KD Lang - Crying | First Reaction

[@acmcbride-olson9320]

Wow. I loved the Roy Orbison version. I’ve liked other covers. But this one? WOWZERS. 🥰

[@greeneyedlady5580]

If you haven't heard her Crying duet with Orbison, check it out. I can pretty much promise that you'll love it.

[@esthervineyard9568]

As a 73 year old woman I loved this song when Roy Orbison made it a hit but when I heard KD' s rendition it blew me away. Thanks!

[@greeneyedlady5580]

In my opinion, their duet performance of Crying is the very best performance of it.

[@waltkimballjr5133]

Johnny Ray did it first early 60's

[@dianer.9203]

Same

[@willieallan953]

Same here, and a 73 year old woman and Canadian to boot!

[@Jordygal]

Pitch perfect. Brilliant. So underrated. Best Canadian female singer ever. Love her.

[@jacquelineambler8437]

While I like those other women I have to agree that KD is the best Canadian female singer ever! ❤

[@mosesanahory4485]

[@JoolyBoolyKC]

I wouldn't restrict that to just Canadian singer. Her range, her vocalization, her passion...it's just gob smacking. Saw her twice live and I'd see her again if given the chance. I'm just sorry she's not out there any more.

[@greeneyedlady5580]

​@@KColes63Those other women are good, and some would even call a number of them great, but none of them has the sheer vocal power to infuse a song with passion the way K. D. does. Audiences don't just hear her music, they feel it.

[@crabbypanda]

one of the greatest singers of all time.

[@simplyplaid]

KD is amongst a very ,very few vocalists that have perfect pitch, incredible range and control. Ive been following her from the start of her career and she is certainly one of the best vocalists I have ever heard.

[@greeneyedlady5580]

She's THE BEST that I've ever heard, although I don't think this performance was one of her best.

[@YesItsMeGuys68]

KD Lane is perhaps one of the top three vocalist of our lifetime

[@greeneyedlady5580]

*Lang, and I agree.

[@Joe-ew5rt]

Her voice is Sooo smooth & elegant. And what a range.

[@lightatthecape2009]

She sang this at the tribute for Roy Orbison...on request of the family and it was truly incredible...

[@GreggOliverBass]

Roy is who i think of when i hear KD... they are on a special level together.

[@kelleewolfe2834]

And that has to be the highest possible compliment. He was amazing.

[@lanawalton5599]

Since you liked her singing you should find the video of her singing at the award show in Alulstalia singing Hallelujah her voice is amazing

[@RebeccaGogovcev]

He needs to listen to Roy Orbison.

[@diannemarchese4808]

The absolute clarity and purity of her voice puts today’s artists to absolute shame. No autotune. Just a miraculous gift channeled directly from the depths of the universe. All of creation sits in her vocal chords and breath.

[@GonRogue-85]

Her voice is a God given gift.

[@lydiahernandez4700]

Well said .

[@patsyeckert9822]

Bravo!! What a voice!

[@pampeterson3666]

Love your show. KD Lang is one of my favorites

[@Vinniegret]

LOL, vocal cords. Easy mistake to make about KD. I made the same mistake on an anatomy exam, because I play a little music.

[@ronlangill8689]

That last long "over you" in one breath with ease ....

[@guywill7875]

She has a voice that is ethereal. To have that ability to capture that level of heartache from Roy Oberson's classic but then sign her own name to it is unbelievable.

[@janetgorman3690]

MY god, I love this so much......been a fan of KD Lang for over 30 years.....her voice is transcendent.....no words

[@teretori8878]

Her version of Hallelujah at the Vancouver Olympics was nothing short of beautiful ❤

[@Maggy47]

You don't have to be gay to love kd lang ❤❤ Awesome voice pitch perfect 🥰

[@TheBarmbrackthecat]

Who said you did?

[@dominusstyx]

@@TheBarmbrackthecat Yeah, what a useless point she made.

[@Lily-fromOz]

KD Lang could sing her shopping list and I’d listen. ♥️

[@mysticmimaw]

Me too!!❤

[@noniousxltruffles7454]

Or the phone book!

[@HorrifyingHistory]

KD Lang doesn’t just sing a song. She tells a story. She is an amazing Canadian treasure.

[@shartmann2008]

K.D. Lang is covering Roy Orbisons Crying...rarely does someone do an original justice....his is powerful, hers is divine.

[@jeanettekermaninejad5165]

You should listen to Roy Orbison’ rendition. It’s his song.

[@martinbynion1589]

It's k d lang, actually.

[@reader4111]

ABSOLUTELY!!! A MUST!! And I'm a huge kd fan!!!​@@jeanettekermaninejad5165

[@carolmanning1333]

​@@jeanettekermaninejad5165It is his song. She sang it correctly and powerfully. Such a respectable tribute tribute

[@greeneyedlady5580]

​@@jeanettekermaninejad5165 The highest possible compliment was Orbison asking Lang to do a duet of Crying with him. Obviously he was (rightly) impressed with her version of it. After Roy died, the family asked her to perform crying at his tribute.

[@mamaalaska]

Katy Lang is from Canada. This is a cover song of Roy Oberson‘s crying. She was the first openly lesbian singer to ever hit it big in America in the early 1990s. She has a lovely voice the music industry wasn’t kind to her. I remember when she came onto the sceneand she took old standards that my generation grew up and loved and put her touch to them, reviving our memories and keeping alive and entire generation of music for the younger generation. She has my utmost respect. Always will.

[@roxanaheath8098]

I so agree.

[@georgesheffield1580]

She started in C&W but was not respected . She kep trying and doesn't have to look back . Keep singing KD LANG !

[@TheOnespeedbiker]

More than just a cover, KD Lang got her first big break in CW when Roy Orbison sought her out to sing a duet on one of his signature songs (Crying) in 1989. While her alternative lifestyle (came out as lesbian in 1989) was problematic to some CW fans at the time, in 1990 she still won the Grammy for Best Female Country vocalist and in 2002 was ranked No. 26 on CMT's 40 Greatest Women in Country Music.

[@karendavis2668]

I remember my dad enjoying her music. ❤

[@sharonbrown6595]

She is a fantastic singer. Not only did she come out as gay and got a lot of backlash. Then she made a huge campaign about animal rights about “meat stinks “. Anyone from Canada knows Alberta is a the province known for a lot of cattle ranching and this didn’t go over well. I felt for her but I also felt she had a right to stick up for her opinions thoughts and feelings. Now both being gay and anti meat consumption is not a issue but it was rough times for her for a while

[@LindaLundstrom]

KD Lang is a Canadian National Treasure.

[@sagebrush4613]

ABSOLUTELY 🇨🇦

KD Langs voice is just unbelievable. One of the best female voices I have ever heard. I love her :D

[@barneyrubble9309]

To any budding female singers, THIS is how you sing emotions without the need to wale your head off. A true gem of a voice.

[@Gwennedd]

Bingo!! She's a contralto like Cher, Karen Carpenter and Annie Lennox. She has a lovely smooth, rich vocal tone that equals Karen Carpenter's and knows just how to imbue emotions into a piece with subtle phrasing, and building as well as using her face and body to convey what she feels.

[@DaVinci368]

Well said!!!👍👍

[@katcoo50]

100%

[@Honest_cheater]

Yeah…tell beyonce please.

[@carolmanning1333]

K D Lang has a great voice, but her face and body do her no favors.​@@Gwennedd

[@stevidawson7348]

KD putting her vocal excellence on display with this song is incredible. You should hear her "Hallelujah" it is equally amazing.

[@greeneyedlady5580]

Correction, her performance of Hallelujah is FAR more amazing. It is breathtaking.

[@kaycamille1544]

This woman is one of the finest singers in the world in my opinion. And not just her voice. Her style , her performance and her instinctive ability to portray emotion is captivating and mesmerising. . The guy hit the nail on the head with his reaction. K D is the epitome of of class.

[@traceygrace7945]

Her breathe control is off the scale!

[@KDChaly]

gives me goosebumps every time!! She doesn't get nearly the recognition she should. No gimmicks, no autotune, just pure and raw talent

[@dominusstyx]

...because, in other words, she's not hollywood by-product. She's not showing her tits, ass or being obscene. She's a true artist.

[@clairewyndham1971]

She has a voice that attaches itself to my soul.

[@cynthiamurphy2003]

Her voice inspires the desire to say something profound. It’s beyond beautiful.

[@Ann12681]

She was Tony Bennett’s favorite singer of this generation.

[@catgir5x]

Love KD..I am from Alberta Canada where she was born...her voice always gives me chills ..thanks

[@thejorgeee]

Johnny Carson LOVED her. Brought him to tears more then once. He told her that she had an open invitation to come on his show whenever she wanted. I don't think he did that for many...if any...other singer. Another Canadian Talent. We're small but we turn out a lot of great music.I'm just saying! :)

[@andrewpereira9271]

There are a lot of great entertainers from Canada . . . but I'm not sure any of 'em top the Trailer Park Boys. Any country with a government that provides some of the funding for that show, has got to be one of greatest countries ever.

[@allandarling2930]

KD was one of Roy Orbison's back up singers. We Canadians have enjoyed her talent for years. GO KD!!

I'm my opinion, their duet is the very best version of Crying.

[@cbrashsorensen]

@@greeneyedlady5580 It is beautiful.

[@alexamcdonald4374]

It just occurred to me that I can't imagine she gets anywhere near the credit she deserves for her beautiful vocals and her range.

[@AP-gb3eh]

She may be the last of the great Torch Singers . She emotes the music , interpreting it differently all the time. A powerful vocalist but she takes us on a journey throughout the song. Her version of So in Love leaves me in tears . This is a Roy Orbison classic- A Beloved Artist

[@alisonfairchild-wf7pl]

[@jeanjoyce3362]

Love, love. Love KD Lang!! Thanks for introducing her to new generation! I would love to see her again!

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

My favorite rendition of K.D. singing 'Crying'. In this performance she gives me the feeling of someone with a broken heart trying to hold it together only to break out in wails of anguish when the memory becomes to much to bear. Lang's duet with Roy Orbison of 'Crying' is good, she holds back some to let Roy have the spotlight. I agree with other's here that "Constant Craving" is a must hear.

[@mommabodsalwaysright4509]

Constant craving is one of my favorite of her songs. I was a fan of hers way back in the 90’s.. maybe even earlier!! I don’t recall when her first albums hit the waves… but I played them often.

[@dahuffy]

I loved her Roy Orbison tribute version

[@rubyrivers6917]

I agree @ziggymarlowe5654 that when KD and Roy Orbison sang "Crying" as a duet, she had held back, out of respect of course. After years had passed, with the advancements of technology, computers, the WWW, PC's, social sites offering more and more options on watching, and or listening, to music, different artists, broadcasts, podcasts stations, channels, then finally online venues of being able to listen and watch all different kinds of music genres and eras as well!! I was blown away when I saw this performance online shown on KZbin, with KD singing "Crying" solo!! This tribute to Roy Orbison was very well thought out and the best choices made, the song and singer was 💯% spot on! I don't know if this tribute was televised/broadcast- when it was made? I think someone in the comments said 1996?, anyhow, I never saw this if it was on TV. 😢 Just here on KZbin. Stunning, mesmerizing, emotional, powerfully charged performance!! Wow wow wow! Blown away...

You get it, Polo. The appreciation and awe you felt listening to k.d. was heartwarming. Her voice is spiritual perfection. Chills. Transporting me to a beautiful place. I’ve seen k.d. 20 times in concert, and I always leave uplifted …and charmed.

[@doloresschultz6804]

Kd is one of a kind - amazing talent and humble: an unusual combination. Her breathing control would creat envy in a swimmer.❤ Suggest you listen to Ella Fitzgerald sing “misty” and Sarah Vaughn sing almost anything. Two of the greats pre sixties, but Classics never die.❤
