I agree. Her vocals are outstanding but I didn't like the material as much as her previous albums. I felt like there were too many guitars and that it wasn't the right direction.
Don't get me wrong, I still like the album, but I'm hoping her next one will have that clean sound again that sits on the power-ballad side of country.
I was there too!!!!! I love how Martina puts everything she has emotionally into this song!! Especially on the "single and free" part. Simply amazing!!!!
It almost sounds like the song is supposed to change keys slightly at 3:35. Kind of like a wrap up/ending sorta thing. She nailed it though. So Martina! You'll always be my fave.
she is so amazing she never gets the credit she deserves because she sings country I LOVE HER SO MUCH SHE IS SO SMALL WITH THAT GIANT BOOMING VOICE! GO MARITNA
Hands down....this is my favorite Martina song of all time. I heard her do this live for the first time back on January 20th and wow -- I was easily brought to my feet with amazement at the end. In fact, the whole arena was on their feet for over 2 mins after this song. A truly amazing performance! =)
yes one of the best singers EVER..ranks with the best..but do you ever notice how humble she is to the crowds cheers at the end..that makes her the best performer..humble pie that one..love her forever..

A great singer and a fellow Kansas girl, but I have to say that's the first time I've ever heard her go flat. She's still great, though. Maybe she should have jsut brought it down a kay.

When I listen to it again, I think around 3:35 she goes slightly flat. It's slight, but I have a pretty good ear. It's an incredible not to try to reach! She is truly amazing, however. I'm definitely not knocking her. It may have been wise to bring it down a key, though.
Simon Cowell always talks about singers having the IT factor, Martina has exactly what he's talking about, exceptional vocals and mezmerizing stage presence.
gosh, i wish i could sing like her! you have to be blessed with an ablity like martina's! she sang this at the concert and totally rocked it! i love her!
It was! An amazing night, huh? I live on Long Island, so it was a train ride into the city for me, but if I had to travel the same distance you did to see Martina, I definitely would! Martina is definitely worth it!!!
This was an amazing performance, I wish I could've went but I'm still holding out hope she'll come close to where I live Tim McGraw and Faith Hill are coming this year on their Soul2Soul tour which I could not believe when I heard it should be an awesome time!
You should go! I saw them on their Soul2Soul2 tour last year & it was awesome!!! I'm actually really upset b/c they aren't coming back this year & they keep saying that this is probably the last time they'll be able to go on the road together.
Oh i'm going lol as soon as there was rumors of them coming we did some calling and booked tickets and finally got them about 3 weeks ago :D I wish Martina would do the same :)
That is my most favorite song of hers to hear in concert she blows it out of the water, she has the largets vocal range of any singer i know and can hold a note until the end of time, she is truly a gift from God...
That was the BEST live vocal performance of the best ballad ever!!!! I wish I could give it 100 stars. Hail Martina McBride: Queen of Country!!!!!!!!!!!!
Finally got to see her perform this live this past March! Unbelievable, I was in shock and riding a high the whole night!
