10 25 10 CC on Rachael Ray

[@courtney2323]

I love this. watched it a million times. im just so proud of them and excited to see their dreams come true. Welcome Kenzie and I cant wait to see the girls grow together as a group and for what the future holds for everyone involved.

[@SumErgoMonstro]

@kaitlinwhitehead I saw the official announcement from the management people. Andi will continue to perform at Cactus Theatre, (the reason she dropped out is her parents didn't want her traveling all the time) so if nothing else, they'll see her there all the time.

[@GodistheFather1]

This is one of the best versions I have heard!! Ya'll are awesome singers! Great job!! :)

[@blancheduboisapologist]

I saw them when they were on on Monday!!! THEY WERE FABULOUS!!!!!!

[@bikechan]

Guys, come on! I know it's sad that Andi left but why is everyone acting like she's been kicked out and replaced? It was her decision and I think we should all respect it. Imagine how hard it must be for Makenzie to take her spot with all these comments going around? What they were supposed to do when Andi quit? Just call the whole thing off? Give them a break!

[@MaggieAnnesMom]

Girls you are amazingly beautiful and did such a wonderful job as always! Bless you!

[@aleishbaby]

You are amazing singers!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@ManderMurduh]

AW man....I loved Andi so much D:. I'm gonna miss her :(

[@wagarcarey]

They are great and will only get better. It is great to watch kids with talent that are using it for the better good. Any time there is more than one person in an act there is a chance for change. McKenzie will do good, just give her time. She seems to fit in well in a short time and it will get better. Best of luck Andi. Keep singing.

[@jdg48439]

Baylee's reaction to meeting Selena Gomez is PRICELESS!! God Bless you all!!

[@jdg48439]

Great job Baylee, Blaire, Madeline and Makenzie!! Thanks for posting this Pop!! Cami and the Cuties are going to be alright. God Bless them in their young lives for having faith in a higher power. God Bless Andi and her family!! Like Blaire leads off, with singing: "I just want you cliose Where you can stay forever You can be sure That it will only get better"

[@kendallmarieSC]

Spectacular performance as always girls! Welcome to the group Makenzie! Looks like you're going to fit in great! :) Can't believe you got to meet Selena!

[@madeleineeeeeeeeee]

You always notice the best things! Haha of all the times I've watched this, I've never noticed either of those! Lawlzz.

[@allison21fhf]

Great Job Ladies! Y'all are wonderful!

[@sideways85]

Selena should have been screaming to meet them! The CC are truly very talented! Sad to see Andi leave but also happy to see them continuing on. Great job ya'll!!

[@aslicee]

i still get goosebumps. :D

[@fantasy8088]

I've been following the Cuties for years and I just don't think I can come to accept them without Andi.

[@RaePlaybite]

@TheLorenPrince Andi left the group about a month before this performance due to a hectic schedule, but she still performs solos and she performs with a group called "loved" with her two sisters Winnie and Alex

[@ashleync29]

This video makes me smile almost as much as they did when Selena walked out!!!

[@ieshaallday]

i miss andi but great job girl i loved glad u got to meet selena gomez hope you girls had fun. it's crazy cause baylee is the oldest but she looks so young hahaha

[@ExcelLied]

Well, there are a lot of fraude agrupations, but You girl,s are pro singers with all the preparation. Excellent

[@LilCutieBittys]

@littlemisstapdance I absolutely agree! I think the Cuties should post a video talking about Andi leaving and Makenzie filling in and their thoughts.

[@MeandTobin]

I'm so jealous of Blaire's hair. It's perfect. :)

[@kristinalovesu4ever]

im goin to miss Andi, she was my favorite :(

[@roxynikko2]

lol I found this before you posted it! Theyre so lucky but I wish they would have sung another song. That song really didnt do them justice!

[@vbbabe09]

If you look at this video, and then another one with Andi, the girls are wearing the same dresses. The only difference is that is this video Makenzie is wearing the dress Baylee wore in the other one, and Baylee is wearing the one Andi wore in the other video.

[@StandingOTheatre]

Oh my goodness! Everyone just get over it! Andi and her family's lives are not meant to keep us pleased. They have a right to do what they want and they can do that with or without explanation. Makenzie is a child and deserves to be treated with kindness. I, for one, think she's adorable and has a lovely voice. Sure I love Andi and I know God will bless her in all she does. As long as these kids keep their eyes on Jesus they will be blessed beyond measure. WE, need to butt out.

[@courtney2323]

Please people I know that change is hard & we all dearly love & miss Andi But this is just the begining- can we please give this some time. I believe in the girls including kenzie and in Cami We all know that Cami and co know what they are doing I think that we are fans of CC not for only the voices and mega talent but what they stand for. And that remains the same. I would be sad if i were any of these girls including andi & read some of these comments, i know its hard but just give it time.

[@lauryn1011133]

Andi has a big family and they just don't have time for all the kids to do everything.(I heard this from an article). I miss andi so much and although these girls did good, the cactus cuties will NEVER be the same. I have been a Huge fan for years, but when I heard Andi was no longer in the group it broke my heart.

[@MeandTobin]

Holy WOW they're amazing! I really do like Makenzie, though I still miss Andi. Hey, @Bullhead003, Any word as to whether Makenzie is the permanent replacement for Andi?

[@tinkdisneygirl]

oh we miss Andi she brought so much personality to the group and her voice

[@GeorgiaB66]

they have all gown so much (blaire especially) (: though andi will be missed, i wish them the best with their new member

[@samanthasea7]

aw blaire has grown up so well, she looks like she's become such a great leader of the group!

[@californialinchen]

I loooooooooooooooooooooooooooove Madeline

[@C4NDY-K]

It's hard to get used to Mackenzie in the group as I was a massive fan of andi. But that doesn't mean Mackenzie isn't good. Her and Andi have different voices so you can't compare them they each have/had different roles within the group.

[@orangeelliot]

Way to go, Blaire. Thanks for stepping up.

[@MeandTobin]

I love Makenzie's reaction to Selena coming out! "OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD." hahaha so cute :)

[@TheChillyCucumber]

WOAHMYGOSH.....what did I miss?!?!?!!?!?! BLAIRE OMG she's sooooo big and her hair's long now :) and AWWWW MADELINE she's so big tooo :'D Baylee's awesome as usual and welcome 2 the group Mackenzie!! Wow does anyone else feel like they're watching their kids grow up? xDD

[@REINDEER0123000]

THEY NEDD MONEY BUT THEYRE GOOD LOL I LUV THEM I WOULDNT MIND SEING THEM LIVE JUST TO HEAR HOW THEY REALYY SOUND I LOVE MUSIC WITH VOICE GREAT LIFE :)

[@courtney2323]

@JizzleStarCool2488 they also had a small secgment on oprah, however they were not in studio on oprah like they were here on rachael ray.

[@ForeverCellist]

I can't get over how much different Blaire looks now, she looks so older and more mature! Really pretty! ^^ She looks so much more mature than me, and she's a month younger than me. x3 I wish I had the singing talent they do. TTwTT Oh my gosh, my name is Makenzie! >w< Yeah, Texas! I live in Texas!!!! xD

[@jdg48439]

@MissQuinnLynn Yes, let's be hoinest. They're kids. One kid left and another kid has taken the spot. Placing adult-like expectations on them is so unfair and the last thing the current Cuties need! God Bless 'em!!

[@scotchsappho]

You guys ! Andi will always be in our hearts, like Tatum . Makenzie has such a beautiful voice, but don't talk negative about her. She's not anyone's replacement or anything like that . She is great . We will miss Andi, but I don't think it was Andi's fault that she had to leave. The schedule was just getting too hectic. You all are too upset about Andi leaving, you can't see what is right in front of you.

[@ashleync29]

I SUPPORT MAKENZIE 100%!!!!!!! Of course I also miss Andi. And yes, it doesn't sound the same, she's a different person! Plus Andi is 2 years older than Makenzie. This short clip does not do justice to how well Makenzie can sing. She can be a little powerhouse guys!!! Give her more of a chance than watching this one video!!!!!!!

[@faithfitzgerald1390]

Their expressions when Selena walks out are priceless

[@Sheelamay76]

@bullhead003 thanks - I figured if anyone knew it would be you... they really are petite, but Madeline appears to be growing pretty quick these days - no more "Shrimpy" - hard to believe she's only 11!!

[@LifeDuzntGivMeLemons]

Baylee is growing up so beautifully

[@StephStrut]

Awwww! It's cute how they freak out when Selena walks out... granted I would too lol

[@jdg48439]

@weymarie answer the question, Where did you get that email come from?? Enquiring minds are curious! ;-) hehe!!

[@bikechan]

@Basketball1011995 I was thinking the same thing. I do understand they did not mention Andi on the show - I don't think the producers and (most of) the viewers cared so much about the history of the group. But I would expect something more from the CC themselves. When I heard the news I thought they would at least post a video where Andi says goodbye and Makenzie is introduced. I think this is actually the main reason people feel weird about that situation - it feels like Andi was kicked out...

[@jdg48439]

@Sheelamay LOL!!! Huge talents in small packages, heads and shoulders above!! For the record, last I checked, they come up to about my shoulders, and I'm not very tall either. lol!! but they have years and years ahead of them, I have a less....

[@livelaughloveilove]

Now that andi left blaire is now the lead. She has a great voice!

[@ashleync29]

@07cool10pa Baylee is a bit on the smaller side (just over 5 feet I believe) but realize in this video Selena is wearing heals and the girls are all in flats.

[@1m6]

@diesel828 It wasn't Makenzie. It was Tatum Lowe.

[@brotendo]

Wait, wasn't Mackenzie one of the original group members? Didn't she sing the national anthem with them at the Texas Tech game?

[@lauryn1011133]

@haveamontanaday Andi has a big family and they just don't have time for all the kids to do everything.(I heard this from an article). I miss andi so much and although these girls did good, the cactus cuties will NEVER be the same. I have been a Huge fan for years, but when I heard Andi was no longer in the group it broke my heart.

[@RaePlaybite]

madeline is so grown up!!! she looks so much older than she is!

[@Sheelamay76]

Still love the Cactus Cuties, though I will miss Andi, and need to get the hang of a new person in her place... but videos like this really show how tiny these ladies are - Rachael Ray and Selena Gomez are not tall themselves but they make the cuties look so small. Does anyone know how tall they are? Huge talents - little packages!!

[@ashleync29]

How cute is Baylee's jumping up and down when Selena walks out?

[@ashleync29]

@mechu07 She has left the group but is still singing at the Cactus Theatre.

[@meerkin3]

@weymarie Did you go to the March concert? I did and talked to the Cuties. They were extremelly nice. I spoke to Andi's parents also. They would never take Andi out without her permission. I think bullhead has done extremelly well in keeping Andi's departure away from us. Some people would talk Andi back in and it seems that she doesn't want to come back to the Cuties right now which is her right. Unless you are Cami, the Cuties or their parents I don't see how you know these things.

[@Shorty2896ify]

The Cactus Cuties will never be the same now that Andi is gone but it was a good decision for the reason of the schedule...They added a great talent Mackenzie so they are still wonderful though and welcome Mackenzie

[@ashleync29]

@weymarie Well I know she's performed at the Voices in Praise recital at the Cactus so I'd guess yes.

[@RaePlaybite]

okay, u guys are always traveling... how much school do u miss???

[@EmilyandNikki]

It was great though It was weird not seeing Andi. haha

[@ConcreteAngelx3]

ADORABLEEEE! .....Selena looks so old! If I didn't know who she was I would have guessed she was 25.... but she must be like 17 here??

[@MeandTobin]

@Bullhead003: Has Blaire officialy taken over singing the lead? She has a beautiful voice, I think she would do so well taking the lead.

[@WavesOfMercy316]

@TheHigherVoice How can you not like them?? You might not like them as much as you did when they had Andi, but there has to be a part of you that still loves them right?

[@suefrue]

I just wanted to piont out that you said in the discription that Blaire was 12. She is 13.

[@thedisneygirl1234]

I hope Baylee knows that she's a way better singer than Selena Gomez.

[@Shorty2896ify]

@bullhead003 OMG my birthday is in February what day is hers? Blaire is amazing!!!

[@ashleync29]

@Basketball1011995 Remember that what aired here was probably edited for time. They could very well have talked about a lot more than what got shown on tv. Also, they were probably trying to push on and not dwell on it too much.

[@sosiak12345]

weres andi we want her back she conpletes the group

[@Lalana87]

OMG! i haven't seen them singing for almost 2 years and they have been growing up a lot. Where is Andi by the way?

[@jdg48439]

@TheHigherVoice That's just a sad statement, Sorry.... Baylee, Blaire and Madeline have poured their hearts into being the Cactus Cuties. Makenzie has some big shoes to fill but at thier young ages, when their feet are still growing, shouldn't be a problem.

[@WavesOfMercy316]

@weymarie You obviously know more than Madeline's grandfather on the subject of Andi's departure even though he just happens to basically know everything about the cuties. Here is some advice: Don't argue if you don't know. That should solve most of your problems

[@extremesoutherngal]

Ty, something is wrong with several of your videos. Periodically I come back to watch the girls sing, and lately I've noticed a loud, obnoxious skipping or clicking noise that drowns out your videos. Someone else commented about it on one of the christmas videos from last year, so I know I'm not the only one who hears it. Ironically it seems to be present on most of my favorite ones. Are you aware this is happening? Also, is there any info on the girls? Where are they???

[@scotchsappho]

What did I miss, I am a big fan, and never new they had someone new and Andi left. WHERE"S ANDI??

[@iSpin2012bby]

is Makenzie the fifth girl in the video of the girls singing the National Anthem at the football game in the clip that's shown in the beginning of the video?

[@araluen82]

@ga0bradley ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!! Yeahh!!! I only just found out, I've been WAAAY too out of the loop.......SHOCK!!! I'm very sad inside....... sniff sniff. keen to see what Andi is up to now. Meanwhile, blink and the girls are growing up so fast! I'm still playing their cd every week. woooooooooah....just heard Mackenzie, and she will take some getting used to with harmonies. Flawless pitch, but definitely different.

[@JordanBeckworth]

@bullhead003 What day does Blaire turn 14??

[@jdg48439]

@DonRiccoG You're right. They are kids.The internet is a dangerous place.My comments will scare people. Your comment, written capitalized and with misspellings scares the dayliights out of me. But judging comments, judging people is not what the Cactus Cuties are about. They love music and sharing it.

[@loverlyrachy]

@choirchick2008 Her parents thought that being part of the group was too hectic because of her big family, but she still sings at the theater, just not as part of the group...

[@MeandTobin]

@EleKTroLyTezZ ElekTro It's called 'No One' by Alicia Keys.

[@Lauralineluttringer]

ANSI left the group a few years ago.... She's now singing alone or with her sisters

[@SpaceCattttt]

It's ironic how 4 young girls who can sing can get so excited to meet someone who can't sing at all.

[@jasminepostada]

WHERES ANDI????? OH MY GOSHHH! Where'd she go?????!!!!! Who's this Mackenzie girl??? Great job on the singing and everything but I've been following the cuties for 2 years now and it's so shocking!

[@JujuRose9]

@bullhead003 How tall is Baylee?

[@AndoInAus]

It was a great job by the girls, but I think it has to be said it just isn't the same without Andi. Granted, this is the first performance I've heard from Mackenzie, but her voice just isn't as strong or soulful as Andi was. And also, I know it's about moving forward, but no mention in that story that Mac is the newest member just doesn't gel with me. Andi/Madeline/Blaire/Baylee forever in my books, but that just isn't going to happen! I'll still be supporting the Cuties all the way and hopeful

[@chelso92]

I want andie backkk! ):

[@zetabyte99]

i miss andi.

[@IceprincessBleu]

wait wheres andi?? she was like my favorite one... i mean im still a fan but it doesnt seem the same without her

[@californialinchen]

@dwogmchurch1 I totally agree.I am just afraid it wasnt Andi's decision.I dont know how to explain it by using the right words. Maybe its because everyone says: it was a family decision.And of course this is kinda private.But we never heard the CC's or Andi's thoughts.I am just afraid Andi could be very sad.Andi and the CCs are soooo young.I dont want any of them to get hurt.I think sometimes ppl forget that children grow up & things change. BUT YOU ARE RIGHT - PPL SHOULD GIVE MAKENZIE A CHANCE

[@RaePlaybite]

who ended up winning?

[@wanttobeinnorway]

oh I missAndi so much

[@gemmagemmz]

sorry just read all the comments. I'm gonna miss Andi but i actually think they were quite good, although Mackenzie will need to get used to the harmonies but practice makes perfect.

[@juslemeout]

I miss Andi, Makenzie is wonderful, but the group just isn't the same without Andi. They're sound is so different now..

[@RaePlaybite]

@brittnicolerocks33 shes 17 now, andi is 15

[@brittnicolerocks33]

BAYLEE IS 16?! good gosh im thinking she's still 14! How old is Andi now?

[@chadwpalm]

From a "technical" point of view, this isn't the best performance to judge them on. You have to consider that they only have one stage monitor and the acoustics on a talk show sound stage are set up to dampen sound, not amplify it. It's common to sound a little flat or off pitch when you can't hear yourself as well as you'd like. If you want to judge their abilities (with the new lineup), the "Something's Got a Hold on Me" from the backstage channel is where you should go.
