Sebs, if you get time, you really should check out Jennifer's video O Holy Night/Hallelujah (Leonard Cohen Cover). It is my favorite cover of O Holy Night, and the added bonus of Hallelujah is just icing on the cake. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oHKoe36dZdGGhs0

You can't feel this one more live than the studio version! She breaks down in the studio. The producer wanted to shoot it again but Christian said no, she's not going through that again.

You should definitely watch the official video.... Just on your own. One of the most powerful videos I've seen. 💖🦋

[@johnk275]

I hate when they pick the live versions, artists tend to add lib and the song loses their meaning. Chris Stapleton is about the only artist that is better live.. maybe Phil Collins “in the air tonight” lol

[@JL-is9rg]

I hope that producer found another career because he's an idiot. He had gold.

[@Cordelia53]

She wrote this from the other womans perspective. It is a powerful song, and it was very emotional for Jennifer since her husband cheated on her with another woman. great reaction.

[@jwoo1800]

Fairly certain the cheating narrative has been debunked. She was however going through/just went through a divorce.

[@vickimurphy5183]

@@jwoo1800yeah I read somewhere she had a friend or was listening to whoever is in New England and wrote this out of empathy because there are so many cheating songs in country music and only a few touch on the other woman.

[@seanscanlon9067]

@@jwoo1800 The cheating story has been debunked but it is just one of those things where someone just makes it up and posts it in the KZbin comments section, and then it spreads via being repeated each time a reaction video of the song goes up.

[@midnyteblues]

False….. Her husband did not cheat. She was going through a divorce, but no cheating was involved, she got inspired to write the song from the other woman’s point of view from Reba’s MacIntire’s song “Whoever’s In New England”

[@gayledoyer5333]

Stop with the BS. It's because of Reba McIntyre song Whoever's In New England.

#Stay My favorite song by #Sugarland Thank you for reacting to this song!

[@nevaclaborn3107]

First time I heard this, I was in a relationship and he was cheating, since I couldn’t talk to him, he kept telling me I was crazy, so I had him to watch this video with me. He turned around and looked at me. I had both our bags packed and when the song ended he turned to me and said “wow”. I picked up his bags and told him, don’t stay or I’ll go. He picked up his bags and left. The song got the message across better than I ever could!

[@jeanniebryant1555]

That took strength

[@elizabethbertucci9313]

PLEASE watch the official video. It is raw and honest. One of the best videos I’ve ever seen.

[@belvagurr403]

To get the real impact of this song you need to see the video of Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush alone on a sound stage. Jennifer breaks down but goes on bravely to the end.

[@drealyn1486]

if you think this effected you, watch the official video. she struggled really hard to get through it. finally the other half of sugarland, sadly I don't know his name, but he called a halt to trying anymore and the video was put together with pieces of the various run-throughs they had.

[@RowdyRuth]

Thanks for reacting to this group!

[@janesmith3123]

I have loved her for years

[@MrsDuke95]

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. Sugarland‘s other member, Kristian Bush, even remembered how he was left speechless by its lyrics the first time he listened to it. *Taken from an article www.countrythangdaily.com/sugarland-stay/

[@jcat__]

Jennifer Nettles is awesome. She has a very powerful and unique slight grovel in her voice. The story behind this song is, Jennifer was inspired to write this song after listening to Reba McEntire "Whoever's In New England"

[@cd1982]

[@karensheline6958]

Goodonya….It’s good to hear an honest, faithful man’s opinion. Your wife is a lucky woman ❣️

[@ambergarner8471]

Yes! As others have stated, this is written from the "other woman's" perspective. The subtle changes at the end show how she's fed up with all the broken promises to leave his wife and be with her. So she's telling him to stay (with his wife). So powerful.

[@donnaschmitz5025]

[@cathybrookeburt2616]

I love that she decides to dump him in the end & is gonna put herself first. A couple other great songs, also fun, by Sugarland is 'Stuck like Glue' & 'Baby girl' is great too. She has a special voice that is very recognizable to anyone who has heard her.

[@greeneyes92061]

Thr official video is much better…….she’s allows her emotions to be more open and more out there. It’s got to be so much harder for her to open up about something that has happened to her in her own life. Although she is singing it from the perspective of the other woman, not the hurt and betrayed wife.

[@febash1702]

Her voice will blow you Away❤❤

[@skoden8353]

Watching your journey into country is great. I'm enjoying it because I was in the military and have lived all over the world and country music is a hard sale to people who haven't experienced it as you are now. Your comments are exactly how i try to explain my love for country music, often falling on death ears and most of the times made fun of. Your growing interest in country is beautiful to me hope it continues and find more songs that you can relate to. Enjoy.....I am enjoying watching you transition.

[@tawneyaldubais]

Watch the official video- it truly shows the emotions that one goes through after marital affairs. Jennifer breaks down in tears. Producers wanted to try again but her band mate refused saying they weren't going to put her through it again. Bravo to him.

[@christophervincent8420]

Sugarland was AMAZING! she is legit

[@ElizabethLOhrn]

I admire Jennifer for tackling the "other side" - how the "other woman" feels in her relationship with a cheating husband. As others have said, Jennifer's husband cheated on her yet, in the end, she chose to highlight the pain of that other woman over her own pain. And, she gave the other woman the role of becoming strong enough to reject the relationship - to regain her own pride. Oh - and damn, doesn't Jennifer have some pipes???

[@joshsheffield3820]

Hey y'all...just wanted to let y'all know that Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles is hosting the new reality series on Fox called Farmer Wants A Wife. She sang 'Stay' if y'all remember. She's a Georgia girl so I wanted to promote her new show.

[@seandobson6221]

When they did the music video they tried to get her to do it multiple times but her bandmate wouldn’t because you can see her breaking down. Jennifer Nettles is a classic country voice.

[@tomsgrexit]

If you have the urge to cheat on your partner, you should probably talk to them and then go your separate ways before things do go too far. It probably shouldn't be hard to not cheat on someone you love or care about.

One of THE BEST country songs ever written.. hands down

[@carolynnewcomb2153]

I love at the end when she finally recognizes her worth, and tells him why doesn’t he stay… with the other woman. I think part of the prize of staying faithful and married to one person, is later in life getting to experience having grandchildren together. To look back at the life you’ve built together and reap the rewards of that hard work. Having a 50yr wedding anniversary party with kids and grandkids, all of whom are there and celebrating with you because of the commitment you made to your partner 50yrs earlier.

great reaction - she bared her heart and laid it out there for all to see - to be vulnerable like that in front of a crowd - is very difficult - but she did and she drew us in - and if you can watch her and listen and not be moved by her vulnerability and her words then you need to check your heart - 'cause it's not working properly...

WHile this performance is really great for a live performance, it does not quite get to the level of emotional singing in the offical video. So do yourself a favor and go watch the offical video as well.

[@malalaz66]

She is singing from the mistresses point of view. She is so emotional because her husband cheated on her. To be able to see the other woman’s side is amazing and heartbreaking. You will notice in country music songs the song will start off with a certain lyric, but then they will flip the script, so that the words that meant one thing at the beginning of the song now means something completely different. At the beginning of the song, the mistress is begging the man to stay with her. At the end of the song she’s telling the man that he needs to stay with his wife because she’s not gonna deal with his crap anymore. Amazing song amazing reaction, thank you.

[@TimothySparks-mt2fg]

Sebs, I don't care who you are. If you aren't moved by this performance from Jennifer Nettles, then you don't have a heart! She kills me with this song. And like you, it makes me want to do right by my wife and be thankful for having her in my life. Like Jennifer alluded to in the song, she will only beg you to STAY for so long before she tells you to go STAY with the other gal. That's if you even get that lucky at all. She might throw you out right away! I think the song was written from a non-married point of view, but the lyrics apply to both married and non-married couples! Great heart-felt reaction by you Serb. I loved that. 👍👍

Beautiful beautiful song and vocals, the most emotional song.

[@joehntr3]

"Stay" inspired by Reba McEntire's ("Whoever's in New England," which is from the perspective of the wife). "Stay is from the perspective of the other woman. 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. Jennifer Nettles was married to bar manager Todd Van Sickle in 1998. They divorced quietly in 2007 the year that the song came out. The reason for her divorce from Todd Van Sickle was never disclosed by either party with Jennifer just stating the "I didn't get married in the spotlight, and I did not intend on getting divorced in the spotlight," she said. "It was private and sacred to me, and when you hold something sacred, you keep it to yourself." The emotional struggle that comes with divorce for what ever reason is what shows up in the video. The song was written 4 years before it was released. They divorced quietly in 2007 the year that the song came out. You really need to watch the official video for this song it is just what you see here; A singer with an acoustic in the background but was recorded during her divorce from Van Sickle.

[@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; and You Were Mine by the Dixie Chicks. Man, I’d love for you to react to those songs!!!
