The tears were real, she was going through a pretty nasty divorce at the time. Although she has stated that her husband wasn’t cheating, she did say that there are a million break up songs out there, but she had never heard one from “the other woman’s” perspective. Either way, she has an amazing voice! Check out “Something More”. Also, they were the band that was about to take the stage on the terrible Indiana State Fair stage collapse of 2011 where a few people lost their lives.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Added that one to the list -Dustin

[@baknopp0517]

Also, this song was written in a way to allow the "listener to determine" who the "other" woman was. The "first" woman was never identified throughout the song. While most cheaters will "always" be a cheater she could have been fighting save her relationship as maybe she felt she was the reason he was feeling distant from her. This song leaves a lot to the imagination of the listener!

[@kimwatchesstuff]

I think I heard somewhere that they had to redo this video 3 or 4 times because the emotions were too much for her to sing. I think what we have is the right amount of right amount of tears.

[@kcallamajaji]

@@baknopp0517 I don't agree with that at all. One of the first things she says is "it's just another call from home, you'll get it and be gone". Makes it pretty obvious she's the other woman.

[@leannmiller7153]

The tears were real. She was going through a divorce. The guitarist wanted to stop filming her, he couldn’t stand to see her in so much pain. They decided to continue. She wasn’t cheating in real life. She had heard Reba McEntire’s song Whoever’s In New England that deals with a wife being cheated on. Jennifer Nettles decided to write a song from the other side.

The singer was in the middle of a divorce when this was recorded (that's why those tears seem so real... they are). She is singing from the perspective of the other woman even though she, in her personal situation, was not the other woman. It's really easy to not feel any sympathy for the other woman but I do feel like this song does a good job in capturing the perspective, even if you don't agree with the choices. You don't necessarily have to like the song to appreciate how well it captures the emotional turmoil of a woman who's gotten herself into that position.

[@whenmylifebegins]

It really is an interesting perspective. Even if you make a decision with the understanding of the consequences, it can be difficult to anticipate or control your emotions. People make mistakes. They can hurt both others and themselves. What really matters is a person's ability to learn from those mistakes. Their ability to grow and see how their actions will not only effect themselves but others. And how the actions of others may or may not change just because you have.

A song I'd recommend is "Stuck Like Glue" from Sugarland. I began to really appreciate Jennifer Nettles when I saw her in the movie Coat of Many Colors.

Just Might (Make Ne Believe) is a good one where you can hear her voice.

[@SilverbladeDagger]

What I like is the differentiation of lines for each verse. She starts out begging the guy to stay with her and "WE don't have to live this way", then later "I don't have to live this way". She's going through changes from begging to "Hey, I don't have to be the other woman, you stay with her." It's like an epiphany caught in the middle of a song.

[@amyaeschbach3581]

@@bfsgman you know in real life she was going through a divorce because her husband cheated on her and left for that woman. Reba had just written a song about being cheated on. She answered with this song from the “other woman’s” perspective. Had never been done before. I think her tears were real but for her own broken heart. I was only reacting to this video. I didn’t come close to saying it was all the man’s fault! I said “as well” meaning they’re both culpable. It takes two. And we don’t get the whole story in the song. We have no idea what was said or told to her. They’re relationship could have started without her knowing he was married? But got to deep. So she’s definitely made bad decisions too, like him. I just think she made this particular song from this perspective to show the heartbreak caused all around by a situation like this. Just because someone might have made bad choices doesn’t negate them from their feelings. Anyway I like how in the end she grew stronger within herself and left the situation!

Keith at 1:08. Know the feeling. There's a certain year for which I need to buy an encyclopedia yearbook. Wondering whether the twist in this one will be missed. Let's go. I've watched other reactors miss the twist in the meaning of the chorus. Also, the reason for Jennifer's emotion may not be commonly known. Granted, using her difficulty as it was recorded is a choice - but the backstory is that she was affected by divorce in her personal life and although the song is from the perspective of the other woman, the other woman was not Jennifer.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Yeah, I don't think we ever assumed Jennifer was the actual, real-life other woman here. - Keith

[@DieYuppieScum91]

The song should be painful and uncomfortable. She has made a bad decision (with some help from the lying sociopath that is leading her on and telling her that he's going to leave his significant other), she is dealing with the consequences of that decision. I can empathize, but I do not sympathize. There's a difference. I can understand her pain and her performance is strong enough to make me feel some of that pain, but I do not feel sorry for her or give her a pass for her role in the situation just because I can understand how painful of a position she is in. She did put herself in that position and she's laying in the bed she made, at least until the final verse when she finally does the right thing (and even that is for the wrong reason). Also, some recommended songs from Sugarland: Stuck Like Glue, Down in Mississippi (and up to no good), and Just Might (make me believe).

Similar message in another song you should check out, Ashley McBride and Carley Pierce’s I Never Wanted to Be That Girl. It’s a beautiful song but with the same mixed feelings. Other Sugarland songs are Want To, All I Wanna Do, and my favorite Baby Girl. Jennifer Nettles has also been recording solo as well as acting. She been on Broadway, can’t remember the production and she stars in the TV story based on Dolly Parton’s childhood (Coat of Many Colors??). And I appreciate your honesty in the reaction and how you separate the talent from the message in the song. There are songs that I think are beautiful but I won’t listen to them because of the way they make me feel or memories that they bring up. If everyone liked the exact same things it sure would be a boring world.

[@greeneyelove2003]

I worked for a company and there was this guy who was married to Wife 1 and while Wife 1 was pregnant, he met and began dating the woman who would become Wife 2. Well, as soon as Wife 2 was pregnant, he met and began dating the woman that would become Wife 3. Guess what happened when Wife 3 turned up pregnant? Yep. He met another woman while Wife 3 was pregnant and I don't know what happened after that. I left the company. But mother of all that is good and holy, these women were so shocked when they found out he had cheated on them and all I could think is how can you justify being surprised when he's proven he's a freaking chronic cheater?!?!? The song really is amazing, and her voice is outstanding. I like the simplicity of the video itself; just her singing, the guy playing guitar. Nothing to flashy. I suggest "Coward Of The County" And "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers. "It's Your Call" and "Whoever's In New England" by Reba are relationship songs that are more from the wife's POV. And "Does He Love You" and here I have to suggest both the original video she did with Linda Davis and her most recent remake with Dolly. Both are so good. The original plays out like a mini-movie but the one with Dolly is sat more like a conversation between the two women. The one with her and Kelly is great but I think the original video has more emotion.

Few months late but I really love this song - and fwiw, I don't think it's meant to make people sympathize.

Though one of the great things in music, and in stories, is we get to read in it what our experiences tell us to.

[@LadyShar]

From the song we don't know if she knew he was married when they got together but that doesn't matter to my point. This song is great vocally and her "performance" is great, however the true message of the song is to wise up and get out of the relationship. that he is using her. The last verse she says I'm up off my knees and next time you want to leave her bed for mine, why don't you stay (with her) because you can't give me what I need. It's not necessarily to make you feel sorry for the other woman but to make you realize that it's a no win situation that causes nothing but pain. to get out of that toxic relationship. Anyway that's my interpretation of the song. A cautionary tale.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We agree that's the end-message. However, the first two verses, she knows she's the "other woman," and continues along anyway. - Keith

"I don't have to live this way" from "we". Good job noticing, Keith. Maybe one of the other comments will agree with me on this, but I think there's another verse that says she gets up off her knees, (or did I just miss it?) and as Keith said, she grows some strength to leave (and yes, tells him to stay with his wife). A "good"one for the cheating wife is Garth's "Mama's in the Graveyard, Papa's in the Pen". Anything else by Sugarland is excellent.

That’s called “Papa Loved Mama” but Garth is super particular about his music so it will likely be hard to find. Also not a good one for the wife…she’s in the graveyard. It’s more of a ol’ red kinda man’s revenge/redemption after being cheated on. Guys if you didn’t like this one don’t ever get sucked into “White Liar” by Miranda Lambert.

No one needs to throw hate anywhere. You guys provide us with a form of entertainment by reacting to songs you don't know. I doubt anyone would want you to lie about your opinion. I personally enjoy just watching other people listen to my kind of music and give true responses about their likes and dislikes. And .. you two are not the only ones to say the same thing about that song. Not many can sympathize with the other woman... nor should they. Good review.. !!

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Thanks!

Something More by Sugarland… great vocals, everyone can relate to the song and it’s not in your feelings.. it’s a fun song. Thanks guys. Keep them coming!

While I disagree with your viewpoint, I TOTALLY RESPECT the fact that you have the balls to be honest at the risk of losing viewers. These are reactions I actually enjoy.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

We appreciate that. And that's just what we are. We call it like we see it, and we know for a fact that often costs us viewers and subscribers. We're ok with that. - Keith

[@r.rodriguez1257]

Definitely appreciate your view on the message of the song... when I first heard the song I took it as a human being with actual emotions that made a poor decision but eventually found her strength to do what is best for her. Glad you were honest with your reaction.

[@pamchappell2772]

During this song she had an emotional breakdown. The tears and reaction was in fact very real.

[@jamiekopmann8877]

I agree with y’all sentiments when looking at it in that way. Fully respect that. HOWEVER the way I saw it when I really began listening to it (I’ve been listening to it since I was waaaay too young to understand what it meant) was that the “phone call” he gets at the beginning of the song was her first confirmation that he’s a cheater. That before then she had suspicions but this was her end all proof. Then the rest of the song is her emotions in that moment. Starts with the ‘I can’t take it, I love him, how could I let him go’ feelings that come followed by the absolute heartbreak of the truth hitting her; and finally her realizing this is wrong he’s trash, and she’s leaving.

[@goldieschooch8512]

I recommend HIS HANDS it may come up as Jennifer Nettles instead of Sugarland. She is the singer of Sugarland but goes under Jennifer Nettles. You will not like the subject but in a TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAY!! It’s worth your opinion!! I know u will have one which is ofcourse good.. that’s the point of reacting! 🙏 to you both & your family’s! Thanks for serving 🇺🇸! My father & many others have served! God Bless

There's a video of her (Jennifer Nettles) By herself singing "O Holy Night" in a radio studio that really shows the power of her voice.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

I'll add that one to the list -Dustin

[@elischultes6587]

I’m glad that you saw that she saw that she needed to walked away from the cheater.

[@ronnywestberry9503]

A great song to try from Sugarland is "Stuck like Glue" this is a good song

[@JavaJane87]

Yes! I agree that if they cheat with you, they'll cheat on you. ... Baby Girl! It's one of my favorites by Sugarland. Or Something More. Powerful voice but lighter. A fun one is It Happens.

Ok guys here is a few of Sugarland. ALL I WANT TO DO SOMETHING MORE BABY GIRL SETTLING STUCK LIKE GLUE WHO SAYS YOU CAN'T GO HOME (WITH BON JOVI) IT'S ON BOTH THEIR ALBUMS. They have at least 30 songs plus to choose from. 🌻 Jennifer is very fun loving kidder, jokester most of the time. Has a lot of fun. Turns any song into a country song with her voice and cuteness

Thanks for watching.

[@StephFlynn26]

Great reaction! I respect your honesty and stance 😀

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Thanks!

[@Caperhere]

There’s nothing in the song saying she knew he was hooked up with anyone when they got involved. Lots of guys play that game, sometimes having two families, kids and all. While recording this, the producer made her sing it over and over until she was breaking down. Her guitar player made them stop.

[@yvonnemager9085]

Stand BacK Up has a better narrative and is just as powerful. They have tons of up tempo stuff that is also good. Down in Mississippi and Up to No Good, Stuck Like Glue, It Happens.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Several of these were new adds to our list -Dustin

[@sweetpea7292]

I never liked this song till I saw the video. Her emotions are just so raw and real and her voice is incredible.

[@RowdyRuth]

What a great view, unexpected but great! Good for you guys! 🌎✌️

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Thanks!

[@jaimesonmeza7097]

They are trying to make you cry this time, this gets me every time

[@sherryarflin726]

Oh man, you guys picked a real tear jerker. This is as real as it’s gets. Plus it’s being done in the other woman’s perspective which is a first that I know of. Ok, I’m not sure why you would delete it and how you could have gotten the end of it wrong....I’m interested to see how y’all interpreted it. No, she tells him she done Dustin. Damn, y’all are really taking this literally!! Ok, “ All I Want To Do” “Want To” “Baby Girl”

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Yeah, we're literal sometimes, and got those votes -Dustin

[@hanssolo8795]

If you can give her credit that the subject isn't the initial person in this song try Stuck on you.by Jennifer.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Stuck on you, or stuck like glue? -Dustin

@@BourbonCountryReacts Stuck like glue.Sorry my goof.She did it live as a duet on one of the talent shows but I forget which one

Check out "Babe" by this same singer. Same concept but from the wife's point of view!

[@Steven-cn5wr]

In this song Jennifer nettles the singer from sugar land is the wife. She was singing this song to her husband. The other girl was the mistress

[@chrissemones6195]

I do like the family message of their first hit …. Baby girl. Here collaboration with Jon Bon Jovi was really good as well … Can’t Go Back was good as well . Just my 2 cents. I’m a rocker but admire good artist. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🔥🔥🎸🎸

I'm right there with you 2, I 100% understand. When you said you deleted it, I didn't need a explanation.. so good job yes she is definitely an awesome singer.

[@BourbonCountryReacts]

Yeah.. we just.. yeah. - Keith

[@Prozak63]

I'd like to speak on what you say at the end about her choosing this. Having been over 26 years active duty myself and many others have had many occasions where we were away fom home, family and loved ones. I've witnessed far to many times where during that absence a spouse has strayed. Both male and female, and started a rogue relationship without the other person knowing they were married. Some times the relationship has gotten to the point where the unknowing have fallen in love. And we all know we find it hard to stop loving even after being treated wrongly.

[@susanthomas8492]

They wanted to stop recording because she was so upset and crying because she was going through a divorce but she wanted to keep going and recording. Baby girl is a good song and all I want to do and something more. Her name is Jennifer Nettles I thinks she did some solo songs also.
