Are we allowed to say that Dolly Parton sucked? |

Or will Jeebus crush us with his gravity?
Can I get a witness? Normally, I love Dolly, but her religious songs have always been annoying. This one was so revivalist, I was expecting baptisms. |

Who was that celeb in the audience who was giving her standing O. I keep trying to place her but I can't.

Lyrically, the song is solid, but damn if they don't need to stop these geriatrics from tarnishing their own legends.

I was greatly disappointed too. She should have chosen something a little softer, slower.

The worst thing about her performance was that it kept going on and on. It was terrible so i changed channels, but every time i flipped back she was still at
it, creaking about Jesus.
I think vocally she has been washed up since the late 80's. She's really more of an "entertainer" than a singer, like Bette Midler (who was also terrible last year). But yeah, dolly's a brilliant songwriter, and that is how she will best be remembered. And for her gigantic watermelons of course, which looked so hard and ridiculous last nite. Dolly, you've made it, you can pull out the implants now! |

Actually I saw her live a couple years ago and she was AMAZING and sounded better than ever. She was definitely off last night.

I fast fwd mostly because I just didn't care and wanted to see the results. I love Dolly, but I've never been a huge fan of much of her catalogue.
Doesn't mean I think her songs are bad, they just aren't my style. She is 62 after all, and noone sounds as good as they did 20 years earlier. Although
Gregoire saw her a couple years ago and said she was great...a couple friends also said they saw her a couple years ago and were pretty close and said she did
lip synch quite a bit.
Doesn't matter. The woman is a legend and is brilliant. No matter how bad she sounded on a show as cheesy as American Idol.

The woman is a legend and is brilliant. Agreeance. She could have pretty much come out on stage, taken a dump, had the dominant turd perform "This is My Now" and I would still think she's a goddess. |

I know this is a hate thread, but I actually fell in love with that song. And I don't even worship in Jeebus.

The whole show sucked! How can so many people scream and/or shout a Dolly Parton song?

Dolly is just getting old. I can't think of a single performer her ages whose vocals have really held up. I can think of a few that are far worse though.
I have to say that I loved everyone's renditions of her songs though. I wasn't really happy with the Beatles songs. Especially week 2. So I was
pleasantly surprised with what they did with the Dolly songs.

I love Dolly, but I don't care for having her religion shoved in my face.

I am a total atheist and while I don't enjoy Jesus songs Dolly hardly seems like one to shove it in peoples faces.

The first part I actually kinda liked the whole juxtaposition with Jesus and Gravity, but then suddenly it was all Jesus Jesus Jesus Jesus, and I felt the song then became overwhelmingly religous. So ok, she didn't shove it in my face, but it was too much for my taste. That's all. |
