#2. I love Dolly, but 1970s rock rules imo.
Dolly has what I'd call a thin voice. She really cannot hit certain notes and wavers on others covering it with 'twang' of country. She's a package deal - the look, the boobs, etc. not an vocal artist per se. All respect to her, but her voice has always been a bit thin to my ears.

never liked Dolly's voice, the original Shania Twain. They both use a lot of tremolo because they can't hold pitch.
Neither can sing worth a damn and just use the looks to get by. Not that that's a bad thing in Shania's case! lol Just don't like her singing, but she is a fine looking woman!Yorkshireman I: Right!

dolly sings about as well as neil young. I love Neil Young, but he has a "distinctive" voice.
But to be fair, lots of people have failed who have great voices, it's just one part of the total package in regards to commercial success.Yorkshireman I: Right!

Never cared for country music, but just listening to the quality of Dolly's voice is what sets her apart from a lot of others. Granted, she never had all that great a range compared to some other singers in other genres, but she did--and maybe still does--have a purity and clarity of tone that not many others possess. Never great range, but with that kind of music, you don't really need great range.
As for Shania Twain, well, she hawt..."Don't call me Miss Kitty. Just...don't."--Catnip. Check out the Catnip Trilogy on Amazon.com

Dolly deserves a lot of credit as both an entertainer and song writer. Except for being promoted by an established star (Porter Wagoner) early in her career she has done things on her own terms.

Paula Cole's "Jolene"
Paula Cole's "Jolene" is my favorite because she does beatboxing in her version. Mindy Smith's version is a close second.

Never cared much for Dolly's voice, but I love her, um...personality. And, I really like the White Stripes. But him singing that song? Kinda creepy. So, I will go with Dolly.

Well.
The White Stripes version sounds more emotive, like the singer is in pain, so I find the music a little more expressive. However Dolly Parton's version has big knockers, so I'm going with Parton."Blessed be the Lord my rock, who trains my hands for war and my fingers for battle." - Psalm 144:1

Dolly is a great singer and songwriter. Jack is a great artist. Both have distinctive qualities, and both give the song a different "feel". BTW, it's a great song. If you want a real tearjerker, check out Dolly's "Coat of Many Colors":

I would argue with those who say that Dolly and Shania are not good singers, I think they are both very talented and good at what they do. And I do not, as a rule, enjoy country music...(rock and roll!)

Dolly all the way. But then again, I'm a season pass holder to Dollywood, so maybe I'm a little biased!
