[diegoo1893]

[deltaguy28]

[ILoveVikingsInArmour]

[crazyhead2010]

She is a really good singer!

[brianelihu]

I always knew Eminem had a good taste in music this song has such a nice hook and idk how Em's song would sound the same without this hook, nice live performance by the way

[Unkutist]

We all go down

like tyo soldiers

[ladyanissina1]

absolutely amazing!!!!



[marola920]

tudo que bom acaba

[heller50]

very talented singer. Im sure she's quite popular in her country since she didn't pad some company's ego in the united states.

[NewPSCity]

@heller50 Umm she is was born in California.So ur either joking or u just believe that every hispanic looking person is from a different country. LOL

100000000000000000000000000000­0000000000000000% nice

[3KOBAIN]

The music industry doesn't look for real talent, only people that they can make money off of. This girl had what it took, but IMO wasn't given a fair shot, most likley because she wouldn't sell out to them.

[SophieMcCartneyx]

czezch, wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin!

[tokyowhat]

Crimen Sollicitationis

[BraunerBomberBatzen]

i listen to metal, but this song is an exeption, i love it, so much power

and no i dont listen to power metal

[fizzellicious]

i remember i cut my hair like that!

[ohthatj]

Martika wrote this song, kids. with Michael Jay. Singing backup are Fergie & Jennifer Love Hewitt, among others...

[Mav0510]

@ohthatj Wasn't it Prince who wrote it for her?

[ohthatj]

@Mav0510 No, he worked with her on Martika's Kitchen, her second album, "Love, Thy Will Be Done" "Martika's Kitchen." Apparently, he was very impressed with "Toy Soldiers."

[TheHAYATO1019]

Great song!Great voice!

[suesuelexus7254]

COOL! ImI !!

[jt4ee]

When was this?

[BVB09]

i love the Song !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 

[Akee1990]

Why do people call her a one hit wonder.This was NOT her only hit (Top 40)

[SylvianRues]

Wow so great you recorded this

[apples007]

@1ninjaofluv Actually it was neither MJ or Prince that produced this song. Prince didn't work with her until her 1991 album Martika's Kitchen.

[southport97]

Almost as hot as Alizee.

[sexymex81]

That Tv Announcer at the end has an Annoying voice :D Right?

[KILLERMIKE441]

she is fucking hot

[3KOBAIN]

@KILLERMIKE441 100% freakin agree.

[CrueMilano]

I miss Martika so fuckin' much!

[starlight1780]

it came out 1989 and she is still good

[eloso1961]

[Muzzie0323]

[katitalinda100]

[katitalinda100]

preciosa cancion

[malaikaat]

piękna!!!

greetings frm Poland;)

[allang1968]

@malaikaat hello ...I am part Polish from my dad's side of family....this was a great song back then!

[luchozx]

Great song!

[UPSCLARK1]

She was probably one of the best artist that I have ever met

[MikeLomb]

Thanks for posting this! My wife saw her live on this tour in '89 and she said Martika was amazing; I'd have to agree after hearing this!

[justmeppl]

Fraking amazin! Kids now days dont know good music. If it isn't lil wayne or diddy, they dont want to listen. This music paved the way for EVERY song out there right now!

[AdamBC13]

@justmeppl I'm 16, and I love music from this decade :) I just wanted to point out that it's not every kid, but I understand. 99% of my age group listens to crap.

[corsairpk]

@AdamBC13 ur right old songs are good

[SebaL001]

oh shit, i'm gonn' cry !

[MrManamana666]

every time i listen to this song i feel like a child again as this was released in my childhood... i love it so much

[nikomelan]

que buena cancion...

[tweethang1]

What ever happened to Martika?

[TheManiacOnWheelsUSA]

@tweethang1 She got married, and she and her husband formed a pop/punk band.

[IrishAngel2001]

love this song, heard it a few times on h1 classic, next week it's on my ipod.

[AnnaKljl]

Her vocal range is amazing and outstanding, generally.

[saudsaud11]

wow how much i love women

they are headech but cant live without them

they give that special sensations :)

[huntingtonparkway]

If you remember Jenniffer Lopez tried to copy this look when she was a dancer on In Living Color

[trinigirl212]

@huntingtonparkway That girl/JLow will never say it in a million years.

How much she envied Martika.

Martika had class something Jennifer Lopez will never have.

I'm sorry I had to say it.

[2minty4]

an example for today's ,,singers''

[npeg76]

@2minty4

A real good example mate. She can't sing in tune here, and most of today's singers can't sing in tune either. Don't leave your day job.....

[ZZAAN84]

Whenever I click on a "live" performance I am always braced to hear something that sounds like shit. What a pleasant surprise to hear one of my favorite songs sung PERFECTLY! WHAT A VOICE! And those brown eyes...I am definitely twitterpated!

[grep67]

My goodness is she beautiful... just as I remembered her in the 80's... wow!

[funkyflights]

This song keeps popping up on my to watch videos.... I swear to god every time I hear this song it just takes me back to my youth.... This song is really beautiful....

[borileofl]

Luv this song, I remembered it when eminem came out with his version which sucks!!!

[EcoTriGem]

i got to know her through eminem... glad to have found the original. she gives me the chills... omg

[Mystify73]

Fuck off YOU TUBE. every version of thsat good song is forbidden.

[hAnD90]

very good live vocals!!!

[protocl]

if we had this kind of talent these days...may be this new generation would be smarter.

[dadevi]

@protocl This kind of talent is out there. Unfortunately, the greatest of my generation can't sell enough albums to compete with the Rhianna's and the Beyonce's.

[protocl]

@dadevi so true.

[Alexdurrant7]

@dadevi Beyoncé, in my opinion, is one of the only modern singers possessing good vocal ability. She is powerful, versatile and technical.

[dadevi]

@Alexdurrant7 *shudders at your definition of good vocal quality*

[Alexdurrant7]

@dadevi So people fitting your definition of good vocal quality don't have powerful, versatile, broad and technical voices?

[dadevi]

@Alexdurrant7 I wouldn't call Beyonce's voice broad or technical. Chrisette Michele is an excellent technical singer. Phyllis Hyman had a powerful voice that was powerful, versatile, broad, and technical. These two women are true singers, and they are just two examples of the ones I know. Beyonce doesn't make my list, simply because her voice isn't as good. She just gets more airplay because of the looks factor.

[efcpl]

One hit wonder, wonder why she did´nt have more.

[TheKamikazeMAR]

What a brilliant performance.Could not be better.

[npeg76]

Oh dear. Great song. Pity about the live vocals. Honestly people, she's not that good. She's outta whack right throughout the song.....

[mikeborja1]

@npeg76 I don't know if she is out of tone but after listening to lady gaga live, this sounds like heaven ;)

[jnorrisish]

i fucked her!

[xMuffinzGrewWiingzx]

@jnorrisish

...Sure~. You wish.

[willythehero]

@Supersweetguy, Wikipedia has her DOB in May of 1969, which makes her one year older than me. Anyway, despite the quality of the video, her voice still very closely sounds just like the studio recording. And she looked great with short hair although I prefer long hair.

[mickie27james]

i LOVE how she sings the chorus

[MrSamuelW]

I think she almost sounds better live. In the chorus she does.

[13066938]

Amazing Live Voice!!!

I loved this song at the 80's and i still love him today:-)))

[felphero]

i had no idea who this girl was, i'm only here cuz of the eminem song, but damn she really can sing, and you can tell this is not a blayback (expect for the children and stuff)

[topshonuff]

Her and Fergie was in Kids Incorporated in the late 80's..

[Supersweetguy]

I was amazed at how she would sing this song... Awesong song that was sunged by Martika....

[Zinc931]

@Supersweetguy sunged is not a word. . .

[Supersweetguy]

Sorry my bad. She sings this song hahaha...

[Jmangan412]

Wow her eyes kill me too sexy

[BritneyAwesomeSpears]

OMG, I didn't watch the title and skipped to reading something else while listening to this, and assumed that this was the CD version. WOW.

[paulielexx]

I believe this was from the Arsenio Hall show

[toxiq4u]

Dayuum I didnt know that she can sing really good live?!?! I am such a huge fan of such artist that can really sing live, you get your moneys worth!

[energycmtep30]

Great voice :)

[tazztower44]

i love you martika

[SonBren4ever]

i remember this song from the 80's. She was great on Kids Incorporated.

[tak178]

She owned that song. That's back when you actually had to have talent to have a career. It's too bad that her career didn't do very well after this stellar song.

[MikeLomb]

@tak178 Yeah that Tarzan and Jane song didn't do very well for her and her softmore album was ignored by most radio stations and MTV as well.

[handzam]

@tak178 Michael Jackson compose and produced this song, that made Martika put to the top. Her only no. one song. Somehow your right, her career did'nt do very well.

[RideMyBMW]

Want to see a performer on top of their game ? This chick was the total bomb back in 88-89.

[pigypigy2008]

love her

[cushcrack]

Martika owns property here in Park City, Utah... Seen her shopping at Gateway Mall a few times... She wasn't as big here in SLC as she was in Miami.. She still looks HOTTTT though!

[jfizzay]

this song about drug addiction. she look like she high while she performing it. lol.

[kjkhsj]

you are so WRONG

[gradeguy01]

actually it wuz about her bf having a drug promblem he died

[pookeeeee]

Sing it Martika! That a girl!

[carmaj156]

Love her kicking the floor at 3:43.

[alucardts]

Martika used to be hot, oozing talent and beauty in her prime... but I wonder what she looks like now and what she's been doing up to this day. What a nice song, it brings back fond memories.

[Ryansgirl29]

She's singing in a band called Oppera with her husband Michael Mozart :)

[alucardts]

Really? Oh, thanks for telling me.She's probably in her 40s now, but it's no surprising she's still pretty!

[Supersweetguy]

She was born in 1971, so that pretty much makes her almost 39, like Winona Ryder who would be 39 this year....

[alucardts]

@Supersweetguy

-

Yes. Thanks for the information.

[Ryansgirl29]

Also,she's still very pretty :)

[carmaj156]

She looks exactly the same

[alucardts]

Wow, it's good to know

[alucardts]

some people age well. seems like they're vampires :P

[janbob73]

it realy makes you think about addictions me and my boyfreind are both recovering alcolics it makes you think

[noemistephanie93]

wow she is incredible live!!! why didn't she stay famous like madonna did?!? martika HAS talent!!!

[funkyflights]

It's not really fair to compare her to Madonna ... Madonna is MAD talented and has so many hits you can hardly count them over the years... Martika has talent though... and this song is SO GOOD... she just never really took off... but that's ok because she made her mark..

[kosmoboi]

this is about her drug use..truly amazing she came out of it alright..LOVE MARTIKA

[Eds7570]

expertly performed, great song full of passion.

[schall051079]

[demonicnature]

she sounds good live and she is hot i would love to make love to her but in my dreams eh

[154reno]

its not as bad as lsd

[rmir2]

Drugs is the worst kind of torture that man has ever invented. No neuckear bombs, no chemical or biological veapon has caused so much pain and suffering to humans as did drugs. Dead to anyone who help spread this anti-human torture. We got to put an end to it - NOW!

[LoserkidMacbeth]

WHAT! No more nyquill!? No more advil!? How dare you?!

[paulandrew1971]

this is thebest message i have read on youtube, well said.

[albruno09]

even with out make up ..she's so hot.

this is one of those songs that helped some of my friends and me kick the cocain habit back inthe early 90,s...thanks markity for recording this song....you helped save my life....and for my fallen friends who passed on, still locked up or still fighting thier personal war...may god be with ya'll.

[MEMTigers08]

[sdaisy079]

lol so true! :)

[estestim]

this is from star search

[tpmum]

@estestim This performance is actually from Supermodel of the World 1989.

[estestim]

@tpmum ok i was close, It was stage that throw me off.

[blitzkanone]

@tpmum Also maybe an indirect criticism of this industry? Would be interesting, even for nowadays...

[arturodamian]

wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
