I don't think Maddy was being disrespectful. She simply doesn't know this extraordinary singer. I just don't think she realized that KD Lang is a woman.
She would do her the honour of just looking at her background a bit and not just talking out of ignorance . It's only good practice isn't it .@@johnclement4158
There isn't ANY disrespect intended. If you're truthfully reviewing an artist you've never heard of.....that's openly gay .....a d dresses like a man, I would probably think the same thing. Stop being disrespectful and cut Maddy some slack!!!
KD Lang is one of the VERY BEST VOCALISTS OF ALL TIME. It gives me chills from head to toe. I’ve Always loved her version of this song better than any, EVER! Thank you for posting the video. I just wish you could have heard me asking you to please stop saying “he”. KD is a female. She is Katherine Dawn Lane. Her voice is spectacularly BEAUTIFUL.❤️
K.D. Lang has such a powerful female voice. Roy Orbison wrote, recorded and released "Crying" and many more songs in his Hall of Fame career. K.D. Lang, Bonnie Raitt and Jennifer Warrens sang back for Roy in the "A Black & White Night" (1988) tribute concert for Roy. (ua-cam.com/video/5jjhWpYs1Rs/v-deo.html). Probably my favorite collection of musicians for a single concert. enjoy 🙂
K.D. Lang is my favorite FEMALE singer (and Freddie Mercury is my favorite male singer)... K.D. had originally done this song as a duet with Roy Orbison, the originator of the song. (Within the music field, Roy has been nicknamed "The Voice" by his musical peers because his singing voice is just THAT gorgeous.) At the end of the performance here, there's a point where K.D. looks upward, acknowledging Roy up in Heaven.
Nice I like the way you put FEMALE in the comment. This generation really are the dumbest I have ever encountered. They would rather be famous than correct.
Don’t sweat it, I thought the same thing when I first saw her. She has an incredible voice and this tribute was very heart felt. You should listen to Roy’s original version as well.
@@louisejohnson6057just read quote from K.D. saying she's been mistaken for a male every day of her life. She obviously knows her hair and clothing can help cause this misidentification but is fine with it since that's the look she feels comfortable with. Obviously though, no misidentifying one of the greatest voices of this era.
Roy Orbison released Crying in 1961. Roy passed away in December 1988 aged 52. Roy's first hit was Ooby Dooby in 1955, and his final hit You Got It was released one month after his death in January 1989. 22 of his songs placed in the US Billboard Top 40, 6 peaked in the top 5 including 2 No.1 hits.
I have to say I am pretty shocked that this woman doesn't even seem to know who K.D. Lang is as she is so famous and also she doesn't seem to know that Roy Orbison wrote and sang the song so many years ago... I was fortunate enough to stand right in front of Roy Orbison while he sang that song. It was at the Alberni Athletics Gym in Port Alberni on Vancouver Island... Let's see, it must have been somewhere around 1962 as I was still in High School at the time. There was no raised stage as it was a Gymnasium, so the crowd was on the same level as the Band and Roy. I was right in front maybe four feet away from him... It was magic! Roy was already pretty famous, but after that he really rose to fame...
This has been at the top of my playlist for a couple of decades. KD is great. This is the first reaction to this song that I have seen. I hope others catch on.
KD Lang is not a man, maybe you should do the tiniest bit of research before you talk about her. The best is not only Hallelujah at the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games Opening Ceremony at the BC Place Stadium but her best show (many peoples opinion) is a tribute to Lenard and the very best is her "K.D. Lang's Juno Awards in Winnipeg in 2005 Performance on Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah".. it brings most to tears she is certainly a once in a lifetime singer and I have had the pleasure to see her live, I tell you to hear her on UA-cam is Nothing like the real thing.. she is and has always been out and proud, she was many time pushed aside due to her being gay at a time that it was hard to make it if you were not a sex symbol, she does all Canadians proud. Not to be rude but at a time where your generation is so careful about genders, I would think you would know Her pro-nouns. 😍 KD Land in this performance shows all of who she is, it is absolutely AMAZING, I was luck enough to see her when she started out, living in the same province as she was from she is an Albertan treasure. 🥰 ua-cam.com/video/P_NpxTWbovE/v-deo.htmlsi=CW18pPnlJjkoQB9M
She has one of the most beautiful voices ever, I mean, ever. Her version of Cohen's Hallelujah at the opening ceremony of the Vancouver Winter Olympics (she's Canadian) will blow you away. I can never get enough of her, what I presume is her biggest hit, Constant Craving. I could go on and on. Edit: Wrote the above before I got to your comment on "country twang." Her record label started her out as a country singer. Seeing her now, as herself, makes those early songs, with her in frilly country clothes, a bit cringe.
ua-cam.com/video/tcOQSk_cMO0/v-deo.html KD at the Olympics Or ua-cam.com/video/OckbWIr-NQk/v-deo.html KD's appearance on the Tonight show. Her one of many. Johnny loved her so much he asked her to play on his farewell show.
Constant Craving is K D Lang's biggest hit, she is butch but I thought the voice would give it away. Very few men could sound like that, although many wish they could:)
Roy not only made this song famous, he had a number of other classic songs like "Pretty Woman". He was also a member of the supergroup "The Traveling Wilburys" with members like Tom Petty (of "...and the Heartbreakers"), Jeff Lynn (from Electric Light Orchestra), Bob Dylan, and George Harrison (from The Beatles). BTW, all of those groups are a rabbit hole worth going down. Orbison, sadly, was only in the Wilburys for about six months before his passing. The group tributed the song called "The End of The Line" to him. Orbison sang on the track but wasn't around to be in the video. A rocking chair holding his guitar and a framed photo is shown when he sings. Mr. Orbison passed on December 6, 1988.
@@MaddyReactions Their duet is the greatest cover ever with the blending of 2 divine voices - both in the conversation for the greatest male and female voices in the history of all the combined genres under the "pop" label. It is a cover, though Roy is covering himself with the greatest assistance he could find in the Milky Way Galaxy in K.D. The song itself is IMO the greatest pop song ever. I have tried to sing it myself within my much narrower range, but can't get through even the first refrain without getting choked up -- I suppose I've had too many lost loves and loved ones through a long life and am haunted by the greatest songs of lost love and the regrets that go with it.
Great song performed with a great voice, the original was by an artist, (Roy Orbison), who also had amazing vocals, listen to the original and also Pretty Woman by Roy, defo worth your time.
Surprised you didn't do some research on this. K D is a woman. She loved Patsy Cline and she has that cry in her voice, which you are hearing as country. By the way, no one interrupts K D when she sings.
Actually KD was the first female country artist to "come out". And almost lost her career for it. But because her talent was so awesome, and being Canadian, it overshadowed the pettiness of judgement of her sexuality. So let me get this straight....No one with great talent is supposed to be gay or whatever, as long as people get to decide what talent is, but then force the rest of us to listen to what "they" think is talent, which consists of lip syncing to to sexual explicit lyrics, but that is acceptable as long as it pleases the masses that feel they have the right to take away someone else's right to a livelihood,, You know the ones...that show up to church every Sunday, no matter how they are cheating on their wives, or how the women are alcoholics because of it, but these are the people judging others....the hypocrisy completely amazes me.
Actually Maddie. KD. IS more of a Female, than you or me, and soooo many other women. She has her own style of dress, very comfy and modest. Unlike the wannabe singers. That don't even look dressed, KD. has the Voice, Charisma, Presentation, She could sing in a plastic bag wrap. Will NOT change her Voice. She is pure Genius, also such a beautiful Human, Being. Has been standing up for gay rights, and Animal welfare. Also our Planet. She is Wonderful. Makes me proud to be a woman. Luv KD. 🇮🇪💚🍀
How do you not know this song or who K.D. Lang is? 30 years ago nobody knew who she was. She sent a tape to Roy and said, I know you don’t let people do your songs because they can’t do them justice. I hope after you hear me doing Crying, you will give me your permission to do it. Roy called her and said, I want to record it with you! Then he called the The JohnnyCarson show and said he wanted to come on and of course they said, YES SIR! I watched that night as Roy introduced the world to K.D. Lang. They sang the duet and career took off sky high and the next month EVERYONE knew who she was.
Not knowing anything about this singer, seeing this singer with a suit and tie, short hair and a deep rich voice, I can see where Maddy made an honest mistake. She seems like a real nice person so let's cut her a little slack.
🎼🔥🎼🔥🎼 ... excuse me if I laugh a little at your generation ... just hard to believe that you all don't know all the legendary Roy Orbison songs ( .. which I hope you start reacting to ..) and also that you don't know what a giant star K.D. is. She excelled in a world and industry that wanted to shun her because of her looks. She sang duets with the giants of Country and Contemporary Music and is known world wide as one of the best singers ever. I am not upset at you at all for saying "his voice" .. because her look is so unique. What I do like about you is that you are open to all kinds of music. You have an eagerness to listen and learn about great music present and past. Let me just comment on Roy Orbison. He has the most unique voice in all of Rock & Roll history. It is beyond beautiful and many of his great songs have been covered. At the end of his career , he joined other legends in the band The Traveling Willburys.. ( Tom Petty - Bob Dylan - Jeff Lynne - George Harrison- Roy Orbison) .. it would be worth your time to discover their great songs. This was an awesome share .. thanks for allowing me to hear it tonight. K.D. is just so good. 💗💗💗🎼💗💗💗
She is the greatest female vocal talent of the past 40 years..... Karen Carpenter / Linda Rondsadt / k. d . Lang .... My top 3 female vocalists. PS yes she a lesbian and at times looks a bit masculine but much more so as she took on Roy's black hair and suit look)
@@MaddyReactions She used to call her music style Torch and Twang....She would have been massively more popular if not lesbian from Canada who started in county music .. Roy was a big fan when she was barely known and does this song with her as a duet which allowing her to be excepted in Nashville . Her version of Leonards Cohen's Hallelujah at the 2010 winter olympics is one of the greatest live performances ever and after hearing it Leonard said it was the definitive rendition. ua-cam.com/video/tcOQSk_cMO0/v-deo.html Her most popular pop song is Constant Craving and if you want to see her girly girly alter ego. check out Shadowland ua-cam.com/video/dY-_m6vUTUY/v-deo.html
K.D. at one time was a country and western singer and was far and away the best singer with all the hits and they turned her down for a single nomination due to being a lesbian....
kd broke into C&W with that voice like a bright shining star but it turned out her non-traditional gender identity was not a great fit for that scene so she went her own way. Still one of the best voices ever.
@@MaddyReactions Yeah, when she broke in she looked like the farmer's daughter with the pigtails, cutoff jeans, cowboy boots and the whole deal. Once she changed her look it was all over for the HeeHaw fans. I recall one trio with Loretta Lynn and Dolly Parton and her looking like a man, it was too funny.
She identifies as female, there’s no gender identity issue. When she came out is when the industry and public threw backlash. She’s an amazing singer and individual, it’s sad to see how many people turned on her. Numerous radio stations blocked her and made her life hell.
She is so good of a singer. It was Roy's song she sang. Wow so good. Just also like to say you should check out the group " Mike & The Mechanics " song " The Living years " It's a little tear jerker...but i think you'll like it
girl evidently you don't research your people you react to.... you kept referencing he or him... k. d. lang is a female artist...she is a beautiful person and singer....
Her voice is incredible, always has been since I discovered her music in the "torch and twang days" in the late '80s. I saw her twice in concert and just feel gifted to have those memories. It was interesting that you identified her as "he".
KD is female, sang this to Roy Orbison who sang this song with her. He has passed away. He also composed and sang Pretty Women. He was one of the the Traveling Wilbur's.
Do people not do a quick google before reactions? then you'd know a bit about kd...and that this is a very famous song by Roy Orbison...this performance is a tribute to Roy after his pa Ssing.
I do not, that’s more along the lines of a review / video essay. This video is a first reaction, not a review / video essay. Thank you for your feedback!
I wish it would save your comments for the end and listen to the entire song instead of stopping it otherwise, I think you’re very seem to be very nice person. I’m just giving my opinion for whatever it’s worth.
k.d. Is a girl not a guy, Canadian treasure. Roy Orbison heard her sing and asked her to do a duet with him of his hit Crying. After his death she was asked to sing Crying as a tribute. You should hear her Hallelujah sung at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Roy Orbison sang this song effortlessly with far better tonal qualities. I know I'll get some dislike Comments for this but I watched Maddy do both vids & the Reaction comparison between the two is stark to say the least.
Apparently these days pronouns are important, and I believe that KD Lang always preferred the "she" pronoun over the "he” as that was she was always referred by since birth.
❤Love KD Lang! The fact that Maddie didn’t give it the respect it deserves nor did she do her homework to find that SHE, KD Lang, was singing this amazing tribute is why I disliked Maddie’s reaction video. Shame on you!
All of I could think of watching this reaction was "Who's gonna tell her". On several fronts. Seriously. A tiny bit of research would do wonders before reacting.
kd Lang is a female singer, not a male. I suggest do more research on an artist. It’s obvious that Ms. Lang has a female voice. I, as a singer, can tell KD Lang is a female vocalist. Please be more sensitive in making gender judgement before posting your reaction videos. 🤦♀️
I nearly wrecked the car laughing so hard every time she kept saying he.
That was too funny!! God Bless these young kids, they don't know. 😂🤣
Me too
Me too!
Greetings from Canada. Me three. Peace, love and bellbottoms.
SHE!!! She's a legend!!! A little respect goes a long way in these reactions
I don't think Maddy was being disrespectful. She simply doesn't know this extraordinary singer. I just don't think she realized that KD Lang is a woman.

That’s horrible if so

girl evidently you don't research your people you react to.... you kept referencing he or him... k. d. lang is a female artist...she is a beautiful person and singer....
She is magnificent! Please check out HER rendition of H allelujah! You will be astounded!
I wonder..... Has Maddy learned now that KD is an amazing Femalesinger from Canada?
She is a torch and twang singer
Her voice is incredible, always has been since I discovered her music in the "torch and twang days" in the late '80s. I saw her twice in concert and just feel gifted to have those memories. It was interesting that you identified her as "he".
She is awesome
Lollollol. He's a she. Lol. I feel ya, and know what you mean ...... She loved Orbinson as I did.
This was Great, just as good, if not better than the original, which is hard to do with Roy Orbison's voice. You should hear Roy singing Crying on SNL
Wow 😮
Born on a Hutterite colony in Alberta, Canada.
SHE, not he, is unbelievable! Do your homework !!!!!!!!!
so funny you thought KD is a guy. :) Canadian singer of immeasureable talent
KD is female, sang this to Roy Orbison who sang this song with her. He has passed away. He also composed and sang Pretty Women. He was one of the the Traveling Wilbur's.
Perhaps you could research the artist prior to your reaction in order to avoid using the wrong pronoun.
Do people not do a quick google before reactions? then you'd know a bit about kd...and that this is a very famous song by Roy Orbison...this performance is a tribute to Roy after his pa
Ssing.
I do not, that’s more along the lines of a review / video essay. This video is a first reaction, not a review / video essay.
Thank you for your feedback!
Maybe research a bit before doing these reactions . KD Lang is a woman
I wish someone would pay you to hear Roy Orbison.
Get it right she is one of the best that ever opened her mouth i would listen to her sing chinese math chills
by the 11th time I heard "he" I had to leave. Not all females look the same, jeez.
I wish it would save your comments for the end and listen to the entire song instead of stopping it otherwise, I think you’re very seem to be very nice person. I’m just giving my opinion for whatever it’s worth.
try and find the duet she and Roy did
Do a little research on the singer before making such a tacky error. KD Lang is female!!!. Listen to her singing Hallelujah at the Olympics.
k.d. Is a girl not a guy, Canadian treasure. Roy Orbison heard her sing and asked her to do a duet with him of his hit Crying. After his death she was asked to sing Crying as a tribute. You should hear her Hallelujah sung at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver.
Try the song from the Olympics that she did. She.....
SHE! Katherine Dawn Lang (as, no doubt, many have told you!)
Please review a young KD on Johnny Carson singing 3 Cigarettes.
I think you know by now that he is a she. Nonetheless a tremendous voice. Thank you.
That's a woman not Roy This Katie
If you enjoyed this. You should check her performance at the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver
Roy Orbison sang this song effortlessly with far better tonal qualities.
I know I'll get some dislike Comments for this but I watched Maddy do both vids & the Reaction comparison between the two is stark to say the least.
We can always make mistakes I am sure she now realises. At least she was captivated😂
She had a special mutual love and respect with Roy Orbison. The emotion in this performance is priceless.
Apparently these days pronouns are important, and I believe that KD Lang always preferred the "she" pronoun over the "he” as that was she was always referred by since birth.
Ahh, okay!
Did she ever figure it out?
She
Why does she keep referring to KD as he??? No research???
She would laugh and forgive you for miss gendering her. Yes, SHE would.
She is amazing. I didn’t realize until reading the comments 🙈
She
😞
KD broke our in country music but faded when she was discovered to be gay. The 1980s were still backward times in country.
It's a girl not a he.
I've seen KD many times as my friend was the bass player's sister. Lots of times and she is a cool cat. Under the radar. Thanks for the tunes KD.
Why are always HE.
Ummmm...HE is a SHE!!! So so so SOOOOO talented. No little whisper voice there. Pure power and talent.
❤Love KD Lang! The fact that Maddie didn’t give it the respect it deserves nor did she do her homework to find that SHE, KD Lang, was singing this amazing tribute is why I disliked Maddie’s reaction video. Shame on you!
All of I could think of watching this reaction was "Who's gonna tell her". On several fronts. Seriously. A tiny bit of research would do wonders before reacting.
Daddy maybe, but he??!!?? kd lang is lovely in every way.
kd Lang is a female singer, not a male. I suggest do more research on an artist. It’s obvious that Ms. Lang has a female voice. I, as a singer, can tell KD Lang is a female vocalist. Please be more sensitive in making gender judgement before posting your reaction videos. 🤦♀️
Canadian Country singer her name is Katherine Dawn
I don't think she would classify herself as solely a "country" singer. She covers quite a bit of ground musically.
Ohh okay
