Something that's undeniably impressive about Dolly's songwriting is that anyone could sing them and it would sound like they're singing about their own life in a very personal way.
Exactly! Same with Taylor Swift. There's just something so unique about their songwriting. They can write about their unique personal experience and yet somehow make it relatable to millions. Its a unique ability.
@@catharticmemefairy2088 fair, write this comment , did a little more research and find out i was wrong, not all of his songs could be tagged as country 😅, will delete, should do more research first, bit half way and then comment
My mouth literally dropped open when he sang the first Jolene. Goddamn, his voice sounds so dark and crisp and rich. I've never heard him like this before, I didn't know I needed a cover of Lil Nas singing Jolene until he gave it to us. Bro I had a eargasm fr, if he doesn't put out any more covers or songs in this tone, a part of me will die.
As a heads up that’s three different effects. Reverb, autotune, and chorus. All three together make it sound natural. Take one out and you’ll have his natural voice. The chorus makes it sound crisp. You’ll hear “s’s” pronounced a bit more with chorus. Autotune makes it sound as though he’s talking through a radio hosts microphone. And then reverb gives him the echo. Those three are appealing because he’ll never be able to sing a bad note. Physically impossible as long as he’s close to the right pitch. It is audible though that he does sing Jolene out of tune at least once or twice. I will say that he should do more but needs to lose all the correction tools. I want to hear his natural voice not audio edited.
i love how there's not ONE SINGLE COVER of this song that sounds bad. it's like it has the formula of a universally good song or something, idk. i just love it.
Oh, the respect is there for sure-but Lil Nas X’s “lane” is no lanes at all, which is beautiful. He didn’t outshine Dolly; he altshined her: he shone in his own delicious way. (Dolly has stated publicly that she agrees). They’re both basically class on legs.
He s not being humble. He can’t sind’g any better. That’s very different !!!! Ptx did a great version, even better, THEY SANG IT a th DILLY PARTON HERSELF!! Check it out.ua-cam.com/video/oYCoyUxY2HY/v-deo.html
I loved this he sounds like he's exhausted and about to cry. which adds a unique tone on the song. in a good way I promise. On a random side note I would LOVE to hear his version of Fancy by Reba.
Dolly slayed the song. She is too sing songy with it and he is following in her footsteps. There is no real emotion in their songs. Miley Cyrus and jack white absolutely crushed their versions. None are bad, but those two just put the emotion behind the words.
His voice sounds like he’s haunted by the thought of Jolene being with his man. Someone else said Dolly sings with desperation and he sings with defeat and I cannot think of a more poignant way to describe this. He strikes me as a true artist who we will look back on with the same respect and adoration that we do with all other musicians who broke, challenged, and changed the mold.
I think you're wrong, but I also thought Taylor Swift wouldn't have made it past a year. Turns out people like garbage music and Lil Naz X has no qualms with obliging.

@@kalebmoore8397 yeah, a lot of folks from Georgia have the accent he has. The “country accent” has its own regional markers varying from state to state even counties.
This is an absolutely brilliant rendition of a classic. Dolly has to be proud of this, the entire way he sings it is perfect. He keeps just enough of the original, but at the same time, he sings it in such a way that it becomes a different thing entirely. Flawless. I am a fan.
I know this was a year + ago- but she did Tweet about how much she loved his cover and wished him success! One class act- and As someone said- I don't think there is one bad cover of the song- hell I even like her and Miley Cyrus' duo of it- but his version- puts chills on me.
You know, between resurrecting Billy Ray Cyrus's career and this, Lil Nas X is a surprisingly dignified country musician in a very undignified era of country music.
You're very right! As a fan of classic country, it's really folks like him + the indie/alt-country scene that are producing the real stuff, not the Nashville establishment.
Lil Nas X has genuinely come so far in such a short amount of time. Montero is by far my favorite album this year - and that says a lot. Very proud of what he has accomplished and even what he has done behind the scenes. Cant wait to see what the future holds.
It's his sincerity. Even though it's catchy as hell, his music is also unapologetically raw. He has so much talent and presence, and I'm always so stoked to see what he does next. And also, he's being controversial, honest, risk-taking and authentic, and still succeeding, and that is the best part of it all. His fearlessness makes me want to support him any way I can. (Also, this cover slaaaayyyss.)
I will never judge an artist by their stage name ever again. What a multitalented, thoroughly versatile performer and legit musician he turned out to be.
Luke May, I did the same, judged him by his stage name without ever having heard him. I was thoroughly shocked, and fully agree with what you said. He is a legit musician, and everything you said about him. Thank you, BBC Radio.
@@johndean4727 theyre more original AND talented than any of these boneheads combined. Theyre not a rip off, youre just triggered because you dont actually listen to their music. They dont even sound like lz
I love how without changing a single word the song takes on a whole new meaning. In the original it feels like the antagonist is Jolene trying to take her man but here I feel like it's "the man" taking both Jolene and the singer for a ride, probably seeing dudes behind Jolene's back but not having the courage to come out and make a commitment.
@user-qv2qf1jk5o ??? No one said anything about how being bi is wrong (it's not) or about how the singer is or is not bi. The implication from the song is that the singer's gay The unnamed "guy" can be a morally grey character, seeing others behind Jolene's back, without that having anything to do with someone being "biphobic". I am really not sure what you're talking about
He starts by collabing with Billy Ray, then moves on to his daughter Miley, then goes on to cover her godmother’s song. This man’s out here playing 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon through the whole music industry with killer songs!
So many people can’t even see how inspirational he is and how much he changed the game with incorporating country and winning so flawlessly at it…because they can’t see past his outward pride in who he is as a person and his sexuality
Is this forreal? Hate to sound like a hater but I really don't see what was special about this performance? Love him but this showed no vocal ability at all.
Lower register, slower tempo, low volume on the back up singers. Heavy percussion and some smooth guitar work. As much as I love the original. The music is an afterthought. It's so strongly vocal forward that she could sing it a capella and no one would notice. This version brings out a whole different vibe because it's been reworked to be a more balanced track.
Of course, that wouldn't be possible. The cover sounds nice, but don't forget that this isn't Lil Nas's voice what you hear. He only does the articulation, the rest is fully autotuned and lowered. Have you actually heard his voice before?
His understated delivery is absolutely stunning, heartbreaking, and mesmerizing. I love him more with every song he puts out. He defies stereotypes and I'm here for it!
The fact that he has butterflies everywhere as an homage to Queen Dolly is awesome. The more I see of this young man, the more I love him. Be you, My Love.
I think this is a really nice stripped-down version of the song. It doesn't have the soaring desperation that a more conventional cover may have, but there is a kind of quiet sadness to it that's beautiful.
I've listened to every version of this song I can get my hands on. There is just something so plaintive and heartbroken about the lyrics that they require revisiting, and he did such a great job of communicating those feelings while adding his own style.
It's rich and thick like peanut butter when he's singin. His rapping is different and just as golden as his singin just don't know how to word how it sounds
I can see a whole story via his way of storytelling… Nas’s character is in love with a bisexual guy and Jolene brought out all the insecurities he got in his relationship. I love this version so much.
You know music is done right when it makes you feel something, and this guy sings it like he means it (great voice too). I think Dolly would love this cover.
This is incredible, I can see glimpses of the man he’ll be when he’s older here, it’s exciting to think of the versatility of all the music he’ll make as he matures!
This is a FASCINATING take on Jolene, clearly informed by Nas' range and experience. The tone feels almost akin to a small town gay man losing the only bi man in town to a girl because it's "easier this way, no matter how much I love you", at least, that's the way the defeat and resignation in his voice as he sings "please don't take him just because you can" reads to me. Gotta say, enjoyed this a great deal more than I was expecting, Jolene is a tough song to cover given Dolly set the bar so high!
Dolly Parton is clapping and crying happy tears right now, i guarantee it. Why? Because she LOVES when people take her music and make it their own and she doesn't have a hateful bone in her body! This was gorgeous to watch and hear.
This works on so many levels , it's not even funny. You see a guy who is so desperate to save his relationship with his man that he reaches out to the threat to that can ruin it, begging her to leave them alone because it's pretty much all that he has and doesn't know what else to do. Such a powerful rendition of this song. I love it.
When he sings like this, it feels like he's lived a thousand years. How is someone so young this adept at tapping in to deep mysteries of the human experience? Even that "silly" horse song got right to the mysterious, lonely, toxic-but-addictive darkness that still fills the rural west...
Being Black, gay, and from Atlanta will do it. Music is escapism. A form of survival. A release. So proud of LNX.. he represents humans like me so SO well.
While I can not talk for him. For me it was from hiding myself and pretending to be the good son. Between the many faces and loosing people early on in life. I learned how wisdom comes.
I come from a very conservative country where it's all too common for loving gay couples to break apart because one dude's parents forced him to marry a woman. You can't compare this to Dolly's version, but hearing Nas -- a gay man -- begging a woman not to take away the only love he'll ever know just hits too close to home.
I loved hearing his gentle southern twang. My new favorite. Now I want him and Dua Lipa to do something awesome bc she has those sinuous sensual moves and an incredible charisma singing with others. She is not a fabulous singer or dancer but she can GIT IT. With LNX, that would be a combustible combo. Just a thought bubble...
I've always wanted a male cover of Jolene, one that I could sing along to! This exceeds all my expectations, he not only granted my wish but put a new spin on it! 😍
My takeaway: It's definitely what I'd deem a transformative cover. ignoring the obvious context shift toward reimagining the narrative as a bisexual interracial love triangle. (That's relevant and interesting, but also the low hanging fruit) Dolly's original version is so heavily vocally driven that the music is almost an afterthought. His lower register and slightly slower tempo, electric guitars that would be perfectly at home with Nancy Sinatra's rendition of Bang Bang and the heavier emphasis on the percussion all work to deliver a completely different emotional tenor. Dolly gave us a narrative of burning desperation. Scrambling to salvage the relationship. LNX gives us the empty ache of a despair already beyond salvation, already knowing that the damage is done and there's no going back.
@@rickderby2212 every time I listen to it I keep coming back to the guitar. It reminded me of *something* and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't immediately place it. After about 10 or so times it finally clicked. Of course going back and listening to Bang Bang again (I kind of had to at this point) there's a lot more distortion than I initially recalled, but yeah, this does have the same sort of haunting, wandering tone as BB.
You are so spot on about the Nancy Sinatra Bang Bang guitars. And this: "LNX gives us the empty ache of a despair already beyond salvation, already knowing that the damage is done and there's no going back." Damn.
You ever just realize, a hundred years from now they'll be talking about how instrumental this man was to the early-mid 21st century music scene and pop culture
Listen, im southern (i like all genres of music ) and Dolly is our Queen lol…everyone around here loved him when he had the song with BRC…then they hated him…this tho…his voice is haunting and he doesnt have to sing songs just to win over country music fans (he doesnt owe anyone anything)….but I LOVE his rendition of this song and i am certain she loves it and is flattered. Keep being you friend, express yourself however you see fit…but you slayed this song. Much love from Kentucky..
@@sersastark people just throwing words out here like they don't mean anything anymore. Theres nothing haunting about this, want haunting country? Reba- lights when out in Georgia. That's an actual voice singing the whole time with a story to follow along to. In a genre that needs a good voice with a story youre over crediting him- backed by some type of vocoder/autotune under to blend that to me isnt done right. I'm not hating on nasx because if who he is, it just sounds like a hiphop version of country- but they ripping off like top 40 country- not like actual Glenn Campbell or conway twitty type shit.
I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of him. I’m more a 90’s alternative fan, but damn this guy has a smooth voice. Dolly Parton was always one of the few country artists I could listen to, and she’s flattered by his cover, so I had to listen to it. I’m gonna see if it’s on iTunes.
You may enjoy this cover of Lil Nas X's "Montero" done in the style of a 90's pop punk song then: ua-cam.com/video/W132pqx1nno/v-deo.html --- Lil Nas X - He covers songs, and his songs get covered. :D
You should be a fan of every era of all music. It's just sitting out there waiting to be discovered. There's gonna be some that hits ya like the lighting bolt.
Absolutely right. . My tastes in music have expanded hugely over the years, but 90’s alt is still my favorite. Believe me, if you saw my playlist you’d think I’m bipolar. Country, bluegrass, rock, rap, classical, folk, pop, swing, jazz etc. It’s all there. If it sounds good to me, I’m there. Lots of my friends stopped liking new music at some point, but I haven’t hit that wall
@@SV-yw6wk actually lol no. There is no autotune you would see the part of it on his mic right next to his mic. It's not there. And there are no vocal affects either. His voice isn't fully developed and he clearly makes mistakes in this but he sings it well anyways.
✝️ *LORD JESUS DIED & ROSE AGAIN TO PAY THE DEBT OF UR SIN!* ✅By Faith in the sacrifice God has made are we saved from the penalty of sin! 🔵Turn from your sin that leads to death & accept His Gift that leads to eternal Life! 💜We are all sinners that need God. No one can say they are perfect to be able to pay their debt of sin. This is why only God could pay the penalty for us, that is merciful Love!
I don’t want to take anything away from rap because he is such a great rapper, but he should really consider going more into rock and country, his voice is so beautiful and powerful here.
it's the smooth, understated delivery and impeccable control that's getting my attention - i really love how he basically stuck with the original arrangement instead of getting all whitney-houston-tonsil-gymastics all over it.
I actually love the shit out of this. This is one of my favorite ever songs! And Dolly giving her stamp of approval and him losing his shit over that is just really awesome and makes me smile.
My recently departed partner of 25 years lived with this name her entire life and had a complex relationship with the song. Listening to this cover now makes me miss her even more because I wish I could share it, but it came 5 months too late.
I was skeptical about this guy - Old Town Road had ONE HIT WONDER written on it in 50 foot high flashing letters - but this seals the deal that those first impressions may have been totally wrong.
Agreed. I was worried because it was so popular, and he was so young, and yeah, "one hit wonder" all over it. But "Montero" squashed those fears under its foot, thank goodness.
He’s incredibly talented, he’s one of the few mainstream people who actually writes his own lyrics AND is just really good at singing and rapping and doesn’t rely on talking about disgusting stuff or drugs and money for his material. But since he’s openly gay and likes to acknowledge that in his music and as a part of his personality, people will shit all over him

MTV needs to bring back MTV unplugged. It was the same thing as this
Right? Every time someone performs here I know it’s gonna be amazing
The moments when he looks into the camera mentioning how he can't compete with her, omg. He really put himself in the song
Yeah, this guy has lived this
Because he doesn't have a vagina.
@@TheHyde8875 then how'd he get pregnant?

You know, between resurrecting Billy Ray Cyrus's career and this, Lil Nas X is a surprisingly dignified country musician in a very undignified era of country music.
You're very right! As a fan of classic country, it's really folks like him + the indie/alt-country scene that are producing the real stuff, not the Nashville establishment.
@Not Thatname You could say a lot of things about his rap career, but I think that's fair to say about his forays into country music.
Country musician? Making one song in a country style doesn't make you country... He's a rapper and a bad one at that.
@@MrMinima86 there’s no need to get worked up and defensive, it’s fine if you didn’t like the song. Just don’t be so rude please?
@@MrMinima86 What about two songs? This is not his first.
His talent scares me sometime, there's no stopping this man
Lil Nas X has genuinely come so far in such a short amount of time. Montero is by far my favorite album this year - and that says a lot. Very proud of what he has accomplished and even what he has done behind the scenes. Cant wait to see what the future holds.

Yeah
100% I agree. Definitely best album of 2021 in my opinion.

It's his sincerity. Even though it's catchy as hell, his music is also unapologetically raw. He has so much talent and presence, and I'm always so stoked to see what he does next.
And also, he's being controversial, honest, risk-taking and authentic, and still succeeding, and that is the best part of it all. His fearlessness makes me want to support him any way I can.
(Also, this cover slaaaayyyss.)
He is such a well-rounded artist and I cannot get enough.

I will never judge an artist by their stage name ever again. What a multitalented, thoroughly versatile performer and legit musician he turned out to be.
You clearly havent heard or seen greta van fleet. Look up heat above live.
Luke May, I did the same, judged him by his stage name without ever having heard him. I was thoroughly shocked, and fully agree with what you said. He is a legit musician, and everything you said about him. Thank you, BBC Radio.

Absolutely! 😍
ua-cam.com/video/KusJPhptgTg/v-deo.html
I love how without changing a single word the song takes on a whole new meaning. In the original it feels like the antagonist is Jolene trying to take her man but here I feel like it's "the man" taking both Jolene and the singer for a ride, probably seeing dudes behind Jolene's back but not having the courage to come out and make a commitment.
Bro I think that’s just biphobia
@user-qv2qf1jk5o ??? No one said anything about how being bi is wrong (it's not) or about how the singer is or is not bi. The implication from the song is that the singer's gay
The unnamed "guy" can be a morally grey character, seeing others behind Jolene's back, without that having anything to do with someone being "biphobic". I am really not sure what you're talking about
He starts by collabing with Billy Ray, then moves on to his daughter Miley, then goes on to cover her godmother’s song. This man’s out here playing 6 Degrees of Kevin Bacon through the whole music industry with killer songs!
That sounds like 6 degrees of Dolly Parton. Which honestly is legit.
*Godmother!
That made me giggle. It's definitely 6 degrees Kevin Bacon kind of thing.
Dolly is Miley’s godmother?? Lucky lol
So many people can’t even see how inspirational he is and how much he changed the game with incorporating country and winning so flawlessly at it…because they can’t see past his outward pride in who he is as a person and his sexuality
Sheesh. He sang this like he already knew his man was lost to Jolene.
That is the story line...begging/pleading "Jolene" to walk away. Lil Nas X's conversation sounds more masculine...explanatory and reasoning.
OKAY NOW PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY SO I CAN LISTEN TO IT ALWAYS

I have to say this is excellent, it’s feels like he’s fighting a losing battle
A losing battle?
@@tammytaylor632 a losing battle with Jolene
@@tammytaylor632 The person he is in love with is in love with Jolene. She is the one he is losing to, but he is still fighting
Yes. At some point you just know it, but it's already too late. All you can do is try to sing it out. Well said Wolf.
I know he has like the perfect voice for this kind of music
I think this is brilliant. He sings it with such melancholy and it hits so deep
Outstanding. And Dolly's response to it is classically wholesome.
Dolly is why I'm here... She lifts up!
Yes, wasn't that cool of her?
@@karenlyon2747
Dolly Parton fucking rules.
Dolly is the absolute best.
This Brother is changing the game. He is more talented than Michael Jackson. Watch out folks he is here to stay,!!
Like, how did he add a different color to this classic? The version I never knew I needed. I can’t wait to hear what Dolly has to say.
An article lead me to this. It says she's already a fan of his. I bet she'd love it.
Lower register, slower tempo, low volume on the back up singers. Heavy percussion and some smooth guitar work. As much as I love the original. The music is an afterthought. It's so strongly vocal forward that she could sing it a capella and no one would notice. This version brings out a whole different vibe because it's been reworked to be a more balanced track.
ua-cam.com/video/_HRPaRSpkZs/v-deo.html
Need this the full version on Spotify , apple music and every damn music platform
SAME❤️
Yessss
💯
Full version?
ua-cam.com/video/KusJPhptgTg/v-deo.html
This gave me the shivers my lord the talent of this man!
And now I want a duet.
It's really really really wonderful rendition.
And on a shallower note, love the earrings/necklace combo.
Of course, that wouldn't be possible.
The cover sounds nice, but don't forget that this isn't Lil Nas's voice what you hear. He only does the articulation, the rest is fully autotuned and lowered. Have you actually heard his voice before?
His understated delivery is absolutely stunning, heartbreaking, and mesmerizing. I love him more with every song he puts out. He defies stereotypes and I'm here for it!
Were we watching the same video? I couldn’t stop yawning.
@e- w- Bwahahahahahahaha! (Mic Drop)
It’s monotonous and boring
@e- w- LOLOLOLOL 😅
He's always able to surprise his audience. Great song as well as his interpretation. As many said before one can feel it. Love his performance.
The fact that he has butterflies everywhere as an homage to Queen Dolly is awesome. The more I see of this young man, the more I love him. Be you, My Love.
I think this is a really nice stripped-down version of the song. It doesn't have the soaring desperation that a more conventional cover may have, but there is a kind of quiet sadness to it that's beautiful.
ua-cam.com/video/KusJPhptgTg/v-deo.html
well said.
Not soaring desperation, no. But the quiet, resigned, sadness and desperation he sings it with are...heartrending.
Yes! You nailed it! "Quiet sadness" 😢
This version to me sounds like how a cry for mercy in overwhelming defeat feels.
It shows why Lil Nas X will not be just a passing star. That guy has soul. Great cover! ❤️
I've listened to every version of this song I can get my hands on. There is just something so plaintive and heartbroken about the lyrics that they require revisiting, and he did such a great job of communicating those feelings while adding his own style.
Lil Nas X showing his versatility right here.
his talent will always captivate you.
Okay
He's a bottom though
Phrasing.
@@CarotideEtude as is Dolly, I would guess.
His voice is so deep and rich its really nice to listen to!
Hard agree!
Like honey and gold
It's rich and thick like peanut butter when he's singin. His rapping is different and just as golden as his singin just don't know how to word how it sounds
Wish we had more deep voice singers
His voice is suave... like silk, smooth and soothing.
I can see a whole story via his way of storytelling… Nas’s character is in love with a bisexual guy and Jolene brought out all the insecurities he got in his relationship. I love this version so much.
this is ArT.
ua-cam.com/video/_HRPaRSpkZs/v-deo.html
I absolutely love your interpretation on his version of the song
I love that you said that it was insecurities, that’s what a lot of us are struggling with even if our partner is loyal..
@Cletus I'm bisexual 👁👄👁
You know music is done right when it makes you feel something, and this guy sings it like he means it (great voice too). I think Dolly would love this cover.
She does! She publicly praised it.
She did shouted him out on Instagram
This is incredible, I can see glimpses of the man he’ll be when he’s older here, it’s exciting to think of the versatility of all the music he’ll make as he matures!
Yeah
My sister tried singing that's what I want
ua-cam.com/video/uWx6acgtP0I/v-deo.html
Please don't jinx it. He's not even 27 yet.
I mean there are pretty chill pop romance songs on his current album lol. He doesn't pull punches
ua-cam.com/video/KusJPhptgTg/v-deo.html
This is a FASCINATING take on Jolene, clearly informed by Nas' range and experience. The tone feels almost akin to a small town gay man losing the only bi man in town to a girl because it's "easier this way, no matter how much I love you", at least, that's the way the defeat and resignation in his voice as he sings "please don't take him just because you can" reads to me. Gotta say, enjoyed this a great deal more than I was expecting, Jolene is a tough song to cover given Dolly set the bar so high!
"it's just a headline, it can't emotionally destroy you"
the headline: small town gay man loses only bi man in town to girl
I am sobbing
I got that exact same feeling. Oof.
Straight female here who also got this vibe. I like it.
@@juliehernandez80 I like it too. I hope he puts this in his next album and have a music video for it too.
This cover is beautiful. The slowed down arrangement suits his voice so well. Also his tone is beautiful
ua-cam.com/video/GgFGYOg4HDs/v-deo.html
Love this young man. He constantly keeps getting better and better . what an amazing talent !
Dolly Parton is clapping and crying happy tears right now, i guarantee it. Why? Because she LOVES when people take her music and make it their own and she doesn't have a hateful bone in her body! This was gorgeous to watch and hear.
She actually said a few months ago she wanted someone to cover Jolene. She spoke it into existence he killed and made it his own.
😆 Dolly didn't love it. She said it was really good. 😝😂
She loved it ❤️
Hands down this man has the voice that is perfect for country music. Dolly is my queen always but he def did this song a lot of justice!!!
One minute he's eating out Satan the next he's singing in a smoky back roads honky tonk. He definitely keeps my attention. That's for sure.
When did he eat out satan 😂
Not eating out Satan 😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂
I thought satan was eating him out 😭
Satan licked him so good he became a hilly billy
I LOVE this rendition. Absolutely the best of the best.
This works on so many levels , it's not even funny. You see a guy who is so desperate to save his relationship with his man that he reaches out to the threat to that can ruin it, begging her to leave them alone because it's pretty much all that he has and doesn't know what else to do. Such a powerful rendition of this song. I love it.
Stage presence: THERE
Tonality: LEGIT
All I could think was, “Jolene please don’t take his man!” 😂
Me too🤣🤣🤣 Like, Bish give him back🤦🤦🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😭
I honestly was like I won't. I would never trouble his man. To all Jolene's we will leave LNX's man alone!!!
This is actually a beautiful rendition. The way he stares at the camera in the beginning and mouths Jole-e-ene.
When he sings like this, it feels like he's lived a thousand years. How is someone so young this adept at tapping in to deep mysteries of the human experience? Even that "silly" horse song got right to the mysterious, lonely, toxic-but-addictive darkness that still fills the rural west...
I just started feeling mature and grown at 30. I don't get it either.
Wtf
Being Black, gay, and from Atlanta will do it. Music is escapism. A form of survival. A release. So proud of LNX.. he represents humans like me so SO well.
While I can not talk for him. For me it was from hiding myself and pretending to be the good son. Between the many faces and loosing people early on in life. I learned how wisdom comes.
You nailed that. And you write pretty well yourself my friend:)
I come from a very conservative country where it's all too common for loving gay couples to break apart because one dude's parents forced him to marry a woman.
You can't compare this to Dolly's version, but hearing Nas -- a gay man -- begging a woman not to take away the only love he'll ever know just hits too close to home.
I didn't think about it like that. Thanks for the perspective
Awww no really tho!! 😩
Where are you from? Because I am from a similar country as well
huh?
Welp, the gay man will never love the woman in a forced marriage.
This is hauntingly beautiful. This man really appreciates great country music.
I loved hearing his gentle southern twang. My new favorite. Now I want him and Dua Lipa to do something awesome bc she has those sinuous sensual moves and an incredible charisma singing with others. She is not a fabulous singer or dancer but she can GIT IT. With LNX, that would be a combustible combo. Just a thought bubble...
I have no idea who this young man is but he floored me with his rendition of Jolene! Such a soulful voice...

@@christinah4018 perfection
@@christinah4018 that is the guy from the white stripes
My takeaway: It's definitely what I'd deem a transformative cover. ignoring the obvious context shift toward reimagining the narrative as a bisexual interracial love triangle. (That's relevant and interesting, but also the low hanging fruit)
Dolly's original version is so heavily vocally driven that the music is almost an afterthought. His lower register and slightly slower tempo, electric guitars that would be perfectly at home with Nancy Sinatra's rendition of Bang Bang and the heavier emphasis on the percussion all work to deliver a completely different emotional tenor. Dolly gave us a narrative of burning desperation. Scrambling to salvage the relationship. LNX gives us the empty ache of a despair already beyond salvation, already knowing that the damage is done and there's no going back.
The fact you used Nancy Sinatra's Bang Bang as a comparison. I'm very impressed!
@@rickderby2212 every time I listen to it I keep coming back to the guitar. It reminded me of *something* and it was driving me crazy that I couldn't immediately place it. After about 10 or so times it finally clicked. Of course going back and listening to Bang Bang again (I kind of had to at this point) there's a lot more distortion than I initially recalled, but yeah, this does have the same sort of haunting, wandering tone as BB.
ua-cam.com/video/_HRPaRSpkZs/v-deo.html
Great review...!!! 👍
You are so spot on about the Nancy Sinatra Bang Bang guitars. And this: "LNX gives us the empty ache of a despair already beyond salvation, already knowing that the damage is done and there's no going back." Damn.
You ever just realize, a hundred years from now they'll be talking about how instrumental this man was to the early-mid 21st century music scene and pop culture
And country music and rap music and etc
The way he closes his eyes while saying jolene for the last time is so touching
His version is like water and fire in the same time! I don't know how to explain. Just speechless
Yeah its beautifully raspy but smooth at the same time. Incredibly difficult to do!
ua-cam.com/video/KusJPhptgTg/v-deo.html

This dude will always keep everyone guessing, refreshing to have someone who can flip everything you’ve ever thought about the industry on its ear
This cover is amazing. His voice is gold 🎉
Listen, im southern (i like all genres of music ) and Dolly is our Queen lol…everyone around here loved him when he had the song with BRC…then they hated him…this tho…his voice is haunting and he doesnt have to sing songs just to win over country music fans (he doesnt owe anyone anything)….but I LOVE his rendition of this song and i am certain she loves it and is flattered. Keep being you friend, express yourself however you see fit…but you slayed this song. Much love from Kentucky..
She posted on her IG that she absolutely LOVES what he did with this song and is proud that he was able to make it his own.
you know you won when you have kentucky on your side
omg i’m from Kentucky and i absolutely love him! my classmates like him to an extent, but i think this might win them over!!
@@sersastark people just throwing words out here like they don't mean anything anymore. Theres nothing haunting about this, want haunting country? Reba- lights when out in Georgia. That's an actual voice singing the whole time with a story to follow along to. In a genre that needs a good voice with a story youre over crediting him- backed by some type of vocoder/autotune under to blend that to me isnt done right. I'm not hating on nasx because if who he is, it just sounds like a hiphop version of country- but they ripping off like top 40 country- not like actual Glenn Campbell or conway twitty type shit.
1:38 IM REALLY SCARED RIGHT NOW
I’ll be honest, I’d never heard of him. I’m more a 90’s alternative fan, but damn this guy has a smooth voice. Dolly Parton was always one of the few country artists I could listen to, and she’s flattered by his cover, so I had to listen to it. I’m gonna see if it’s on iTunes.
You may enjoy this cover of Lil Nas X's "Montero" done in the style of a 90's pop punk song then: ua-cam.com/video/W132pqx1nno/v-deo.html --- Lil Nas X - He covers songs, and his songs get covered. :D
Thanks! I’ll listen to it now
You should be a fan of every era of all music. It's just sitting out there waiting to be discovered. There's gonna be some that hits ya like the lighting bolt.
Absolutely right. . My tastes in music have expanded hugely over the years, but 90’s alt is still my favorite. Believe me, if you saw my playlist you’d think I’m bipolar. Country, bluegrass, rock, rap, classical, folk, pop, swing, jazz etc. It’s all there. If it sounds good to me, I’m there. Lots of my friends stopped liking new music at some point, but I haven’t hit that wall

I don’t want to take anything away from rap because he is such a great rapper, but he should really consider going more into rock and country, his voice is so beautiful and powerful here.
It is clear that he has worked on his vocals. He is much better than what he used to be.
it's the smooth, understated delivery and impeccable control that's getting my attention - i really love how he basically stuck with the original arrangement instead of getting all whitney-houston-tonsil-gymastics all over it.
He said he is an all genre artist
he performs everything tho like Miley

ua-cam.com/video/_HRPaRSpkZs/v-deo.html
I was skeptical about this guy - Old Town Road had ONE HIT WONDER written on it in 50 foot high flashing letters - but this seals the deal that those first impressions may have been totally wrong.
Agreed. I was worried because it was so popular, and he was so young, and yeah, "one hit wonder" all over it. But "Montero" squashed those fears under its foot, thank goodness.
i wasnt ever. i knew he was a star and i instantly followed him . im so proud of him now
Doesn't matter what your sexuality is, you can't deny Lil Nas X has a good voice
He’s incredibly talented, he’s one of the few mainstream people who actually writes his own lyrics AND is just really good at singing and rapping and doesn’t rely on talking about disgusting stuff or drugs and money for his material. But since he’s openly gay and likes to acknowledge that in his music and as a part of his personality, people will shit all over him
