Miranda does, the house that built me, white liar, the band perry if I die young, sugarland baby girl, toby my list, trace just fishin', Montgomery gentry speed, daddy won't sell the farm, she don't ask me to, shall I go on.
This was the first version of Jolene I ever heard so it holds a special place, and is my favorite. Similar to Alien Ant Farm covering Smooth Criminal. I'd never heard MJ's original before I heard their version so it's my preferred cuz that's how I heard it first ya know?
This shared video seems to be missing Dolly's harmony vocals, which are simply beautiful with Mindy's voice. Best version of the song ever, imho, including Dolly's own. Mindy lends an air of hurt and frustration and simmering anger that Dolly's doesn't (and M.Cyrus's doesn't come close to even touching on), and Mindy's face in the video as she confronts them gives you a feeling of triumph mixed with deep pain... and the feeling that she's not sure he'll come back or that she should take him back.
Very strong performance. Creative production. Excellent. Five stars. Bravo. Heard this circa 2002 when i was heavily into neko case and such. Still am. 2019 There's a lot of 18 wheelers called "Jolene"
Ok, this is weird. There was another comment that said "Heard circa 2002 when i was heavily into neko case and such. Still am. 2019," from 2 years ago from a person called J Lansdale. Did you copy paste? Just a question cuz I doubt you are the same person. I know this is totally off topic but whatever.
I just listened to cams song about diane . it wasAWESOME, . anyway i would say that dolly parton is impossible to surpass. so she is a national treasure. i know. been there and i know what foothills are and crankup wells and an outhouse. im a coalminers grandson. mindy smith does an amazing voice on this song. all do respect i love it. but dollye friend ate cut worms, all good .i love yall .be carefull
This version is sad because Mindy is telling her story ( on audience) on how Jolene gets her man. Dolly's version is like she's speaking directly to Jolene and begging not to get her man.
Dolly’s is angry. It’s like “don’t take my man or we’re gonna fight for him.” Mindy’s is more of an actual plea. She’s absolutely heartbroken bc she knows she cant compete.
Dolly's version, being hers, broke my heart. I still cry when I hear it every time. I had a Jolene in my life. She was named Becky, and she did take my man. :-(
Really? I think Jolene is far, far prettier. If it were me, Id probably tell the guy to go fuck himself, and ask Jolene out on a date. Im sure people just say that. the woman playing Jolene is amazingly gorgeous in every way. She has a gorgeous cupid's mouth, wide strong cheekbones and defined brows. Strawberry blond hair with pretty ringlets. Smooth pale skin. A swan's neck and perfect posture. She is likely a model, because the camera loves her.
Jolene is a very honest song, straight from the heart: basically what pop music is all about. Recruitment is now an office job, or worse, given to AI, and this kind of talent isn't something that can be identified on a resume: unfortunately the industry isn't really recruiting it, even when it's out there.
Her husband, according to what I have read. Its based on two real experiences. A bank teller, and a pretty little girl( completely innocent and uninvolved in any other way other then having a name that Dolly thought would sound good in a song.).
That woman they cast as Jolene is pure fire. Id probably just pack his bags at that point. Of course, Id probably pack his bags anyhow, no matter what "Jolene" looked like. But tall, slender girl like that are very fortunate.
@@thatgirlwhousedtohavereall5549 NOTHING is "everything". Beauty is a gift, like good singing voice, but better. I can tell you one thing, you have very little charm, and I rather doubt you have a whole lot in the looks department. Im enjoying looking at this woman, and I don't need your approval.
What the hell, your gunna cheat on her with some soulless ginger? Man, you are crazy. Great video by the way I'm still waiting for Dolly to come in. ;-; Dolly?
@@shalynnamber Jeez, some people can't take a joke. 🙄 Plus I don't have those problems, if he or she wants to leave me for someone with red hair, go ahead. But I've never had that problem before sooo. You'll have to indulge me on how you lost your boyfriends to someone with glasses? 😊
Dolly is shown writing the song, years later. And Mindy is the younger Dolly as she experienced her interaction with the insanely drop dead red head in her younger years.
Dolly in this video is kinda like the narrator in a tale, you see her writing the story in a book, and the video would be like a glimpse into her thought process... well done.
I'd say calling this "feat. Dolly Parton" is something of a half-truth. It's like saying Tribute by Tenacious D "features" Dave Grohl, since he plays the devil in the video.
I would never need to worry about my husband leaving me for another woman. One time, another woman was attracted to him and attempted to grope him, he physically grabbed her arms and restrained her.
Who the hell would want a loser guy like that anyway after all that? It isn't like Jolene is giving him "back", if he wants to cheat and be with someone else, by all means asshole. Go ahead. She deserved better anyways. I hate how Everything is all about looks.
I personally don't like this version, esp. in comparison to Dolly Parton. This sounds like a modern-day pop cover of a popular country song, NOT like the soulful and emotional pleading heard in the original. This sounds like any other acoustic-pop song with nothing special or interesting about it. The original is not only vocally and musically more interesting, but also emotionally. Not to say that Mindy can't sing or isn't talented, etc., but she doesn't sound like a woman begging another not to steal her man. -JP
Not taking anything away from Dolly or Miley's version, for me this is my favourite version of Jolene. So dark and atmospheric. Beautiful song.
Yes. Totally agree!
I think I have to agree. This is the first version of this song I ever heard, years ago, and I just loved it!
I think it's my favorite music video version of Jolene
Question, why can't someone, anyone write a song this good in country music today?
Miranda does, the house that built me, white liar, the band perry if I die young, sugarland baby girl, toby my list, trace just fishin', Montgomery gentry speed, daddy won't sell the farm, she don't ask me to, shall I go on.
If people could move past singing about their angst & bonfires, that would be a good start.
If I die young is better!
It's because the writer of this song 'Dolly Parton' is just so AWESOME ! =)
JAMES MOORE bro “the fine line” Montgomery gentry
This is what I would imagine angels to sound like.
This was the first version of Jolene I ever heard so it holds a special place, and is my favorite. Similar to Alien Ant Farm covering Smooth Criminal. I'd never heard MJ's original before I heard their version so it's my preferred cuz that's how I heard it first ya know?
The best version out there! If more country sounded like this, I may actually like it
2021 and i still love this song

The only cover of this song I love. That whole “just because I’m a woman” tribute album is amazing.
I remember this music when I was a little child and heard this on Napster music.
Dark, haunting and beautiful! 💛
AS IT should be.. this is incredible!!!! The darkness of lost love! WOW!
God such a good cover
Very strong performance. Creative production. Excellent. Five stars. Bravo.

I can't finish watching and listening to this right now I'm NOT trying to fall in love in life!!!!
Very strong performance. Creative production. Excellent. Five stars. Bravo.
My favorite version by far!
Freaking amazing
I really like it and the video adds to make it great .
I love country music and classic country
yayyy my name is Jolene!!!!
good for you! Just dont take my man
Take him it'll save me
Mine too
Ama Ginger ...ditto
I think it suits the song better, very melancholic, which is what the song is about, losing one’s love to another simply for their looks.
Love this song

Beautyful voice and a great video ,,,,dolly still looks great also,,,
I love you dolly
The one singing is much prettier than "Jolene" who in their right mind would cheat on her?
Just realized this comment is 7 years old and you’re probably not on this account anymore but don’t bring her down 🥺

OMG. Best of the best in my book ! 5*s

Muito bom
Like This Cover ,Nice Voice ,Nice Women
I love this video and song. Thanks so much for uploading it.
Awesome!

I was so happy to learn that Dolly didn’t base this on a real experience! Who the heck would cheat on Dolly Parton?
I thought she said it was some bank chick that kind of liked her husband.
But she did base it on a real experience.
It’s based on a real experience
The man's a fool to cheat on a beauty like Dolly.
Her husband, according to what I have read. Its based on two real experiences. A bank teller, and a pretty little girl( completely innocent and uninvolved in any other way other then having a name that Dolly thought would sound good in a song.).
No shade to Dolly (LOVE HER!!) but this is the only version that fits the lyrics.
love this song!

I think Dolly in the video at the end is Jolene.
There's a lot of 18 wheelers called "Jolene"
A lot of whiskey bottles too
Fantastic sweet song!
I enjoyed so much it

I wonder how she when she heard this song Dolly said she never saw her again after they fought 💯Even though she said she lost
I adore this version -- though the woman playing "Jolene" just cannot act.
A girl THAT beautiful can't compare to Jolene? Is Jolene some kind of Heavenly angel? lol
lol haha there's this girl in my school who steals everyone's man but her name is vivian
Great lyrics but you definitely need much more Dolly!
What the hell, your gunna cheat on her with some soulless ginger? Man, you are crazy. Great video by the way I'm still waiting for Dolly to come in. ;-; Dolly?
lmao
Listen to the album recording. Dolly does do guest vocals in that one.
Real classy, we're not soulless, u must have lost a lot boyfriends to redheads huh? If he was only into glasses .... to bad so sad 😥

@@shalynnamber That woman playing Jolene is drop dead gorgeous as are all of us red heads!
so who exactly is dolly parton supposed to be in this video?
an older jolene or the other girl?
Dolly is shown writing the song, years later. And Mindy is the younger Dolly as she experienced her interaction with the insanely drop dead red head in her younger years.
She wrote the song idiot, so obviously she is remembering when it happened in the video, and Mindy is acting it out.
What happened to her?
Sweeeeet
I want to meet jolene
I bet this "Jolene" is prettier.
What does Dolly Parton have to do with this?
+Ender Tamer (EnderTamer666) It was one of Dolly Parton's hits from 1974.
+Ender Tamer (EnderTamer666) Dolly wrote the song.

That's seriously ignorant.
my name is Jolene hehehe
I actually think that young Dolly is more attractive than Jolene.
Shes prettier than HOElene
She isn't.
@Phoenix2o1o why is that then ==}}..steve xx x
craaaaap
feat dolly parton? last time i check this was here her song..
She isn't singing it here, is she.
DO YOU EVAN KNOE HOW SHE IS
Change the name to Segrim’s
I'd say calling this "feat. Dolly Parton" is something of a half-truth.
It's like saying Tribute by Tenacious D "features" Dave Grohl, since he plays the devil in the video.
Dolly sings the backup vocals if you listen closely.
I would never need to worry about my husband leaving me for another woman.
One time, another woman was attracted to him and attempted to grope him, he physically grabbed her arms and restrained her.
Like dolly patrons version better
She did this better than dolly. Miley and Beyoncé. I keep telling people about Mindy smith.
Dolly Parton wrote the original song...
Really?

This man ain't shit give him to Jolene cut your loses while ur still young and beautiful
Who the hell would want a loser guy like that anyway after all that? It isn't like Jolene is giving him "back", if he wants to cheat and be with someone else, by all means asshole. Go ahead. She deserved better anyways. I hate how Everything is all about looks.
hmmmm
I think my boyfriend is cheating on me with his ex jolyn so...here I am
This is crap compared to the original and I almost never say that about covers.

You want to hear the pleading heart version … check out Jack Black aka White Stripes
No match for Dolly
