ACM’s Top Vocal Duo. Listen tp Sugarland talk about their European shows, their live shows, Kristian’s scruff on the beard and the theory of evolution, their choice of singing What I’d Give and trying to introduce their sound to and ever expanding new audience, and writing for the new CD. GAC host Suzanne Alexander interviews Sugarland, the Top Vocal Dup at this year’s 44th Annual ACM Awards Show.

What I’d Give to Keep this Site FREE

Sugarland performs What I’d Give Live at the ACM Awards 2009 in Las Vegas on April 5, 2009

What I’d give to bring you flowers.
What I’d give to get you alone.
What I’d give to bring a smile across your face.
What I’d give to take you home.
What I’d give to make you coffee.
Find out how you like your eggs.
Wrapped around you in the mornin’.
A tangled lace of arms and legs.

(Chorus)
What I’d give to let you love me.
Find out everything that brings you joy.
Wake up to your face above me.
I’d be that girl and you could be that boy.
Find out why that feelin’ is…
Oh, what I’d give. What I’d give.

What I’d give to take you dancin’.
What I’d give to make you mine.
If you got questions, I got answers.
And my answer’s “yes” to you every time.
What I’d give for just one minute.
What I’d give to count all the ways
If your heart was dark with nothing in it.
I’d give you mine and take your place.

(Chorus)
What I’d give to let you love me.
Find out everything that brings you joy.
Wake up to your face above me.
I’d be that girl and you could be that boy.
Find out why that feelin’ is…
Oh, what I’d give. What I’d give.

The Tennessean provided some great pictures of Sugarland rehearsing for Academy of Country Music Awards.

They are going to be playing What I’d Give tonight…a big surprise since most thought they would be playing their current hit single It Happens.  Jennifer Nettles will be playing Mandolin tonight and Kristian Bush will be giving us some great lead licks on the electric guitar…if the rumors are true.  Sugarland wants to show the world that they are great entertainers as well as great and versatile musicians.

 

I saw them at the 40 Watt in Athens Georgia in February and Jennifer Nettles played the Bass and Piano when debuting their new songs. Kristian Bush even branched out to the Bass. I think this is going to be what you expect when you see Sugarland perform live…expect the unexpected and expect to be blown away by their amazing talent.  Kenny Chesney even reported that he thought they would beat him out in the Entertainer of the Year…sometime.  Maybe not this year, but they are poised to be at the top of the country music industry for many years to come.  Click Here to View the Tennessean pictures of the Rehearsal

4:44 p.m. Sugarland will kick off the afternoon in the Taco Bell Teal confines of the MGM Grand’s Garden Arena as soon as they get here. 4:50 The backing track to “What I’d Give” starts playing, and right on cue, Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush walk down the aisle. Because I do not have any journalistic objectivity when it comes to this band, I am not even going to bother trying — though I’m super psyched they’re doing this song instead of “It Happens,” which is not my favorite thing ever. There are these weird lights on the stage that look a bit like the kind that hang in gyms, or mental asylums. I smell impending theatricality. Though if the lights are it, that’s fine: I actually feared there would be Cirque du Soleil. And Cirque du Soleil TERRIFIES ME.  Click Here to Read the Rest of the Story
