Jennifer Nettles & Rihanna - California King Bed - Live at the 46th ACM Awards 2011

[rodjohnson69]

Nuno sounded better than both of 'em

[shootingstar1314]

jen nettles just might be the best country singer out there... she mastered this with no problem and sung it better than Rihanna.. they are both great but jen was better

[ArisStarish]

ARIS STARISH! Check out my channel!

[Cinabon88]

More powerful does not mean better...SMDH...ppl are so judgemental. Get ur ass on stage!

[MrRobynriri]

jennifer have just stronger, and harder voice becouse shes a good country singer:)

[misschichibabie]

Great !

[juanma1617]

short hair doesnt suit rihanna

[Geraiintx]

rihannas microphone was quitened to the beginning for jennifer, rihannas vocal was spot on! Jennifer may be more powerful but that doesnt make her better, it makes her sound the same all the time

[roarmac18]

ok... i love both their voices! BUT>>> i dont like the blend of their voices; i enjoyed it with a level of discomfort

[MusicAteMyHeart1]

They're both good. But I wouldn't say that Jennifer did this better than Rihanna. I for some reason find Rihanna's voice more unique than Jennifer's, I mean, of course Jennifer's voice is unique as well, but to me Rihanna's voice is more.. Relaxing, and that's what this song requires. Also, she sings this song ten times better if you've ever been to a concert with her:P

[Sukyhoi]

Rihanna's voice is as powerful as Jen's voice, i figured either the live sound mixing front of house guy wasn't doing a good job on balancing the two microphones or Rihanna's in-ear monitor (the little ear piece she wore to listen back to her voice as she's singing) messed up. They both are great singers, but of course being a huge Sugarland fan myself, i'd have to say Jen is the best ;)

[rokutaiyjo]

jen doesn't sing better than rihanna open your f....ing eyes !!! wtf!!!! this is rihanna's song!! she's amazing, that's all ^^

nice duet ^^ Two beautiful singer for this beautiful song

[kamamols]

Jennifer, you are great!

I gave up. The surrender!

[LuvinWhit]

Two different voices..that shouldnt combine

[MegaStr123]

Rihanna is better than her Rihanna's voice is beautifull

[TravisMishler120881]

Rihanna has the looks

[7ssslucky]

when will these girls learn not to duets with Jennifer she slays them all first this then GAGA....shame!

[TDimples014]

am I the only one who thinks Rihanna did better? oh well, if you dont like Rihanna fuck you because Jen messed up the song.

[AzjeleaLovesYou]

@TDimples014 same here!

[nerdybirdy1990]

Rihanna, I love ya, but consider yourself OWNED lol!

[1smoothprettyboy]

Yep Jen's a beast,lol...

[barhom826]

this made cry

[Crazycatperson66]

Jen can't sing backup parts for her life. Her voice is way too overpowering. I think if Rihanna's mic was louder, and Jen adjusted to Rihanna's voice, they would sound equal and not trying to beat eachother

[sycochik12]

not a bad song, probably would have liked it better if it was just Jennifer...but too bad it's Rhianna's song.....nothing against Rhianna, she's a good singer too

[rae0rox]

I dont think Jen sings quiet! She's awesome :)

Not that I have anything against Rihanna

[adjung]

I LOVE Rihanna voice! More!

[TheTaylorPreston]

sorry Rihanna but Jen got you!!!!! I can't even hear Rihanna ... :)

[cydashlee]

i dont care what anyone says but jennifer did not out do rihanna at all including at the end.

[rihannaNavy13]

Aw, poor my baby Rihanna , that other woman sang so loud. Lol

[1brainiac]

I like the end part of this the best (like from around 3:30 on), but they both sound awesome. I wish there were more performances like this. Different genres shouldn't stop good performances.

[towannalynn]

Love this combo

[clayrocks]

Jennifer's voice way overpowered Rihanna's

[crazyanimal]

I like Jennifer better too though rihanna does have a nice voice, I just love the lower toned voices

[nitkbhu]

I like Rihanna's voice anyday! Its HER song!



[liljovich]

One lives for autotune and one lives to sing

[feajaen]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!! Amazig in everyway

[DispllaySmiiles981]

the awkward moment when someone sings your song better then you .....

[nerdybirdy1990]

@DispllaySmiiles981 And looks better than you while doing it! LOL

[TDimples014]

@DispllaySmiiles981 shut the hell up

[theolcy]

@DispllaySmiiles981 wrong



[AmandaGorka]

@DispllaySmiiles981 I have to agree with you on that one.

[joshuanelson1995]

@DispllaySmiiles981 LOL You Are So Right!

[BaileyMonkeyBoo]

I find it funny how at 2:40 Rihanna has her head down knowing that Jennifer already beat her.(: I LOVE YOU JEN!

[MrTroyShawn]

They sound really good together I thought It didnt seem like one was trying to out sing the other which was pretty cool

[ryannath2003]

It should say Artist: Jennifer Nettles. She killed it.

[missesbieber3]

jennifer killed da song way 2 much of a man voice o.0

[ryannath2003]

@missesbieber3 Man voice..lol. Hi hater.

[ryannath2003]

@missesbieber3 And you're right, Jen did KILL it :)

[theshanroxx]

i think it's better when rihanna sings since it's her song.

Jennifer ruines the song no offence.

[10dunahead]

Two beautiful ladies, both with incredible voices, having a great time singing together...awesome

[jtfuta1]

the song was perfect. almost every comment is right to a degree. jen is the country artist, has the more expirenced, powerful voice and is in her house. but it's rih,s song,she is the harmony vocal for the most part- and it's she they chose to break uncharted ground with and it was amazing...period. they're voices were a match made in heaven- or somewhere, and there stage presentation was stunning and sexy. they complimented each other too perfectly.

[GosarX]

Rihanna did BEAUTIFUL live!!! :D

[jasminblane94]

Both Jennifer and Rihanna are great. However, I do not agree with Jennifer's mike being louder on Rihanna's song!! :)

[seethoj12]

@jasminblane94 Jenn just has a more powerful voice

[reflextion1972]

an incredible duett .. 2 adorable women and voices

[ChgoBull23]

Like the concert with Bon Jovi, when Jenn steps on the stage IT IS HERS. While others struggle Jenn is so relaxed, confident, energetic and has a vocal range others can only dream of. Check out her ,,,,,,,Ill Be Staying Here With You.AVI cover. BEYOND AWESOME! How many can make record quality songs/videos live as she does?

[limm555]

rihanna better than jennifer :(

[sainglain]

the sound people - f* up

[BlakeMaplesMusic]

@sainglai maybe but she is harmonizing the lower notes, not trying to sing loud so thats why she sounds lower

[msgirl2981]

wish u could get this version on itunes

[teddy928]

Jennifer is bitch

[SuperShavaun]

IF YOU LOOK CLSELY RIHANNE ACTUALLY NOTICES HER MIKE IS TOO LOW BUT SHE HUMBLES

[ChristinaMCampos]

Jennifer's mic IS totally Louder!

[llg193]

@ChristinaMCampos

Or Jennifer's voice is a lot more powerful

Just another option

the more likely one

[methd2madness]

Jennifer turned up her mic haha! bitch!

[PunnyHamp]

เจนิเฟอร์ร้องเพราะ แต่ไม่มีเสน่ห์ ไม่มีเอกลักษณ์ น่าเบื่อ

ริฮาน่า ไมได้เสียงเริดหรูทะลุจักวาล แต่เสียงน่าฟังกว่า

[Tom4e1111]

Jennifer = Horrible ... She sings the song like a programmed robot, while Rihanna emotionally gots into it. Watch the performance from American Idol !

[midnite1011]

No Rhianna is better at this song. I'm a country fan but NO NO NO for Jen.

[MissEssie98]

In the second chorus you can barely here rhianna xxx

[MrPhysco9]

HOW KE$HA LOOKS LIKE WHEN SHE OLD

[SuperDiane98]

amazing performance!!! whew!!! goose bumps... bravo!

[foyeklf]

Omg I love this cant stop listenin to it

[ChristineDaae3]

I think they are both great, Rihanna's voice is different but I adore it, I love her a lot!

[Jennya01]

I just love Jennifer! She owned this song and I agree, it should've been hers but Rhianna did shock me cause this is the best I've ever heard her sing live. Even Jennifer seemed proud of her for hitting that note. I can imagine what rehearsal was like and it definitely showed that Jennifer didn't wanna outdo her in her own song but she's a natural and can't help it. Unlike Rhianna, Jennifer wasn't even trying!

[JNettlesFan1]

This should be Jen's song! She owned it :)

[chonunsonghanji]

they look like BARBIEs :D cute :D

[ADR897]

this song is for jennifer .during the ref i can't hear rihanna .......

[hargra123]

How gracious of Ms Nettles to hold back and not let Rihanna look like an amateur American Idol contestant !! Love ya Jen. XXXXXX

[warriorbard]

This was the highlight of the ACM Awards. Pairing these two together for this song was a stroke of genius! I really wish they made an official recording of this song together because they sounded amazing!

[Decklan101]

sry but I know which one I'd rather see live :P

[aha00002]

Jennifer- more powerful voice

Rihanna- better technique

[Isocyclomethine]

Jennifer is much more louder than Rihanna :D She's really getting lost.

[11tkb11]

yall blind and deaf RIHANNA IS THE ONE

[Nayk0Gangst3r]

Jennifer is great!

[45anew]

Two very talented women in their own right..different styles ..but equally compelling individually and united! Way to let it roll ladies-- with grace and style..(unlike many of the comments below and above) Negativity is the nemesis of inspired!

[MsMasterworks]

@45anew , I agree with you. I can tell those whom are either young, or have no musical experience. Thank you for the post... :)

[45anew]

@MsMasterworks Thank You :) Class act....You!

[musicmanwriter]

I think the should have originally recordered this together.. imagine how good the stuido version would sound :P

[musicmanwriter]

I think the should have originally recordered this together.. imagine how good the stuido version would sound :P

[romeochik1]

Ahaha I Love This Clip.!!! I Love The Way Rihanna Sounds In this Although It Is Kinda Hard To Hear Her.

They Were Both Awesum.! And Jennifer Did Sing Quite Good. But It Looked To Me Like Rihanna Has Got Something On Her Mind. 2:39 - 2:45. and also Through Out The Clip.!! And Maybe thats Why Rhianna was as motivated.! Because In All Of Rihanna's Other Live Performance She Always Smiling and Enjoying Herself.. :)

Idk Just Sharing My Opinion LOL

[iamjames111]

Rihanna was way better!! Love her!!!

[chesleycareystar]

and rihanna has a smoking session before going to stage.

[chesleycareystar]

Rihanna is just a studio product. 

[MicksGirl18]

Nettles just stole the show!!!!!!!!!!! OMG !!!! JENNIFER SOUND WAY BETTER, BUT NETTLES HAD TO LOWER HER VOICE JUST TO HEAR RIHANNA SING>> ITS A GOOD SONG!!

[Naughtyarienhorror]

Watch Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland) Upstage Rihanna by singing California King Bed..Better than Rihanna..and Rihanna doesnt look too happy about it...lollll

[MochaMika028]

ya rihanna,jennifer i love you

[MochaMika028]

ya rihanna

[aimzers]

Rihanna is good in studio. Thats all apparently lol

[jotajomoso]

Nuno Bettencourt,the best guitar player on the world and around ist portuguese,was born in Azores islands,look how he play guittar on this video.

[Denabella]

Jennifer is looking more like Reba.

[dawni3]

rihanna just got schooled.

[Cherilyn01Sarkisian]

@dawni3 Haha Yes! I so love Jennifer singing this far better than Rihanna :)

[jouissance9283]

@dawni3 amen to that. it looked like she was lip syncing to jennifer nettles. lol love it

[VYYSTAAH]

@jouissance9283 Jennifer's voice is stronger than Rihannas.

[keeks410]

@dawni3 by a twangy, nasaly country singer? i think rihanna is just as talented...they are both good imo

[viktorpetr]

@dawni3 You cant speak like that! There is two such a different voices!!!

[shawny32199]
