whatever
You decide to do Jolene

| imposter13red - whitney houston's cover of 'i will always love you' is total shit compared to dolly. holding out notes entirely too long doesn't not equal better quality. | |

| Dolly Parton is good. She writes her own lyrics, unlike a lot of country singers these days. If it wasn't for her, there would be no cover by the White Stripes! Anyway, if you're a fan of the White Stripes, why not at least have a little respect for the artists they like? | |

| jack took the greatest heartbroken love song and put the proper emotion into it. Dolly sings it all upbeat and happy, it just ruins the song. That and read the lyrics then look at dolly parton, SHE'S FULL OF SHIT. Thank you jack for making this song into what it was suppose to be, the greatest heartbreak love song of all time | |
