kd lang's performance of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah" at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame induction of Leonard Cohen in 2006. Be sure to watch the entire performance. Leonard is in the audience. I hope you will watch Leonard's induction as well, which I also posted.

She is a true Canadian treasure! If I didn't know better, I would swear that Leonard Cohen wrote this song specifically for her to sing. I have listened to this dozens of times and I have cried each and every time.❤ ❤

After hearing KD Lang perform that song [Hallelujah] at the Canadian Songwriter’s Hall of Fame in 2006 we [Leonard Cohen & I] looked at each other and said, “Well, I think we can lay that song to rest now! It’s really been done to its ultimate blissful state of perfection.” Anjani Thomas

BEST version of this song I have ever heard….it is a song that IMHO someone has to LIVE in order to be able to really sing it. That’s why younger singers can’t do it justice. KD Lang such an underrated singer who outshines everyone every time. As another commenter said: the phrasing, the volume, pitch…just perfection.

I truly cannot hear KD sing this enough! It certainly comes from the very depth of her soul, with feeling and emotion in every note!!!! So very proud to share my Canadian, Cree and Irish heritage with her and that the great Leonard Cohen was assured that his amazing song would live forever, with it's true intention of pain and loss in love, in KD's rendition! So many others cut out some of the verses to make it more PC I suppose, but what an insult to the brilliant composer........Cohen is on record, saying that "KD OWNS this song, no one can touch her!" Thank you KD for sharing your amazing gift, without all the glitz, glamour and sexualization that is a major component of so many other "artists" today........truly, your voice and emotion are gifts from God and can stand alone to capture the hearts of those all who have listened! Chills and tears my sister, your voice truly is perfection!!! 🇨🇦❤️

It's hard to not tear up watching this. There's so many reasons for it to hit you. This song really was always so beautiful and haunting to me. It's so easy to see why it's been covered so many times. This song is almost perfect. It's so moving and I've always felt that KD Lang covers this song best. She puts a lot of emotion in each and every line of Hallelujah. She's performed this song so many times and each time she does the song justice. I had no idea she had once performed it to Leonard Cohen. Her reaction when he tells her he liked the song really tugs on my heart strings hard. Thank you for posting this back in 2009.

***** You're not one to understand the concept of personal opinion, are you? That means that laura millard has her own personal opinion as it pertains to KD Lang and Barbara Streisand and her opinion is perfectly valid. It's not up for debate because she feels the way she feels and because she has her own taste in music and artists, which may be unlike yours. That's what's fair, so I don't understand why people like you have to come along and question other people like you did. Just because you think KD Lang is the bomb and can sing no wrong doesn't mean that everyone else does. Can't you just respect that she has her own likes and dislikes, must she defend herself for it?

The piano he's playing on also adds a rich sound that can't be compared to any other. I think the two of them pull this song together better than either of them alone could have.

There has always been people that want to talk about the controversy surrounding this person or that, and KD Lang is one of those targets. Ever notice that it brings out the best and worst of us? Lang is as gifted as best of the best. I could sit and listen to this for hours and walk as a better PERSON to have understood the gifts of life and God. I pity the sour, dour, and petty grinches that shrivel their way through life and don't understand beauty or life or fulfillment. Your hearts are hard and your lives are miserable. These are the things I ponder when I enrich my life with incredibly uplifting music. Thank you KD Lang.

I was on a bus today that was being battered by the storm force winds, travelling ten miles to work.... the bus was all over the place.... this song was features on Desert Island Discs I was listening to on my drb on my way in to work..... Watching the sea pound up against the shore ( A55 is a coast road), the bus being blown all over the road.... this song being on the radio made it all a little surreal.........Awesome song and performance.
