Saw this after my comment.
The tears were real, she was going through a pretty nasty divorce at the time. Although she has stated that her husband wasn’t cheating, she did say that there are a million break up songs out there, but she had never heard one from “the other woman’s” perspective. Either way, she has an amazing voice! Check out “Something More”. Also, they were the band that was about to take the stage on the terrible Indiana State Fair stage collapse of 2011 where a few people lost their lives.
Added that one to the list -Dustin
Also, this song was written in a way to allow the "listener to determine" who the "other" woman was. The "first" woman was never identified throughout the song. While most cheaters will "always" be a cheater she could have been fighting save her relationship as maybe she felt she was the reason he was feeling distant from her. This song leaves a lot to the imagination of the listener!
I think I heard somewhere that they had to redo this video 3 or 4 times because the emotions were too much for her to sing. I think what we have is the right amount of right amount of tears.
@@baknopp0517 I don't agree with that at all. One of the first things she says is "it's just another call from home, you'll get it and be gone". Makes it pretty obvious she's the other woman.
The tears were real. She was going through a divorce. The guitarist wanted to stop filming her, he couldn’t stand to see her in so much pain. They decided to continue. She wasn’t cheating in real life. She had heard Reba McEntire’s song Whoever’s In New England that deals with a wife being cheated on. Jennifer Nettles decided to write a song from the other side.
We now suspect that was a form of catharsis for her. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts also the person playing the guitar throughout the song later said the entire video was done in one take and he told the person that produced it "i hope you got everything cause she's NOT F@#'ing singing it again" the producer was like "we're good"
Who wasn't cheating in real life?
Those tears are real. Yes it’s from the other woman’s point of view. And yes she did leave him. I definitely don’t condone cheating….I’ve been cheated on too many times to count and I would NOT wish that on my worse enemy. But I love this song cuz of how powerful it is. And how it hits right in the feels. I commend you two for your honesty and your reaction. Thank you!!! I love your videos…you guys make me laugh and smile! Thank you!!!
Hey Tina, I did see on this channel! This is one of the songs that I love singing at karaoke. Actually, it's my warm-up song at the beginning. At the very end when I sing it, I add the words "why don't you stay." She has such a powerful voice! I need to find a song that she sings that will showcase just how powerful her voice is for these guys!
Tina, are you on discord?
Fuck my worst enemy. Hand me the razors, salt, and bamboo reeds. Commitment means everything.
This song was her story. She wrote it in the prospective of the woman that broke up her marriage.
@@LadyGator1983 yes
The reason this song resonates with me is that my husband would leave me every time his drug addiction called. I felt like the mistress in our marriage. This song gave me the strength to leave.
Good. For. You! - Keith
Thanks Keith, I appreciate your support
Omg, I could literally shed tears for you.
The singer was in the middle of a divorce when this was recorded (that's why those tears seem so real... they are).
She is singing from the perspective of the other woman even though she, in her personal situation, was not the other woman.
It's really easy to not feel any sympathy for the other woman but I do feel like this song does a good job in capturing the perspective, even if you don't agree with the choices.
You don't necessarily have to like the song to appreciate how well it captures the emotional turmoil of a woman who's gotten herself into that position.
" I do feel like this song does a good job in capturing the perspective, even if you don't agree with the choices."
I have to completely agree with that. - Keith
It really is an interesting perspective. Even if you make a decision with the understanding of the consequences, it can be difficult to anticipate or control your emotions. People make mistakes. They can hurt both others and themselves. What really matters is a person's ability to learn from those mistakes. Their ability to grow and see how their actions will not only effect themselves but others. And how the actions of others may or may not change just because you have.
Thank you, Cassandra
A song I'd recommend is "Stuck Like Glue" from Sugarland. I began to really appreciate Jennifer Nettles when I saw her in the movie Coat of Many Colors. I read somewhere that Jennifer Nettles was very emotional during the making of the video to Stay, and that they had to do several takes, but the guitar player finally said that's enough because she was in turmoil.
Added a vote for Stuck like glue -Dustin
Stuck Like Glue is my favorite Sugarland song. Lots of fun.
I’m glad to see somebody actually see through the message of the song. Listening as a kid I always thought it was the wife… when I figured out she was the side chick it completely changed the song for me.
Sugarland, lead singer Jennifer Nettles, actually have a lot of really really good songs.
We've gotten a lot more requests for her stuff in these comments. - Keith
What I like is the differentiation of lines for each verse. She starts out begging the guy to stay with her and "WE don't have to live this way", then later "I don't have to live this way". She's going through changes from begging to "Hey, I don't have to be the other woman, you stay with her." It's like an epiphany caught in the middle of a song.
Honestly it is good to see two men with so much integrity that this song pissed you off so badly you deleted it. Then in revisting it you still hate the story.
I respect you more for it.
Oh and their song Already Hone is a good one. Stuck like glue is a fun one.
I second your statement!
Thank you.
I've added a vote for stuck like glue and already gone -Dustin
One of their earlier songs that you may enjoy is called Baby Girl. I have to agree with y’all … I’ve never enjoyed this song…
Added a vote for that -Dustin
The last verse makes it-- it's growth. When someone stands up and says I'm worth more than this sh!t. And growth hurts. I appreciate this song. Didn't mean I wasn't saying from the start the same things y'all did. If he cheats with you, he'll cheat on you. Hopefully the "character" will be smarter the next time around. And if we're taking songs... don't know that you'll get many for this one Marc Broussard Home. May be not traditional country but it does have train.
I love "Home" by Marc Broussard. I second this request!
She leaves because she is tired of being strung along, not because she sees that she is in the wrong
"Stuck Like Glue" is a great follow-up listen for a laugh, and an early hit, "Baby Girl" is pretty good.
And I totally get why you didn't like the story in the song. But her delivery was incredible!
It was incredible, and we had to give her props for it. - Keith
Baby Girl would be a great follow up as far as powerful, fun, songs with a positive message
I agree with you on those two songs.
Jennifer wrote this song because she wanted to write a song from the mistress pov and based it on the mistress in Reba's song Whoever's in New England (which you should also react to).
Just Might (Make Ne Believe) is a good one where you can hear her voice.
A good song from Sugarland is Baby Girl. This is one of my favorites from Sugarland, because her voice is amazing.
Added a vote for it -Dustin
I'm going to second someone else's suggestion for His Hands with Jennifer Nettles (the lead singer here) and Brandy Clark. You need to hear her live. Those vocals aren't studio magic.
Added a vote -Dustin
I’d LOVE to see you react to His Hands!!,
She won a Grammy for this performance! I think there should be some heat thrown the man’s way as well. He convinced her he was leaving!
Nice try. We already live in a society where men are held accountable for everything and women are held accountable for nothing. Of course you're more focused on the man when she knew what she was getting into from the start.
@@bfsgman you know in real life she was going through a divorce because her husband cheated on her and left for that woman. Reba had just written a song about being cheated on. She answered with this song from the “other woman’s” perspective. Had never been done before. I think her tears were real but for her own broken heart. I was only reacting to this video. I didn’t come close to saying it was all the man’s fault! I said “as well” meaning they’re both culpable. It takes two. And we don’t get the whole story in the song. We have no idea what was said or told to her. They’re relationship could have started without her knowing he was married? But got to deep. So she’s definitely made bad decisions too, like him. I just think she made this particular song from this perspective to show the heartbreak caused all around by a situation like this. Just because someone might have made bad choices doesn’t negate them from their feelings. Anyway I like how in the end she grew stronger within herself and left the situation!
Hey guys, maybe she fell in love with the cheater before she knew he was married. Maybe she found out later that he was married but by then she was in too deep and was in love.
Not an excuse in my book. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts I agree, it's not an excuse, but a lot of people focus on the "other woman or man" than the actual cheater. She should've ended it if she didn't know as soon as she found out, and if she knew going in, then she's no good , just like the cheater and they deserve each other. I like your channel a lot. You two are great.
Thanks!
Obviously written from the other woman's point of view. The tears were real...but she was in fact the wife who was cheated on. The tears were very real.
I get where your coming from because your stand up guys.Since I don't know the circumstances real or implied that brought the initial behavior to exist Id rather focus on her coming to her self respect.
The silver lining on a very dark cloud. - Keith
I’ve watched almost all your videos. Your reaction to this was exactly what I thought it would be.
Uh oh. Dustin, we've gotten predictable! - Keith
Having known 2 women who were the other woman and spent their lives waiting for whatever he would give them it made me truly hard on those kind of women. I agree "if he cheated with you he will cheat on you" and he will lie about anything.
I've seen that too. Sad. - Keith
Similar message in another song you should check out, Ashley McBride and Carley Pierce’s I Never Wanted to Be That Girl. It’s a beautiful song but with the same mixed feelings. Other Sugarland songs are Want To, All I Wanna Do, and my favorite Baby Girl. Jennifer Nettles has also been recording solo as well as acting. She been on Broadway, can’t remember the production and she stars in the TV story based on Dolly Parton’s childhood (Coat of Many Colors??).
And I appreciate your honesty in the reaction and how you separate the talent from the message in the song. There are songs that I think are beautiful but I won’t listen to them because of the way they make me feel or memories that they bring up.
If everyone liked the exact same things it sure would be a boring world.
Ashley McBride and Carley Pierce’s I Never Wanted to Be That Girl comment i can only second that it's a verry nice song to see 2 sides off the same story
@@duvaldesmarais Difference in the songs is in "Stay" she knew she was the other woman and the in the duet she didn't. Both great songs.
You're not wrong!
I've added votes for the tunes you mentioned -Dustin
Thank You for giving one of the most honest reactions to this video and for catching at the end she was telling him to stay with his wife. Baby girl would be a good one to react too or something totally off the wall for them is Stuck like glue. The video is a Spoof on a woman stalking a man. No gray area with this song you either like it or you hate it. Personally, I think you will laugh your ass off at it.
Added votes for both -Dustin
This is from the perspective of the side woman who the man she loves keeps saying he’s going to leave his wife. A lie. Thankfully at the end she gets up the courage to tell him to stay home
Yeah, at least that. - Keith
She was going through a divorce at the time because of her husband cheating on her, she wanted to do a song being the other woman. It's a powerful song
That had to be cathartic for her. - Keith
Keith at 1:08. Know the feeling. There's a certain year for which I need to buy an encyclopedia yearbook.
Wondering whether the twist in this one will be missed. Let's go.
I've watched other reactors miss the twist in the meaning of the chorus. Also, the reason for Jennifer's emotion may not be commonly known. Granted, using her difficulty as it was recorded is a choice - but the backstory is that she was affected by divorce in her personal life and although the song is from the perspective of the other woman, the other woman was not Jennifer.
Yeah, I don't think we ever assumed Jennifer was the actual, real-life other woman here. - Keith
I used to work security for a concert venue, I got to listen to her practicing this song, no music, no nothing while they did sound checks for her mic.
Recordings don’t do her voice justice.
He was a married man but the end of video she tells him to stay home.
Jennifer actually broke down during the filming. I saw a interview with the director, who said they did 2 takes and he started to ask for a third, when he looked at her and said no, she's a basket case and I'm not putting her through another take.
If you want something that shows off her vocals, Jennifer Nettles (the lead singer here who went solo for a while) does a live version of Bohemian Rhapsody and holds her own to Freddie Mercury
I overheard my wife was listening to that last night. I didn't catch much of it, but it sounded like she was doing Freddie some justice. - Keith
I worked for a company and there was this guy who was married to Wife 1 and while Wife 1 was pregnant, he met and began dating the woman who would become Wife 2. Well, as soon as Wife 2 was pregnant, he met and began dating the woman that would become Wife 3. Guess what happened when Wife 3 turned up pregnant? Yep. He met another woman while Wife 3 was pregnant and I don't know what happened after that. I left the company. But mother of all that is good and holy, these women were so shocked when they found out he had cheated on them and all I could think is how can you justify being surprised when he's proven he's a freaking chronic cheater?!?!?
The song really is amazing, and her voice is outstanding. I like the simplicity of the video itself; just her singing, the guy playing guitar. Nothing to flashy.
I suggest "Coward Of The County" And "The Gambler" by Kenny Rogers.
"It's Your Call" and "Whoever's In New England" by Reba are relationship songs that are more from the wife's POV. And "Does He Love You" and here I have to suggest both the original video she did with Linda Davis and her most recent remake with Dolly. Both are so good. The original plays out like a mini-movie but the one with Dolly is sat more like a conversation between the two women. The one with her and Kelly is great but I think the original video has more emotion.
That is an insane story, and I can't blame wife1, but wife2 and 3... really?
Added votes for the tunes you mentioned -Dustin
@@BourbonCountryReacts It was the craziest thing I have ever seen.
I can appreciate an honest reaction even if we don't completely agree. Another song by sugarland that is in my opinion just as deep and beautiful is "Keep you".
Sorry guys, Love isn't always logical, and she may not even have known he was married when she met him. This wasn't a "performance", the emotions and tears were real, she was going through a rough divorce. Her partner Kristan, the guitar player, stopped in the middle of the recording session, told the producers he couldn't watch her breakdown anymore and left the studio. Your "opinion" might be why you have 10k views but only 758 likes, not a very good ratio.
Check out “want to by sugarland” it might be better to y’all
I get where you're coming from. I have been on all three sides of this type of situation. I also know that this is not a biographical account. Another selection, or rather a couple of choices are Want To and Already Gone. Both are exceptional pieces, but have "cleaner" messages.
Jennifer Nettles and Brandy Clark.."His Hands"..it makes the hair stand up on my neck..Jennifer has an amazing voice and Kristian and her are perfect together...Stay is one of my favorite songs she does
Added a vote for that one -Dustin
The song should be painful and uncomfortable. She has made a bad decision (with some help from the lying sociopath that is leading her on and telling her that he's going to leave his significant other), she is dealing with the consequences of that decision. I can empathize, but I do not sympathize. There's a difference. I can understand her pain and her performance is strong enough to make me feel some of that pain, but I do not feel sorry for her or give her a pass for her role in the situation just because I can understand how painful of a position she is in. She did put herself in that position and she's laying in the bed she made, at least until the final verse when she finally does the right thing (and even that is for the wrong reason).
Also, some recommended songs from Sugarland: Stuck Like Glue, Down in Mississippi (and up to no good), and Just Might (make me believe).
I don't see any flaws in that analysis, added votes for the songs -Dustin
I think my appreciation for this song is in how powerful her voice is and the realization that she made the wrong decision to get involved with a married man and to walk away in the end. Some other great Sugarland songs are Joey, Already Gone, Want to, Baby Girl and Stand Back Up.
Added votes for all of those -Dustin
Yeah I think you guys have misinterpreted it a bit. We aren’t told the beginning of the story. He could have lied to her and she could have believed him to be single for a long time. Then yes she continues in that relationship but life and love is complicated. I respect this song BECAUSE you are brought into ‘the other woman’s’ perspective. It opens a larger conversation about why women all too often accept less than they deserve.
I hope everyone finds this song uncomfortable. I'm glad she found her strength in the end, as hard won as it was. I think songs like these are important despite or maybe because this is a decision made to often. I'm adding that I do not feel sorry for her and the choices she made. I saw someone request Reba's Whoevers in New England as the wife's side, thankfully I'm not that kind of wife, but a great song. Carlie Pierce and Ashley McBride did a wife/girlfriend duet called Never Wanted to be That Girl. As far as Sugarland try my vote goes for Baby Girl
Votes added -Dustin
She was going through a divorce as "the wife" in real life.
Yeah, after reading comments about that, we assume this was cathartic for her. - Keith
Brother's, I commend you for never being in this situation. Her tears are real. And as a man being on the other side. I still think she's my soulmate. After 5 years of waiting for her. But she never left him. And I had to walk away. But this is one of the best songs ever written.
Please check out Take Me As I Am by Sugarland, it is more up beat, but she really performs it well and the message is great.
Hey, You all Nailed it…She did an incredible performance- and is a great singer… but This song Pissed me off too. Maybe cuz I was the one getting cheated on. That was almost 40yrs ago- but I sure understand your views!
Added to the list -Dustin
From the song we don't know if she knew he was married when they got together but that doesn't matter to my point. This song is great vocally and her "performance" is great, however the true message of the song is to wise up and get out of the relationship. that he is using her. The last verse she says I'm up off my knees and next time you want to leave her bed for mine, why don't you stay (with her) because you can't give me what I need. It's not necessarily to make you feel sorry for the other woman but to make you realize that it's a no win situation that causes nothing but pain. to get out of that toxic relationship. Anyway that's my interpretation of the song. A cautionary tale.
We agree that's the end-message. However, the first two verses, she knows she's the "other woman," and continues along anyway. - Keith
Please continue the genuine reactions. I’m here for it.
Those won’t change -Dustin
Y'all are absolutely right. The message of the song without knowing the story behind the song, is not right! It is absolutely unacceptable! If he cheats with you he will cheat on you! I was in a similar situation, but I didn't know he was married until later. Once I found out that was, that was the end of it, but my feelings were still there. As you will learn she was going through a bad divorce with her husband and she wrote this song, or the song was written from the perspective of the other woman. The tears that she expressed were real. Jennifer nettles is her name and she is a powerful singer! Thank you guys for reacting the way men should react. Some men agree with the situation about cheating, but I'm glad you guys didn't!
Yeah, we didn't. And we're honest about it. But then, we always are. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts Honestly, that's one of the things I like about y'all's reactions the most. You give your honest opinion and some reactors don't.
There's a video of her (Jennifer Nettles) By herself singing "O Holy Night" in a radio studio that really shows the power of her voice.
I'll add that one to the list -Dustin
"I don't have to live this way" from "we". Good job noticing, Keith. Maybe one of the other comments will agree with me on this, but I think there's another verse that says she gets up off her knees, (or did I just miss it?) and as Keith said, she grows some strength to leave (and yes, tells him to stay with his wife).
A "good"one for the cheating wife is Garth's "Mama's in the Graveyard, Papa's in the Pen". Anything else by Sugarland is excellent.
Vote added for the garth tune -Dustin
That’s called “Papa Loved Mama” but Garth is super particular about his music so it will likely be hard to find. Also not a good one for the wife…she’s in the graveyard. It’s more of a ol’ red kinda man’s revenge/redemption after being cheated on.
Guys if you didn’t like this one don’t ever get sucked into “White Liar” by Miranda Lambert. They do a very good job of making a good song and video with a bad message.
I think you would love the message in “Dirt”.
I agree with y’all sentiments when looking at it in that way. Fully respect that. HOWEVER the way I saw it when I really began listening to it (I’ve been listening to it since I was waaaay too young to understand what it meant) was that the “phone call” he gets at the beginning of the song was her first confirmation that he’s a cheater. That before then she had suspicions but this was her end all proof. Then the rest of the song is her emotions in that moment. Starts with the ‘I can’t take it, I love him, how could I let him go’ feelings that come followed by the absolute heartbreak of the truth hitting her; and finally her realizing this is wrong he’s trash, and she’s leaving.
I completely don't condone cheating in anyway. I was 1 of the many that requested this song, because Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland) perforce is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING.
We completely agree on the performance. It was truly stellar. - Keith
For a little while, Jennifer Nettles went solo. She did a song called That Girl that isn't quite as powerful as Stay, but you might appreciate it.
Great reaction guys!! I use that expression alot, but it's the truth.
Jennifer Nettles is a seriously powerful singer. The 1st time I heard the song I wrinkled my nose, but as I got to thinking about it, I looked up the lyrics. Your correct in saying that at the end, the story tells the man to stay with his wife.
'Baby Girl' is a good song, I love 'All I want to do', it's fun and has a good light hearted message.
Added vote for those tunes -Dustin
"Stuck Like Glue" is a good, fun song. The video for it is interesting to say the least.
I recommend HIS HANDS it may come up as Jennifer Nettles instead of Sugarland. She is the singer of Sugarland but goes under Jennifer Nettles. You will not like the subject but in a TOTALLY DIFFERENT WAY!! It’s worth your opinion!! I know u will have one which is ofcourse good.. that’s the point of reacting! 🙏 to you both & your family’s! Thanks for serving 🇺🇸! My father & many others have served! God Bless
Vote added -Dustin
No one needs to throw hate anywhere. You guys provide us with a form of entertainment by reacting to songs you don't know. I doubt anyone would want you to lie about your opinion. I personally enjoy just watching other people listen to my kind of music and give true responses about their likes and dislikes. And .. you two are not the only ones to say the same thing about that song. Not many can sympathize with the other woman... nor should they. Good review.. !!
Thanks!
Baby Girl and Stuck like Glue are 2 more to check out by Sugarland:)
No hate at all... I am a very recent subscriber of yours. This is why people have opinions. The fact that you two are yourselves is why I continue to go back and watch previous recordings. I am enjoying your channel. Thank You!
I mean, Baby Girl is not going to be AS powerful but it still is my favorite sugerland song but don’t tell anyone that a 25 year old guy wells up listening to baby girl by sugerland😂😅
Your secret is safe with us. - Keith
I'm not butt hurt but I do love this song. Jennifer is a fantastic vocalist. I enjoy all of her songs. My favorites are "Stuck like glue" for a fun song, and Baby girl is one of her first hits. I know you will love them both.

Jennifer Nettles has an amazing voice and this song is a great showcase for it. And yes, this song is not everyone’s “Cup ‘O Tea” (Whiskey) but it is very pretty.
Agreed. Excellent performance of awful subject matter. - Keith
This is my second comment. I made a comment about one of y'all being cute on another video. One of the other listeners jumped all over me. In ALL caps telling me the one of you in question was taken. I need to say this. First I was on heavy pain killers and DUH! I RESPECT these two gentlemen and their views on each song. I've been the other woman without knowing it, til the wife called me and I cried because I thought the cheating jerk loved me. His wife and I are still friends. As for this song, the guys have the right to thier opinion. I like the song, I like how at the end she up off her knees, she's finished, she can do better and he can stay with his wife. As I said in the first reply this song was the other woman's answer to Reba McEntire’s song "When Whoever’s in New England"
Not looking for an enabler. It is good to see someone be real with the world. Appreciate the work you're doing (while having fun!).
Yeah, that's just us though. - Keith
@@BourbonCountryReacts that's what makes it a good show. It's good to see people being real instead of pandering to the masses for attention.
There’s nothing in the song saying she knew he was hooked up with anyone when they got involved. Lots of guys play that game, sometimes having two families, kids and all.
While recording this, the producer made her sing it over and over until she was breaking down. Her guitar player made them stop.
While I disagree with your viewpoint, I TOTALLY RESPECT the fact that you have the balls to be honest at the risk of losing viewers. These are reactions I actually enjoy.
We appreciate that. And that's just what we are. We call it like we see it, and we know for a fact that often costs us viewers and subscribers. We're ok with that. - Keith
I’m glad that you saw that she saw that she needed to walked away from the cheater.
In this song Jennifer nettles the singer from sugar land is the wife. She was singing this song to her husband. The other girl was the mistress
I am here for the dust and onions in the room.
Yes! I agree that if they cheat with you, they'll cheat on you.

That sounds interesting. And we've enjoyed all the Gretchen Wilson stuff we've heard. - Keith
Added a vote for that one -Dustin
During this song she had an emotional breakdown. The tears and reaction was in fact very real.
I have a different take on this song. In 2009 I was diagnosed with cancer. Only my husband knew. I needed him with me. He needed to work, because well, insurance. He worked so many hours and I just needed him by my side. My husbands mistress was his job, in my eyes.
This song got me through a lot of dark nights. Some songs maybe don't have to be so straight forward. My husband was there the day I got my all clear and he found a new job!
Something More by Sugarland… great vocals, everyone can relate to the song and it’s not in your feelings.. it’s a fun song. Thanks guys. Keep them coming!
Thank you for watching! I've added a vote for that one -Dustin
First off, Jennifer's husband cheated on her and she was going through a divorce with him when she wrote and recorded this video. Second, most people that cheat use both their spouse and the person they are cheating with, the cheater often lying to the person they are having the affair with. Jennifer has the heart and empathy to understand that and feel the pain from that side even though she's going through it on the wife's side. To go through what she has and to be able to see it from that side and understand the pain they might being going through is being a real human being.
I understand your point. I believe the cheat with you, cheat on you. I was cheated on by my husband. That being said, yes her moral compass is skewed; however, she did not break any vows. He did. I really hate when people blame the other woman/man. The married person should pay the price 10 times more than the other woman/man. That is where I stand on this issue.
Reasonable. - Keith
They wanted to stop recording because she was so upset and crying because she was going through a divorce but she wanted to keep going and recording. Baby girl is a good song and all I want to do and something more. Her name is Jennifer Nettles I thinks she did some solo songs also.

The reason you are compelled to feel empathy for her is that this does happen so often where a woman falls hard for a married man who promises her that he is just about to leave his wife for her, convinces her that his marriage is past over, and she is his entire future. Never does he mean it, he's just using her for a good side piece, but she really believes that they are soon to be together forever. You feel sorry that she got roped in to a bad situation, while you are supposed to get angry at what a POS the guy is. Incredible performance.
Oh man, you guys picked a real tear jerker. This is as real as it’s gets. Plus it’s being done in the other woman’s perspective which is a first that I know of. Ok, I’m not sure why you would delete it and how you could have gotten the end of it wrong....I’m interested to see how y’all interpreted it. No, she tells him she done Dustin. Damn, y’all are really taking this literally!! Ok, “ All I Want To Do” “Want To” “Baby Girl”
Yeah, we're literal sometimes, and got those votes -Dustin
Sugarland was my first Country concert here in Australia and Jennifer’s voice is absolutely gorgeous live. Some of my favourites include Stuck Like Glue, Down In Mississippi (Up To No Good) and All I Wanna Do. Her vocals on this track are outstanding and that’s why I’ll always go back to listening to it. I always appreciate your view on songs with subjects like cheating and abuse. I know from other comments that people have suggested His Hands by Jennifer Nettles with Brandy Clark. I’d like to see your perspective of that one too. Although this one was written by Jennifer, you should also check out Brandy’s work, she’s one of my favourite songwriters of the last 15+ years. Stripes and Who You Thought I Was. Not to mention songs she’s written for/with other artists.
Added votes for those tunes -Dustin
I just found y'all channel tonight and have enjoyed the song reactions.
Have yall given any Texas Country a try? Kevin Fowler is a favorite for a long time. "Triple Crown" is a great song of his. "Butterbean" is a fun one to listen to. Then there's always "Don't Touch My Willie" - great to sing along to.
We haven't reacted to any Fowler yet, I've added those to the list -Dustin
Definitely appreciate your view on the message of the song... when I first heard the song I took it as a human being with actual emotions that made a poor decision but eventually found her strength to do what is best for her. Glad you were honest with your reaction.
Thank you!! I have never cared for this song and have always been questioned why, so thank you for finally saying why. I can never get people I have conversations with to understand how wrong this song is. You guys are great!
Get into how great she is. She was going thru a divorce, her husband got his mistress pregnant. She wrote from the perspective of his girlfriend. She is brilliant!!!
Couldn't agree more! Nailed it, guys!!
I'd like to speak on what you say at the end about her choosing this. Having been over 26 years active duty myself and many others have had many occasions where we were away fom home, family and loved ones. I've witnessed far to many times where during that absence a spouse has strayed. Both male and female, and started a rogue relationship without the other person knowing they were married. Some times the relationship has gotten to the point where the unknowing have fallen in love. And we all know we find it hard to stop loving even after being treated wrongly.
Such a powerful voice from Such a little lady. She wasn't faking the tears. She had a husband that cheated on her. This is her story. The man with her is Christian Bush as in the Bush beans company.
As a woman who has an ex husband who cheated regularly...a lot of these women do not know about the wife until they are emotionally invested and at that point they threaten to leave but he assures them he will leave his wife because he isn't happy, doesn't love her anymore, they grew apart, they aren't attracted to one another any longer etc etc etc...I damn sure don't condone adultery, but sometimes...woman are tricked, lied, manipulated into it.
From the perspective of this song, she knew. Not knowing / being lied to changes everything. - Keith
Hell yeah brother you guys crack me up man that bourbon sounds good keep up the good videos Man Charlie Western PA Appalachian mountain
Stand BacK Up has a better narrative and is just as powerful. They have tons of up tempo stuff that is also good. Down in Mississippi and Up to No Good, Stuck Like Glue, It Happens.
Several of these were new adds to our list -Dustin
Every woman hurts, it’s the guy promising love to both that sets them up
Check out "Babe" by this same singer. Same concept but from the wife's point of view!
I’m obviously really late to this reaction. Love your reaction as usual. While I agree with your points on this song I’d like to also shed some light on maybe the other side of the situation.
When I was in high school I fell in love with this boy (who was single at the time) and it was the first time (and the only time) in my life that I completely lost who I was as a person because I was so enamored. He would build me up with love and compliments and then suddenly start dating someone out of nowhere. Then, he’d complain to me about his partners, tell me he missed me every time I tried to distance myself. Tell me he loved me every time I tried to move on. He never physically cheated with me (that I know of) but I gave him all of my heart because I didn’t know how to let him go. I would spend so much of my time completely heartbroken because I couldn’t understand why I wasn’t good enough for him. That was the darkest time in my life. I should have left. I shouldn’t have made it so easy for him to keep coming back to me, but it felt impossible. I felt like I couldn’t exist without him. It took me five years to finally love myself enough to let him go. I don’t condone the message of the song or even my thought process when I was younger. I used to listen to this song and just cry because I felt it so deep in my soul.
But I guess I said all of that just to say that people aren’t perfect, especially when the heart is involved.
I have been following these guys for a while now. Never saw this reaction tell now and honestly all I see is male stupidity. I was the woman on the other side of this song. When I figured it all out I contacted her and she was honest with me. She knew about me but she did not at first. Almost 8 months when she found out but she was in love and believed all he said about me. I was crazy, it was a sexless relationship, oh and that I was cheating on him but we were so tied financially bluh bluh bluh . He was going to leave me as soon as he could but he had to make sure his ducks were in a row. People lie, people miniplate other people. They will lie and cheat and all these two saw and heard was OMG She was the other woman Damn her, Damn her to hell without knowing the whole thing. To this day her and I still chat every now and then and I still feel bad for what he put us both through.
@@Tee1471 I think it’s great that they know that they would never do that to someone, it’s not common enough, but yeah, not everything is black and white and are often a lot more complicated.
Also, to add to that, I don’t think it’s male stupidity, I think they’re just confident enough in themselves to know they’d never do this to someone, so cheating is unfathomable to them. It’s a good thing
@@carb5074 Nope still male stupidity in not understanding female emotions. They are not even willing to think about what he said to her to keep her sticking around. I feel very bad for what my ex did to the woman he was cheating with. I still felt worse for her at the time than I did him. He really didn't think he did anything wrong. Kodos for these guys for never being able to do it but way to many who will.
Ok challenge accepted and for you to do their very first single which is going to be baby girl by Sugarland it shows off the amazing vocal talent of Jennifer Nettles with a amazing message it as well

"If he cheats with you, he will cheat on you". Amen y'all are right.
Seen it so many times. - Keith
What a great view, unexpected but great! Good for you guys! 🌎✌️
Thanks!
I know this is a few years passed but I did want to suggest that sometimes the "other woman": doesn't realize the man is married when she first gets into the relationship. Her choice can sometimes be made based on a lie he told. It happens. Been there, done that, left when I found out. Judging from the point presented isn't always the best route... or accurate to opinions formed. Shyte happens. Lies fly on both sides. Sometimes women do persue married men but more often they don't realize he's married until they are already hooked. This particular song doesn't imply how it started but in the end she did finally leave.
I would highly recommend. Sugarland song. Baby Girl. Awesome song
