Here's a crazy story for you. Martina came to Nashville from Kansas to become a singer. But even with that voice she couldn't get a deal. Her husband got a job as promotion manager and took her out on tour to help sell T shirts. But soon the headliner noticed her voice and ask her to become his opening act. Proof that the artist know more than the executives. We can all thank Garth Brooks.

Martina McBride - independence day is another great one

I was a victim of child abuse and I was determined to break the cycle with my son. Powerful video and strong reaction.

"Alyssa lies" by John Michael Carroll is a great song. There is no way u can watch it without tears.

Sushi I don't think you noticed the ending... The boy was her guardian angel, he took her to a place she could be happy at the end and she was smiling.

About Martin's voice, Vince Gill said, "heaven has the Angels and country music has Martina McBride."

She has a HUGE voice when she wants to. She is one of those little women with a giant voice.

Did you notice.. the boy was an “angel” god knew she was coming and sent the boy to bring her into heaven..

The little boy was her angel and he took her to play with the other kids who died as well. You didn’t seem to realize that. Martina McBride also sings a great song called Broken Wing.

This song is painful... No child should ever be hurt in any way by anyone, but especially by their parents who are meant to protect them at all cost!!!

OMG, I haven't even watched this yet but I already know you're gonna cry. This song I've heard a couple hundred times. I work in Country radio. I cry each and every time I hear this song. Also her song "God's Will". Martina knows how to make a person ugly cry, I can tell you that.

Martina McBride Independence Day and with a broken wing are amazing as well

This songs been out almost 20 years and I still cry when I hear it or watch the video. The video gets me...every time!

Martina has one of the most powerful voices in the music industry. You should do her song “I’m Gonna Love You Through It.”

This song totally reflects the abuse that I suffered at the hands of my so called father, the biggest difference is that I managed to survive my abuse and this poor little girl didn't and this song always brings me to tears because this very easy could've been my fate!!!!

All these country songs are making me feel things inside I've never felt.

I've heard this song 10 years ago. I broke down in tears probably a minute into hearing this song. I have a very strong paternal instinct and look forward to the day I get to be a father. It's songs like this that also makes me want to adopt. All children deserve to grow up surrounded with love.

So happy you reacted to this video. I cry every time but the message really hits you hard. Check out broken wing by Martina McBride.

Martina McBride has one of the best voices to ever sing country music she’s amazing one of my favorites.. you must watch “with a broken wing” that song is powerful

Martina McBride doesn't even need a microphone. Her voice is so powerful.

"Gods Will" from Martina McBride is a beautiful song, good message.

You should follow it up with Martina singing Independence Day which tackles similar subject matter but with a powerful twist.

Sweetie, you are spot on with what you said. There is never any justification to hurt a child. They don't ask to be born, and as you said, they don't get to choose their parents. It's a sad state. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction to this song. And you noticed that the little boy was her angel. So sad about a very tragic situation.

Martina doesn't even need a microphone.....one of the most powerful voices ever.

😭this was my first wife’s favorite singer. She passed away in ‘15 from a lengthy battle with cancer.

Great reaction. How anybody can watch this without shedding a tear is beyond me. Thanks!

Did you notice that the little boy she made friends with was also an Angel? When he stepped through everyone at the burial and saw her on the other side-and they smiled and hugged and then ran off to play with all the other angel children- very well done video but oh so heartbreaking- 💜🤘🏼✌️

This song kills me and I cry every time I hear it.

Martina is an amazing person. Her voice is so strong.

The little girl by john michael montgomery..🙏🙏🙏

This is a powerful song by an amazing artist. Kansas is so proud of our Martina! There's so many more of her songs that you should hear. Oh Holy Night is ah-mazing!

Gah!! Another tearjerker oh my goodness I can’t get through it. Martina has one of the best voiced in music! Just beautiful. So powerful. Enjoying your country reactions!

I’ve always seen it as all those kids at the end were also victims of abuse and they were there to welcome her home. And the little boy was there before she died to help her transition. It’s heartbreaking. I was a victim of child abuse, luckily when I was older and had more strength, I talked to my mom about it and got the church involved and she went to anger management and started taking medication for depression and she stopped hurting me. She’s never hurt my younger siblings. I was one of the lucky ones.

If you want to hear Martina McBride, you have to hear the song Independence Day. The power of this little womans voice cant be touched. Please keep it up Martha.

Her voice is amazing. Love her. More good ones are Love you through it and independence day

Great reaction. Thanks for sharing. Its so sad that such a beautiful song had to be written. What a beautiful voice she has.

Please react to Broken Wing by Martina McBride!

Don’t laugh at me - Mark Wills About judging books by their cover, really good!

There’s another song by Martina Mcbride called “I’m gonna love you through it” it’s all about a spouse supporting their partner through cancer battle and the effects that it left

You should do "The Dance"~ Garth Brooks I've listened to Concrete Angel so many times. It has been one song that has brought me to tears almost every time. It is a powerful song and even though I can't relate to it I know there are people out there who can. I love the amount of honesty you put in this video. Thank you for sharing.

A good one by Reba, with a powerful message is " She thinks his name was John"

“When it rains it pours” - Luke Combs YOU’LL LOVE THIS ONE!

Beautiful song. Very important message. There's nothing worse than hurting an innocent child as far as I'm concerned. Great reaction!

I'm a 27 year old man and I cry my eyes out every time I see this video. No shame.

Martina McBrides songs always have a message and her songs are as gorgeous as she is.

Martina actually dedicated this song to her neice who died at her mother's hands. the little girl's grave was her neice's, Angela Carter:1995-2002.

I love your reactions, see a lot of reaction videos out there but none with the vulnerability you display.. it’s refreshing to see something so real.

Martina is one of my all-time favorite signers, Considering all that power in her voice comes from a 5 foot tall 90 pound package of dynamite. Its even more impressive

"Patty Loveless: How can I help you say goodbye" Please, Thank you.

I've just binged about 2 hrs of your video reactions. Martina has a great voice and I'd like to see your reaction to her video "independence day" . Its probably her biggest hit

A great song by Martina is "This One's for the Girls" - you'd like it!

I love this song. I am a survivor not of the exact situation but of other circumstances. Beautiful song and amazing voice!!

Thank you Sush - just for being you. Your heart is huge, your emotions are raw, your future is bright. I love your romantic perspectives and your hidden strength. Your reactions are so true and honest. You smile is addictive. Thank you again. Chuck in NE Kansas

Martina is from my home county in Kansas. She grew up singing in church and then in her dad's rock and roll band. She switched to country for a career and then there ya go. She is full of talent and a wonderful woman who changes lives with her music.

This song shatters me ...I grew up in a small town.( in az) .big family...everyone so close.. ( over time my family lost so many to addictions and cancer ) ... I moved away to tn to work ... while at work I got sent 3 videos ( audio) ...I had to listen to them a few times because at first I didnt recognize the voices ...and I was in disbelief...it made me throw up even.. long story short my aunt in the audio was literally beating my cousin ( her great nephew) he was 6 and for 3 solid minutes u can hear her making contact with his little body .... and no one helped him....everyone walked out ( i cant describe the depth of helplessness I felt in that moment ... knowing I was hundreds of miles away and cudnt be there in person to stop it )...his sister recorded it and sent it to me ...I called the cops to stop her ...she then contacted me and said she had just snapped and I had betrayed the family and her by calling the cops and I told her ...the day she choose to put her hands on that baby is the day she herself betrayed the family ....there is no excuse in this world that could justify hurting an innocent kid.... if you see something..say something " it shouldn't hurt to be a child" .. I never imagined my family would have even been in this situation ...its heart breaking from every angle

"Alyssa Lies" is along this same line, and made my heart break. God bless and protect our children

Craig Morgan the father my son and the holy ghost, 3rd time requesting it please react🔥🔥🔥

Martina isn't afraid to take on topics that others shy away from, and I believe I'm correct in saying that she publicizes resources that help and donates to them from the proceeds of these recordings.

This story is very close to my story. My father was physically, verbally, emotionally, and spiritually abusive. I'm just glad we (I'm the oldest of 6) all made it somehow. I'd have said something. I never want someone else to go through what I have.

Martina has been one of my all time favs for over 20 years. This video still makes me cry every time I watch it. GOD Bless these precious souls. 💕

This song especially always got to me. I was abused when I was 9 by my mom's ex and since being taken away from my mom, I've searched forever to find my own place in the world. I've always wanted to go back to my mother, but since I've grown, I've realized I don't deserve someone who always chose someone before me. I always think this could have been me.. I'm grateful for my life everyday.

Martina McBride has done several songs that deal in more controversial veins. Domestic Abuse, Poverty, and despair. And she has the power to drive the message home. Listen to Independence Day and A Broken Wing for more in this area. She is one of the most powerful voices there are.

“I’m gonna miss her” - Brad Paisley

Reba McIntyre- Fancy

I saw the video Martina McBride was crying singing this song.She had become one of the top voices against child abuse and neglect

that little boy was the angel that took her to a better place

The little boy was her Angel... he took her hand and took her to heaven! 🧚🏻‍♀️

I love Martina. A strong female, country voice. So many songs give me all the feels. If you want a fun, sassy song by her, watch When God Fearing Women Get The Blues.

THANK YOU for posting I'm 66 yrs old and every time I hear this song it just kills me. GOD bless you Sushi

I love your reactions. You wear your emotions on your sleeve.

You have to listen to her songs "in my daughters eyes" and "gods will"

A lot of these country song...bring back my childhood.. What I grew up on.. Love to see these songs still around. As a Kid, you don't see all the story.. But listening to them again..Most have a meaning that is deep.

You have to listen to Craig Morgan's "The Father, my Son & the Holy Ghost" that song can bring soldiers to tears.. It's so good that it was recently the #1 downloaded song a cross all genres.

I've been watching you for a while. I enjoy seeing you experience new music from different genres. Considering Martina McBride, if you want to hear a great one by her with a unreal vocal - listen to her song "Independence Day"

My friend showed me and my sister this music video when i was 13 or 14 and boy did we ugly cry that day. I'm almost 25 now and this still makes me tear up when I hear it

The best sing Martina ever sung was broken wing now that’s a tear jerking sing Martina didn’t want to sing this song when she was pregnant 🤰 it hurt her . Martina is a small woman but, man she can sure hit those high notes

Little fact about Martina you might like. Before she had a record deal, she was selling GARTH BROOKS shirts at his concerts. Because her husband was Garths stage manager. And Garth Brooks is who helped her get the record deal

This song breaks my heart every time I hear it. Hurts to know that these horrible things happened to little ones

Ahhhh this one hit right in the feels😔

Me and my two older brothers were abused growing up. Me and my oldest brother watched our dad beat our other brother off and on for several hours. In the end he was bloody, scarred, and bruised from head to toe. That was in 1976 and I can still hear my brother crying out... "daddy please don't kill me !". In 1975 when I was 8 my teacher noticed bruises on me, that I disrupted class a lot, and got into lots of fights and took her concerns to the principle which contacted my parents and told them they needed to take me to a psychologist. My parents both bribed and threatened me to lie about the abuse. I did, but left home at 14 to live with my grandmother 5 states away. My grandmother was my saviour.

i remember listening to this song when i was in high school.....That was about 20 years ago. nice to see im not the only one that takes care of INDIVIDUALS

Y'all popped up in my feed and here I am...Y'all just gained a #newsub ❤❤❤ I can see y'all FEEL the music while reacting...blessings 💞💞💞 I LOVE LOVE LOVE Martina McBride she's a VOCAL BEASTESS❣❣❣ She always has a powerful message in her songs...💕💕💕

Please watch *Travis Tritt "anymore/Tell me I was dreaming " complete Sequel* It is sooo amazing and bring cleenex ^_^

I’m a 52 year old man now but that was my daily life until I left home. Spent many days as a youngster with a.41 pistol ready but he was lucky enough to not show up at the wrong time. Had my clothes stuck to me with blood from 3 till 17. Can relate to this song

Martina's music is emotional and passionate because they are about real life stories. This song is abou her 7 year old niece.

Thank you for sharing your reaction to this song. I love Martina, such a powerful voice. As a child, i was abused by my father, and have always had a strong connection to this song

Alissa Lies is also a FANTASTIC SONG of awareness for children’s struggles that adults far to often dismiss without notice 😞

It seems this is one of a very few genres that can tell stories and make you have feelings you can't get with any other genres. You should check out "Shine the Light" by Sugarland.

Martina McBride has the world's most beautiful eyes...

She is absolutely amazing live

The term concrete angel comes from the grave marker of Judith Barsi. She was only ten years old when she was murdered by her own father. She appeared in commercials and movies before her death. Her final role was as the voice of Anne-Marie in All Dogs Go To Heaven....

The boy had been her guardian angel all along. This song still makes me ugly cry 😢

This is a message that needs the light shined on it. A wounded child just guts me. We should all hurt enough to save an innocent child. We need to be their Safeplace. Powerful Martina, delivers it.

This song squeezes my heart 🥺

Some of my favorites from Martina are Independence Day, That’s Me, Wrong Again, and That Wasn’t Me.

Martina McBride was a T-shirt sales person for Garth brooks and one night did a mic test and that’s how she was discovered

It’s Toby Keith time...get Sushi laughing. How do you like me now.

You need to go down the Martina rabbit hole. She has a lot of great songs and a set of lungs to match!

Like I said before. You have a good soul and tender heart.

On a personal note alcoholism and domestic violence used to be a common thing in my family. Grandparents and great-grandparents. Reading my grandmothers diary(Sry grandma) after she passed away gave me a lot of prospective and really helped me understand some of her songs. In her case she was trapped with 9 kids. In 1950s she had no chance alone. I love my small-town, but it had an ugly side and this type of thing is it. The town knew about both sets of both situations and that they weren't all that nice at home. On the other side of the family, in this case my grandfather, picked his father up and threw him across the room because he punched his little sister. My grandfathers little sister was trying to stop their father from beating their mother. My grandfather was built short, stocky and all muscle, he was built like an OX. My great-grandfather was thin, scrawny, and short. But my grandfather was basically the provider of the house. His father drank is paychecks. My grandfather would literally take the beatings for his sibling because he the toughest person I ever knew. He was a very hard man as well, but I respect the hell out of him for who he was in the 40s. I've been looking for a spark to write a song about him. Anyways, Don't put it off, if your in a bad situation, things can escalate out of no where. People can get permanently messed up or killed in a flash. Just get out! Luckily I haven't witness many terrible things, but when things happen, there is now dramatic music or foreshadowing. It just happens. So don't! Don't put it off, don't give them a fifth or sixth chance, run do not walk to the nearest exit, do not collect 200 dollars (I'm being metaphorical with that last sentence). Take care everyone, we're all on this boat together. ~K
