FIRST TIME HEARING Sugarland - Stay | REACTION...

[@edlane1883]

That song gets me every time. She is so genuine and vulnerable.

[@timothysassanella272]

I don't even like country, and I always put Nettles up as one of the great singers of our time.

[@Bozers24]

Jennifer Nettles joined Bon Jovi for a big crowd hit called "Who Says You Can't Go Home". Check it out

[@karyn354]

Yes!!

[@heather6668]

Yes please do - i love that duet version of the song

[@toukie]

This song opened my eyes. I had been in love with my brother's best friend since we were teenagers. He didn't know. He never knew. He had a girlfriend who later became his wife. As the years passed, I became his confidante and he would come to me with his problems. He would call me or visit me and we would just sit on the couch talking. Now, we never had an affair. Never passed a threshold of any kind other than a hug when he arrived and a hug when he left, but he hugged everybody. I was so in love with that man that no other man could compare to him. And he is a good man. But hearing that song, realizing that, even though nothing happened of any kind "it's too much pain to hate to bear to love a man you have to share" just... destroyed me because yes, every time he left I would cry. every time I would see him with her it would destroy me more and more. So I walked away from our friendship. I told him I was busy when he wanted us to see each other, I wouldn't respond to his text until two days later and eventually, we grew apart. I met someone else and gave him a chance. I love him, but not like I loved Seb. Part of me will always love him. And after years of waiting for him to be available, decades, really, he finally left her two years ago. Now that I am not available to pursue it anymore. So, yeah... This song is both one of my favorite, and one that breaks my heart again and again.

I was taken back by how invested you were, almost instantly. Youre a good human.

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

Phenomenal duo, and Jennifer is an amazing singer as a solo act. A fun video from Sugarland is Stuck Like Glue. And, her live duet with Brandi Clark (His Hands) is very powerful.

[@newgrl]

I love suggesting "Stuck Like Glue" (the original video) after reactors see this song as their first exposure to Sugarland. This ain't at all what they're about. It's a beautiful, emotional, timeless, amazing song, and I love it. But to me, "Stuck Like Glue" and "Something More" are more indicative of their music and style.

[@MrJwturner24]

That voice, damn.

[@RonnyWestberry]

they have a fun song called stuck on you vocals a good but a light hearted song

[@cliveklg7739]

Jennifer has amazing control with her unique voice. That wasn't a performance, she was going through a tough divorce (there is no information on why) at the time so the emotion was real. For a different mood from Sugarland, "Stuck Like Glue" is an upbeat, fun and even silly song, with an absolutely hilarious video. Another perspective of her personality. I like the perspective of the song. The cheater is taking advantage of 2 people in most affairs.

[@duncansonoryan]

Stuck like glue is such a great song!

[@dbcooper69]

She got the idea from Reba's song Whoever's in New England, which is on the wife's perspective, saying no one has done one from the other woman's side. She wrote it in 2003 and shelved it. She's stated in interviews it had nothing to do with her marriage at the time when they finally released it.

[@alishagrossman4080]

Please go down the Sugarland wormhole! Jennifer has an amazing voice. She’s also sung some Broadway, which I think you’d like.

[@texasboy1209]

Jennifer Nettles is 🔥🔥

[@Hogpapa4]

I like this video before even watching the reaction… SUCH a good song. And the pain she shows while singing it, tells you something personal with her about it… 🙏🏻❤️

[@LisaBush-px7wt]

You, sweet man. Thank you for your reaction. From Alabama.

[@newgrl]

There are so many "let it all out, go ahead and cry all you want" songs in the Country sphere. Martina McBride could have a master class all by herself with "Concrete Angel", "Independence Day", "God's Will", and "A Broken Wing". I think she covered all the "home life can really suck" bases with just those there. Country Songs that always pull at my heart strings: "Don't Take the Girl" - Tim McGraw (1994) "Fire Away" - Chris Stapleton (2016) "Whiskey Lullaby" - Brad Paisley and Alison Krauss (2005) "The House that Built Me" - Miranda Lambert (2010... and totally out of step with most of the rest of her catalogue. Many of her songs are about kickin' ass and taking names.) "Believe" - Brooks and Dunn (2005) "What Hurts the Most" - Rascal Flatts (2006) "The Dance" - Garth Brooks (1990 - Anything labeled Garth Brooks on KZbin is almost certainly not Garth Brooks. His people scrub his stuff from the net and you will get dinged if you react to him in any way. But that doesn't mean that his two double-digit multi-platinum... like way past diamond... Albums "No Fences" and "Ropin' the Wind" shouldn't be listened to in their entirety in the comfort of your own home. They're awesome. And boy, howdy can that man put on a concert!) "If Tomorrow Never Comes" - Garth Brooks (1989) "Hurt" - Johnny Cash (2002 - Almost a word-for-word cover of the Nine Inch Nails song from their Downward Spiral album. His last video before he passed.)

[@matthewdrake4385]

One word describes the song....emotional. not sure what country artists you've reacted to, but i would recommend some Reba McIntyre. Reba's voice is very similar to Jennifer's. Id go with something like whoever's in new England.

[@MelissaDalehite-ey4bu]

Wasn't that so pretty and powerful. She is one of the best.😊😊😊😊😊

[@senorgato70]

One of the most amazing country songs.

[@AngelaWilliams-l6r]

This was done in one take. Raw emotion and everything

[@cindyphifer970]

Love Sugarland and the song

[@davidgiles5912]

Sugarland has many songs to listen to, check out their first hit "Baby Girl" which helped put them in the country zeitgeist.

[@KenTrosper]

One of my favorite songs by Sugarland is their cover of Dream Academy's "Life in a Northern Town" which they performed live at the CMT awards with Little Big Town and Jake Owens.

[@nicolepachniak4247]

Christian the guy playing guitar had everyone leave the room. Just the 2 of them because of the emotions

[@caseyb4425]

Kristian Bush

[@carrielaliberte3255]

Thank you… I knew Kristian had insisted after the first run, he couldn’t see her do it again, and wouldn’t let the producers keep on. So they ad - libbed the part she broke on.? At least that’s what I read. Regardless, This was real and painful for her :(

[@nathantaylor1921]

If you can listen to this song while seeing the video and not tear up?? You are the man, WOW! GREAT VOICE, LYRICS AND PERFORMANCE!!!!

[@billfly2186]

You just want to give her a hug.

[@MikkiHjalmquist]

Down to Mississippi is another great fast song.

[@RebeccaMcCann-u8d]

The breakdown was real in studio. Producers wanted to do it over but Christian would not allow it. He said he couldn’t put her through it all again.

[@cindyphifer970]

You should check out their video Stuck Like Glue. Great song and video

[@rebeccamassey7545]

You should her sing Oh Holy Night. Her name is Jennifer Nettle.

[@daphneberlin1444]

On my permanent playlist is Run by Matt Nathanson featuring Sugarland. The vocals and content are burning 🔥. Jennifer also does a great version of one of my fav Bob Seger song's, Like a Rock.

[@skinmeister1]

There is another song by Sugarland, that is definitely gonna cheer you up. It’s called Stuck Like Glue and the video is hilarious! Check it out!

[@evalehde3869]

The only embarrassingly bad song, she ever did!

[@Spiderific]

That definitely was a funny video. I think he'd like it.

[@pamelaking9715]

Jennifer Nettles is a phenomenonal singer. She did a tribute to Neil Diamond, singing "Hello". It was beautifully done. She also has a duet out now with Darius Rucker right now called Never Been Over. It's a great song!

[@senorgato70]

Would love to see your reaction to some Faith Hill. Cry, When The Lights Go Down, It Matters To Me, There You’ll Be, Breathe are good ones to start.

[@annedurant6000]

I love this song just incredible I forgot all about putting it on my Play list,thank you so much for your reaction n reminding of gorgeous song😘🥰

[@mmoura1104]

Appropriate to see as we come to the fourth of July. I saw a very moving Jennifer Nettles concert performance in downtown Houston on a July fourth. That was so wonderful. What an amazing voice

[@KristenJohnson-it2sz]

She wrote the song from the point of view of the other woman. Which was painful as her husband at the time was creating on her.

[@kimzwolinski9919]

Here to say the same thing 😊

[@cw3336]

Totally false. She has stated numerous times she got caught up in the song and lyrics since the song is unique from the perspective of the mistress.

[@dorenemadrzykowski8426]

So untrue

[@debbiepesola4485]

I believe it’s from Jennifer’s perspective

[@kathyheld493]

@KristenJohnson-it2sz lmao She didn't write this from her personal life. Research before you say shit. She had inspiration from a Reba song from the 80's.

[@TennManYT]

This song shakes me every time. Anybody whose experienced situations like this knows it’s hard to bare.

[@reginasnowdon7004]

❇ ❇ ❇ Please... after this song I recomend her song. STICK LIKE GLUE ❇❇❇ enjoy

[@KimberlyRichard-mj5ep]

Her husband did that to her .....true story that's why she's crying during this video...

[@rodthebodfromcanada]

No he didn't. She was getting divorced but it was amicable.

[@PsychopathicSavior]

I don’t even like country but this song gets me every time

[@CarolinaCharles777]

I HIGHLY recommend you react to Sugarland's live version of the song "Tonight" from a CMA program. It is fantastic!

[@mojomusica.0169]

Sugarland's guitarist Kristian Bush started out in a 90s guitar duo called Billy Pilgrim. They produced two (I think) albums of some great music. Please check them out if you like this...

[@evalehde3869]

She is a truly great singer, and vocally, this is beautiful. That said, the lyrics provoke no sympathy from me. Decent people do not sleep with another persons spouse under any circumstance! Not ever! Period!

[@karlaarmfield9312]

Finally someone said that...

[@K.K.Strausbaugh]

Yes, BUT sometimes they honestly don't know, and when you have someone who's faithful in their relationships only to find out that major detail late in the game.... It can mess with them ! I'm in no place to judge anybody for anything really. I just know it's not always black and white. There's grey areas thrown in there a lot of the time and people tend to snap judgement ( if I was being cheated on, I'd be livid as well tho) but once in awhile there is actually an innocent party involved. There's actually good people who get tangled up in situations that they never dreamed they specifically would be in because of morals, religious beliefs, past relationships etc.... Then they get hit with a sucker punch of truth w/ facts that their bf/gf is actually taken/married ! It's all F"d up really!

[@evalehde3869]

@@K.K.Strausbaugh “ Thou Shalt not commit adultery” I do not see the gray area. If they don’t know that is different, but once they do know, they know.

[@K.K.Strausbaugh]

@@evalehde3869 I meant there are some people who don't know that their "new romantic interest" is married! I don't agree with cheating on anyone.....dating, engaged, married ever at any level. All I was saying is some ppl lie and say they are single when they aren't!

[@Nana_Reads]

They do an incredible version of “Red Dirt Road” (a Brooks and Dunn song ) at a Tribute special for Brooks and Dunn.

[@MCMNasty2]

One of my favorites

[@judithshorey2137]

Jennifer does a duet with Bon Jovi. Can’t remember the name of the song but it is a good one, check it out

[@alishagrossman4080]

Can’t Go Home

[@catherinedorney6092]

Who says you can't go home...great song!

[@jonathangill6584]

Both this and Cam’s “Diane” (which you should definitely check out!) are written from the perspective of Jolene (from the Dolly Parton song). Although I think “Stay” is more loosely inspired while “Diane” is more directly inspired by “Jolene”

[@planojag595]

That song and especially the video hits you right in the feels. I love the raw emotion by Jennifer and how she’s hurting, begs him to stay with her, but develops strength as the song progresses until she tells him to stay away. This topic may be uncomfortable for some but Country tells it like it is and if there’s any emotion that you’re dealing with, this genre will bottle those feelings up and make music that will hopefully help you. Great songs along the lines of this one, about infidelity, realizing your mistakes, or even getting the courage to break free from a damaging relationship are All These Years by Sawyer Brown; Promises, Reasons I Cheat, and Hard Rock Bottom of Your Heart by Randy Travis; It’s Your Call by Reba McEntire; Leave My Heart Out of This by Bryan White; I'm Not Strong Enough to Say No by Blackhawk; and You Were Mine by the Dixie Chicks.

[@jerrywalters8885]

Her emotions are running high as at the time she had just finished a nasty divorce where she caught him red-handed cheating and to help cope she got to thinking about how the other woman felt and wrote this heartbreak song

[@Hogpapa4]

A song about being “… the dirty little secret… 😔”

[@kevinmorrell4155]

A perfect song for 4th of July is Lynyrd Skynyrd ‘Red White and Blue’ 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@janesmith3123]

She sing two of Bruce Springsteen songs when he was honored. President Obama was there.

[@larynanntapp6333]

When they recorded this video, Jennifer's emotions weren't a problem...it was Kristian. He's very protective of Jennifer and knew all about her husband cheating on her. They kept having to re-shoot the video because Kristian couldn't control his emotions but they eventually ended up with one they could use. Watch it again and focus on Kristian's eyes...you can tell he's hanging on by his nails.

[@caseyb4425]

Nice perspective except for one thing, Jennifer has stated multiple times that her husband never cheated on her. And her emotions were very real during this video.

[@larynanntapp6333]

@@caseyb4425 The only "story" I've come across since it was released was an interview by Jennifer. 🤷‍♀️

[@wordgiesworld5483]

Her voice is beautiful. She can do the heartbreakers as well as the fun and bright. For fun, someone mentioned Stuck on You. But for bright check out Tonight. The studio is slightly better because the background in the live one drowns out the arrangement. Cheers!

[@JennyB28928]

💔

[@pamelaking9715]

You should listen to her sing Sara Barellis song, " She Used To Be Mine"

[@jackweasel13]

Jennifer Nettles was cheated on and wrote the song from the other womans perspective💔

[@jbentz1966]

I wonder if she is the partner she's living with. Or the woman he's cheating on her with. Really could go both ways.

[@larynanntapp6333]

Jennifer's husband was cheating on her...she flipped it for the song.

[@ByrdColon]

Whats tough about this one?

[@debragibbs6874]

It a song about INFIDELITY! She knew he was married and didn't care the hurt she was causing another women. Not something to be proud of.

[@dorothystorry1733]

Her husband cheated on her and this is the prospective of the Other woman…. They divorced….

[@caseyb4425]

But this song was written several years before they got divorced. So even if her husband did cheat, which he didn't, it wouldn't have any bearing on this song.

[@brettmiller7138]

Palpable 😢
