@msherculepoirot Don't forget she was/is an accomplished songwriter long before Sugarland. Only the second woman to ever write and perform a winning Song of the Year, I believe the first was before she was born. One of the Best Live Vocalist/Performers as well. They don't sell-out arena's just because! Not trying to turn this into he/she said.
@beatles913 I agree and Jennifer and Kristian are very protective of Taylor and think the world of her. They are all very nice, sweet and giving people, so let's not bully or be mean. I know I don't have a drop of the type of talent they share, i'am just glad we are given wonderful people like that!!
dont be an ass i`m sure both taylor and jennifer and kristain have more talent than any of us have just because you don`t klike her music dosen`t mean its not good
@beatles913 "More talent than any of us": she plays the guitar. Wait! She plays only four chords. Any of us can play C, G, Am and D. She can sing. Wait! Reba can sing, Jennifer Nettles can sing, Carrie Underwood can sing, HIllary (from Lady A) can sing, Taylor Swift cannot sing.
What an amazing performance , great song. I live in the South of New Zealand I had never heard of B& D until I by mistake heard some of their songs on a long distance flight from Tokyo After 2 weeks in Japan I was prepared to listen to anything as long as it was English never heard of Sugarland until I saw this. But after viewing these songs & artists it has impressed on me how much we in NZ have in common with the people in rural USA, apart from a common laguage.We call them 'gravel' roads
@enzeder1960 just to help with a better understanding red dirt road refers to the dark red clay that is prevalent in the south eastern states. We have gravel roads as well but they are considered a "maintained" roadway. A red dirt road is only there because someone decided to drive through a field to get to where they wanted. It's the most basic of roads. I imagine like what you would find in the outback.
@dockeydidit Thanks for the clarification. We don't have anykind of roads that are just dirt as it is too wet.Sometimes there are farm tracks but they get so gouged only tractors can use them sure as hell no "shakled up GTO'.
The 'out back' is in Australia. The South of NZ is like Canada but not so cold most people are of Scottish descent but there a lot of people with names Brookes and Dunn I bet not one of them have heard of these amazingly talented artists with the same name surnames.
omg they are so awesome jenn and k should put this on one of there albums and put it as a single and they did such a good job they sound so good bravo j and k
You can tell Jennifer and Kristian have such respect for B&D and what they've done for country music. And in return, you can see that Kix and Ronnie can see the talent and musical integrity of Sugarland. It's a fabulous moment, and I'm so glad that Jen and Kristian decided to cover Red Dirt Road. They did amazing.
@dustinjamesboswell, if you were a true brooks and dunn fan you would know that sugarland fucked this song uo totaly. have you been following b&d since day 1 like me. do you go every year to their concerts sometime 2 a year. most likely not. so shut the fuck up
@msminnie4 Calm down. I am a big time B&D fan too, but I can recognize when a cover is awesome such as this one! The way they broke the song down to what the song really means was so clever! It seems everyone agrees but you that Sugarland did fantastic.
@msminnie4 you've got to be kidding me!!! they are so original its not even funny! they arent anything like brooks and dunn so i dont know how you could say without them there would be no sugarland! any and every song sugarland sings they master it and i would know bc i have seen them live twice now! if you think they did oh so terrible then why the heck are you watching it?? REALLY?!
Taylor Swift should eat her heart out, she has no talent especially when compared to someone like Jennifer and Kristian. These two have alot going for them i wish them nothing but the best and hope that someday all the people that have pushed Taylor realize that there's alot better singers in the world than her.
@cjone33 a lot better entertainers even...she just puts me to sleep... :/ i really don't know how come she's so famous..yah..shes an ok song writer..so let her stick to that instead of promoting cat faces...ugghhh..
@cjone33 Taylor is a decent songwriter, but she can't sing for shit. She should stick with the songwriting & maybe do background stuff for other artists, she'll do well with that after her star fades (hopefully soon, LOL).
@cjone33 Are you an idiot? Just because you don't like Taylor Swift doesn't mean she has no talent. Yes, there are better singers than her. There are ALWAYS better singers, especially when compared to someone like Jennifer and Kristian.
this is why sugarland is soo good. They took an unbelievable song and made it their own. Both versions are amazing but they took it to another level. Everybody else that night just sang B&D songs the original way...thats kareoke with good singers. sugarland showed their talent on this one! gives me chills
@chalkwithans I absolutly agree with you. I liked most of the other performances but Sugarland took a big risk by performing their own version of Red Dirt Road and for me that was the best performance of the night.To me that seemed to be a perfect way to honor B&D and Judging by the audience's reactions and B&D's expressions it was a big hit.
Brooks and Dunn are truely one of the best country duos out there. To me, an artist deserves a tribute when they can make a song that can be covered in so many different ways than how the original artist sang it, many years after the particular song was released. Sugarland proves that Brooks and Dunn deserve this tribute. They made the song their own, and it was the best performance ever!!
i was a little worried when i heard they were gonna take on this song because i wasn't quite sure how it would work from a "lyrical standpoint". But as usual, they took it and made it their own and RAN WITH IT........and i LOVED IT!!!!!!!!!!! one of the best performances of the night!!!
Sugarland is on Good morning America this Friday....live from central park..
Another chance for a show stopping performance....maybe showing off a couple of their new ones to the world! This is a break through year for Sugarland...ENTERTAINERS of the year!!!!!!! C'mon
This was a great special. Taylor Swift actually sounded good (but the dress/knee boot combo has to go) and Sugarland's performance was absolutely amazing...no matter what cover they do, they always sound great doing it!
The highest tribute a performer can give to a writer is to be so moved by the work that it can be performed from the heart as if it were in fact one's own. This is what Sugarland did here, As great as everyone was in this show, none came from the heaert like this.
I am a very happy girl this morning. Sugarland absolutely kicked butt on this song. And America finally got to hear Kristian's amazing voice and harmonica skills. For me, that is a big part of what made their performance so special.
@msherculepoirot You have got to hear her Tribute to Neil Diamond at the Kennedy
