First Time hearing Sugarland ( Stay ) | Reaction

[@bernadette3069]

The tears were real. Jennifer was going through a painful breakup and while they filmed the video, she began to cry. And they just continued to film. So those tears and emotions were 100% real 😭

[@TimedRevolver]

Yeah, Kristian eventually went to the director and said "I hope you have what you need, because I can't stand seeing her keep doing this to herself."

[@bobbyleverett4747]

And this goofy dude is smiling through the video looking like a clown

[@tinagoetzka5980]

she was cheated on by her husband and going through a divorce she is singing about the other way and she is awesome

[@jbs2763]

There’s a Reba duet called “Does he love you” that’s both sides of the cheating

I love Jennifer Nettles. Not only is she beautiful, her voice is beautiful and she brings so much soul when she sings. She's amazing!

[@weisup4960]

The song can be sung from both sides... She wrote it from the perspective of the side chick, even though she was the wife going through the divorce... But it can and was meant to be sang from both perspectives, because he couldn't make up his mind, and it always tears up both women inside.

[@witchgirl546]

She Was Going Through A Divorce When She Was Making This Video

[@kathgraham9209]

Sugarland’s Jennifer Nettles Solves Fan-Fueled Mysteries! None of the rumors that have been swirling around her emotion-packed smash, 'Stay' are true either -- that Jennifer is that 'other woman' begging her man to stay. But because she tears up each time she sings it, her audience tends to tear up right along with her. "As a storyteller, I take that as a compliment," says Jennifer. "Fortunately, it is not my own story ... but as a songwriter, I enjoy writing as a storyteller, exploring characters and telling other people's stories." The other member of Sugarland is Kristian Bush, and although he and Nettles are very close, they insist it is like a brother-sister relationship and that this song is NOT autobiographical. It has been fourteen years since Sugarland’s “Stay” became the country duo’s first chart-topping hit to solely be written by the duo’s one-half, Jennifer Nettles. Nettles actually wrote the ballad four years prior to its release. It was inspired by Reba McEntire‘s Grammy Award-winning song, “Whoever’s in New England,” that tells the predicament of a wife who thinks her man is having an affair. However, Nettles decided to tackle it from a different point of view. While there are a myriad of songs written from the viewpoint of a person betrayed by a lover, Nettles could not find one that sings from the perspective of the other two people involved. The singer-songwriter noted that most people did not realize that even those who are doing the cheating get hurt too. So, Nettles chose to put the other woman’s perspective in a song - and the moment she did, she was overwhelmed with emotions that “Stay” pretty much wrote itself. Even though Nettles has never lived the track’s storyline, she knew the subject of cheating and betrayal is something many listeners could relate to.

The American Idol Farewell version is so much better than the official version. They are like two totally different songs. Whatever producer decided that song should be an upbeat pop song should be fired. It's just... not.

Please check out Martina McBride. Independence Day, Concrete Angel's is also amazing. Tear jerker alert with both. Also Reba, The Judds, Trisha Yearwood, Carrie Underwood.

[@larynanntapp6333]

This video is brilliant. They stripped it down to just Sugarland and the guitar...add in the emotions on her face and especially in her eyes, makes this song a bigger hit. It's different from other videos..it's plain and simple and by stripping it down, if you're paying attention, it hits more than 99.9% of other videos. I am a Sugarland fan but this video is in a league of its own.

[@HillaryHuffine]

Sugarland's song Babe gives you the perspective of the wife. Great song

[@ravenwolfscorner]

I’ve been binge watching his country reactions all day. I feel like you really dropped the ball on this one 😢. Casually/happily dancing though it because “ you figured it out quick”. You didn’t . Those tears are REAL and I have NEVER seen a more real, emotional video from anyone. I think you need to re-watch this one an actually WATCH it. This is a very sad video, and you totally missed it 😢.

[@itmesweepy7699]

this song always hits close to home. Even after 15 years. Her emotions in the song....😢😢😭😭😭

This was done in one take because Jennifer was so upset. She is the other woman. In real life she was the wife he was cheating on her.

You are actually very close to connecting the two songs. The first song of this series is "Whoever's in New England" by Reba McEntire. Then fast forward to Jennifer, Kristian, and their writting team who wrote "Stay". Which connects the song from one side of the story to the other

[@susieq1565]

Beautiful reaction! Trophies 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆. If dude is lying about leaving his wife, chances are he lied about having one in the beginning until she was already in love! In real life Jennifer Nettles is going through a divorce so she's actually the wife, she just wrote this from the other woman's point of view. Those emotions are real. They had to stop filming and use what they had so she didn't have to go through it again. ( at the request of the man playing guitar, Kristian)
