Martina McBride - Independence Day (Live at Farm Aid 2001)

[@jonwilliams7671]

Happy 2024! This girl's voice is amazing

[@ashlovee7712]

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.

[@graceyjewels7148]

Good for you Ashley. We are free to be who we are.

[@mylesekdahl2043]

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

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

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.

For such a small lady, she can sure belt it out!

[@theunknown4570]

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.

[@jaankallio4770]

Martina is one of the greatest singers ever, any genre. Here you can hear her at her best. Perfect, just perfect. And powerful.

[@matthewclark8373]

I whole heartedly agree she is awesome I’ve always thought her the best

[@aarond126]

She sang this 18 days after 9/11 that's pretty incredible

[@kobelcofan]

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.

[@classrockin]

No auto tune bs for this girl, This is a real singer

Sooooo True

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!

[@carolinewolf565]

I would like to see her in concert! Such a powerful voice 🎶❤️🙌🏻

Happy 4th, 2022 y'all out in small town Kansas. Your girl does you proud.🇺🇸

[@littlewierdo]

Rarely ever mentioned, the sound engineer, the recording for this live performance is top notch, obviously, Martina goes without saying!!

[@lawrenceearl7311]

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.

[@kurtdahle]

this is such a great song, one of the best ever written

[@michaelpaccione7033]

Not only a beautiful lady , with a great voice but this is her best.

[@matthewclark8373]

I’m back for more , Lordy I love these recordings of her giving it her best WOW

[@emptyleadjacket]

She's probably the best pure vocalist to ever live...

[@emptyleadjacket]

@@NH-pi5dw There's no breakage in her voice... Like EVER and she can clearly hit any note as she has unlimited range.

[@emptyleadjacket]

@@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.

[@emptyleadjacket]

@@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.

[@emptyleadjacket]

@@NH-pi5dw Aretha had a higher pitched voice but she couldn't hit the midrange and low tones like Martina can. And Martina is a soprano. Where as Aretha is considered a mezzo soprano. I also just like Martinas voice better.

[@emptyleadjacket]

@@NH-pi5dw Also comparing anyone to Aretha back then is unfair. She literally had zero competition. She was the wilt Chamberlain of singing. Of course everyone considers her the best vocalist. But if you listen to her try to hit low notes, her voice cracks.. Her voice is not the smoothest even when hitting her range. This is what I mean. Martinas voice literally NEVER cracks EVERRRRR. She's PURE.

[@pamelabuchanan9836]

Martina is excellent. Live. One of the best I've seen.

[@michaelbee2165]

Belt it out Martina! What an AMERICAN star!! Love her!!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@wilmergracia]

Love the attitude her stage presence projects...she owns that stage and knows it.

[@sarahcarroll3582]

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

[@TheCpufixer]

This isn't a patriotic song. It's a song about domestic violence survival

[@dougdemaree1963]

Thank You Jesus. Thank You for Redemption and Recovery in my life. Truly my Independence Day

[@terrydanks]

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."

[@spiderman0863]

Life with Billy.

[@terrydanks]

@@spiderman0863 Yep. That's it!

[@spiderman0863]

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.

[@loneranger48]

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.
