Tennessee Whiskey/Drink You Away - Justin Timberlake & Chris Stapleton at CMAs (Reaction!) 

I also heard that the producers gave them two slots for the performance. I think they one it would be huge! They blew the roof off!!!

He’s got really bad stage fright from what I’ve read

@@Ilovebeans5673 I think so too. I also heard when they came to him to perform he said he would if he could bring Justin on. Best decision ever!!

@@Ilovebeans5673 and that's why his wife sings with him, too. She's the one who originally got him to perform. He's always been the writer in the background.

FYI: Stapleton has lived in Nashville for several years but he was born and raised in East Kentucky. All conference football player and class valedictorian.

Got that right! I was at home and have to give them a standing ovation.

Morgane IS AMAZING IN HER OWN RIGHT AS A SINGER SONGWRITER!

I'm not familiar with the Stapleton's work but great observation. That lady can really sing and should be commended for gracefully adding her talent to the piece, filling out a full and rich sound without detracting from the primary vocals in this song. I'll have to check for her solo work and compositions where she is the lead.

Her voice reminds me of Stevie Nicks.

Amen Amen and Amen!!!!

First time I heard Chris and Morgane Stapleton was this performance. Fell in love with both of them. Such an unbelievable performance 😊

@@judyjones1044 I had never seen them before either.

Chris COLD is a close second.

@@alesiaking5578Honestly, between Cold, Tennessee Whiskey, and Say Something, I absolutely CANNOT choose. I’ve been listening to all three on repeat. Cold May *just* have the edge cuz the way he makes the guitar sing is SICK! Like BB King must be smiling on him for sure!

JT is a Class A performer. So good how he can get everyone, from the band, to the backup singers, to the audience, hyped up. A skill not many performers have. Not to that level, anyway. 😀

Chris is not from Tennessee. He’s from Kentucky.

@@MrMonk14 The funny thing is that JT is from Memphis. I know he spent a lot of his growing years in Orlando but he is from the TOWN of Blues.

So sweet that JT sang with Chris. From what I understand is Chris has stage fright, so JT said he would support him.

100%. They were literally on another level or in a different zone than normal. They couldn’t do any better. That was literally epic. I don’t know if I’ve ever heard a level of music this performance got to

Check out "Lynrd Skynrd live at Oakland Coliseum" doing "Freebird"

Completely agree .. this is one of those things, where , they thought... we better not eff this up ... and they just KILLED IT!

She has a great voice and is definitely overlooked far too often.

Yes- from your mouth to anyone who can get Morgane out on her own (with Chris backing her)!

@Southern REBEL Yes, I have! I love it!

what are you a pyschologist ? CA have never been about egos ,they hold each other up . I think we know this has been going on long before this show its common sense longer than Justin has been alive.

Whats the time stamp of that in the original video? :)

Probably a good statement.

@sebs. You're wife will love this ... Justin and Chris are really good friends .... Chris wad a "birthday gift" to Justin one year... true story lol and they hit it off and have been friends every since.

I think it's funny that there's another iteration of "new country." New country referred to Garth Brooks, Big & Rich, Shania Twain, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Blake Shelton, et al, back in the 90s. However, what is happening now is undeniably different than what was going on then, adding in elements of hip-hop, metal, more pop, etc. I'm not opposed, but they are different categories. It really depends on how old you are what "new country" means. LOL. I think Johnny Cash, Hank, Willie and Waylon would disagree that this is THE new country. LOLOL. It's all good. Life evolves. I happen to love Hardy with his metal influence mixed with country. The rest of it ... meh. So much sounds the same. They all sound like Hardy. LOL
