Katie is a great singer. However I have a soft heart for her because of kindness she showed a friend in high school. My friend had epilepsy and struggled with fitting in and being accepted. this was before I met her. She told me she went to high school in, I think it was Cardston Alberta. KD was in her class and was popular and considered cool. My friend had a seizure in class one day. Previously when she had a seizure at school teachers would sometimes empty the classroom, but when my friend was really young the kids would watch through the windows and she felt apart and on display. When she had a seizure in this classroom the teacher did not empty the classroom, they just gave her room and made sure she was OK. When she came out of it KD looked down at her and said, “cool’. lol. KD took my friend under her wing and my friend said they were the best school years of her life because of her. Her voice is incredible. And so is her heart.
She's one of the most underrated singers of our time. K.D. knows exactly when to belt those notes and when to hold back. That's a lesson a lot of female over singers need to learn. I can 100% believe her heart is breaking.
No one would ever suggest that I am a true artist,but I've been in love with k.d. music since the early 80s when she was belting out Patsy Clime songs as though they were intentionally written just for her.
Damn! What a voice. I know this is Roy Orbison's song BUT she sings this like it was written for her to sing. In my mind this is not a cover, it is an absolutely perfect masterpiece of a performance.
kd performing "Crying" is one of those rare examples of a cover measuring up to the original masterpiece. And Roy no doubt felt that way if you watch their duet of this song.
K D LANG also did amazing singing "Hallejuah" at the close of the Vancouver winter Olympics 2010-2011. One of the greatest songs ever written. She is CANADIAN and the song was from Leonard Cohen, another Canadian.
k.d. lang (she doesn't capitalize her surname or initials) is one of our national treasures here in Canada, and perhaps the finest pop alto/contralto since Karen Carpenter. As others have suggested, check out her cover of Hallelujah (or anything off Hymns Of The 49th Parallel), and also have a listen to her duo project with Tony Bennett...
People rarely suggest my two favorite song from k.d.: Save Me Wash Me Clean There is enough heartache in those two songs to cover “heartache songs” for the rest of time.
Yea, you followed yesterday's Roy Orberson song with Kd Lang version. Her voice is insane!! This was a tribute show and his wife was in the audience. Another great Canadian singer, she shocked country music with her first hit record and openly being Gay.
@@GonRogue-85 It does have something to do with it, indirectly. When she came out, many radio stations stopped playing her records and idiots came out in droves to sneer at her. She grew up in a small prairie town in Alberta, and being gay was one of the challenges that made her the tough and resourceful woman she is. It wasn't an easy road back in those times. People were still routinely being destroyed for coming out. It was character building. She doesn't put up with shit, and is well known for her empathy and kindness.
One of the worlds most extraordinary voices, just perfect. And yes, she deserved that standing ovation. And as already mentioned, Hallelujah in Vancouver is jaw dropping. Love from Australia.
Since you are such fans of Patsy Cline, I knew that you would also appreciate k.d. lang. She idolized Patsy and began to sing because of her. I saw k.d. perform this song live and the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I too was crying. We were all on our feet before the song was halfway over.
KD was drawn to the great Pasty Cline, she felt that they had a cosmic connection ("Pasty spoke to me spiritually. This deep, deep connection"). She was the reason KD went into country music. In 1988, KD recorded the album Shadowland, with Patsy's iconic producer Owen Bradley. The album is wonderful, full of great tracks. KD also is on youtube performing Pasty's "3 Cigarettes in an Ashtray", it's awesome.
KD knocks this out of the park, I've watched her perform this song on other YT videos and they are all equally as powerful. She really does this song justice - it gives me goosebumps at the end
kd is very underappreciated. You should also hear her do her Joni Mitchell tribute "help me". Or her version of "hallelujah" (esp the one where she sings if for the composer Leonard Cohen when he's inducted into the songwriters hall of fame) or her version of "constant craving" or her version of "helpless" or her version of "so in love". Really any of her songs.
You said it, and so have I, many times! K. D. Lang's voice is like silk. She is my favorite female singer of all time. Without taking anything away from Roy, I think K.D. does it better. She sounds like an angel. K.D. used to sing with Roy in the past, but she has had her own successful career. You should check out K.D. Lang's hits: "The Consequences of Falling" and "Constant Craving".
The only other female singer that can give me chills like k.d. lang is the great Patsy Cline. Please do more k.d. She covers some great Patsy Cline songs as well……Leavin on your mind, Walkin after midnight, I fall to pieces, etc.
I saw her in an interview and she was talking about her stage fright and how crippling it was and that she almost didn't pursue her singing career because of her stage fright and then she told herself that her voice was a gift for God and who was she to not use that gift she had been given , And the rest is history ! She has a very beautiful powerful voice !
Also you should check out K.D. Lang singing "Halauijaah" at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010-2011. It is epic to. Also check out "Pulling Back the Reins"
Lang's career received a huge boost when Roy Orbison chose her to record a duet of his standard, "Crying", they won the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals in 1989. At the end of her performance she raises her arm to Roy in heaven.
Now that you have seen both artists, now time to move to the DUET version, with both Roy and K.D... Roy was a K.D fan too. Also, if you want another great K.D. Lang cover, I throw my hat in the ring for Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". I recommend the version she did at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010. It delivers everything this video did, and maybe a bit more... Maybe even a LOT more...
An older song of hers that gives me goosies is Pullin Back the Reins. She did an album of covers from the 50’s called Shadowland that is incredible - and had some pop radio hits
KD is amazing, I think the first time I ever heard her sing was in the movie Dick Tracy with a group called take 6, it was a song called ridin' the rails.
I was lucky enough to see her in concert three times back in the 80's. Not only does she have an amazing voice, she is funny, and she challenges societal standards in a way that actually made people think rather than get offended!
Please do I’d Lang rendition of Hallelujah. Will give you chills and scream amen. Song was covered by many artists but hers is the most heavenly version 💜
What a beautiful, miracle of a woman!
No one should ever be allowed to cover a Roy Orbison song. Except KD Lang. She is allowed to sing any song, any time. Always.
I will say that the amazing Linda Ronstadt did a great version of Blue Bayou.
Raul Malo is ever so worthy of covering Roy Orbison. You should watch some of his videos singing Roy's songs, it just as amazing.
@@kelleychilton2524 Agreed!
sofronio nailed it
You forgot Rebecca Del Rio, she sings the Spanish version of Crying from David Lynch's Movie "Mulholand Drive"!

Even Roy said she had the best set of pipes ever
I agree!!
Absolutely
Chillbumps in places.
@@oliviasimonich2386 Ya, really big ones!
That woman is simply amazing.
Canadian here. Our absolute treasure. She is the best!!!
K D Lang is awesome
Beautiful voice. Smooth as silk.
KD is so under rated by the main stream. Only true artists know her pure talent.
She's well known and has been for years.
No she's not she's very popular
@@LinkRocksAnd Rolling Stone left her out of the 200 greatest singers....even further proof how out of touch that publication has become. 😮
She's Canadian and we know how great she is.
No one would ever suggest that I am a true artist,but I've been in love with k.d. music since the early 80s when she was belting out Patsy Clime songs as though they were intentionally written just for her.
That last note was ONE BREATH!
Yes, it was amazing!!
WOW is right, she's amazing!
That ovation lasted over 4 minutes and was VERY well deserved.
You’ve struck gold! Obviously Roy Orbison is the GOATbut hold on to your chairs. Her voice is perfection 💕
My favorite voice.
Damn! What a voice. I know this is Roy Orbison's song BUT she sings this like it was written for her to sing. In my mind this is not a cover, it is an absolutely perfect masterpiece of a performance.
Roy and KD Lang recorded this song together in 1987
kd performing "Crying" is one of those rare examples of a cover measuring up to the original masterpiece. And Roy no doubt felt that way if you watch their duet of this song.
K.D.Lang has the voice of an angel!
KD Lang is a powerhouse. I’m so glad someone requested this song. So many more to go!
K D LANG also did amazing singing "Hallejuah" at the close of the Vancouver winter Olympics 2010-2011. One of the greatest songs ever written. She is CANADIAN and the song was from Leonard Cohen, another Canadian.
what do you mean "she"
@@canarsie56 K.D. Lang is the best female vocalist who has ever come from Canada.
@@canarsie56 K.D. Lang is a female.
She is the most amazing singer!!!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE that performance
She’s from Canada! We’re real proud of her up here. Willie Nelson calls her “PIPES” because, as he says ‘she’s got the best pipes in the business’ :)
The lovely lesbian has an unbelievable voice.
Yes she does.
k.d. is a vocal miracle - her power and control are unmatched. But it's her quiet moments that break me.
I saw her live in a 4800 seat theatre. When she hit the high notes the walls shook. It was unbelievable.
She also did this as a duet with Roy....it was stunning. Canada has a treasure....Her "Hallelujah" for the Olympics was legendary!
KD Lang from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦
She has an amazing voice!
My favorite female singer. You should listen to Black Coffee. ❤️
K.D. Lang's song Three Days is another one of her best. Try it, you'll like it!
If you liked her voice on this one, check out Barefoot...from her film, Salmonberries. It's a very hauntingly beautiful tune.
Listen to her version of "Hallelujah". Breathtaking.
SUCH AN EMOTIONAL POWERHOUSE OF A VOICE!
Her voice gives me chills.
k.d. lang (she doesn't capitalize her surname or initials) is one of our national treasures here in Canada, and perhaps the finest pop alto/contralto since Karen Carpenter.

Karen Carpenter was not in this league. Not close.
People rarely suggest my two favorite song from k.d.:
Save Me
Wash Me Clean
There is enough heartache in those two songs to cover “heartache songs” for the rest of time.
Awesome guys. As someone else already suggested, Hallelujah at the Vancouver Olympics
Yea, you followed yesterday's Roy Orberson song with Kd Lang version. Her voice is insane!! This was a tribute show and his wife was in the audience. Another great Canadian singer, she shocked country music with her first hit record and openly being Gay.
No offense but her talent stands alone in a class by herself, being gay has nothing to do with it.
@@GonRogue-85 ...You don't know much about being gay, do you?
His name is Roy Orbison…..

Shawn & Mel, you'll love K. D.'s "Constant Craving"!!
The whole album was amazing!
Definitely should do "Constant Craving"..
k.d. lang is a tremendous talent, and a wonderful human.
One of the worlds most extraordinary voices, just perfect. And yes, she deserved that standing ovation.
And as already mentioned, Hallelujah in Vancouver is jaw dropping. Love from Australia.
The voice like no other and so under rated by the industry

Four minute standing ovation from a crowd full of famous entertainers who knew the song and appreciated her so much.
Please, please, please check out KD Lang doing Hallelujah. She does such an incredible job of it!
Constant Craving is a great song. But you will be blown away by Miss Chaterlaine. Seriously
Yesssssss!
Constant Craving's are far better song.
Ever since Constant Craving, (30 years ago!) I've loved k.d. lang, and probably always will.💖🎶✨
K. D. Lang - The most underrated unappreciated Superstar ever 🙁
In the U.S., her biggest pop hit was "Constant Craving." Amazing voice!
Biggest,& probably only real hit in the UK too.
She even got a writers credit on a Rolling Stones song for that song.
She is so talented and does Roy justice. ❤❤❤❤❤
Now it's time to hear ROY ORBISON "Crying" w/ K.D. LANG .... AWESOME.
Her version of this is in a league all by itself!
Listen to 3 cigarettes in an ashtray by KD.
One of the most amazing voices ever!
I love K.D. and her version does the song justice. I highly recommend her song “Miss Chatelaine”.
kd is very underappreciated. You should also hear her do her Joni Mitchell tribute "help me". Or her version of
"hallelujah" (esp the one where she sings if for the composer Leonard Cohen when he's inducted into the songwriters hall of fame) or her version of "constant craving" or her version of "helpless" or her version of "so in love". Really any of her songs.
OR,OR ,OR…..
The list is long and amazing! She is an incredible vocalist and her live performances are as good if not better then her recordings!
KD knows how to pierce your soul with her voice. I used to have the biggest crush on her.
Me too!! 😅
KD Lang is all kinds of awesome. And when she sings a sad song, she hits you right where it hurts. And it hurts so good.
Now you need to do Hallelujah from Vancouver Winter Olympics. She is amazing.
KD is our Canadian gem❤️🇨🇦 Willy Nelson called her 'PIPES' and Tony Bennett said she has the best female voice of ALL time❤🇨🇦😁
She is an amazing singer. Her voice just soars to the clouds. Every song she sings gives me goose bumps.
k.d. lang is an awesome talent. What a voice! Check out her hit, "Pullin' Back The Reins" too!! You can really hear the beauty of her tone in it.
K.D. Lang is a special talent. It's not just her voice, it's the control she has over her voice.
Trail of Broken Hearts one of my favorite K.D. Lang songs.
KD has one of the most beautiful dreamy voices of all time.
Yes, chills.
Chills on top of chills for sure.
💖
She is literally one of the greatest singers of all time. With Aretha, Karen Carpenter, Whitney
K.D. has an amazing voice!
You should hear her singing halalullagh at the Olympics totally amazing
You said it, and so have I, many times! K. D. Lang's voice is like silk. She is my favorite female singer of all time. Without taking anything away from Roy, I think K.D. does it better.

Ella Fitzgerald when she's NOT doing the fact jazz tripe.
You should listen to k.d. lang sing with Tony Bennett, this woman has the most incredible voice.
k.d. is amazing. Love her so much.
👍❤🤙
I loved both of your reactions. Please also listen to K D Lang sing Leonard Cohen's "Halleluja". It will blow your minds.
I've always loved her voice. Absolutely beautiful.

Golden voice. Her version of So in Love by Cole Porter is heartbreaking and Perfect
You need to check out k.d. lang's duet with Tony Bennet. The song is Blue Velvet. k.d. has an amazing voice for sure!
Love your reaction

i agree 100 percent
There is a video of her and Roy Orbison doing this song together! You need to find it, and react!
K D Lang 2010 Canadian Olympics singing Hallelujah her best ever hands down.

Best rendition of crying in the whole wide world
She has such an incredible voice, my favorite performance was her singing hallelujah at the Olympics. Please check it out if you get the chance 🙂
Her voice is incredible. Please react to Constant Craving.

What a beautiful song and performance. Spectacular!
Love KD. Everything she does sounds amazing.
KD is amazing, I think the first time I ever heard her sing was in the movie Dick Tracy with a group called take 6, it was a song called ridin' the rails.
As a Canadian I grew up listening her was always on the radio and Canadian shows great singer
You have to kd sing hallelujah at 2010 winter Olympics in Vancouver
I was lucky enough to see her in concert three times back in the 80's. Not only does she have an amazing voice, she is funny, and she challenges societal standards in a way that actually made people think rather than get offended!
kd lang has a phenomenal voice. Her biggest hit is Constant Craving, but she is always a great listen.
You should react to Roy Orbison and K D Lang singing Crying together. Please. K D Lang the pride of Canada
My favorite cover of this wonderful song.
She could sing....thats for sure!💞
I am newly impressed by her every time I see her.
Another one of our fabulous Canadian artists 🇨🇦❤ home grown talent ⭐
Please do I’d Lang rendition of Hallelujah. Will give you chills and scream amen. Song was covered by many artists but hers is the most heavenly version 💜
