  • F.Y.I. - A male wrote this song. R&B artist Neyo to be specific and he wrote it for himself with the intention of it being a country style ballad. It was later decided that it was better suited for a female artist and then was sold to Beyonce who turned it into a smash hit. Anyway, that's why it sounds so good being done by Sugarland. It was meant for their genre of music originally. I personally like Sugarland's version better and I don't even like country music, hahaha.

  • And OMG, next to Jennifer, Beyonce looks HUGE!

  • i luv datt dixie bluegrass kountry swaag, Sugarland held it down!

  • Now that she knows Jennifer,Beyonce cand start her music career.

  • @misu60 Spoken like someone who knows nothing about Beyonce OR Jennifer's talent or careers. Do some research!

  • @vidann1

    oh daem it,we got an angry fan!!Omg,omg !

    Remember bro,Comments section are put there so anyone can say theyr opinion...so...be a man ...:)

  • @misu60 No...not angry...just informed. BTW- "bro" while you are entitled to your opinion, common sense should dictate that you think before you write our at least know the subject matter. I came here to see Beyonce and Sugarland, seems like you came to write a smart ass comment. Well, at least both of us got to hear the great music! :)

  • Well it seams you only came here to find a "bad" comment and reply to it so you can be a "smart ass" and everyone could see youre genius.

    For youre information,i have nothing against Beyonce,and at that time it seems to me funny to post that comment.Indeed,i do not like Beyonce and her music "bro" and it just seems funny to post that comment.Get it?

    So...be a man and leave the people enjoy theyr thoughts.Bless

  • @misu60 No acutally I came here because I love Sugarland, Jennifer Nettles and Beyonce, I wasn't looking for your comment but it just stuck out as really stupid. Perhaps YOU should "be a man bro" and own your comment, take the good responses with the bad or think next time. The important thing here is Beyonce and Sugarland are both fantastic and if Beyonce did not like Sugarland she would not have allowed them to sing her song. Jennifer Nettles voice is so pure she can sing any genre.

  • @vidann1

    Get over it bro!

    It's just a comment.Can you live with it?

  • @misu60 Take your own advice and get over it bro- it was just a comment also!

  • I love Jenniferrrr!!!!

  • OK when people are covering your song and turning it into a different genre and then asking YOU to come help sing your song..that's how you know you've got staying power & you're a DIVA. :)

  • it would have be totally hillarious if she kept in the line "nigga please don't touch"

  • I love it! The ladies are also easy on the eyes!

    Mr. Mike

  • both unique and Beautiful :)

    

  • I love both versions. If you don't like it don't watch it. Do one is forcing you to watch it

  • Jennifer is so hot!! and oh yeah has a great voice too!!

  • omg. I love Beyonce!!! GREAT VOICE!!!

  • Which awards is this performance in???

  • feel*

  • I personally fell like it is not a competition about who is better then the other. Both of these women have amazing talent! They did an awesome job together. Love both versions of this song. It's nice to see some variety.

  • @cmedina520 agreed

  • not country

    this sucks

  • I swear Jennifer can sing anything!! :D

  • PLEASE JENNIFER FOR GOD SAKE STOP DANCING!!!!!!

  • OK, Beyonce has clothes that actually cover her body!!! Seriously though this was a dynamite combination....better than I thought. Of couse both of these ladies can really sing!

  • ahha please,,,nobody things better this song than Beyonce....please guys,,shhhhhhhhh.

  • I love Both of these ladies so much! SAAAANG ladies!

  • ewww i love her but some songs should not be turned into country

  • who agrees Jennifer nettles sings better than beyonce in this song

  • @MrBigjoe2012 lol ur funny

  • This is so sick, I loved it. I'm a black guy form England who appreciates good music, like Beyonce clearly does. Beyonce is a great singer and understands that to be a musician, you have to embrace or at least understand all forms of music. Sugarland are clearly talented, just check some of there other acoustic performances. They also write most of their music

  • This is tacky as hell! Country singers and their stupid hats...yuck!

  • this gave me shivers!! such an amazing mix!!

  • they were saying to the left but pointing and leaning right :) haha

  • @watsup12349 its so the audience sees them pointing to the left :) i thought it was odd at first too hahaha

  • i love jen but she looks strange in this video

  • Jenn kicks ass on this one!!!!

  • I like how Beyonce comes in like, ain't no way you outperforming me Ms. Nettles, lol.

  • wow i liked this song originally but now that hearing this i dont think i will ever be satisfied with this song unless jennifer is singing it!!

  • Jennifer has an amazing voice as well as personality!!!

  • Jennifer is my iiiiiiiiiidol !

  • ugh, she sounds like shes singing from her nose! its Honorable!

  • sugarland is the only country musicians i have seen perform with beyonce and they seem to be the only ones to do so. oh well lol

  • @k23sly1 i'm sure if Taylor Swift got the chance, she'd jump on it.

  • @kbibs325 if so i would like tht but how will their voices blend Lol *shugs*

  • Comment removed

  • That was like sooooo awesome. I loved it so much... :-)

  • Love love love times a billion

  • This video was just added to a music playlist at JustPlay.fm

  • All of you geniuses who "love" Beyonce don't realize that BEYONCE clearly very much appreciates Jennifer's voice HERSELF, considering she got right up on stage and was singing WITH HER. Jennifer can belt it out with the best of 'em, including Beyonce, so take a second all of you Einsteins and think about the fact that Beyonce must think that Jennifer is pretty darn talented if she agreed to let her sing her song AND did the duet WITH HER. Good grief, some people are slow on the uptake....

  • @angelic4296 Agree with you 100%... sometimes an artist's worst PR nightmare are their own fans, specially pop artists

  • @angelic4296 I love them both, but I do think Jennifer is a bit better, though they're different styles, so not too sure I can really back that up! lol

  • I coulda sworn the first chick singing was taking the piss, sounded so bad! beyonce imbarressed her with pure talent

  • @ElectroDrop clearly you are a fan of that lady gaga shit, thats ok you can have that shitty taste in music.

  • @countrymusicfan85 im not a fan of commercial music at all, i actually dislike it alot, i just appreciate talent when i hear it!!

  • That woman's voice is ugly.

  • just awsome! lol

  • I love both of them so much!!

  • I HATED the Pop Version by Beyonce but this Country Music version with Sugarland ft. Beyonce sounds AWESOME! I prefer a Country Music Sound over a Pop Sound ANY day! I LOVE Country Music! My FAVORITE genre of Music! YEEHAAW! :-D

  • @kalmanizer ah hell no!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL 

  • Jennifer Nettles can sing ANYTHING !!!

  • @hargra123 it's clear very beautiful voice

  • @hargra123 No, no she can't.

  • the sound is to poor for such big singers sorry . It must run trough the hall like a thunderstorm!!!

  • Love Jennifer nettles!

  • @NeoEpzilon. I am continually amazed at the sheer sarcasm and nastiness some people feel they must exhibit. I made a comment because I'm in a position to do so. I am a singer, I have done commercials, voice overs, and made it to the quarterfinals of a televised show. I CAN hear, and I CAN see, what you are referring o is vibrato, and yet is has nothing to do with the lag time of Beyonce's voice to the music. A simple exchange of words is always more appreciated than insults.

  • I think Beyonce is lip singing...look at the disconnect between the words and her mouth. That's unfortunate, because Jennifer is singing live.

  • @mybeautifulbailey you can't hear or see if you think Beyonce is Lip Syncing. Her voice has something called Resonance. Most Gospel bred singers are taught to sing that way.

  • @mybeautifulbailey Beyonce is Singing Live

  • This works disturbingly well as a country song.

  • she really sounds like something that sugarland would put out as a single :D lol

  • this sounds like it could actually be a country song too great performance

  • love this performance, whoever put thumbs down obviously doesnt know talent when they hear it.

  • two AMAZING singers from two different genres and the fact that they can still make this song sound amazing if proof that therse two are incredible. <33333 sugarland foreverrrrr.

  • i love Jennifer, but sometimes she can be a little to "twangy" for my taste... and i know that thats how she sings and i love it but that is just my opinion

  • LOL i love sugarland but this country mix my girl b song is just mad

    But beyonce is AWESUM!!!! an so is Jennifer

  • @jonnythong22 hey did you notice that i said SHE is pointing to the left? did I ever say anything about the preformance. No because it was great.

  • Comment removed

  • @cassidymoses lets hope when you are older your vision improves,,cuz B has got one big ole nasty booty!! I wish much better for you.

  • @Hagfan789 honestly i am a big fan of black female r n b singers and i admire beyonce very muchsorry if yo disagree but i do understand and respect your opinion ad you being real..i didnt mean it as literally as you thought i was admiring her.. i love my body type but i do love her as a fan...i hope you understand my point of view and have a nice day:)thanks for sharing your understanding opinion!!

  • @Hagfan789 i take it as an offense that because i have glasses you are being cruel to me and by the way i dont think that was nice of you but i totally understand ur point of her body i just dont like that u brought my not so perfect eyesight into the situation cuz i know many people with glasses an i dont judge them by that but their personality and attitude.. i have dif.point of views than you...my vision is improving..have a nice day and hopefully we can both respect each other.:)i respect u.

  • anybody else notice that when she says to the left she is pointing to the right!!!!!!!! lol FAIL!!

  • @MegaSonofabeach She is pointing to everyone in the audience's left. When you perform, you don't perform for yourself you perform for the audience. 

  • leuk hoorw

  • See see seee? I keep saying that Beyonce is a fabulous singer...of other peoples stuff. Her own stuff is just weird. LOVE Beyonce, when she sings other peoples songs.

  • @Sarahew88 What do you mean? Irreplaceable is originally sung by Beyonce... Hahaha

  • @TheTiffk25 Yes, let's please compare YOUR musical career and Jennifer Nettles' career. You can't be serious. She's nearly perfect.

  • 34 people have thought of is to download Thumbs Down

  • I don't know who that woman on the left is, but she sings horrible. Beyoncé kills her.

  • I love jennifer. but not liking the hair right here.. Sorry

  • This turned out pretty well. I actually thought Beyonce's style did not suit the song, only cause she brought an Rn'b sound into the country style of a song. Nice though!

  • Jennifer Nettles seems like such a sweet, sweet lady. I was iffy about watching this performance, but they made it work...awesome.

  • @MlssCue She is very sweet. Very personable to everyone

  • @TheTiffk25 and who are you again? Where can I get your album...bahahahaha GET REAL

  • Jennifer's voice doesnt really suit the song i think :S

  • 730*

  • 2 women that can really sing.

  • shes outstanding ...

  • i love both!! but jennifer is better than beyonce

  • um...luv me some sugarland, but i was not impressed. It didn't sound like much to me :(

  • which award show was this?

  • Jennifer was absolutely horrible in this.

  • I love Sugarland and I by far prefer Rihanna over Beyonce ANY DAY but i do have to agree that Jennifer definatly out sung Rihanna in that show True the song is a better fit for "country" then this song is but out of the two performances this one was definatly the better one. However with that being said i think that Jennifer and Rihanna's song had nothing to do with the singers... It was the Audio... You couldnt hear Rihanna I think that the audio could have made all the difference in the world!

  • Amazing!!! this performance its like eating a brownie and at the end, u just chew on a piece of walnut! NICE!. became a fan of Jennifer too from this day on.

  • i love beyonce's trying to act like a country singer,,,,she's amusing !,,,I love you beyonce :* muah ! i love sugarland too :))

  • Love it!

  • ahihihi cuuute..!!!

  • Is it me or do they keep pointing to the right?

  • beyonce <3<3<3

  • Amazing. LOVE IT

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE Jen and Beyonce rock!!!! thank you for posting :) this makes me smile sooo much

  • Comment removed

  • @Kn0ck0uTk3n Ya, Ne-Yo wrote this song but he meant it to be country with Faith Hill or Shania Twain in mind to sing it :)

  • I love this performance :X

  • this is pure talent, bey proves she need not use fancy stage set-ups/designs...her personality and talent is enough for a performance to shine so bright effortlessly...unlike other performers out there :)

  • Awesome collaboration!!!

  • l I love the performance...and how beyonce always shows she owns the song ! lol 

  • i LOVE Kristian's smile

  • i didnt like sugarland because of this. then i heard it happens and i fell in love =D

  • My goodness... never heard this before. I love it!

  • SOO GOOD! Love them both so much!

  • I just watched Rihanna perform with THIS SAME woman, and she GOT MURDERED on stage. Jennifer Nettles is an amazing singer. I'm glad she performed with Beyonce, TRUE talent, in this video.

  • @NeoEpzilon Rihanna did not get murdered. You sure you heard the right performance? And this is not as good as her and Rihanna. California King Bed would be more likely to be a country song. Jennifer does not sound as good on this song! I like Beyonce too, but this is all wrong..

  • @NeoEpzilon Is this a joke? Jennifer sounded terrible with Rihanna. Rihanna sounded a lot better than her.

  • @repenttyourself clearly you're a Rihanna fan, because Jennifer Nettles sang circles around Rihanna in the California King Bed performance.

  • @NeoEpzilon I am a Rihanna fan, but she held her own. Jennifer was nasally as always and her voice didn't fit the song at all.

  • @repenttyourself her voice didn't fit an intentional alternative/country song? Nettles is an alternative/country singer.....

  • @NeoEpzilon California King Bed is a pop song...

  • @repenttyourself it's actually adult alternative/country, like irreplaceable, being sang by a Pop artist.

  • @NeoEpzilon I dont know why you guys all hate on Rihanna so much. Of course Queen Bee is superior to Rihanna but Riri IS IMPROVING. Compare her now to her early day, you'll see a big difference.

  • @iloveabba91 I don't hate on Rihanna at all. So I'm not sure what you're talking about. However, I do recognize that Rihanna is from a different breed of artist, today's breed. That tends to be less hardworking, and less talented.

  • @NeoEpzilon I've just watched Riri performing with Jennifer and she wasn't murdered at all, her vocals were strong, jennifer didn't outsing her.

  • @GetBackTrueMC WHO CARES!

  • @NeoEpzilon Your comment was stupid

    

  • @GetBackTrueMC maybe thats why my comment has 65 Thumbs up, and yours has 0. Get a life trick.

  • @NeoEpzilon yeah i LOVED that performance, Jennifer Nettles did that songgg. She made Rihanna look so bad!

  • @hcoskank I agree! Rih couldn't compete, so she didn't even try. But I love Jennifer's voice so much.

  • @NeoEpzilon yea rihanna got owned on california king bed her voice just isnt as strong as jennifers

  • love this they both look like they're having fun!

  • The fact that Beyonce can harmonize with any arrangement, is incredible. Jennifer is an incredible country musician.

  • @rythmcity She's singing her own song, the same way she always sings it. If anything Jennifer is doing all of the harmony work trying to put a country spin on it.

  • Beyonce is a force. She commands a stage with her voice. a very unique tone.

  • The original writers planned this song to be a country song originally instead of a pop song

  • @hangshimkim Ne-yo wrote this as a country song... Never heard him say that before.. but cool.

  • @hangshimkim Neyo is the original writer, he wanted it for himself. He doesn't sing country, the next person listed for this song is beyonce, she don't sing country either. This was always meant to be a pop song

  • @hangshimkim LMAO, you and your assumptions. It was already a formed instrumental, written with a male pop-star in mind. Neyo to be precise. Beyonce changed the vocal arrangement, and it became a little more country based. :-)

  • @rythmcity I'm sorry, I wasn't clear. Ne-Yo wrote the song for himself, but then realized when the lyrics didnt' sound right coming from a male, he decided to give it to a female. He originally thought about the song being a country song. However, when more instrumentals were added in it became pop. It's not an assumption you dumb fuck, he was interviewed about it. He was quoted "I originally wanted the song to be country" Check your facts first dumbass.

  • Yeah Reba and Beyonce... That would be a good power coupling!

  • I love this song! Now, I want Beyounce to do a duet with "If I Were A Boy" with Reba since Reba sang that song too. That would be BIG!!

  • My favorite version of this song!

  • WHAT THE HELL?! OMG! YUCK!!!! THIS WOMAN SOUND LIKE SHE JUST GOT SCOLD...NO BEYONCE! WHY? NEVER DO THIS AGAIN. AWEFUL!

  • @vickkyandme What the hell is wrong with you? You obviously didn't finish the video. Jennifer Nettles is twice the artist of any of the crap I'm sure you listen to.

  • is it just me or does beyonce look like shes having a great time??

  • The first time I heard this song was at the American Music Awards and it took me this long to find this video. It's a real pro video. I love the panning. And yes I do like the message. Don't stick with someone who doesn't treat you well... life's too short to waste on deadbeat cheaters!

  • Fantastic! Exciting! Thrilling! 2 perfect divas!

  • Jennifer can take ANY song and make it sounds amazing!

  • @vickigirlcat Wow, you suck, too.

    BIG TIME.

    Whaaa? Did I just go there? Yeeep! :)

  • @fearlesslove81 OMGZ IKR HOW COULD I NOT LYK SUGARLAND LYK LULZ

    ..yeah, try being a little more creative with your insults..;)

  • @vickigirlcat EHMAHGAWD, you're totaaaally right... my insults are SO lame. I really should take notes from you and your poor attempt at sarcasm. ;)

  • @fearlesslove81 I'm glad you have finally realized this great truth.

  • @vickigirlcat Yep, and I'm so glad you have recognized my great sarcasm! 

  • great combo and very diverse i love it all
