FIRST TIME LISTENING TO | K.D. LANG - CRYING (Roy Orbison Tribute) | REACTION

[@MoniqueMcpherson-d6x]

k.D.Lang just got inducted into 2024 Canadian Country music Hall of Fame.

[@lisagignac1182]

I am willing to argue that k.d. Lang is the best female vocalist ever :)

[@kennethdodemaide8678]

No argument here.

[@leelee2350]

I've always loved her voice, mellow beyond belief.

[@palopinto4065]

Don't have to argue with me. I agree with you.

I'm a straight woman, but every time I see/hear K.D. from the 90's perform, like every other straight woman, my knees buckle.

[@operadad]

k.d. lang is a Canadian treasure... she is widely known as a singers singer and has won 4 grammys. Tony Bennett which she did several duets with called her the best singer in the world. Her album Ingenue is one of the best ever according to Rolling Stone and several other publications. She started out as a honky tonk country singer who worshipped Patsy Cline but with her extremely powerful voice soon mainstream took notice. After her first appearance on the Tonight Show she quickly became one of Johnny Carson's favorites and he had her perform regularly. If you want to hear her range and control..her performance of Hallelujah at the opening ceremonies in Vancouver 2010 Olympics is iconic. I have seen her live many times and she is better live than on record. My favorite song of hers is Barefoot which is hauntingly beautiful. She had a #1 hit with Constant Craving. She is an amazing song writer and unmatched vocalist. Glad you got introduced to her.

[@leslieswiman4813]

❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@Jiggyjiggy123]

Constant Craving was on her Ingenue album. My parents came to visit me while k.d. was in town for that tour. I had to run down to the Opera House to get 2 more tickets. Third row, center! My dad left in love, my mom walked out enthralled. They both told me they never thought I had the best taste in music (back to my Janis Joplin days). It was a night we talked about often before they died.

[@hopesprings4967]

I saw K.D. At Walden’s lounge in Edmonton when she was in the very beginning of her career! She was wearing a dress and cowboy boots! Hair in pigtails. I love how controversial she is. She is from Southern Alberta, Canada. She’s a vegetarian that used to piss off the ranching community in Southern Alberta, when she would denounce meat. 😂😂😂 Her voice goes straight to my soul. Love K.D.❤❤👏👏👏💫💫🥮🥰🇨🇦🇨🇦

[@sansnom508]

I'm a Canadian woman the same age as k.d. and my appreciation of her in every aspect has only grown over the years. She is exceptionally talented, brave, and intelligently outspoken on matters of importance.

[@telese228]

Looks like a man

[@scapito]

Her version of Hallelujah live at the Olympics will knock your socks off

[@luciebrisson5881]

Her version of Hallelujah at The Logies May 2010 will do even more.

[@sandrareynolds3003]

Like out of this world knock your socks off!!!😍😍

[@williammichael2156]

My favourite KD song for sure X

[@pjj9491]

Just what I was gonna say...❤❤❤❤

[@pjj9491]

If you dont know Patsy Cline...kids hero and ck out Mandy Barnett...they channel her

[@xenaswolf]

Sir, you were just SCHOOLED for your sass! kd lang is one of the best voices to ever have graced this earth. That is why Roy Orbison had her duet the song with him in the '80. Please, dive deeper into the kd lang rabbit hole. You will be amazed.

[@lauralametterey8125]

Yahoo!

[@annesaffer629]

I saw that performance! WOW! First time I heard KD sing, and never forgot it. Excellent duet!

[@rvnut1133]

That's real talent right there, no embellishments, no ear pieces, not fake anything. Just music and her voice, exactly what is missing with many of today's "talents".

[@belvagurr403]

She received a 4 minute standing ovation for Crying, one of Roy Orbison’s best songs!!!

[@vizzini589]

One of the best vocalists of the last 25 years. Control, power, tone, delivery. She is the envy of every singer.

[@sandralittle2138]

You said it true!

[@patio3983]

I cannot think of anyone past or present that will ever ever outdo her version ❤

[@carmenoltersdorfo6944]

💯

[@nancylawrence252]

Her voice is beyond description, she gives me goosebumps from start to finish, simply amazing!

[@donnalittlerain9790]

She has the most beautiful voice. Much RESPECT

[@annedunne4526]

Her version of " Hallelujah" is so perfect and almost painfully beautiful. I had only ever heard Roy Orbison sing " Crying" but this is masterful.

[@williammichael2156]

There's a video of her & Roy doing a duet, which is brilliant.

[@stephenfermoyle4578]

there duet is even better

[@maggiesu]

Glenn Campbell did Crying also. He also did a great job.

[@cindyhammond7320]

She takes my breath away everytime I hear her voice. Her voice is just such a gift that she shares with us.

[@phyllisbrannagan5522]

You might cry, it’s beautiful! Then listen to Roy Orbison. You will cry.

[@325diane]

Love how she looked up and said "thank you, Roy." Never saw a combination of raw power and total control like that before. Brilliant!

[@AnnV1955]

Hallelujah is AMAZING!

[@luciebrisson5881]

Live, at The Logies May 2010, best version.

[@jayweb51]

The duet of Roy Orbison and K D Lang is eerily haunting, the best performance of Crying l have ever heard.

[@susanblack1557]

So incredibly beautiful‼️

[@countrygirl7402]

She hit country in the 80s and blew it up!! She had the golden voice. Her voice is amazing.

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

wish she'd had more music, no matter how much. we need more. She had an iconic voice, just extraordinerY!

[@HeatherfromBabylon]

@@KindCountsDeb3773 she came out as a lesbian in 1980s. That's why she's not a superstar, and everyone knowing her name. It was different in those days. She was friends Ellen Degeneres and Melissa Etheridge. Her voice is unmatched.

"made her a star" ??? She was already a star!

Heidi. Correct. She was there because she was a star

Well she slayed that one.

She is a complete artist. Anything she performed is worthy.

I’ve had the pleasure of seeing kd twice in concert. The “Constant Craving” tour and one in the early 2000s. kd slays it every damn time.

[@christinefox9075]

In my humble opinion, I think she's the best female singer ever.

[@suepooh3822]

Definitely THE BEST

[@anitapeludat256]

Jeanne C. Riley and Bonnie Raitt. Powerfully talented song birds with natural power and gifted voices, along with K. d. Lang. ,❤

[@lorijohnson2348]

I would have to agree!! ❤

[@divinemadness7119]

I remember being a teenager when k.d. & Roy’s duet came out and I have been hooked on k.d. ever since. I remember the concert where k.d. sang backup for a Roy Oribison special (with so many other well known music artists) as a highlight of their collaboration. Thank you for taking me back to when the world first discovered k.d.lang and her superb voice

[@Nana12172]

Amazing breath control and lotsssss of emotions in her voice

[@Triggerhippie70]

I remember when she performed this during Roy Orbison's tribute back in the day. I had tears in my eyes watching it. She is something amazing!

[@christinascallion6557]

I remember when she was just starting out . Used to go see her perform at a local watering hole when I was in college in Alberta, Canada. She had a brush cut and a square dancing skirt , did wild rocking rockabilly with an edge and ballads that did Patsey Kline proud.

[@Aurora-cv5to]

to me, the worst of his self-congratulatory hype (I was there! It made me big!) was saying this made KD a star. She was ALREADY an enduring star or she wouldn't have been performing there.

[@MichelleMMears]

She’s spectacular.

[@henkatderksen833]

Oh she sings so much!!!! KD is Canada's gem. I've been listening to her since day one when it was "KD Lang and the Reclines". she had that voice!!!!! and it's not at all surprising she went on to a successful solo career. Listen to her doing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". You won't be disappointed.

[@skipmessier765]

Had the opportunity to see her live in Providence, RI several years ago. After a remarkable show featuring a selection of her own tunes, “ Cryin’ “ came along. What occurred next was, in my opinion, the performance of a lifetime. Not only were the background singers and band first rate, KD Lang’s voice was sublime. During the song her tone started like a smooth fine wine and as the song progressed her voice grew until as the song approached its’ climax, looking around the audience there honestly was not a dry eye in the house along with many couples in warm embrace and weeping. Truly an incredible experience and surely one not to be missed. One of the most remarkable singers of our time.

[@JeanneShelly]

what talent

[@DebbieHancock-i2m]

Constant Craving has been my favorite by her.

[@beedeegee9374]

Oh, my gosh, YES!

[@williammichael2156]

Mine too

[@catherineday951]

Her version of this on MTV Unplugged is even better. KD is amazing, no matter what she sings. Hallelujah at the 2010 Winter Olympics is fantastic.

[@25easystreet]

Yeah, the MTV Unplugged version is moving. Should have watched that one.

[@jadeshand2990]

MTV version is unbelievable. The pain in her voice is heartbreaking. No one on this planet does emotion as well a K.D.

[@friedaprince]

you have to hear her rendition of "Three Cigarettes in the Ashtray"

[@KindCountsDeb3773]

Four minute standing ovation. The audience was full of talented musians, bands, singers etc who knew the song and appreciated. Listen to "constant craving" and Hallelujah.

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

k.d.lang is a powerhouse of a singer her version of Leonard Cohens Hallelujah is fabulous he said no one else need to cover the song as she has sung it to its ultimate state of perfection it can be put to bed ❤ some suggestions from her early cow punk days Turn Me Round/Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray you can see them both on the Johnny Carson show video, Write Me in Care of the Blues, Bopalena, Hanky Panky, Big Boned Gal some later k.d her biggest hit Constant Craving, You’re Ok, The Mind of Love, Miss Chatelaine, Sexuality, Barefoot her wolf howls are spine chilling, even later k.d I Confess, Sleeping Alone, Asleep With No Dreaming, Sugar Buzz, Perfect Word, Blue Velvet with Tony Bennett is sublime ❤❤ Willie Nelson’s nickname for her is ‘PIPES’ you can see why ❤ she consider herself semi retired now xx love love love k.d ❤❤

She got one of the longest standing ovations of that concert. KD is a Canadian national treasure and we Canadians love her.

[@janisburns6848]

I am so happy that Kd Lang is being [rediscovered]? by as many people as possible. I am writing this from Calgary Alberta Canada. at 12:30 am after a Beethoven concert. I first saw KD in Vancouver in a tiny,and I mean tiny bar in Vancouver called the Railway car in 1978. We all knew she was destined for stardom. I have been listening for 48 years now. The reason she is great [and this is from an interview with her] is very simple. She LOOOOVES to sing and you can't fake that. Chills every time. She is from a small Alberta town and has not forgotten her roots.that's part of who she is but she really belongs to the world, generation after generation. You must listen to her live performance of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah at the Canadian Juno awards in 2005 [still on line.] honouring his lifetime achievements. . He was in the front row and she sang directly to him and once again brought the house down. So this is the long of it to let you who she is and where she comes from. Great to see your reaction if a little sceptical at first. Thank you for that version of crying. Take good care now PS used to live in NYC

[@raymondmaheux3996]

Yes K.D. LANG is the best signer in the world and she is our Canadian star. And I most say that CRYING IS one of the best songs too ❤❤❤❤❤❤
