David A. - Smoky Mountain Memories
Well, its just my opinion but I find Smoky Mountain Memories a bit too slow and boring.
Syesha - I Will Always Love You
One of my favorites. I hope Syesha does Dolly's version and not Whitney's. She could pull it off if she takes her time and doesn't rush it.
Carly - Here You Come Again
Kind of a safe pick for Carly.
Kristy Lee Cook - Coat of Many Colors
I like this song and its probably a decent choice for her, but I wish she would have done Mule Skinner Blues. I think its a fun song and if she pulled it off would guarantee her several more weeks.
Ramiele - Do I Ever Cross Your Mind?
I cannot imagine Ramiele doing this song at all.
Michael Johns - It’s All Wrong, But It’s All Right
This is a great song and probably an excellent choice for Johns.
Jason Castro - Travelin Thru
This song was used in the movie Transamerica. Should be an ok pick for him.
Brooke White - Jolene
Another favorite of her early songs. I hope Brooke sings it as written and doesn't slow it down or remove the energy from the song. I hope she stays true to Dolly's version and NOT Mindi Smith's. I'm going to include another link here from one of Dolly's concerts where she sings Jolene, but before she sings she talks a bit and is pretty funny. Warning though, this link comes on LOUDER than blazes. But, she is so funny!
David Cook - Little Sparrow
This is a nice song, and I can't wait to see if David Cook is really sing this and if so how he does. This particular link is th ebest I could find for sound of Dolly singing this song, but the vid is a tribute to Gabrielle from Zena the Princess Warrior! lol
What a doll you are to post the tunes...I’m trying to listen really fast before the show.
