Chris Stapleton & Justin Timberlake 's Epic Performance | Tennessee Whiskey & Drink You Away

[@ctyslkr24]

[@BlakButtaFlyy]

Tennessee Whiskeys sound is rooted in soul, rhythm and blues that’s why it speaks to you. The last song they sang was soulful too. Our sound is the blueprint 😏.

[@elgeeMusic1]

Chris kills the (thin) boundaries in american music (and races stereotypes too). His "Country" got so much Soul in it, he pulls my tears out with every single note he sings

[@skeezix8156]

[@DillardABunch]

My late wife, Patricia, and I saw this performance the night it happened and it gave us chills. Chris Stapleton and Morganne are what Elvis was to rock & roll. Before this I would have turned the channel the instant Timberlake came on, but his performance was spectacular. I would never have dreamed he had the soul or ability, but man, what a performance. I can watch this a dozen times a day!!! It does make me miss my gorgeous doll, Patricia.

[@joaniehowan8321]

So sorry for your loss. God bless you. I am a singer sometimes to an old bar and sing. Sometimes people clap and sometimes they cry.

[@amaurer65]

So sorry. Glad you found a little comfort from this.

[@stevenhashek8892]

Morganne deserves more credit for her part in this.

[@xBurningGiraffex]

Her harmonies are fantastic

[@tihomir7]

She is good singer with beautiful voice, but she had no lead line in song. You can't be more credited for backing vocal

[@ApotropaicV]

She is the angel of the morning. Nobody, but nobody, can harmonize with that sweet redemption like Morganne. She is the silver lining that makes the dark cloud seem beautiful.

[@kevinexline5392]

@@tihomir7 I mean, that's a two-part discredit. Her backing was the harmony of Chris and Justin's melody. And secondly, that mashup would've never happened without her. She was the one that pushed Chris hard to contact Justin and make a collab happen. Chris has talked about this in an interview. Chris and Justin happened BECAUSE of Morgane.

[@tihomir7]

@@kevinexline5392 of course because two people can't sing three part harmonie. So, if there is fourth harmony vocal would you say the same?

Sorry, Timberlake sucks compared to Chris & Morgane 😅😅😅

[@Darkntwisty88]

@@gaetanhoule706 I was kinda referring to the moment when even Justin, takes the time to appreciate Chris Stapleton’s command of the song. I think the magic comes from all three of them and the entire band/room feeling the moment. I agree that Chris and Morganne have incredible stage presence together and easily could have done just as well without Justin. That being said, I like the fun and high notes Justin throws into this performance.

I love how as they get into the tail end of Drink You Away, you can see Chris looking to Justin for cues. It's easy to forget that when this happened, Chris was still relatively new to the big stages and JT absolutely was coaching him along through his song. It's an amazing collaboration.

[@shannonjenkins4149]

But also Drink You Away was Justin’s song so maybe he was just looking for Justin to lead it.
