I notice that almost everyone sees the singer and her powerful emotions and performance, however; no one ever mentions the guitarist and the emotions he is showing, and how powerful that is, taken with hers....wow. Just wow.
Kristian Bush is the guitarist and other half of Sugarland. He wanted to stop the filming because he thought that Jennifer was tearing herself apart emotionally
It's hard not to react to the real emotion in her eyes and just want to hug her. As others have said, she was going through a real life divorce at the time she recorded the video. This was not her specific real life experience, though, she just channeled the emotion in her performance. *EDIT* She was inspired by Reba McEntire's song, "Whoever's In New England," which was from the perspective of the wife being cheated on. *END EDIT* Jennifer realized - much as you did - that she'd never heard a song from the other woman's perspective, sat down and wrote it pretty quickly. IMO, it's a tremendously sad song that shows how everyone is hurt in a deceitful relationship, but it also shows the positive of her getting back on her feet and telling him to just stay with his wife since he can't give her what she needs. Sometimes good people make bad decisions. It shows a path out of a terrible situation, but also shows that it's not necessarily an easy one. Just do it anyway.
@@tomuchcamoflauge You are correct. I misspoke. Here's the article I took that information from and it just says she was inspired by the song, not that they were released near one another. My mistake! Thanks for the correction. :) www.cmt.com/news/1578707/the-story-behind-sugarlands-stay/
They wanted to stop the recording because she got so emotional but she said no to keep recording. Baby girl is a good song. Enjoy your channel. Thank you
There are a lot of people who love this heartbreaking song so we completely understand why you love this song. Jennifer Nettles has an incredible voice and if I'm not mistaken this is one of Sugarland's most popular songs. Jennifer was not the other woman but she was going through a divorce at the time and she channeled those emotions into this video.
You must have a huge, sensitive heart. I have watched so many of your reaction videos and you always seem to be able to connect so deeply to music. For this reason I love watching! You are authentic and share these pieces of yourself. Thank you for being you.
I was like you, Craig! I'd never heard a song from this perspective. The first time I heard it, I can't deny, I cried like a baby! If you haven't reacted to it, "Baby Girl" is a great song by Sugarland. Thanks for the video and reaction! Love your channel :)
Jennifer Nettles is hands down my favorite singers singing today . She is so versatile and has a gorgeous range. As a fun, completely different side of Sugarland try It Happens. In my opinion you can't go wrong with any song from Sugarland or Nettles solo.
You’re right, it is beautiful. In the end she stands up for herself and tells him to stay with his wife. It’s hard to have any sympathy for the other woman but you can cheer for her when she tells him she’s worth more than he will give her.
Jennifer Nettles is awesome. She makes you feel the emotion of the song. I absolutely love her voice. As you say it's stunning. Thanks for the reaction.
Jennifer (the singer) is truly amazing! She wrote this song and the emotion was real, but not from personal experience. This song won a few Grammys, ACM, CMA and CMT Awards in 2007/2008. You should check out more Sugarland!
I always found this song powerful. With the twist at the end, she emotionally decided the affair wasn’t healthy for her heart and she let him go by telling him to stay with his wife. Jennifer Nettles voice just makes you feel what she’s feeling. Thank you for your reaction!
Great reaction! No one ever thinks about someone being led on by a man they have fallen for, to find out he is married. Wanting to believe they are leaving to be with you, and finally understand, that is not what is going to happen. I have not been in her shoes, but I felt her pain.
In the conversation for Grammy for most realist moment in a performance Jennifer with Stay is right there with Stevie Nicks with Silver Springs. What a privilege to be alive to witness the raw humanity of each.
I truly appreciate channels such as yours that keeps the message of the lyrics in the traditional sense for the clarity and continuity for generations. Blessed be young lad.
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!!! Thank you, we appreciate what you’re doing and for taking our requests!
This is one of those songs I play when I NEED a good cry and it just won’t come. Breaks down those emotional guard rails so I can let it out. I feel like an old dishrag afterwards but better. Thanks for the review. I love everything Jennifer Nettles does. She’s amazing.
Kenny Rogers " Coward of the County " is a good one. Lyric version"""" his voice is easy to understand but the lyric version helps understand the story of the song.
Everybody who watches this just wants to give her a hug when it's over. The visual is just so stripped down and she's all alone. No surprise she's been in two Broadway shows. Subscribed. I really enjoy your thoughtful reactions.
This is an absolutely heartbreaking song. It's captivating to listen to. If you ever find someone who isn't moved by the emotion in her voice or her face, you've found a sociopath. If you find someone lowering their head in shame, you've found a cheater. Everyone else is just drawn right in.
Sugarland is a duo. Jennifer was going through a very nasty divorce, {her husband cheating on her}, when they were recording this song. She kept breaking down till her partner, Kristian told her he couldn't take watching her torture herself, took his guitar and left the studio.
That is one of my favorites that they do. I love her vocals on their song "Very Last Country Song" and also they do a great performance of "Red Dirt Road" at a tribute for Brooks and Dunn.
Yes, she's the other woman whose love for the guy blinds her to the immorality of her actions. The guy is definitely a cad. I loved the turning of the tables at the end of the song.
She has a great voice. If you haven’t already been down the rabbit hole, check out “Who Says You Can’t Go Home” withe Jennifer Nettles (from Sugarland) and Bon Jovi.
“Life in the Northern Town” by the English group The Dream Academy, is a cover song Sugarland did live with Little Big Town. Awesome harmonies. I like the video format you used. Great reaction dude! 🌎✌️
In an interview, Jennifer Nettles said that the inspiration for this song was having listened to Reba McIntyre's song, "When Whoever's In New England's Through With You". Reba's song was from the perspective of the wife. Jennifer's song was from the mistress's perspective.
NOT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL She is NOT the "other woman" She is NOT the "wife" It is just a very well-written STORY Sung from the heart❣ "STAY" .....Is a gut-wrenching story-song about infidelity and betrayal, written from the POV of The Other Woman. (NOT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL, Nettles insists.) Nettles: "When I was writing the song, it felt good, but I didn't really analyze it. However, when I was done with it, and I was sitting back and playing it back, I thought, OK, this has something. I thought it was really special. It had a wonderful moment of redemption and it was a twist on a classic story. It was fresh and new. Now, that wasn't the intent when I started writing it. The intent was, hey, I want to express another side rather than rehashing the same old thing, and see how that feels emotionally." "I feel very grateful that I have never had to be or ever chosen to be or accidentally found myself to be in the space of the other woman. But I think we can all relate to the concept of being in a place in our life that isn't the healthiest for us and having to make a hard decision that isn't easy, even if it's the best decision for us, and having to experience a loss that comes from making that healthy decision." "I think it's true to the human condition of understanding and loss, but also to the rawness and vulnerability of being fallible. We make mistakes that not only hurt ourselves, but hurt other people. We many times sell ourselves short, not only in relationships but throughout our own lives. Hopefully, we come around at some point and realize our own value. Being able to have that moment in the song where she comes around and says this is very very painful but I am worth more than this -- I think everybody has either experienced that moment or craved that moment." "This is such an emotional song. It's all about being able to hear those lyrics and being able to understand them so that you can get the impact of the whole song." "This is a crazy, emotional, dramatic song about a dramatic story in a person's life."
I love this song and Jennifer Nettles (in Sugarland and on her own). You should check out 'That Girl' which is from Jolene's point of view in Dolly Parton's 'Jolene'. I love the spin she put on it. Possibly my favorite Jennifer Nettles song is 'His Hands', just pay attention to the lyrics in it.
There is an old country song from the woman's point of view. First, listen to Hank Thompson's song: The Wild Side of Life. Then listen to the answer to that song by Kitty Wells called: It wasn't God Who Made Honky Tonk Angels. Both are very good.
Her pain was real, she was going through a divorce at the time and she said she could channel her emotions. She was not in the position of the meaning of the song. Already Gone by Sugarland is another great onel
You can't hear this song and not feel raw emotion. The first time that my daughter sang in front of her fiancé she sang this to him and he broke down and cried. It's hard not to.
Great choice today with Sugarland - Jennifer Nettles has a powerhouse voice! I've suggested Rascal Flatts - What Hurts the Most I've suggested Tim McGraw - Humble and Kind, as well as Brooks & Dunn - Believe I'll add to my suggestions Kenny Chesney - There Goes My Life. check them out
Its nice to have people like you to share music with. I hope you're channel explodes and I wish you nothing but the best. -Love from Tennessee
Thank you so much!! 🙏🏻
@@taylorfamilyreactions Very welcome! ...And of course auto-correct changed "your" to "you're" in a pinned post. 😂
Jennifer Nettles was going through a divorce at the time. Her ex husband was unfaithful.
@@paulmyers6171 I keep reading that on every reaction video to this song but it is not actually true, at least the unfaithful part is not anyway.
Jennifer Nettles has said many times this song had nothing to do with her personal life..that being said she has a great voice..
*"All I Want to Do"!* Just a fun, happy video! 😃

@@tomuchcamoflauge yep
She is considered Country but has a great bluesy tone to her voice.
Both Jennifer and Christian show so much emotion in this song..❤
I have not heard this. I am amazed that people can sing while tearing up - I sure can't. What a sad, beautiful song, woman, and situation.
They wanted to stop the recording because she got so emotional but she said no to keep recording.
Baby girl is a good song. Enjoy your channel. Thank you
The duet by Reba McIntyre and Linda Davis titled “Does He Love you” gives you both sides of the wife/mistress dynamic and it’s beautiful.
Yes! This! Perfect song ….and comes at the same subject matter from BOTH sides. LOL

"Stuck like glue" is a song by Sugarland that is Very Different!! Fun!
You should watch another song of theirs called Stuck Like Glue, its catchy and the video is funny 😁
I love your reactions. No frills. No unnecessary bullshit. Just learning about new music. It’s refreshing and soothing.
✌🏻❤️from Texas
Thank you so much! 🙏🏻
This actually happened to her in real life, right around the time of the song's writing.

Jennifer nettles has a very strong voice. Like most good country songs this one pulls you in.
The live version of Kellie Pickler Tennessee is heartwrenching in the end too.
The song you are thinking of is called I Wonder by Kelie Pickler
I love this song. She has a great voice and you can really feel what she's singing.
I always found this song powerful. With the twist at the end, she emotionally decided the affair wasn’t healthy for her heart and she let him go by telling him to stay with his wife.
Jennifer Nettles voice just makes you feel what she’s feeling.
Thank you for your reaction!
Thank you for seeing that she's the other woman. Most reactors don't get that. Still a beautiful song. Great job.
Tremendous observations!!!!! Great job

I like you! Your my people i cry every time i hear this song
Sugarland is fantastic. Also Kristian Bush, the guitarist, has a single "trailer hitch". It's good.
In the conversation for Grammy for most realist moment in a performance Jennifer with Stay is right there with Stevie Nicks with Silver Springs. What a privilege to be alive to witness the raw humanity of each.
I have no idea how people can react to this song and keep it together...great reaction, and props for keeping it together.
Nice last name :)
I cry everytime I hear that song. God live her heart ❤
I truly appreciate channels such as yours that keeps the message of the lyrics in the traditional sense for the clarity and continuity for generations. Blessed be young lad.
Such a powerful voice
This is what country music is all about...
There's nothing fake about Jennifer. Such a powerful voice from Such a tiny lady. If a song doesn't make you feel happy sad or mad it's just a poem
Poems are meant to make you happy sad and mad as well tho

Ok this is the last one for tonight. 🤭🤭🤭 Watching your reactions have become my new favorite thing.
She wrote this when she found out her husband was having an affair. Done 1 take as Christian couldn't see her go thru such pain.
Jennifer Nettles has such a pure voice. Can sing with anyone.
A similar song is a duet from the perspective of both women, called Never Wanted to be That Girl, by Carly Pierce and Ashly McBryde. Wonderful song.
Love your reactions.
The look an everyone's face when they realize where she's coming from
This is an absolutely heartbreaking song. It's captivating to listen to. If you ever find someone who isn't moved by the emotion in her voice or her face, you've found a sociopath. If you find someone lowering their head in shame, you've found a cheater. Everyone else is just drawn right in.
Sugarland Stuck Like Glue. Not as sad its funny.
"Baby Girl" is one of my favorites by Sugarland.
I'm pretty sure there's not very many songs told in that perspective but I can't say this is probably the most beautiful
Absolutely loving your reaction videos! Keep them coming ☮️🌼♥️🇺🇸
This song breaks your heart for her 😂🇨🇦

They had to stop several times during the making of the video so she could gather herself to continue. This was very real.
Good choice.She is so talented.She actually also acts as well

Jennifer Nettles, she can sing anything. Play more of her.
She's an actress as well. She was in Dolly Parton's movie "Coat of many colors", named after a Dolly song.
She was going through a personal break up during the time of this taping ... she told them to keep going because it made song more powerful
Just found your channel bro. Love it from Texas
If you want another song from the perspective of the 'other woman' then I'd suggest Diane by Cam. Really cool song! I enjoy your reactions :)
NOT AUTOBIOGRAPHICAL
She is NOT the "other woman"
She is NOT the "wife"

The singer’s name is Jennifer Nettles and she’s recording as a single artist.
Check out some Chris LeDoux. Hall of fame rodeo man and incredible songwriter. I'd suggest This Cowboy's Hat first then dive down the rabbit hole.
It’s a beautiful song for sure! Her husband left her.
Nothing like a broking heart. been there 2 twice, never again.
Real art evokes emotion. If you can’t feel it, what’s the point. That’s what good country does.

Jennifer Nettles (?) has the kind of voice that's so clear and in key that sometimes she sounde like an instrument.
This song always tears me up. Two recommends: Travis Tritt - Foolish Pride, Diamond Rio - You’re Gone.
Check out Stuck On You omg I love that song , mad love and respect 💞❣️💕🥰💪💪💪💪
Her pain was real, she was going through a divorce at the time and she said she could channel her emotions. She was not in the position of the meaning of the song. Already Gone by Sugarland is another great onel
