KD sang Cryin’ as a tribute to Roy Orbison! Chills! Just stunning!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Will add that one to my list. Thanks.

[@itzel1735]

kd lang is the only singer I listen to do this song anymore. I think this secular interpretation might have been Leonard Cohen’s favorite. She sang it at his induction to the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame and at the tribute concert on the 1 year anniversary of Cohen’s death. Thanks for reacting.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Very powerful rendition.

[@edwardlongshanks827]

My understanding is that the organizers asked Leonard Cohen perform it and he told them to get k.d. lang to sing it.

[@cindiheslin6782]

I saw her at the Hollywood Bowl and the show was amazing but this song was other worldly.

[@paulcooper9135]

When a voice can silence that many people ... As a fellow Canadian, K.D. Lang is an icon!

[@jonathansayson7784]

Thank you for reviewing this stellar Canadian singer. This is my favourite rendition and it really moves me. K D Lang is a national treasure. Please check out her other work. You will not be disappointed.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Definitely need to hear more! This was so powerful!

[@operadad]

Leonard Cohen asked ppl to stop recording this song after kd's version saying it is the quintessential one. I was lucky enough to be there that night and what made it even more emotional was the death of a luge athlete earlier that day. kd lang is the truth and Tony Bennett called her the greatest singer that ever lived.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Wow! That is incredible!

[@terrieb13]

kd lang is amazing! Her version of this is my favorite. ❤️ She has an amazing performance of this from the Canada JUNO awards. Brilliant! You must check out more of her! Thanks for another great reaction. ☮️❤️😎

[@SaeedReacts.]

This rendition really hit me hard. Wow. Powerful. Thanks for watching.

[@debbieplato5107]

kd Lang has the most amazing voice! Her rendition of this song is my favourite. Her tribute performance of Crying to Roy Orbison is also stunning.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Definitely want to check that one out as well. Thanks.

[@jenniferpickering7808]

She is the best with this song...bar none!!

[@joannesmith7042]

I am so glad you have reacted to kd lang.. not enough reactors have found her… she is the best female singer of my generation… saw her perform many times …here in Perth Western Australia …in her prime… so please please react to more live videos … her voice and breath control is perfect ..before auto tuning..pure pure kd all the way…

[@SaeedReacts.]

Definitely want to check out more of her performances. This one was so powerful.

[@user-yh1ft9gi2g]

I never heard of her until a month ago when I saw her sing this at the Canadian Olympics on You Tube and then even better at the Australian Lang awards. That was unbelievable. I just love her. Check out her duet singing "Crying" with Orbison. Leonard said after hearing her singing this that she now owned the song.

[@doughaviland1729]

CONSTANT CRAVING and CRYING are EPIC!

[@itzel1735]

kd is best known for 1992’s “Constant Craving”, which was her biggest selling song. She had previously won Grammies for her 1989 duet with Roy Orbison on a rerelease of “Crying”, and her performance on the country album ‘Absolute Torch and Twang’. Very quirky in the early days of her career. She came out as gay, after her ‘Ingenue’ album, which included “Constant Craving”. The surrounding controversy got her banned from a number of US radio stations.

[@SaeedReacts.]

I must check out some of her other music. Love this performance.

[@itzel1735]

@@SaeedReacts. Her solos of “Crying” are good. If you can find her performance at Roy Orbison’s tribute, it’s powerful. Roy’s wife asked kd to sing it at his induction to the Songwriters Hall of Fame after he had passed. She’s actually got a co-writing credit with The Rolling Stones. Keith Richards unconsciously lifted a part of the “Constant Craving” melody likely because his daughter was listening to it in the house.

[@jeanearle2350]

Kd was singing to God that day. As one empath to another, i was so glad to see someone who really felt this song the way I did. I watched her on tv that day amazed but not surprised to see her wow the whole world with that voice. I am a Canadian and recognize her as the national treasure she is. Her song list is extensive, covering everything from Roy Orbisons Crying to her fabulous Constant Craving. Hope you dive a little deeper into her music. She is just wonderful! Bucket list hope is to see her in concert one day before I die. Love KD Lang to pieces!

[@SaeedReacts.]

Hope you get to see her one day 🤞

[@orlylivne]

Amazing rendition and voice . Hallelujah ! No need to add words . Great reaction and yes, what you mentioned makes sense

[@SaeedReacts.]

So powerful. Thanks so much for watching. Have a wonderful day, Orly.

[@tahoebabe8939]

She also did this beautiful song at a awards show in Canada and she was barefoot & it was amazing. Bon Jovi also did a live version of this on MTV Unplugged was also fantastic.

[@catherineday951]

She was barefoot in this performance too.

[@davegrosmann585]

I've been listening to K.D. Lang for I don't know how many years!! There's nobody on the planet that can sing like her. She' s one in a BILLION!!!! And, by the way, I don't think she owns a pair of shoes. But, she doesn't need them!!!!!

[@SaeedReacts.]

This was a powerful performance. Definitely want to hear more of her music.

[@celinel9750]

The Canadien Olympic commity ask Cohen to do that song and he said nop, ask KD to do it, it's her's now. I saw an entreview wher she explain that she studied the song, and never failed for the religious meaning of that song, she was convince that it was a love story, wich Cohen confirmed. After her interpretation on the JUNO in 2007(Canadien music award) he said that she truely carry the spirit of that song. He explained that ''making love is probably the closes to God you can get: Hallelujah''

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for sharing that story. Amazing!

[@lindsaycrellin4588]

New subscriber here ❤ glad you have discovered k d lang she is amazing the late great Roy Orbison asked her to duet on his song Crying for a film, when he passed away the family gave her the song her version at the tribute for Roy or her MTV Unplugged versions are stunning if you would like to react to her early ‘Cowpunk’ country phase as someone else said she was quirky but so much fun, Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray (a Patsy Cline cover) Bopalena, Turn Me Round, Big Boned Gal just a few suggestions x

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much for subscribing and for the recommendations. Will add these to my list. Have a wonderful day.

[@396Cap]

Your reaction was great. You are very intuitive. Thank you.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much! ❤️ Have a wonderful day.

[@joyvanderveer2282]

I had forgotten how beautifully she had performed that song. I felt it all over again. Wow that was so different but beautiful! I loved it.

[@SaeedReacts.]

So powerful. Love it too. Thanks for watching.

[@bigfanfromIdaho]

Pentatonix is still my favorite version of Hallelujah but this is absolutely beautiful. I also love her version of Crying in the MTV Unplugged tribute to Roy Orbison. So emotional and moving.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Definitely want to check that out. A few people suggested this. Thanks so much for watching.

[@patriciacanadiansenior8130]

Very proud of our k.d.! born in the same province as I was.......Alberta, Canada. ...

[@SaeedReacts.]

So good! This might be my favorite version i ever heard.

[@patriciacanadiansenior8130]

@@SaeedReacts. Mine too, without doubt. She has a fantastic voice, & whatever she sings is world class.

[@willcambeul6172]

@@SaeedReacts. I hate nearly every version of this song. Too many warblers and screamers have overdone it and ruined it and only 2 other Canadians have done justice to the Canadian master's original. After Mr Cohen, (who I met, in London back in the late 60s) this is so good and captures the mood of the song. Then there's Rufus Wainwright's version. Other than those you can keep the rest. It helps that I've loved KD's work, since she started out. As for Rufus - born in New York but raised in Canada, in quite a musical family - the McGarrigles and the Wainwrights.

[@jwychau]

master

[@shonastewart7943]

If you want to see a very different kd lang, she also performed at the 1988 Calgary Winter Olympics. She had the athletes partying.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Definitely want to hear more. Loved this performance. Thanks for watching.

[@ramonaschotte7140]

Tolle Reaktion ❤️ ich gebe Dir voll und ganz recht, egal wie oft und von wem dieses Lied vorgetragen wird, es hinterlässt immer einen anderen Eindruck und das ist für mich der Zauber von Musik 😊

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks so much. Music is really magical ❤️

[@catherineday951]

kd is amazing...no matter what she sings. Another fantastic cover by her is her MTV Unplugged version of Crying. (Don't ignore her original work though.p!)

[@PBW891]

An athlete had lost his life in bobsled trails that day and I think the performance of this song was just what the lord intended too settle the emotions of the day.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Oh, did not know that. So much power and emotion in this song.

[@oskarobit]

Songwriting? If a songwriter deserve a Nobel Prize, that was Leonard Cohen and not Bob Nasal Dylan. My options without too much thinking: The Year Of The Cat - Al Steward (with Alan Parsons producing) Vincent - Don McLean American Pie - Don McLean The Load Out/Stay - Jackson Brown Bernie Taupin (Elton John) Prince (songwriter, music writer, multi instrumentalist, ultra wide range singer, producer, sound engineer...

[@keanlange12]

If you liked this song, you should go down the KD Lang rabbit hole, old and new. Kean

[@SaeedReacts.]

Definitely want to explore more. Thanks for watching, Kean!

[@suemontague3151]

Myles Kennedy does a brilliant rendition of Hallelujah

[@SaeedReacts.]

Will add that one to my list. Thanks.

[@patsyelias8732]

Listen to David Draiman do Sounds of Silence on Conan.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Thanks for the recommendation.

[@MultiCappie]

If you're looking for something else from k d, try "My Old Addiction". I think it's better than Hallelujah.

[@SaeedReacts.]

Will add this one to my list. Thanks!

[@brianfagan3367]

Kd lang is the best imo but Allie Sherlock and 12 Yr old Fionn Whelan recent cover is up there with the best imo

[@SaeedReacts.]

Havent heard that one yet.
