Am I allowed to say that I love Dolly Parton??? |

Probably not and I am sure this will be locked, but I do love her! She is a good singer and honestly, just a down to earth, real woman! I grew up with season
tickets to Dollywood, her theme park, and it was fun! But what really impressed me is this: In her home town there are a TON of people who work for
Dollywood. She saw that many of them just worked during the summer at her amusement park and were laid off during the winter, so she found a way to make sure
her park was open year round and people could keep their job all year! On top of that, in her area there was a HUGE high school drop out rate, so she started
a program where kids were paired with another kid in kindergarten and if both kids graduated, they each got $50 (a good chunk of change for a HS
student...especially in that area).

Dolly owns. She's the best talk show guest ever, and at least she's self aware with her sleazy appearance. Some classic quotes about it:
"I'm not offended by all the dumb blonde jokes because I know I'm not dumb. And I also know I'm not blonde." "It's a good thing I was born a girl. Otherwise I'd be a drag queen." "You'd be surprised how much it costs to look this cheap!" <3 <3 <3 |

She definitely rivals Lulu in terms of awesomeness as a mentor. <3
I personally disliked a lot of the song choices tonight, it could have been AMAZING if they chose some of her greater songs. |

I am in awe of her songwriting skills. Sure her singing is terrific; but her songs are some of the best ever written.

My friend and I met her at a restaurant a few years ago, and she is just the friendliest, funniest, nicest person you could ever meet. Everything she is on tv
is the real her. Nothing phony like she says except the way she dresses up. It was a real honor to meet her, she did photos with us, etc.

Three thousand songs to her credit - how could you not be impressed! I thought this was the best week of AI7 so far, and I agree with whoever said it was
because her songs have such great melodies/hooks. (Was that Pauler?)

I personally thought this was one of American Idol's best nights ever. All terrific songs, mostly great performances.

I enjoyed the show tonight- I was expecting a boring show since I don't know her songs but it wasn't a bad show

I am too young to know her music and a lot about her career, but after tonight, I am completely in love with the person that is Dolly Parton. She really is a
sweet, but honest, person, and she looks DAMN good for her age.

Awww...so glad to know that other people love Dolly and thought tonight was great! I was afraid it was just me and my East Tennessee roots...and the vodka of
course!

Horrible artist choice tonight.
Nobody actively listens to Dolly Parton. |

This show is not worthy of someone as talented as Dolly Parton .
That is all |

I like her personality and a lot of her lyrics but I just don't like cuntry music otherwise I'm sure I'd be obsessed with her.

I love the woman. She just makes you smile. And she's a helluva songwriter.
I realized tonight I've never seen Best Little Whorehouse. I'll have to rent it this weekend. |

SI, it was on cable the other night. I hadn't seen it for so long. You'll love it! I love those quotes Naj posted above...she never ever takes herself
seriously. I've never heard one bad story about her in all the years she's been in the public eye.
