The Cactus Cuties hold impromptu concert at DFW Airport

The Cactus Cuties were returning home from Washington D.C., where they performed for President and Mrs. Bush at The White House, when they noticed a large group of soldiers waiting to be deployed to Iraq a few gates down from their own. The Cuties decided to sing a cappella for the troops right there in the terminal to show their support. Sgt. Major Allen introduced himself to The Cactus Cuties and invited them to hold a mini concert for the entire group of soldiers who would all be gathered at 2:00 pm to catch their flight overseas. The Cuties were honored to have the opportunity to show their love for the troops!! When they rushed back to their own gate after their mini concert, American Airlines had closed the doors and the Cactus Cuties and their entire party missed the flight to Lubbock!!! Half of The Cactus Cuties' party was able to catch a later flight, but the other half had to catch a flight to Amarillo and drive the remaining 120 miles home. Even though it was a little out of the way, everyone agreed it was all worth it to show our appreciation and support to the soldiers who fight to give us all freedom to sing about!!!!! This was definitely the most meaningful layover the Cactus Cuties have ever had!!! Here's The Cactus Cuties singing portions of Joy to the World, Jesus Oh What a Wonderful Child, Think, and Children of America in the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport.

[@chadwpalm]

No microphones, no pitch correction, no auto-tune. Raw talent that transcends much of what pop culture throws out at us today.

[@16oceangirl]

"Children of America" is just, oh my gosh, it just makes me wish that every "child" in America would realize how fortunate they are to live here. This video just represents everything America is. Makes me cry.

[@jdg48439]

I just cant get enough of this video. Those troops loved it! What beautiful voices, hearts, and souls these girls have. When I think that those fine young men and women are on their way to Iraq to risk their lives so I can sit here and watch a moment like this it reduces me to tears. Thanks for sharing in every imaginable way Cuties.

[@MeandTobin]

Madeline blows me away, she has so much power. Love it!

[@888mrshoe]

I am from uk it is a pleasure to listen to such talented kids enjoying themselves , bless these American kids

[@Sharke2121]

The do 'Jesus, What a Wonderful Child' on the CD/DVD and it is terrific!! Oh yeah, thanks again girls for honoring those soldiers!!

[@ashleync29]

1. They do not sing "pop start crap" 2. I have never heard any of these songs on the radio They add their own touch of magic to whatever they sing and really make the song their own.

[@Sharke2121]

Just an FYI for those wondering, and noI have not readall the comments... These girls are really bigt in supporting the US military, and the families, they have done awesome things with the Snowball project for kids that have lost loved ones in service, wounded vets, just tons of things. All in the blog stuff. I love these patriots!

[@raeram2008]

i am not surprised that the guy in the back reacts to andi's singing haha

[@tuppulla]

Another wonderful performance. Merry Christmas. I hope all your Christmas wishes come true. ~Lisa from Chicago

[@eldudeny]

I'm so proud of these young Americans showing support for our troop. I too served but at a time when we soldiers were spat upon and called baby killers by the peace loving hippies. Thank you ladies for your support.

[@jasminepostada]

How sweet! Performing for the president must have been really fun and awesome!

[@jwmcmac]

All a-cappella . . . better than most can do with a microphone . . . They must have fantastic family and such to do all they do . . . and those girls really have devoted a lot to do all they have done. GOD Bless them all.

[@SweetXSinner]

5:48 is amazing!!! I love this part! They are amazing and really talented for their age.. seriously, wow.

[@simplesandy]

OMG!!! I sit here with tears in my eyes . how beautiful can you get. this is such a wonderful gift for our soldiers. as I walked through the airport many times I see troops getting deported and I always stop to say thak you because of you I can rest easily. thank you cactus cutties God Bless

[@Sharke2121]

Hey Troops, if any are able to see this, know you are all in our prayers and thoughts. It is hoped that the politicos will get their act together and give you everything you need! WE LOVE YOU! THANKS!

[@Sharke2121]

This FREE and IMPROMPTU concert for our soldiers was a grand CHRISTmas present!! Now my holidays are not complete without hearing this at least once a day! MERRY CHRISTMS to ALL~~!!~~

[@Caeridwyn]

Every time I hear them perform it makes me cry. They have such beautiful voices and and souls to match them. These girls represent all that is good and precious in this country. In today's America, there is a spreading distaste for all things patriotic. If we cannot love, support and respect our men and women of the armed forces, what does that say about our character? Can a group of girls stand proudly as patriots while the rest of the Nation sits and boos from the stands?

[@rosser368]

Why is everyone so surprised? That's what "ANGELS" do. May God Bless and keep the troops in the audience safe from harm, and a prayer for their speedy return to their loved ones. Rest assured God will always bless and keep his "Angels" safe.

[@sheck120]

Through the voices of our youth, come the hopes for our future!! These young women tell the story with their words, and hopefully it is heard by the masses! From the mouth of babes come the greatest gift!

[@Andothul]

These girls are gonna be big. What a great thing they did. Look at the smiles on those soldier's faces

[@sailingcoinpiano123]

I am touched. Those three words say it all.

[@ashleync29]

I love watching the soliders in the background while they sing. You can certainly tell that they appriciated them.

[@MrBillTroop73]

Ya know what makes me cry? To find out that these girls missed their own flight home, just so they could sing for our soldiers! My own son came back just a few months ago from spending his year in Afghanistan, and your special love shown to our soldiers is greatly appreciated! May God bless you all! Bill

[@Kattx07]

LOL I love the guy at 2:10! He's enjoying the performance and gettin' down throughout the whole video! Just watching him having so much fun makes me smile.

[@Sharke2121]

The love of country and support they always have for our military really gets to me. Children being so aware and so involved are truly a hope for us all! Wonderful of you all in the Cutie camp!

[@ILOVEUMPS]

What a wonder gift fromt hese young and talented ladies! I am sure those soldiers appreciated every minute of it. My hats off to them for doing this!

[@courtney2323]

this was the first cutie video i ever saw. and obviusly i was blown away. but im def partial to this one as my favorite video becuase of that. I have to say the matching outfirts drew me in.. LOL

[@carley.martone]

Every time I watch this video I get tears in my eyes. This is by far my favorite video of the Cuties. Thank you girls. And thank you troops who are fighting to protect us. And thank you Russell Hansard, my fiance, who is currently serving with the Air Force. I love you.

[@Sharke2121]

They do 'Children of America' and 'Jesus, Oh What a Wonderful Child' in the shows recorded for their DVD. Unbelievable quality in audio and sound, and twenty other songs. Everyone should have their DVD!! It is an awesome experience every time you watch it!

[@thedisneygirl1234]

Watch the black guy. The whole time. He's feelin it and does commentary the whole way through =)

[@star4u022]

my brother, uncle and 2 cousins are in the military and im so glad you support our troops and go out of the way for them. thank you for that and im sure it ment alot to the soldiers

[@Sharke2121]

This is my most favorite performance! What a wonderful present to those going into harms way. I know many of those soldiers boarded their flight with a little better understanding of what they were being sent to far off lands for! LOVE you girls!

[@cdo4Jesus]

This made me cry! What an awesome thing these young ladies did for our men and women in uniform!! What a way to send them off and hopefully will stay on their minds and another reminder of why they fight and defend our Republic! God bless you girls!

[@dooup]

I wonder how long will they stick together?...We'll love them more and more ... IF they can keep more and more insync through out the -Years- Just like wine .. They'll have a great impact on ppl and they'll keep that name well respected.. If they don't change it.

[@roxynikko2]

No mics, no stage and one of my favs. I've watched it so many time that I've basically memorized all the songs. lol

[@Jeaners1033]

Nice job love yalls singing

[@jwmcmac]

One more thing . . . just want to say again . . . You girls taking the time . . .and . . . your managers (and parents) making the time to sing for those Soldiers . . . is too beautiful for words. I'm sure you won't be able to do that just any time you want . . . but it is so fantastic that you did it on this occasion. . . . and Wow! . . . you girls can really really really sing (and choreograph) good. GOD Bless you all and the Soldiers too.

[@CathCathx3]

These little girls are amazing. When I read the info on the video I started to cry. I love our soldiers so much. Everything they do for us is incredible. And for the Cactus Cuties to give back to them before being deployed, its amazing. (:

[@bjm3458]

They are just too cute and oh, so talented! A wonderful impromptu concert for such a worthy cause. Hugs to each of you!

[@All4TubeVLOGGER]

that was awesome and very thoughtful!!

[@simplesandy]

OMG!!! I sit here with tears in my eyes . how beautiful can you get. this is such a wonderful gift for our soldiers. as I walked through the airport many times I see troops getting deported and I always stop to say thak you because of you I can rest easily. thank you cactus cutties God Bless xoxo

[@LollyCast]

They are so good!

[@0Ritee]

We live in Texas on the Gulf Coast, and would love to go see them but it's still too far away. About 10 hrs. They're awesome and would love to see them before it costs $300 a ticket.

[@PhanRegSop]

This is the best video by far. I wonder what the troops were thinking about hearing this after they just left their loved ones... and before Christmas nonetheless.

[@Texas989]

this is a wounder full thing to come out hear and they really do apreachate this a lot i know i done this before...............

[@cst270]

That was AWESOME! I'm sure that performance provided some bit of comfort to those women and men as they headed overseas! You girls are so wonderful! There's no doubt your hearts are in the right place! Great performance!

[@delusionalkiing]

What a wonderful thing they did!

[@DMMoulton]

Girls, this was a very selfless, thoughtful gesture, and I'm sure that the troops greatly appreciated it. Keep it up! Happy holidays to all of you and yours...

[@crazeescotts]

WOW! This is so fun. Great of you guys to do that. So touching!! We're so proud of the CACTUS CUTIES!!! Julie, Maeci & Hannah

[@Sharke2121]

These wonderful young patriots set an example few can match no matter the age! They are dedicated to honoring our service people when ever and where ever possible. Very few show such love of country and love for those that serve it.

[@whistlinbird]

Awesome as always! So very proud of you . . .

[@rainbowmuppet]

Yup. Impromptu, all right. You can tell because of their perfectly matching outfits. But seriously, these girls are really good!

[@tyalexis26]

i LOVE the cactus cuties!!! i am their BIGGEST fan!!!! i love the dude in the background tht gets everybody goin lol

[@Sharke2121]

Still one of my favorite 'adventures' you girls have shared with us... just so awesome to think of what your performance did for and in these soldiers...

[@Sharke2121]

@jwmcmac You are right on the girls' families, dedicated to the their best interest as people first! The girls have been singing since birth, and together for over 7 years under one super teacher/coach and support group. Their love of singing is obvious as is their love of sharing their God given gifts. They bless us with their talents and personalities. :- )

[@Sharke2121]

The girls are always 'coordinated' in dress when together, even in the studio. This is not the first thing they have done on the spur of the moment. They joined a dude playing for tips a couple of years ago, added a bit of their song to his playlist!

[@poppy2312]

i love watching this one girlies, awesome awesome awesome job, I am sooo proud of everything you do for your country and i'm sure soooo many others are to including your amazing cactus theatre family. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@LisaNova]

They are so talented and thoughtful! - Lisa

[@xXxMarytxXx]

I love the black guy in the backround. It looks like he has very much fun!

[@americangirlmusician]

This was added on my birthday!

[@jdg48439]

This is just so amazing. You girls are beyond wonderful human beings. God bess always and forever. Jeff

[@emilylengriffin]

I love these kids

[@Sharke2121]

Thank you for your service Matty, and don't worry about the Cuties, they are all well grounded and KNOW what price has been paid time and again for our freedom, they are true patriots!

[@Sharke2121]

Great video for the Christmas season!! Hard to belive how long ago this was!

[@mjfantasywoman]

these girls are fantastic! I love the candid moment!! True talent

[@LovesBrooklyn2]

You girls did really great! Impressive! Congrats!

[@Driftboatbum]

Awesome!

[@EtzEchad]

Awesome as usual. More awesome though is our great men and women who were putting their lives on the line. I'm glad the CCs were willing to honor them this way. Go Cuties!

[@hehami245]

you girls are amazing

[@Sharke2121]

Still stirs my heart when I watch these patriots giving all they can for our troops!

[@Tatooine92]

Fantastic cause!

[@ashleync29]

He said "Go head!" and something about church. lol.

[@lilsiany15]

WOW that was amazing! it was SO nice of you to sing for the soliders in the middle of the airport!!!!! xx

[@Pooplydoo]

loving the guy in the background!!

[@2Jennifer1]

That was amazing! It's just so great to watch these soldiers getting amazed by the girls. Try watching the tall dark skinned guy that comes in view on the far left at about 1.06 and goes and stand next to the short white guy at about 1.10. He's just blown away by the cuties throughout the rest of the vid.

[@ArcadiaJade]

AMAZING job, girls!!!!! I love the cuties. This was a great live impromtu concert!

[@Sharke2121]

I come and listen to this wonderful performance when I get upset with what the new casts are telling us is destroying the USA... Thanks girls, this always puts things right when I see you doing what you do!! God Bless the USA and the Cactus Cuties!!

[@teganjacinta]

Children of American never fails to give me goosebumps!

[@60x30x60x]

Its pretty cool to see how music can effect people. That black guy in the background proves that! He's digging this performance....love it!

[@Drum2live]

they have some nice runs.

[@poppy2312]

This is sooo awesome, and i have that top :D love you all soooooo much thank you sooo much for everything you do and have done :D xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[@MaryJ41]

I usually don't comment, even though I think these girls have an awesome God given gift. Congrats to them!!! I have watched this video many times. Unfortunately, the men and women that fight for our freedom don't get a lot of recognition, this was such a wonderful idea! I'm not positive what year this is, but wonder if any of those men and women that were there have contacted any of the cuties staff to let them know how they are doing?

[@JaneWillowMusic]

AMAZING GIRLS! just greaaaat! I'm very bad compared to them. Haha. just great!

[@ieshaallday]

this brings a smile to my face

[@barbarachen]

They are amazing. 'nuff said.

[@Sharke2121]

Those are reputed to be some really bad dudes!! That is quite impressive!

[@sabrinalomax]

there very good at singing

[@Sharke2121]

@Briana4evah They each have a great voice, and are super soloist! You should get the DVD they have out! You have not experienced these fantastic talents yet! :- )

[@californialinchen]

without microphones - do you know how hard this is??? I love the Cuties - always did, always will..

[@slwood1955]

Wow!

[@Sharke2121]

The way the Cuties' songs are arranged, and how they put voice to them makes them about as unique as I can imagine. Just my opinion of course, but no body sounds like the Cactus Cuties, regardless of the song. : )

[@PixiePwnage]

This is such a touching and beautiful gesture. They are such sweet and talented girls. I'm actually really jealous that they sing so much better than me, haha. :)

[@Sharke2121]

What is your problem? Yes, most music groups travel with sound tracks and such. However, these great performers could have easily entertained the troops with only a cappella songs! Get over it and enjoy one super group of talent!

[@AlwaysBelieveInHopes]

@MaryJ41 This was December 14, 2008. They were on their way home from Washington D.C., where they performed for at The White House December 13, 2008

[@MeandTobin]

I love love love love a thousand times LOVE this!

[@AnaMii91]

That was awesome,you`re soo amazing,that was relly suporting for soliders!

[@smiggles1776]

there's talent like this existing in this world, in my country. And the most hip music here is techno. What a shame.

[@taylorswiftrox59]

@rainbowmuppet They always dress alike. It doesn't matter if it's a little thing like this, if they're in the studio, or if they're singing for the president.

[@GingerJuliet]

You guys inspire me. I want to have a singing group and I won't give up till I get one. I wish I could see you live but you haven't come to Indiana yet :( Please come
