I heard her at an Irish dance pub before she was famous. The usually raucous crowd was spellbound. It like she's speaking from an inner personal space. l never tire of her. Thank you for playing this beautiful classic.
I first saw k.d.lang performing at a Calgary Stampede party when she was this young girl from small town Alberta. We were all in awe over this cowboy booted, poodle skirted young woman with a voice that cut through the rowdy chaos of a Stampede saloon. Everyone there knew she was going to be famous one day!
OH WOW! Are you ever lucky. I remember some of her very early TV performances and she could really be a wild woman and then sing a ballad. Like you, I never tire of her.
I also saw her in a pub, very early on. In Halifax, at the Upper Deck. My friends and I knew that we'd just seen something very special. I'll never forget it.
K. D. Lang graces us with her powerful, soul deep unique ability to intimately touch our hearts and soar with her. We are lifted and transformed by her extraordinary ability to go with her to a place which transcends mortal bonds of any artist I’ve experienced in my life.
Love your breakdown of this amazing performance by k.d. lang. the power of her voice and delivery in this wonderful song by Roy Orbison. Perfection. ❤️💕🇨🇦
K.D. Lang sings all her songs with effortless vocal and emotion in every note. She is the best female singer of all time. She sang with clarity and purity.
The 1st time I saw k.d. live I was sitting about 10 rows from the stage. As soon as this icon sang her 1st note the audience experienced collective whiplash! Lol! Have been in love with this artist for years and years. ✌
I absolutely love Roy Orbison and have to give credit to K D Lang for this terrific performance! I feel like she’s channeling Roy. Great request and reaction.
others have beautiful voices, but WOW, KD can make each song sound like she is totally living and experiencing what she is singing.. One totally unique singer. wonderful.
I saw her once in a small venue. She was very magnetic and she had the audience in the palm of her hand. I think more than anyone I've ever seen she had that rare ability to own a room
I was in the audience for the final dress rehearsal of the Opening Ceremonies. Her rendition of "Hallelujah" was *incredible*, and every single person in attendance was spellbound - it was like the entire stadium held their collective breath the entire time. 🤩
feels like she intentionally wanted/did give more attention to Roy, for a young audience to revel in. To further his fame and give him accolades. A tribute.
k.d. Was asked by Roy Orbison to do a duet with him of his hit “ Crying “. He had heard her voice and was very impressed. They did the duet and it was beautiful. When Roy died she was asked by the organizers of his tribute concert to sing “ Crying “. This is from that concert……she brought the house down!
She sang back up on his Black and White Night video, check it out on here, she's on the right of the screen, bunch of other legend's too, I won't say who and just let you enjoy it.
In 1987 she had her first U.S. hit, “Crying,” a duet with country singer Roy Orbison; the song won the Grammy Award for best country vocal collaboration
Thank you so much, Ken, for another great reaction. It’s significant that you mentioned her singing “behind the beat.” This is something that’s also obvious when she did Hallelujah at the opening of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and I think it’s one of the aspects of her performance that makes it so mesmerizing. Even if you’re not aware that’s what she’s doing, the listener can’t help but be just that little bit anxious about when she’s going to come in and that creates a delicious tension that increases the focus. Just one of the things that she is brilliant at. 👍❤️
kd Lang has that "country" cry in her voice because she started out as a county-western singer in Canada with her own band, "kd lang and the Reclines" (Get it? Re-Clines as in Patsy Cline, who was one of her early idols. You should really watch the UA-cam video of her very first performance in the United States, which was on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in 1987. She wrenched ever.single.last.emotion out of "In Care Of Th Blues". Incredible.
I didn’t know that she started as a country singer in Canada I know she tried to do that here. Of course you know they shunned her because she’s gay my love her. She’s amazing.
@@susanhuffstutler9576 yeah girl I understand! Amazing amazing amazing vocals she has. I got a big crush on her voice about six years ago. Think three of our CDs and they’re all fantastic.
kd Lange is awesome! I could listen to her sing that song over and over again - into infinity! Wow! What a sound she produces! We are blessed to have her on tape! I just love her and her music! Blessings to you, kd, and ti Ken Lavigne who explains what kd is doing (musically). I so enjoy her performances!
Thank you a terrific reaction to this fabulous singer. Love how she looks up and mouths the words "thank you, Roy". First video I saw of k.d. lang was an early performance on The Tonight Show. She sang the Patsy Cline song "Two Cigarettes in An Ashtray". I could not believe how powerful her voice was...don't know how she hit (and held) some notes, as she was sitting through the entire song. Been a fan ever since.
Constant Craving is the first song they played here and I thought her voice was great but I didn't like the subject matter so I ignored her until she started doing Roy's hits and I realized what a brilliant singer she is...I totally love her now. I guess we all grow up eventually.
I get goosebumps every time I see this performance. I can understand why the people there were brought to their feet with her delivery of that song. She is a Canadian icon.
Ken it’s wonderful for you to recognize her as the incredible artist she is. This song has so much heart and Roy will never be replaced his voice was unlike any we have heard and so is Cady’s voice. Always packs a punch and pulls the heart strings when you hear the passion in her voice.
What a set of pipes! She also did this as a duet with Roy Orbison, and if you liked this version, you would love that duet. Two of the greatest voices in popular music, working together like magic. In fact, that duet was probably the reason she was asked to do this tribute. Thanks, KD, for the beauty and love you've brought to the world.
I was and always will be a KD fan; she has so much ebb and flow along with emotions whenever she sings! Been a fan since the 70’s when I first heard country. When you hear her voice, you knew it was KD for sure! Plus, my favorite of hers was Constant Cravings; she don’t need any auto tune with her flair and voice!
I was introduced to k. d. Lang when she was singing more country style music (pop) so that slight yodel was very present. I wore out two copies of her cassette, (😁😁) Shadowland. Absolutely adore her. What a voice. Thanks so much for bringing this great artist and her magnificent voice back to my sometime forgetful, old 72 year old mind. Great reaction as always Ken. Thanks to you also Auntie for the request. Peace and blessings all.
I'm 72 also, and saw her live for the first time right just before Shadowland released - k.d. Land and the Reclines! Remember? Absolutely jaw-dropping, stunning performance. Made me a fan for life.
Yay!!! I've been waiting for you to do another song I love!!! Big Roy Orbison fan, and watched KD Lang sing back up for him on the Black and White Night, this is an utterly sorrowful rendition of his track, she absolutely owns it and takes it to another level.
Hi Ken, KD has always been one of my top 5 favorites. When I listen to her, she seems to have some characteristics that Dimash has like dynamics (loud to soft to loud), emotion/passion, belting, & a pure and clear tone.
KD Lang(Also a Legend on her own accounts) is probably the only person that can truly do "Crying", or anything by Roy, any true justice. Roy is my favorite musical artist of all time. Awesome reaction🤘🏼🤌🏼🔥 RIP Roy Orbison The Man, The Myth, The Legend
@@tomfabozzi5353 I've seen the duet here on UA-cam back awhile ago. It was so good. You can tell just by that performance alone that he loved her rendition of his song. But yes, I think in one of his last interviews he said he really loved KD's covers of his songs.
In 1987 - That year she had her first U.S. hit, “Crying,” a duet with country singer Roy Orbison; the song won the Grammy Award for best country vocal collaboration
There are no notes that give KD Lang trouble. She’s probably one of the best pop singers ever - and her technique rivals some of the most technically trained singers.
I am such a fan of k.d. and have seen her live, but have not listened to her for a while and am so pleased to be reminded just how stunning her voice is...just heart-stopping. I found your detailed analysis so interesting and have been 'hanging on to every word' 🙃 (new subscriber 👍)
One of my favourite performances of her was from more than 30years ago. Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray that she performed on The Late Show with Johnny Carson. Would love if you could react to that one...
Kd performed this song during the 1997's Concerts at Sydney State theater.....And there's a video of this, here on UA-cam !!...She was near to break the glass !! :)
I first saw kd lang in London at the Camden Palace in 1987 or 1988 (I still have a street poster on hardboard I ‘took’ as a souvenir from about a year or two later 😂) I saw almost all her concerts in London till 1994. Her early records were OK but did not translate/project her warmth of personality and fantastic voice. But live … always absolutely beautiful. And I also loved her outfits. The last time I had a chance to see her was in Amsterdam in 2008. Great memories.
I watched Ben Mink perform live when he was with FM, I never guessed these two would've ended up together. The music we got from this pair is so unique and powerful. Thank you both.
Beautiful tribute to Roy Orbison! “Crying” is NOT an easy song to sing! KD Lang has such a great voice! Country music at that time didn’t welcome her the way they should have.
Roy Orbison chose k.d. lang in 1988 to sing Crying with him and recorded it for the movie Hiding Out and included it on his album King Of Hearts and the collaboration won a Grammy. She also San backup vocals with Bonnie Raitt and Jennifer Warnes on his TV special. She knew him pretty well.
I'm pretty sure the rapid pace of "when you stopped" was intended . . . she uses pacing a whole lot to make the story come alive. "When you stopped" . . . we feel her lover stop.
I love her voice and she is so very talented. Here is my wish…..she and Adam Lambert on stage and singing together. I believe the roof would blow off the building.
I remember listening to Roy Orbison and his friends singing in 1988 and than KD Lang started singing with him and we looked at each other and said nothing. She's fantastic
Great performance! I liked your reactions. One of you perfectly appreciated and described the technical stuff and the other you said screw that, it makes me physically feel something. That's where the gift shows itself.
Thanks Ken!! Always enjoy your videos. I was very fortunate to have attended a concert of hers on the 1990 tour. What an unforgettable experience. Her voice is, like you stated, heart-ripping! And live is even more sublime than recorded. Another treat is the film, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues ... if you haven't seen it. k.d sings on the soundtrack. BAREFOOT is probably my most fave song of hers. ua-cam.com/video/I4FkncWeIRs/v-deo.html That plaintive opening of the guitar always rends my soul.
I think this is my own opinion that Karen Carpenter and Katie Lang have that deeper tone in their voices that make them so incredibly beautiful and unique. I have three of Katy’s CDs and they’re all just incredible. Her voice is just velvet.
Oh wow! Love this! However, I personally think her version of Crying on MTV Unplugged is far superior to this, and it was slower, so she had more time to linger on certain notes. And if you watch it, notice that she sings the entire song with her eyes closed. It's a totally different vibe.
I love her music. It doesn’t matter what she sings, just amazing. What I do not like is you interrupting her song. 🎶 Introduce her in the beginning and talk about her music after she is finished. Then you can talk as long as you want.
Ken: thanks so much for your wonderful reaction (comments), it lets us dumb folks (at least me) appreciate this wonderful artist even more. Thank you again.
I heard her at an Irish dance pub before she was famous. The usually raucous crowd was spellbound. It like she's speaking from an inner personal space. l never tire of her. Thank you for playing this beautiful classic.
I first saw k.d.lang performing at a Calgary Stampede party when she was this young girl from small town Alberta. We were all in awe over this cowboy booted, poodle skirted young woman with a voice that cut through the rowdy chaos of a Stampede saloon. Everyone there knew she was going to be famous one day!
OH WOW! Are you ever lucky. I remember some of her very early TV performances and she could really be a wild woman and then sing a ballad. Like you, I never tire of her.

K. D. Lang graces us with her powerful, soul deep unique ability to intimately touch our hearts and soar with her. We are lifted and transformed by her extraordinary ability to go with her to a place which transcends mortal bonds of any artist I’ve experienced in my life.
She's just so timeless
Love your breakdown of this amazing performance by k.d. lang. the power of her voice and delivery in this wonderful song by Roy Orbison. Perfection. ❤️💕🇨🇦
Her rendition of Hallelujah at the Vancouver Olympics opening ceremony, is indescribable it will never be matched.
She’s like massive arena, packed voice, blasting the walls apart then suddenly in a split second whispering in your ear from the other pillow…
yes yes yes
K.D. Lang sings all her songs with effortless vocal and emotion in every note. She is the best female singer of all time. She sang with clarity and purity.
Her voice absolutely takes my breath away!!
The 1st time I saw k.d. live I was sitting about 10 rows from the stage. As soon as this icon sang her 1st note the audience experienced collective whiplash! Lol! Have been in love with this artist for years and years. ✌
She is always pitch perfect. Her voice is so incredible.
Her voice is just unbelievable, her control is incredible and that last note "over you" was completed in one breath!! Simply brilliant ❤
k.d.'s voice gives me goose bumps. Her voice is special.
I absolutely love Roy Orbison and have to give credit to K D Lang for this terrific performance! I feel like she’s channeling Roy. Great request and reaction.
One of the best and most unique voices on the planet, and a very touching 'Thank you, Roy' at the end.
You can tell she cared for Roy. I heard the audience gave her a standing ovation for several minutes. Moved by emotion and talent.
four minutes
K D.Lang Luv You Always 💓 a very special person all of her song are great !!! There's not one I don't like! Great Job K D Lang A Fan Forever Susan
others have beautiful voices, but WOW, KD can make each song sound like she is totally living and experiencing what she is singing.. One totally unique singer. wonderful.
Exquisite!!! Pure Canadian gold. Chimo
I saw her once in a small venue. She was very magnetic and she had the audience in the palm of her hand. I think more than anyone I've ever seen she had that rare ability to own a room
Amazing talent. I remember her doing Hallelujah at the Olympics. Absolutely breath taking, well hearing her do that song gets me everytime.
I was in the audience for the final dress rehearsal of the Opening Ceremonies. Her rendition of "Hallelujah" was *incredible*, and every single person in attendance was spellbound - it was like the entire stadium held their collective breath the entire time. 🤩
She can do whatever she wants to with her voice. One of a kind for sure.
Purity, honesty, beauty.
She makes me cry, such a pure voice…love it..❤️🇦🇺❤️
KD and Roy released a duet of this as a single in 87. Two very special vocalists. RIP Roy Orbison
❤❤
It Won a Grammy

Wasn't c I instantly craving first?
That first " stopped' was on purpose to emphasize the word she did just stopped singing as the band also stopped playing..effective as all heck...
KD has such a beautiful voice, so underrated as a vocalist.
My mom played Ingenue a lot when I was a kid, and I'm glad she did. Kd has a rare gift, for sure.
I am always mesmerized by her voice. ❤❤❤❤❤
it's really a shame that this is the only attention that K D gets anymore!!! she has sooo many originals of her own that deserves attention!!!!!
Anyone else out of breath after Katie sings? Her voice is gorgeous. She was raised in cowboy country in Alberta Canada.
But this will have people searching, hopefully they will find her original music.
Thank you so much, Ken, for another great reaction.

Absolutely fantastic, i listen to this nearly every day. What a voice! ✨️❤️
One of the greatest singers I have ever heard….especially live…more more..
You should hear her rendition oh Hallelujah

She has a fabulous voice!
Wow, I always get chills & listen at least once a week! My Fav!

dun forget chris issac his song wicked game he sounded like roy orbison
He duetted with her. I’ve read that he loved her version
@@zannebrazeau yea, Chris Isaac does have a very good voice very similar to Roy's.

Rebekah del Rio also does an incredible rendition of this song in Spanish.

K d has such an amazingly emotive voice. She sings with her heart. She can sing anything. Her breath control and range, wow. ❤
There are no notes that give KD Lang trouble. She’s probably one of the best pop singers ever - and her technique rivals some of the most technically trained singers.
I've been a fan of K.D. Lang since the movie Dick Tracy when she performed riding the rails.
KD's voice is simply metaphysical!
Its been years since I've heard her sing. Wow! That was simply amazing.
I am such a fan of k.d. and have seen her live, but have not listened to her for a while and am so pleased to be reminded just how stunning her voice is...just heart-stopping. I found your detailed analysis so interesting and have been 'hanging on to every word' 🙃 (new subscriber 👍)
I'm right there!
Was first introduced to k.d. at the Roundup in SF. 40 yrs later, my 2-steppin’ song is still Big Boned Gal. 💃
Liked her when she was country, when she went solo, but I remember seeing this and finally realizing how astounding she was. Spectacular.
One of my favourite performances of her was from more than 30years ago. Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray that she performed on The Late Show with Johnny Carson. Would love if you could react to that one...

Love kd ❤the voice is mesmerizing! You need to do her Halleluia rendition
I would like to thank you for your APPRECIATLON ...she is great
My God she is so special!! I could listen to this all day!❤
Otherworldly Voice. GOOSEBUMPS ❤❤❤
Wish he had mentioned how she uses the microphone too. She really USES it.
Beautiful tribute to Roy Orbison! “Crying” is NOT an easy song to sing! KD Lang has such a great voice! Country music at that time didn’t welcome her the way they should have.
Cowboy yell for sure. KD Lang and the Reclines were great.
I love KD and loved Roy Orbison!
Roy Orbison chose k.d. lang in 1988 to sing Crying with him and recorded it for the movie Hiding Out and included it on his album
King Of Hearts and the collaboration won a Grammy.
She also San backup vocals with Bonnie Raitt and Jennifer Warnes on his TV special.
She knew him pretty well.
Beautiful tribute to Roy❤
Ken I absolutely loved watching and hearing your reaction ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Kd lang, with every song, tells us a story.
I'm pretty sure the rapid pace of "when you stopped" was intended . . . she uses pacing a whole lot to make the story come alive. "When you stopped" . . . we feel her lover stop.
I love her voice and she is so very talented. Here is my wish…..she and Adam Lambert on stage and singing together. I believe the roof would blow off the building.
I remember listening to Roy Orbison and his friends singing in 1988 and than KD Lang started singing with him and we looked at each other and said nothing. She's fantastic
nicely expressed
Her version of Hallelujah is the best.
Which says a lot considering that it's been covered 5000 times
I never really liked this song, but I LOVE kd's version! Her voice is like no other.
Love her voice. I didn’t know this performance was available. Thanks for the review
Great performance! I liked your reactions. One of you perfectly appreciated and described the technical stuff and the other you said screw that, it makes me physically feel something. That's where the gift shows itself.
🇨🇦 There are a lot of female Canadian artists, and most of them are BadAss ! LOL
Thanks Ken!! Always enjoy your videos. I was very fortunate to have attended a concert of hers on the 1990 tour. What an unforgettable experience. Her voice is, like you stated, heart-ripping! And live is even more sublime than recorded.
Another treat is the film, Even Cowgirls Get the Blues ... if you haven't seen it. k.d sings on the soundtrack. BAREFOOT is probably my most fave song of hers.
ua-cam.com/video/I4FkncWeIRs/v-deo.html
That plaintive opening of the guitar always rends my soul.
I think this is my own opinion that Karen Carpenter and Katie Lang have that deeper tone in their voices that make them so incredibly beautiful and unique. I have three of Katy’s CDs and they’re all just incredible. Her voice is just velvet.
Roy would have been so PROUD of her! She is amazing...he thought she was that's why he sang with her...
Oh wow! Love this! However, I personally think her version of Crying on MTV Unplugged is far superior to this, and it was slower, so she had more time to linger on certain notes. And if you watch it, notice that she sings the entire song with her eyes closed. It's a totally different vibe.
I love her music. It doesn’t matter what she sings, just amazing. What I do not like is you interrupting her song. 🎶
Introduce her in the beginning and talk about her music after she is finished. Then you can talk as long as you want.
I have noticed that, since she proclaimed her sexuality, she is much more free on stage and is able to express herself in her music.
the more I hear her the more I like her
Ken: thanks so much for your wonderful reaction (comments), it lets us dumb folks (at least me) appreciate this wonderful artist even more. Thank you again.
k.d. lang will be inducted into the Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame in 2024 by the Canadian Country Music Association
