This is my lifelong favorite song. While Stevie's version is perfection, Martina's version is beautiful because her voice is like her...a national treasure. But no one will ever sing this song like Stevie does.
just like everything Martina ever does, that was an amazing performance of a gorgeous song. What an incredible combination of 2 of the greatest talents the world has ever seen (the singer and the songwriter)

How can this be? Martina has built her career from fans who love God and America. By performing for Obama, she may as well have told her fans to go fuck themselves. I will never buy another Martina cd again. I expect this from pop stars, but not country singers.

Do you realize how stupid that is coming from a man who claims to own a '72 Challenger? If you love that car, you should be voting republican. The very DNC you support hates your car and thinks you're causing global warming. But you're probably a union member and will drink the cool-aid that any democrat gives you.
Yeah she messed it up so bad that you can see Stevie is the first to start clapping, smiling and showing his appreciation and following the performance he was so impressed he offered to write her a song . . . that is how bad she messed it up. . .

Stevie's very humble and nice when people do his covers, anyone who knows shit about Stevie knows this so him praising her and offering to do a song for her don't=good performance. She sounds HORRIBLE hear compared to his live renditions. Of course you not giving any support in terms of her vocals (outside siting Stevie's comments) shows you don't have a good arguement anyway.
I don't think so . . . Michael's great but she own's this version. It is unfortunate that country music has clouded people's perception of how great of a vocalist she really is. She could outsing any artist of the last 20 years handsdown.
PLEASE COME TO THE fedex forum in memphis,tenn. or the desoto civic center in southaven, ms!!! that would mean the world to me. i am a huge fan. i am 15 and i live in mississippi. i have been dyin tosee you in concert forever and so are alot of people here. you my favorite singer ever!! i love you.
that was great she did a good job the obamas must really love this song they we holding hands really tight i think i know what they did later that night lol lol
Martina: "...THERE was STEVIE. Someone introduced us and he was so nice! He said, "I want to write a song for you.". Can you believe that????!!!! I said, "that would be amazing"..."
I completely disagree . . . it was sung perfectly especially if you look at her phrasing, the tonal quality, the vocal range, the ability to let loose and bring it back in at the end - absolutely incredible. She stole the show - next to Stevie of course!
Thank you for posting this! Outstanding performance - especially the way she shows her range at the end. She did Stevie proud and what an honor for her!
Ya know, I had the same thought as you ... personally I think it was "borderline" short in length, but since she is such a classy lady, I give her the blessing since she exudes 110% class and professionalism!
Sorry but no one sings Stevie like Stevie himself, nice performance but very far from the master's blaster !

Wrong key for her, too low... but I love Martina so much and she can sing anything. Michael Buble's version is the best..

I love the dress. She looks incredibly sexy while still pulling off class.
Amazing..... : )
BrookeAnn1013 2 years ago
The performance was good but that dress was a little too short to be standing in front of the president. Just my opinion.
