I like all of the Sugarland releases, including the first with Hall. Does anyone know how to get the independently released music from Nettles, Bush, and Hall? I know that there are cds out there of pre-Sugarland writings…

OK, Here we are 1 Aug 2009 on the eve of Sugarland’s latest album and a TV Special on the 3rd of August. Has any of this lawsuit been resolved?

PS It’s funny to think of Jenn as hot. She once had a fan (who constantly told her to write a song for him) tell her that she’s not too pretty but not too ugly. For those of you who follow Jenn’s music, you know that she ultimately wrote a song for him.

She’s an attractive woman and the fame sphere has helped make her “hot” to the general public, but prior to fame, she was a cutie with a great personality.

Forget the gays. Unless Mercury had a problem with Kristen, her lesbianism had nothing to do with the leave. Jennifer’s primary audience (pre-Sugarland) was composed of lesbians. In fact, I remember that as Sugarland started growing its audience base, a lot of Jennifer Nettles Band’s fans were shocked to go to a concert with more than a handful of straight couples. If Jennifer was homophobic, she hid it REALLY well.

And Krisitan is that kind of guy who loves everyone. He’s a genuinely good human being. I don’t know that he has the power to even recognize homophobia exists, much less dislike someone because they are gay.

I still love Kristen and wish she’d come out with a new cd, but it was obvious from the beginning that there were differences among band mates. Kristen was quick to pack up after the first gig they did in California, but Jenn and Kristian hung out with the fans for a good hour. When they did a concert for “up and coming country stars” (also in CA), it was stated that Sugarland would preform a song with Brett Michaels, but when the time came, Jenn was the only person on stage with Brett. Kristen could be found in the back of the venue with a beer in her hand.

I don’t know why they broke up, but I do know that the gay rumor really should be put to rest. I think the bottomline is that Kristen is a very different kind of person. Moreover, Jenn’s stage presence has always been powerful…it’s a crazy gift she has, and Sugarland was supposed to be comprised of 3 people, not 1.

Mary mentions that the band was originally composed of 5 people…I always wonder what happened to the female drummer??? And why did Jenn’s trademark flute disappear!?!?!? :-)

So it’s Sunday Feb. 22, 2009 and I’ve spent the last hour or so reading all the comments. It’s truly fascinating. I thought I was pretty knowledgable about Sugarland but honestly had no idea Kristen was gay. Guess I wasn’t reading the right articles. It really makes no difference to me. Although I’m impressed that Kristen was the “brain child” behind the formation of the band, it’s been clear to me from three “listens” and two “views” of “Baby Girl” that Jennifer was, is, and always will be the “leader” of Sugarland. I wrongly predicted, as others have, that Jennifer would go solo within a year of that first release, but if you listen all the way through “Love On The Inside” it’s hard to hear Kristian Bush on more than a couple of tracks, excluding harmonies. My point being she already is a solo act. I’m not taking anything away from Kristian Bush. I think he loves the role he plays and why wouldn’t he. I love all of Sugarland’s songs and will continue to follow their paths. And for the record, Jennifer is HOT, HOT, HOT!!!!! In closing I do believe Kristen Hall is due her share from the early success but it seems clear that the current line up deserves everything they get in the future. Enjoy the day!

Just found this thread and doubt anyone still reads it, but come on, Jennifer Nettles is “not particularly attractive”? That’s one of the craziest things I’ve seen on the Internet, which is saying something. She’s gorgeous and I doubt you could find 2 people out of 100 who would disagree.

I like to give people the benefit of the doubt, so I think image had more to do with it than orientation. Sugarland is far easier to sell as a duo: the beautiful blonde singer, the funky looking guy with a guitar. They sing face-to-face on stage, they jump around together during the more up-tempo songs. The blunt truth is that an overweight, average-looking woman (gay or straight) is an awkward addition.

Well, that is just publicity as they are NOT touring currently, nor is anything listed on the CMT Sugarland Tour Schedule, or the “Official” Sugarland tour Schedule, except a gig in August, 2009…9 months away!

I guess you have to talk about up coming tours for publicity, if you have no current tours or anything happening to give you publicity.

Interesting, why would a Country Music Act be playing at a New Orleans Jazz Festival? Makes no sense.

They have a few festival dates scheduled for next year.

Well, it looks like Sugarland may have been stopped from touring as there is NOTHING on their schedule, nor has there been anything for a while. I don’t think they would have no scheduled tours unless there was merit with the lawsuit that is unknown to the public at this point.
