I don't think Ive heard this song sung better, even though Neil did sing it so well ! She really slayed this song in a way that is almost worthy of a re-make - very heartfelt ! Thank-you Jennifer Nettles 💝

So sensitively done by Jennifer Nettles -- she really honored him with this. Really outstanding.

Watching this again in 2024 -an amazing performance. It’s like watching a love story play out right in front of you. I am a fan !

Occasionally God gives us a gift. This time it was Jennifer Nettles.

Jenn has that Elvis quality, Cant take your eyes off her, she seems to be singing to u alone, puts 110% into her songs, enjoys singing. So rare with todays artists.

Her voice is like warm melted chocolate which surrounds you completely the you find bits of hot pepper from time to time to make you go “Whoa” that was delicious!

I play this song every night on KZread. There is magic in that woman's voice ❤❤

Probably the most under appreciated voice in music in well.................... decades - Jennifer has to be top 5 all time and sadly many have probably never heard her - if you a re reading this and are not aware of who this incredible lady is - start with 'Stay' in my humble opinion one of the best songs and vocals ever - especially when this incredible woman sings it live - studio techs take a break - this voice needs nnnnnnnnnnnnooooooooooooooooo help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jennifer Nettles is a beautiful artist, to pay tribute to Neil Diamond, he deserves this honor of recognition for a job well done. I love all of his songs.

She has a great voice .. but Neil there’s no one that can sing that song but you!!❤

Jennifer Nettles could sing the dictionary and I would listen!!!

Took the words out of my mouth. She can do it all.

Absolutely beautifully done . Grace beauty . What a voice .

So beautiful! I love Jennifer Nettles range. When she busts out some southern gospel now and again it's quite a moving experience. ♡

she can sing anything. what a great talent.

Such a wonderful voice. If you haven't heard her sing O Holy Night you are missing a real gem

Man her voice. It makes every hair on my body stand up. She is amazing.

Jennifer held Streep and Diamond in the palm of her hand with this performance. She has decades of holding Sugarland fans in sync...... has to feel good to master a skill for the masters.....love it get it girl!

I always fall back on this performance. Jen is Amazing. I do believe that Mr. Diamond Concurred

Jennifer steps inside that song and completes it through every pore of her skin, as well the vocal chords!

Imagine the pressure of that performance, and yet hers... perfection. What a true professional.

Right! It’s Just Neil Diamond! Jennifer does such a great job doing these. Mr. Diamond appeared to really enjoy it.

I would be terrified having to sing that night front of Neil Diamond like that! Omg. But he was so gracious, he smiled the whole time.

I have completed my bucket list of everybody I want to see except for Jennifer Nettles!

Beautiful cover. seeing Neil Diamond s expression as she sings it makes it all the more special ❤

Everything about this is brilliant. The melody, the arrangement, the singer. All of it. This is what it’s all about

She did a fantastic job!❤️

If you've never heard of Jennifer Nettles, I think you know her now. She sings with poise and passion, as she reinvents this Neil Diamond classic, accompanied by a great arrangement. This was practiced and perfected, folks. You can tell she wanted to get it just right, and she did. In addition to some mega hits with Sugarland, she has a knack for covering songs (similar to Kelly Clarkson). Check out "Celebrate Me Home" and "Red Dirt Road".

Thanks Neil and Jennifer

Yes she is a great voice and a good sort and she done Neil diamond proud

To me this song is both simple and profound. Simple in the human idea of figuring out that sometimes it’s enough of a reason to just say ‘hello’, but profound and beautiful in the appropriateness of doing that, the gift of it, the timing, the ability to bridge a distance, a hurt, to say so incredibly much with just one simple word. I love this song for tapping into so many wishes to say hello, for feeling so much loss, gratitude, respect, hope. And I think this is the best version of it … higher in key, steeped in the right amount of emotion. Love it, and grateful for it.

What an incredibly appropriate response. Especially for the imaginary construct of a world that has yet to come. This great pretense that is beyond the scope (or grasp) of most, and which teeters on the brink of both extinction and self-destruction, as a result of non-participation. We move from what our imagination suggests to us, and then back again, to the day to day grind that we typically perceive as the world that we have been given. Hail to the supremacy of social sympathy over the self-regarding instinct(s). And long live altruistic notions. We're all just actors on a stage...

This is so good! Jennifer Nettles sang this to perfection 👏👏👏👏

She touches your soul.

Sometimes when things are this perfect, you just take it in .. like an amber sunset that will be gone in minutes.

LOVE IT! Love Jennifer!

Jennifer does it again! Fantastic Cover and Tribute to the incomparable Mr. Neil Diamond.

What an amazingly beautiful voice Jennifer has, best female singer i have heard in a long time. Could listen to her time and time again unique and extremely talented.

Totally awesome Jennifer Nettles. Who doesn't love you? You're "the best". I have all of your CDs,you are a treasure. Greetings from Canada. 🇨🇦👋❤

Beautiful lady, beautiful voice...

I CANNOT HEAR THIS ARRANGEMENT ENOUGH!!❤😂

That's a GREAT song! Kudos to Neil Diamond! But it has NEVER sounded as great as it did in this performance byJennifer Nettles! Amazing!

I come back to this at least once a year. Just a great song perfectly done

I love that girl

Jennifer Nettles is my favorite Country singer.She is OUTSTANDING.

Wow! Jennifer Nettles has a beautiful voice and she does a really good job of singing this song?

When songs and talent meet. Not like today

The song is amazing, but this preformance are out of any level scale, superb.

She has a beautiful voice and did a great job singing

Truly an emotionally fantastic version of a song that needs no introduction by an amazing singer, one that is in the new genre of country musics finest

I think I just heard the words more clearly hearing her sing this. Neils eyes are locked on her eyes. She is a little magic. Just boostiful.

It's a great song, but Jennifer Nettles definitely elevated it even more.

Capolavoro assoluto. Omaggio straordinario di una grande interprete a un gigante meraviglioso

Greatness

Wow this lady has sung this beautifully, love it just as much a Neil's version

I, too, have this situation ... my dearest love hundreds of miles away, constantly busy ... and alone, unable to sleep, my only option is to think about her every night. And every now and then, trade hellos.

amazing

My parents were twenty one years apart. But the one thing they always have in common was neil diamond. My father's favorite song was Holly holy. I still love it today. My mother's favorite was. Forever in blue jeans babe. Whenever I hear the songs they literally bring happiness to my heart.❤❤❤

I was unsure until I heard this arrangement. Neil Diamond and I were both impressed!

Wow...what an amazing performance Jennifer brings again!! 💜💚💙💛Absolute perfection!! And did you see the emotion in Neil's eyes? What a beautiful rendition and I know she made him proud. She has one of the best vocal ranges and is so controlled with her powerful voice and lyrics. She is full of emotion herself when she sings, and she can sing anything anyday!! Outstanding once again Nettles!!! I have always loved her, and she is one of country music's greatest voices ever!!
