FIRST TIME EVER HEARING SUGARLAND "STAY" REACTION| VOCAL SINGER REACTION

[@wwhtp]

The studio didn't want her to do the song. They said nobody was listening to ballads. She insisted and it went to the top of the charts and the top of our hearts.

[@stevenclemons1]

The beauty of this song is that she is the sidechick with low self esteem. Then halfway through it she learns her worth and the song goes from "why don't you stay here with me" to "stay where ur at because I deserve better". This is classic storytelling. My favorite song from them.

[@konstancemoore4883]

I love when people realize she’s the other woman.. I never will get tired of watching a reaction of this song! It’s beautiful

The emotion was real in this video. She was going through a divorce at the time. Her husband had been unfaithful

[@AsiaandBJ]

😱

[@rhinousmc8052]

Your both correct. She was going through a divorce with a cheating husband and no she was never a mistress cheating with a married man as the song portrayed. She specifically wrote the song from the other womans perspective

[@kellyhazelett139]

Jennifer Nettles wrote this song. It is so personal and she sings the hell out of it. She really cried in this video. She has no makeup. It’s her, her words and that sweet guitar 🎸 The end she’s telling him next time he wants come be with her to just stay with his wife or gf. Don’t come to her.. Because she doesn’t have to live that way. She getting up and giving him up for her own sanity

[@roguemerlin1969]

The guitarist in the studio said "I can't do this anymore and stopped playing because she broke down several times while recording." It was too much for him to handle.

[@patriciatownsend]

Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush are an amazing duo! This song shows how he is the perfect accompaniment to her raw vocals.

[@juliesolock7191]

Her husband cheated & she decided to sing from the other womans perspective. While shooting the video she was going thru the divorce, so the emotions are real & very raw.

[@KaseyShipp-io4gn]

She has said in several interviews that he did not cheat.. She was going through a divorce and the emotions are real but he did not cheat.. She wanted people to see the emotional rollercoaster the other women can go through...

[@tammypearson989]

This song always makes me cry! But I still love Jennifer Nettles voice!

[@tammypearson989]

[@kristiehardy9911]

She is singing from the perspective of the “other woman” and portrays the emotions perfectly.

[@cindyknudson2715]

This song is just as powerful from the wife perspective.

[@kdkay4039]

Her husband cheated so she wrote this song from his mistresses point of view. She did this video in like one or two takes. He bandmate tried stopping this and she said no continue! What a brave woman, with such a kind forgiving heart. She blamed her husband, not the other woman.

[@eh7330]

This! It's her man's responsibility to her to be faithful! Not the other woman.

[@billparrish4385]

There was no indication in any of the reports on her own divorce that infidelity played any part. The pain of her own breakup no doubt informed her very real pain during filming. But the idea for lyrics written from the POV of the 'other woman' came from Jennifer considering Reba's song, 'When Whoever's in New England's Through With You'. Jennifer's the best!

[@jamesfish2177]

Such an amazing song. Her voice is stunning.

[@jodydarby]

Sang with Jennifer in a group in high school. Very genuine. Awesome singer and performer.

[@Silverado21]

Her partner in the group (the guitar player) had to record his part separately because during the song it was breaking her down so hard with tears he couldnt concentrate to do his part together at the same time. The tears in the video are her REAL tears. This song was related to her personally.

[@arkikali5632]

Jennifer Nettles is not only a POWERHOUSE of a singer. But she also is an actress. Watch her in the story about Dolly Parton called " Coats Of Many Colors". Its a Christmas movie so its right up alley for this time of the year.

[@lisaray9944]

Bush says they often got odd looks from audience members wondering whether the song had anything to do with his and Nettles’ relationship. Bush is married and says his relationship with Nettles is a brother-sister relationship. His “big brother” instincts came out when they taped the video for “Stay,” as Nettles became overwhelmingly emotional. Bush recalls, “Immediately, I was just like, ’Everybody stop. Stop this! Y’all leave the room. Y’all made her cry.’ I was like a knuckle-draggin’ dad or a husband or something. I was really freaked out.” He went to console Nettles, who had stepped out of the room, and offered to send everyone home, saying they could continue taping the following day. But Nettles assured him she was fine and continued to cry during the next three takes, making it hard for Bush to watch. “About that time, I’m spent,” he said. “It’s not even noon and I’m emotionally drained. They had to tie me down to watch all of this happen. It was like watching someone torture your friend.” Little backstory on making of the video

[@LucidDreamer68]

Yes, you can see the pain in his face and even he has to look away. I feel for both of them during this song.

[@dbowlz]

They were gonna cut out the part with her crying but the guitarist said to keep going and they kept it in

[@gripp62]

Wickipedia says: According to Nettles, "Stay" was inspired by Reba McEntire's 1986 single "Whoever's in New England", a ballad in which a wife addresses her unfaithful husband.[1] After hearing the song, Nettles thought that it would be an original approach to take the perspective of the "other woman" (i.e., the mistress), as very few country songs had ever done so.[1][3] Once she decided to take that perspective, the song "practically wrote itself".[1] The melody is similar to the Lonestar song "I'm Already There."

[@chrisashley5206]

This song is a masterpiece. Jennifer is the wife. She wrote the song from the other womans perspective and sang the hell out of it while battling the heartbreak and betrayal.

[@gsh341]

A lot of people think about her as a "homewrecking other woman", but nobody ever thinks that she's a victim in this as well as the guy's wife. This guy laid on the charm and told her he loved her. He made her feel special and probably told her that he was separated from his wife or in the process of a divorce and that he truly loved her. She fell in love with him and want's nothing more that to be with him. Now she's coming to the realization that he's just playing her and never intended her to be anything other than the "side chick". That's why in the third verse she tells him she "up off her knees " (standing up for herself) and that he should just stay with his wife because she's better than being the "side chick." That doesn't mean it doesn't hurt or that she isn't heartbroken. It's just she can't keep loving someone that doesn't truly love her.

SHE WAS GOING THRU THE HEARTACH HERSELF...💌

[@billparrish4385]

However much we can dismiss her for getting herself into that situation and no one else to blame, the human condition is more complex than that. We can have two thoughts, that aren't necessarily in conflict anyway. We can still be kind, generous, and loving, even with someone whose own poor choices have caused her so much pain. It would be easy to just say, "Sucks to be you, shouldn't have messed with a married man in the first place." That would be easy, but it would be cruel and wrong. The fact that she broke the rules doesn't free us from that other rule, to love one another.
