Martina McBride - “Independence Day” at Sea World - 5/7/2023

[@debshaw6335]

The woman can still do it, give her some credit, she’s was and still is the real deal! Not many could EVER sing it to start with with,,,and she can still sing, and is beautiful! Good effort Martina

[@Kellygirl118]

I love her and would love to meet her 😊

[@michaelt3280]

Totally love this SONG. But when her and Pat Benatar did it together was off the charts. ❤.

[@stephenbeckwith6938]

I totally agree with you - the look on her face when Pat took owner of the song was priceless

[@jessecaldwell9781]

I saw her 4 times on the Judd Tour! She was amazing!

[@GaryRoenickr]

Oh how nice, would have loved to attend that performance now we live in Florida. I saw Martina 5 years ago in Sacramento at the state fair. One of my favorite performers

[@donnawillis4319]

You still have a Beautiful voice Saw your video

[@margiefortune8705]

I so love and am so proud of Martina ! Her music is so supportive all women who suffer and struggle to live free. You sound good and you are so amazing ! For women all over I thank you

[@jackson4socks]

I love Martina. Her voice is iconic and she has a huge heart. I remember back in 90s she had said, more than once, that she doesn't warm up before performances. She just goes out and performs. And if you aren't taking care of your voice by warming up, this is what happens. Conversely, LeAnn Rimes talked extensively about her having to warm up before each performance because she wanted to take care of her voice. Regardless, glad both women are still doing their thing. Keep at it. The fans love you.

Still killing this song!

[@thomasfoster5200]

I still love her and always will.

[@donnawillis4319]

Yes God Great!! May God Bless you and your Family You're a special person inside and out. You have that Very special voice. Love ya always ❤️😊

[@BrookeKnight561]

That song is HARD. She needs to drop it down by a full step. No one can spend 30 years blowing out their voice that way.

[@kristin8458]

Yes I agree with you. I think they did drop it down an octave. It's a hard song to sing.

[@Jay-sm5ef]

Ok, Dr Vocals.

Shes a Gem

[@iarwainthabombadil7724]

What kinda gem? I'd say true Shungite. There's silver, and then there's True Silver. True Shungite is still used to purify drinking water in unfortunate circumstances. Martina has a similar quality, amongst other things... "The wealth of Moria wasn't in gold or gems, the toys of the dwarves."

[@spuddudley1963]

Beautiful!

[@michaelrobbins8454]

Sounds sooo good :)

[@Roger-il8iw]

For people commenting, sound is always poor in front of the stage. You need to be further back to the center. That is where the sound man is, and where the mix is best. She’s not missing notes at all, you just can’t hear her.

[@michaelrobbins8454]

You can see she’s having trouble with sound. She keeps messing with her ear monitor. That will def mess up anyone’s singing. I think she is fantastic. Loveu Martina

[@boxychubbo6922]

She sounds better than she did a few years ago.

[@geriminelli1]

First time I've seen you performing that live MM

[@nicklullifordeltona]

She was even able to do the head voice flip in the last chorus! Kudos to her, but hopefully it didn’t cost her….

[@geriminelli1]

@@nicklullifordeltona cost* I get that sir 😆 I did a vocal blow-out practise yesterday and couldn't hold a telephone convo after 😆 😆 😆 😇

[@parkerspaulding4162]

I hate how she messed it up, I bet she wished she had listened, it's taken years but it's coming back! Get it girl

[@sethirwin1610]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@craig9843]

I think Martina McBride knows what she is doing. She doesn’t need to be told.

[@chuckgemme6733]

Don’t understand the hate? She sang great. No many people can hit her notes. Sounded more like the audio system quieted down when she went high

[@jeffkinney6449]

The audio system didn't "quiet down" on the high notes (that's not a thing). She moved the mic further away from her mouth to disguise the fact that her voice has lost a step. No shame in that, by the way -- she's still a great artist.

[@Gwen0902]

People now a days aren't use to "live" performances without lip syncing " or "auto tune" This is a "live performance and none of that mentioned previously was present. yes I noticed she had some problems with her earpiece to and that would throw anybody's voice off. BUT in my opinion she did an amazing job!! I just love her voice 😊 OK I'm going to add something here to put an end to all the horror stories that I have seen on here about her voice. They said since she took time away and came back she can't sing anymore. I BEG TO DIFFER!!! I just saw a full on concert that someone graciously added on their channel of her singing live (like she always likes to do) in 2023. Guys, She still can hit those notes 🎼It was Heaven 🙂 Thank you for sharing 🙏

[@Menyhard]

My next karaoke song

[@spacecatboy2962]

i bet flipper would like to have his independence day

[@billycain9890]

For about 20 years Martina McBride was the greatest female vocalist in country music and I don't know if it was close she cant hit the high notes like she wants could but she still good enough to get the job done. Let's be honest if country music awards shows was really about best female vocalist Martina McBride would have won 15 or 20 years in a row but it's really a popularity contest about who's the big star this year.

[@annalaren]

what happened to her voice?

[@WillamNeff-yn8yr]

When are you coming to Kentucky September 22nd I need to be there honey

[@justinleshaymusic4952]

She was still hitting most of the notes, blame the sound guy lol. She was pulling away from the mic on the chorus(as she should)and the sound guy wasn't compensating. Also, a lot of crowd noise/sing a long. Stop hating, she's still better than y'all!🤣🤣

[@leewayneblue9339]

You are totally wrong its her not the sound man!

[@justinleshaymusic4952]

@leewayneblue9339 definitely not wrong lol. If you compare this to other performances the sound is night and day, not just the vocals. I'm a professional musician, and I've ran sound many of times...so that's my credentials to speak on the matter. What's yours?

[@mrbroadwaydork]

I'm sorry, but this isn't an isolated incident. She hasn't sounded good for awhile, so unless it's been "the sound guy" for the last few years then I think she is the root cause of the issue.

[@moongloomable]

She has had a bad sound man for about 10 years now lol

Great song and she is great. But she doesn't do this song justice

[@jsigur157]

It's rough when you can't reach the notes anymore

[@user-xj2qe4rk2e]

that's what they do when they can't sing anymore, they have the audience sing lol. Really sad. I have stopped going to a lot have lost their voices.

[@CarolinaGrass64]

To the ones talking that she can't sing it like she use to. She was on tour and her voice was probably tired, even like some younger singers also does sometimes. This is the same year she did this song. Listen to this one, she nails it. kzbin.info/www/bejne/faKYZqKXr8ubrtU

[@loriolson1143]

She sounds so horrible there's no excuse

@@bigdawgbrandon23 Just being honest. I saw Billy Joel 3 yrs ago- he lowered every key to every song. He could hit all the notes- and sounded great! She should have the same self-awareness.

When you cant even handle the verse its time to lower the key too much belting and years of high pitched songs this sounds awful!
