Morgans version of You are my sunshine with Chris on backing vocals is killer!!! And Chris, Morgan and a guitar on NPR's tiny desk concert is well worth a watch
Everyone needs to hear this is an unbelievable performance I’ve heard it a dozen times and I can’t get tired of it. I am at 74-year-old man and I dig it. The young man is moderating this notice things about it that I had not noticed is that run on the Oregon that guitarist in the background and I love those horns that’s the way to reproduce it as he suggested it would be a hit by itself.
These 2 have been friends for a while now and the producer of the cma’s didn’t want to give Stapleton a performance spot bc his songs weren’t on the radio so he asked what if I got jt to do it too and so they gave him this long spot 😂 kudos to jt for helping his buddy out bc Chris blew up after this and rightfully so!!
stephanie vangossen yes he did. His manager told this story on a podcast I listen to. They were shocked at how many but he was big in Nashville bc of his song writing for other country artists
It’s a cool story. And it really made a difference. I know I didn’t know who he was until that night. And he got album of the year. That just blew my mind.
What in the world did I just see???? That was unbelievable. Being a worship leader at my church myself I loved the gospel influence! I was wellin up it was so good!!
They all showed out. The world needs more collaborations like this. I wanna see rappers with country artists. Music may fix this worlds hatred for one another. Its at least worth a try. WE ARE ALL ONE! GOD BLESS!
Say something. Look it up. Chris wrote it for JT. JT said.. nah, we doing this one together. And then we're going to make the video in 1 shot. They stepped up the game with the video!!!!💗
Joyel Lee, fabulous recommendation! That video was filmed in one shot start to finish...Not a feat that just any singer or musician can pull off successfully especially with the movement in this one! Plus it’s a kicka$$ song! 😁
Loved your reaction dude! I watched this on TV the night it aired. I paused the dvr, called my wife downstairs and said.... "I think I just saw the best live performance I've ever seen." We go to about 20-30 concerts a year together and re-watched it 5 times back to back right then. Unreal.
This is also why the CMAs are awesome. ALL of the audience views, are other world famous country artists. They root for each other, and genuinely enjoy their fellow artists music.
That band is JT’s band. The Tennessee Kids. They are killer musicians! JT did drink you away as a bonus track or the last song on the 20/20 experience.
I’ve watched the video dozens of times, and just about every reaction to it... And yours fits exactly what I was feeling.... no live performance could be better than this... maybe equal to, but not better.
Y'all THEY WAS HAVIN A PARTY UP IN THERE with that performance and the PLACE was LIT...🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤ They done took us ta CHURCH y'all!!! Morgane is Chris's wife singing with them and she's PHENOMENAL❣❣❣ Great reaction...thanks y'all❣ BTW one of the reasons I like and respect y'alls channel so much...y'all DON'T feel the need to be droppin the *f* bomb!! JT = versatile and diverse!! Blessings 👏💙👏 #diehardchrisstapletonfan #permanentstankface #stapletonishisowngenre #bestcmaperformanceeva
JT's wife hired Chris to perform at JT's birthday party--that's how they met. JT thought Chris was so talented he got him to collaborate on a song & the rest is history.
I love your genuine reaction to this. I felt the same way. My chin was on the floor for days afterward. Actually it still is. I revisit this performance often. Didn't seem like an awards show performance, felt like a concert. One of the best, if not THE best, I've ever seen/heard. I was already a JT fan but this put Chris on the map. Now he's my favorite artist of all time. Talk about a soulful performance, check TH-cam for a video (I think was on a cruise ship or something) when he was with the Steel Drivers. This was way before Chris donned his signature hat and contacts. He's wearing glasses and a black tee, sitting down, singing his heart out. Song is called 'Fool Me Again '... He looked like one of my cousins Dungeons and Dragons playing buddies back then (no offense to them, or Chris). Like I said, no Don Williams inspired hat or tailored jackets or anything. Just Chris, and his pure, core awesomeness. He's truly amazing, as a singer, musician, songwriter, entertainer, friend, Husband and dad (according to the people who know him, on those last 3). A great dude, and I feel that we're all blessed by his presence. Thank you for getting outside your wheelhouse and giving Chris a chance. I truly enjoyed your review (this one and the TN Whiskey one). I was born and raised in TN, and for those that don't know, most people are referring to Jack Daniels when speaking of TN Whiskey. Also, in JT's song 'Drink You Away ' I've heard people repeat the lyric as "I've tried Jack, I've tried Gin ..." but it's not that. It says "I've tried Jack, I've tried Jim (as in Jim Beam whiskey) and all of their friends..." Play on words, using Liquor names as first names of " friends "... Calling these liquors with proper names" friends". Sorry if I'm over explaining. I have ADHD and have trouble staying focused. I apologize. I subscribed to your channel today and look forward to seeing more of your content. Thank you!
This performance in 2015 is what introduced me to Chris Stapleton. Where had I been? 🤷♂️ Love his voice. When I first saw him I was like who’s this guy? And then he started singing... wow... And Justin Timberlake can literally do anything… he’s like king Midas… Everything he touches is gold
Just absolutely LOVE your reaction to this one. Although I agree with some of the other comments, you need to give props to Morgane Stapleton too. Going over to your reaction to "Say Something" next. Can't wait to see what you do with that one. LOL Thanks Tae for doing this.
David Allen Coe actually was the first to sing Tennessee whiskey back in the early 70's...but loved your video and Chris and Justin friggin rocked this!!
I read an article about this performance. The article said that they hired a gospel band to play in the background. So you hit the nail on the head. This is one of the best performances I've ever heard!
8:30 - yeah, that band is kick a**. That horn section, that organ - the entire package - they just killed it. You can tell they enjoy playing together, too.
This song as performed by Chris Stapleton *IS* itself a remake of the George Jones classic from about 40 years ago. And I'm also on the the Morgane bandwagon. That lady is an AWESOME singer herself. She makes that harmony.
I thoroughly ENJOYED watching your reaction to this video. YOU ROCKED it, young man!. Props to you from an old woman. I loved it. Thank you. You made my day. I'm not a big country fan either. But this was excellent. Such talent! And it reminded me of some church elements too. ;)
Look who showed up to the country music awards!! this is what you get a country music concert Bubba!! Your reaction was basically mine when I seen this live happening I seriously quit breathing and I felt like my stomach is been doing sit ups for a week seriously oh my shit goes sideways I put this performance song secondly thank you for playing both songs because I keep forgetting the second song on a lot of these sites if you willSo thank you for not chopping it up I’m just playing the first half because the people who just seen the first half on a reaction they missed the whole entire ending👏🏻👏🏻
Best reaction I've seen from you. And of all the reactions I've seen, you are the only one to acknowledge Chris Stapleton's powerful, straight from a higher power, primal scream towards the end of the song. As hard as I'm, concerned it made the whole song. You're also the only one who pointed out the church influences. JT is not above finding a choir or church organist to enhance his performance so I definitely give you props for that.
Justin And Chris are good together and they blew the roof off this place Good reaction. You need to hear SAY SOMETHING written by J T and he and Chris KILL It.
First time checking your reactions out. Loved it. I've seen quite a few reactions to this performance. You are the first to react to the organ. I didn't even really until you mentioned it. It added another layer to the performance. It was like having church! New subscriber!
Thank You for that comment Tai!!! I've been waiting for someone to make that note about the chord progressions and basically ALL of the instrumental on Drink You Away! You don't just get that in any "regular" church service. It makes me miss the music from my former home church; that was us every Sunday. I return to this every so often since the original performance just for the appreciation. They did that!
Just an epic performance I just found this past year myself and I gotta say I've been hooked ever since!!! Check out Justin & Chris song Say Something I think you'll really enjoy it!! Thanks for a great reaction you got a new sub for their this one!!!!!
I have been a Jt fan for 15 years yes I was a boy band junkie and jt was always so great ... but then you add some of chris Stapleton soul and you have not only music but a life changing experience !!
J Timb and C Stape are great together. Chris Stapletons wife sings backup vocals and she is amazing. Saw Chris in Grand Rapids,Michigan in November of 2017 at Van Andel Arena. A truly Amazing concert!
Glad to see you react to this performance. I was anti country my whole life and my brother (who is all country) turned me on to this performance shortly after it aired. I then realized I am not anti country I'm anti bad music, and this my friend is far from bad music. Now I'm a Stapleton fan.
Mini Bio: ---Chris was a extremely well known prolific songwriter long before his association with Justin Timberlake. His songwriting hits for famous singers was/is impressive. Chris enjoys his musical freedom. With all his own hits he still only has made few music videos. He does mainly live performances and is one of the very very few singers that can perform without technical voice/music support and sound better than in the studio. That's called REAL (RAW) music. Chris was co-writing the song "Say Something" and the album "Man of the Woods" with JT when he was asked to perform it with him. Other notable singers that come to Chris for songs are: Adele, George Strait, Kenny Chesney, Lee Ann Womack, Alison Krauss, Josh Turner, Sheryl Crow, Joss Stone, Darius Rucker, Blake Shelton, Alan Jackson, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Miranda Lambert, Brooks & Dunn, Travis Tritt, and more. He has been in 2 bands (Steeldrivers & The Jompson Bro.) and has been a winner of Country Music Awards. I watched him on a Joe Rogan podcast and he is a shy and humble guy. Joe tried to get him to gossip about others but he is a master of deflection and refused to talk dirt on anyone. An all round trustworthy guy but extremely aggressive about his music. People think he is a late bloomer but he actually likes control over his music. It was his wife that persuaded him to go further into the industry.
Another fun fact: JT was fangirling on Chris so much that JT's wife invited Chris to sing at JT's birthday so JT could meet him. He and Justin have been friends ever since. Some think Justin is riding a rising star but IMO there is no agenda there. They both have mutual respect for each others talent and like to perform together.
Loved your reaction. The CMAs was when I first discovered Chris Stapleton and was awestruck. Listened to every Chris Stapleton song after this performance. Love the duet he did with Little Big Town. They are a country band in the audience. They too are Stapleton fans. Awesome reaction!

This was the collaboration none of us knew we needed. EPIC. FLAWLESS. PERFECTION.
Can we give Morgane Stapleton her props for *killing* on those high-harmonies? That beautiful lady is every bit as talented as her husband!
👏👏👏YESSSS👏👏👏
Morgans version of You are my sunshine with Chris on backing vocals is killer!!! And Chris, Morgan and a guitar on NPR's tiny desk concert is well worth a watch
Morgan and Chris are on of the best harmonies of all time for sure!
Love her voice
You’ve got to hear Morgan’s Stapleton version of you are my sunshine...
In my opinion....the BEST performance on any awards show ever!
Check out Heart at the Kennedy Center Honors
@@jackaroe Nancy got the craziest good ass voice since the 70s!
Pink has several great live performances on video shows. And Heart’s cover of Stairway to Heaven at the Kennedy Center Honors is up there too.
@@jackaroe YES!Jack I 100% agree.Great call.Im a hugh fan.Nancy is just as lovely as she can be and bad ass too.✌
JT is a born entertainer. His confidence comes with performing his entire life. And...his band is phenomenal 😍 the Tennessee kids
This had to be one of the, if not the, best CMA performances.
Everyone needs to hear this is an unbelievable performance I’ve heard it a dozen times and I can’t get tired of it. I am at 74-year-old man and I dig it. The young man is moderating this notice things about it that I had not noticed is that run on the Oregon that guitarist in the background and I love those horns that’s the way to reproduce it as he suggested it would be a hit by itself.
Easily, maybe of any awards show.
I agree, Zach brown band and james Taylor had it before this happened(IMO) but this blew that away
This is easily top 5 all time live tv performances ever. EVER.
No lie ! 🙌🏽
Completely agree. Another top 5 is Disturbed on Conan covering Sound of Silence...epic
These 2 have been friends for a while now and the producer of the cma’s didn’t want to give Stapleton a performance spot bc his songs weren’t on the radio so he asked what if I got jt to do it too and so they gave him this long spot 😂 kudos to jt for helping his buddy out bc Chris blew up after this and rightfully so!!
Kayla Miller Chris swept the awards that year at CMA.
stephanie vangossen yes he did. His manager told this story on a podcast I listen to. They were shocked at how many but he was big in Nashville bc of his song writing for other country artists
It’s a cool story. And it really made a difference. I know I didn’t know who he was until that night. And he got album of the year. That just blew my mind.
What in the world did I just see???? That was unbelievable. Being a worship leader at my church myself I loved the gospel influence! I was wellin up it was so good!!
You and Iam Tae should both listen to Carrie Underwood & Vince Gill th-cam.com/video/dnvg0OtupuI/w-d-xo.html
Justin’s dad is a worship leader, every once and I while he takes you to church with his performances.
Timberlake and Stapleton was a match made in heaven.
Tennessee Whiskey was originally done by David Allan Coe then George Jones,but Chris Stapleton took it to a whole new level.
Thank you I knew it was an old country song but did know who sang it and you are right about a whole new level
Chris S made it completely different
Which make it awesome
I love people who love good music!
and the girl singing with them is Chris Stapleton wife
I watch this reaction all the time. It's one of my favorites. Justin really did something with that "Drink You Away".
Tae’s reaction when Chris belts out that high note towards the end is hilarious and 100% accurate.
"Tennessee Whiskey" does not need a remix because it is perfect the way it is!
They all showed out. The world needs more collaborations like this. I wanna see rappers with country artists. Music may fix this worlds hatred for one another. Its at least worth a try. WE ARE ALL ONE! GOD BLESS!
Chris Stapleton didn’t write or was not the first to perform Tennessee Whiskey but his recording blew it into Outerspace😎😎
Say something. Look it up.
Chris wrote it for JT. JT said.. nah, we doing this one together. And then we're going to make the video in 1 shot.
They stepped up the game with the video!!!!💗
Joyel Lee, fabulous recommendation! That video was filmed in one shot start to finish...Not a feat that just any singer or musician can pull off successfully especially with the movement in this one! Plus it’s a kicka$$ song! 😁
The Band ist amazing !! „The Tennessee Kids“ they’re since 2012 with JT. They tour with him, everything. Just amazing 🔥
You got a new subscriber here! I’ve been trying to find anybody to hear that church organ back there! Finally! From one church kid to another...🙌🏼👏🏼
Justin's band, The Tennessee Kids. honest to god makes justin 6000 times better than he already was. And that says a lot bc he already is amazing.
You’re the only person who commented on that great organ. Thank you
After seeing this performance I bought Justin's track🔥 Love this song!
Loved your reaction dude! I watched this on TV the night it aired. I paused the dvr, called my wife downstairs and said.... "I think I just saw the best live performance I've ever seen." We go to about 20-30 concerts a year together and re-watched it 5 times back to back right then. Unreal.
This performance was the first time I heard Chris Stapleton sing. Fell in love with him and his wife Morgane. Glad you liked it so much!
The band is just as much a part of this presentation as anyone up there. Absolutely FANTASTIC band.
This is also why the CMAs are awesome. ALL of the audience views, are other world famous country artists. They root for each other, and genuinely enjoy their fellow artists music.
That band is JT’s band. The Tennessee Kids. They are killer musicians! JT did drink you away as a bonus track or the last song on the 20/20 experience.
I’ve watched the video dozens of times, and just about every reaction to it...
And yours fits exactly what I was feeling.... no live performance could be better than this... maybe equal to, but not better.
I’ve watched this so many times. It still amazes me!!! Has to be in top 3 award show performances of all time.
Thank you,great reaction. Chris,s wife was singing with them too. Look up Vince Gill and Carrie Underwood doing How great thou art.
Justin is one of those artists that somehow sounds better live then on recording. It’s unreal.
This was one of the BEST live performances I’ve ever seen. Gold.
My favorite live performance of all time!!
Wow! Church, blues, country, the holy spirit. Them boys & Morgane saaaang. Justin's band is all that. They took us to church!
That's one of those videos you don't want to end... Love stuff like that
Sing it Chris.. hold my drink! WOW!!!
These two feed off each other!!!! Hell yeah!!!
Love it, they each took the other to a whole other level!!
Still THE best live performance at an award show I’ve seen
Let's not forget Morgan Stapleton.
Morgane is owed ALL the props. *ALL* of them.
Y'all THEY WAS HAVIN A PARTY UP IN THERE with that performance and the PLACE was LIT...🔥🔥🔥🔥❤❤❤❤ They done took us ta CHURCH y'all!!! Morgane is Chris's wife singing with them and she's PHENOMENAL❣❣❣ Great reaction...thanks y'all❣ BTW one of the reasons I like and respect y'alls channel so much...y'all DON'T feel the need to be droppin the *f* bomb!! JT = versatile and diverse!! Blessings 👏💙👏 #diehardchrisstapletonfan #permanentstankface #stapletonishisowngenre #bestcmaperformanceeva
They blew the top off the building that night
JT's wife hired Chris to perform at JT's birthday party--that's how they met. JT thought Chris was so talented he got him to collaborate on a song & the rest is history.
“I tried Jack, I tried Jim, I tried all of their friends”. Been there and done that.
Justin Timberlake birth place is Memphis TN , he grew up with soul and he let's everyone know where he came from -- he's very proud
Seeing them sing those runs live is pretty magical.
Stapleton's wife is killing it too
Nashville was blown AWAY
Brilliant. Love both of them two different talents coming together.! 🎶🎶🎶🎶💙💙💙💞

Love the fact you picked up on the organist!!!!
Yessssssss
Just absolutely LOVE your reaction to this one. Although I agree with some of the other comments, you need to give props to Morgane Stapleton too. Going over to your reaction to "Say Something" next. Can't wait to see what you do with that one. LOL Thanks Tae for doing this.
I love seeing everyones reaction to Chris. Once in a generation talent.
The organist took it all the way down the road to church!
JT is todays Elvis & MJ...….Chris Stapleton is his own legend in the making Fam....
This song wasn’t written by Chris Stapleton. It was originally done by David Allen coe many years ago.
But chris totally switched
Tennessee whiskey up
Coe wrote it but Chris rocked it..
@@ramonaestrada601 Coe didn’t write it... a pair of songwriters named Dean Dillon and Linda Hargrove wrote it.
Justin is from Memphis and grew up in a Baptist church. Drink you away is his song
Tennessee Whiskey is actually a cover from David Allan Coe...but Chris made it his for sure!
David Allen Coe actually was the first to sing Tennessee whiskey back in the early 70's...but loved your video and Chris and Justin friggin rocked this!!
literally the BEST CMA performance ....evaaaaa...thanks for showing and lovin' it!! welcome to the joy...:)
@10:55 i half expected JT to break out a "bring it on down to Liquorville!"
To say I got goosebumps is....I...there are no words for that
Some said that Justin couldn't hang with Chris. They BLEW THE ROOF OFF!
You are the FIRST reaction of many that I've seen to mention the organist. I LOVE IT. I subscribed for that alone. ❤️
I read an article about this performance. The article said that they hired a gospel band to play in the background. So you hit the nail on the head. This is one of the best performances I've ever heard!
This is Justin Timberlake band. Their name is Tennessee Kids. They do all his shows
8:30 - yeah, that band is kick a**. That horn section, that organ - the entire package - they just killed it. You can tell they enjoy playing together, too.
There is a song by Justin Timberlake ft. Chris Stapleton called Say Something. It's amazing! Amazing location for the video & they did it in one take.
This song as performed by Chris Stapleton *IS* itself a remake of the George Jones classic from about 40 years ago. And I'm also on the the Morgane bandwagon. That lady is an AWESOME singer herself. She makes that harmony.
This was the CMA'S ( country music awards). Justin is from Memphis,Tennessee, & he grew up singing in a baptist church.
actually his father was the choir director in that Baptist church
Two thumbs up! Best CMA performance ever! Phenomenal vocals and band.
Drink you away is Justin's song and Tennessee whiskey is david allen coe's song that Chris redid I love this performance💕
I thoroughly ENJOYED watching your reaction to this video. YOU ROCKED it, young man!. Props to you from an old woman. I loved it. Thank you. You made my day. I'm not a big country fan either. But this was excellent. Such talent! And it reminded me of some church elements too. ;)
Never saw this performance because you don't watch the Country Music Awards. By far one of the best live performances ever.
Justin Timberlake is effortlessly cool
So true !
Definitely the BEST CMA performance of all time! Brought tears & gave me goose flesh ❤
Hands down the best CMA performance ever...
Look who showed up to the country music awards!! this is what you get a country music concert Bubba!! Your reaction was basically mine when I seen this live happening I seriously quit breathing and I felt like my stomach is been doing sit ups for a week seriously oh my shit goes sideways I put this performance song secondly thank you for playing both songs because I keep forgetting the second song on a lot of these sites if you willSo thank you for not chopping it up I’m just playing the first half because the people who just seen the first half on a reaction they missed the whole entire ending👏🏻👏🏻
One of the best CMA performances EVER!
I wish I was there lol best performance ever
Morgan is the Strawberry wine that makes Chris Stapleton the Brown liquor smooth. Justin is Miller lite
Best reaction I've seen from you. And of all the reactions I've seen, you are the only one to acknowledge Chris Stapleton's powerful, straight from a higher power, primal scream towards the end of the song. As hard as I'm, concerned it made the whole song. You're also the only one who pointed out the church influences. JT is not above finding a choir or church organist to enhance his performance so I definitely give you props for that.
So much SOUL, LOVE THIS song!!!❤️❤️
Nice to know I'm not the only one to involuntarily tear up from insanely amazing music!!!
Morgan Stapleton on her own would blow them away!!
Justin And Chris are good together and they blew the roof off this place Good reaction. You need to hear SAY SOMETHING written by J T and he and Chris KILL It.
First time checking your reactions out. Loved it. I've seen quite a few reactions to this performance. You are the first to react to the organ. I didn't even really until you mentioned it. It added another layer to the performance. It was like having church! New subscriber!
The band is Justin's and they are called The Tennessee Kids. They are AMAZING and honestly help make Justin what he is. I'm sure he would agree 100%.
Thank You for that comment Tai!!! I've been waiting for someone to make that note about the chord progressions and basically ALL of the instrumental on Drink You Away! You don't just get that in any "regular" church service. It makes me miss the music from my former home church; that was us every Sunday.

Just an epic performance I just found this past year myself and I gotta say I've been hooked ever since!!! Check out Justin & Chris song Say Something I think you'll really enjoy it!! Thanks for a great reaction you got a new sub for their this one!!!!!
I have been a Jt fan for 15 years yes I was a boy band junkie and jt was always so great ... but then you add some of chris Stapleton soul and you have not only music but a life changing experience !!
I remember watching it live. Unforgettable.
Facts!!! County
Church and those Boyz are straight masterpiece!!
J Timb and C Stape are great together. Chris Stapletons wife sings backup vocals and she is amazing. Saw Chris in Grand Rapids,Michigan in November of 2017 at Van Andel Arena. A truly Amazing concert!
Glad to see you react to this performance. I was anti country my whole life and my brother (who is all country) turned me on to this performance shortly after it aired. I then realized I am not anti country I'm anti bad music, and this my friend is far from bad music. Now I'm a Stapleton fan.
