  • 6:02 <3

  • I've watched this 10 times and i still can't get tired of these harmonies! :D

  • 4:32 Seeing Double???

  • @Agpolkadot theyre obviously twin sisters. lol.

  • damn these girls can sing !!!!

  • This is just simply awesome!

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

  • 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!

  • I love love love love a thousand times LOVE this!

  • plp that say they dont like you are just jealous.

  • 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!

  • To the 12 ppl who "disliked" show us your video.

  • Awesome young ladies..I think they will appreciate this even more down the road..They're far too young to understand the importance of our armed forces right now, and the ramifications of not having them..People are dying so we can be free. I hope God blesses these little girls and our troops

  • @jmh30us I think you would be really AMAZED at just how 'in touch' each one of these girls are with what is going on in this world. Thankfully they have been allowed to keep their childhoods, but they are very much aware of, and highly supportive of America's mimlitary and the freedoms they assure for them. Check them out, they have been doing supportive works for the military, wounded vets, orphaned children of vets, and the list goes on-and they wrote a book about the Star Spangled Banner!!

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

  • 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?

  • @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

  • @MaryJ41 I don't know about any of those that were at this particular event, but The Cactus Cuties have had a lot of positive reactions with troops posted all over.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • loving the guy in the background!!

  • this is so amazin

  • 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~~!!~~

  • This Is My Favorite video of the Cactus Cuties!!! OMG!! :) :) :)

  • these songs were too old for these girls...I wish they'd sung more patriotic songs here....up to amazing grace. They sang 60's songs which I don't believe ever fit military send offs. They sing great..just sing age appropriate songs. Sounded like a typical anti military collection to me.

    God Bless our Men serving overseas and at home!

  • @Krun2k Boy, did you EVER miss the point!!!!

  • 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.

  • how old is Baylee now?

  • 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!

  • That was beautiful! I couldn't help but cry, I thought it was a sweet thing to do.

  • owwwe ! the 11 year old got a voice on her !!! <3

  • @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! :- )

  • JUST AMAZINGGG

  • I get goosebumps everytime I watch this! So talented and such a wonderful thing they did!

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

  • That's so funny the guy that said "Go on" I bet he didn't think that four little white girls would have that much soul. =D

    <3

  • 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.

  • Speaking as a US Marine, Gulf War I Vet...

    The very *last* thing on earth I'd want to hear sung to me is 'The Battle Hymn of the Republic" as I'm going into an occupied War Zone, where any day might be my, or the soldiers I serve with, very last day on earth, since most people over their look at us Americans as people that have robbed them of their freedom, being that we've killed over a million of them.

    What were these people thinking?

  • @DigitalComponents And just where did you hear them singing the Battle Hymn of the Republic? Not is this venue!

  • 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!

  • I am touched. Those three words say it all.

  • its so sad some people mised the up arrow and hit the down arrow when these girls are clearly AMAZING

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

  • Praise them for Honoring our Soldiers!!!

  • Who could dislike this video?!?!?!? I mean really, these girls are awesome and an inspiration to so many. They truly are a blessing to America. This was a great thing they did for those soldiers!

  • I think the airlines should have waited, given them there money back, or something. The girls were singing for the troops. That little performance put a smile on the girls and troops faces.

  • I can't think of any greater honor!

  • 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.

  • love this!!!

  • 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.

  • @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. :- )

  • "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.

  • Love it

  • there very good at singing

  • 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...

  • Love the black guy in the back! He's really feeling the music and appreciating the talent.

  • The guy in the back is digging it so much lmao

  • God Bless You Cactus Cuties!

  • Nice job love yalls singing

  • This is AWesome! They are really good! :O)

  • 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!

  • i think they sound so much better without music. music is kinda over whelming.

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

  • You guys are good

  • They are so good!

  • 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

  • go madeleine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • children of america made everyone teary eyed :)

  • at 6.54 listen to them sing grow mainly by madeleine

  • The do 'Jesus, What a Wonderful Child' on the CD/DVD and it is terrific!!

    Oh yeah, thanks again girls for honoring those soldiers!!

  • This stirs my soul every time I see the girls paying such a heart felt honor to those troops!

  • 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

  • this brings a smile to my face

  • Why does it really matter? And first of all they went to sing those songs with the prez and you think the president is going to have their instrumental music on hand?

  • so touching..they are fabulous!!!

  • Sharke2121, didn't you know that they would PROBABLY be carrying their msuic with them? i mean, i know they were singing for the president, but i don't think HE"LL have the music.

    yay Cactus Cuties! you guys rock!!!!

  • 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!

  • and they just 'happened' to have the music along with them to sing to. must have had a lot of carry-ons

  • if you read the descripition, you'll see that the girls were getting back from singing for the president, so obviously they had the music with them.

  • actually if you stop at 2:01 you can see a laptop and a set of speakers right beside it

  • @angelfire205 Good eye there angelfire205! Seen this a thousand times and never noticed the Apple ! Just to interested in watching my favorite little patriots!

  • Yeah, I'm sure ONE CD must have taken up so much room..........

  • This 'tribute' concert is just one of MANY performances they have done for our people in uniform, and the survivors of those that gave it all! That is just who these great American Citizens are! They are true patriots. God Bless you Cuties!

  • To do that fo the Soilders shows how much pride and patriatism these girls have.

  • 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. (:

  • Happy Veteran's Day!

    Keep rocking girls!

  • 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!

  • awesome and i love how you all always have matching outfits! its cool!

  • aww, these girls are awesome as always. :)

  • Comment removed

  • Madeline sings with all of her heart, just like Baylee, Andi and Blaire do. I'm sure they felt just as privileged as the soldiers did on this occasion.

  • 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!

  • wow...they are so great...I adore these girls...amazing voices on such little talents

  • I am honored to be in the military and want to thank the Cactus Cuties for that show they did for the soldiers. God Bless you girls for that mini concert. It is nice to see that you were willing to miss you flight, which kinda suck, and yet still say it was worth it to support our troops. God Bless you and keep doing what you do. Don't listen to people if they knock you down, just find the next door and walk through.

  • 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!

  • I cannot guess what rainbow is seeing; They are checking with the DJ Cami(?), for what's next; NO accoustical set up, would never be the case if there could be. OUR troops obviously are not expecting this;but love it! That said: Thank you girls for giving so much of YOU and taking the soldiers into account AHEAD of your own needs and desires. You're truly a blessing and gift to the US! Keep encouraging all to love as you do! Thank you for them God! We are blessed!

  • The comment by rainbowmuppet is in poor taste. I wonder why the troops in the video were all in prefectly matching outfits. The girls are dressed alike because they are proud to be a part of something bigger than themselves. Girls keep up the great work.

  • they have some nice runs.

  • 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!

  • Yup. Impromptu, all right. You can tell because of their perfectly matching outfits.

    But seriously, these girls are really good!

  • 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!

  • Read the info before making silly comments. They were returning from performing for the president. of course they would be wearing the same outfits that they were sent off in in DC.

    Glad you like their performance.

  • you know nothing!! so dont go makin smart ass comments!

  • @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.

  • 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?

  • Though, what they did was super sweet....if I were one of those soldiers....I wouldn't want to watch that....I would be too nervous about going to Iraq. And plus....the Christian songs are not many people's thing!

  • Yeah...good call....the clapping at the end really showed the amount of appreciation the soldiers had. Oh and don't forget all of the ones standing around who could have simply walked off. But, yeah, good call on that one.

  • blaire & madeline are my favorites. blaire reminds me of dakota fanning and madeline reminds me of kristen stewart :)

  • 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.

  • Plus the girls missed their flight to Lubbock They honored the soldiers who were going to war.God bless their little hearts.They are simply precious!

    5 stars easily!!!!!

  • I cannot think of anything that compares to this in honoring these and all our soldiers. These will have something in their hearts and minds to recall when things get lonely or depressing. A reason to go on maybe.

  • What a wonderful thing they did!

  • I LOVE Children of America!!

    xxxxxxxxxxxx

  • I believe the soldiers enjoyed every last second of the performance, THINK was really appreciated too. I wish we had video of the entire thing!

  • I believe the soldiers enjoyed it when they sang "Think".

  • for me, my favourite is blaire

  • They're cute and energetic but their voices will be shot before they're 15.

  • madelines my favorite

    but theyre all seriously amazing

  • Would Love to have you on my show. If you get to Nashville please let me know. Mike

  • They will steal the hearts of Nashvillites! Hope you put it together!

  • do you have a the whole secound song by them

  • The song is Jesus, What a Wonderful Child... you can find it on most of the lyrics sites, just do a search for lyrics and then the title, ask and ye shall receive! :- )

  • Comment removed

  • 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!!

  • This was added on my birthday!

  • u know, if you're going to say something random like that, (even if it is interesting) please, maybe say something about the actual video. like, for example: CACTUS CUTIES: i love to sing, but i don't have a voice nearly as good as any of you!

  • uh... nevermind, that was a really random comment, anyways, GREAT JOB!!!!!!

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

  • Showed this to some young Royal Marines from a NATO 'Special Boot' training facility a few days ago, they went crazy! Asked if there was a way they could 'Buy' the group!! It was sooo funny, but boy did it make me proud of these wonderful ambassadors and patriots!!!

    Raise the Union Jack girls, you are wanted across the pond!! LOL

  • that guy in the back is LOVING it!!!LOL he's going crazy watching them

  • This is very sad considering how many times I've seen this video, but I JUST realized they're wearing the same Cutie Nation t-shirts available on their website. Lol, I'm such a blonde.

  • don't knock being blond!! :- ) it is everybody else that has problems!!!

  • Hey!LOL , I'm jk , but brunnettes , redheads and blackhairs rule too!I didn't know what to call the people will black hair.

  • uh, try brunette.

  • NO MICROPHONES, and still they are super! I love the way they give of themselves to support our military. This is just one instance! Can't help but love you girls!!

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

  • oh. my. god.

    their vocals are PHENOMENAL!

  • 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. :)

  • :D they're very talented!!! :D

    keep following ur dreams. they are all great vocalists

    they should be in americas got talent

  • It's great that you do that but you should maybe stay away from the religious songs when you sing for soldiers, since many of them are not christians

  • The girls did this on the spur of the moment, they were returning home from a CHRISTMAS PERFORMANCE at the White House. The music available was most likely all Christmas (Christian) oriented on the boom box... besides, have we not gone more than crazy with political correctness? My JEWISH friends happily volunteer to work on Christian holidays so those that want to can celebrate in their faith. No one is being

    inconsiderate here, it is a PUBLIC place for crying out loud! mercy please

  • OMG! Shut up! I'm sure they are just happy to have some nice entertainment regardless of if their religious beliefs. The troops all look like they are enjoying it to me!

  • Their group IS a Christian group and I'm sure they had limited music! It was not a planned concert!!! And it was around Christmas!
