After shooting this video, the producer wanted her to do another take but her guitarist would not allow it. He didn't want her to have to go through it all over again.
@@GOTGames It honestly reminds me of Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born during the final song, I'll Never Love Again, both of which you should definitely check out if you haven't already. Just make sure you see the movie first. 💜
It's awful that she went through this, whatever side she was on but I think his decision paid off because it makes it so much better that she was feeling it so intensely.
Please don't be upset or embarrassed to cry, it's nice to see someone who feels other people's pain so deeply, it would be a more loving and peaceful world if we cared more about each other. Thank you so much.
It was real for her and many women. She was the one being cheated on but wrote this from the perspective of the other woman so they knows this affects more than one person! It’s so raw and emotional!
NO she was not. Sugarland's "Stay" is the first of the duo's chart-topping songs to solely be written by singer Jennifer Nettles. Although she has never lived the storyline of the song, she knew the subject of betrayal is something everyone could relate to, yet she wanted to tell the story from a different viewpoint.
Just as information: on the same day this video was made, she signed the divorce papers, so she was in a high emotional state. Her ex doesn't cheated on her, but earlier she recognized, that there is no song out there from the perspective of "the other woman". Thats why she wrote this song. And cause of her divoce in real life, she felt it even more and thats why she shows and feel so much pain in the video. Great reaction by the way!! :D
She did live through this prior to the video... As the wife. Could imagine doing a song from the perspective of a mistress going through a divorce because your husband had a mistress? Poor Jennifer ❤
Sugarland is a very talented duo, and Jennifer Nettles has one of the most recognizable voices in country. I love this song. My dad had an affair and left us when I was young, so I've always had a very dim view of "the other woman". This song is the first one that's made me think about things in a more compassionate way. I'm very sorry for the pain that you went through, but it's given you a lot of wisdom. Thank you for sharing it at the end of the video. Love yourself. Hug your wife and your beautiful boys.
I love this song. You should also check out “Unlove You”. And yes, Jennifer was being cheated on, yet she wrote and sang this from ‘the other woman’s’ perspective. She really is an excellent singer. ❤️🙏😇
That is not true. Per Jennifer herself: "The song was written four years ago and inspired by Reba McEntire's "Whoever's in New England," which was written from the perspective of a wife whose husband is cheating on her. Nettles knew countless songs written from that viewpoint but none from the other two people involved. She says most people don't realize that even the person who is doing the cheating gets hurt as well."
She wasn't being cheated on, but her relationship had just ended and she channeled THAT emotion into the video. Had nothing to do with the lyrics or anything though.
As a country Texas southern girl, I am so upset at myself that I have not suggested any country music to you. Country music is real life experiences set to rhythm, I love it.
@@armadillotoe I always put it that there was OG/ real country. And then there was pop with a twang. For far too long they've been trying to pass off pop with a twang as actual country. I see it getting better. But then again I don't listen to Too Much mainstream anything😉 At least not anymore
"Baby Girl" is another excellent one. And much more positive. Jennifer Nettles has an astounding voice. I've seen them live a couple times and it's just as good as studio renders. One of my early crushes in music for sure.
This is a powerful song. Jennifer wrote it from the perspective of the other woman. If you want to see Jennifer and Christian in another light try their video of Stuck Like Glue.
I'm not a huge country fan but every now and then I'll hear a song that just instantly makes me appreciate the genre. This is one of them. Please check out 'If You're Reading This' by Tim McGraw when you have a chance. It makes me cry every time I hear it. 😭
This song kills me every single time I hear it. It's one of those "I'm not purposely listening to this" songs. Audio isn't AS hard as seeing her in the video, but anybody who has been through it, feels her pain to the depths of their soul. Great reaction Thx 😎
This one always makes me cry. She TRULY sang this one from the depths of her soul. She didn’t just sing it, she felt it. 💜 SO.. I’d love to hear/watch you react to an artist called Corvyx cover the song “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles. That one always gets me too. 💜 Great reaction!
Jennifer Nettles was going through her own divorce at the same time, so yes, it's very powerful, she started crying at points in the song. She was close to a full breakdown by the end of the song, so yes, there were no re-takes. Upchurch won't steer you wrong
Jennifer Nettles is the singer, and Kristian Bush is the guitarist (he can sing too!) if you want to see another great song from them, check out Life in a Northern Town. It's got features from Little Big Town and Jake Owen, other great country artists.
Jennifer Nettles has one of the best female country voices. I’ve listened to Sugarland since day one. But the first time I heard this song was on a tv show called Duets. Jennifer Nettles, Robin Thicke and two others and they did a contest where they sang duets with the contestants. She sang this and I broke. I was going through a major difficult time and it’s so emotional.
Sugarland is an amazing duo! I've seen them in concert 4 times and they have always put on an amazingly brilliant show. Her vocals live are something else.
I strongly recommend That Girl by Jennifer Nettles (singer on this video). It is a version/response to Dolly Parton’s song Jolene, told from the side of the other woman-Jolene. Listen to Dolly’s song first if you have not heard it. She is THE country queen. 👑
@GOTGames i just came across your channel for the first time and let just tell you... this song makes me get emotional EVERYTIME I hear it. I was new to country music some years ago and i absolutely love it. This band her voice is definitely one of my favorites ❤❤❤.
Yes she went thru this & this was a really hard song for her to do the video for. I would check out Babe written by & featuring Taylor Swift! It's a fantastic song...i think you'd love Taylor's writing when you get to her songs that people haven't heard on the radio-her lyricism is genius! Great reaction!
Country music has that rare ability to evoke an insane amount of emotion. Although my first love will always be alternative music (80s alt/punk) I have learned to respect country very much, suprisingly, as I actually hated it for most of my life. Let the tears flow. It only makes you human. Peace.
Oh my goodness!! I LOVE Sugarland and I am so excited you've done a review. Thank you 😊 This is one of their best songs and it really resonates with me. Thanks again so much for this ❤️
Sugarland was one of my favorite dou's. Jennifer has such passion in her voice and can really emote lyrics. Love that you are reacting to this one. Try their song What I'd give.
If you want a song you'll have a hard time getting thru, check out Concrete Angel by Martina McBride. Absolutely amazing. And she's got a PHENOMENAL voice. Worth the tears, trust me.
My understanding is that Jennifer herself was not in this type of situation but they had a long day and while recording this song they did a lot of different takes and each time it started taking an emotional toll on her. She finally got to the point where she broke down during a take and this is what you see in the video. Kristian, the gentleman playing the guitar, finally call it that they were done as he saw how the song was affecting her emotionally. Singers, good singers, tend to get wrapped up in the songs they sing.
I could see your eyes starting to tear up at the same time mine were, and I've watched this video 30 or 40 times already. This coming from a 63 year old crusty ol Truck driver/biker. Great video, good commentary. Jennifer Nettles did arguably the best rendition of the Christmas Carol oh holy night that I have ever heard. Her vocal control is really impressive. And she puts so much soul and feeling into this video. Good words at the end of the video! You seem to have more wisdom than years!
I did some research on this awhile back. At first it wasn’t personal, she had an idea to write a song from the perspective of the ‘other woman’. She wrote it but didn’t record it until several years later, after she had divorced her cheating husband. So while she wasn’t the ‘Other woman’ in real life, the lyrics obviously hit too close to home.
Hello Luke, I thought I had seen it all in this live.Moral lesson:As long as one lives ,ones learns.Loved it and can't wait for their next.Much love and have a great weekend 🤟❤
The first time I saw this video it WRECKED ME. The pure emotion written all over her face was just heartbreaking. And her voice here…❤️ And I am so sorry you went through that! No one deserves that. So glad you found happiness. 🥰
Yay!! Next to TS, Sugarland are my fav fav fav artist. So amazing to see this on your channel!! I’d recommend already gone from sugarland as well. Also Taylor gave them a song, Babe, and she’s in the video!
I very rarely comment but that was such good advice I just had to. What wonderful things and wisdom you had to share about being broken in relationships. I don’t know where you got those words but thank you for sharing them “there is a version of you before that person and it isn’t this broken person” felt that in my soul. Really need that. Thank you

Nettles knew countless songs written from that viewpoint but none from the other two people involved. She says most people don't realize that even the person who is doing the cheating gets hurt as well. "Even though the person who is cheating might think he or she is getting away with something, they know they aren't living their highest truth," she says. "And they wouldn't be in the situation if they were just happy-go-lucky in the first place. Nobody is happy in this situation." Once she decided to write the song from the other woman's perspective, Nettles was overwhelmed with emotions and says the song pretty much wrote itself. "You know, it was just in a couple of sittings on my couch," she explains. "And once the first line came, 'I've been sitting here staring at the clock on the wall. I've been laying here, praying she won't call,' the story just unfolded." Go look it up for the rest of the article! I'm tired of seeing people commenting that this was about her life and that her husband was cheating...NO IT IS NOT!
The guitarist is Kristian Bush, of the Bush's baked beans fortune. He and his family had a huge falling out and he carved his own path. Did pretty well for himself, as I see it.
Country love! This song is so amazing, and I've always felt one of country's biggest draws is it's ability to reach our experiences. Obligatory suggestion - Delta Rae. They are pretty underrated, fit under the genre of "Southern Gothic", and turned down at least one record label in order to continue making the music they want vs the music they were pressured to. It was a risk but one that is hugely respectable!!! Their stuff is a lot of fun (especially because they tend to switch off who sings lead, depending on the song) They have a few "Tarquin Studio Sessions" videos that are really good - "Scared", "Cold Day In Heaven", and "Run" Other great ones are "All Good People", "No Peace In Quiet", and "Bottom of the River" I think they'd really appreciate the boost to your audience, tbh!!!
We are crying with you. I have never been cheated on, thankfully. My best friend has though, and I spent three days holding her, feeding her and making her care for herself. I couldn't have born the pain alone. I was happy to help her bare it. Pain is halved when you share it. I'm glad you got through that. You are a wonderful guy. Give the boys a cuddle from Ohio, America.
i know when she recorded this her marriage was breaking up and i think her husband was the one with the girlfriend and she wrote this song as the gfriend and it was just killing her but i could be off on that a little im sure someone else knows it better but those emotions were real in this recording and the singing partner said no to another run thru just leave it like it is. i think its more powerful this way esp when she stopped lipsyncing to cry. very powerful. she is an amazing singer songwriter jennifer nettles is her name.
Love your reaction, she was definitely feeling it. She was freshly divorced (he cheated) and she decided to sing it as if she was the other woman. You can even see how somber Kristian (her guitarist) is. Sugarland has a lot of good stuff. For another emotional one, check out Craig Morgan - The Father, My Son, and The Holy Ghost. Find a live version from the Grand Ole Opry, his deep breath at the onset tells you it is hard for him. But he powers through it.
Jennifer Nettles has one of the most powerful voices I’ve ever heard… very similar to Martina McBride… Her vocals and her facial expressions just tug at the heart… Bro- you are spot on with saying her eyes are amazing and touch the soul…. Your emotional response to this song was really cool because I’m right there with you…. Amazing performance ❤
I'm sorry for what you had to go through, but so happy you found someone to heal you and appreciate you. I was married for 17 years and he cheated on me for many of those. Happy to be on my own, trying to discover who I am without being part of a couple, and learning to love who I am as an individual.
Makes you feel for the other woman. People can say that they would never put themselves in this situation until it actually happens. Man or woman, it is not right for ANYONE to treat someone that way. When it happens though you have to be strong cause in the long run it would hurt even more to stay in that situation.
Just watching the video is enough to break your heart let alone the lyrics that accompany it. 😢 Jennifer Nettles has always been one of my top favorite country artists and the songs she performs with Sugarland are always so honest. I would like to recommend a reaction to the song "Love, Me" by Collin Raye and "Don't Take The Girl" By Tim McGraw. Both songs tell beautiful heartful stories that I think you may enjoy.
Jennifer Nettles is one of the sweetest kindest people you will ever meet. I love Sugarland's music. Her Colab with Matt Nathanson is good too. If you want a really fun one from her listen to stuck like glue! Good luck not ripping your heart out on this one..... great review 👏
I have listened to this song so many times and everytime when she gets to the bridge my heart always sinks. Jennifer is as always will be one those vocalist that I always recommend, because you will be taken on an roller coster either from happiness or sadness. Their is one song I would love to see you react to and that is "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" by Eli Young Band. This song is an absolute jam of mine and the video is one that will put a smile on your face. I promise it will be worth it totally.
When you shared your story, it mirrored my own. I only had one partner before my husband and it was hell. He lied. He cheated. He gaslight. I was the girl begging him to love her and I believed his lies for far too long. When I finally forced myself to end it for good, it felt like the world was ending. But five months later I met my now husband and we’ve been together for almost 8 years now. It took him treating me right for me to fully realize just how badly (beyond the lies and cheating) that the first guy had treated me. The mental manipulation he put me through is still something I battle to this day, not ever sure if I can trust what I’m being told, or even if I can trust my own view of reality.
This is a great song and well done. I cannot believe you have not listened to Chris Stapleton! Try the recorded and live versions of "Cold". You can pick just about anything of Chris' and won't go wrong. He is amazing live! Thanks for sharing and your fun reactions!
After shooting this video, the producer wanted her to do another take but her guitarist would not allow it. He didn't want her to have to go through it all over again.
That's so heartbreaking, you could see the hurt she was feeling through the entire song ❤️
And on a side note- Jennifer Nettles voice is one in a million. Just melts me every time she sings. Give her another try on another type of song.
@@GOTGames It honestly reminds me of Lady Gaga in A Star Is Born during the final song, I'll Never Love Again, both of which you should definitely check out if you haven't already. Just make sure you see the movie first. 💜
It's awful that she went through this, whatever side she was on but I think his decision paid off because it makes it so much better that she was feeling it so intensely.
Sugarland has another song that's just as powerful it's called "keep you" do yourself a favor and react to it. It's so powerful
Please don't be upset or embarrassed to cry, it's nice to see someone who feels other people's pain so deeply, it would be a more loving and peaceful world if we cared more about each other. Thank you so much.
Hello Sharyn how are you doing today

What a beautiful voice! This song hits like a bus! Wow! ❣
React to "echo" MV (armaan malik and Eric nam singers it's 🇮🇳 and Korea🇰🇷 collab)
Just as information: on the same day this video was made, she signed the divorce papers, so she was in a high emotional state.

As the wife. Could imagine doing a song from the perspective of a mistress going through a divorce because your husband had a mistress? Poor Jennifer ❤
you can see that even the guitarist has lived it with her, his heart is just breaking having to play for the video

I love this song. You should also check out “Unlove You”. And yes, Jennifer was being cheated on, yet she wrote and sang this from ‘the other woman’s’ perspective. She really is an excellent singer. ❤️🙏😇
Happy to! Such a wonderful voice ❤️

Yes! that song dropped me to my knees.
Yes, Unlove You is one of my favorites. I absolutely love her voice!
As a country Texas southern girl, I am so upset at myself that I have not suggested any country music to you. Country music is real life experiences set to rhythm, I love it.
Well, hello, there fellow Texan girl!
Good country is like blues with a twang.
@@armadillotoe I always put it that there was OG/ real country. And then there was pop with a twang. For far too long they've been trying to pass off pop with a twang as actual country. I see it getting better. But then again I don't listen to Too Much mainstream anything😉
At least not anymore
What part of Texas do y’all live in? I’m in west central…
I’m a nebraska girl (most landlocked state in the US) and country speaks to the way I was raised more than anything.
"Baby Girl" is another excellent one. And much more positive.
Jennifer Nettles has an astounding voice. I've seen them live a couple times and it's just as good as studio renders.
One of my early crushes in music for sure.
I have a big crush on her as well. Her voice is so lovely.
Thank you for the recommendation! Would love to hear it , ❤️
no matter how many times I watch this, I cry...Such a beautiful, REAL song.
Hello Cindy how are you doing today
"If anyone is still watching this..." I watched to the end, thanks for saying what we all were thinking.
Fans...shall we give him WHISKEY LULLABY next???? 😈😈😈😁😁😁🤫🤫🤫😉
The only song to make you actually feel for the other woman
Facts
This is a powerful song. Jennifer wrote it from the perspective of the other woman.
If you want to see Jennifer and Christian in another light try their video of Stuck Like Glue.
I was in a singing group with her in high school, and she’s always sounded so good. Great person, too.
I'm not a huge country fan but every now and then I'll hear a song that just instantly makes me appreciate the genre. This is one of them. Please check out 'If You're Reading This' by Tim McGraw when you have a chance. It makes me cry every time I hear it. 😭
Thank you for the recommendation! Happily check that one out! This was beautiful
Jennifer Nettles has some amazing songs! Check out more Sugarland!
This song kills me every single time I hear it. It's one of those "I'm not purposely listening to this" songs. Audio isn't AS hard as seeing her in the video, but anybody who has been through it, feels her pain to the depths of their soul. Great reaction Thx 😎
Hello Susan how are you doing today
One of the rawest most beautiful voices
Her voice conveys the ache so well. I loved this song before the video. Have you do Brooks & Dunn’s, Believe yet? If not, do.
You should definitely check out Stuck Like Glue. One of my favorite songs of all time. 😍😍😍
This one always makes me cry. She TRULY sang this one from the depths of her soul. She didn’t just sing it, she felt it. 💜 SO.. I’d love to hear/watch you react to an artist called Corvyx cover the song “Gravity” by Sara Bareilles. That one always gets me too. 💜 Great reaction!
When this was made, she was going through a divorce after learning her husband was cheating on her.
Her voice is amazing, but that guitar accompanying her is perfect.
Jennifer Nettles was going through her own divorce at the same time, so yes, it's very powerful, she started crying at points in the song. She was close to a full breakdown by the end of the song, so yes, there were no re-takes. Upchurch won't steer you wrong
This! And we love your emotional reactions ❤️

Keep in mind she is just covering Dream Academy's Life in a Northern Town. Dream Academy had a hit with it in the 80s
Jennifer Nettles has one of the best female country voices. I’ve listened to Sugarland since day one. But the first time I heard this song was on a tv show called Duets. Jennifer Nettles, Robin Thicke and two others and they did a contest where they sang duets with the contestants. She sang this and I broke.

1st time on your channel! Phenomenal song. Jennifer Nettles has that pure, emotional voice. It’s amazing. 💕💕

Sugarland is an amazing duo! I've seen them in concert 4 times and they have always put on an amazingly brilliant show. Her vocals live are something else.
I have always loved this song! So much emotion.
This is my favorite reaction of all time. Many of us have been in this situation and it hurts. What a song. Great, real reaction.
Hello Tracy how are you doing today
I've never seen or heard this song. Thank you for the reaction! 💖 Been There - Done That. 🙄
They won a ton of awards for this song.
I strongly recommend That Girl by Jennifer Nettles (singer on this video). It is a version/response to Dolly Parton’s song Jolene, told from the side of the other woman-Jolene. Listen to Dolly’s song first if you have not heard it. She
is THE country queen. 👑
Hello Suzy how are you doing today
@GOTGames i just came across your channel for the first time and let just tell you... this song makes me get emotional EVERYTIME I hear it. I was new to country music some years ago and i absolutely love it. This band her voice is definitely one of my favorites ❤❤❤.
Yes she went thru this & this was a really hard song for her to do the video for. I would check out Babe written by & featuring Taylor Swift! It's a fantastic song...i think you'd love Taylor's writing when you get to her songs that people haven't heard on the radio-her lyricism is genius! Great reaction!
Oh thank you for the recommendation! ❤️
God bless you. Anyone who can watch this video with a dry eye is probably not someone I want to know. Absolutely beautiful reaction. ❤❤❤
❤️
I love going down this country rabbit hole with you :) Another beautiful song!
she is amazing, been listening for years and still gets me!
When you mentioned Judd said good luck getting through this one, my immediate thought was there's no way 😂
Hello Riley how are you doing today
Jennifer Nettles is a Great Vocalist. from Georgia . I love what you said to the guy that recommended this . You are right very EMOITIONAL Song .
Country music has that rare ability to evoke an insane amount of emotion. Although my first love will always be alternative music (80s alt/punk) I have learned to respect country very much, suprisingly, as I actually hated it for most of my life. Let the tears flow. It only makes you human. Peace.
Nettles voice can lift you and completely break you. She's been killing me for years....
Thanks for sharing your pain. I'm sure you & this song & Jennifer Nettles have helped more people than you'll ever know. No tear was wasted.

Love your reaction to this you are so adorable one of my favorite songs thanks for sharing your story!
Hello Marti how are you doing today
Jennifer Nettles has one of the best vocals I've ever heard. I think STAY won Country Music Song of The Year in 2007. Great song.
I did some research on this awhile back. At first it wasn’t personal, she had an idea to write a song from the perspective of the ‘other woman’. She wrote it but didn’t record it until several years later, after she had divorced her cheating husband. So while she wasn’t the ‘Other woman’ in real life, the lyrics obviously hit too close to home.

And I am so sorry you went through that! No one deserves that. So glad you found happiness. 🥰
If you don't feel this song DEEP, you're soulless. Great reaction, mate. Every emotion you feel watching this honors her honest performance.
I just been introduced to your channel and it’s game on. Her eyes and I also wear my emotions on my sleeves.
I've watched this many, many times and it still gets me. Jennifer has an amazing voice.
Jennifer Nettles voice is AMAZING! I think you would like the group Little Big Town and their song Girl Crush. Such a great group and song.
Yay!! Next to TS, Sugarland are my fav fav fav artist. So amazing to see this on your channel!! I’d recommend already gone from sugarland as well. Also Taylor gave them a song, Babe, and she’s in the video!

You need to hear her sing “I cant unlove you” It will break your heart! 💔 in a good way… lol
The guitarist is Kristian Bush, of the Bush's baked beans fortune. He and his family had a huge falling out and he carved his own path. Did pretty well for himself, as I see it.
She is considered country but she has a great bluesy voice as well.
Seeing you crying watching this reminds me of what I feel every time I watch it. I just want to wrap her in my arms and comfort her
Country love! This song is so amazing, and I've always felt one of country's biggest draws is it's ability to reach our experiences.
Obligatory suggestion - Delta Rae. They are pretty underrated, fit under the genre of "Southern Gothic", and turned down at least one record label in order to continue making the music they want vs the music they were pressured to. It was a risk but one that is hugely respectable!!! Their stuff is a lot of fun (especially because they tend to switch off who sings lead, depending on the song)
They have a few "Tarquin Studio Sessions" videos that are really good - "Scared", "Cold Day In Heaven", and "Run"
Other great ones are "All Good People", "No Peace In Quiet", and "Bottom of the River"
I think they'd really appreciate the boost to your audience, tbh!!!
And now you know who Jennifer Nettles is. She is an amazing voice and actress !
First time seeing your reactions you gained a new subscriber because of this reaction thank you
I don’t often cry at songs, but this gets me… Every. Single. Time.
We are crying with you. I have never been cheated on, thankfully. My best friend has though, and I spent three days holding her, feeding her and making her care for herself. I couldn't have born the pain alone. I was happy to help her bare it. Pain is halved when you share it.
I'm glad you got through that. You are a wonderful guy. Give the boys a cuddle from Ohio, America.
Love Sugarland, and I cried like a baby the first couple times I saw this video 💜
Hello Elaine how are you doing today
It hits home for a lot of us. So emotional
i know when she recorded this her marriage was breaking up and i think her husband was the one with the girlfriend and she wrote this song as the gfriend and it was just killing her but i could be off on that a little im sure someone else knows it better but those emotions were real in this recording and the singing partner said no to another run thru just leave it like it is. i think its more powerful this way esp when she stopped lipsyncing to cry. very powerful. she is an amazing singer songwriter jennifer nettles is her name.
I've watched her video a hundred times and I've cried every single time
Love your reaction, she was definitely feeling it. She was freshly divorced (he cheated) and she decided to sing it as if she was the other woman. You can even see how somber Kristian (her guitarist) is. Sugarland has a lot of good stuff. For another emotional one, check out Craig Morgan - The Father, My Son, and The Holy Ghost. Find a live version from the Grand Ole Opry, his deep breath at the onset tells you it is hard for him. But he powers through it.
I love Sugarland. Jennifer Nettles' voice is incredible.
Hello Marie how are you doing today
Them taking this and turning it around to where it’s the mistress speaking was brilliant !
Hello Sherry how are you doing today
The music executives didn't this song would go anywhere, because it just had a guitar. didn't want her to release it, boy were they wrong.
Good on you for putting this out man! This song/video has broken many a strong heart, mine included!
Jennifer has an amazing voice and this is a great video! Been there done that!!
Hello Janice how are you doing today
Love this song and her voice. Stuck like Glue official video by them is really good
Hello Cindy how are you doing today
I've seen this video for years and cry each time.
Jennifer Nettles has one of the most powerful voices I’ve ever heard… very similar to Martina McBride…
Her vocals and her facial expressions just tug at the heart…
Bro- you are spot on with saying her eyes are amazing and touch the soul…. Your emotional response to this song was really cool because I’m right there with you….
Amazing performance ❤
I'm sorry for what you had to go through, but so happy you found someone to heal you and appreciate you. I was married for 17 years and he cheated on me for many of those. Happy to be on my own, trying to discover who I am without being part of a couple, and learning to love who I am as an individual.
Makes you feel for the other woman. People can say that they would never put themselves in this situation until it actually happens. Man or woman, it is not right for ANYONE to treat someone that way. When it happens though you have to be strong cause in the long run it would hurt even more to stay in that situation.
Just watching the video is enough to break your heart let alone the lyrics that accompany it. 😢 Jennifer Nettles has always been one of my top favorite country artists and the songs she performs with Sugarland are always so honest. I would like to recommend a reaction to the song "Love, Me" by Collin Raye and "Don't Take The Girl" By Tim McGraw. Both songs tell beautiful heartful stories that I think you may enjoy.
That turn into the last verse
Jennifer Nettles is one of the sweetest kindest people you will ever meet. I love Sugarland's music. Her Colab with Matt Nathanson is good too. If you want a really fun one from her listen to stuck like glue! Good luck not ripping your heart out on this one..... great review 👏
I have listened to this song so many times and everytime when she gets to the bridge my heart always sinks. Jennifer is as always will be one those vocalist that I always recommend, because you will be taken on an roller coster either from happiness or sadness.
Their is one song I would love to see you react to and that is "Even If It Breaks Your Heart" by Eli Young Band. This song is an absolute jam of mine and the video is one that will put a smile on your face. I promise it will be worth it totally.
When you shared your story, it mirrored my own. I only had one partner before my husband and it was hell. He lied. He cheated. He gaslight. I was the girl begging him to love her and I believed his lies for far too long. When I finally forced myself to end it for good, it felt like the world was ending. But five months later I met my now husband and we’ve been together for almost 8 years now. It took him treating me right for me to fully realize just how badly (beyond the lies and cheating) that the first guy had treated me. The mental manipulation he put me through is still something I battle to this day, not ever sure if I can trust what I’m being told, or even if I can trust my own view of reality.
Amen time does heal!! Your amazing 😢
Only found you tonight, great channel
♥️♥️♥️
This is my favorite vocal performance across all genres, just so powerful
This is a great song and well done. I cannot believe you have not listened to Chris Stapleton! Try the recorded and live versions of "Cold". You can pick just about anything of Chris' and won't go wrong. He is amazing live! Thanks for sharing and your fun reactions!
Great voice, great song. Would love to experience your reaction to Whiskey Lullaby (Brad Paisley ft. Allison Krause)
