Sugarland "Stuck Like Glue"

[BobbyRay]

I just heard this on the radio for the first time. What do you guys think?

They should rename it Stuck Like Poo.

I maintain that the soundtrack for hell is the collected works of Sugarland. This group is the lowest common denominator of country music.

but the chick cries on cue... they just have to be good.

I was going to reserve my comments for later, but I have to tell you...I agree with all of the above. I love country music and can't stand what has happened.

We may be stuck right now in a version of what rock went through in 1988 so far as what's dominating the scene. Maybe somewhere in the pipeline is a country version of what Nirvana did to Rock. Someone to strip it back down and get rid of the glitz for awhile.

Haven't listened to the song in question but I will say that if it doesn't contain at least 75% less "country twang" in her vox I don't want to ever have to hear it. I find her (and the band in general to a slightly lesser degree) hugely annoying...

I'm not a fan of Sugarland, I don't care for the singer's voice (she sings on pitch, but there's just something about it that sounds phony to me).

I had to google the song Stuck Like Glue

As a pop song, it has a very catchy hook and is well done. My personal preference: I really dislike the bridge, a lot. The 'rap' seems way out of place and hokey.
The rest sounds pretty good. I wonder if it was written by the same person who wrote Live Like We're Dying for Kris Allen (AI winner). I hear some of the same type of things stylistically in it.

It's not classic country, but I really don't like the classic, traditional country.

The chick used to be on the jamband scene around athens ga. Ive been told (from people that have shared a stage with her) that she had no hint of a southern twang in her vocals back then.

Now when you say you like country do you mean you like the old stuff like Haggard and Jones, etc. which is a very narrow slice of the country picture.

I like that stuff too, but find it's mainly the rockers who drop those names and think it encapsulates the genre.

Then when other country doesn't sound like that they start saying it's not "real" and I start to larf.

the chick is simply playing the part. . .

Speaking of stuck like glue, I was a member a carclub forum a few years ago and some member posted a thread pissed because his girlfriend went to a Sugarland concert and somehow got backstage and got to party with them. He was pretty certain one of the male members of the band nailed her, but he could not prove it as she never admitted it, but alluded as much.

The entire forum renamed the band Sugerload after that. lol.

[cugel]

i seriously doubt that those goodbars would nail a fan backstage. i just dont believe it. a hug at the most.

[therhodeo]

It makes me sad for humanity that people like songs like this well enough to want them on the radio.

This song is proof that C&W artists use drugs too.
