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 😭
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.
she is singing this from the point of the side chick.. she was going through a divorce during the filming of this video. Her husband cheated. her tears are 100% real
Carrie Underwood The Champion ft. Ludacris Hallelujah with John Legend Just A Dream Church Bells Something In The Water Temporary Home Cry Pretty Just some choices for ya she has a ton of good songs
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.
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.
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.
I have watched a LOT of listeners hearing a song for the first time. I have even cried with them, but I can honestly say, I haven't yet seen one as funny as yours. ... .thanks for the laughs❗️
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.
She didn't write this song because of her breakup. She wrote it several years before and it was inspired by Reba's "Does He Love You". www.cmt.com/news/1578707/the-story-behind-sugarlands-stay/
If you are looking for other country female songs to listen to check out Jo dee messina - my give a damn is busted Miranda lambert - vice, or gun powder and lead Mindy mccready - guys do it all the time, or ten thousand angels. Loretta lynn - fist city
Hey Holla! Sounds like you need to listen to Reba McIntyre and Linda Davis duet "Does He Love You". You'll definitely want the live version in the red dress at the music awards show!
She Wrote This As an Outlet During Her Divorce When “Sugarland” Started Getting Some Fanfuckingtastic Breaks & He “Journeyed “into Another Woman’s’ Bed For 2-3 yrs Making Jennifer the Wife in this Video Scenario Hence.... That’s How The Song Came To Be!! FYI Those Are Real Tears
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 😢.
She has another song that I first heard when my daughter and I saw her live. It is called 'King of the City'. There isn't a video, but her words paint the picture better than any video could. It relates a powerfully emotional story of the 9-11 attacks from the perspective of an immigrant window washer. Link th-cam.com/video/JyiyzPoPOgk/w-d-xo.html
Carrie Underwood - Temporary Home Kelsea Ballerini - Peter Pan and Homecoming Queen Little Big Town - Tornado and Your Side of the Bed Kelly Clarkson - Piece by Piece (live at American Idol)
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
She is the side piece her. I dig the way she figures out through this, that she doesn't need to live like this. And, btw, the emotion is REAL! She was going through some shit when she did this video and it really came through.
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)
If you want hit homicide songs try - the night the lights went out in Georgia by Reba Mcintyre, two black cadillacs by Carrie Underwood, and good bye Earl by the Dixie Chicks
You should do Sugarland's Babe...in that one she's the wife...written by Taylor Swift...awesome song Also Little Big Town's Girl Crush...another Taylor Swift song
She was being cheated on and going through a divorce when she sang this song. All the emotions were real. She wanted to sing this for the other woman's perspective. Her voice is amazing.
I love this song. I have watched so many people react to it and you are one of the only people who has ever realized that she is singing from the perspective of being the side piece. When others do figure it out, it's normally near the end when they do.
Don't close your eyes, is about a guy who wants the woman he is making love to is thinking of him not someone else. I read a story someone wrote about a man who fell in love with his brothers widow, and asked that she keeps her eyes open, so she could see it was him not his brother.
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 😭
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."
And this goofy dude is smiling through the video looking like a clown
@@bobbyleverett4747 I know that is why I stopped watching - not watching his stuff again, he is not paying any attention
@@bobbyleverett4747 I love this guy but that annoyed me too. I am not saying be fake but this isn’t a song that you half ass pay attention to
It was her divorce! He cheated on her. She wrote this from other woman’s perspective. Did it in 1 take!
Side note: she was the one that got cheated on, but she wrote it from the side chicks perspective
"I don't think she'd make a #1 hit talking about a homicide"
Um... "The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia" begs to differ
Also.. Goodbye Earl
Independence Day - Martina McBride.
Two Black Cadillacs - Carrie Underwood
@@shantel7107 Amazing song and I love Martina's voice
Reba “Does he Love You”, Miranda Lambert “Gunpowder and Lead” and Dixie Chicks “Goodbye Earl”
Martina McBride Broken wing
GUNPOWDER & LEAD ORIGINAL VIDEO. THANK ME LATER
Girl crush, little big town is another good one
CAM ... Diane or Burning House
Goodbye Earl is great and the video is hilarious!
she was cheated on by her husband and going through a divorce she is singing about the other way and she is awesome
The emotion is 💯% real.Having to sing from the side chick perspective,while just discovering her husband's side chick is pretty damn hard
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!
There’s a Reba duet called “Does he love you” that’s both sides of the cheating
But it should be the linda Davis original version not Kelly clarkson
@@gloriebluestein9721 yeah it’s kinda funky when you realize at the time Reba is Kelly’s MIL.... although Oklahoma
Defiantly the original with Linda Davis!!
Reba bein ok with the side chick
And the video is AWESOME lol
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.
you were too wrapped up, and missed the tears. the whole point of the song.
to busy patting himself on the back.
I cant stand this dude that's why I don't like watching him and his dumb comments
Definitely a jack ass
Couldn't agree more... He missed it all
Holla whle you're at it, hit up Brooks and Dunn's "Believe" when you go back to looking at men's songs.
Yes yes yes! That song is amazing
She Was Going Through A Divorce When She Was Making This Video
🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
you deserve those!!! i’ve seen a lot of reactions to this song but never seen someone catch on that fast! bravo 👏🏼
"She has a few options. Number 1: Homicide"
I died laughing
Listen to Girl Crush by Little Big Town....the twist in it is awesome af and I’ve never heard a song with that kinda concept before!!!!!!!
Have to do this one. Awesome song
@@dustyhead3126 agreed
Do this song and you will end up doing a week of Little Big Town

Kelly Clarkson ( piece by piece) the American idol finally version!! Lots of emotion in that performance
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.
I think thats first reaction I seen for this video where the person is bopping instead of nearly in tears watching her break down making the video
Thats his way of hiding emotions... Hes done it on other songs.... No judgement though
To busy patting himself on the back

She is an awesome singer! She was raised like 3 miles from my house and I graduated with her little sister and my wife graduated with her brother
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.
If they’ll cheat with you, they’ll cheat on you! Love her voice so much!
"I don't think she'd make a #1 hit talking about a homicide" Carrie Underwood & Miranda Lambert, take your pick. lol
Martina Mcbride Where would you be, & Whatever you say. Both great songs. I'll be waiting thanks.
A hit song about homicide "two black Cadillacs"
There's always "Goodbye Earl" too :)
Love this song. How about some Carrie Underwood.
you really have the perfect mix of being smart and quick in catching what the songs are about, as well as being super fun and entertaining to watch!
Country music got a love song for everyone. No matter for anyone relationship
I have watched a LOT of listeners hearing a song for the first time.
I have even cried with them, but I can honestly say, I haven't yet seen one as funny as yours.
... .thanks for the laughs❗️
Wow I’m impressed you figured out she was a “side check” within the first 20 seconds of the song.
I do recommend Little Big Town "Girl Crush" great band with 2 females
Anyone who can watch this with a dry eye might not be someone I need to know. So powerful. ☺️
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.

this song always hits close to home. Even after 15 years. Her emotions in the song....😢😢😭😭😭
You’re the first reactor that I’ve seen figure the story line out on this spot on!!! 🏆 🏆🏆🏆🏆🙌🏻
“She has some options... number one: homicide.” 😂
TRISHA YEARWOOD! "Walk away Joe"; "She's in Love with the boy"; "How do I Live" "Wrong side of Memphis"; "That's what I like about You"
She didn't write this song because of her breakup. She wrote it several years before and it was inspired by Reba's "Does He Love You".
www.cmt.com/news/1578707/the-story-behind-sugarlands-stay/

Sugarland's song Babe gives you the perspective of the wife. Great song
You should check out "housewife's prayer" by pistol annies. It was my jam when I was married. Lmao.
Jennifer Nettles wrote this song about a personal past relationship.
First and foremost, Jennifer is being curious in writing AND singing this song from her HUSBAND'S mistress's POV.
What a woman!!!
Love your videos brother man!! Side note: the guy playing the guitar, his name is Christian and he is from Pigeon Forge!!!
Jennifer Nettles was literally the other woman at one time. This song is her true story
Okay... With that homicide comment... Means you gotta do Ashley McBryde's trilogy-- One Night Standards, Martha Divine, and Hang in There Girl.
This woman can sing anything!!!!
Shd found out her husband was having an affair... she wrote it from the other ladies perspective
Do Reba, Carrie, Trisha and Faith. You could also do Martina
Have Fun!! Great woman in country
Hey Holla! Sounds like you need to listen to Reba McIntyre and Linda Davis duet "Does He Love You". You'll definitely want the live version in the red dress at the music awards show!

Powerhouse metal female Nightwish
Loved your options. Dexter was awesome! There are a few #1 songs about homicide 😂🤣😂
The last course is from the "main" chick's point of veiw. Lol
She played Dolly’s mom last year in the Coat of many Colors movie ..
Finally somebody who gets the last meaning of the song.... just stay with her.
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.

U want some country woman.... Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, Lorrie Morgan, Pam Tillis, Martina Mc Bride, Shania Twain are just a few
Ashley Mcbride "girl going nowhere" or "Bible and a .44" coolest chick in country music
Carrie Underwood - Temporary Home
Kelsea Ballerini - Peter Pan and Homecoming Queen
Little Big Town - Tornado and Your Side of the Bed
Kelly Clarkson - Piece by Piece (live at American Idol)
Reba McEntire. Whoever's in New England, She thinks his name was John
Females in country! Check out Brandi Carlile solo and her country super group The Highwomen 🙌🙌
Also, Alison Krauss. She's phenomenal.
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
Got that faster than any of the other reactors fer sure
Ashley McBryde needs to be in your women of country run here, Holla. She is the best thing to come into country music since Jennifer Nettles.
She is the side piece her. I dig the way she figures out through this, that she doesn't need to live like this. And, btw, the emotion is REAL! She was going through some shit when she did this video and it really came through.
You are one of the few reactors to pick up the story so quickly. Good job
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.

Yes she was real emotional going through a divorce is hard she was genuine
You should check out "Looking Back Now" by Maggie Rose or "2 Black Cadillacs" by Carrie Underwood. They're both about cheating and homicide
With You I Am - Cody Johnson
Please react to The Band Perry- If I die young. It’s maybe the most iconic song of the last 15 years
If you want hit homicide songs try - the night the lights went out in Georgia by Reba Mcintyre, two black cadillacs by Carrie Underwood, and good bye Earl by the Dixie Chicks
As far as female artists, Jamie Lin Wilson singing Ordinary People. Or Give It Away by The Trishas
Very good. You called that quick.
The Keith Whitley song was about his wife who was married before and lost her husband!!!
You should do Sugarland's Babe...in that one she's the wife...written by Taylor Swift...awesome song
Also Little Big Town's Girl Crush...another Taylor Swift song
You are the 1st reactor I've seen absolutely pick up on the twist
The tears and emotions were real but you missed it clowning around
Homicide songs can be number 1 hits in country music. It has happened. Perfectly ok
She can literally sing anything check out her and bon jovi
She is the side chic and finally realized she didn't have to live like that.
You gotta do Alyssa lies by jason michael carol!
Definitely need to listen to "Does He Love You?" and "Whoever's in New England" by Reba McEntire after listening to this.
She was being cheated on and going through a divorce when she sang this song. All the emotions were real. She wanted to sing this for the other woman's perspective. Her voice is amazing.
She sang this song from the other woman's perspective. Very strong emotions
You should check out Patty Loveless, singing : You don't know who I am
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.
I love this song. I have watched so many people react to it and you are one of the only people who has ever realized that she is singing from the perspective of being the side piece. When others do figure it out, it's normally near the end when they do.
That Dexter comment sealed me as a fan lmao
About her being cheated on. Call from home was an excuse from his side of the family, really going to see tge sude piece!
Don't close your eyes, is about a guy who wants the woman he is making love to is thinking of him not someone else.
I read a story someone wrote about a man who fell in love with his brothers widow, and asked that she keeps her eyes open, so she could see it was him not his brother.
