Rascal Flatts - What Hurts the Most - Live in Portland, OR (Unstoppable Tour) [HD]

Rascal Flatts and Makenna, a girl plucked from the audience, perform "What Hurts the Most" on the final night of their Unstoppable Tour 2009.
For her age and the noise and the crowd, this girl did a really nice job filling in nearly all the right notes with confidence. Awesome job! At the request of her parents, personal information about her will not be allowed to be posted here nor in the comments.
I have the whole concert in HD, so please check my channel for additional concert videos and a playlist of the setlist in order.

Kelly R570...It was absolutely NOT a setup. This is my niece on here!!! She stood by the stage with her arm up for what she said seemed like EVER....to touch his hand...when he finally saw her....he reached down with the mic...heard her sing her HEART out.....and grabbed her on stage. Being the #1 fan she is...she belted out the words...and well you can see the rest....Go Makenna Marae....

[@arizhel]

I was at this show. I had traveled all the way from Denver in a blizzard to be there but it was worth it. When Gary pulled this young lady up on stage she really stole the show. She knew every word, was on key and had the correct tempo and was so poised for such a large crowd and such a young girl. I was so proud of her and I don't even know her. You could tell when she was finished that Gary was so proud of her for doing so well as was the crowd. Way to go Makenna you have an amazing talent.

[@UditOjha]

I loved it. she sang so well. Rascal Flatts have broken now?

[@arizhel]

@UditOjha Yes. They had announced a farewell tour for 2020, but the tour never happened due to the pandemic.

[@sarahlovejoy-tomsey6654]

I think that's the absolute sweetest thing in the whole world!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rascal Flatts is AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone who doesn't like it can just go on with themselves!!!!!!!

[@majcm58]

That kid did GREAT!!

[@lilkaraokediva]

OH EM GEE!!!!! The auntie of 16 in me was SO proud....it takes a LOT of guts to get up in front of that many people......I predict we'll be seein you again in the near future Makenna!!!

[@BrianRounds]

Makenna you were absolutely amazing. I was blown away when your dad showed me this video at work yesterday. Obviously a memory for life! You were fantastic on stage with Gary and sounded wonderful. I am so happy for you, your dad was beaming smiles all day long as he is so proud of you. Rock on girl!!!

[@jolynn85]

[@daveyjay15]

[@SkySky116]

[@ventureprincess]

Great video, not a plant for sure. Gary does this with kids - the band is great with them. My son got pulled up on stage on 7/31/10 during Life Is A Highway and he just started doing the ROBOT on his own. Lucky - being in the right place at the right time. Great job Makenna ! What a memory !

[@Olivia84G]

[@BrianRounds]

Absolutely amazing Makenna!!! You my friend are a rock star!!! I am so very proud of you to get up there and sing. I was fortunate to see your proud dad all day long show off his daughter on youtube. Very, very cool. Gave us goose-bumps!

[@Sharpe1502]

Omg! One of my dreams that I want to do before I die is sing with him! That would be amazing! And give him a big hug of course. I have lived these guys since I was little, over 9 years later, nothing has changed! Come to AK rascal flatts!

[@TheHangPham]

[@drclean007]

Congrats Makenna. This just made the local news headlines also!

[@NaruHinalover00]

great job makenna!

[@NaruHinalover00]

makenna u were great go girl!

[@arizhel]

This is not unusual for Rascal Flatts to pull a young person on stage but Gary normally just walks them up and down the stage. This night he pull this young lady from the crowd after she sang a few bars of their hit "What Hurts The Most". He walked with her on stage and let her sing most of the song with him even allowing her to sing on her own several times including finishing the song on her own.

[@bibiakabumblebee]

i loooooove this song ;) his voice is amazing!! :D the girl is so sweet :D she really did an awesome job !!

[@AMMW77]

wow thats great he did somthing like that with one of his fans not many singers do that.

[@29millerchristy]

[@caleighsmothers1361]

100th comment!

[@xxdarlinggirl]

@1:36 is she crying? :'( Thats too cute.

I hate when they let people go up there & sing. It's like I paid too see you sing not a little girl or whatever.

[@B0DYR0T]

It's funny the little girls voice is deeper than his...

[@kb9281]

I'm sorry,,,that was cute but I have great difficulty believing that was random..That young lady was on key and on time....Coincidence Gary picked her to sing with him?...doubt it

[@BenjumeaProductor]

that privilege

[@manifestgtr]

haha alyssa06j I hope you understand that many people are going to be very skeptical of your claims...I mean sure, it's more possible than some dude coming on here and saying "hay I'm rascal flatts, she was great! lols"...but if what you say is true, it may be a losing battle for you to come on here and try to defend your 15 min...people on yt are wolves man..

[@mccarvel]

Okay, first of all, I don't even like this band. Second, I'm about the most cynical SOB you'd ever want to meet (or not). But - you know what? This kid will remember this moment for the rest of her life, And she totally rose to the occasion, when most of us would have frozen like a deer in the headlights. Good on her, I say.
