Finally, a musician with Horse Sense.

She's the Queen of Country and she'll be great when she decides to Rock 'N Roll.

Grace and class indeed.

You can’t help but love her!

BLM supporter ... no thanks ...

Great, and it was stupid to nominate her in the first place.

[Navy Patriot]

No, Dolly is deferring to Rockers, this was a cross genre nomination, a wonderful gesture, but Dolly wants to earn it.

Thanks, glad to see celebrity worship hasnt totally taken over.

This might be a controversial post but I do not think Dolly Parton's music is all that good. When I think of great female country singers, I think Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, the late Juice Newton, Linda Ronstadt, Emmylou Harris, Miranda Lambert, Patty Loveless, Rhonda Vincent, Tanya Tucker, Leanne Rimes, Wanda Jackson.

Dolly ranks way down there.

Dolly Parton has the moat annoying songs in a rather annoying voice. "9-5", "Islands in the Stream", "I Will Always Love You", "Hard Candy Christmas..."

"Jolene" was a good song but done better by Rhonda Vincent.

I'm sure Dolly is a great person but I am not a big fan of her music at all.

They only nominater her because of her biggest hits.

[llevrok]

Subtle and clever.

[Navy Patriot]

Not controversial, well thought out opinion.

I, too, love the Country Girls you listed, while pointing out Dolly is one heck of a business woman and has boosted the ENTIRE American Country Music Industry immensely.

No hate here.

Maybe now they can make room for Ted Nugent and Peter Frampton.

And her ability to defy the Law Of Gravity ...

The 70’s- 80’s singer Jackson Brown way that way too.
He wrote some good songs that were covered very nicely by other people, but almost everytime I listened to Jackson himself sing a song that he wrote, I get bored and start nodding off. Vocally speaking, Jackson was the Ed Sheeren of his day. His singing is sort of Drip-Dry as well.

“This might be a controversial post but I do not think Dolly Parton’s music is all that good.”

Well yes it is to me “controversial’. Of the list of great female country singers you posted I go to Patsy Cline, then Ronstadt (crossover) other than Parton, they are honorable mentions

And (seriously) Johnny Rivers.
