Cactus Cuties Open For The Oak Ridge Boys

[fishda13]

baylee sounds so different when she sing with them i like how she said his truth is mar-ching on

[MeandTobin]

Blaire, holy cow girl!

[fishda13]

baylee voice sounds so cute when she sing solo and when she sing with them

[melisav3]

I just want to know who "dislike"s this video?? Seriously?!?!

[TT66KK42]

Man,there should be a button higher than "like" for this version of the Battle Hymn of the Republic. Thank you Cuties,I've never heard any better.

[UToobdad]

At 2:20 the Oak Ridge Boys are backstage thinking "oh shoot, we have to follow them?"

[ELCADAROSA]

@UToobdad - Yeah, I'd say the CC's upstaged them! :D

[ashleync29]

THIS Monday, October 25th, watch the Rachael Ray Show for a Cutie surprise! :)

[sillyrnu007]

I've watched a few of your performances and while your voices are really beautiful, what gets me is how clean and together your harmonies are. Everything just fits together so well. Each performance gives me chills. Fantastic job.

[thesupperdude411]

THIS IS NOT SUNG RIGHT

[MichaelaLeach]

@thesupperdude411 There is no right way to sing a song. It's open to interpretation. These girls did a fantastic job and did the song justice. Most people would argue that this is one of the better versions out there... I'm afraid you're alone on this one.

[kmillard]

@thesupperdude411 I never knew until now that Gah-lo-ree was a 3-syllable word.

[onemangarageband]

This is so unbelievably good. Words can't describe how good this is. I don't think a lot of folks truly get it--this is recorded on a regular little video cam with an ordinary little mic made for capturing speech not music. In person these girls must have the raw vocal power and electricity of the Beatles. I'm not kidding. It does not get better than this. Hope I get to see them in person someday.

[CoopDanC]

i love how you can hear Baylee really well at 00:27-00:30 :] they sound soo good on this song, i probably listen to it 10 times a day! and i love singing along with Blaire's riffs! :] God Bless!

[TT66KK42]

@CoopDanC

Couldn't agree with you more.I have found a video that highlights Baylee more than any others.Go to (CC's introduced by Ed McMahon).I think Baylee is the Rock of the Cuties that makes their sound so UNIQUE.

[Lsb412]

you can tell their voices have matured so much, especially madeline's last note!

[Sharke2121]

@Lsb412 one year later and they all have matured noticeably, Andi probably most noticable in the group... their progress is just astonishing, Cami keeps working with them and they keep finding refinements! Just remarkable! :- )

[pogochese]

Oh my gosh, you guys give me goosebumps when you sing <3

Don't EVER stop, you guys will make it far some day!!

[MeandTobin]

Stupendous. Amazing. Breathtaking. Aww inducing. Beautiful. Gorgeous. There are simply no words to describe these little girls.

[artesia7600]

please what beautiful song is this song called?

[tquinn554]

@artesia7600 "The Battle Hymn of the Republic." It's a famous song from the American Civil War. Written approximately in the 1860s, I would presume. If I recall correctly, the words are by Julia Ward Howe, a famous abolitionist (opponent of salvery in the years leading to the War).

[goodmorning713]

i can't get enough of this song

[SheaplusMe]

Saw your band on Yahoo Answers, you guys are great! 

[mfhrjh]

you guys have such amazing voices!! my names maggie, and i dont know if i should ask, but its worth a shot.. you guys should sing Fallin For You by Clobie Calliat!! i think your voices are just perfect for it!! and i also think it would get a lot of hits... please and thankyou!!

[sarahfosnaught]

Bullhead, thank you SO much for posting all of the videos of the girls. They're amazing! So much talent...and so young! I was looking up videos for another one of my favorite a Capella groups, Straight No Chaser, and I found you somehow. Keep posting, and I wish the girls the best of luck in the future! I know they'll go far! =)

[etheraltrace]

The power in their voices is just awesome!

[clayfeathers]

WOW! Chills again!

[Sharke2121]

I think the sound system that the Oak Ridge Boys have set up is perfect!! It is not often you get to hear each voice so distinclty. Their new DVD has this type of audio, I think they used 8 mics and 4 cameras to shoot it. Check it out!! :- )

[Adirondaque]

Gosh.

[americangirlmusician]

I love this performance. You can hear each of the girls individual parts, yet they are perfectly blended. Good Job Girls!!!!!!

[dlr71mi]

This is WONDERFUL!!!!! You go girls!!!!!!!!!!

[bullhead003]

The Cactus Cuties LIVE at the Cactus 2009 DVD and CD can be ordered now at thecactuscutiesDOTcom or by calling 806-747-5671. They also will be available on ITunes. It was shot with 4 cameras and 8 audio tracks over 2 performances and is spectacular!

[Ninekitties]

Wow! These Cactus Cuties just get better and better....I can't wait for the next fvie years.

[tripletrules]

They're awesome!

[xlovemeasiamx]

I can't wait until they're just a little older =] Not that they're not amazing & mindblowing right now, but once their voices are fully matured, then i reckon everyones in for a much bigger ride than right now. keep it up (:

[rokarecisu]

Wow, if the individual powerful voices and the beautiful close harmonies and the fantastic descant don't get to you, then the beautiful bellchord at the end will certainly give you the goosebumps. Awesome job, Cuties.

[etheraltrace]

I am always amazed at the pure power you girls put into this performance! Just knocks me off my feet!

[jbryson71]

its amazing to thing how amazing these 4 girls sound (which i thought was 5 actually) never mind how young they are and how long of a career they have ahead of them..... CANT WAIT TO HEAR MORE

[nicole3694]

holy crap. thats amazing. if our choir at school could sing like that our teacher would be VERY pleased. lol.

[etheraltrace]

You think? I believe your teacher would have a cow if you sounded like this. That is years and years of work and training up there on stage. God gave them each a gift, and they have worked to perfect those.

[hopnbob2941]

their voices are a pleasure to listen to...over & over again...I can't get enough! I look forward to many years of the CC.

[bbolin17]

wow, this give me serious goosebumps

[Maritimer2009]

These ladies are wonderful!

[scheufeli]

This is great, Blaire's voice has matured very well. They're going to keep getting better as they get older.

[etheraltrace]

Amen to the serious chills! This one performance is about as perfect as I can imagine it being done! Just blows me away every time I listen. Makes me want to go out and preach! :)

[tuckerbandfan]

i just realized that i hadn't listened to the cuties perform this song in quite some time, so i had to come back to it.... it still gives me serious chills!

i always find myself grinning and shaking my head in disbelief and appreciation... i know that i'm not alone in that, and i hope that the cuties know how much goodness they are spreading!!!!!!

[etheraltrace]

Powerful!!

[JOSHBAKERR]

ahh yeaa! amazing!

[ashleync29]

why does youtube feel the need to constantly stretch and un-stretch the size of the video box?? really, why?

[CCno1fan]

Love this version! Sounds great in the lower key too! As always, AWESOME WORK GIRLS!!!

[dannihartYOUxP]

their voices have truly matured ever since the last time they sang this! great job :D

[firemanemt421]

what a rush it had to be to sing with the oak ridge boys. I am so proud and happy for the cuties. baylee, you still rip my heart out. you girls sing with such conviction. amazing-your maine holic for life gene

[lrover03]

Wow! Super job as always, girls. 5 stars for sure! :))

[diesel828]

As they continue to grow, they're also maturing musically. You can really hear where they're improving. These girls are amazing. I hope they continue to sing together as they get older or at least keep on with music in one form or another.

[weesamin]

geeze, they're really growing up!  they've come a long way from singing at that basketball game.. even though they were really amazing then.

[jonleidner]

Sublime

[jbkrystal1]

i love the cactus cuties

[msgatorgirl75]

you guys are so good at the harmony and this song is so good i had to sing it at a lincolns 200 birthday celebration i love it

[27hurley27]

YOU GUYS ARE THE BEST

[motormouthindustries]

I love this song, my choir sang it in celebration for Lincolns 200th b-day. And these girls did it beautifully. Great job girls!!!!!!

[rokarecisu]

What a beautiful job by each and every one of them. Hey, my wife and I live about 2 hours from Branson. My wife and a friend are going there Tuesday to buy tickets, including the Oak Ridge Boys, for the 2nd week in November, hint hint. But I know the Cuties will be busy in school at that time. Some day, hint hint, we hope to see them in Branson. Maybe the Oaks can close for them again, soon!

[flipsidehit]

Unbelievable! Girl singing the descant, you sing that with such conviction I want to go out and preach! I can't get over this song. Absolute million seller!

[courtney2323]

i have heard the girls do this song. many times from the other video. and i somehow JUST watched this video a few days ago and i have to keep coming back to it and watching it over and over... like everyone has said... they have improved on this song and i didnt even think that was possible... way to go girls. I am so interested how you improve in the future!

[JrMidget0912]

You guys are amazing!! I wish I was as good as you.

[LisaBre09]

great job girls

always amazing!

[E4harry]

BRAVO!

[ashleync29]

over 10,000 views in JUST over 1 month!!! yay! :)

[Sharke2121]

If there is anyway possible, PLEASE have this redition made availble for sale! It is just terrific and should be shared!!!

I listen to this one all the time!

[KRvideos1]

love it, the recording of this song at the school, only comes in mono, so this is much better. thanks for posting grandpa

[VIKING33NY]

Could make a grown man cry...Wow!

Outstanding girls!!

[Sharke2121]

I love how the individual parts are so clear and defined! You don't get that too often. The Oak Ridge Boys have some super tuned sound system!! Love this rendition!

[tuckerbandfan]

me too... you can clearly hear each one of them. i said this on the studio version but i meant it for this version so i'll say it again here - i particularly love baylee during "terrible swift sword," and the background vocals at "let us live to make men free." i also love blaire's solo, i think her voice there sounds very mature.

[0teryn0]

Love these girls but HATE how she says "guhlory" it's really annoying haha

[jdg48439]

Talk about nit-picky. This is the absolute best rendtion of this song I have ever heard. And for the record, it sounds like she holds "glo-" and not "guh" a little longer for the sake of timing and expression in this perfect performance.

[TheRevolutionGirlz]

She doesn't say "guh" she holds "glo"

[ashleync29]

I just keep coming back to listen, though if I had been there I would have given whoever's talking at the beginning a stern talking to!!!

[Wondergirl9696]

you girls are all amazing, i bet you would win if you went on America's got talent, your voices are sooo beautiful, keep singing

[Sharke2121]

Battle Hymn has been one of my favorite songs he cuties do, this is so powerful and direct that is hard to imagine what the future will bring; seriously, you see and hear something that you think is near perfection, then they blow that out of the water! Mercy what problems we have! LOVE the 'new' Battle Hymn, and love you all Cuties and crew!

[noobuiwill]

If you compare this performance with the old version from the school, theres a huge difference in control, power and voice purity.

This performance really shows that the girls are progressing even further, excellent job girls :)

[bullhead003]

it has been a year and a half. doesn't sound like much, but is 15% of madeline's life, lol.

[jdg48439]

lol pop! Imagining another 15%. The sky's the limit with Mad and these girls.

[XxtiphanyxX]

very true..this version's harmony sounds more complete

[sandiek0207]

They are amazing little girls...wonderful voices

[gilgreengil]

Fantastic as usual great girls,  great voices but this is the norm for these awesome girls. Thx for shareing Ty

[prettymaria619]

[ashleync29]

[ashleync29]

I go away for 10 days and there's 5 new videos up!!!!!! (Counting the ones on the Oak Ridge Boys youtube channel) LOVE them all!!!! Enjoy your summer girls! :)

[kcliatt1]

That was SO great girls! I've been gone on a cruise and have been deprived of your gorgous harmonies for 10 days. It was great to come back and find that y'all are only getting better! Congrats on opening for the Oak Ridge Boys, that's exciting!!

[lisatouma]

[MemphisMyLove]

She's my favorite- she's such a doll!

[jasminepostada]

I still get chills when they sing that song! I can't wait for more videos! i just wish that people weren't talking while they were filming them singing, but it didn't make much of a difference.

[wadehallen]

Magnificent ENOUGH SAID!

[jourdansauls]

this is great:).

[Rose0330]

Wish I'd been there! These gals are great!

[QBsezCisLovall]

Really enjoyed the backstage videos, but I always look forward to hearing the whole song. Never get tired of hearing them singing this one, they are just so tremendous at it! Joe Bonsall got it right, THESE GIRLS CAN SING. And the ORBs really did love the time they spent with our Cuties. They are ALWAYS amazing!

[myoumee]

I always get chills when I hear them sing that song. Sounds like an amazing night!!

[jdg48439]

The girls were amazing as always. And so cool to see the Oak Ridge Boys showing so much respect and appreciation. Two class acts right here!!

[CortesZ666]
