[1997Mrjason]

[cavalierfan1995]

she said peanuts you twit

[cavalierfan1995]

rip mom

[buenosdiers]

Wo's this car salesman from Medina, TX with the thin voice singing there with that hottie?!?!?

[nicholasbhicks]

she says she was puting penis in her coke

[leftfieldmind]

A classic song. Unfortunately no one has ever been able to get the tone and timing quite right other than barbara. One thing for sure, no one ever before her or since her has duplicated get soulful country sound. I absolutely love this legend with all my heart. She has finally got the respect she deserves.

American when American is not cool... this is just not true! Never give up! Our new Indepence from a hyphenated America is the American-American: Diversity without Division Movement! Spread the Word... Freedom is catching....

[TheCyndi5]

imagine singing your favorite childhood country song with the original singer in the crowd! go Martina Barbara looks proud! and George is a bonus!

[thecaylin1000]

my 3 reasons are...

1.) rap has too many curse words

2.)rap has bad influences on kids

3.) kids have attitudes after listening

[thecaylin1000]

this one kid at school said rap waz better and i asked him why and he just said nothing so really he cant say country is bad if he doesnt have 3 good reasons

[IHATEFSU]

I am in Love with Martina Mcbride she is great!!!

[IHATEFSU]

I love me some MARTINA

[sandra002533]

[KamanForever]

1:30 you can see Patrick Duffy in the video with Barbara. Yes it was the best moment of the night.

Country was and will aways be cool. Amen to that!

[jatroup12]

Great song, and a great tribute performance!

But one of my favorite lines got cut from the song..."They called us country bumkins for sticking to our roots, I'm just glad were in a country where we're all free to choose."

[evansco2]

woot....King George. One of my all time favorite songs. George was the perfect choice to sing the guys part. LOVED IT

[Twin2Ruby]

two of my favs. singing one of my all-time favs. songs! my motto!

[smthoman]

Oh Gawd! A great generation / era  REALLY is over.

[djphoenix70]

I love this song and Martina did it great..and then bringing out George Straight!! This was the best performance of the night!!

[MrGeorgestrait97]

@djphoenix70 it's george strait not george straight.

[rodeostarmom]

George..you sexy good ole country boy!!!!!

[palomino32]

[watchitphucker]

GOOD SONG.....

[lifewriter2006]

Martina Made me like this song :) She truly can sing anything she is so beautiful and talented

[COOLBRAD808]

george strait wooooo

[xxcountrygirl23xx]

Go Martina. We love you girl!!

[jwoo03]

I cant get enough of this video i keep watching it over and over. George strait is the best there is. Awesome moment

[evansco2]

OMG, I have always loved this song....now I idolize it. I take it that Barbera had no clue that George would be singing because did you see the look on her face. Also, did you notice that George watched her all the way out to see her reaction to him. George made the song IMO..awesome

[evansco2]

OMG,,,I have always loved this song. Now I idolize it after hearig George sig it. I take it that Barbera had no clue that he would be singing because did you see the look on her fae. I also loved how George watched her all the way out to see her reaction to him. He just made the song in my opinion....awesome

[Popstar2b19]

i love martina, george and Barbara. it would've been so cool if they all did the duet!

[hailey526961]

i lovee Martina's and George's duet! highlight of the night.

[haulin140]

best moment of the night

[Rockfan178]

Johnny Cash(:

[cmariah22]

Thanks for posting. George definitely gives this song a new depth. Awesome!

[councilmanbrad]

Love Barabra Mandrell.. wish she would have sung a song.. Martine hit a grand slam with the song and George Strait slammed it out the ball park -- Straight is in his on league

[Cleo1Marie]

Ty for posting. Two Greats! I love Martina and King George! By the way, George doesnt make it cool, he makes it HOTTTTTT.

[luella812]

What an appropriate song for the times. I bet Darius Rucker and all those other posers felt the heat. "I was country when country wasn't cool" ain't that the truth.

LOVE you Martina, George, Barbara for keepin country music alive. =)

[TexasLia]

kid rock must have been especially embarrassed, big poser that he is

[alexandkelsy]

country was and will always b cool

[KamanForever]

Amen to that! This was the best part of the night. I loved the tribute of pictures and videos of Barbara playing the background. Congrats Barbara you are a legend.

[skipinthe]

george jones did the orginal with barbara mandrell back in the 80's fyi.. :)

[ChipNSC77]

George made that......

[str8fan12]

He sure can belt out a tune. I was literally outta my seat and yelling like it was a concert. This man never ceases to amaze me. He is truly the KING!

[MeDonnaBe]

George's voice just blew me away, when he came strolling on that stage. He is just awesome. The true King of country music. Long live Strait !

[meredithchandler73]

Very nice performance by Martina. She looked beautiful and sounded beautiful (as always). I also really like Reba''s cover of this song on the tribute album to Barbara Mandrell.

[buffycharmedangel102]

I'm not a fan of new country music, I like mostly Cash, George Jones, Willie Nelson, Dolly..etc.. but this was cool...I use to love this song growing up.

[straitace2]

Incredible .. no other way to describe this !!

[DRisLegend200919]

i love her voice

[yomangoman]

Love this sooooooooooo much!

[SouthernBell424]

I went absolutely NUTS when George came out during this song last night!!! How awesome was that!!

[Rockram33]

Martina, I'm country after listening to you, from my heart down to my boots!

[Rockfan178]

Wow! Thank you for posting! I saw part of this last night, and fell in love! You rock! Thanks!
