Chris Stapleton - Cold (LIVE) REACTION | FIRST TIME HEARING CHRIS STAPLETON

[@Trump2024Kentucky]

Singer songwriter from Kentucky. It gets no better than Chris Stapleton. He is a unique talent. The GOAT as far as I am concerned. Country, blues, soul all wrapped up in one package.

[@danielsimpson9893]

My dude. No one prepared you for the GOAT. Chris is other worldly. Hopefully you go down the rabbit hole.

[@stevep2380]

Oh that moment when the reactor goes in thinking they're going to hate the song then Chris starts to sing.......priceless! Lol

[@kiabmedia]

😂

[@chrish9762]

Lol I love that moment when the light bulb goes on, and without knowing it, they start truly reacting to the music. Also love the moment the "stank face" happens lol

[@aquariusmarika]

because this is not a typical country, it´s jazz, blues, that´s why.....not hating, everybody has their heart on something and I respect that but I don´t really like country but occasionally there is a song that is special...this one is a masterpiece.....

[@gaylejoslin]

So good to watch! Loving this!

[@michelleboussiala4470]

One of my favorite hobbies- watching people discover Chris Stapleton or Pentatonix for the first time

[@williamallen5854]

He not just a Country Artist, he's an ARTIST

[@MikaelMiky]

I agree

[@waynemcd2]

Ok that wasn't country........that was a country artist singing soul music........Stapleton has a gift to make you feel every word regardless of genre

Facts 💯🔥

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

Chris Stapleton can make you feel his pain!!!❤😢❤🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@Kim-rf5et]

Chris isn't country he's music. God given raw talent. National treasure.

[@BastardZombieKiller1]

It's soul. His soul. Growing up in Motown, I heard it my whole life. This is soul.

[@KathyLivingston]

Tennessee Whiskey By Chris Stapleton will rock you with SOUL

[@kiabmedia]

It did! Love that song now. That reaction is up on the channel 🙏🏾💙

[@nicoleortiz522]

Chris Stapleton is amazing, he’s his own genre. Little country, little soul, Little Rock

[@Dark_Light223]

Agree he amazing

[@stellamorgan482]

I think Chris made up his own genre! He appeals to everyone I've seen react to him. I'm not a country person either but love me some Chris. You should check out "Sometimes I Cry" at Bing Lounge. It's just him & his guitar before he became real famous but his voice will have you on the floor!

[@kiabmedia]

Fr! “Sometimes I Cry” seems to very popular recommendation. I’ll check it out! 🙏🏾 thank you for the recommendation and comment 🙏🏾💙

[@bdmacg]

@@kiabmedia The Bing Lounge version. He is special...

[@odinspromise]

Chris Stapleton, you don't just listen to his music, you feel his music, experience it...PEACE!!!!!

[@janelaughrin5153]

Regardless of the genre, good music is good music! Chris Stapleton is a genius! He's a brilliant storyteller and is such a real and raw performer! Saw him in concert last summer and it was EPIC!

[@jameschambers5396]

Chris has converted so many of us! Welcome to the party!

[@kiabmedia]

I bet haha but aye thank you 🙏🏾💙

[@jennevieveberlin]

The genre of music Chris makes is "Chris Stapleton." You can't put him in a box. He is incredible.

[@lisaskinner2828]

Always listen to him live. You’ll never be disappointed!

[@cesheph]

Absolutely only way to listen to Chris Stapleton his lives are Better than any studio version. UNREAL TALENT

[@williamackley7242]

This should be song of the decade, best new song I've heard in Year's, pure gold

[@LindaLittle-m7j]

Yes, Chris Stapleton sings, and you can FEEL his pain!!😢😢❤ It's 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@serenaeiler7585]

Started as a song writer for others, his wife convinced him to sing. Fire Away, Tennessee Whiskey, Death Row, too many to list.

[@kiabmedia]

That’s amazing! Especially involving his wifey 🔥

[@sandimcclure3723]

I know its a mind blower he kept that voice from us for to many years. Thank GOD the one who signed him talked him into it. He didn't want to go on stage back then now look at him. He is a Gift from GOD with that voice.

[@babyboomermemories6150]

This doesn't mean you might start liking country music, but that you will love Chris Stapleton. He has no category.

[@EJKest2019]

My all time favorite Chris Stapleton song is " I was wrong," its a live performance with an extended guitar solo at the end. Goosebumps every time I watch it!

[@djdrew3102]

Having not been a 'country fan' for almost all of my 39 years-- after listening to Chris's music a few years back , I decided that I honestly don't care about the genre, I just care about the music itself....and after having listened to all of his albums and all of his live performances/covers, I haven't heard a song yet that I want to skip when it comes on. he's a genre-defying generational talent that has one of the most incredible voices I've ever had the pleasure of hearing as the icing on top. As one of your newest subscribers, I'll request Chris Stapleton - I was Wrong (Austin City Limits live) .....it would be a fitting song to match how he defied the highest of expectations on this one.

[@joesmith5097]

You and so many ppl say and likely watch these reactions for the exact reason I do..country has had its moments w me. 8 don't hate it, but I was never blown away by an artist. There was never a country artist that I would go scalp tickets for or over pay for good seats for there show. I virtually hit my bucket list of bands from previous generations in my early 20's ...from Eagles, Clapton, Meatloaf, Mellencamp, Bon jovi..all ppl who could perform..there has been a handful from 90's and early 2000's I saw but Chris I'd pay whatever to see him..may have the chance 8n a couple of weeks. We'll see!

[@djdrew3102]

​@@joesmith5097 Definitely do it! When it comes to music, I'm huge on going to shows/concerts and being able to enjoy an artist's live performances. To me, that's where you can clearly see and feel the difference between a good studio artist and one that crushes live shows (or both lol) I've probably been to more than 100 concerts/festivals/shows in the ~15 years leading up to covid ....I had tickets to see Chris in 2020, it was rescheduled to a year later, 8/12/21 in Charlotte, NC... my expectations were sky-high and I'd say he met or exceeded them. Out of the hundreds of performers of many different genres that I've seen play & sing live in my life, Chris is probably one of the only ones I've been lucky enough to witness that felt like the microphone and the audio system , despite sounding incredible while not looking like he's even needing to try TOO hard in front of nearly 20,000 people...it felt like it didn't do full justice to the depth of his voice. The only other time I had that feeling was seeing Robert Plant perform at Bonnaroo 2008....despite his older age, he absolutely crushed it.

[@joesmith5097]

@@djdrew3102 I just started a new job, I don't know if scheduling is gonna work out just yet..but I would certainly love to see him asap..I would love to surprise my old man w a ticket to see him together. He introduced me to all the great legends of music as a kid this would be a great b day present if I could swing it. Yes, your 100% correct literally everything your saying regarding true artist, musicians, performers. It's a dying breed...artist are manufactured now 95% of the time! You look right they can make u sound good enough, just check off their checklist, ...control, say and do the right things..it's why it took chris so long to blow up! He doesn't look like Tim Mcgraw..they wanna sell sex not music. Ppl are dying for this, Adele was sexy before she lost weight..hee talent was immeasurable..she was special. I and most men wouldn't take or trust our girl friends or wives around Chris, he doesn't need a six pack and tight jeans to steal my girl. It's just reality! Great music, talent, etc is what it is..it breaks color barriers, genres everything! It's true American culture and it works to well. It's why MTV plays jersey shore or basketball wife's now instead of music videos..it worked to well. Racusm was almost dead for around 10yrs between 95 and 2005..being a racist was embarrassing then now it's all we focus on!

[@lindapowers8592]

Chris is soul, blues, country! He has his own genre for farm sure. He is my favorite artist period across genres. He is also a dynamic songwriter for himself and others. He is an awesome guitarist as well. He is unique to say the least and all of his live performances sound better than every recording.

[@rickvenatta8691]

Chris is getting a lot of reactors PAID! You picked a lucrative rabbit hole, partner. Everybody has a different song of his they'll recommend you check out next, for me it's Sometimes I Cry, the live performance at the Bing Lounge. It's just him, his guitar, a mic and that concrete bustin' voice.

[@lauranievinski8323]

You’re not going to want to listen to any other “country” after this! When I saw you were reacting to Cold for your first Chris reaction, I knew you’d be hooked! I’m not a country music fan either, however, I’ve seen Chris live 3 times and will be seeing him in October this year. Now you’ve got to check out Tennessee Whiskey, Sometimes I Cry, I Was Wrong, Death Row, Starting Over, etc., etc., etc. He’ll be on your playlist, for sure. I’m so happy someone recommended him to you. P.S. When you watch his other videos, you’ll see a woman on stage singing with him. That’s his wife, Morgane. He started out as a songwriter and has written hundreds of songs for other artists and many have been #1 hits on the charts.

[@kiabmedia]

Man, that so special! I’m glad someone recommended him. Feel like he gonna be saving a lot of his music to my playlist. Thank you for the recommendation and comment 🙏🏾💙

[@michelleboussiala4470]

Chris Stapleton is his own genre. There literally is no one else like him. So proud he’s from my home state of Kentucky. Try his cover off “This Is A Man’s World”. He was watching a band at a little bar and was asked on stage to sing an impromptu song. Crazy good 👍

[@donnaspaulding4293]

I'm from Kentucky also,he makes me KY proud

[@kathyborthwick6738LakotaEmoji]

Chris is his own genre- soul, country, blues👵🏽👋🏾🔥🔥🔥 Love your honest reaction!

He is truly amazing the one and only chris stapleton

[@edwinsemidey1992]

Chris is different his Bluesy sound and his Voice OMG . We've all been there before and the PAIN in his Voice . And when he makes his Guitar cry

[@mikeguerrero7416]

I don't think iv seen anyone listen to Chris Stapleton and not be memorized by his style and voice.

[@kiabmedia]

Man, literally blown away haha man is amazing. More of Chris otw

[@donnab9265]

there's not a more perfect song recorded live. this man is magic. god-like talent

[@JWCorne67]

It's Blues. This song is in the same time, timbre, style, and feel as most blues songs. It incorporates the soulful vocal feel of 60's-70's electric blues, soul, even R&B, with elements of Gospel. Mr. Stapleton is a master at song writing and composition.

[@jeanmarie9797]

Crazy but I always think Chris is best live. He is a true artist.

[@jjbrown2484]

Listen to Whiskey and You by Chris Stapleton. Every song he sings is Awesome!!!

[@danmcdonagh8924]

He makes you feel every song and the lyrics.

[@aprilmason5978]

Yes !!!!!! You must react to "Tennessee Whiskey". Chris is a different breed of " Country".

I love peoples reactions ,to Chris Stapleton singing.Priceless.The man can sing.Gives me goosebumps...

[@kiabmedia]

Haha man is one of a kind 🔥

[@kdr11112]

I love to watch first reactions to Chris Stapleton! He always blows people away.. common saying “I was not expecting this!” You can’t go wrong with any Chris Stapleton song… he is such an eclectic mix of country, blues, soul.. nobody like him! always watch live if you can!

[@sherilynperkins3318]

I loved this reaction!!! You were willing to try, but had already decided that you weren't gonna like it because it's "country". And we could see in your face the instant you were awed and became a Chris Stapleton fan!!

[@csalazarsr]

Soulful is always the description for those who hear Chris. I got into country because of Chris

[@scottreasons982]

Check out “I Was Wrong” and “Death Row”. Dude can literally sing anything. Started out in Bluegrass bands(Steele Drivers) a rock band (Jompson Brothers) has wrote tons of songs for other artists..and now solo. He even covers A Mans World by James Brown. Bad dude

[@cspole3435]

As suggested, Tennessee Whiskey (Live @ Austin City Limits).. there's also a great performance of TN Whiskey that Chris does with Justin Timberlake (CMA Awards 2015... they do 2 songs back to back... second one is Drink you Away do both!), he performs with H.E.R. at another awards show... so many... It's a serious rabbit hole and you'll never be disappointed with Chris. He's something special!!

[@gk5891]

Chris Stapleton is Country but he has a lot of Blues and Soul influence. He is also a traditional Rap fan (which I can't help but think has some influence on the way he structures lyrics). I agree the Austin City Limits performance is the best performance of "Tennessee Whiskey". His normal backup singer is his wife Morgane Stapleton. If you do the 2015 CMA Chris & JT performance I highly suggest treating the pair of songs as one. The energy level just keeps ramping up.

[@kdr11112]

The CMA Awards performance live with JT was so 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@malianelson5082]

Welcome to the Chris Stapleton fan club ❤ What a singer Writer musician. He is amazing ❤ He doesn't have a bad song. Love your reaction. Love seeing people's reaction the first time they hear him. He is amazing ❤Keep up your great work. Love you too ❤️

[@jimmygriffin2754]

Chris will be millions into country music . All they have to do is listen once. All his songs are equally awesome.

[@NLR-ix9yq]

So happy your mind and heart are open to appreciate music coming from this genius. The writing, the interpretation of the song, the punctuation of lyrics with the blues just fill your heart. Gotta love him if you heart beats!

[@bubgum0079]

The moment you fall in LOVE with Chris’s voice….Ahhhhh.

[@kevinyancey]

Take it from an old country hick, this is country soul brother. At it's finest. If you want to hear some old country soul listen to some Patsy Cline or Marty Robbins if you'd like to hear some Mexican flavored country. Rock on brother.

[@SnarleySteve]

The man mixes blues and his soulfulness to make a song that breaks genre boundaries. You can't help but love it.

[@badgrandma6973]

It's NOT country...THIS is the BLUES and it's POWERFUL!

[@keebler5064]

He is AWESOME! He has written thousands of songs!

[@bluetorchful]

Sometimes I cry, I was wrong, Tennessee Whiskey, Fire Away and Its a mans world. All great Chris Stapleton performances, he sounds good both Live and Recorded but you get a little extra from his performance when he is live. Great Reaction, thank you

[@kiabmedia]

My reaction “Sometimes I Cry” is dropping in a few days. Thank you for the kind words 💙🙏🏾

[@mik9124]

There is so much wisdom in this song as a reckoning with one's own self-knowledge about what can influence one's own life. You just have to realize it to change yourself to be able to give true love.

Chris Stapleton puts this kind of passion in every song he sings! Great reaction!

[@marilynbryant9523]

Chris brings a string BLUES influence. Surprised that couldn't be recognized. He is an artist not just a country performer. Cannot compare him or analyze with only expectations of Country. Listen and feel him. His appeal is that he is an original

[@vonasavini8308]

Chris really is more blues to me. But if you expect other male country singer's to sound like him, you'll be disappointed. He really doesn't fit into a box. And he's better live than recorded.

[@lisazaccardimeunier8378]

I love country music and can tell you no other country artist will live up to the bar set but what you just watched. Chris is IMO the best singer/songwriter to walk the planet, in any genre. My music experience, as a fan, is defined by “before hearing Chris” and “after hearing Chris”.

[@lisaadams1249]

I've never been a Country fan, but Chris is the truth. When he sings Tennessee Whiskey it gives me chills. I'm a AA Women and Chris has Soul hands down!!

[@ArmyRob13]

Chris doesn’t have a category, he’s southern rock, soul, country, he’s his own thing for some reason he’s categorized as country for some reason but I’m glad you licked this song!

[@georgegomez3983]

Chris is a SUPERLATIVE SUPERBEAST...every artist fears Chris covering their songs...because he ALWAYS does it better. Check out Chris covering "ITS a man's world " ...it will SHOCK you.

[@terrichristenson432]

I discovered Chris a few years ago and you can not pigeon hole him, to me he is more than country !!! He is a Superb songwriter, almost all his songs he sings are written by him. For years he worked as a songwriter in Nashville and made a ton of money for other artists who sang his songs. From what I have heard his wife is responsible for him turning into a Amazing performer and singer !!

[@kiabmedia]

Totally agree! The more I have reacted to him the more I’m coming to realize he is a fuse of so many other genres haha. Hope you check out my other reactions of Chris on the channel 🙏🏾💙

Great reaction chris is a generational talent your right about taking old country and putting he's own twist on it country blues soul always react to live performances there better try Tennessee whiskey Austin city limits also l was wrong Austin city limits also either way live on the Charlie Rose show he hasn't got a bad song.

[@robif3631]

Country music IS soulful…that’s why, after 100 yrs or so, it’s still So Popular!

[@lfyoung]

this is a rare person, he does sing country but this would be a full on blue song. nobody does it like him a truly beautiful kind human being. its well worth the journey to listen to all of his songs

[@bryanaustin22]

“Sometimes I cry” is a great show if his vocal abilities. “Death row” is a great Blues style song to check out. “What are you listening to” is another great song. His “Tennessee Whiskey” performance with Justin Timberlake might be one of the best performances I’ve ever seen. “Fire Away” is a good story but it’s a sad one. Great music video for it as well. You can’t go wrong with that guy. Listen to a bunch of his stuff it’s all fantastic

[@chrishackney8402]

He's a brilliant writer also. His styles vary from country, southern rock, soul, blues, r&b even. Dude is a generational talent.

[@angelamurphy775]

Country music tells a story. If it’s done right you’re gonna feel something. ❤

I don't believe that Chris Stapleton is 'country', in any way. He sings in one of those unique, and cross-genre ways that is impressive. He is country, soul, blues, R&B, and little bit of rock all at the same time. With a lot of emotion in every song he sings. You can feel his feels in every song. It's amazing!

Standing ovation from his PEERS.

He is the absolute best. He does such a fantastic job of infusing blues into his country music that it sets it apart from anyone else. When you react to his other songs make sure you get the live versions because they are so much better than the songs recorded for radio.
