Dolly Parton: "Miley Cyrus Is The New Elvis."

Country music superstar Dolly Parton told AOL that Miley Ray Cyrus is the newest up and coming pop rock & roll star, 'that little Miley Cyrus.. she's like a little Elvis.' Dolly also raves about her goddaughter's song writing skills, which she believes can rival those of someone twice her age.

"The kids love her because she's Hannah Montana, but what people don't realize is she is such a fantastic singer and songwriter. She writes songs like she's 40 years old! She's really deep. I think that she's gonna have a big career after that show. But I'm amazed at the talent that child has and the effect she has on people. And a lot of that ain't just Disney, a lot of that is Miley."
