Comments about Jolene:
Both versions are great, and it's a wonderful song. I do love the irony of hearing Jack White sing it....

The White Stripes are pretty good at covering, at least better than most of today's bands, and this song is no exeption. However, I still like the Dolly Parton version better, it's more swinging and less whiny.

I love both Dolly Parton's version and that of the "White Stripes". Yes, the White Stripes version has more 'umph' but what is he singing about?? Who is this Jolene that is going to take his guy and make him unhappy :-) ?!!

Natalie Merchant gets my vote.

The Mavis's a defunct electro pop/rock otufit from Australia used to cover Jolene a few years back before the Whtie Stripes did it, I dont thinkt hey ever recorded it, but it was awesome. I give this contest to Dolly, but would vote for the Mavis's if given the chance.

I am voting for Dolly, and I guess Jack White would do the same!

The White Stripes gave Dolly's song the passion and enthusiasm that it previously lacked. As for those friggin' homophobes who think it's weird that a guy would sing this, well it is obvious that they have completely missed the point of music--to fully and completely give a message life. Thank you, Jack White.

Olivia Newton John's version is better
