[tommyrocket13]

The Fordy95 = MAJOR DOUCHE BAG!!!

[tommyrocket13]

Hey Fordy, you don't think this is pop music? What is then you fucking douche bag? Music progresses over time you fuckin loser!!

[osamabindrinkin40s]

Martika was sexy with own style! Love the 80's!!!!

[hullygullybully]

Always reminds me of my only trip to America when 5 of us drove from New York to Florida and back. It was always on the radio and the DJ was always called The Fox.

[iraqilaw]

Oooh, this is BAD. Anyone who thinks the 80's or early 90's were a pop music golden age is obviously deluded.

[misschristine3451]

what a voice!!!

[IamMrMoustache]

My birthday song as well, surprised I guess is all I can say? Although I share the same date with Brian May of Queen, so I like to think every Queen song is my birthday song :D

[MaxxDude]

The only reason i looked up this song is because it came out on my birthday. I was very upset I sat through as much of this shit song as I did. If anyone out there actually likes this shit stack of a song please come to my home so I can beat you in the head with an aluminum bat.

[MegaWisecrack]

@MaxxDude seems everything that happened on your birthday was shit..wonder if your coming into this world was the reason..

[purplewowies]

@MaxxDude Out of curiosity... what songs do you like?

[TheMidniteVapour]

F*ck EMINEM, the original is the Best : )

[briskrjeremy]

This song is one of my favorites of all time. I praise Martika for doing it and this song has helped me through alot of things. Congrats to Martika for making this song

[Bloppzor]

Why does Eminem's version have 75 million views and this only has 3½?? What's going on in this world...

[PUBL1CxEN3MYxD]

@Bloppzor because its a good song.. most people dont know eminem sampled this song.

[TheMidniteVapour]

@Bloppzor The youth of Today are MORONS that's what's going on LOL!

[Bloppzor]

[rickenjoey]

I used to hate this song with a passion when it first came out.This and Joey by concrete blonde. I like them now.The message kinda hit home a little hard. 20 years clean and sober later. I love these songs

[JoyNicole1974]

One hit wonder...but I loved this song back in the day.

[32salach]

[TheANDYFRAME]

Only emptiness remains, how very true.

[koolviruskiko]

damn .. im in luv with the chorus

[SexiKardynal1]

I Love This Song :):)

[xxLittleSnugglesxx]

I Love this song, But the wording is sad, it makes me feel sorry for her... But Music did rock going back to the 80's and the 90's.

[preciousgirl1969]

I so understand this pain!!

[bamamamacat]

For anyone who has ever loved an addict.

[bond1007ify]

[75ladonna]

She looks like Wynnona Ryder.

[elmachetero17]

@polloman14 august 4???

[sgag26]

[TheMidniteVapour]

@polloman14 Lucky you....I was 15 was this song was released Ha Ha : )

[mightyjoe911]

So 90's..80's was the best

[MrWilliejay1]

eminem was in the picture then he was still in 8 mile

[CommadorDecker]

number one on my b day.... figures. its beautiful though

[hollisweda]

ahh shit u guys there both great but ................ you can NEVER out do the ORIGINAL!

[martakelly]

OLE , OLE Y OLE!!!

ME ENCANTA ESTA CANCIÓN

[Fanik10]

80 people were not children growing up in the 1980's.

[lliiaamm0099]

@Fanik10 i liked it and i was born in '96

[TwoDeux]

So much better than M&M's bleak version.

[TheFordy95]

80 dislikes are kids who think Martika coped Eminem!

[cbr600rrmicron]

Great SONG!! eminem the white bogan totally missed the point!! raper-crap rubish!! LONG LIVE THE 80s!!

[candy19817]

@cbr600rrmicron ...... you Got that right !!! .... Martika Recoreded it 1st !!!! ..... and it was better than Em's verson !!!!

[mistypup100]

@cbr600rrmicron so right ...this brings back so many memories from when i was 16/17 ...love it

[instantrealitycheck]

@cbr600rrmicron I think he hit it right on the head. He talked about a negative part of his life and how he overcame it just like what Markita did. Just because he did it differently doesn't make it a bad song.

[RaimaOblap]

@cbr600rrmicron fuck you. EMINEM is the greatest artist of the last decade. KNOW IT.

[TheFordy95]

I think Music has gone down hill since the early 2000s!

[jelixxer]

@TheFordy95 I couldnt agree with you more....ive said for a long time now ... 2000 and on has been nothing good. except Adele....

[Scienide72]

@TheFordy95 since the 80's!!

[kosh2501]

@TheFordy95 How very true.

[Song476]

@TheFordy95 I don't disagree, there are few singers and bands that can actually sing something that one can dance to.

[PlanetNinetyTwo]

@TheFordy95 Hey the older folks at that time where saying the same thing when hip hop hit its peak between the 80 and 90s, something new will always come along and turn this nightmare upside down.

[Gasoline85]

@TheFordy95 I agree!

[acerr40]

@TheFordy95 UNDERSTATEMENT...

[hectorbolshevik]

@TheFordy95: I disagree. Music has been down since the 1990s. Martika may have been a one hit wonder, but she's known for this great song. Unlike the so-called "musicians" of the 1990s to the present whose music is complete crap but make their dough from sporting the latest crappy fashion.

[iraqilaw]

@TheFordy95

^ People like this guy amaze me. Does anyone remember what pop music really is or is everyone drunk on nostalgia?

[BaltanSeijin1]

@TheFordy95 Since early 2000s? Try since the mid 1980s.

[80srulz]

Loved this song and loved her acting in Wise Guy as well, as for whats better 80's or now. Love the music, Hate the politics, we are all different and what a boring place the world would be if we all thought the same.

Rock on

[spectroman71]

From Kids Incorporated to this....dang, she was on such a high. Perfect voice. Wish she'd do more today.

[GlennaNorthwind1969]

brings back Lost Boys

[angel3216]

Eminem killed this song.

[cyrylthewolf]

@angel3216 Much as I hate to give ANY rapper any attention... I have to at least respect Eminem for not being 'just another' and keeping a real viewpoint.

That said... I actually disagree with you. But I'd rather simply rephrase what you said to give my viewpoint...

Eminem didn't kill this song. You CAN'T kill a timeless classic like this.

THIS song ENHANCED his. Greatly. It made a lot of sense.

Good collaborative sharing of material here. Martika shows grace in agreeing to assist him here.

[SzzoDDark]

@angel3216 no la mato si fue por el ke konozi este tema zin zaber ke era un kover ..l.

[cristobalmartinn]

toy soldiers / martika

estuvo en Chile , un verano . !

[MeilaniTheCat4life]

Simply beautiful :)

[mattdaddyful]

Classic

[nikkinthenati]

I miss my childhood!!!! thanks for taking me back...i'm 32 now and wish i could be little again. Being big SUCKS!!! :)

[hadders81]

@nikkinthenati i agree!!! 

[franksanchez007]

eminem version sucks

[mattdaddyful]

@franksanchez007 Thank You

[reeceeooo]

@franksanchez007 I've never listen to it, I can only imagine how awful it must sound

[loyaltyrecceo]

@reeceeooo Well that makes you a moron for saying something sucks, when you've never heard it. Keep imagining how awful it is, while the rest of us actually experience how moving it actually is.

[loyaltyrecceo]

@franksanchez007 Eminem's version is beautiful if you understand that world. A tribute to his slain comrade with an excellent sample from Markita.

[NoobAteDMAIS]

@franksanchez007 you are crazy?

[TheDicer1000]

I LOVE this song. 80 people need to seek therapy... ABW x

[gouvyrock]

fifille!!!!

[fmendelski]

Pra vc @torrespv. Essa musica era #1 na Billboard no dia que vc nasceu.

[th23461asdc]

I love this song and this time! Martika was pretty.

[chevy1967stingray]

4:05  lol

[Mrbrianjohnson951]

This song is great for a one hit wonder.

[Naushop1]

@Mrbrianjohnson951 She's not a One Hit wonder

[Mrbrianjohnson951]

@Naushop1

Yes, she is a one hit wonder. Martika did not perform any song since Toy Soldiers hit the airwave in 1989.

[Naushop1]

@Mrbrianjohnson95.1 Her other hits were: More Than You Know(#18, 1988 before Toy Soldiers), I Feel The Earth Move(#25, 1989) Water(#59, 1990) In 1991 she had a hit single called: Love... thy will be done(#10, 1991)

[jeniowa]

I sincerely hope people didn't know this song before Eminem...

[TigerNicky73]

I remember getting my hair cut like Martika's when I was younger!! I still love this song!!

[bzipyy2212]

good song, but i find it funny how overly dramatic, she acts in this.

STEP BY STEP* does big head movement.*

[rigel5]

Great song. Sung with such emotion and passion it brings a tear to my eye! Can you imagine any of today's shite even coming close to this song? Watch and listen young ones. This is a proper song performed by a talented artist with passion and conviction. Something alien in today's music industry.

[ryan110110110]

@rigel5 Are you seriously implying that there are no talented music artists these days?

I would say that's a pretty big assumption.

[TheFordy95]

@rigel5 I totaly agree :)

[L118AwEsOmE]

I'm just gonna say it... EMINƎM

[sims3loser]

@L118AwEsOmE who?

[emlsox4life]

I still cannot believe Martika follows me on Twitter...not only is she beautiful but she has an awesome voice! :)

[Mascro1977]

she is so so much better than Fergie why didn't Martika continue?

[bigmike7379]

whats interesting is she was on a short run TV show called Kids Incorporated and it had a young girl on it by the name of Stacy Ferguson on it as well and as we all know STacy grew up to be known as FERGIE

[cyrylthewolf]

Great voice...and SO beautiful.

Wish there was even a TENTH of the music nowadays had even a TINY bit of the passion they used to show in the older music from the 80's...

Man... Some days...I JUST CAN'T STAND IT...the fact that I'm stuck living in this day and age of doom, gloom and repetition.

It feels like the 80's were the 10-year long death of the human spirit in America.

*sighs*

[musicvidbuff1]

sad indictment on the music industry when you type toy soldiers into youtube & martika isn't top of the list.....*hangs head*

[mattlaffs]

No offence taken Xtreme3750 lol, although I think that it's 70,000,000 views more, rather than better.

[MrJerkkeri]

@Xtreme3750 Right... and Justin Bieber's -Baby have 686 520 885 views.

[Xtreme3750]

@MrJerkkeri how Justin Bieber's baby is a version of 'Toy Soldiers' I dont know

[MrJerkkeri]

@Xtreme3750 "Eminem's version might be 70 000 000 views better" If the song is more popular does it mean it's better?

[SuperAndygriff]

@MrJerkkeri nooooo !!!!!!

[BrHUs]

beautiful song because without this we would not have the version of eminem

big up from italy

[dasherdedash]

360, we finally meet again

[trickso]

When a sentence is written in all-caps, it loses any credibility it might've had.

[lessardb75]

@trickso that is so true

[mattdaddyful]

@trickso And your point is???

[utubesucksheha]

I LOVE RAP.. ITS MY FAVORITE GENRE... BUT TO SAY THE EMINEM VERSION (HE STOLE) IS BETTER... IS THE MOST INSANE THING I EVER HEARD. PEOPLE NEED TO LEARN ABOUT EXPRESSING EMOTION....... LISTEN TO THE EMOTION IN THIS GIRLS VOICE! EMINEM TRIES ... AND HE MAY COME CLOSE...... BUT HE FAILS ARE DISPLAYING ANY KIND OF EMOTION. THERE'S A LOT OF RAPPERS OUT THERE THAT DO A MUCH MUCH MUCH BETTER JOB.

[LoVeMe999ify]

she's so beautiful



[DieFischkoepfe]

eminem brought me here

[rappigonen]

grate music !

amazing bit <33

[Skywalker74HD]

I love this song! The 80's rule! :)

Timothy

[Dudessioo]

Eminems rap will never replace music like this.

[mksimms11]

@kerriaboo22 Is your birthday 7/18/89? It said the same for my birthday...are we twins? :)

[randomrob1968]

it's like Suzanne Vega meets Aimee Mann. In Prague.

[Greatwhiteoz]

thank you justsayno78 your the only one on here that knows what the song is really about

[Airuxn]

@kerriaboo22 Then you're exactly as old as i am :p

[newspapercrane]

This song makes me physically ill.

[Nonrevenue]

♥ U Marta : ) Go Bruins!!

[MrJupton]

she truly has extreme beauty, & and an inspirational voice! Yeah i would put her name on the 100 greatest divas hall of fame list.

[eieiei88]

Thumbs up if Fergie brought you here.

[04littleman]

@eieiei88 Eminem brought me here

[MissEveTorres]

Great song *80s was the bomb fucking lucky old people

[ricksears98]

love this song to bad the current generation didnt get these bands

[set972]

great track....memoriesss

[263smw]

good song.

[16kashman]

bring back the 80's.................

[bzipyy2212]

lol, i love her strong head movements when she said STEP BY STEP its so dramatic.

dont get me wrong i love this song, total respect

[theQUINNBY]

for eminem to take this song and make it his own, he obviously respected the original.

[WehrmachtLuftwaffe]

@theQUINNBY No, he dosen't. There is no respect when rappers sample other musician's music. They just steal it, blabber cheap street poetry over it, and give the ignorant masses, who haven't bothered to do any musical research, a reason to feel like they have some sort of taste. It's all about making money. He's just an opportunist wigger who has leached onto black culture to make his millions. Which he has. Death to him, and death to capitalism.
