Exactly. Anytime you hear Brandi doing a duet she is never trying to upstage or outperform the other person. I'm a die hard Dolly fan...and Brandi fan too. Love this performance
OK, we all know Dolly Parton is a national treasure, and I can't love her enough. There's a case to be made that Brandi Carlile is the next generation's national treasure.
Oh my sweet Jesus. This needs to be released as a single ASAP! Brandi has a way of taking the road less traveled with her harmonies and little detours from the melody. Her choices are always flawless and she has added a new level of poignancy to this beautiful classic.
Every Dolly video on UA-cam has comments along the lines of 'Well, she's lip syncing, obviously,' Well, let me tell you, she's not lip syncing here, she's in her mid 70s, and she's F**KING AWESOME!
Why Dolly sounds FANTASTIC here! Brandi is a vocal Goddess. She sings with unmatched purity/clarity. Her clarity reminds me of Karen Carpenter and KD Lang. Beautiful resonance, power and large range.
“Got anything to say...?” “Just that, I love you...” pretty much sums up everything! :-) (Humble love and respect, for an artist who’s a legend...it’s just a beautiful thing to behold)
When dolly pulled her in and held her you could just feel the emotion and my eyes WELLED up. It’s like when your mom or grandma knows you’re feeling emotional in the moment and she pulls you in for a hug and I felt that so much. 😭
The changing of the Guard Dolly finally found someone who could take her mantle.. Brandi Carlile sure can SANG. ....exceptional Dollys always ON Greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters
My mother passed away almost 18yo and she absolutely loved this song. So every time I hear it I stop. This rendition is so pretty and it is so well done here, gorgeous♥️ Love you mom♥️
Brandi sang harmony most of the song, with the exception of the second verse, but that’s what she was supposed to do. It’s dolly’s song so she sang the lead. People put too much emphasis on who sang the big note or which vocalist is better. This was a rehearsed collaboration and the did it perfectly imo! Brandi is in her prime and her vocals are as pure as the driven snow, but Dolly sounds AMAZING, her clarity, pitch, and volume for a woman in her late 70s is unbelievable!!
During the final chorus I love how Dolly is singing mostly to the audience but Brandi seems to have totally forgotten about the crowd and is singing the lyrics I will always love you directly to Dolly.
If you haven't already you need to check out Brandi singing "Angel" with Emmylou Harris. Even though Emmy's voice is faltering with age you will swear that 2 angels dropped down from heaven to serenade you.
Brandi's voice and Dolly's whispers, such great performance. Brandi is a hidden gem - so humble - listen to her song that she wrote, with Sam Smith, called Party of One, incredible
Wow, that's utterly amazing. Dolly has always worked on being a character, but it's easy to overlook her amazing vocal and writing talent. I would loved to have been there to hear this in person
Dolly Parton is without doubt one of Mother Earth's Illusive Angels. What a wonderful woman and human being, so generous, so kind, so supportive and definitely one of the sweetest humans walking the face of the earth. I would love to see her in concert though not a "country music" fan but do enjoy some of the music and would love to be a cowgirl.
This reminds me of my Mom and me if we could actually sing. My Mom dresses much like Dolly. And funny, I met Brandi in 2006 on an elevator when I was working for The Hollywood Reporter, she was going to Billboard to perform. Brandi gave me a CD. WOW I loved her music but never thought she would become a rockstar singing with Dolly. Awesome
Holy crap, this gave me the goosies, i felt the surge of emotion travel down my spine, and an involuntary tear fell down my cheek. I rarely get that sort of feeling in music any more. this was a brilliant duet!
BEAUTIFUL, HEAVENLY, .....MRS QUEEN, DOLLY PARTON...I ADORE YOU, and you just SHINE, SHINE, SHINE, DOLLY! Will you Please live FOREVER?? Well, I KNOW you KNOW JESUS CHRIST, HEAVENLY FATHER GOD ALMIGHTY, HOLY SPIRIT!! It's So OBVIOUS, Dolly. YOU LOVE Them ALL!! So in HEAVEN, I will STILL 'GET' to see you..... FOREVER!! LoL, Sorry, don't want to sound like 'Some PREACHER or PASTOR, or PRIEST, But I most definitely, CERTAINLY, BELONG to GOD😁🎚️💜. And as for BEAUTIFUL YOU, MRS QUEEN TOO, BRANDI CARLISLE (sp?), WOW. I can't WAIT to 'GET' to listen to your 'HEAVENLY' VOICE,'. Like an ANGEL,❤️🎚️😇 for Eternity TOO! It's like, BRANDI CARLISLE, WOW, AGAIN! WHERE Have YOU BEEN????? Well, MRS QUEEN TOO, BRANDI CARLISLE, you can BET I'm listening to EVERYTHING you GOT!🌺I heard you sing RIVER At The Kennedy center HONORING Joni Mitchell. You're SO AMAZING. Dang, I PRAY you (by a MIRACLE), might read my comment one day! I'm a "USED to be", Singer/Songwriter MYSELF....(oh. 'Michael Clay Myers IS my real full name),. Because of the "HALLOWEEN" Movies, I went by just MICHAEL CLAY. THAT stupid horror film has HONESTLY been a big HINDERANCE! REALLY! LoL. I Recorded Joni's RIVER too.. Okay, sorry so long!!! LOVE You BOTH!!🎚️💙❤️
Omg one of the most beautiful duets ever by two beautiful ladies inside and out. I was honestly surprised at how very great it was...a special moment. I want more!!!
Thank you, absolutely gorgeous! The clarity and unique qualities of Brandi Carlile and Dolly Parton's voices are in a league with few. I would add Linda Ronstadt, k.d. lang, and Karen Carpenter to that elite list.
All of the comments before me pretty much wrapped up what I was going to say. This is the duet I've been waiting for and now I can die happy. And Brandi ... so humble in the presence of greatness. Just the way that future performers will be humbled in her presence. Love her SO much. Sorry to keep blabbering on but, has anyone noticed that Brandi seems to elevate the performance of anyone she sings with? Not that Dolly needs elevating, I would NEVER say that, but I hope you'all know what I mean. 😔 Please forgive me if someone has already said something similar.
Any singer would be humbled if they were asked by Dolly to sing with her. You can see by the whole performance that Brandi was loving every moment, and when they finished she almost knelt in thanks. She knew she was in the presence of greatness. And she was humbled that Dolly respected her talent so much that she was allowed to share the stage. Dolly is not afraid to uplift anyone, she has the biggest heart.
Whitney Houston was/is a vocal POWERHOUSE, she was one of the greatest singers of all time. Everyone wants to sing it like she did. But I prefer the original Dolly song, it feels so intimate, personal, and endearing. I will always love Dolly and Whitney!
Both are National treasures❤️if you can’t feel this in your heart , you better check and see if you are human! Seriously beautiful, heartfelt and Heaven sent....
*I've adored Dolly for fifty-five years. THE SINGLE-MOST BEAUTIFUL, POIGNANT and TOUCHING HARMONY I EVER HEARD IN MY LIFE WAS THIS FINALE WITH DOLLY AND BRANDIE. IT SENDS DEEP CHILLS THAT CAUSE A WELLING OF TEARS OF ELATION, JOY AND LOVE like nothing I've ever heard before. To me, it is the epitome and essence of Dolly Parton's sweet heart and soul. You simply can't duplicate the synergy that was created on that stage that evening. What I wouldn't GIVE to have this song become a single.*
Holy shit! That was amazing! Chills! Goosebumps on top of goosebumps. Maybe even a tear. I'll never tell. Two amazingly talented women, giving an unbelievable performance of a classically beautiful song. Go Dolly! Go Brandi!👏👏👏👏👏
Dolly’s in her 70s and still one of the best female vocalists on the planet.
I am so impressed by Brandi’s respect for our legends, never upstaging them.
Me too..she just loves music and the talent.
Exactly. Anytime you hear Brandi doing a duet she is never trying to upstage or outperform the other person. I'm a die hard Dolly fan...and Brandi fan too. Love this performance
So so true!
Does she only perform with women? She is a lez.
Actually I think she does upstage them, she is amazing, love her voice.
OK, we all know Dolly Parton is a national treasure, and I can't love her enough. There's a case to be made that Brandi Carlile is the next generation's national treasure.
I just heard Dolly and Brandi sing together. I can go on living.
This song is beautiful and how these sand would be make you cry amazing
This song gave me goosebumps a pleasure to hear
Brandi has a wonderful sense of “moment”. Look what she did to assist Joni Mitchell’s return to public performance.
The only thing that comes to my mind when I see Brandi Carlisle is that she's a beautiful soul.
Oh my sweet Jesus. This needs to be released as a single ASAP! Brandi has a way of taking the road less traveled with her harmonies and little detours from the melody. Her choices are always flawless and she has added a new level of poignancy to this beautiful classic.
Well said..!!
It was a single years ago.
@@kayeandrews1865 yes i know. It has new life.
At least Brandi should put it as a track on her next album - or maybe the two of them should record an album together. It would be epic!
You’ve nailed it..well said...it’s her detours that we love...
Every Dolly video on UA-cam has comments along the lines of 'Well, she's lip syncing, obviously,' Well, let me tell you, she's not lip syncing here, she's in her mid 70s, and she's F**KING AWESOME!
There is no song that Brandi cannot enhance. We are privileged to live in the time of Brandi Carlile.
Wow I couldn’t said it better she’s amazing
And even more so to overlap with both of these absolute world treasures.
AMEN! 💕🌷💕
Facts!
Branding has a very unique and beautiful voice.
Brandi’s voice sounds like a cello ❤️
Why Dolly sounds FANTASTIC here! Brandi is a vocal Goddess. She sings with unmatched purity/clarity. Her clarity reminds me of Karen Carpenter and KD Lang. Beautiful resonance, power and large range.
Yeah, nobody will match Karen Carpenter.
And pink
i miss KD Lang. "all You Can Eat" was a monster album, divine.
She also has a touch of Bonnie Raitt. Fantastic voice.
@@Straydogger oh my God im 23 yo
And well thank you so much for that name or artist. Now im listening for the first time to Bonnie Raitt
2 of the most humble people you will ever see on stage.. ❤❤
The harmony between the two of them is incredible!
I swear to god Brandi could harmonize with a rooster crowing and make it sound like Elvis :)
Dolly Parton, an American treasure.
Brandi and Dolly....Wow!
“Got anything to say...?”
“Just that, I love you...”
pretty much sums up everything! :-)
(Humble love and respect, for an artist who’s a legend...it’s just a beautiful thing to behold)
@susan thomas
Oh Yeah... So Beautiful !!
Dolly' is still an incredible singer ... #legend
Brandi is also frikkin' amazing !! -- Agree #righteous
When dolly pulled her in and held her you could just feel the emotion and my eyes WELLED up. It’s like when your mom or grandma knows you’re feeling emotional in the moment and she pulls you in for a hug and I felt that so much. 😭
Omg! What did I just watch?! Pure magic!! Angels on earth! Thank you 🙏✨🙌🤩💫
The changing of the Guard
Dolly finally found someone who could take her mantle..
Brandi Carlile sure can SANG. ....exceptional
Dollys always ON
Greetings from Dublin Ireland brother and sisters
oh my gosh...i love dolly parton and these 2 singing together gives me chills. how beautiful!! music is the most important thing in life.
That was amazing, the little part where Brandi looks at Dolly and it looks like she's thinking OMG I'm singing with Dolly Parton...
I’m sorry?
@countrygirl countrymusiclover just wondering since you're a country music fan, which artists do make things amazing in your opinion?
@countrygirl countrymusiclover Do you ever just STFU?
Man, alive! Perfection.
You can tell Brandi is so overwhelmed in the moment...trying to keep it together. What an awesome duo. Magic!
My mother passed away almost 18yo and she absolutely loved this song. So every time I hear it I stop. This rendition is so pretty and it is so well done here, gorgeous♥️ Love you mom♥️
No version ever left me with this amount of goosebumps! Ever!
Same ! Dolly does it better than anyone. Period
OMG...just magnificent
Why am I crying at something so perfect ❤
Why am I CRYING?! This is so beautiful that it caught me by surprise, I guess....
The respect she gives Dolly, giving her the dominate notes shows the amazing woman Brandi truly is
I don’t think she gave Dolly the Dominant notes.
Brandi sang harmony most of the song, with the exception of the second verse, but that’s what she was supposed to do. It’s dolly’s song so she sang the lead. People put too much emphasis on who sang the big note or which vocalist is better. This was a rehearsed collaboration and the did it perfectly imo! Brandi is in her prime and her vocals are as pure as the driven snow, but Dolly sounds AMAZING, her clarity, pitch, and volume for a woman in her late 70s is unbelievable!!
Brandi's vibrato is just...❤
Positive sweetness. Does it get any better than this? I suspect Brandi will remember this for the rest of her life.
It's so good when young artists pay tribute to their heritage.
From the start, you can see how emotional Brandi is and what this moment meant to her. Now someone pass her a bottle of wine!
Yes she is beside herself one minute giddy with glee and the next fighting back tears trying to hold it together. What a beautiful duet.
Sandra Cooke ttwtwttyrtyiwrerytreqt
She just seems like the nicest respectful woman in the world
During the final chorus I love how Dolly is singing mostly to the audience but Brandi seems to have totally forgotten about the crowd and is singing the lyrics I will always love you directly to Dolly.
That my favorite song doll
Simply Wonderful, REAL singers here
Dolly is one of the most gracious women I've seen and listened to most of my life, all 60 years now. What a beautiful performance.
Brandi’s voice invariably makes me cry.
all those girls are so empowering
That’s just a freakin epic rendition of that song by a legend..and a legend in the making. She.has.arrived. Buckle up.
Oh how the magically and beautifully compliment each other. I have never seen Brandi so excited to perform with another artist. Just gorgeous.
If you haven't already you need to check out Brandi singing "Angel" with Emmylou Harris. Even though Emmy's voice is faltering with age you will swear that 2 angels dropped down from heaven to serenade you.
No matter who sings this song I always tear up.
Miss Dolly #1 Country Singer Ever! She just keeps going
🎶🌹🎶
I love whitney houston's cover, but something about the original always seems to get me in the heart. I'm not crying you're crying lol
I’m with you.
@@joelitu ,move over! This song always gets me!
Leaves the cover in the dust
houston's cover was fake
Try listening to Linda ronstat version
How do I go on from here? My tears will never stop❤️
Dolly shares her songs with everyone, Most kind loving human ever!
Brandi's voice and Dolly's whispers, such great performance. Brandi is a hidden gem - so humble - listen to her song that she wrote, with Sam Smith, called Party of One, incredible
wow, im surprised dollys voice still sounds so good at her age. brandi sounds fantastic too. great duet. very touching.

Yes there is something in her delivery that you just feel a heart breaking
Just beautiful.
Dolly is just awesome!
What a beautiful version. So live! What a jewel, really!
Why did this make me cry?!?!?! Beautiful!
If this gets released as a single, this song will go to #1 again.
The 11 people who gave a thumbs down have hearts of stone.
If you didn't get a chill up your spine from that performance… you just might be dead.
Genius - this is what true artists sound like live.
Perfect blend
