    This is the wifey typing. I am Canadian and when I hear K.D. Lang singing I dropped everything and watched her sing. I started to cry and everytime I listen to this song I cry. What a beautifrul song from a beautiful person! Thank you K.D.

    This is positively the best rendition I have ever heard of this song. I've heard many other performances of this great song, and none come near the depth or passion that kd lang has in this performance.

    This is the most awesome presntation I have experienced in my 50+ years of listening to music. KD is a National Canadian Treasure as is the author of this song, Leonard Cohen. Truely among the best on earth.

    Aren't we lucky as Canadians to have such TRUE talent representing us in this world? I don't think Canadian talent gets it's proper dues in the international arena, but we, as Canadians, recognize what we have. I'm damned proud of our talent!

    This Lady is a gem...This song is hers in my humble opinion...the expression she sends-out singing this is really a "public display of her feeling a song" so to speak. I'd love to have an opportunity to see her live.

    1I had the privilege of seeing KD Lang perform in person at the dress rehearsal and then on TV during the opening ceremonies. She has an amazingly powerful voice and anyone watching that night could tell that she was as moved by the lyrics and music as her listeners. I love the Leonard Cohen version of this song, but KD owns it. We are so proud of you, KD!

    I don't understand why some people say this song was inappropriate for the Olympics due to what it is about. Who cares ? It was a breathtaking performance and provided inspiration to those who were there and those who watched it on TV.

    One of the most AMAZING singers ever :) My heart ceased when I saw it was KD to sing at the Olympics. And I don't think my heart started again until the song ended.
    I haven't heard her voice since I was younger and of course she, too.
    I hated what Country music did to her. I wish she would come back. Things have changed KD..They can not deny a voice like yours. Wish I could stand next to you and sing..

  • @Muffett53

    I can say the same thing everyone says...beautiful...breathtaking...amazing...etc. One person singing .....no techno stuff...no big show...and look at the crowd. That tells you how fantastic this performance was...k.d.'s presentation and the song....it IS unbelievably fantastic. This sent chills...goosebumps...and then a warmth ALL over.

    This is one of those songs that stirs the soul. Coupled with the styling and strength of KD Langs voice it is hauntingly beautiful. I can not listen to this song in public or even speak about it. Such emotion is generated along with a feeling of spiritual longing. The emotion is similar to those generated by the meaning of the classical piece Pie Jesu. Thank you katherine dawn!

    Watching this live she had me in tears with goose bumps, She brought the house down. I wish the Olympic Committee would give up the video. Maybe we should start an on line petition or something. No one can sing this song like KD and this is her very top performance of it. Simply exhilarating..
