Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You?? All respect to Whitney Houston. She was awesome but that's not her song

Thats Dolly's song not Whitneys...and Dolly sang it way better.

Lol well considering she sang it 20 years after her I would sure hope so! 🧡

Dolly wrote it, it's not "Whitney's" at all. How disrespectful.

She wrote it .

reminded me of her song Backwoods Barbie where she sings "I might look artificial, but where it counts I'm real"

THE QUEEN

💯💯💯❤️

@@geodez2959 she brings out my Tennessee roots.

Plastic ppl love to say this, but it's not true. They are as fake on the inside as they are on the outside. Probably moreso.

guess you haven’t seen the diane soyer and Britney interview

You haven’t seen much of Walters, have you. It’s all exactly like this..

Agreed; she also treated a young Brooke Sheilds horrible.

I rather real interviews like this where we get to know the person than the fluff, “nicey” stuff now. Just because someone asks you a question doesn’t mean you have to answer. Now it’s, “Tell me the story when you almost burned rice trying to cook,” “How was working with this director?” And we get phony replies.

You guys are either very young or just a bunch of thin-skinned babies, whining about how "mean" Barbara Walters was. It's journalism, for fuck's sake.

She was simply beautiful in this interview.

If you need that many commas. Just remove the words, that’s absurd

@@queenbutterfly4888 you do realise Dolly Parton is a leftist right? She's openly vocal about her support for LGBT individuals and actively funded Covid-19 vaccines. Her Netflix special is pretty much the queer coded version of It's A Wonderful Life. She's also very openly supportive of transgender rights and anti discrimination.

Wow, I never thought of HER as a joke. I heard jokes about her bust but didn't know that people thought she was a joke. Interesting. Sad.

Glad you are educated on her now

A joke in what way?

She was someone that a lot of people made fun of, including my age group, and I think it stemmed from disrespect for her being a successful woman. I’m so glad that she never let it get her down. She’s an icon.

⁠@@lcam9241A lot of successful women in show biz were disrespected and turned into the butt of jokes in the 70’s - Dolly Parton, Cher, Betty White, Donna Summer, Farrah Faucet. They were all brilliant artists and they got so much disrespect! It’s what happened to successful women back then. I’m thankful to each one of them, and countless others, for paving the way for the younger generations.

Humility*

It's a choice not to be frumpy

Barbara is just asking what a lot of people are thinking. I don't find interviewers who keep asking the same safe questions to be interesting. With that said, I admire Dolly and people who intelligently and patiently respond to questions without being defensive or maintain their professionalism with tough questions. This applies to both entertainers and people in politics.

"I would never stoop so low to be fashionable. That's the easiest thing in the world to do." Dolly Parton Dolly Parton has more grace in her little finger than Baba Walters has shown in her entire life.

Amen!! At the end it's like I feel bad for Barbara because she had an agenda and Dolly basically looked down winked at her and pinched her cheek. Dolly didn't need to say anything but everything she said here was so ABOVE any kind of fuse Barbara was trying to light. Almost as if to say look at how cute you are trying to get me to say something inappropriate. The boob questions, were just plain rude! Finally Dolly addressed it with "my figure" which was so amazingly classy. That was what has always blown me away about Dolly Parton. She was always soooo classy as to never invite any rude questions and has always been absolutely gorgeous and adorably cute. Then you hear her sing and my god it's like what I'd imagine angels sing like. And she can talk into singing better than anyone I've ever heard.

BABA WAWA does not know anything about music, and she does not care about music, and she certainly does not know anything about country & western music. The only interview that I've seen that is worse than BABA WAWA's interview of Dolly Parton, is when David Letterman interviewed Grace Slick (of Jefferson Airplane). In this interview, David Letterman trashes Grace Slick, and he puts her down, and he trashes her again. How sad.

But Barbara just kept coming like a lemming going over a cliff. 😂😂😂

@@januarysson5633 it's like she actually couldn't stop herself. Surely she could have gone off script and asked some normal questions rather than double down on this idiocy

Lmao

Stupid is as stupid does.

stop her whole personality all at once? not likely.

For all we know, that might have been the goal. I'm not so sure I'd believe her if Walter's claimed it herself.

Exactly. She is way out of line. These questions are disgusting.

@@jaislim5717 it's because she is trying to yank a reaction out of Dolly she can use against her

@@jaislim5717 By the standards of the time, Dolly did look ridiculous. At the time, people reacted to her like how people reacted to Lady Gaga when she first came onto the scene. Dolly's very pretty, don't get me wrong, but you can't change the fact that that's what people thought about her. When considering an event set in a past time period, you have to analyse things from how they were. Viewing things with a modern lens will cause incorrect interpretation

It's an actual display of heritage not hate

Unlike most white people today who immediately surrender lmao. I want your people to stand up against todays people

@@OsceolaNola7 explain why it isn’t culture

Dolly has no class… that is the fakest human on this planet, and not one person can name a song other than Jolene, or name one good thing she has done for humanity with all her money…

...and that speech impediment Gilda Radner got so many laughs from.

​@BegoneJonah 😂😂😂😂😂BahBah WahWah, thanks for bringing that up!!! I miss Gilda! She was a hilarious hoot!!!

This is so true! "Hard-hitting journalism"? Nah, more like being an asshole to perpetuate the idea that celebs aren't real people with real feelings.

But to be fair, she worked inside such a misogynist landscape... As Dolly said, she is very sure about who she is. When you don't have that, it is incredibly hard to be a nice female reporter/journalist when you have all the misogyny around you.

@@ThatWeirdFinn Right. I just wish women could at least trust one another to support women instead of throwing them under the bus to gain men’s respect. I also just in general think if we stopped putting celebs on pedestals we wouldn’t get jealous and search for reasons to knock them down.

Barbara Walters doesn't have to put on a contrived middle Atlantic accent either.

It's also appallingly stupid

ESPECIALLY when she already said she’s beautiful AND for some reason doesn’t understand she’s talking to an accomplished star ⭐️ at this point 🤔 Barbara has always been an idiot like this, and was only good for gotcha journalism and the fact she was allowed to keep it up for like 967 years is a testament to how well the machine works and churns and how ignorant and dumb af we are as people

@@RobertJones-pj2jk I wish Dolly had said, "you don't have to look like crap, either, but you always seem to do it."

The way Dolly handled that made me instantly attracted to her. Dignity and grace like that makes a woman SO damn sexy.

I’m taking notes because I can be so aggressive sometimes. Love this.

A modern woman would've just gotten really passive aggressive or screamed or something. This interview is a perfect example of a woman who knows who she is, and is classy. Throwing temper tantrums doesn't make you "strong:

@Get 2 That is just not true. It's what you want to be true. It also lacks the grace Dolly herself is being praised for. Btw, it came out some people thought Betty White was mean. So how about we stop this thing women get saddled with, that we are either impossibly perfect saints or downright evil witches. Nothing (normal human) in between.

I agree with that statement. But, was she though? Considering how much she altered her face/body with plastic surgery?

@@eEmm1 does putting makeup on make you insecure about your face? does wearing high heels make you insecure about your height? does cutting your hair make you insecure about your hair? does wearing push up bras make you insecure about your boob size? No, not necessarily. Plastic surgery is the same thing. Yes a lot of people get plastic surgery because they’re insecure about something, but that’s not the case for everyone. You can be secure in yourself and get plastic surgery too. They’re not mutually exclusive.

@@fruitellabong unless you're a performance artist (with the exception of plastic surgery) yes. yes and yes. That's obviously exactly what it is. The hair one doesn't make sense and is kinda ridiculous but to the other points, yes. All those things you mentioned imply insecurity, no doubt.

@@carpetbeetle8349 if you cave into that pressure it means you're not exactly secure within yourself by default.

@@eEmm1 Plastic surgery has never once been all around encouraged by society. EVERYONE knows that if you get plastic surgery, you will be judged for it. I'd love if you could tell me how she did because she was insecure in herself.

It’s just much more blatant & heavy duty now, b/c their parents were also Indoctrinated, but on a lesser scale. It’s been a steady escalation over time. As all brainwashing & mind control is. The way the world is today.... Globally .... There are many more w/ill intent, to take people down. My comment was referring to a global scale, w/o actually stating it. Taking the masses down by any means the Evildoers can, is the plan. So they can take over w/total control. Control by FEAR has been the agenda on a global scale for going on 2 yrs now. And it’s obviously not stopping. Can’t let anyone get comfortable thinking things are evening out, or going to be ‘OK’. This is ‘on’, full throttle now. No turning back. The 24/7/365 propaganda & narratives are covering _every area_ now. And millions that are ‘group thinking’, over independent critical thinking, have fallen for it all. Doesn’t matter education level.

@@digimon916oh hell nah 😭💀

Interviews should push limits. If they don't at least probe for some sort of interesting thing or bit of insight, why would you bother watching it? That said, the interview was very much patronizing and the interviewer clearly doesn't respect Dolly at all when this interview takes place and that's seen clearly in the questions. Would I change it? Nope. Because the interviewer reflected the criticisms of a wide swath of "society" types in 1977 who all thought they were better than her. It's no different than today listening to the coastal, self-appointed "elites" talking about fly-over country. It's just as derisive, arrogant, and dismissive. Those of us subject to that socially-acceptable scorn should be able to defend ourselves and respond to the critics. Dolly did that with class. She always has been a very genuine, loving woman and an admirable human being.

Why? Because it wasn't a pink bubble bath for Dolly?

@@kma3647 As an Oregonian who grew up in Tennessee, I completely agree with you in all regards. It's really sad how lacking in empathy a lot of people are. I've experienced a lot less bigotry here, but at the same time, I feel there's a lot less love for one's neighbors here, too.

They are, but that's what gets viewers like you and me. TV is intrusive. Don't watch it.

Because she is one.

@David Wang Is she related to you or a close friend? You are going hard in the comment section responding to every negative comment. It’s not that serious it’s just opinions.

Dolly wasn't born with a silver spoon in her mouth. She got where she is through her own hard work, inner faith and brilliance. She absolutely outshines the interviewer.

@David Wang Absolutely nothing you list here changes the fact that in the interview above Walters lacked class and respect. I don’t care how much someone achieves by being rude, there are a ton of people in the business who made it far by being disrespectful. If you need to degrade others to “make them shine” something’s wrong. This interview was a mess, and the only professional person here is Dolly.

@@RspbyLmn she was echoing the times. Dolly was shocking, and over the top, which was and is perfect for her. i dont know BW's heart. her patronising attitude from then is as shocking to us, as Dolly was to them. even so, i am glad that so many attitudes have changed, and hope that they continue to do so.

Exactly! Love Dolly!!!

Exactly, my same thoughts

EXACTLY!

@David Wang You've made it clear what you value. Sorry to break it to you, but neither her fame, fortune, career accomplishments nor the status or caliber of anyone she ever interviewed make Barbra Walters any less rude, patronizing, condescending and "CLASSLESS".

David Wang got hims feelers hurt..stalk babbawhawha much?

I wish I met more "hillbillies" (jibaros in Spanish), so unpretentious

I could never stand Barbara, she's the joke.

I've noticed that a lot of interviews back in the day, especially when led by women, were pretty vile. It's like the female interviewer tries so hard to distance herself from the interviewee in a hateful way. Look at some old Britney Spears interviews. I'm glad that the world has changed a little in the way women now support each other.

...and the way she said it, too.

@@Footswalker1977 Unless you are watching the View. I haven't watched it much but what I have seen, led me to the conclusion that Barbara Walters just doesn't have the intellect to interview most of her guests. She can't compete intellectually so she tries to demean people and expose their worst traits. Absolutely horrible person and interviewer. Gilda Radner's Baba Wawa character was far more intelligent than Walters is and ever will be.

The joke is on lonely toxic feminists like her, who rot alone with their cats.

Dolly is the person displaying feminism here.

Yes! She really stands out in the way she presents herself in the given situation, amazing

Why do you think they are in opposition? Barbara is asking her questions to get an answer, and Dolly is giving it to her. They're having a fine conversation. I think people see regular conversations nowadays as arguments because, well... nowadays, in media, they often are.

And people 🙄

I will remember these gracious responses forever and know, once again, the beauty of God's plans. I was sincerely ....gave me a bad taste in my mouth...for Barbara Walters to have stopped so low as to ask such ignorant questions when she had been the tree and the public had been the axe 🪓 that chipped, games, sliced, chopped away at her in a bad-joke manner for many years. She surely had to tuck some of Dolly's wisdom and intelligence into her pocket and carried it with her for her own rainy days. Ms. Walters disappointed me greatly here. Some jealousy maybe? Because she certainly couldn't touch, with a very very very long pole, Dolly's talent - or grace. Do you know how few people are recognized by their first names only? They couldn't have paid me enough money to be this rude and thoughtless.

more current pop stars should take Dolly's approach, tho. Current "unbothered" pop stars tend to be angry and obnoxious.

Yep , there will never be another Dolly , she knew how to handle the phonies and she knew the entire industry was phony , and so (as she said) she loves a good joke , and that's how she played all those stuffy elitists like a fiddle and made a fortune doing it , and she was extremely talented in music and business

@@shure46 very well said. :)

And not to mention that absolutely adorable accent. It just sounds so charming and endearing to me, I found myself being in a complete awe and smiling while listening to her talk! Is that American southern accent by any chance?

@@Li_Tobler it sure is!

I agree - southern accents are charming. Dolly’s accent differs from Southerners living in other parts of the southern US. For example, the southern accent my family from Georgia has is different from from hers in some noticeable ways if one listens. Texan accents sound different than those in Florida, and Tennessee has yet another variation on the accent. It’s fun to learn about these differences by talking to Southerners from different parts of the South.

Barbara Walters always irritated me because I always thought she was rude! This video is a great example of her rudeness. Dolly looks beautiful here!

The 'interviewer' is Barbara Walters and she's a legend as well as Dolly Parton. She was doing the news before you were born and is, in fact, one of the first primetime female news anchors.

Being sharp is the one thing you can't learn in school, it's learned from the people around you

She said it herself; where she comes from people are intelligent.

Calling dolly sharp. Yes...yes she is its why we love her.

My thoughts exactly. She responded perfectly to ever question, even the tougher ones. She inspires me so much

Dolly so witty, a bit Oscar Wilde-ish in her comments. So funny.

"It costs alot to look this cheap" 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Sadly Dolly can no longer have children and never could 😢, she is Miley Cyrus' godmother! I'm sure Miley will continue on her path.

She knew.

@@black_sheep_nation what are you talking about

I hope at that time, the public went away knowing what kind of person Dolly is. Because they sure went away knowing what kind of person Barbara was. And just _maybe,_ Barbara went away knowing what kind of person Barbara was as well.

There was a line she had in Steel Magnolias and it sounds so Dolly, l wouldn't be surprised if she said it and it was written into the film: "The nicest thing l can say about her is all her tattoos are spelled right".

She said, "It costs a lot of money to look that cheap!" And she was trash talking Janice VanMeter at Shelby's wedding. She wasn't referring to herself.

I don't think being all that applies to all circumstances, but in, this onea professional one, she is a role model for everyone to follow, i wish more man where this smart at answering some of the questions

She’s all of those things AND she doesn’t let people walk all over her. That balancing of kindness and strength, humility and confidence, is everything. She shows us how to be soft and sweet while not giving an inch on your boundaries.

So advanced for this time? No sweetheart women and men have been backsliding for a long time. Your view is in reverse

Honey, you’re clearly along with SO MANY ON THIS PAGE very young and well intentioned. Barbara wasn’t trying to get under Dolly’s skin or to be snarky I can promise you. They are from the same generation that is also that of my mom’s and when I was a child. If you pay attention, you’ll notice that this is how Barbara interviewed. Everyone (including Dolly) knew it. She was known for asking questions that NO ONE else would. People knew this going into an interview with her. I knew this as a child and I’m 51. At some point, my mother told me this about her waaayyyy back. No one was offended by her questions and Dolly Parton is damn near her same age/generation. I know she understood who she was talking to. Barbara Walters was very respected as a journalist since 1951. I can see why younger people would view her in a different light. I just wanted to share that with you. Love

@@zoiefinnian3540 Thanks! I never knew that about Barbara, but seeing it now it definitely seems like she was trying to offend her. Knowing that was just her thing, though, makes a lot more sense.
