2. It's great!

First time I've heard it. Thanks for posting.

4. It's done well

I think the lyrics reflect these fighting times, and it's much less passive (the original was in the 70s, I think.)

That said, I prefer Lil Nas X's cover. He captured the emotions in an amazing way.

5. I like the power Beyonce's lyrics communicate.

But her voice can’t compare to Dolly’s. Not even close.

6. I am glad that Dolly is pleased.

Different taste for different people.

I would be sad if it was my song.

I don't like anything about it.

7. Nope.

Just nope.

8. My two cents

Nothing compares to the original. I don’t mind artist taking some creative license when covering other artist’s songs but, to me, this did not work.

Miley Cyrus does a really nice cover of “Jolene”.
For what it’s worth.
