i would agree..but no one can take nothing away from Martina McBride...now that woman has a voice of an angel bar none..on that note..i enjoy jennifer as well strong vocals for sure
Even after 4 years, I still come back to this video to watch this performance. She is truly the most talented country singer out there with the most amazing voice ever. No one can match it. Beautiful.
She had no chance of NOT being discovered. Jennifer is in a duo called “Sugarland” with Kristian. Because of that, she isn’t eligible for vocalist of the year. That’s the bad thing. People go on about Carries’s voice (and don’t get me wrong, Carrie can hit and hold every note that human ears can hear), but Jennifer has soul, passion, and everything to go with it. She can sing and hold a note in a way that doesn’t seem like she’s “screaming” it. I love her!!!!!
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Carrie can hold any not but to me it just sounds like she’s screaming them. Same at award show performances, she screams into the mic and overpowers everybody else and it’s honestly annoying. Jen belts out notes like it’s nothing!
For anyone who thinks they used studio editing to help her hold those long notes on the record....well, here ya go! 100% live; every note held just as long as on the record. Jennifer should have got a Female Vocalist of the Year nomination for this performance alone.
Seriously...one of the most incredible live vocal performances you will ever hear!! And I'm not even into country music...I'm a prog rock fan. The chick has serious pipes!!!
Never really got into Jethro Tull...Huge, Huge Rush fan here. I also currently love the bands Dream Theater & Coheed & Cambria. Back in their prime days of the early 90's I was big into Smashing Pumpkins and Queensryche too.
I feel that Jens voice can cure sickness, loneliness,sorrow,and pain.her voice is like no other.a god given gift for us to enjoy. Thank you so very much,please keep singing girlfzg
This is probably within the top 5 live country performances, as far as vocals go, of all time. It really is a shame that they had the stage tragedy happen to them. They are wonderful performers as well as people.
Thank you. I lost my wife of 35 years 4 years ago and your song "tonight" at the 2011 ACM Award Ceremony moved me. Thank You. Your music makes me remember what an incredible life I had with me best friend.
I was internet surfing and had the TV on in the background when the ACM awards came on. Not being a huge country music fan, I was just listening and then THIS came on. WOW! About 45 seconds into this performance, I knew I was seeing something very special. IMHO, they blew everyone else right off the stage.
I could watch Jennifer sing this song over and over again and never have I got tired of it or her. What a voice and she is so beautiful. I want to wake up tomorrow morning as Jennifer Nettles :>) Bravo Jennifer!!
Wow!! I dont even like country music and I found it hard to stay seated for this!! Her voice is epic as it washes over everything in those long notes!!
I guarantee you Celine Dion can hold that note out twice as long. Lol nothing against Jennifer at all her voice is amazing. But when you bring pop into it you're also bringing up the great voices of pop like Celine Dion and many others.
Easily one of the top vocal talents of the century thus far. Everything from the lyrics to the melodies, Sugarland consistently blow my mind year after year.
Now THAT is how to open a concert! What a song, what a performance! As good as it ever gets and then a hell of a lot more. Jennifer Nettles aka Sugarland were fantastic!
This song is 4 minutes and 40 seconds of earth shattering, breath-taking, awe-inspiring, heart breaking, goosepimples, wanna hug this girl she's so adorable, this one goes to eleven, out and out true grit vocals! Umm,, REPLAY!
just what the industry needs someone who can actually sing with so much passion none of this comercial boy/girl band stuff . go jennifer your voice sends tingles down my neck
Powerful, brilliant, and best live singer around because she enjoys and gives each performance as if shes living it. Jenn has so many talents and would make a fantastic actress as well.
I was absolutely enthralled last night with their performance!!! Her vocals are breath-taking and this song brought goose-bumps!!!! I am not an avid listener of "Country Music" but, I will be looking for their album "The Incredible Machine."
Thank you Jennifer Nettles and Kristen Bush for existing, I would not be the same person I am today nor would I have been able to get through what I have if it were not for the two of you and your amazingly written and performed masterpieces.
22 counts at 2:10. Unbelievable, without changing pitch........I took my sons to see her in Camden NJ, they didn't get it...........she'll be a legend............thanks Jennifer AND Christian Bush
Jennifer can sing "anything", very rare nowdays...The first time I ever heard her YEARS ago, I almost "fell off my couch". I love when she sings "other peoples ballads and good rock...AMAZING!
Unbelievable, this song is so wonderful, impossible to sit , I have to stand and sing with her. The best group ever.keep on singing. How you go girl....

She has such control over her voice its crazy. Jennifer is such an amazing singer.
She could sing phone book and sound amazing
no one sings better than Jennifer Nettles. she is probably one of the most underrated singers on the planet.
Exactly
Agree! Incredible talent.
i would agree..but no one can take nothing away from Martina McBride...now that woman has a voice of an angel bar none..on that note..i enjoy jennifer as well strong vocals for sure
Damned straight!!!
I rate her very highly if that helps and I'm no country fan
Even after 4 years, I still come back to this video to watch this performance. She is truly the most talented country singer out there with the most amazing voice ever. No one can match it. Beautiful.
Same here !

They were a trio when they were "constructed"
For anyone who thinks they used studio editing to help her hold those long notes on the record....well, here ya go! 100% live; every note held just as long as on the record. Jennifer should have got a Female Vocalist of the Year nomination for this performance alone.

Off topic: if you're prog rock. Do u like jethro Tull?
Never really got into Jethro Tull...Huge, Huge Rush fan here. I also currently love the bands Dream Theater & Coheed & Cambria. Back in their prime days of the early 90's I was big into Smashing Pumpkins and Queensryche too.
+darthmaul2112 Right there with you. I'm a huge classic/prog rock guy (Rush) but her talent is overwhelming.
Absolutely untouchable! One of the best voices in music ever!
I feel that Jens voice can cure sickness, loneliness,sorrow,and pain.her voice is like no other.a god given gift for us to enjoy. Thank you so very much,please keep singing girlfzg
Man her voice gives me the chills
Jenn sings from her heart, and it shows her comnpassion, and lust for life. Just amazing this woman. Tonight, yes indeed. Peace. Spanly.
She amazingly sounds better live than on record. An unbelievable talent.
2019 and I still come back to this moment in time. She is the best. THE BEST!!!!!
One of a kind. and absolutely GORGEOUS !!! Those eyes !
One of my favorite performances....ever.
Simply one of the best voices in Country Music History. Also one of Country Musics most beautiful Lady’s ever. Powerful
This is probably within the top 5 live country performances, as far as vocals go, of all time. It really is a shame that they had the stage tragedy happen to them. They are wonderful performers as well as people.
The wat?
Gandalf The Grey day
Thank you. I lost my wife of 35 years 4 years ago and your song "tonight" at the 2011 ACM Award Ceremony moved me. Thank You. Your music makes me remember what an incredible life I had with me best friend.
What a beautiful and powerful voice!!
Jennifer was born to sing and sing anything. Glory Road? No problem. Bohemian Rhapsody? Sure, no problem. She's amazing.
I was internet surfing and had the TV on in the background when the ACM awards came on. Not being a huge country music fan, I was just listening and then THIS came on. WOW! About 45 seconds into this performance, I knew I was seeing something very special. IMHO, they blew everyone else right off the stage.
No words! Have to say simply stellar.
Some people have the most marvelous musical notions ever, they are some of them.
I could watch Jennifer sing this song over and over again and never have I got tired of it or her. What a voice and she is so beautiful. I want to wake up tomorrow morning as Jennifer Nettles :>)
Bravo Jennifer!!
I just love Jennifer Nettles voice, so country and soulful at the same time.
I have been a fan of theirs from the beginning and I am now completely sure that there isn't anything that she can't do with her voice! Beautiful.
Wow!! I dont even like country music and I found it hard to stay seated for this!! Her voice is epic as it washes over everything in those long notes!!
Jenn is so amazing!
Who would dare try to do a cover of this masterpiece?
I'm so glad I've exonerated myself from all my other addictions for this new one-Sugarland!
I would love to see those pop and RNB divas try that hahaha. Jennifer is a beast!
I guarantee you Celine Dion can hold that note out twice as long. Lol nothing against Jennifer at all her voice is amazing. But when you bring pop into it you're also bringing up the great voices of pop like Celine Dion and many others.
Gandalf The Grey I can hold a note for 60 seconds , up from 30 seconds a year ago and I’m not a professional singer
What a voice! X
Robert Wolters I completely agree
I watched this live and was totally struck. She holds that note masterfully.
who would give this a thumbs down ?? Great song and she is hot
What talent! Raw and pure emotions straight from her heart. Awesome duo, very talented.
Easily one of the top vocal talents of the century thus far. Everything from the lyrics to the melodies, Sugarland consistently blow my mind year after year.

One of the best singers ever.
i can't stand country music but could literally listen to this song forever. she does NOT get enough credit for how strong her voice is.
Now THAT is how to open a concert! What a song, what a performance! As good as it ever gets and then a hell of a lot more. Jennifer Nettles aka Sugarland were fantastic!
I really can't believe this song didn't make it higher n da charts....
This song is 4 minutes and 40 seconds of earth shattering, breath-taking, awe-inspiring, heart breaking, goosepimples, wanna hug this girl she's so adorable, this one goes to eleven, out and out true grit vocals!
Umm,, REPLAY!
