    Lang's best performance of the song... or anybody else's, for that matter.

    Her voice is astounding. Almost not quite believable. Notice at the end, as she finishes the long, last note she seems to slowly come out of a trance. It must be intoxicating to possess such a gift.

    Greatest voice of our era.

    The good thing about her is that she sings loud but doesn't sound screamy or like she's yelling, it's raw power and nothing else. I love her voice so much.

    No matter how many times I hear her sing this, it always brings me to tears. She is simply the most incredible singer I have ever heard in my 60 years. And singing one of the best songs ever written. . . . what a powerful combination. There are no words to describe it.

    I had the pleasure of see K D in concert last year and may I say when she sang this song the audience was captivated. I have always been awed by her beautiful voice , she is truly in a league of her own......What a gift to all of us !!!!!!!

    Unfortunately I heard this version of Hallelujah today at a funeral, I immediately fell in love with your rendition of this truly amazing song. Well done K.d Lang you have instantly won me as fan, what a truly amazing performance. I will go out and buy the album asap. Thanks

  • @MacPro8CoreMan

    Never been a KD fan mostly due to her lifestyle... But now, at 47 years old I've grown tired of being judgemuntal of such frivolous things.
    This is by far the best version of this song ever sung. I watched it 5 times in a row!
    You're witnessing one of the best voices in music.
    KD... If I ever meet you, I'll bow and appoligize for any mean thing I ever said about you.

    So beautiful, I have been a KD Lang fan since back in the 70's when she sang on one of Edmonton's local TV shows...before she was became a STAR. She had this amazing voice, and she was wearing these hippie looking clothes, and she never stopped moving as she paraded around the stage. I could hear and see greatness in this gals performance. She was interviewed, and she named the place she had bought her fabulous wardrobe...I won't mention where that was, so funny!!. Unique!

    When someone says there is no advantage to growing older, i will direct them to this video. Her voice has matured and her interpretation of all of her songs just keeps getting better. Sinatra first, K.D. second.... and she still has time to go!

    K.D. Lang brings out one of the many layers of this song. She gives the impression that who ever the song is about, how sad they are. People like Rufus Wainright bring out the lonliness of the song, and people like Bon Jovi bring out the sexuality of it. Each version brings a new emotion. And thats why i like this song so much.

    EAR-GASMIC....WOW ...OMG... this is the BEST version of this song... WOW! She is Canadian, she is Buddhist, She is Vegetarian, She is an animal activist, she is Gay and I LOVE her voice... effortless perfection.. true artistic creation.. she owns this song and pours it out of her heart into the core of your being -

    • @lorihere7946
      @lorihere7946 5 років тому +5

      So well said, Renata...I see you know her amazing personality, too. Now 8 years later and she got an award for singing this song at the Canadian Olympics, which I'm sure you know. Also, before Leonard Cohen died he complemented her personally and even cried himself when she sang it when he was in the audience.
      She magnificant!

    K.D. Lang was born to sing this song. You feel the broken Hallelujah and it spills through your sole until you are drenched in its warmth and by its depth of its despair. Bless Leonard Cohen and k.D. Lang for this song.

  • @Mysticalgirl2
    @Mysticalgirl2 12 років тому +2

    just found this yesterday. I listened for hours to different videos of her doing it. Reminds me of Merv Griffin's show early 70's-Liza Minelli was on and he asked her to sing Somewhere Over the Ranbow. She politely smiled and sd, "It's already been sung." FYI Judy Garland was her mother. KD version of Hallelujah is one you'll remember for a lifetime, like Kate Smith's God Bless America & Judy Garland's Over the Rainbow. Hallelujah has been SUNG, no one will ever top it and shouldn't try.

    I have to disagree with the comment about the pacing of the song causing boredom. The whole feeling of the song is deeply spiritual, and listening to the lyrics brings renewed wonder to my heart. Lang's treatment of the lyrics, her phrasing, and incredible vocal talent serve Leonard Cohen's creative brilliance well.

    Think Leonard Cohen admitted that k.d. "owns" this song prior to his passing. When she sang it at the Juno Awards, the standing ovation lasted for many minutes. She sings from her heart and soul and you feel it. A special kind of inner and outer beauty. Have tickets to see her at Broward Center For The Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale, early September 2018. It has been on my bucket list for a long, long time.
