KD Lang IMO is probably one of the top 3 singers/vocalists alive right now. Too underated to be honest. This woman was born to sing and sing alone. Altough her version from Live By Request is way better.
UA-cam is a mysterious place...! When my disability gets particularly painfilled, I spend days at the laptop bouncing from wonderland to wonderland. That's how I wound up on this channel today. I had heard KD Lang sing some years ago and loved her voice. One of my favorite singers is a beautiful young lady named Loren Allred. She sang Never Enough in the musical movie The Greatest Showman. She's fighting for recognition one day at a time. But if you love the goosebumps that KD gives you, look at Loren's video with David Foster for the PBS TV special. Trust me you'll view it more than once...
You should hear her live. I stood at the front of the stage and every one of us was weeping. She is in a class of her own. A masterclass. So proud as a Canadian that she is a gift to the world.
I have been playing and singing in bands since I was a wee lad in the 60's. I can tell you that K.D. Lang is the best vocalist singing today. Pitch and tonal control are unmatched, she is what I would call a song stylist as one listen's not to hear a song but to hear her interpertation of that song. She can sing any style, could have sung with Sinatra, Luke Kelly, Hank Williams, or even today with David Draimen. She is simply Brilliant !!!
I've always loved this song, both as a duet with Roy Orbison and sung solo by herself. Her voice is VERY torchy, and when she sings it's so clear and strong! I discovered her music in 1992 with Constant Craving, but soon discovered that she started out in Country & Western so I bought her previous albums from the 80's, and even though I wasn't into C&W music, because of her voice and her delivery on those songs, I was hooked no matter what genre she later headed with her future albums. She is one of my favorite true vocalists!!! You should react to "So In Love" and "Barefoot"
And she looks so beautiful here, I always love her hair cascading over her brow (she cuts it herself, and the band). My fav venue for her, you'll love the concert! I am in love with her yesterday, today & tomorrow.
She gives me goosebumps everytime I hear that. Such an amazing voice. She should have been way bigger than she was. I still love her album Ingenue. She deserved to be really really big. Instead Britney Spears was popular. Such a shame.
Great reaction, I am glad you enjoy kd lang's work so much. I hope you will react to more of her work in the future and if so I would like to make a few suggestions. If you want to see a young kd lang with raw energy try a performance of "Johnny get angry". For a more emotionally mature kd lang check out anything from her album "49th parallel". She also did an album "Wonderful world" which is a series of duets with Tony Bennett and they sound great together. On the subject of Tony Bennett you can see him on you tube singing "New York state of mind" with Billy Joel in a performance that is just awesome.
what a great reaction,pure,honest and full of emotion.i have been lucky enough to see her 7 times in concert and it truly is an amazing experience,such a beautiful voice.so glad you liked listening to true talent.
I have loved KD from the first time I heard her and didn't know who she was. Crazy but I heard a country song by her, that they played in the movie "the fly 2" and the main characters were dancing to it. LOL I kept rewinding to listen to it over and over. Her voice is epic.
Just watched this again.. I love your reaction to this.. It is how I feel and have always reacted to kds voice and performances.. The emotion.. The tone.. The clarity.. Truly beautiful.. All stuff I said before but.. I'd live you to react to Love is Everything (the max sessions) or the Valley... From same sessions.. Both Jane Siberry songs.. I think you'd enjoy them. X
Thank you thank you for sharing K.D. and your appreciation. Singers like her strike the heart and never leave. I would love to hear you react to something off her "Drag" album -- I think you'll be blown away especially by "The Air that I Breathe," which is another classic beauty that she renders even more powerful. And if you want to hear more of her hayseed country sound, treat yourself to her "Absolute Torch and Twang" album.
Please please please react to her singing Hallelujah at the wi tee Olympics in Canada.....it will blow you away! Loved your reaction! Love the passion you have when you listen to such a beautiful voice 😁👍😘
Ugh. ..so amazing 💖 you should watch her perform it with Roy Orbison, it's incredible. You should also react to her song Barefoot...I can't even describe it, just trust me 😁
I love your reaction to her. Your expression tells it all. She has the most beautiful voice in all the world past, present and future. Thank you so much for posting. Please read "The Hallelujah Effect" by Babette Babich. (Just goggle it)
Just a beautiful rich smooth voice.. a gift. Just like Karen carpenter. Another wonderfully gifted singer. They just Make your jaw drop with utter awe and disbelief that the human voice can be so beautifully played so effortlessly just like an instrument
This is why Roy Orbison chose her to do a duet together above anyone else. A phenomenal performance one of the best in my 60 plus yrs of music listening Best success on yr channel!
One of her best filmed performances. Check out "Trail of Broken Hearts". Her performance on The Tonight Show is damn fine. The 2010 remastered recording is good too.
All of her tonight show appearances were amazing. Especially 3 cigarettes in an ashtray!! She was Johnny Carson's favorite singer and had her sing on his last show.
Kassi, I have just recently come across your channel and have to say that I appreciate your accurate insight and knowledgeable commentary. Keep up the good work, I look forward to more content.
Sitting down while singing is extremely difficult and not good form, so to speak. Not only does she sing as well sitting as standing.... In many parts of the sobgvshe barely opens her mouth yet still attains that amazing projection and tonal quality. Phenome and genome....
Younger K.D. Lang was a Country Music singer and was very popular in Alberta and she was moving on a stage like no else. Almost as soon as she broke into the American market and won awards, she disappeared. She came back completely transformed with a Hit song (Constant craving) and the rest you are listening to it.
What a delight you are Kasian. Liked and Subscribed! I may be wrong, but the video ended rather quickly and I wondered if this performance had struck a particular chord emotionally? I had the chance one to see her live and there were two or three songs, including this one, that left people so gobsmacked that there was a second or two of complete silence after her last note before the place exploded with applause, some tears and a standing ovation. Indeed one of my favourite and most memorable concerts.
🎼Oh, it's so hard, you nearly can't stand listening to that song. Like me! You were so close to crying. Love your appreciation🎶 KD is the main inspiration for me. I love her since 30 years. She has such a brilliant personality. And she is amazing. Overwhelming. Ever.❤️
I grew up listening to Roy Orbison on the radio. But I have to say that I prefer KD's version better. She had to have blown out a vocal chord or two hitting those high notes! and I have to also say I LOVE your reaction, Kassi! You were just BESIDE yourself listening and watching to this great performance.
Great reaction! I'm subscribed. You might like Eva Cassidy. Her body of work is relatively small but excellent to perfect. It's not actually my favorite song but she utterly transforms Field of Gold by Sting. It's just a story!
K D was a backing singer to Roy Orbison before going solo - see her in 'Black and White Nights' - and you can hear the Orbison influence when she sings. So glad she did because her voice is amazing!
Yes it's very beautiful. ritten and recorded by Roy Orbison. Later, recorded as a duet with K.D. Then, after he died, she recorded it as a solo. In remembrance of Roy. She really does his song justice.
Every one logically focuses on K.D.'s more recent work but fail to delve into her earlier days. Please take a look at the Torch and Twain error which is when I first fell in love with this wonderful songstress.
Probably one of the most underrated vocalists of our time. Amazing tone clarity and control and that slow vibrato is extremely rare.
Agree!!
Yes. As I listened to this video, it hit me how rare of a voice she has, given how low her voice is for a female. The low end is just mesmerizing.
I totally agree!
She never got the recognition she deserved. To my shame and furor she was more famous in Canada as to speculation about her sexuality than her voice.
Madonna once said about kd lang "Elvis is alive....and she is beautiful"
KD Lang IMO is probably one of the top 3 singers/vocalists alive right now. Too underated to be honest. This woman was born to sing and sing alone.
Altough her version from Live By Request is way better.
The absolute ache in her voice as she sings this song - simply amazing.
K.D. Lang has an amazing voice, and doesn't get anywhere near the attention she should from the music industry.
I don't think she wants a celebrity life. Just the life of a successful musician, without the drama. Which she has.
UA-cam is a mysterious place...! When my disability gets particularly painfilled, I spend days at the laptop bouncing from wonderland to wonderland. That's how I wound up on this channel today.

I couldn’t agree more. That is all.
She made Roy cry singing it. She loved loved loved Roy Orbison. She was crushed when he died. They became such very good friends
I've always loved this song, both as a duet with Roy Orbison and sung solo by herself. Her voice is VERY torchy, and when she sings it's so clear and strong! I discovered her music in 1992 with Constant Craving, but soon discovered that she started out in Country & Western so I bought her previous albums from the 80's, and even though I wasn't into C&W music, because of her voice and her delivery on those songs, I was hooked no matter what genre she later headed with her future albums. She is one of my favorite true vocalists!!! You should react to "So In Love" and "Barefoot"
LOVE her version of this song. And she was pretty young here and has never been in better voice. SOOOO EMOTIONAL! She gives me goosebumps.
What a woman. She makes it look so effortless.
There's nobody quite like kd lang.
And she looks so beautiful here, I always love her hair cascading over her brow (she cuts it herself, and the band). My fav venue for her, you'll love the concert! I am in love with her yesterday, today & tomorrow.
I have loved her for many, many years. Her control and the absolute lushness of her voice is sublime.
OMG !!! Just doesn’t get any better than that period ,chills and thrills !
Great reaction! K.D. Lang is truly an underrated vocalist and she has done probably the best cover ever done of this classic song by Roy Orbison.
She gives me goosebumps everytime I hear that. Such an amazing voice. She should have been way bigger than she was. I still love her album Ingenue. She deserved to be really really big. Instead Britney Spears was popular. Such a shame.
they are different generations - k.d. is more for my generation and Spears for my daughters - you can't compare apples & oranges
Also check out her version of Hallelujah. Leonard Cohen, after hearing her sing it, was of the opinion that it was "hers".
Completely agree breathtaking
Your Karen Carpenter comparison is brilliant. I’ve heard KD Lang sing this before but I’ve never picked up on that...until now. 🙂👍
Karen was so great , especially in her lower register. Karen was a crooner and KD is more a belter. Both tremendous singers in their own genre.
She could pull forth the unrelenting sorrow in this magnificent song, like know body else I've ever heard.
2022 after many year's kd lang cannot be beaten I still play her music everyday
I have always loved KD Lang. Her performance and singing is second to none. One of our best Canadian exports.
Great reaction, I am glad you enjoy kd lang's work so much. I hope you will react to more of her work in the future and if so I would like to make a few suggestions.

Saw k.d. in concert in1992 in Miami. Roy Orbison said she had the best pipes in the business,
Thank you Kasian for your emotional reaction, k d is the best singer for me. Most people in the Netherlands they don't lnow her
I shall keep watching.......because of your authentic Heart!
Do a reaction on KD Lang 3 cigarettes in an ashtray you will love it.
Notre fierté Canadienne... Love from Montréal , Canada .
I have loved KD from the first time I heard her and didn't know who she was. Crazy but I heard a country song by her, that they played in the movie "the fly 2" and the main characters were dancing to it. LOL I kept rewinding to listen to it over and over. Her voice is epic.

Ugh. ..so amazing 💖 you should watch her perform it with Roy Orbison, it's incredible. You should also react to her song Barefoot...I can't even describe it, just trust me 😁
Yes! At times, it's hard to tell which one of them is singing, their voices mesh so well.
@@michellecole6325 hmm, I think you know when roy is singing in the duet but I love kd 😉
I love your reaction to her. Your expression tells it all. She has the most beautiful voice in all the world past, present and future. Thank you so much for posting. Please read "The Hallelujah Effect" by Babette Babich. (Just goggle it)
This the most relatable k.d. lang reaction ever...
She's is absolutely amazing
She sings Blue Velvet with Tony Bennett exquisite
She did this at the Roy Orbison tribute and brought the house down. This was more contained, she blew the roof off that night.
Goosebump time.
I love her, her voice is like an angel
I cant listen to this, without crying.
So beautfully sung. Agree with everything you said. Just perfection.
You might enjoy checking out k.d.'s cover of Jane Siberry's "Love is Everything". Again, k.d. packs an emotional wallop behind the song.
And The Valley. From the Max Sessions....
K.D. has one of thee most effortless singing voices, ever, of all time.
Just a beautiful rich smooth voice.. a gift. Just like Karen carpenter. Another wonderfully gifted singer. They just Make your jaw drop with utter awe and disbelief that the human voice can be so beautifully played so effortlessly just like an instrument
I've watched many reactions to kd doing this song. Most realize that the best thing to do is shut up and behold the performance.
DEAR GOD,, that was magically awesome ,, omg love it love it love it… gonna watch it again!!!!
Thank uuuuu👍💙😘zane
Could listen to her for hours
Shes been around for more than 35 years! Just look up her discography! Shes sheer perfection!
This song gives me chills every time. Love your unfiltered reaction and thoughts!
This is why Roy Orbison chose her to do a duet together above anyone else. A phenomenal performance one of the best in my 60 plus yrs of music listening
Best success on yr channel!
You responded just as I do every time I watch this! Goosebumps throughout
Finally someone talks about k.d. she is amazing and this song is all. Thank you!
KD Lang has an incredible voice. I love her version of Skylark.
One of her best filmed performances.
Check out "Trail of Broken Hearts". Her performance on The Tonight Show is damn fine. The 2010 remastered recording is good too.
All of her tonight show appearances were amazing. Especially 3 cigarettes in an ashtray!! She was Johnny Carson's favorite singer and had her sing on his last show.
Great reaction and you’re so right, that is the best version of this song ever done by anyone.
The best female vocalist of this century.
MISS K.D. LANG AN EMOTIONAL POWERHOUSE!
-San Francisco fan girl
she is beautiful perfection.
Kassi, I have just recently come across your channel and have to say that I appreciate your accurate insight and knowledgeable commentary. Keep up the good work, I look forward to more content.
Awesome reaction!
Sitting down while singing is extremely difficult and not good form, so to speak. Not only does she sing as well sitting as standing.... In many parts of the sobgvshe barely opens her mouth yet still attains that amazing projection and tonal quality. Phenome and genome....
Keep singing K.D your voice is heavenly
Wow. This guy was choked up. Amazing
KD sings this tune so great.
Okay hat is why no other female has tried to.
Best female crooner ever!!
k.d. Lang, sang crying out of the park . 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great video, great reaction.
I saw Roy Orbison, Live, twice, and of course he did this song. Watch Roy sing crying with KD Lang.
Your face as you listened to this was a study, a reflection of my face when I first heard this by chance a few months ago, I am hooked now.
anyone who has listened to this video has heard the best female vocalist alive today, and quite possibly the best ever - my humble opinion
OMG !!! Amazing!
i love that you love kd like i do i couldn't be more different to you , but i was with you, she is amazing, the best
Younger K.D. Lang was a Country Music singer and was very popular in Alberta and she was moving on a stage like no else. Almost as soon as she broke into the American market and won awards, she disappeared.

Love your reaction to k.d.! Her incredible voice did justice to Roy’s song (love his version, of course) but she really made you feel the words:).
🎼Oh, it's so hard, you nearly can't stand listening to that song. Like me! You were so close to crying. Love your appreciation🎶
KD is the main inspiration for me. I love her since 30 years. She has such a brilliant personality. And she is amazing. Overwhelming. Ever.❤️
k.d. lang has a new fan !!
Adam Lambert and kd lang - I would LOVE to hear them together :-)
I grew up listening to Roy Orbison on the radio. But I have to say that I prefer KD's version better. She had to have blown out a vocal chord or two hitting those high notes! and I have to also say I LOVE your reaction, Kassi! You were just BESIDE yourself listening and watching to this great performance.
You should do 3 Cigarettes in a ashtray. You won't be disappointed.
Awesome. Voice..love it
Great reaction! I'm subscribed. You might like Eva Cassidy. Her body of work is relatively small but excellent to perfect. It's not actually my favorite song but she utterly transforms Field of Gold by Sting. It's just a story!
She is a Canadian treasure 🇨🇦

The control she has is unbelievable!
Yes KD is fantastic.
Powerful ❤
Roy would be proud ❤🎉
Wonderfull !!
Every one logically focuses on K.D.'s more recent work but fail to delve into her earlier days. Please take a look at the Torch and Twain error which is when I first fell in love with this wonderful songstress.
kd lang fabulous
Fantastic, I hope you have herd the duet with her and Roy the video is out there 😎
Awesome❤️
She’s a diva.
K D Lang is a Canadian treasure!
she was backup for Roy Orbison
