Rapper FIRST time REACTION to Sugarland - Stay! Oh no, is she the side chick...

[@elizabethfranco1284]

In the song she is speaking from the point of view of the other woman. In reality she had discovered her husband and best friend had been having an adulterous affair. That is why she is so heartbroken and emotional. No acting just real life.

[@autumnwaters574]

Takes a strong woman to take her pain and turn it into something completely different

[@janiceervin428]

Yes. Exactly. She knows how it feels and brought that emotion to her piece. Jennifer nettles is the GOAT!!!!!!! I met her when she was just starting out, ans was opening for other peeps - she opened for Vonda shephard in a little restaurant, and you could feel the deflated energy when she left the stage for headliner to come out! Lol!!! At half time, sugarcane (the original band) came on to play and no one left their seats!!!! Standing ovation and peeps were again bummed when the headliner came on stage for the second half.😂 Jennifer hit the stage in a plain white wifebrater and old blue jeans. She just stood there and sang and the room was spellbound. Christian, (on guitar) is awesome too!!!!! Thanks for playing her!!!! Her voice will make you cry. She's so sweet and a Christian. I've played her music till I broke the iPod!!! Her and Rascal Flats!! Whew. When you need a good cry I guess:)

[@Farmerboy78]

Yeah the cheating happened right around the time this video was recorded

[@dogsoldiertoo1099]

False. Jennifer was going through a divorce at the time but it wasn't because of cheating.

[@sandrasmith7091]

Her voice itself gives me chills😢

[@lauramittler]

Jennifer wrote the lyrics in 15 minutes. She wrote this song in reaction to Reba's song 'Whoevers In New England', a song about a wife sending her husband off to way too many business trips to New England. After hearing that song, Jennifer thought 'I wonder what the other woman would say in response to Reba's point of view. And she sat down and wrote this in 15 minutes. She said that the words just poured out and she went out to run errands. Jennifer is a terrific song writer so I believe it. She is also one of the most talented singers around. Once you hear her voice, you will never forget it. About the video. She was going through a divorce (not because of cheating, btw) and she was really emotional. Her bandmate kicked everyone but the camera person out of the room because she was feeling so vulnerable. I am so glad that you played this. I knew you would LOVE her voice! She's a Georgia girl like me, and she definitely sings with her accent in the mix. 😊

[@MikkiHjalmquist]

Thank you for getting the story right!

[@mattsmith1318]

I've always loved Sugarland and Jennifer Nettles has one of the most amazing voices! I really appreciate the knowledge!❤

[@tammygursky1032]

The man she sings with is her brother, he was actually worried about her too.BUT, it's just so raw & sad! Relatable definitely!😢 She's fantastic 😍

[@mattsmith1318]

@@tammygursky1032 I believe you may be mistaken. Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush aren't related ✌

[@vickimurphy5183]

I heard they did the video in one take also because she was so raw...Kristian wasn’t letting them put her through that again. I've seen them do it live and honestly...she's such a channel that she just pours the emotion out every time they do it. I highly recommend everyone watch "Coat of many Colors" the movie where she plays Dolly Parton's mother...she really is a wonderful actress but also was just really going thru it that day because of the divorce.

[@ninawest88]

This woman needs no or has no auto tune. She sounds exactly the same in concert.❤

[@MoniCharli677]

💯🎤

[@josiahhager4046]

She's incredible, but remember that live autotune exists. The famous version of Sound of Silence by Disturbed features a TON of autotuning -- which is okay! It doesn't make a bad voice good. And I've never heard a live recording of Nettles that's using autotune. Just saying!

[@Snoodles294]

I agree. Sugarland is the Real Deal. Can't wait to see them in Raleigh. ❤

[@cassianfalkener3706]

My first exposure was her duet with Matt Nathanson. Fantastic song, and both artists have their own Official Music Video for it. Matt's video has scenes of him watching the Sugarland video (a live performance). Would love to see a reaction to that one. "Run" is the name of it. Great song, and some fantastic chemistry in the Sugarland video.

[@ninawest88]

Now you need to hear" Girl Crush." By "Little Big Town." That one has a different meaning than you first think, too, and the vocals are excellent also❤😊

[@brasschuckles3138]

Girl Crush is such a crazy song. It’s literally one of the greatest song written and recorded, both Girl crush and stay are just out of this world songs. Just heartbreaking 💔

That moment of realization 😂 This is the “stop being mad at the other woman and be mad at the ‘man’ who cheated” anthem.

[@carundle-ds1op]

Yes, this song is from the so-called side chick's point of view. At the end, she tells her lover to just stay with his wife, she's had it. She stood up for herself.

[@Muziknerd]

Saw Sugarland in concert a few years back. Holy cow, she sounds EXACTLY the same live as she does recorded. Jennifer Nettles has one of the best live voices around. :micdrop:

[@lindaroselevin2191]

No one was cheating on her. She is an amazing performer.

[@Bumperump]

Lady Antebellum is another amazing country band you might want to check out. Their song/video, 'Need You Now', is fantastic and was filmed in Toronto. I actually saw them live in Toronto in 2013 at a free concert and that's when I found out where it had been filmed ( a lot of free concerts in our city at that time & way back when), yes we're that lucky up here 😉

[@1lthrnk]

She wrote this, no makeup or anything done with her hair and she really sells the pain of the other woman

[@JohnPaul-hm2ys]

Jennifer Nettles explains every harm that cheating men can do to women (on both sides of the coin). Her solo song His Hands is even more powerful in it's message. For the fun side of Sugarland, watch the official Stuck Like Glue - a country, reggae, calypso fun song.

[@crissyspeer8525]

I really appreciate your videos... I'm 45% deaf... Growing up I didn't have gerat hearing aids.. I'm 42 right now... My grandparents always listened to country music and I really enjoyed it. Then again I couldn't understand anything really what they were saying.. There was no lyrics online and if there was, well I wasn't good at computers back then. I still to this day will wonder what people are singing about but I always forget "oh yea google has the lyrics". But last night I been listening to your shows.. I stayed up all night listening. I recently installed a sound booster for my PC... and I am hearing songs for the first time again myself the correct way, but even then I still miss a word that changes the whole meaning... Imagin songs you known your whole life weren't even the real words~! One song I really enjoyed was "don't take the girl." I loved that song when I was little because I didn't like girls. lol When I finally got updated hearing aids that song made me cry lol. Like whaaaat? There's also another song I really enjoy and love has nothing to do with hearing the words wrong and getting another meaning... but you should check out "Been watching you" By Rodney Atkins.

[@ECPower43]

Right there with ya, Crissy. 40% loss in my right and 80-90% loss in my left. Music is big for me but lyrics were always a mystery. God bless the internet lol!

She's definitely the side chick. In the first stanza, she says "you'll get another call from home and you'll be gone." I love how she turns it around at the end. Loved your reaction. Thank you! 🙂

[@laurasutherland8928]

Jennifer Nettles voice is a God given talent

[@Instigator106]

I remember the first time I heard this song and watched the video. I wanted to reach through the screen and hug her. true emotion and no acting in this video.

[@roustabout4458]

The side chick national anthem is one of the funniest things I've heard this year😂

[@HexenFrau]

The irony of the song is that she was actually the WIFE in the situation and she still did This song!

[@trailryder5813]

The singer's name is Jennifer Nettles and was inspired by Reba's 1986 hit "Whoever Is In New England" a song about cheating. Nettles wrote this song from the perspective of being the mistress or side chic. The guitarist is Kristian Bush who also sings but obviously did not for this video. It has won multiple awards including Best Country Performance by a duo, Best Country Song and Song of the Year at the 2008 CMT awards show. Even though Nettles did not experience the story the song is telling the emotion is real as she has been asked about it and said that she was just thinking about the song and how it is a song about loss. They originally recorded 3 versions but wanted this version as they felt it did the song the most justice. They also didn't think it would make it onto the radio as it was a 5 minute acoustic song but we can see how that turned out.

[@knitswithhorses2285]

That's what she said at first because her personal issues weren't settled yet I guess but she later came out and said that she had fairly recently discovered that her then husband was being unfaithful. So it hit really close to home. Director kept offering to do another take but she said no. She couldn't handle doing it over and over. One take baby. Let the pain stay in the video because it's real.

[@KimberlyRichard-mj5ep]

I cry every time I hearthis song.....true story . .

[@frederickseltzerjr2170]

Jennifer Nettles wrote this song because she wanted to write a song from the "other woman's" point of view. On the day they went to record it, she really did become overwhelmed with emotion to the point where Kristian Bush had recording stop, ordered everyone out of the studio and only wanted Jennifer and him to capture the emotion.
