KD Lang is a phenomenal artist. You should listen to her version of Roy Orbison’s “Crying “. It will leave you speechless.

[@Dusty999]

Especially her live performance kzbin.info/www/bejne/qqeahGusaNeAY7c.

[@beedeegee9374]

Definitely!

[@joannecunliffe8067]

I've heard a lot of versions of this song and plenty of songs by KD Lang BUT I've never heard her version of this song. Beautiful. Oh course, it's Leonard Cohen's song but she definitely did it justice. This is another reason why I hate autotune so much. Listen to how devastating KD Lang's slides are into those notes. How could you possibly sing a decent version of this song with autotune! What you need is skill and a fabulous voice which is what she has in abundance.

[@sarahjaneblenkhorn8821]

Yes, please!

[@lkms338]

Live version please.

[@ddiamondr1]

I hold a soft spot in my heart for k.d. lang. She went to high school with a friend of mine. My friend, who I didn’t know at that time, had epilepsy. She had been bullied a lot in her previous school. When she moved to Consort, Alberta, KD Lang, who is considered one of the coolest kids in the high school, took Allison under her wing. Allison said it was the first time she belonged anywhere. ❤️

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

KD Lang "Hallelujah" (from 2010 Olympics Vancouver) 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@user-or1ye3iz6d]

This is the most incredible version at the Vancouver Olympics 🙌

[@vizzini589]

K.D. is one of the iconic Canadian singers of all time. She sang this at the closing ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics and you could have heard a pin drop in front of 60,000 people. Been covered many times, but for me This is the definitive version. Well done to you both.

[@mannyfran8024]

Agreed

[@jillbishop4413]

As others have said, I love the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics version by her, not only is her version beautiful, but so are the visuals. As for KD’s thoughts on the meaning of the song, “To me it’s (about) the struggle between having human desire and searching for spiritual wisdom. It’s being caught between those two places.”

[@danareale8347]

YES!!

[@technomikelyons]

Vancouverite here -- I have never been much into most of the Olympic sports but the closing ceremonies were magic that year. For me, especially, was Alanis Morissette's "Wunderkind", beautiful song and to see all the people from around the world celebrating together was amazing! @Rob Squad Reactions: If you'd like to check it out, here's a link to the 2010 Olympics performance by Alanis. kzbin.info/www/bejne/hZOlc5qObtqjqJY

[@esmaanderson1802]

Please do KD Lang again. Especially her solo tribute to Roy Orbison with her rendition on his Crying. Any of the live versions to really appreciate her interpretation.

[@nightowl5395]

Yes...please do react to her singing 'Crying'...

[@debbiechang5781]

You guys are long overdue for reacting to this woman’s gorgeous voice. She is absolutely amazing. A Canadian treasure! 🌺✌️

[@nightowl5395]

I love her voice; it is the best example of someone's singing voice being a natural instrument, she has such control...this is my favourite version of this song.

[@roberthaines1227]

This is my favorite version of this song. Actually the live version is even better. Her voice is sublime.

[@geminigreywolf6655]

Saw her live and man she sang the hell out of this song. Goosebumps

[@lauradetjen1573]

You need to watch her perform this song to truly appreciate her expression and control. The 2010 Winter Olympics was a spectacular venue to see her and the crowd come together.

[@pmculley4]

I love her singing Wash Me Clean.

[@kelliadamswityk7164]

Her love version is amazing! Saw her perform it live. She played at Vancouver Olympics in 2010 and she performed it to Leonard Cohen in Winnipeg as well. Mind-blowing to watch the passion on her face. So good!

[@sharoninglima1217]

KD Lange is such a great talent. Her voice is masterpiece. If you listen to Crying you’ll see her power. ❤❤

[@RandomShart]

So much power but smooth as silk. I just love her voice, no one else sounds like her.

[@kristitimbrel189]

This version, years and years ago, for the opening ceremonies to the Olympics, is how I heard this song for the first time... I instantly became a huge fan of K.D. Lang!! ❤️

[@kellystevens5681]

As a Montrealer, home of the late, great Leonard Cohen - he always said her version was the best. This song is about so much more than a hymm - it's about life, love and surrender. Glad you got to enjoy our other Canadian treasure, KD Lang.

[@mauk2861]

Another great track from KD is "Constant Craving".... the definitive version of this song for many is the Pentatonix one.

[@jposika540]

Google the 2010 Vancouver Olympics, K.D.Lang for her greatest performance of this song. Goose bumps!!

[@mikerichardson60]

Her live performance in Winnipeg with Leonard Cohen in attendance is other worldly. Mr Cohen considered K.D's rendition to be the ultimate expression of this amazing song.

[@LisaMarie-gi7wd]

So Beautiful! Pentatonix (an American a cappella group) from Arlington, Texas, sings a gorgeous rendition of this song as well! 😀

[@wjdietrich]

KD is a Canadian Icon and the original version is by another Canadian Icon folk legend Leonard Cohen. You MUST check out his version!!!

[@barbkrettler1944]

Absolutely beautiful I think the best rendition I heard. You can also understand every word.

[@carenhelms8518]

I've always loved K.D. Lang's version of this song. I think you guys would also be wowed by the Pentatonix version of "Hallelujah". It's amazing in its own way and completely a capella.

[@Islendingar]

This is an amazing slice of KD’s beautiful silky smooth voice and a real powerful track too Xxxxx turn up the volume and bask in the awesome voice …….

[@jimleonard8225]

She has a lot of fantastic songs, "Constant Craving" being her best and biggest hit. In fact her album "Ingenue" is packed with.her best songs.

[@Triggerhippie70]

I grew listening to KD Lange! I was introduced to her by my beautiful Uncle, who was gay and died of AIDS. I was 18 at the time, I’m 52 now. Until this day, when I listen to this amazing woman, I think of him with very fond memories.

[@anna2mac550]

Guys this is a softer side of her she is a powerhouse one of the best voices out there she can sing anything must listen to her songs from country to jazz and in between crying is one of my favorites constant craving is another one.

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

k d lang, who always uses lower case letters in her professional name, is a 🇨🇦 singer from Alberta, who recorded major hits in the 90s, such as Crying, and Constant Craving. This song, Hallelujah, came a decade later, when her star had faded a bit.

[@crowdedisolation]

This version of Hallelujah was written by Leonard Cohen. kd Lang sings it the best in my humble opinion. She recorded on her Hymns from the 49th Parallel album (the 49th Parallel is the border between the US and Canada). She sang it live at the opening ceremony of the Olympic games in Vancouver Canada in 2010. You must check out that performance. She was AMAZING.

[@thebeardedseeker5633]

Her performance of this song at the Olympics slayed! I'd definitely recommend watching that magical performance when you get a chance. It's on youtube.

[@jamesjackson7878]

The best version of KD Lang singing Hallelujah is from the 2020 firelight concert. Bush fire relief concert. There is twice the emotion conection

[@barriehull7076]

Bob Dylan was among the first to perform Cohen's song in concert with his earliest noted performance being in Montreal on 8 July 1988.[159] Other notable singers who have covered "Hallelujah" include Brandi Carlile, Regina Spektor, Willie Nelson, Susan Boyle, Tim Minchin, Myles Kennedy, and Bono. Different interpretations of the song may include different verses, out of the over 80 verses Cohen originally wrote.

[@DBCuzitis]

K.D. Lang is such a great singer. Her version(s) of this song gives me shivers, breaks my heart at times, and makes me want to cry - and I can’t say why, just the emotions K.D. pours into this song pours into me listening to it. Beautiful

[@lisavalentine8877]

Several live versions of this are spectacular. Her performances are wonderful. Also, check out "Crying", and one that I only found recently on KZbin, her first time on the Tonight Show with Johhny Carson, "Write Me in Care of the Blues"

[@sheryldoughty8820]

Leonard Cohen said that the acapella version of the song from Pentatonix was his favorite version. You really should react to them. It's a rabbit hole you'll never regret following.

[@newbluemoon4903]

My favourite rendition. I close my eyes and ride on KD’s vocal to a soulful, emotional dimension. Amber, thank you for the kind words for our veterans. We owe them everything. Might I recommend a great FF song? “Baby It’s You” by Smith from 1969. Gayle McCormick’s vocals stand right along with the best female Rock/Blues singers.

[@yvonnemendez3075]

Beautiful if anyone made to sing this it's Ms KD Lang❤

[@catherinetiernan5888]

Yes what Andy said, her duet with Roy Orbison is so beautiful

[@ImToastAlso]

I’ve been suggesting this - there was a tribute to Roy Orbison in which KD Lang sang “Crying“ which is perhaps the most heart stopping version of this song I have ever heard. Please, you will not regret listening to this song!

[@ferdinandcastagnera794]

At the deaf school that I went to as a kid, this was the first song that I was taught to do with my voice & in America 🇺🇸 sign language...at the deaf community church ⛪!!!!

[@barbarachieppo9603]

I love this song as it's sung in the very first 'Shrek.' "Used to live alone before I knew ya." ❤❤❤

[@brupic8968]

she did it at the winter olympics in vancouver in 2010. brought the house down.....can't remember if leonard cohen, the montreal born, composer, was in the crowd or not

[@541walker]

'Crying' with Roy Orbison is a must! You will love it!!

[@mrnobody3161]

K D Lang came out of a small town in Alberta Canada, dressed up in Punked Out Country Square Dacing Clothing, performing her unique sound of PunkRockaBilly music as a teenager. No one had seen or heard anything like it.

[@samic1051]

I wish you guys had found the video that other reactors had of Katie Lang performing Hallelujah at the Vancouver 2010 winter Olympics. It was just so awesome I was blown away, I Was living in England I am now back in Canada. A big hello I think you guys are awesome

[@jasonmarcel4823]

You're going to put on either "Trail of Broken Hearts" or "Pullin' Back the Reins" and K.D. Lang will change your mind about Country. First time I heard both of those as a kid, you knew you were listening to a legendary voice just a couple words into the song. This cover of Leonard Cohen, or her version of Roy Orbison's "Crying" or Joni MItchell's "Help Me" are perfectly wonderful, but you really need to hear the difference when it's her own song flowing through her.

[@reallymysterious4520]

To everyone who like this song check out KD's live version at the Juno Awards in Winnipeg - I think from 2004 - but there is just the one from Winnipeg - and it is on KZbin

[@jakewaters1546]

I'm not even kidding yall!!! You NEED to see hear performance of this song live at the closing ceremonies of the Vancouver Olympics!!!

[@jakewaters1546]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/qpSygoahlMiAhZI

[@Jay180]

Must see her perform it live! There are a few great versions to choose from. Thanks for this one. 👍🏼🤗

[@karenj3611]

KD has one of the most powerful voices ever! Definitely check out her stuff with Roy Orbison

[@Pushindazees]

Absolutely breathtaking! If you get the chance check out her live versions of her songs, it's amazing to see the passion and power she brings to her performances. Another one that will literally seem to make time stop is her version of Roy Orbison's Crying. And her hit from the 90s Constant Craving is a must!

[@stephenwmsmith]

I went to the same college as k.d. (26 years after she graduated). They have all kinds of stuff about her there.

[@kellymckinney9050]

Her cover of Roy Orbisons "Crying" is amazing. She made him proud! Please react to it. She hits unbelievable notes.

[@marieparsons3507]

Thank you! I love K.D.!!!

[@SnowmanN49]

You have certainly thrilled every Canadian with this song. She sang this at the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver and the audience was captivated. Kathryn Dawn Lang was born in Edmonton, Alberta and raised in Consort, Alberta. One of her early influences was Patsy Cline. Her list of awards includes 4 Grammy's and 6 Juno's, officer of the Order of Canada and the Canadian Music Hall of Fame. For more of her try "Constant Craving" and "Miss Chatelaine". Leonard Cohen, multi-talented, singer/songwriter, poet, novelist. Born in Westmount, a suburb of Montreal. Sadly he passed away in 2016, aged 82, buried in Montreal. A long list of awards including Grammy's and Juno's. Canadian Music Hall Of fame, Canadian Songwriter Hall of fame, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, companion of the Order of Canada and 2 medals from Queen Elizabeth. I am more familiar with his early songs, so I would suggest "Suzanne" and "So Long, Marianne". A later one is "Closing Time".

[@shannon3699]

i'm so glad you guys finally heard this!!

[@jesperry6314]

KD Lang has an amazing voice - I hope you check out more of her music - Constant Craving was her biggest pop hit but she has so much other amazing music. And, please consider checking out the original version of the song by Leonard Cohen.

[@karenward267]

She has such a beautiful voice. It’s a shame that we haven’t heard it for quite a while.

[@victoriaaugust7171]

absolutely must react to K.D Lang’s “Black Coffee”. an AMaZing performance.

[@heyhey1956]

After secondary school, lang attended Red Deer College, where she became fascinated with the life and music of Patsy Cline and decided to pursue a career as a professional singer. She moved to Edmonton after her graduation in 1982 and formed a Patsy Cline tribute band called the Reclines in 1983. This was the 1st KD song I ever heard in 1994 k.d. lang - Trail Of Broken Hearts. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gqqskqyCZcdmpKc

[@EchoesDaBear]

I can never keep a dry eye when I hear KD's version. She puts so much emotion into the words of fellow countryman Leonard Cohen (RIP). She has such a wonderful voice. Others have mentioned, you MUST do her duet with Roy Orbison for Crying. My mom's favourite song by the Big-O!

[@Michael-zv3rq]

Hi,You must listen to Irish priest Father Ray Kelly sing hallelujah at a couple wedding,the faces of congregation is brilliant, amazing

[@brupic8968]

canadian singing a song written by a countryman....best version

[@afergie76]

Please, please, PLEASE do her Constant Craving!!! It’s amazing.

[@danhill5619]

This a song written and released in 1984 by Canadian singer songwriter /poet Leonard Cohen Joe Cocker had a smash with one of his too

[@suzie4417]

KD Lang was from a small town in Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦, she left Consort & formed her band KD Lang & The Reclines…they did cowpunk, rockabilly & Especially sang Roy Orbison, and Patsy Cline songs. She adored both these incredible stars & eventually she met & became friends with Roy O & she performed with him as well as did Crying as a Tribute to Roy after he passed away. She used to wear very country outfits & was renowned for apppearing with bare feet! KD Lang is a beloved Canadian artist 💓☮️🥰 This song was written & performed by Leonard Cohen, a beloved Canadian poet & singer RIP Listen to her covering Patsy Cline & Roy Orbison, she is amazing !

[@h.stephenpaul7810]

This piece was written by Leonard Cohen, but not as a religious hymn. You may have heard it in a church but more likely you heard a cover. It has been covered by many dozens of singers. If you want to explore Cohen a bit more listen to "So Long Marianne" or "Suzanne", two of his early pieces. Also Jennifer Warnes does a fantastic version (duet) with Cohen, of "Joan of Arc". (If you are not familiar with Joan of Arc, read about her before you listen to the song. It will mean so much more.)

[@amandawagner7563]

Constant cravings is her 🎵 🎶 song.

[@mikellanes5262]

She's right she is listen to her

[@tjvertigo]

Iconic cover of this song. You really need to take a few minutes and watch the 2010 Vancouver Olympics live version. Seriously.

[@trishriley9681]

Now watch her sing it at the winter Olympics. Very special.

[@Apeles96707]

Yes “Cryin” there’s a version with and without Roy Orbison. The one with Roy is magical.

[@michaelknight2118]

Her voice gives me the chills, it's so good.

[@joiedevivre2005]

I agree with the others - y'all should check out her version of "Crying". I'd also recommend her hit "Constant Craving" and my personal favorite song of hers, "Barefoot" (when she howls, it sends chills down my spine). She is truly a rare & phenomenal talent.

[@sharonelliott2366]

KD Lang is brilliant. No question. And Leonard Cohen was as well. Before he died, he said that this was now KD's song. It was never meant to be a hymn. He was Jewish for one thing. You should listen to his version!

[@cecileluv]

FYI, Check out her live Winter Olympics version...

[@walterrutherford8321]

I don’t know why but K D Lang always makes me think of another singer, Terri Gibbs. Terri had one song that I know, (perhaps a one hit wonder), but it’s a good one, Somebody’s Knockin’.

[@avelazquezsa]

You need to pay attention to Leonard Cohen, who wrote this and so many other great songs. He is a 60s icon. Don't miss Chelsea Hotel and Marianne, you will absolutely love those and, of course, his own rendition of Hallelujah

[@gertrude4045]

I have not heard a bad version of this song and K.D. Lang is phenomenal. However, the version from Jeff Buckley hits so deep and sets off some really intense emotions that no other version does, it makes me cry every time, so beautiful how he does it

[@michaelcrohn7453]

Yes, you have to hear her doing Cryin’ with Roy Orbison

[@jrepka01]

I came here to talk about Leonard Cohen, the writer and original performer of this song, but James Scully and his commenters have covered that well. It has been covered by many artists over the years. One of the most emotional and popular versions was done by the late Jeff Buckley. The most listened to cover may be Rufus Wainright's version that was featured in the movie "Shrek." K.D.'s cover is up there with those. A lot of folks have reacted to the Pentatonix cover, which in my opinion is too mawkish. I really like Cohen's original a lot, but many don't as his voice is a gravelly baritone and many want the song to have that hymnal quality that it gets when sung in higher registers. Though it contains some biblical references this is most definitely not a religious song about praise, it is about human relationships and several verses refer directly to sexual acts. The repeated "Hallelujah's" are more closely related to shouts of "Oh God!" than to shouts of "Praise God!"

[@terryoreilly9365]

You should also check out some of her life performances. the ones where she is singing with Roy Orbison are just magic videos

[@bamagirl218]

You need to see this live when she’s doing a tribute to Roy Orbison. It will shake you up.

[@derekhall9932]

Check out her unplugged solo version of crying a master class

[@michaelasay8587]

Omg....you guys should have done the live version!!!

[@susieterry2624]

Oh my goodness, Hallelujah is its own rabbit hole - it has been recorded by sooooo many people. I feel like the best loved version comes from Jeff Buckley but there are dozens and dozens of artists who have recorded this song; there's even a top 50 list of artists who have recorded it. I love the Pentatonix version myself but there are a lot of good ones (Jon Bon Jovi is no slouch I gotta say.)

[@revaflowers3115]

Jeff Buckley is my favorite singer of this song.His version is very emotional and raw also.

[@yallvoir]

If you would like listen to what I consider to be kd's best live version, checkout the 2010 Logies (sort of Australia's Grammy's). For sheer emotion see the 2010 Olympic Opening it is in a 60,000+ stadium, filled primarily with athletes from around the world, and unfortunately just hours earlier an athlete, Nodar Kumaritashvili, had a fatal crash in a training accident. The lyrics seemed painfully fitting. If you can't find those try Leonard Cohen's 2008 induction into the Canadian Songwriter's Hall of fame, or the 2006 Juno awards, or the 2017 Leonard Cohen Memorial Tribute. Each is a little different, each is worth hearing.

[@JJKSeattle]

Try KD's 'Constant Craving.' It's her breakout, signature song.

[@JoeHaynie_VJ]

There are tons of great versions of this classic.

[@christopherlundgren3499]

K.D. Lang did this gorgeously. My other favorite version is Rufus Wainwright's

[@michaelland4548]

This song, written by Leonard Cohen, is not really meant to be in a church setting. It's wonderful that Christians have fallen in love with it but it was not the original intent. Many have sung this song, none better that k.d.lang. None. Incredible song, master class performance. Please listen to more of this incredible artist. She is completely underrated.

[@luckyskittles8976]

If you want to hear her reach higher ranges on this song , listen & watch her performance at the opening ceremonies of the Vancouver 2010 Olympics, may have to do this on your own,video sometimes gets blocked for reactors

[@carlbeckman7606]

Just a note here -- what you are calling the "Church" version of Hallelujah was written by Handel's Messiah and release in late 1800 (1876?). The version you are listening to was written by Leonard Cohen and released in 1984. Two completely difference and wonderful songs. Many, many, many artiest have cover Leonard's version. By the way -- I agree with others in the comments that the 2010 Olympics Opening Ceremony is, IMHO, the best version.

[@olanaowen7320]

KD Lang - Constant Craving

[@markoehler2752]

The version of her doing it live at the Olympics is MUCH better! Totally different.

[@robrobertson4619]

Always here about the best female voice, Karen Carpenter, Linda Ronstadt, no argument here, but KD Lang is never mentioned in that conversation. She has one of the most beautiful, pure voices, among female singers !!

[@eraysererayser]

check out K.D.s Live version of this song, as well as live versions of Crying and Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray

[@sylviafarese8837]

I thought y’all had checked her out with Roy Orbison (live) doing CRYIN’ but if you haven’t yet, it’s worth checking out.
