All I can say is ... 'Good gosh amighty!!! '

[charlesmayo]

Pat sang that with such meaning like it was personal and Martina let her have her moment

[tcwhite]

WOW You can see it in Martina’s face that she was in awe of Pat...

[MrSpicoli]

I love how Martina just stops singing at the end, shes like, "you got this Pat'.

[charlescox]

I remember when this originally aired, I was floored when Pat took over, Martina just gave up and enjoyed it.

Pat Benatar has the greatest female rock voice ever!

[gametroll]

Ok I need Pat Benetar to release a full cover version of this song. Anyone else agree?

[rcpsammy]

And finally finally FINALLY Pat Benatar is going to be inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame this year!

Martina is a great singer but you could see she was absolutely gushing when Pat blew the roof off with the chorus, and got a standing ovation at the end 😍

[wolfman]

Pat benatar and Niel are rock and roll gods, thank you good night

[freeamericausa]

Does anyone else feel the Goosebumps, and Tingling when Pat starts???? "LET FREEDOM

[JoyfulSaturn-czui]

Martina loved that a woman she idolized in music belted out her song like this.

[angelafoster]

I love how Martina totally fangirls over Pat. Total respect for these women

[lukewalker]

Pat Benatar voice is like a twin turbo big V8, You could see Martina was in awe because Martina normally has the most powerful voice in the room but when Pat opens the throttle, she is amazing.

[AlexCorvidae]

There is something amazing about watching Martina gush watching Pat sing her song.

[loriadams]

I don’t care who you are, when Pat Benetar sings one of your songs, that’s something!!!!

[ralphstevens]

After 2 years I'm still watching this.

[bruceshaw]

Martina had the good sense to just let Pat get on with it, brilliant .

[randomperson]

On one hand: Martina is no joke and has made her bones in a tough business on her own.
On the other hand: it's cool watching her 'fan-girl' for an effin' legendary woman and voice.
