Her voice is so timeless and unique

[@patrickmiller1834]

She won the Grammy for female pop vocalist for this song. She was up against Mariah Carey Gloria Estefan and Amy Grant. Everyone here has a number one except KD Lang. It was a nice top 40 hit the US I love this song still.

[@Dr_Madonna]

Love ‘Miss Chatelaine’

[@mac2920]

Always loved this song. What a voice

[@zanealberto7741]

I love K D Lang!!!!!!! she really is something special! 👍😘💙👊🌷🌸🌺💐🔥🌼lotsa love my gurl😘zane

[@darnell49]

I just feel like K.D. Lang could have had more commercial success, but was blocked from this because of her sexuality and non conforming image. Country wouldn't give her a chance, not much has changed (Lil Nas X). With pop she got a spin but it didn't last because she didn't do the "pop girl" thing.

[@marceltroia9750]

Watch her preform live with Roy Orbison, Crying. She really can sing beautifully

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

One of the most brilliant covers of that gorgeous song that I've ever heard!

[@kendallmonroe5918]

And her cover of Hallelujah omg

[@eh-i1841]

Really good?She’s magnificent!

[@iBENchant]

A voice smooth as silk and sensual. And what a vocal range! I love K D Lang. ♥️

[@JoeyGarcia.]

Oh yeah. She’s got a beautiful voice!!!

[@mickeyhank]

This was the first kd song I heard (and yes, she doesn't capitalize her first name) and I was really taken by the beauty and infectiousness of the melody as I see you were too. I will definitely send you a few more from kd. Your good taste, which I saw from the first time I watched a reaction of yours, Empress, comes through here, not surprisingly. Enjoyed your singing along!

[@brypiot]

I think genre wise k.d. lang was always someone that couldn't be categorized. She got most of her airplay on pop radio. U.S. Country radio would rarely touch her which was probably more to do with her being a lesbian. She is huge in Canada and has an enormous following with us in the LGBT crowd. Oddly enough her earlier strictly country music sound was spectacularly done and production-wise and vocal ability-wise was far superior to a lot of the U.S. country music during the same time...in my opinion.

[@Joelsellers29]

Agreed, I love her song for Dick Tracy!

[@mac2920]

I always thought she was awesome-loved her when she played live on TV-just a great song and singer.

[@WCD199317]

This artist was more know in the alternative radios and the LGBT community, since she was herself a lesbian. This song came at her second album Ingénue in 1992. This song was a major single and her biggest hit, her only top 10 in her native Canada, but was also her only single to enter the US charts and it's reaching the top 40 (reaching n.38). This song was nominated in the Grammys for best pop female vocal performance with Céline Dion, Mariah Carey, Vanessa Williams and Annie Lennox and she winning the Grammy this year for this category. Whitney Houston give her trophy for her when she get up on the stage and received the trophy.

[@EmpressReacts]

Oh wow!

[@IBGECKO]

I've loved this song since the moment I heard it, back when it came out. It just flows so beautifully, and her voice is so smooth and comforting. If memory serves, it won a boatload of awards, too.

[@randybenedict6446]

As usual, Empress,...you nailed this reaction! 🥰

[@EmpressReacts]

Thank u‼️💗

[@petersavieri]

❤️‍🔥 Finally watching this! Glad u loved it. Kathryn Dawn Lang’s voice is the smoothest and most tuneful country/folk/easy listening voice since Patsy Kline and Karen Carpenter. This was her biggest hit, but her work is well worth looking into, even just for the soothing beauty of her voice. She’s also a very witty and intelligent person. Wonderfully humble despite her success, and exquisite gift for song. This song is so important to LGBTQ people. KD was a bravely out gay women since 1992, and this song is about how, for people who are oppressed for who they love, desire is not only felt as lust, but in the darkest times when the world is gaslighting us to feel monstrous and wrong, desire can be like a light of truth. That constant craving beneath our skin that drives us forward and let’s us know that something we feel this deeply and permanently is strong and true enough to withstand the toxic and undermining way we’re often treated. Constant Craving is one of our anthems.

[@kimbaedie]

Love me some K.D.. She really has a strong voice. I also love her version of 'Hallelujah'.😊

[@ramonc1942]

I love that you can dissect the complexity of her voice. I miss hearing from her.

[@lamusiclover2264]

Listen to her version of "Hallelujah". It is the best!!! One of the most beautiful voices on the earth.

[@sirex02]

The female Elvis. She's that dude ....amazing voice!

[@-TheOracle-]

Oh muy gawd, you really need to be noticed by Hollywood to do comedy movies! "Fire Pit! " You so crazy, gurl!

[@EmpressReacts]

😂from your lips to their desk 😂

[@-TheOracle-]

@@EmpressReacts , dear, I am just a humble old man. I so wish for you that I could. Just don't hope they make me get on my knees with my lips under that desk for you. Youz going to have to pull that one off. 😂 Be blessed sweetie! Love yah!

[@elizabethschubert7803]

My favorite vocalist. This song is heart wrenching poetic wisdom at its finest. The story of life perfectly synopsized. I remember hearing it from my childhood and then again many times in college when I re-discovered it. She was highly regarded by Roy Orbison, Bonnie Raitt, etc. ... a lot of old school legends. She also had a very controversial magazine cover in the early 90’s with Cindy Crawford that’s worth googling! She’s got some other great songs I hope get requested. Another great reaction, Empress!

[@blancheslanai4663]

wow! now this is a great song

[@jogeybones]

Great song, my mum always sang it as “can’t stand gravy” and that’s what I always hear 😂

[@UESide]

She’s a 90s crooner. She’s awesome

[@SaverioP]

Not a big, K D Lang fan, but this particular song ranks in my top 5 all time favorites. It's the kind of song that makes you wish you could sing the lead AND the harmonies all at the same time.

[@joshuas8258]

She performed at a charity event I attended years ago and I was blown away by her voice. I’ve seen Mariah, Adele, Aretha, X-tina and some of the greatest singers and was stunned how well K.D could SING

[@JohnJohn-xw8kj]

Since you are doing the Madonna Journey during the 90s the tabloid always said she was dating Madonna and during that time they never denied it.

[@muse9050]

Empress! Love this.. KD LANG is an incredible vocalist... Listen to her unplugged solo version of Crying..either Unplugged or at The Concert of Hope(Aids benefit) To see just what we mean.. Or Hallelujah.. The Valley or Love Is Everything. There is, an incredible version of patsy Cline's Three Cigarettes in An Ashtray.. Live in Sydney or Johnny Carson.. She can belt xx I think she is one of the best vocalists alive today x

[@graphiquejack]

k.d. (she insisted her name be spelled in lower case) is a Canadian lesbian ICON! Her voice is among the greats. She started off as a quirky country act with a power voice and her band, but her solo stuff went more mainstream adult contemporary/pop/rock. Her voice though kept it in the country lane, though. 'Crying', as others have mentioned, is fab. I really love her older stuff like 'Angel with a Lariat' as well.

[@marcuswood5975]

This chick has a voice as big as the Grand Canyon

[@kendallmonroe5918]

Please please PLEASE react to her cover of Hallelujah.... P.s- your nails look amazing!!!

[@saraeastman40]

Great reaction! KD Lange is awesome. Pulling back the reins is also a cool song

[@stephenulmer3781]

Good song Empress!

[@jasonstrader3942]

I absolutely love this song. It brings back a lot of memories from my time in Charleston, South Carolina.

[@lamusiclover2264]

Pitch perfecxt always and on the album the backgrounds are done by her. She started a s a country singer with wacky songs but really wanted to do more. You can't really classify her music. It combines country, folk, pop, r&B and jazz. Can't label it.

[@ms.chuckfu1088]

I’ve been listening to kd since early days. What a voice. Newer Canadian singer songwriter with a great voice is Faouzia. You should check her out. Different voice than kd, but very precise too.

[@michele3314]

If you liked this, check out the video for "If I were you" from her All You Can Eat album. Sublime and she has such a way of expressing herself.

[@DanCrowleyNYC]

I love love love this song that doesn't really fall into any genre. I'm not even mad that it basically lifts the chorus melody from the semi-forgotten disco song Midnight Love Affair by Carol Douglas. I love both songs, but k.d.'s voice is so good, she can elevate anything. Great song.

[@ernestgutierrez6428]

The music video is fantastic. I love her voice

[@troopersjp]

So this album was her 5th album. It was the album she made after she was pushed out of country. I think she called this "Lounge-core"...though I supposed the industry would label her adult contemporary from this album onward. You should definitely check out some of her earlier country music. Her first two albums she called "cowpunk." (the indie album "A Truly Western Experience" and her first major label album "Angel with a Lariat"). Her third album she worked with Owen Bradley, who was Patsy Cline's producer, and was really going for a countrypolitan, country crooner, Patsy Cline sound--the country industry really loved at that point. Then her fourth album, Absolute Torch and Twang, is phenomenal. She left Nashville and recorded it in Canada and tried to incorporate some Candadian country influences...and the country industry got super upset that she was clearly at....vegetarian. At least that's what they said. She left country after that and did the album ingenue--which was the album "Constant Craving" was on. But I'd definitely recommend two songs off of "Absolute Torch and Twang" if you want to get her at the best of her country moments: "Pulling Back the Reigns" and "Trail of Broken Hearts." Those two have some powerhouse vocals for sure.

[@brianmidthun2914]

I think she was going for a crooner vibe. Check out Miss Chataliene.

[@tizianotorcasio6046]

Wow!!! Very nice song and she has an amazing voice. I don't know what kind of music is this, but I like It so much!!!

[@jonchields561]

this song was a smash

[@marcuswood5975]

It falls under the goodness genre

[@HaydenYouTube]

I think Darnell hits it on the head below about KD's success in music. Glad you like this one. I'm 2 out of 4 10s across the board for April! :-) Definitely a song I always want to (try to) sing along with!!

[@jareds2273]

Ahem.... so I did this song in drag once (fundraiser) with a basket full of Twinkees, Fruit snacks and bananas..... good times. But this is the best KD song out there. And I am aware that snacks are not what she was Constantly Craving.

[@floydshambles]

i'd call it country soul

[@theKarstenR]

Yeah, this song and her voice are really really beautiful. Too bad you missed out on the amazing music video, though.

[@UESide]

This nails tho

[@Joelsellers29]

So robust.
