Britt, I have a real soft spot in my heart for k.d. lang. A friend of mine went to a new high school in Alberta and she was very afraid because her previous high school had been really difficult. She had epileptic seizures, and for some reason, the teachers at her old high school would clear the classroom if she had a seizure, as though she had the plague. She had no friends. Not one. But she had her first seizure at the new high school, and when she opened her eyes, k.d. lang was holding her hand. And all the kids were there, and the teacher explained that it wasn’t anything to be afraid of. After that, she said kd took her under her wing and for the first time in my friend’s life, she had a group of friends. k.d. was considered very cool. I’ve never forgotten the kindness she showed my friend. And anyone who has heard her sing once can never forget.
What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing it with us. I've always had the feeling that k d is a very kind, gentle and humble soul. Your story confirms it.
Great story. Sort of doesn't surprise me. I say that because, KD's singing just cuts into my soul. Tears stream down my face, while I gasp for air. I'm always amazed at the emotional control she must have to put that into the air and have it hit me like a big wave so hard that I can't control MY emotional response.
Her performance to open the Olympics in 2010 Vancouver Canada was another level. They had asked the songwriter, Leonard Cohen but he designated K D LANG as his choice. A Canadian written and sung by another great Canadian voice.
Her version of "Crying" at the Roy Orbison Tribute concert gave me the chills. k.d.lang - Crying ( Roy Orbison Tribute ) ua-cam.com/video/QgGLC3JLTuY/v-deo.html
Kd sang Happy Birthday to me in a bar she used to play at before the records and fame. We all knew just how beautiful a person KD is, and special voice from Consort Alberta. She is fantastic.
This was at the Juno awards ( Canada’s Grammys ) and Leonard Cohen was in the audience. He had been asked in 2010 to sing it at the Winter Olympics Closing Ceremony in Vancouver. He declined but suggested k.d. sing it. She has a tremendous range and power to her voice. Roy Orbison was so taken with her voice he asked her to record a duet with him of his hit “ Crying “. After Roy’s death she was asked to sing it again at a celebrity Tribute Concert for Roy. She bought the house down!
Apparently Bob Dylan got The Byrds together for the Roy Orbison tribute, personally I'd have paid double for a seat if they, well he, didn't bother going on, in fact I'd have paid double for a ticket JUST for this!
Britt, I'm glad you discovered one of Canada's national treasures in k.d. lang. In 2006, Leonard Cohen was inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame. k.d. lang agreed to pay tribute to the legendary singer-songwriter with a rendition of his beloved song, “Hallelujah.” She had never performed the song for Cohen and “was excruciatingly nervous” knowing he would be in the audience. After the song she received a standing ovation, and as the credits began to roll, she ran down the stage steps towards Leonard to offer him her reverence and appreciation. He rose to meet her and they warmly, respectfully embraced. During her world tour in 2008, lang gave a beautiful performance of the song backed by the BBC Concert Orchestra in a concert filmed at St. Luke’s Church in London. After hearing it Cohen’s partner, singer Anjani Thomas, looked at Cohen and said, “Well, I think we can lay that song to rest now! It’s really been done to its ultimate blissful state of perfection.” He agreed. Lang later sang Leonard Cohen’s “Hallelujah” at the Vancouver 2010 Olympics Opening Ceremony. It was spectacular!
I will never ever in all my life forget her performance at the Winter Olympics. The beauty and power of her performance absolutely overwhelmed me. Maybe the closest to a spiritual moment I have experienced.
If you ask me, her version is the definitive version of this song. No one else will ever do it as well. Her performance of it at the Olympics some years back was absolutely amazing.
@@pamhunter-to4xs When kd performed this for Cohen at his CHF induction he effectively gave her this song. He said that she had "brought it to such a level of sublime perfection" that no-one else need ever sing it again. He turned down the Winter Olympics performance because he had a back injury and 'strongly suggested' kd lang. That performance was AWESOME!!
k.d. Lang is one of Canada's best unkept secrets in the music industry. Her range, her power, and her talent know NO limits. Her rendition of this at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Opening Ceremonies was INSPIRING. Her song was the piece played when the "doves" were released, symbolizing peace. This is the best song for this tradition, and no one could have sung it better at that time than Lady Lang. I love her music, and she makes me proud to be Canadian.
kd lang is an amazing artist and you’ve chosen one of her greatest performances here. But there is so much more. Constant Craving, Roy Orbison’s Crying, The air that I Breathe are equally beautiful in her hands. But also experience some of her earlier songs: Tall in the Saddle, Bopalena and Miss Chatelaine show some of the range of this iconic singer. Thanks for this reaction and I hope you’ll continue to enjoy and react to more from kd.
He should have received the Nobel Literature Prize that Dylan(undeservedly) got instead. Listen to his song “the Future”. So many more. Who remembers BD lyrics?
You Must react to her best song by far imo., Constant Craving . Great video , catchy song and harmonies about the Buddhist circle of life and death . Released in 1992 , and never ever get tired of listening too . One of the most sublime vocals ever recorded in a music studio .
I have been listening to KD sing this song a lot lately, I mean a LOT! Not only is KD's performance exceptional, as is her talent, but the performance of the Manitoba Orchestra is also absolutely wonderful as well. You should check out KD's performance of Roy Orbison's famous song "Crying", at the Roy Orbison Tribute Concert from 1990. ✌️& 🫶 from 🇨🇦!
There were over 42 MILLION people around the world that watched this woman perform that song, LIVE and barefoot, in 2010. I was fortunately one of them. She has done a lot of other shit as well. She is worth a few more reviews from you. Thanks. You are real close to your 300,000 subs. You GO!
Her end credit song for the Bond film "Tomorrow Never Dies" was much better than the song they used for the opening, but Sheryl Crow was a "big name" and k.d was not. Another good one to check out.
I’ve always loved Lang’s take on the song. Literally everyone else sings it from a place of reverence and solace. She dares to sing it from the viewpoint of a defeated and heartbroken cynic. And it’s pure magic.
Hi, Britt. This is my first time commenting, and I have tears as I type. This song was one of my late husband's favorites, this rendition by K.D. in particular. He died a year ago, and we had an instrumental version of this played at his service. In an interview, Leonard Cohen said of all the musicians who had covered his song, K.D.'s interpretation was his favorite, and we can all see why. You brought back so many wonderful memories for me by selecting this. Thank you for giving me joy today. - Carla
Listening to that, it's hard to believe that Katherine Dawn started out as country singer, performing in cowgirl boots and a little Western skirt. But you haven't heard anything until you've heard her perform Crying at the concert for her late friend Roy Orbison at the Universal Theater in Cleveland in 1990. It was the most beautiful, heartfelt performance I've ever heard.
I'm 59. I've heard hundreds of versions of this song. This one is in a category of its own. It's the definitive version for me. Stunningly beautiful and delivered powerfully.
Thank you so much for reacting to this performance, Britt. It's the perfect example of an artist "leaving it all on the stage." Every word, every note is given the time and attention it deserves. k.d.'s voice comes not from her chest voice or head voice, but from deep in her soul. This has always been on my list of Top 3 performances of all time and always will be.
One of the most gorgeous voices ever produced by a human. Just gorgeous every single time, no matter what she sings. Hers is the best version of this song hands down.
Please watch KD singing this at the 2010 ympice opening ceremonies. It's the best rendition I have ever heard. I hope you check out her original music also. A Canadian icon
The song’s author, Leonard Cohen, literally said that NO ONE else should “bother” singing this song now, because he loves how K.D. sings it, SO MUCH. My FAVORITE performance is actually when she sang it at the 2010 Olympics, and there’s a backstory: Apparently, Leonard Cohen had been contacted and asked to perform the song at the Olympics with K.D… He actually REFUSED (as a COMPLIMENT to K.D.) and said no, because - Leonard said - it was HER (K.D.’s) song now.💕
Absolutely true. Cohen had passed the torch to her and how marvellous to write a song and have one of the greatest singers ever perform it better than you ever could. Magic. KD is magic.
An Alberta (Canada) legend. One of the best voices ever..!!! Makes me proud to be a fellow Albertan. If you can, check out some of her early music; ' Absolute Torch and Twang' is fabulous...
I love her subtlety and restraint, her powerful presence, and her ability to grip an audience with a very sparse, minimal performance. She doesn't overdo it or use it as a vehicle to show off her vocal range. I feel like she truly gets this song.
She has such a strong beautiful voice. I have never heard her sing anything that wasn’t perfect. You should try Blue Velvet or any of the duets with the great Tony Bennett.
I’m not a particular fan of hers, but a few years ago we watched her performance at the Winnipeg Folk Festival. Sitting on the grass in the early evening with a huge crowd of people, and no one moved when she sang this. She really knows how to hold an audience.
Britt, she is fantastic. Years back a gal gave me a CD. She outsmarted me, this young lady did. She knew I'd never listen to it. But I put it in when I picked her up for the next date. Some bluff. Not. Ended up listening to it non stop for over a month. Love it and her very unique tones. Brilliant timing and delivery. But, the CD gift that hooked me on KD was a collection of duets with my beloved Tony Bennett. Just brilliant trick and I am glad I fell for it.
K.D. absolutely does this song the best in my opinion and apparently so did Leonard Cohen. I also love the orchestral arrangement for this particular rendition,I think it’s fantastic. K.D. Lang is definitely a National Treasure.🇨🇦🇨🇦❤️
@@joesutherland225 I just figured she saw a chance to both ditch the cowboy punk bit and really hit the big time, and took it. But I wasn't paying attention; she just went off my radar for a bit, and when she came back, she was doing this 'adult contemporary' thing, or whatever you call it.
Yeah things kinda went sideways after moving south but she soon reestablished herself down there . My sister got to know her back in the pre fame days so kinda kept me informed a bit .
I have had the great pleasure to see this amazing lady live several time! K.d. Give ZERO poor performances! She in incredible! Other songs constant craving, crying, miss chateline, the air that I breathe, helpless, trails of a broken heart, and so many others! Love your reactions Britt! Great insight and so adorable! Keep it up!❤
Britt this is 🇨🇦 Juno awards the audience is her peers she is has the best voice I have heard in my 60yrs. Well deserved standing ovation Katharine Dawn.❤
See everything she did on Johnny Carson's The Late Show. She is literally the best female vocalist of the last 50-60 years. I can't think of a single comparable example.
I also loved the song way before I heard KD's version but it was then that I started unexpectedly sobbing. I can listen to it without crying now but what a soul punch! She also performed this at the opening Olympics ceremonies here in Canada 💖 by the way, I find you very perceptive throughout every reaction ❤ May I suggest another incredible performance when she covered Roy Orbison's song "Crying".
When I heard her sing this at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Vancouver I knew no one need ever sing this song again. Thank you Canada for giving us Leonard Cohen, this song and k d lang, singing it.
Imagine the pressure to sing that song with Leonard Cohen sitting in the front row! This was the night he was being honoured (2008?). Leonard Cohen said this was his favourite version of the song.
KD can do amazing things. She doesn’t perform this the same way ,it’s an interpretation. Her singing So In Love or Constant Craving, Miss Chaterlane . She is a true Vocal Artist
I remember her on aCanadian TV talkshow dressed up in a cowgirl outfit and singing country songs, and pretending to be Patsy Cline reincarnated... her version of Crazy was amazing.
🇨🇦❤️ Still go by Cohens house and visit his park and fav cafe each time I visit Montreal. Without fail. Never a big KD fan, but still remember her work boots and skirt she used to sing in. An original for sure. Credit due. 🇨🇦🙏
I was fortunate to see her live in a small venue in Melbourne Australia around 2011. She was absolutely magnificent!! We all just sat enthralled listening to that amazing voice. She was porn for the ears!!
KD Lang has a beautiful voice and can low and high notes. She was a backup singer for Roy Orberson and does one of his song. So Good. I also agrees with you on this song, this version is fantistic. I look forward to your reactions, you enjoy our older music and your appreciated. 🎶🎤👩🦳🫶👍🌟

Her LIVE AF cover of Roy Orbison's Crying at his tribute. EPIC!!
The MTV Unplugged version is even better!
Yessss.... agreed.... 🤩🥰
Yes the MTV unplugged live version is ridiculously wonderful. I could listen to it all day long.
Not to mention the duet of her and Roy singing it together. Magic!!!
All day.. ❤❤

I agree that version is stunning
Totally agree. The best!
i prefer this performance, it feels more intimate and i love the orchestra.
1000%
Thank you for reacting to KD! She has the most amazing voice in the universe. Listen to her sing Crying & Constant Craving. Knock your socks off 👍
yes!
Constant Craving for sure! 😊
Her version of "Crying" at the Roy Orbison Tribute concert gave me the chills.

...except Leonard.🙏🇨🇦
It's my opinion k.d. brought this song back and made it so popular that everyone other singer had to cover it. But none as well as k.d. lang.
@@pamhunter-to4xs

One of Canada’s lost treasures. I wished she would come back. I would see her in a second. ❤
She sang this song for the Olympics in Vancouver at the opening of the games.
KD is incredible. Love her use of dynamics. Just because you CAN blow up every phrase doesn’t mean you SHOULD. Aretha understood that too
Her choices!! She was friends with Cohen…he said that
the song was now hers. She is a singular singer, always
touching the soul
So the world knows why we Canadians like KD so much

My favorite version of her singing this song is at the Logies in Australia. Those last 3 Hallelujah s will bring you to your knees

If you don’t cry when you hear kd’s rendition you have no heart or soul 💜

K.D. Is a Canadian treasure.
she is the best female singer we have! Beyond her tone, it's her interpretation. : )
Pretty sure you mean Lara Fabian lol, but to each their own.
I love KD LANG...her country albums are special too....SHES GIFTED!!!!!!....her live version of CRYING is amazing.....
She has a song called ‘Busy being blue’ that is phenomenal. Strongly recommend.
She has such a strong beautiful voice. I have never heard her sing anything that wasn’t perfect. You should try Blue Velvet or any of the duets with the great Tony Bennett.

This is at the Canadian Juno Awards. A 15-minute standing ovation from her peers
Omg she is one of the GREATEST of all time ..🎉🎉
That’s a great performance, but the one you need to see is her opening the Olympic Games with that song, if this one is great, that one is phenomenal!
K.D. is one of those rare people who can, and does, sing literally ANYTHING. Incredible talent!
Yay… I hope you will do more of her! She’s amazing❤
Been a fan since the cowboy punk days in the bars in bc and alberta 30 plus yrs ago .dive deep in this rabbit hole,you won't be disappointed!
I really wished she'd stuck with the cowboy punk thing longer - but she probably felt it was kind of a trap for her ... oh, well!
@@hilariousname6826 Nashville wasn't and still isn't ready for her .they screwed her at every turn hence the broadening of her persona
@@joesutherland225 I just figured she saw a chance to both ditch the cowboy punk bit and really hit the big time, and took it. But I wasn't paying attention; she just went off my radar for a bit, and when she came back, she was doing this 'adult contemporary' thing, or whatever you call it.
Yeah things kinda went sideways after moving south but she soon reestablished herself down there . My sister got to know her back in the pre fame days so kinda kept me informed a bit .

Other songs constant craving, crying, miss chateline, the air that I breathe, helpless, trails of a broken heart, and so many others! Love your reactions Britt! Great insight and so adorable! Keep it up!❤
If u want ine of kd langs country songs “lock stock and tear drops”
Always enjoyed her music,her strength as a Out L in ole country is AMAZING.She took
Hits.
She was one of the last performers on Johnny Carson, it was a REMARKABLE performance
Yeah, Johnny loved her
kd Lang sang this song beautifully ❤
Britt this is 🇨🇦 Juno awards the audience is her peers she is has the best voice I have heard in my 60yrs. Well deserved standing ovation Katharine Dawn.❤
See everything she did on Johnny Carson's The Late Show. She is literally the best female vocalist of the last 50-60 years. I can't think of a single comparable example.
I love your reaction....you have a pure HEART!
Constant Craving live MTV unplugged. Amazing.
Shadowland her 1987 album. Chef's kiss! I still listen to it today. Owen Bradley, who did Patsy Cline's arrangements, did the K.D.'s as well.
Look up her recording of the song Lock Stock and Teardrops. It’s as country as can be but oh my goodness !!!!
I really enjoyed watching you experience KD she is our pride and joy. Check out her singing Crying & Constant Craving. Just to name a few.
I also loved the song way before I heard KD's version but it was then that I started unexpectedly sobbing. I can listen to it without crying now but what a soul punch! She also performed this at the opening Olympics ceremonies here in Canada 💖 by the way, I find you very perceptive throughout every reaction ❤
May I suggest another incredible performance when she covered Roy Orbison's song "Crying".
When I heard her sing this at the opening ceremonies of the Olympics in Vancouver I knew no one need ever sing this song again. Thank you Canada for giving us Leonard Cohen, this song and k d lang, singing it.
KD is an amazing singer - totally recommend Constant Craving and her duet of Crying with Roy Orbison ♥️
Such a stunning vocalist.
She is our darling, Canada's and the world.
❤❤ go down that KD rabbit hole so many awesome performances
Loved your reaction!!! I would suggest that you listen to her and Roy Orbinson sing Crying.
They are magic together!
I've been a fan of hers since she started in country many moons ago. Just an insanely powerful singer.
KD.. class.. professional.. ❤❤
Top tier singing.👍👍
KD Lang is a legend❤
Imagine the pressure to sing that song with Leonard Cohen sitting in the front row! This was the night he was being honoured (2008?). Leonard Cohen said this was his favourite version of the song.
Leonard Cohen asked ppl to stop recording this song as he believed kd's version was the quintessential one.
Love KD! What a voice!
I love the cry she startes the hallelujah with
KDLang is magical ❤
Love her voice and your comments. I have seen her in person a few times and she is fantastic, and Canadian 🇨🇦🇨🇦
One of the greatest voices ever
KD can do amazing things. She doesn’t perform this the same way ,it’s an interpretation. Her singing So In Love or Constant Craving, Miss Chaterlane . She is a true Vocal Artist
Great song. I can listen to this song with almost anyone singing. This song really reaches for heaven and takes you almost to the gates.
she was a big bone girl from southern Alberta....that's the way i remember KD introduce herself to the world back in the day!
I remember her on aCanadian TV talkshow dressed up in a cowgirl outfit and singing country songs, and pretending to be Patsy Cline reincarnated... her version of Crazy was amazing.
🇨🇦❤️ Still go by Cohens house and visit his park and fav cafe each time I visit Montreal. Without fail. Never a big KD fan, but still remember her work boots and skirt she used to sing in. An original for sure. Credit due. 🇨🇦🙏
We played this at my Moms funeral service, as she requested.
❤️
I was fortunate to see her live in a small venue in Melbourne Australia around 2011. She was absolutely magnificent!! We all just sat enthralled listening to that amazing voice. She was porn for the ears!!
Everything K.D Lang sings is an amazing take
Her range is amazing and she makes it look casual
She's has an amazing voice. You should check out her live performance (MTV unplugged) of constant craving.
KD Lang has a beautiful voice and can low and high notes. She was a backup singer for Roy Orberson and does one of his song. So Good. I also agrees with you on this song, this version is fantistic. I look forward to your reactions, you enjoy our older music and your appreciated. 🎶🎤👩🦳🫶👍🌟
