Leonard was so right, no one sings this better than KD. She makes it even more hauntingly beautiful, her voice so rich, so velvety, no gimmicks, just so soulful, silky and strong, soft and deep, so much power, KD sends this straight to the heart
I completely agree! every time she sang this, it was heart stopping. She never got the accolades she really deserved. What a beautiful, beautiful voice, and what talent to use it. Definitely one of the greats, imho.
We Canadians are so very proud and appreciative of K.D. Lang, we couldn’t have a better and more modest representative of our country than K.D. Her talent is so unique, and genuine. We love you K.D. Your gentle personality is so endearing.
Yes, she has a natural raw beauty with amazing facial bone structure- her voice is straight from Heaven accompanied by the angels. You are amazing Katherine.
Oh trust me, as a Canadian we absolutely love KD Lang. The incredible artists that she’s performed with, incredible music she’s written, her stunning voice and unique presence… There’s no one like her and there will never be another like her!
Trust me🙃I am Polish living in Poland and I also Love KD. I watched Her singing by Roy Orbison or singing 3 cigarettes in an ashtray wiem się was Young Here Her talent and she herself are so mature, feelingfull, beautiful.
I know what you mean, believe me. But the depth of that passion (and, for me, this is one of the all-time best songs) is so beautiful to see its hard to look away. Since the first time I saw her sing I thought she was beautiful
She has retired but reappeared with her band the Reclines when she was given a special CMA award last week. kd is a woman who did punk country, sang with Roy Orbison, recorded with Tony Bennett, did a brilliant Bond song that did not get the rep it should have gotten. And Hallelujah.
I completely agree. But I much prefer the album version on Hymns of the 49th Parallel, where she doesn't tug around with the timing and tempo. Sometimes - often - less is more.
Wrong,...i've heard 8, 10, 12, 18 year olds sing this WAYYY better....they have most brought my heart to tears,...her,...meh,...no tears,...no emotion,...just a so so version of a fantstic song.
When Roy Orbison discovered K.D. Lang and they both sang Crying the world has since been her altar .. then she did the greatest tribute to writer , poet , singer Leonard Cohen .. she’s the only one who sings this with passion .. soul and a gift from God .. The universe is crying and angels are wrapping their wings about her .. love you K.D. Lang 💓💞❣️🥰
She's just fantastic, and so was that reception, Australia, in the good old days, no wonder! "Where do you go from here"..."back to Los Angeles",I felt that in my soul. My mother and I visited Australia in the early 80's and just LOVED it, went all over, drove from Sydney to Queensland, train to Adelaide, and just everywhere. On the last night, when we finally boarded Quantas to go back home to California, I cried like a baby. Everyone was asking my mother if I was ok. I felt that.
This is a masterclass in singing. No one can make a note soar into the air...and then bend it like kd lang. She sings like Van Cliburn played piano - exquisite, elegant, and transporting!
Some years ago, my husband and I were standing in line at a home town cafeteria. Looking around I spotted a familiar face a little ahead of us. It was that talented, elegant man who was chatting softly with a friend.. Van Cliburn could have been at the finest cafe in town, but here he was just like the rest of us; waiting his turn.
@@junevenable3724 Oh yes! I believe I know that "upscale" cafeteria...in Fort Worth. I never ate there but I know Van ate there quite a lot. I did dine at LaPiazza, his favorite Italian restaurant in Fort Worth. He liked the Caesar salad with sliced tomatoes and garlic ravioli. Long ago I worked as an out-of-state volunteer for VCF trying to get a grant to have classical music appreciation taught in the public school curriculum. My background is in elementary education and early childhood development. Van Cliburn was the kindest, most humble artist I ever met and I will never forget him. His genius was palpable.
KD LANG when she sings HALLELUJAH she isn’t singing a beautiful song, she is giving us an EXPERIENCE!! One you have this experience you will be changed forever in your heart!’😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊❤❤❤
@@lyndakoers1389 I don't know how he could've possibly work per that into one of his rallies. Just so wrong and evil it's not even funny... let's keep praying for Biden and all the good souls and better angels that are doing their best
That is one of the most perfect performances I've ever heard. KD's singing, the piano alongside and the orchestra providing a strong but gentle support.
The first time I heard this song she sang it at the Olympics and I cried. I still cry now every time I hear her sing it. K.D. Lang has a magical voice i just feel everything about this song from her. She is very special! ❤
Yes the Olympics Ceremonies was the 1st time I'd ever heard KD sing this incredible song and every since that performance I've looked forward to hearing her sing it again every time she does, her voice is such a powerful, soulful voice like no other I've ever heard, she's amazing but underappreciated, I'd recommend everyone to listen to her version as she sings like an angel on earth!! It'll blow your mind and soul, love you KD...I've only dreamed of having a God given voice as beautiful as yours!! 💗🤍💗🤍💗🤍😊😇
Have u seen KD Lang sing w Roy Orbison, the guy who did 4th ofJuly,,and other singers plus his band.. THEY (KD & ROY) did an amazing show. For PBS? Their voices were/are .... I cannot think a word that's good enough. Magical. Amazing. Clear. Phenomenonable. Nope not good enough words. !!!!
That is the most breathtaking rendition of this song and no one does it better than this amazing soulful singer, KD, you are simply brilliant, brings me to tear every time.
KD's version of Cohen's unbelievably beautiful song is amazing, she is so far the only artist I've heard sing it who puts her absolute all into it, tears and shivers everytime I hear KD sing it!!
I was never a fan until this song by KDL was used to end an episode of “Without a Trace”- I had to look it up and it is my very favorite version of this song.
This is the best version of this song ever sung. Pure raw unadulterated talent. K.D has such a beautiful melodic voice. A truly unique & talented lady.
Have loved KD since first hearing her on Austin City Limits. Major fan for more than 35 years. The most moving and beautiful version of this song I've ever experienced. KD goes deep. Love you, KD.
No need to talk about her voice; it's amazing as we can all attest. But I'm here for her tone and for the utter control she has over her breath and dynamics. A true artist and professional.
Yeah probably the best comment anywhere JenJo. I woke up my boyfriend when she sang at Montreal. Seen her live twice. This is her best version of this song. Sadly, Leonard is gone (saw him live too). Lou Reed is gone. David Bowie is gone. Dylan is the only one left of the great singer songwriters.
K.D Lang took her time. She walked the lyric to the end of that stage and she made sure everyone understood how painful Leonard Cohen meant these lyrics to feel. To live in a lifetime and hear a woman possess this much emotional depth and use that voice from God to move the soul is breathtaking. She is breathtaking......
So well said. She is truly a gift - not just her beautiful voice, but how she expresses it. I feel so lucky - blessed- to hear her sing. Thank you k.d. ❤️
Guy Will That is the best written and most heartfelt comment I have ever read. She DID indeed walk that lyric....the only way you couldn’t feel it is if you have no soul
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard. I have loved her music for many years. Thanks K.D. and Leonard Cohen for one of the beautiful songs ever written and sung!
When she holds those long notes...... I nearly cry!!! Chills! Absolutely breathtaking! I keep watching it over and over! Thank KD for sharing your god given voice!!!!!
A most winning g combination! The song and the singer! The most beautiful song ever written and sung by the best vocalist ever! Hallelujah and K.D. Lang!
I think you’ll find Jeff Buckley changed the whole way this song was performed and sung.. K.D. Lang does a fantastic job but she owes a lot to Buckley..she sings the same verses he sang which are selected from Cohen’s original longer song..she also sings the same beat.. Brilliant version but IMHO Buckley gives the best performance of this song..
@@MrNinetyFivePercent Sorry but I have to strongly disagree. I mean no disrespect to the late Jeff Buckley in any way. I know there are many who love his version and the distinct style he uses to sing it but K.D. sings it with such clarity and emotion and of course one of the best voices on the Planet!!
She took this song to depths and corners that even Leonard didn’t know were there. It is a shame we don’t hear more from her. There will never be another like her.
Was privileged enough to hear both Leonard & KD sing this song live at different times, both in Toronto. Bless you and Rip Leonard and long live KD. ❤️❤️❤️
Everytime I listen to k d lang sing this song, closing my eyes just enhances what I'm hearing her sing. It's almost hypnotic but it takes me away to a much better place. I love her version of one of my favorite songs.
As a Canadian, i am proud to have her in the ranks of some of the greatest singers in the world.....her voice is so strong, clear, pure...balanced....and her interpretive skills are unmatched....just STUNNING!
You know an artist is the real deal when the definitive version of their song is live. I don't mind the studio version but this song is on another level live (ish, this was a while ago).
There are many lovely versions of this song but no one, just no one sings it like kd Lang! Her beautiful voice is phenomenal. Just wish that we could see and hear more of her.
Such a powerful voice, The depth of her voice just sends me over the edge and wraps around my soul. There is no one around who can put so much FEELING and emotion into a song...WOW. I really think she should get some award for just this song alone.❗❗🙂🙃🙂
back again for the hundredth time!! I wait with bated breath for her 'crescendo' (s) while singing this song with meaning, heart and talent!! It NEVER gets old.
Every time I hear this woman sing the song it’s like the very first time, she gives me goose bumps and the tears start, powerful, moving and simply brilliant, no other voice like it, and the emotion she brings to it leaves me breathless, thank you K.D.Lang
Don't know if this is true but I heard Leonard Cohen actually regretted writing it until he heard KD Lang's cover - he said " now I know why I wrote this"
She DOES NOT KILL ... anything! Killing does not show love... or skill... or a beautiful voice... or a giving heart and she would certainly not want to END THE LIFE of this song. If you can't find a better way to praise something -- don't write reviews!
wowzieee - I am sure she does know. You don't get a standing ovation EVERY single time you sing a song and not get the point that people LOVE what you just did.
I cannot get enough of kd singing this song. I find myself seeking her out every few weeks. Chokes me up every time. Her modesty is almost as great as her voice.
I'm filled with a feeling of such immense love when I hear you sing this. EVERY SINGLE TIME! It makes me do the "ugly cry". Thank you K.D. Lang for this beautiful and priceless gift.
Leonard Cohen himself said after hearing KD Lang perform "Hallelujah" for him as he received a songwriting award "Well, I think we can lay that song to rest now! It's really been done to its ultimate blissful state of perfection". That like the ultimate compliment right there he's basically saying that out of the over 300 known cover versions of "Hallelujah" out there he reckons that KD Lang's version is the best.
This is my all time favorite song. Very beautifully done. I've always loved KD Lang's singing and style. Ever since I heard her song, "3 cigarettes in an ashtray". She sang that even better than Patsy Cline did and I thought that would be impossible.
Omg..brings tears to my eyes. You'd have to carry me out on a stretcher, if I were in person. Perfect, powerful voice, with such emotion, I forgot where I was. Thanks for taking me away.
As a mother who has lost three children of her own I know that they're no longer in pain in there with God this music just does awesome things for my heart some so much Ray Jo and Josh your mom still loves you so much
So beautiful , not only her voice , but her emotions , her spirit, her passion , her beautiful face , what an inner and outer beauty . Thank you KD for sharing yourself , your voice with us . God bless you 🤗
The best live performances I've ever seen!! Her face, the body language and all that it took to get that song to come out of her. When the song is over she's back to her usual pleasant, humble self with her rosey cheeks and cute smile. Wow! Can't watch this enough!
One of the greatest songs ever. I often give up listening half way through because most of the covers just don't cut it, but KD does it justice and pulls pure soul out of every corner of those lyrics.
That was absolutely breathtaking to listen to she definitely has a gift from God it took my breath away I've watched it about five times now wow can't imagine being in that room and seeing her sing that I know I've been crying
The beauty of the song, it's desperation, broken redemption, the humble nature of need and want, desperate even is so finely expressed in K D's power, grace, precision, and control. Celestial.
So many covers of this Leonard Cohen masterpiece. No one comes close to KD Lang, the emotion the voice and the soul. Just the very best.
I also loveJohnBon Jovi’s rendition.
@@maggieryan6988
@@maggieryan6988 I second that, I’ll go so far as to say Bon Jovi’s rendition is every bit as good as KD’s.
KD IS THE BEST SINGER❤
Her version on Hymns is the best version ever. Period.
One of the most underrated singers of all time. God, what a voice.
Didn’t even correct him when he said the Montreal games. Montreal was 1967. Vancouver was 2010. Class act
one of the most underrated performers ever. Talent like this, should not only be appreciated, it should be embraced

Such a beautiful voice

How can we possibly embrace it besides appreciating it ???
There is no artist who can sing another’s song like she can .Aces it every time ❤️
Leonard was so right, no one sings this better than KD.
She makes it even more hauntingly beautiful, her voice so rich, so velvety, no gimmicks, just so soulful, silky and strong, soft and deep, so much power, KD sends this straight to the heart
Very well said and so true.
I'm so glad he got to hear her sing it.
Yes all the thousands of covers and nobody is better
Did he really say that? Well, whether he did or not, I think this is the best ever cover. Nothing else comes f***ing close!
I completely agree! every time she sang this, it was heart stopping. She never got the accolades she really deserved. What a beautiful, beautiful voice, and what talent to use it. Definitely one of the greats, imho.

Pure talent 👍🌴🌴
This is the best song and version never
She is one of the most beautiful women. No pretention, no fake shit.... Just passion and raw emotion. She is fantastistic.
Yes, she has a natural raw beauty with amazing facial bone structure- her voice is straight from Heaven accompanied by the angels. You are amazing Katherine.
KD Lang is the real deal-
Raw talent.Hope we see more of her in 2023 🌟
Same here
not me
She is retired. I saw an interview where she said that she doesn't have any urge to sing.
Bert’s every word is correct.
@@welcome_2_the_junglekd, please do not retired, the world needs your voice your music your talent 🙏🙏🙏
Oh trust me, as a Canadian we absolutely love KD Lang. The incredible artists that she’s performed with, incredible music she’s written, her stunning voice and unique presence… There’s no one like her and there will never be another like her!
I just love everything about her . She is unique
Just a beautiful soulful singer with compassion in her voice
I’m Canadian living in the USA and we LOVE kD Lang
Trust me🙃I am Polish living in Poland and I also Love KD. I watched Her singing by Roy Orbison or singing 3 cigarettes in an ashtray wiem się was Young
Here Her talent and she herself are so mature, feelingfull, beautiful.
The best version ever of this song. Canada, thank you for sharing her talent with the world.
WHAT AN ARTIST ! No make-up, no facial beauty, no special outfits, no dancers, no light effects -ALL VOICE, FEELING, TALENT, BEAUTY.
I know what you mean, believe me. But the depth of that passion (and, for me, this is one of the all-time best songs) is so beautiful to see its hard to look away. Since the first time I saw her sing I thought she was beautiful
What do you mean, no facial beauty? Her voice and everything makes her beautiful inside and out
I think she is beautiful.
k.d. lang is beautiful of voice and face and soul.
She is such a beautiful soul...see her interview with Dame Edna Average
We Canadians call her the real deal and she always performs in bare feet. Love Love Love!!!!
Tell that to your homophobic friends.
i think maybe she likes the vibrations of the stage beneath her bare feet
I was watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics. I had fallen asleep. K.D. Lang, singing this song , woke me up! It was glorious!
this is how you cover a song. SO many folk do it, but KD has set the benchmark for how others should do it. Absolute masterpiece.
Unfortunately should does not equate to can. Thankfully kd lang has a rare and exquisite ability that she is able to share with us.
Perfect.sung with heart and soul.
She reaches into your body for your soul and laids it bare for all to see.
I second that emotion 🎶❤️🩹🤲💯
Is KD Lang still performing??? Miraculous voice!! Best female artist of all time! When she sings the angels stop and listen!!❤❤❤😇👼🧖🏻♀️💝
I agree!!!
Not performing is what I read.
She has retired but reappeared with her band the Reclines when she was given a special CMA award last week.
kd is a woman who did punk country, sang with Roy Orbison, recorded with Tony Bennett, did a brilliant Bond song that did not get the rep it should have gotten.
And Hallelujah.
I am the one 😉
KD gives me goosebumps every time I hear her sing Cohen's song. She sings it better than anyone. Absolutely beautiful.
Mmm, no. No she doesn't

Her rendition of that song is a disgrace. Makes me wanna throw up. Guess you don’t get out much.

Close your eyes while she’s singing this. Omg the emotions that you feel can’t be mistaken but pure bliss. What a amazing singer just wow.
Have to watch her.
Yes the emotion u can feel !! When I close my eyes. What a Blessing kd is.
makes me sad more than blissful
maybe that's more of a reflection of my own mind lol
Goosebumps!!
Everytime I listen to k d lang sing this song, closing my eyes just enhances what I'm hearing her sing. It's almost hypnotic but it takes me away to a much better place. I love her version of one of my favorite songs.
We went to see Sting in concert and K.D opened for him. She blew us away!! She is seriously amazing!! Made us huge fans!!!
I’m not crying. It’s just raining in my eyes.
KD Lang gives me chills with her beautiful voice especially singing Hallelujah. Magical !!!!
As a Canadian, i am proud to have her in the ranks of some of the greatest singers in the world.....her voice is so strong, clear, pure...balanced....and her interpretive skills are unmatched....just STUNNING!
She is one of the greatest female singers ever
STUNNING OMG ....... YES! ..... PURE ARTISTIC "PASSION"! ...... WOW!
A proud Canadian ? - now Offensive. !
SJW suck man , sorry
Cohen was Canadian too. ♥️
@@chrave1956 Huh?
You know an artist is the real deal when the definitive version of their song is live. I don't mind the studio version but this song is on another level live (ish, this was a while ago).
There are many lovely versions of this song but no one, just no one sings it like kd Lang! Her beautiful voice is phenomenal. Just wish that we could see and hear more of her.
Such a powerful voice, The depth of her voice just sends me over the edge and wraps around my soul. There is no one around who can put so much FEELING and emotion into a song...WOW. I really think she should get some award for just this song alone.❗❗🙂🙃🙂
Thank you God for awakening me to this magnificent and versatile voice of. kd Lang.
You said it better thanks love this fantastic singer
❤😂🎉Yes ! It soars !!!
She is unbelievable! KEEP SINGING!!!!!!
Agree 100% She's an angel 😇
back again for the hundredth time!! I wait with bated breath for her 'crescendo' (s) while singing this song with meaning, heart and talent!! It NEVER gets old.
Other singers focus on the vocal volume more than the mello timbre and purity.
So emotional...Excellent...
I an listen to this everyday 😊❤️
One of the most natural singers of our time.
Watching Jan 2020. This woman slayed this song, powerful, moving, emotional. Dear God it was outstanding.
Thank you for a beautiful song and great performance
Her best rendition was at the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics!
same here!
Another KILLER. YUCK.
@@carolpastrick9555 my favorite is Jeff Buckley, but I have heard many really excellent covers
Every time I hear this woman sing the song it’s like the very first time, she gives me goose bumps and the tears start, powerful, moving and simply brilliant, no other voice like it, and the emotion she brings to it leaves me breathless, thank you K.D.Lang
She touches my soul
EXACTLY!!!
You said that so well! I’m sitting here crying, but loving this song as well. Her voice is so emotional,so powerful......totally amazing.
Saw her the first time back on Johnny Carson...and was like, wtf! How awesome is she...
She is amazing
The fabulous k.D. Lang! She owned the most beautiful song ever written, Hallelujah! Also the number one best vocalist ever!
No one sings this song better. I love her singing! She brings this song to a whole new breathtaking level! God bless her!
KD Lang kills this song. There is not another artist that does a better job.
Don't know if this is true but I heard Leonard Cohen actually regretted writing it until he heard KD Lang's cover - he said " now I know why I wrote this"
@@545Booboo
I choose to believe he wrote it for her and didn't know it until he heard her sing it. I get chills Every time I hear her sing it.
Tim Buckley’s version is right up there with KD😃
And JonBonJovi
She DOES NOT KILL ... anything! Killing does not show love... or skill... or a beautiful voice... or a giving heart and she would certainly not want to END THE LIFE of this song. If you can't find a better way to praise something -- don't write reviews!
I hope kd realizes how much she touches our hearts with this song.
wowzieee - I am sure she does know. You don't get a standing ovation EVERY single time you sing a song and not get the point that people LOVE what you just did.
Amen
What an amazing voice she has ,, she did Leonard Cohen proud!! A true Canadian talented woman,, Beautiful
Still watching in 2024.
Yes... Still and forever.
I cannot get enough of kd singing this song. I find myself seeking her out every few weeks. Chokes me up every time. Her modesty is almost as great as her voice.
So very true she is wonderful
I SO AGREE! ...... SHE IS A TRUE ....... VERY GIFTED ......... ARTIST!
I do that myself. It's like when I need something, but I don't what.. I can always count on her voice to fulfill whatever aches me.
Gennifery hutson sin
Amazing
She’s the best this song isn't just about hitting the notes but putting your heart into words KD Lang does this
She brings me to my knees.
You got it, Jo. Enjoy! Shellie in Sunrise
Amen to that. I'm crying before she's barely started!!!! She moves through my soul with this. Love you KD.
@@marylegan2046 Okaaaaaay!!! Every time!!
I absolutely love her! ❤️ I think I have a woman crush and I'm as straight as can be. ☺️
KD Lang is the best I’ve ever heard of this song she’s amazing 🥰
Nope There is a young girl that sings this song that is so amazing and will leave you in wonder.
All the artists of today need to learn what real talent is by watching her performances!
Her control and range is something most performers only dream about.
I close my eyes and realize that now I know how the angels sound. What a gift KD has.
Please do NOT insult heavenly beings. She is NOT one. She has a nice voice, I'll give you that, but "how the angels sound"????? Like I said....
@@bcatypical Are you deaf or just stupid?
Damn someone is cutting onions, pure joy to listen to, you can hear the soul
I can't watch the clip. I sit in the dark with my eyes closed and am transported. This song must be experienced without external distraction.
Actually this is how angels wish they sounded.
I'm filled with a feeling of such immense love when I hear you sing this. EVERY SINGLE TIME! It makes me do the "ugly cry". Thank you K.D. Lang for this beautiful and priceless gift.
K. D. Lang sings from inside her heart! I feel it so strongly. Thank you Ms. Lang!
We miss you in public. A pure joy to listen to to.
Leonard Cohen himself said after hearing KD Lang perform "Hallelujah" for him as he received a songwriting award "Well, I think we can lay that song to rest now! It's really been done to its ultimate blissful state of perfection". That like the ultimate compliment right there he's basically saying that out of the over 300 known cover versions of "Hallelujah" out there he reckons that KD Lang's version is the best.
Douglas Roth agreed !!!
She honours him the way she performs it so well.
A joyful noise unto the Lord, for sure!
KD Lang is brilliant. I've always loved her singing
This is my all time favorite song.
Very beautifully done. I've always loved KD Lang's singing and style. Ever since I heard her song, "3 cigarettes in an ashtray". She sang that even better than Patsy Cline did and I thought that would be impossible.
she doesnt sing this song, she experiences it....no words even describe it
Crafty Crafter’s Place you can’t say that an not hear Jeff buckley
Yes!
You are so right. I felt it as soon as I heard her sing it. 😊
THE SOUL'S VOICE ........ LIVES WOW!
e
I seek out and listen to KD's versions of this, over and over. Her renditions are GLORIOUS - slightly different every time.
Omg..brings tears to my eyes. You'd have to carry me out on a stretcher, if I were in person. Perfect, powerful voice, with such emotion, I forgot where I was. Thanks for taking me away.
The voice, so rich with no tricks, she is certainly the person I believe sings it far better than anyone else!! Her voice gives me goosebumps!!!
As a mother who has lost three children of her own I know that they're no longer in pain in there with God this music just does awesome things for my heart some so much Ray Jo and Josh your mom still loves you so much
SO VERY SORRY FOR YOUR LOSS...PRAYERS....SHE IS FROM HEAVEN...
They are with my first baby Rebecca Magdalena💙💙💗
Pardon moi, dear.
💖💖💖
I am so very sorry for your loss. Have you listened to 'Angel (in the arms of') by Sarah McLoughlin? (sp?) If not, I strongly recommend it.
Thank you for sharing. I'm thinking of Ray, Jo, and Josh tonight.
So beautiful , not only her voice , but her emotions , her spirit, her passion , her beautiful face , what an inner and outer beauty . Thank you KD for sharing yourself , your voice with us . God bless you 🤗
When I haven't heard her for a while, I forget just how beautiful and true her voice is. Loved this. Thanks!
I had the great pleasure of seeing her sing this song twice in person...life-changing experience
The best live performances I've ever seen!! Her face, the body language and all that it took to get that song to come out of her. When the song is over she's back to her usual pleasant, humble self with her rosey cheeks and cute smile. Wow! Can't watch this enough!
Criminally underrated and brilliant, this superficial world doesn’t deserve her.
My God that woman's voice is amazing.
Dinah Cox-Moore she sings from the heart
Dinah Cox-Moore I’m in awe of this beautiful woman who took me straight to heaven with the angels Thankyou k.d.
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
*My eyes are filled with tears. Nobody on earth can sing like this..nobody. I love you, KD!*
Same here.
1000% correct!
So true
Dam right nobody
Nightbird she is awesome. Freddie Mercury would have loved to sing with this talented lady.
One of the greatest songs ever. I often give up listening half way through because most of the covers just don't cut it, but KD does it justice and pulls pure soul out of every corner of those lyrics.
That was absolutely breathtaking to listen to she definitely has a gift from God it took my breath away I've watched it about five times now wow can't imagine being in that room and seeing her sing that I know I've been crying
The beauty of the song, it's desperation, broken redemption, the humble nature of need and want, desperate even is so finely expressed in K D's power, grace, precision, and control. Celestial.
#best
Frankincensed Very well said.
