Martina has an incredible voice, but you still only got about 75% of it there. If you want the full 100% of her power, check out A Broken Wing. You’ll thank me later 😉
I like that there are other kids waiting to play with her, but my heart always thinks there are way too many kids there because that means they all were killed by people that should have loved and cared for them.
This song was written for Martina's niece, whose name appears on the 'polished rock.Angela Carter, Concrete Angel Analysis In Martina McBride’s Concrete Angel, we have the story of a young girl who is being abused by her mother. According to McBride, this is a true story based on her niece who was abused by her mother (McBride’s sister) and killed at the young age of 7
Except it wasn't. Martina didn't write the song. It was written by Stephanie Bentley and Rob Crosby and found its way to Martina's manager. Clearly though the video Martina made it about her niece and that is how she connected to it when she sang it, but it wasn't written about Angela Carter specifically.
Martina has always had one of the biggest voices in Country Music, she's amazing and she sounds even better live. She also through her entire career used her platform to bring light to tough subjects like this one, child abuse, domestic violence, etc. She was never afraid to tackle the tough subjects, instead she made it almost the purpose of her career.

@@sueg3650 references with date still tracking info. this song is about child abuse. it is so meaningful and it says a lot for many children in this world. i think that Martina did an amazing job with this song i must say. the little girl (Martina's niece_ must have had a terrible life ... r.i.p Angela, let the angels take care of you. Martina puts so much detailed emotions and actions into this song. i really hope that Angela's mother got what she deserved, and i hope she feels terrible for what she done. hopefully no-body feels any mercy for her cruel and evil moves which she could have stopped by not becoming a drunk just because she got divorced. she couldn't have cared enough for her daughter as much as she did when she was married as she did not hit her when she was married. Angela would be so proud of her aunty and i bet she is looking down on her family. i really wish someone had phoned the police sooner and then maybe Angela could still be with us, she would have been beautiful. did anyone notice she had the word angel in her name also?. she was an absolute angel from the day she was born and no matter what she will be loved and missed and in the song it says "the world forgot", for those people i sure hope they haven't still forgotten what happened to the beautiful Angela Carter in 2005 ... rest in peace the 'concrete angel'
I love when reaction videos are done by people who usually are into the opposite genre of the music especially Hard and Metal Rock fans!! After watching Martina's music video, a shot of bourbon sounds good indeed.
Wait, what? Martina singing Pat Benatar's songs? And vice versa? I'll have to talk this over with Dustin and see if we feel that's in our lane. Because, whether we react to it or not, I think I have to see that. - Keith
This song never fails to make me emotional , child abuse is NEVER okay , and sadly those who are suppose to protect the child are the ones doing them harm , my family was tight knit and my aunts and uncles where amazing growing up , but with time things change and people change, one day I got a call from my cousin and she was sobbing and I can hear my aunt in the background yelling and my other cousin screaming , I told my bf to call 911 and I never felt so helpless, terrified , angry , heart broken in my entire life ( I lived 3 states over otherwise I would have gone there right away) , I heard my aunt beat the living snot out of my little cousin ( he was 6 at the time) I could hear her make contact with his body all while she called him names and he was screaming this scream I will never forget and all I could do was yell thru the phone begging her to stop , begging her to talk to me to tell me what was wrong , telling her over and over to stop , when she was arrested she had the nerve to tell me that I betrayed the family and I should have known she had a mental breakdown and she went on and on trying to defend her actions and I told her the moment she decided to lay hands on that baby is the moment she is the one who betrayed the family , I will never regret what I did , nothing anyone can say will ever justify abusing a child , or an animal or the elderly, I love that Martina sheds light on these topics that tend to get swept under the rug , if you see something always say something
Sad song its a real tear jerker.. the kids at the end of the video were angel children that came to take her home to heaven. This song hits home. awesome reaction guys.
please react to the fun side of Martina " When God fearing women get the blues" It always wants me want to roll down the windows, turn up the radio and sing along.
Martina is known most from songs like "Independence Day", "Broken Wing, & "Concrete Angel" but my personal favorites are "That's Me" & "Cheap Whiskey" from her first album.
I grew up listening to country with my Dad while when my friends were all listening to boy bands. So I have a love for the classic country artists (Cash & Alabama) and 80s/90s country artists (George Straight, Reba, & Garth). Johnny Cash’s cover of Hurt is great. He puts a whole new spin on the song. I believe the original singer of the song ended up loving Cash’s version a lot. Also, Folsom Prison Blues and Ring of Fire are other classics of his.
Martina’s Love’s The Only House is a FANTASTIC (& positive) song for what the world is walking through these days and showcases her amazing voice as well!! In My Daughter’s Eyes, Broken Wing, and Wild Angels all good. Speaking of pipes- Carrie Underwood w Vince Gill live How Great Thou Art… one word: Shook. Loving your reactions! Thanks!!!
This is a true story about Martina's niece who died from child abuse at the hands of Martina's sister. The headstone you see in the video is the real headstone of her niece Angela.
It was not written for her niece. There are no interviews with Martina McBride stating that it was. I remember when this song came out and there was nothing about mentioned at the time. It wasn't in any magazine articles or mentioned on Country Music Television, etc. If she had said this in a single interview it would have made headlines. In an internet search, it's only stated that she said that in two song lyric websites, again if it were true at least dozens of results would pop up when you search for it. People like me are old enough to remember when this came, this would common knowledge among us. You're only the second person to ever think this. If have a link from a well-known site or an actual interview with Martina McBride I would be interested to see it. Regardless this song is powerful, to say the least.
Just found your channel and subscribed. Your viewers are kind of picking on you with all the tearjerkers. Might I suggest a little more traditional country. Try George Strait "Troubadour". (troubadour is a traveling poet) And if you like the rocker side of country try Trace Adkins "Ladies Love County Boys".
Anyway, Love's the Only House, God's Will, and I'm Gonna Love you Through it. GREAT Martina songs..... especially Anyway, very inspirational to me even though I am not religious
I've added Love's the Only house and I'm gonna love you through it to our list, and a request tally next to God's Will for the next time we visit Martina.
Carrie Underwood has a deep song called "Temporary Home." There's a fun group called Home Free that you may wish to check out. They have county roots but sing other genres also. They do a lot of covers but have a number of originals also. If you're familiar with country, you're likely to be familiar with Johnny Cash. They cover his Ring of Fire and also Folsom Prison Blues. They do a great cover of Blake Sheldon's Hillbilly Bone (approved of by Mr. Shelton) and Sold by John Michael Montgomery. Their original "Champaign taste on a Beer Budget" will likely bring a chuckle or two as would their Country-Fried Pop Medley. They also have a loyal and active group of followers called Home Fries who watch for new reactors to discover the group.
Thanks Joanna, we have their cover of "Man of Constant Sorrow on the list", I've added the original you mentioned, and we have Temporary Home on the list. Keep those suggestions coming.
Am I the only one that thinks they're going to need that Bourbon when the song starts? Then again, if they're from the mid-west, there's no way they haven't heard this song before.
I'm from WV, and moved to the midwest, and I'd never heard this song. Prior to starting this channel, I avoided country music like the plague. Just wasn't my scene, wasn't my sound. Turns out, I was missing a lot of good stuff. - Keith
Idk if y'all realized that the little boy (her neighbor friend in the window) ended up being her guardian angel...and he was there with all the other angel children at the end...the kids who all died from abuse.
Actually "Broken Wing" is her best for pure vocals, she brings the power to that one. This one is tough, beautiful but tough. Martina used her platform to raise issues that people didn't want to talk about. Nice you guys!
There is a rumor that has been going around for years about this song that is NOT TRUE. Rumor has it that this song was a true story about Martina's sister (Gina Leikes) beating her daughter to death, AGAIN THAT IS NOT TRUE. This song is the true story about Angela Carter a 7 year old girl that was beaten to death by her Grandmother Nana Stacy. The story was changed from the Grandmother to the Mother for this song. The song was written by Stephanie Bentley and Rob Crosby and was released in Nov, 2002.
I fell for that, but then I couldn't find any credible source to back it up. It goes like wildfire in the reaction comments. I know I even wrote it a couple of times before I checked. I tried to backtrack my own comment and was thoroughly told off. 😳 That makes me feel bad for Martina's poor sister who is innocently standing by saying, "Hey, wait a minute!" Thanks for the background info!
False origin stories for songs are as old as the songs themselves. The whole Phil Collins myth around "In the Air Tonight" was circulating my middle school when I was a kid. And it's still going around.
Martina is amazing and a really nice person as well. I haven't seen a lot of Trisha Yearwood reactions and that needs to be rectified. Walkaway Joe is amazing, She's In Love With The Boy also or Down On My Knees Or oh wait, The Song Remembers when or Every Girl In This Town. None of them will make you want to cry so that'll be a change of pace.
@@BourbonCountryReacts I'd gladly donate a bottle to the cause, but I've been clinging to sobriety by my fingernails for 16 years, and I think the bottle would never reach you!! lol
Having alcohol available during a reaction to this song is probably the smartest thing I have ever seen. A sister song to this is Alyssa Lies by Jason Michael Carroll Please don’t wait to report. If you suspect something, say something. Rather be wrong then them gone.
It really makes you wonder how many times she herself had to rehearse this song without breaking down at all to make it in all essence a perfectly touching video. If there's anyone in the world who's already seen this video & isn't phased by it at all, there's something deadly wrong with your brain enough to get it checked out with a psych evaluation.
Added Just a Dream, and we've got Temporary Home on the list, good number of requests for that one so far. Keep the comments coming, and thanks for watching!
Thank you! First reaction channel I've seen where the host(s) aren't interrupting every minute or so to give you their take. If I ever listened to a song for the first time, I would definitely wait until the end to tell you what I think - and even then it might not be complete. These are great vocals (from someone who stands about 5'3) - but i think her best vocals are on her song "Anyway." Just a personal opinion.
It often is because YT pulls the video if there isn’t a reaction (speaking) part. You can’t play a video all the way through. It does interrupt reaction videos but is necessary for the video to stay up.
Newbie viewer on a binge rn "Oh y'all are gonna need the bourbon for this one" *the moment you both realized the subject* *f*** the teacher* *the moment you both simultaneously took a sip* And we haven't even finished the song yet

You guys might like sone Chris Stapleton "Tennessee Whiskey" Randy Travis "Deeper than the Hollar" and "Three Wooden Crosses", Mary Chapin Carpenter "10,000 miles" Josh Turner "Would you go with Me" and Loretta Lyn's "Delta Dawn". Sorry for the ramblin.
I enjoyed this reaction, you guys both seem like great guys who would protect a child. Try some Brooks and Dunn for wonderful vocals. "Believe," with the official video has a wonderful message, "The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost," by Craig Morgan (written after he lost his teenage son), some upbeat choices ... I saw someone else suggest, "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy," Big & Rich and concur - just fun! I think for lighthearted songs, Brad Paisley ... "I'm Gonna Miss Her," "Waitin' On a Woman." Tim McGraw's catalog is FULL of amazing songs, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood ... whatever you want, country has it. Have you dived down the Chris Stapleton rabbit hole? I need to go look and see. I'm enjoying your channel. :)
@@BourbonCountryReacts I found your Steel Drivers reaction - awesome! Did you know that Chris just released a cover to Metallica's, "Nothing Else Matters," because OMG ... I see you are also Metallica fans and if you haven't heard it yet, it would make an awesome reaction! Very Outlaw Country sound.
If you've not reacted to Johnny Cash you should. He is country royalty. 3 options. Ring of Fire (classic, older) A Boy Named Sue (older but fun!) Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover. Powerful. Especially if you know much about his past) Subscribing in hopes I get to see one of these some day! LOVE the reactions.

Not trying to brag .. just trying to get a point across...lol. I'm also a singer with the exact range and full powered voice as Martina (totally not exaggerating).. so I, of all people, should (& do) have a good grasp on which Martina songs not just sound more difficult than others, but ARE more difficult. For example, a lot of people don't realize that her song Independence Day is a lot harder to sing than A Broken Wing. So.... If you really want to hear Martina hit some notes, even higher than the ones you've already heard, you need to listen to her song Where Would You Be. The "official video" is actually a live performance of her. Listen towards the end where she even goes up and octave and makes it even higher. You will be unequivocally impressed compared to the other songs you've heard by her. She is the reason I decided to sing. Another one that almost no one can copy is How Far. Crazy notes in the chorus.
Our wimminz probably could've gotten one. I got them Martina tix for a Christmas concert a couple of years ago. Front row, center. Feedback from the wimminz was, "you done good." Apparently, Martina likes some audience involvement, and our wimminz are very much the types to get involved. - Keith
This song was actually about Martina McBrides niece who passed away from the hands of her sister the grave stone was actually her niece grave stone she said it was one of her hardest songs to sing The song “Concrete Angel” by Martina McBride came out in 2002, and is was still voted the #1 Saddest Country Song in 2014, according to Rolling Stone. ... McBride's niece was a victim of child abuse, so this song is a dedication to her. Her niece was abused by her mother, McBride's sister, after she divorced her husband.

He puts a whole new spin on the song. I believe the original singer of the song ended up loving Cash’s version a lot. Also, Folsom Prison Blues and Ring of Fire are other classics of his.

I tried to backtrack my own comment and was thoroughly told off. 😳 That makes me feel bad for Martina's poor sister who is innocently standing by saying, "Hey, wait a minute!" Thanks for the background info!
False origin stories for songs are as old as the songs themselves. The whole Phil Collins myth around "In the Air Tonight" was circulating my middle school when I was a kid. And it's still going around.
There's one show you should listen to is Charice/Hitman All by myself
I suffered an head injury in 2001, and almost died. Her voice reminds me of how the angles that I heard sounded.
Martina is amazing and a really nice person as well.
I haven't seen a lot of Trisha Yearwood reactions and that needs to be rectified. Walkaway Joe is amazing, She's In Love With The Boy also or Down On My Knees Or oh wait, The Song Remembers when or Every Girl In This Town.
None of them will make you want to cry so that'll be a change of pace.
The Song Remembers When is a great one.
Don't forget I Don't Paint Myself Into Corners (Anymore)
Independence Day is the one!!!
Backing up the suggestion for Broken Wing. Pure power, and try timing how long she holds the last note.
We track the number of requests for a given song. We'll add one.
@@BourbonCountryReacts I'd gladly donate a bottle to the cause, but I've been clinging to sobriety by my fingernails for 16 years, and I think the bottle would never reach you!! lol
Martina Mcbride how far. The vocals are killer!

Having alcohol available during a reaction to this song is probably the smartest thing I have ever seen.
A sister song to this is Alyssa Lies
by Jason Michael Carroll
Please don’t wait to report. If you suspect something, say something. Rather be wrong then them gone.
It really makes you wonder how many times she herself had to rehearse this song without breaking down at all to make it in all essence a perfectly touching video. If there's anyone in the world who's already seen this video & isn't phased by it at all, there's something deadly wrong with your brain enough to get it checked out with a psych evaluation.
I love Wild Turkey. ❤ I used to drink that a long time ago.
Neither of us are big fans of Wild Turkey. - Keith
except Russel Reserve -Dustin
You love Martina's vocals and don't mind heavy emotional songs. Just a Dream and Temporary Home, by Carrie Underwood.
Added Just a Dream, and we've got Temporary Home on the list, good number of requests for that one so far. Keep the comments coming, and thanks for watching!
@@BourbonCountryReacts Of course, you guys are entertaining and react to some great and meaningful songs.
Another really good one of hers is Wild Angels
Meier is from Grand Rapids MI
Martina McBride song Wild Angels
Faith Hill "Cry" "Stronger" or "When the lights go down" she has that soulful country voice
We'll add those to our list.
You need to listen to her live. She sounds amazing.
We've had a lot of folks tell us that. I suspect that when we come back to Miranda, we'll catch something live.
She has an a capella version of Oh Holy Night that will blow your mind
That one is on our list, might have to get around to it during Christmas time -Dustin
Martina McBride "Whatever You Say"
THE LITTLE BOY WAS HER ANGEL
Thank you! First reaction channel I've seen where the host(s) aren't interrupting every minute or so to give you their take. If I ever listened to a song for the first time, I would definitely wait until the end to tell you what I think - and even then it might not be complete. These are great vocals (from someone who stands about 5'3) - but i think her best vocals are on her song "Anyway." Just a personal opinion.
We always appreciate the feedback, anyway is on the list and I've added another vote to it. -Dustin
It often is because YT pulls the video if there isn’t a reaction (speaking) part. You can’t play a video all the way through. It does interrupt reaction videos but is necessary for the video to stay up.
Around Christmas Martina does an a capella version of O Holy Night that is like an angel .
I put that one on the list -Dustin
Newbie viewer on a binge rn
"Oh y'all are gonna need the bourbon for this one"
*the moment you both realized the subject*
*f*** the teacher*
*the moment you both simultaneously took a sip*
And we haven't even finished the song yet
yeah Keith... Broken Wing REALLY shows off her pipes... check it out
It's on our list. We'll add another vote for it.
He was an angel
You need to do a live version of one of her songs to really see her power.
We've had several folks tell us that. We have a note to do something live when we return to her.
Have you done Just a Dream from Carrie Underwood? If not you should. Love her voice too.
Have you heard her sing. “I’m gonna love you through it”. Or “Anyway”? I think you’d like those songs.
Added votes for those -D
Y'all should check out the Martina McBride and Pat Benatar crossroads.
Martina is an absolute powerhouse! Check out Broken Wing! That’ll get ya with her voice!😁😁😁
czcams.com/video/31ohKNNuyrw/video.html
I saw that after I commented, so I went back to watch it and noticed I already liked it!😂😂. But the studio version I think is better than that particular LIVE version…..thanks! You guys are really fun to watch! And you even got me drinking Bourbon!🤣🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
@@shellymarquez9320 We're a bad influence that way. - Keith
You guys might like sone Chris Stapleton "Tennessee Whiskey" Randy Travis "Deeper than the Hollar" and "Three Wooden Crosses", Mary Chapin Carpenter "10,000 miles"
Josh Turner "Would you go with Me" and Loretta Lyn's "Delta Dawn".
Sorry for the ramblin.
Stay Tuned for the Tennessee Whisky suggestions. Thanks for the other suggestions, I've added them to the list.
Now try Independence day and Broken wing...Even more power house vocals and more tear jerkers
They're on our list. We'll add your votes.
We reacted tp Independence Day too, let us know what you think:
czcams.com/video/o9K05oVqMHU/video.html
I enjoyed this reaction, you guys both seem like great guys who would protect a child. Try some Brooks and Dunn for wonderful vocals. "Believe," with the official video has a wonderful message, "The Father, My Son and the Holy Ghost," by Craig Morgan (written after he lost his teenage son), some upbeat choices ... I saw someone else suggest, "Save a Horse, Ride a Cowboy," Big & Rich and concur - just fun! I think for lighthearted songs, Brad Paisley ... "I'm Gonna Miss Her," "Waitin' On a Woman." Tim McGraw's catalog is FULL of amazing songs, Faith Hill, Trisha Yearwood ... whatever you want, country has it.
Have you dived down the Chris Stapleton rabbit hole? I need to go look and see. I'm enjoying your channel. :)
Yep, we've done a few Stapleton reactions with more to come. We'll add the rest of those to our list.
@@BourbonCountryReacts I found your Steel Drivers reaction - awesome! Did you know that Chris just released a cover to Metallica's, "Nothing Else Matters," because OMG ... I see you are also Metallica fans and if you haven't heard it yet, it would make an awesome reaction! Very Outlaw Country sound.
Martina is the truth. Cancer Awareness in: I’m Gonna Love Ya Through It.
We'll add that to our list.
If you've not reacted to Johnny Cash you should. He is country royalty. 3 options.
Ring of Fire (classic, older)
A Boy Named Sue (older but fun!)
Hurt (Nine Inch Nails cover. Powerful. Especially if you know much about his past)
Subscribing in hopes I get to see one of these some day! LOVE the reactions.
We could react to those, but they wouldn't be first time reactions. We've heard all of them.
@@BourbonCountryReacts I'm actually super pleased to hear that. No reaction necessary in that case. Look forward to more though!
Also check out her song called "Gods Will". Not sure if ya have already? I havent come across it yet
We haven't. But we'll add it to our list.
As a mother this is heartbreaking 😭
Martina sure has the power to hit you in the feels, no? - Keith

Garth Brooks discovered her selling programs at his concert..
Country seems to be hard on you guys. Try A lighter Shade of Pale, live in Denmark.
This song is based on real events. The name and date on the head stone at cemetery was her niece
Wow. That's really sad.
Check out DJ Bridwell band
Not trying to brag .. just trying to get a point across...lol. I'm also a singer with the exact range and full powered voice as Martina (totally not exaggerating).. so I, of all people, should (& do) have a good grasp on which Martina songs not just sound more difficult than others, but ARE more difficult. For example, a lot of people don't realize that her song Independence Day is a lot harder to sing than A Broken Wing. So.... If you really want to hear Martina hit some notes, even higher than the ones you've already heard, you need to listen to her song Where Would You Be. The "official video" is actually a live performance of her. Listen towards the end where she even goes up and octave and makes it even higher. You will be unequivocally impressed compared to the other songs you've heard by her. She is the reason I decided to sing. Another one that almost no one can copy is How Far. Crazy notes in the chorus.
I've added another vote for that one and noted it really shows off her pipes, thanks for the intel. -Dustin
Song suggestion is Toby Keith Red Solo Cup for a fun song. Also, Allison Krause When You Say Nothing At All for a beautiful voice
We'll add those to our list. Is the AK tune country or bluegrass?
We have Red Solo cup on the list, and I've added Allison's song, keep the suggestions coming.
Hello World by Lady Antebellum
This is a true story and if not mistaken I think about her niece. Somebody correct me if I’m wrong
The headstone is Martina's Niece who was beaten by a parent.
I have her autograph
Our wimminz probably could've gotten one. I got them Martina tix for a Christmas concert a couple of years ago. Front row, center. Feedback from the wimminz was, "you done good." Apparently, Martina likes some audience involvement, and our wimminz are very much the types to get involved. - Keith
Check out a broken with by Martina mcbride
This song was actually about Martina McBrides niece who passed away from the hands of her sister the grave stone was actually her niece grave stone she said it was one of her hardest songs to sing
The song “Concrete Angel” by Martina McBride came out in 2002, and is was still voted the #1 Saddest Country Song in 2014, according to Rolling Stone. ... McBride's niece was a victim of child abuse, so this song is a dedication to her. Her niece was abused by her mother, McBride's sister, after she divorced her husband. May you please react to Martina McBride God's will
We've been told that story several times, but there might be some info that says it's an urban legend. We'll add God's will to our list.
God's Will is also one of her best.
If you want to hear Martina's voice - Broken Wing
This one's on our list. We'll add another vote.
