I don’t know how to describe it but there feels like a more “personal” or “honest” touch to Dolly Parton’s. With Whitney’s, her version is so beautiful because her voice is like an instrument and she plays it beautifully. However with Dolly’s … I could hear her words more.
That’s just to me, obviously everyone takes things differently.
