She’s a singer, songwriter, actress, author, and businesswoman. Powerhouse Dolly Parton has accomplished much in her illustrious career. That doesn’t mean we know everything there is to know about her though. In a sit-down interview, Dolly Parton answers questions that people Google about her.
“I don’t Google myself because I know what I’m pretty much up to and if I don’t know, all I’ve to do is pick up a National Enquirer magazine.” She laughs. “Yeah right.”
The Internet can be a place for a lot of good and interesting questions. Luckily, Dolly didn’t mind opening up.
The first question – Is Dolly Parton soprano?
She comically references the infamous mafia from HBO’s hit television series and laughs. “You mean the mafia? No. But if you’re talkin’ about my voice, I would say I’m a soprano.”
“That means very high and I’m a very high singer,” she says musically.
The next question was – Is Dolly Parton country music?
If her accent doesn’t give it away, she gives a straightforward answer.
“Well absolutely. I’m a country girl and I started out in country music. That’s my favorite. Of course I like to think I can do all sorts of music now.”
She has definitely experimented with other genres including “pop” which she mentioned, but her heart is in country music without a doubt.
One surprising question was – Is Dolly Parton godmother to Miley Cyrus?
“Well everybody knows that. Actually I’d say I’m the fairy godmother of Miley Cyrus.”
Another comical question later in the video – Can dolly parton cook?
“You better believe it. I’m a really really good cook. I’m not a gourmet cook. My food is not pretty, but it’s good.” She puts quite a bit of country emphasis on good. She’s so funny.
The last question – Does Dolly Parton have a new album?
“Well, yes I do!” she admits gleefully. “It’s a Christmas album. It’s called ‘A Holly Dolly Christmas.’ What else? How corny is that right? Or cute, I thought. Anyway, I’ve always loved the song,
