Dolly Parton - Jolene (Audio) 

why is this comment so underrated?

@@zari564 no idea honestly

Damn.....that’s deep!!

My brother! So true! And heartfelt! Much love always!!!

Couldn’t have summed it up better. It’s a very emotional song about insecurities and vulnerability, and how people will stay in bad relationships because they love others. It’s tragic.

What Dolly tells us about her man : -He's the only one for her -Her happiness depends on whether or not Jolene takes him from her

Alex White this almost describes myself 😀

Jolyne Cujoh?

@@itsdigiorno9450 Jolyne has emerald hair and Auburn eyes doe

Wtf Dolly hadn't ever listened the term ffm?

What?! 😅

@@sharandasmith5058 begging a woman not to take her man? Complimenting that woman? Asking for mercy? Haven't heard it from a male or female ever, this is a unique perspective. Men and women have too much pride to do songs like this

You need to listen to Etta James then

​@@chaingangbiscuit ❤

@@chaingangbiscuit It paints a picture of true sadness and willingness to lay yourself at someone's feet, begging for mercy, just to have a chance to keep the small sliver of happiness in this world. It's a ballad. It's tragic, it's humane and it's beautiful.

Beyoncé's version is just as good. I like them both. And, I love both Dolly's and Whitney's versions of I Will Always Love You. It's one of my favorite love songs.

@@TruthIsLikeTheSun Finally someone who doesn't have to set the 2 against each others. You can like both or like one of the 2 versions without downgrading the other

@@frostbraus9527 the naturally Human response based on Human behavior is to compare two similar products, works of art, etc. This is a sign of intelligence. Now if you don't want to compare them that's on you but it's good to compare. Dolly Parton's version is better. There's more soul in her voice... probably because it's a song about a real-life event.

@@thepcenthusiastchannel2300 never said comparing wasn't good but doing it to downgrade something else is. Mind you both versions are based on real event : Beyoncé with "Becky with the good hair" and Dolly with Jolene which is why in Dolly P from Beyoncé you hear Dolly P saying to Beyoncé that Becky reminded her someone she knew from à similar situation. The thing is Dolly is begging Jolene no to take her man cause she's just a woman who wants to have a family against the beautiful Jolene who has the beauty to take him any time while Beyoncé is warning Becky not to come again like she did or she won't live in peace like 10 years ago cause she is Beyoncé and has the ability to threat her live. You can compare but when you do it at least have your infos about both cause otherwise you sound clueless

Plot twist: Jolene trying to steal dolly AND her Man from Jolyne

i think Annasui WROTE this music

Boy I wanna know

You're not the only one.

You guys are not alone.

Aye, I'm thinking the same thing.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

I think you are not the only one. Well, that's just how it is... Life I guess

The other one just flat out sucks!

You’re such a hater. Miserable people. Dolly Parton herself requested Beyonce to cover Jolene. Thank God Dolly isn’t a miserable human being like some of you people.

​@@stephenmolina9818your a hater definitely not a real Dolly fan because she was asked by miss Dolly herself to do this song and finally decided to do it..😂😂your hating on the queens request

I love this! I get why Dolly wanted Beyonce to do the cover too, they're a kindred spirit. Dolly has that Sweetness and Bey that Spice. So beautiful.

Beyonce is trash

Yeah, Whitney made the song so different and her own. Beyonce did more of a cover, a really good one, but still.

I think Dolly's version was more pure and innocent. Beyonce's version was met with malice and anger and contempt for Jolene. Both artists are great. When I first heard Beyoncé version I didn't like it. But it's very creative. It's a very good album!🎉

​@@dozzzorWhitney's is more of a cover into a new musical style, whereas Beyoncé did a remake into a new meaning. It allows people who didn't relate to Jolene, but maybe enjoyed the sound, to possibly FEEL connected to the fact that it's natural to express anger in such a situation. Stages of Grief you can feel both versions of Jolene at different points in life

@@ErikaBardere Still, same song. Sorry not sorry.

@dozzzor don't need to apologize to me... It's considered a "loose cover" & that's just what it is 🤷🏽‍♀️

don't you mean 'jolyne'? edit: istg so many people are replying to me saying 'no it's jolene' so let. me. elaborate. i and the person i'm replying to both have a jjba profile picture, and Jolyne is a character from that show - whose name is derived from this song 'Jolene'.

Heard Beyonce's ?

​@@katefevre6222Beyonce bastardized this song. It suppose to be a painful song but Beyonce turned it into some kinda weird bad bitch song.

@@topcow23 I think Beyonce just modernized it to today's women that's not sitting around being submissive.

@@topcow23nothing wrong with confidence. It's two different voices. She’s afraid while Beyonce is ready to defend her man, I think it's nice when sung by a different person

I found Beyonce's version a bit forgettable and kind of funny that she's still clearly bothered this woman her husband chose to have an affair with. The White Stripes' version is really good, but I agree Dolly is the classic.

Agree - what a beautiful face she has. There are some photos of her from early in her career where it’s not unreasonable to say “she is one of the beautiful women in the world”. In the era every bit as stunning as Raquel Welch or Faye Dunaway

A lot of wives let themselves go as they age and also turn into total bitches, and then they do not understand why their husbands leave them.

Jolene looked like Emma Stone tho

@@Mariose123 I was thinking more like Bryce Dallas Howard, she’s a real redhead beauty. Emma stone is a natural blonde lol

Is miss bey referred to Beyoncé? Cause that was not an imitation. It was a mockery, it was the antonym to the songs true meaning.

rock. Ms. Parton and many, many other people may hear and understand what you are saying but I am sure some may beg to differ with your overall comment, and as they still say rock, "Different strokes for Different folks"

Let her write something nearly as good.

Sounds like a plot twist🤔😂

says who?

she seems pretty interested tho, from the way she describes her.

Yessss🙌🏽 i wish I could meet her

PLOTT TWISTT

Can’t come up with original comments eh?

@@dI9ESTIVES123 "I got the name from a little girl that had come up to the stage for an autograph in my early, early career," Parton said in an interview with Norwegian television program Lydverket in 2008. "And I said, 'you are the prettiest thing I've ever seen.' She had this red hair, green eyes and fair skin. And I said 'what is your name?' and she said 'Jolene.' "I said. 'I'm gonna write a song about you and if you ever hear it, you'll know it was about you.'"

@@dI9ESTIVES123 The moron sound like Kanye,What is the best part of being a dad?-He said:Kids

It's a good song but in 2023 now, you can't blame women again. If your man cheats on you, he is trash and the other woman isn't to blame.

@@user-fi4jk7qf2k bro what

Boum! 🔥 Dolly: Jolie chanson, se met dans le rôle d'une femme humble (rare). Beyonce: Reprise, se met dans la peau d'une "bad bitch" comme on en voit des millions ces temps-ci, hostile, se donne crédit pour tout, sans aucune qualité démontrée. Pour paraphraser quelqu'un de proche de moi: "Si je suis Jolene, je laisse Dolly tranquille; mais Beyoncé, carrément je lui chourre son mec."

Obviously you don’t /have/ to listen to more country music if it’s not your thing, but if you like Dolly, you might like Loretta Lynn.

Ha😂 me too I was like I heard this before and Dolly did it better please bee hive don’t chew my head off about the truth just in my opinion the original song sounds the best to me just saying

I like them both though. Different perspectives on Jolene. Lol

Bet HAD to change it up..for one..to fit today's vernacular and two...I'm assuming she didn't wanna make it about a Becky(Dolly's description is definitely Becky) but make it general..aka ANY woman..n her being her..she wasn't n shouldn't be sayn the other jawn looked better or she can take her man .sexing him not necessarily taking him...she HAD to make it fit modern times and fit her image story..just like this one fit Dolly's story at the time.i like both versions..I'm just here cuz l forgot how it sounded..plus they BOTH gonna come up off this song...many gonna like Beyonce version(not cuz it's better just cuz they like it n can probably even relate) n BOTH her n Dolly will benefit..the changes alone I believe gives her writing credits so either way(even w/o writing credits) they both eat n it revives the original..double bubble for dolly.win win..n if we recall when her n Jay went thru whatever it was..he spoke about his infidelity and how he did what he did cuz of his issues .n how therapy helped sort that stuff out..n how she helped him by being patient knowing his issues n them work. Thru the bs..so when she says she raised him up..hey.lol

@@meicealways5842payin and desperate to win the Album of the year HAHAHA

@@EJflores24 ok good maybe she’ll win Bye

I enjoy both versions

Oh what a bummer! You can enjoy both...

Jolene might not be as beautiful as her, but she was just complementing her to back off.

that wasn't the point of her calling Jolene beautiful. Jolene might have been a vixen, and those types of people live to break up relationships. She is admitting she is inferior to Jolene in hopes that Jolene doesn't take her one and only love.

maybe jolene is just fiction...

There's a series on Netflix about 8 the top dolly Parton songs

I just seen her say jolene was a young girl who asked for an autograph. Dolly complemented her saying she was very pretty and asked her for her name. She told the young girl she was going to write a song with her name and if she ever hears it she’ll know it was about her inspiration.

Eleanor Rigby maybe?

Becky

Sarah Smiles - Patd Natalie - Bruno Arabella - AM Jessie’s Girl

Kiki

maggie may and jenny

You should also hear the "Slow Ass Jolene" version that was used on the TV show "The Blacklist" a few years back. It is amazing how wonderful it sounds. Dolly's voice almost sounds like a guy but her voice and the instrumental track sound iconic slowed down. I can't imagine many hits where the singer would still sound great when slowed down.

I've decided I'm going to kill the #2 of Passione.

A little girl said her voice was love

Yes, this sing had to be made by an angel or made I heaven

Finally someone said it!

Amen.

Fr...he talks about her in his sleep at night

Its obvious that the man is the issue, that is not the point of the song. She is probably not at the point in her life where she can accept that. The only thing she can think of is the heartbreak if he left. Avoiding that pain causes her to forsake every drop of pride she has left. I think we can all imagine her leaving that dude down the road when she realizes just how much she is worth. This is not that day.

That's the whole point. The protagonist is insecure.
