Country icon Dolly Parton is eager to land a job on TV talent show "The
Voice." The "Jolene" singer has turned down a string of offers to be a judge on"
American Idol" and "The X Factor," but admits she would jump at the chance to
coach acts on the rival seiers
Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton currently
serve as mentors on the show, in which contestants are selected based on their
vocal talents and not their looks
Parton tells Britain's Daily Star Sunday, "I've been asked to do 'American
Idol' and 'X Factor' almost every time they do a new series but turned them
down. But I could imagine myself doing 'The Voice.' It's a wonderful show
because you don't have to judge that much and I hesitate to judge people. Being
successful means I can pick and choose the projects I like."
