodoXx]

@Natzzzrocks Some people still haven't grasped basic internet trends... It's called Trolling!!!!!

[SunriseJessamine]

Happy birthday third man! <3 

[goandrewgo]

White has Balls

[paully1969]

fantastic xxx

[kickalion]

is he a homo fag?

[Gero5151]

@kickalion Are you?

[Christiantheory]

FUCKIN' A!!!

[ryanshaunkelly]

we love the real thing !!

NadePaulKuciGravMcKi

[smooglegoogification]

This is the video I go to when I need " IT " !

God bless you Jack for your intensity !!!!!!

Fookin incredible .

[LetItBeRockForever]

this song sounds so much better life ^^

[jolene04049]

Im Jolene I love hearin people that can sing good sing my name. people sing it to me EVERY day though that CANT sing so this is nice to hear

[otis22g]

PASSION!!!!!

[MrBet01982]

what was the end of this? does jolene let dolly parton keep his man? or jolene took him?

[whitem00n333]

lol its funny how jack's sexuality is being questioned just because he decided to keep the beauty of the original song/lyrics. even if he were anything other than straight, what's the big deal. im pretty sure he's satisfied with his super model wife and doesnt give a fuck what youtube idiots think anyway.

[kawryan]

@whitem00n333

no matter what you think of jack, your wife would do him.  Probably only once or twice but would again if she could..

[IcyHot311]

@whitem00n333 Couldn't have said it better myself(:

[lukie69]

@whitem00n333 Sad people man, like you said, what if he was gay....... just so happens he isn't! Jack White fucking ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[MrFrietzakjee]

He ain't bi or gay, it's just an awesome song.

[LifeIsSweet7870]

How in the world would you know if he was bi based on the fact that he fell in love with a woman TobyKing? You don't. That is his personal business anyway. Who cares if he is gay, bi, straight or purple. He rocks.

[malibumut]

391,821 views last week, now... there's some excellent taste in the house....

[malibumut]

I week ago, 391,821, in 4 days 397,884, yesterday 397,984, now today @ 8.04 pm Australian time - 398, 890,, show's just how friggen good this track is!! Ha, enjoy my sweets. XO

[thanextbigthingcjc]

Okay so for everyone how is unaware that this is a cover. The original is Dolly Parton, now while Dolly does a mean Jolene, Jack adds soul. Now next topic. Jack it neither Bisexual, nor homosexual. He is married to a woman whose name I do not care for. Anyway. Jack loved this song and thought it was to beautiful to change anything in it. Thats why he says "Jolene .. Please don't take my man" because Dolly wrote it, which is simply beautiful. So does that clear it up? Okay, good :D

[ke1007]

I just cried all the way through this passionate and tortured rendition. I'm straight. You're a beautiful man Jack, and I'm proud to say so. Thank you.

[otis22g]

2:34-2:44=Passion

[MrsMosquiz]

Si hay algo que siempre me encanto de este grupo fue precisamente ese desborde de emoción cuando interpretaban su música eran genuinos, e aquí a jack un hombre cantando que no le arrebaten a su hombre.....hace la letra tan suya que la voz le tiembla estremecedor

[TheTobyKing]

@jackburton2009 maybe hes gay and 'his man' is bi

[joelrain]

@TheTobyKing He`s not. He`s married. He is not gay. or Bi.

[Rafeeqmulero123]

31 people got their man taken by jolene

[jskmarden]

@Rafeeqmulero123 34 people had their woman taken by Jack White

[WWFKaneFanXX]

@Rafeeqmulero123 *35

[MrsJoleneJB]

Jolene.. please don't take my man.

[darkangelosanchez]

De todas las presentaciones de "The White Stripes" haciendo cover de este tema, A Mí parecer esta a sido la mejor.

[Swankman]

its a night time song..

[jackburton2009]

LOL, doesn't make any sense with a man singing it.

[FesteringHeadsFilm]

@jackburton2009 Why?

[AprilDescends]

@jackburton2009 who caresssssss! :p

[frederikwashier]

@jackburton2009 sure it does :|

[druxka]

@jackburton2009 So what should he do? Call him Joseph, what? -.-

[notredamske]

yeay our baby is due in June and we will give her the name jolene (in our language its Jolien) :) LOVE THIS VERSION of the song!!!

[litliseli]

Awesome He uses his voice

[jdog2337]

This is an epic band and if you hate get the hell off this page!

[sheltie1000]

I,d love to see you try.

[Channel450]

They are both fucking stoned! Thats awesome!

[sheltie1000]

This guy is no genius. Terrible singer why won't people just admit this is rubbish

[gonzo1445]

@sheltie1000

man, only liam gallagher can call other musicians shit and look cool.

and jack white is genius. it's just an axiom

[bicboi97]

@sheltie1000 if i ever met u i would had fukn listen to all the white stripes song and after that i'd cut ur eaar off so the last thing ud here was the white stripes

[121589ryan]

31 people are douche bags!

[JazzyFunkyMan]

i think i will cry , and i think this jolene must be sexy

[alpine691]

i get chills EVERY time at 2:10

"but you dont know! what he means to me jolene!" yes i do jack... i do indeed

[nonix824]

I'm soooooooooooooooooooo lucky I got to see them perform live!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[slipstripes]

jack is probably the most awesomest dude ever

[IcyHot311]

0:13 his last Jolene.....OH MY GOD.

His voice is gorgeous, he is gorgeous, meg is gorgeous. I won't see them live either....I could cry.

[irenanadia]

talking about a genius in covering a good song

[mranimal67]

His emotion on his face and in his voice sends chills up and down my back!

[ypipou]

How the fuck is it possible that 30 people dislike this song ?!!!!!

[pinio1822]

Ja pierdole jak tak można wyć ! ! ! Czy on w ogóle się słyszał ? W chuj na minus idzie to

[moka10]

love meg's high input on the song

[bicboi97]

29 people got their man takin away from jolene

[hopingtoflyaway]

This is shit!

[getalife77381]

Way better when the Stripes sing it

[xPeanutbutterxJellyx]

the drummer is well off her tits on something

[kickalion]

is he gay? only gay can sing it

[kingofthekongos]

@kickalion

Moron.

[kickalion]

@kingofthekongos read lyrics, asshole

[kingofthekongos]

@kickalion

Believe me, I know the lyrics, I just find it silly to leave such a comment. Folk songs all over the world are written for a woman and sung by a man, and vice versa. And there's always someone who can't believe that a man can tell a womans story. Homophobic. And stupid.

[H1R0N4KAMURA]

@kickalion lol m8 u are so fucking idiot that my eyes bleeded when i saw your comment.....u call him gay...he is more man than all those artist today like bieber and etc (not a problem though with gay people...just tired of all those fakes who think that if some1 says baby bitch pussy ass dick and fuck in their song are man enough)

[kickalion]

@H1R0N4KAMURA don't cry faggot

[H1R0N4KAMURA]

@kickalion U are the impersonation of internet anonymity+no life bastards=youtube trolls

[ironhuman1]

@kickalion why u wanna bang him? freaking culturebarbarian

[sheltie1000]

Shut up! Emotion my arse

[sheltie1000]

One of the worst "bands" ever! Terrible singer plays an out of tune plastic guitar! Utter crap.

[Barneymanure]

@sheltie1000 I respect other peoples opinion, but yours is utter shit. There are only a couple people in the world who can play/sing with that kind of emotion and passion. You can actually hear his heart breaking through his voice.

Now maybe if you could do that i'd listen to anything you have to say,

[Jimbob8499]

Dolly Parton's Origional Was 10x Better

[nonix824]

So happy I saw them live,one of the best concerts ever!!!!

[Edethelegfrontman]

he just can't sing live

[rybazmarsa88]

@Edethelegfrontman stfu!!

[BenScottMusicChannel]

@Edethelegfrontman You're Kiddling Me Right?.. He i amazing live and in studio !. Snm!

[lexus400]

OMG WOW !! That is truely an awesomely brilliant rendition of Jolene :).

Passionate, emotional, excellent vocals, just superb and i can't praise

them high enough.

[avstwrt]

Uhhhh....really??

[Haloplayer20]

meg is such a drama queen, lol

[volcanictruth]

He ruined it completely..

[JustGuitarr]

@volcanictruth he made it perfect.

[volcanictruth]

@JustGuitarr I heard this song for the first time during the Grammy's this year, then kept watching videos including the original one by Dolly Parton and other covers.....possibly I dont have taste for such rendintions.......but the performance at the Grammys was the best, I hope they do a full song some day

[TheNotts93]

LOVE 

[faithwheeler100]

catch hell blues is the best song but its hard 2 play

[ooosteve]

ahhh, this sucks shit compared to good ol dolly parton.

@ooosteve

You suck
