 Beautiful voice, schmalzy songs Jan 03, 2009
Martina Mcbride has an absolutely beatuful voice--as she shows on "Over the Rainbow." Unfortunately, however, the majority of the songs that she chose for "Martina" are way too shmalzy for my taste. I much prefer some of her earlier releases like "The Way That I Am."
 Little here to please an old-fashioned country fan Dec 08, 2008
I liked the single okay -- a glossy but propulsive gal-power anthem called "This One's For The Girls" -- but with the exception of a tune or two, the rest of this album is really just a bit much. Her soul-styled glissandos are a real turnoff, particularly on tracks like "How Far" and "When You Love Me," and almost every song on here is horribly overwritten, and horribly over-obvious. All these songs about Everywoman and Everywoman's interior monologues and self-helpy struggle for self-affirmation... Geez, louise... Doesn't anyone in Nashville still believe in just writing catchy, twangy little songs that the folks at home can can sing along to and enjoy? That's the stuff I like, and the stuff that's kept me interested in Country for over thirty years... not all this high-concept glitziness and the big, loud pop arrangements.
This is one of McBride's most "pop" albums, and her newer fans will probably love it... This is pretty much along the same lines as her other recent work. But there's little here to please an old-fashioned country fan like me. (Axton)
 Martina McBride Sep 15, 2008
Love this CD. Especially Martina's song: "In my daughter's Eyes". Bought as a gift for my daughter who recently gave birth to her first daughter. Thanks!!!!!!
Great CD, Great Person Feb 11, 2008
Martina Mcbride maybe has the best voice of her generation, so versatile and so powerful. But only the powerful is not enough, Martina also shows great talent as a songwriter. In her songs, Martina always concerns love and problem in our life, like Concrete Angel in her greatest hit, like many in this album, especially, In My Daughter's Eyes.
Martina is really a good person and especially a good mother, unlike Britney Spears or Paris Hilton, Martina should always be a great role model to say when talking with our future generations.
BEST MCBRIDE! Jan 18, 2008
In my humble opinion, this is the BEST single album by Martina McBride. I have a preference for songs that are positive, upbeat, and inspirational and of all of her recordings, I think this one fits the bill. There are some real highpoints on this recording including her "live" rendition of "Over the Rainbow." THIS LADY CAN SING!
