Liquid-eyed Martina McBride finds herself in a holding pattern after 1997's Evolution, unable to break completely free of country radio's indistinguishably bombastic mandates but also perceptibly champing at the bit to disobey them. The arena-ready country-rock ditties lead her to overreach badly (did it really take three writers to invent the hackneyed "I Love You"?), and the trite power ballads just push her bluster buttons, but when McBride's got good material, she's capable of making music that's quite nearly memorable. "Anything's Better Than Feelin' the Blues" (by Matraca Berg and Randy Scruggs) could be an exciting country single, and the two final tunes, Patty Griffin's "Good Bye" and Gretchen Peters's "This Uncivil War," clearly advance McBride's pop-ballad tendencies with some believable lyrical introspection. Such moments, however, are only brief respites from the overbearing Nashville formula. --Roy Kasten

 I Don't Understand The Bad Ratings... February 8, 2000
26 out of 26 found this review helpful
I was almost afraid to buy this CD after reading all the low ratings it received here on Amazon.com. But I went against my fears and bought it anyway, and I'm really glad I did. This is a good CD, and I don't understand why people reviewed it so badly. True, it isn't quite as good as Evolution and Wild Angels, which I also own, but I don't see where Martina has really changed all that much. Those of you who said this album isn't country must not have been listening to country radio lately. The style of music Martina sings on "Emotion" is what's popular in country music right now. We need to realize that country music is changing. It's moving away from the traditional sound. Martina is just going with the flow. Good songs on "Emotion" are I Love You, Make Me Believe, Love's The Only House, Anything and Everything, and This Uncivil War. The rest of the songs on the CD were acceptable, also, but they didn't quite stand out like the others. If you like the style of country music that's popular right now, you'll love this CD. You may also like Chely Wright "Single White Female" and Faith Hill "Breathe". Check these albums out, and buy Martina McBride "Emotion" today! You'll love it!

i was flipping channels the other night when i came to a beautiful woman with beautiful blue eyes singing like i haven't heard anyone else sing before in my life. i naturally stopped to watch her whole performance and it turns out to be martina mcbride on the acm awards. i'm not much of a country music listener but after i heard this tiny lady with the big voice i ran out the very next morning on my way to work to buy this cd. i must say that i am very impressed. besides having a voice beyond description, it's so powerfuls and soulful, she rocks. the song loves the only house is such a powerful song and it's my time rocks big time. i'd heard i love you before but there's no way to tell the vocal ability of this lady by that song and the song there you are is simply awe inspiring. i've gotta say that i am now hooked on martina and would recommend this cd to anyone who appreciates an amazing voice and good songs. i love it!
All I can say is WOW! March 1, 2000

People will degrade this cd because its not typical country. So what? "Emotion" contains super catchy tunes. Yes, it sounds like pop, but it don't matter,all the songs are great! Tunes like "I Love You", "Loves The Only House", "Its My Time", and "Do What You Do" are very uplifting wheras songs like "This Uncivil War" and "I Ain't Going Nowhere" are very soulful. This cd has a great mixture of songs. Each song is musically inspiring. I highly recommend this fantastic cd!
Martina does it again with "Emotion"!!! October 16, 2004

Martina McBride's "Emotion" album contains many pop country elements, but is still nonetheless a great album. Here's how I rate each song. (out of a 5 star scale)
1) Do What You Do- good song, but takes a little to get used to.
(4 stars)
2) Anything's Better than Feeling the Blues- good songs, good lyrics. (4 stars)
3) I Love You- great song, Martina's most successful song on the country charts, spending 5 weeks in the top spot. (5 stars)
4) Make Me Believe- great song about whether one's love is true or not.... i love the lyric "but it's hard to start a fire without a spark (5 stars)
5) Love's the Only House- this song will draw a strong connection to your heart. The song is spectacular and speaks the truth... love is TRULY the only house big enough for all the world's pain. The video to this song is very touching as well. Go Martina! (5 stars)
6) There You Are- a perfect wedding song... She hold the "are" note for at least 12+ seconds near the end. (5 stars) If you hear this song LIVE, she holds the note 15 seconds!!!! (so LIVE this song will be 6 stars/5 stars!!!!)
7) It's My Time- the first song that I ever heard Martina perform live in the AMA awards... she rocked the house down with this song... She also holds a 10 second note at this song. Love that range of hers. (5 stars)
8) I Ain't Goin' Nowhere- I like this song and its message about being there for a significant other. (5 stars)
9) Anything and Everything- the lyrics and Martina's gentle vocal performance on this song are perfection. (5 stars)
10)From the Ashes- another standout song on this album. She holds some high notes in this one too. (5 stars)
11) Goodbye- a solid performance, I llike how Martina goes lower and softer in some parts of the song. (4 stars)
12) This Uncivil War- the best song on the album!!!! AMAZING!!!! Written by Gretchen Peters, the writer of Martina's career hit "Indepedence Day." A very emotional song, which defines the title of the album. The ending is a real treat as well. (6 stars!)
This album is definitely worth purchasing!!! It helps complete my collection of Martina's albums!
 McBride's Vocals Are In League Of Their Own July 25, 2001
Shelley Wilson (Orlando, Fla)
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
Martina McBride's amazing vocals take center stage in her fifth album, "Emotion." The album boasted four charted singles (all with different messages). Many say this album shows a level of inconsistency unusual for the seasoned veteran, but McBride has a unique and strong story-telling talent -- appreciated mostly by women. "I Love You" is a wonderfully written love song that highlights the bubbly, sparkling new feelings one feels when they have fallen for someone. "It's My Time" has a great message of blossoming into being your own person and realizing it right now (hence the title). Other highlights are the other two released singles, the plight of those less fortunate in "Love's The Only House," and the romantic "There You Are" that introduces a soothing piano introduction. Different beats coincide in "I Ain't Goin Anywhere" and "Goodbye." Crisp country sound in varied beats showcase McBride as a true vocal talent -- making it worth the purchase of the CD.
