This woman why I started listening to country. I heard her back in 2000 when I was 12 years old and fell in love with her voice! And I’m a black girl from the hood, but didn’t care! I still and will always love her.
I've been listing to music 50 s 60s 70 and some of the the magnificent vocals came from that Era but along comes Martina Mcbride with her powerful dynamic voice and blows just about all of them away. And the writer of independent day penned equaly as powerful a song. independence day for mankind was not 4th of july (however great) but when the stone was rolled away from Christ's tomb everyone seen he had risen now that is independence day
I am 69 years old, and have listened to alot of music. She has the the most pure, clear vocals I have EVER heard, beautifully displayed in this timeless, important song. She is a genuine gift to music.....and us. Thank you Ms. McBride.
After leaving an abusive relationship with a Narcissists and I was with him for 13 years I got tired of the choking, the hitting the gaslighting and left him this year in January. I'm so happy but I still carry emotional scars with me
Has anybody commented on her looks yet? If not allow me to be the first. She is gorgeous. I cannot believe no one has mentioned one comment about how good-looking she is or about her eyes.
This song makes me think about when I was a kid in 2001. The day after 9/11 a bridge contractor near me put an American flag on the crane. We were driving by and we saw all the guys with their hard hats in their hands while the crane was going up with the flag on the top.
I saw her in concert twice and was blown away with how well she sings. I parked close by her tour buses and trucks. My dad met her when she took a Amtrak train for a charity trip
It takes something pretty major to get my eyes watering, I didn't even cry at my own dads funeral but 3 get me started 1 by Reba the other 2 by Martina, Independence Day and Concrete Angel
Martina McBride is one of my favorites! Found this song a while back. God Bless AMERICA!! I know it is not your Will to keep America. I think I know why but there is nothing I can do about it!
Broadway Swiftie yes yes yes I agree. Even hearing the cords to the song everyone knows what song it is and is up on there feet cheering and clapping and singing.
Martina, you are an absolutely gorgeous lady with beautiful eyes, beautiful voice & beautiful smile. Just beautiful in every way. No one compares to you. Martina, you’re a doll with the voice of an angel. You are the greatest female singer ever.
This Gal is an amazing singer and this song proves that she is and always will be another queen of country!!! I seen this girl a few years back at a casino in MN which was sold out of course and she blew us all away!!! Here this amazing talent is playing casinos (which is great for us fans)stadiums
Martina ...this is America as I remember it....what happened to America...let's unite as we are stronger together when we are united.... Happy Independence Day....James.... Canada
I love her & Willie !! Thanks to Willie Nelson & Friends for farm Aid & all their help to our farmers & their familys, For keeping our Heart land alive & giving our farmers hope & love to keep the land going for generations!! We
Tony Vann, Kid Rock said it all, This lady has it all. What a voice. I wasn't into Country music. I'm English. Martina has brought Country to the forefront. With her , The Band Perry and Tim McGraw. Thanks Martina, love you
The Band Perry are also great. Country really rocks for me, love it. I am a Gloria Estefan, fan have been for years. But, Martina's voice is awesome, so powerful and so good looking. Yvonne my wife is a Kid Rock fan, not bad for a pensioner. Byronof calgary are you from or do you live in Calgary. We where going to emigrate to Lethbridge, Alberta.
She’s my favorite Country singer. God gave her the most beautiful voice ever. Her voice goes deep into my soul 🕊♥️🌹💙 Thank you for sharing this beautiful video and God Bless 🙏🏽🌹
@@emptyleadjacket If you've heard Aretha Franklin sing, you know Martina McBride does not have unlimited range. It's not even close. Same with Whitney Houston. Not even getting into guys. Even if you limit it to just country music, Patsy Cline and Dolly Parton are easily superior singers. Again, Martina is a phenomenal singer. But there are countless phenomenal singers. To say she's the greatest vocalist to ever live IS absurd. And I think you know it.
@@NH-pi5dw Ok you prob got me there On Aretha Franklin. But Patsy Cline doesn't nearly have as smooth a voice as Martina. And neither does Dolly. They're both very nasally. They both sound like rednecks whining. They were one truck ponies and they're range isn't even in the same category as Martina. They sounded good yes but they didn't have RANGE.
@@NH-pi5dw Dolly Parton and Martina both have around 30 Best Female Vocalist nominations but Martina was active from 1993-2019 and Dolly Parton was active from 1975-2019. And both had sparing performances in the later years.. So Dolly has a twenty year headstart and Martina still has the same number of best female Vocalist noms. Also Martina has 4 best female Vocalist wins at the CMAs and Dolly has 2.. Martina has 14 Grammy wins and Dolly has 11.
This was a crazy time to be alive, right after 9/11 the entire nation came together it was very empowering. This was less than 2 weeks after the attack. It was wild, everyone was pissed and extremely patriotic
Such a powerful song! Martina gets all the credit but surely Gretchen Peters deserves a lot too for writing it. Always reminds me of an infamous case here in Nova Scotia of an abused woman who killed her husband. An RCMP officer reportedly said something like " she saved us the trouble."
I’m from Nova Scotia as well. My father was emotionally abusive . Sometimes physical. Oddly enough he had a copy of Life With Billy on his nightstand. This song hits home. I remember watching the movie on CBC as a kid. We had 3 channels. Treat your kids well people. You only get one shot at it.
Happy 2024! This girl's voice is amazing
This woman why I started listening to country. I heard her back in 2000 when I was 12 years old and fell in love with her voice! And I’m a black girl from the hood, but didn’t care! I still and will always love her.

Country music always has a way of connecting to people.
@@Eric-W28 yes absolutely!!
@@ashlovee7712 I'd love to add you on Instagram.
Who is still here?....2023...
I’m here in June 2024!
I’m here on Independence Day on July 4, 2024🇺🇸🎆🎇💥🎶❤️

This lady puts everything she has into her song. God what a set of pipes!!!
For such a small lady, she can sure belt it out!
Has anybody commented on her looks yet? If not allow me to be the first. She is gorgeous. I cannot believe no one has mentioned one comment about how good-looking she is or about her eyes.
Martina is one of the greatest singers ever, any genre. Here you can hear her at her best. Perfect, just perfect. And powerful.
I whole heartedly agree she is awesome I’ve always thought her the best
She sang this 18 days after 9/11 that's pretty incredible
This song makes me think about when I was a kid in 2001. The day after 9/11 a bridge contractor near me put an American flag on the crane. We were driving by and we saw all the guys with their hard hats in their hands while the crane was going up with the flag on the top.
A Hispanic guy here who loves this song and her voice....geezz!❤
@@JoeySanchezMusicLife my wife and I saw her open for George Strait about 10 years ago. Her voice was just as amazing.
No auto tune bs for this girl, This is a real singer
Sooooo True

Martina makes the hair on my arms stand up. Wow what a powerful voice.
Prettiest woman in country music, has been for 30 years
Holy Crap! In awe... A country artist with heart and not fluff.

Martina is excellent. Live. One of the best I've seen.
Brings me to tears
It takes something pretty major to get my eyes watering, I didn't even cry at my own dads funeral but 3 get me started 1 by Reba the other 2 by Martina, Independence Day and Concrete Angel
this is such a great song, one of the best ever written
Rarely ever mentioned, the sound engineer, the recording for this live performance is top notch, obviously, Martina goes without saying!!
Martina McBride is one of my favorites! Found this song a while back. God Bless AMERICA!! I know it is not your Will to keep America. I think I know why but there is nothing I can do about it!
Her voice is incredible. Her eyes even more
Wow, what an amazing voice. Martina strikes the right cords again and again.
Not only a beautiful lady , with a great voice but this is her best.
Belt it out Martina! What an AMERICAN star!! Love her!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Broadway Swiftie yes yes yes I agree. Even hearing the cords to the song everyone knows what song it is and is up on there feet cheering and clapping and singing.
Me too
Martina, you are an absolutely gorgeous lady with beautiful eyes, beautiful voice & beautiful smile. Just

What a great song and great way of singing it on stage. ❤
Happy 4th, 2022 y'all out in small town Kansas. Your girl does you proud.🇺🇸
I remember watching this as a teenager, I was blown away. I still think about it from time to time and have to watch it again.
Me too. Lined up for diesel with my Dad when I first heard this song. I'm 46 and get chills and soggy eyes every time. 🌪
That has to be one of her best perfomances ever!
Been in love with Martina for YEARS!!!! She's my favorite 😉
Awesome version of it, this song never gets old.Beautiful lady and i mean "LADY",love her eyes.
Her voice is beautiful!
Now THAT is beautiful vocal performance.
She has some pipes (understatement of the year).
The Verbally Abusive Clown I think she is the best female country singer from that time..
*I can't love this video or this woman enough!
She has one of the best voices ever ever!!!!!! and Shania of course
And it was LIVE ladies an gentlemen! Martin is such a great and awesome singer!!! Love her eyes and voice!
Thank You Jesus. Thank You for Redemption and Recovery in my life. Truly my Independence Day
This Gal is an amazing singer and this song proves that she is and always will be another queen of country!!! I seen this girl a few years back at a casino in MN which was sold out of course and she blew us all away!!! Here this amazing talent is playing casinos (which is great for us fans)stadiums
Love Martina McBride, especially this song. She performed it once on a street in NYC. Absolutely fantastic.
Love when she sang this song with Pat and Neil. A masterpiece.
I went to her concert and was the absolute best performance I have ever seen. That little lady can sing!
Lucky You!! I wish that she'd come to Australia, specifically Sydney, so that I could go to her concert, too!
This is still the greatest version of the song Independence Day by you. Love that soprano!
You better sing, Martina!!! Yeess!!! I remember watching this live too! Her voice still gives me chills!!🥰
A breakthru song in country and music history. This is the magic that happens when a great singer meets a. Great song
I saw a show on PBS with Martina and Pat Benatar. They could be sisters. They could partner up and be spectacular.
I love you Martina! Thank you for your service!
God and Country, Praise the Lord, this day.
Martina ...this is America as I remember it....what happened to America...let's unite as we are stronger together when we are united.... Happy Independence Day....James.... Canada

LOVE when she threw the mic stand. Hell Yeah! Fierce!

Such an AWESOME voice in such a small frame. She just puts in out there LONG, STRONG, and LOUD. Just Beautiful and so Beautiful.
I love Martina, I love Independence day and I LOVE this version!
She's probably the best pure vocalist to ever live...
I love this song and Martina is a phenomenal singer, but that is an absolutely absurd statement.
@@NH-pi5dw There's no breakage in her voice... Like EVER and she can clearly hit any note as she has unlimited range.
@@emptyleadjacket If you've heard Aretha Franklin sing, you know Martina McBride does not have unlimited range.

She had the looks and the voice which is a torch that Carrie Underwood holds now.
The real deal!!!!! God I love this woman!!!!! Excellent human being. Excellent singer performer!!!!!
What a powerful and beautiful voice!
Amazing. The Voices Like an Angel.
That's a beautiful woman. Perfect performance.
Incredible vocalist.

July 1, 2021
Chills!!!!
Let the guilty pay
Amen
Back when country was country!
Cant think of one singer better live than Martinia
Martina, thanks so much for all the super music and great singing!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up all the excellent work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Best performance ever
Why why why did they hide the original video!!!! Needs to be found!
No one can cover this song with the same emotion as Martina
What a doll and a great voice.
This was a crazy time to be alive, right after 9/11 the entire nation came together it was very empowering. This was less than 2 weeks after the attack. It was wild, everyone was pissed and extremely patriotic
This isn't a patriotic song. It's a song about domestic violence survival
I think that Martina McBride is a wonderful woman and sings from the heart
Her 2001 Live Aid performance may be Martina McBride's best live performance ever.
Such a powerful song! Martina gets all the credit but surely Gretchen Peters deserves a lot too for writing it.
Always reminds me of an infamous case here in Nova Scotia of an abused woman who killed her husband. An RCMP officer reportedly said something like " she saved us the trouble."
Life with Billy.
@@spiderman0863 Yep. That's it!
I’m from Nova Scotia as well. My father was emotionally abusive . Sometimes physical. Oddly enough he had a copy of Life With Billy on his nightstand. This song hits home. I remember watching the movie on CBC as a kid. We had 3 channels. Treat your kids well people. You only get one shot at it.
She is amazing. Her voice puts me in my place. In a real good way. I’m blessed with the girl I got, but she don’t sing like that.
What this lady does for humanity is second to none, she an inspiration to all...what an amazing lady, luv ya to bits Martina
she has a voice you cannot reckon with god I love her voice
Such an amazing voice in small package and she sings the TRUTH!
What a voice.
Love your music 🎵

Greet song from Martina. Greetings from Italy.
Happy Independence Day! If you’re a victim of domestic abuse, shed those chains, get your head together and seek professional help!
Still a super fan!
Sublime. And she capped the CMA ladies legends with this last night. ROLL THE STONE AWAY, LET THE GUILTY PAY, IT'S INDEPENDENCE DAY!!!
