No one should ever be allowed to cover a Roy Orbison song. Except KD Lang. She is allowed to sing any song, any time. Always.

[@edwardpate6128]

I will say that the amazing Linda Ronstadt did a great version of Blue Bayou.

[@kelleychilton2524]

Raul Malo is ever so worthy of covering Roy Orbison. You should watch some of his videos singing Roy's songs, it just as amazing.

[@jtoland2333]

She's one of the most underrated singers of our time. K.D. knows exactly when to belt those notes and when to hold back. That's a lesson a lot of female over singers need to learn. I can 100% believe her heart is breaking.

[@barbaracampbell9907]

Even Roy said she had the best set of pipes ever

[@cherylolsen493]

I agree!!

[@mariangarrett8254VintageDoll]

Absolutely

Chillbumps in places.

Canadian here. Our absolute treasure. She is the best!!!

[@bamagirl218]

You’ve struck gold! Obviously Roy Orbison is the GOATbut hold on to your chairs. Her voice is perfection 💕

[@twentyfiveyears5010]

kd performing "Crying" is one of those rare examples of a cover measuring up to the original masterpiece. And Roy no doubt felt that way if you watch their duet of this song.

[@anthonyboyko3686]

KD is so under rated by the main stream. Only true artists know her pure talent.

[@LinkRocks]

She's well known and has been for years.

[@Joseph-fw6xx]

No she's not she's very popular

[@mannyfran8024]

​@@LinkRocksAnd Rolling Stone left her out of the 200 greatest singers....even further proof how out of touch that publication has become. 😮

[@user-uu8zw6ek8w]

She's Canadian and we know how great she is.

[@Alwayswilling]

No one would ever suggest that I am a true artist,but I've been in love with k.d. music since the early 80s when she was belting out Patsy Clime songs as though they were intentionally written just for her.

[@alanlantz8663]

That last note was ONE BREATH!

[@pamelamccray1170]

Yes, it was amazing!!

[@haroldmachroli7038]

Damn! What a voice. I know this is Roy Orbison's song BUT she sings this like it was written for her to sing. In my mind this is not a cover, it is an absolutely perfect masterpiece of a performance.

[@BethReed62]

KD Lang is a powerhouse. I’m so glad someone requested this song. So many more to go!

[@canaguy]

K D LANG also did amazing singing "Hallejuah" at the close of the Vancouver winter Olympics 2010-2011. One of the greatest songs ever written. She is CANADIAN and the song was from Leonard Cohen, another Canadian.

[@canarsie56]

what do you mean "she"

ABSOLUTELY LOVE that performance

[@davidphillips4476]

She also did this as a duet with Roy....it was stunning. Canada has a treasure....Her "Hallelujah" for the Olympics was legendary!

[@laurakali6522]

I saw her live in a 4800 seat theatre. When she hit the high notes the walls shook. It was unbelievable.

[@debbieplato5107]

KD Lang from Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 She has an amazing voice!

[@tamiw.166]

k.d. is a vocal miracle - her power and control are unmatched. But it's her quiet moments that break me.

[@Aroseisarose15]

Well said. She is a vocal miracle.

k.d. lang is a tremendous talent, and a wonderful human.

[@smallsmalls3889]

KD has a beautiful voice

[@marisagettas]

She’s from Canada! We’re real proud of her up here. Willie Nelson calls her “PIPES” because, as he says ‘she’s got the best pipes in the business’ :)

[@carollittle1059]

Yea, you followed yesterday's Roy Orberson song with Kd Lang version. Her voice is insane!! This was a tribute show and his wife was in the audience. Another great Canadian singer, she shocked country music with her first hit record and openly being Gay.

[@chalmapatterson544]

No offense but her talent stands alone in a class by herself, being gay has nothing to do with it.

[@2eleven48]

@@chalmapatterson544 ...You don't know much about being gay, do you?

[@inekebaalman3320]

His name is Roy Orbison…..

[@stevetournay6103]

k.d. lang (she doesn't capitalize her surname or initials) is one of our national treasures here in Canada, and perhaps the finest pop alto/contralto since Karen Carpenter. As others have suggested, check out her cover of Hallelujah (or anything off Hymns Of The 49th Parallel), and also have a listen to her duo project with Tony Bennett...

[@waynecox3958]

Karen Carpenter was not in this league. Not close.

[@mickdenis6630]

KD was drawn to the great Pasty Cline, she felt that they had a cosmic connection ("Pasty spoke to me spiritually. This deep, deep connection"). She was the reason KD went into country music. In 1988, KD recorded the album Shadowland, with Patsy's iconic producer Owen Bradley. The album is wonderful, full of great tracks. KD also is on youtube performing Pasty's "3 Cigarettes in an Ashtray", it's awesome.

[@wesleygalvin9983]

One of the worlds most extraordinary voices, just perfect. And yes, she deserved that standing ovation. And as already mentioned, Hallelujah in Vancouver is jaw dropping. Love from Australia.

[@Marcus-Oh-really-yes]

In the U.S., her biggest pop hit was "Constant Craving." Amazing voice!

[@normandavidtidiman9918]

Biggest,& probably only real hit in the UK too.

[@trevorbrooks9637]

She even got a writers credit on a Rolling Stones song for that song.

[@surlechapeau]

Shawn & Mel, you'll love K. D.'s "Constant Craving"!!

[@lisatilley8751]

The whole album was amazing!

[@8tomtoms8]

Definitely should do "Constant Craving"..

[@coinsstampsandcollectibles3552]

KD knocks this out of the park, I've watched her perform this song on other YT videos and they are all equally as powerful. She really does this song justice - it gives me goosebumps at the end

[@jolenewitzel7919]

She is so talented and does Roy justice. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@jerrys.999]

The only other female singer that can give me chills like k.d. lang is the great Patsy Cline. Please do more k.d. She covers some great Patsy Cline songs as well……Leavin on your mind, Walkin after midnight, I fall to pieces, etc.

[@js3599]

Now that you have seen both artists, now time to move to the DUET version, with both Roy and K.D... Roy was a K.D fan too. Also, if you want another great K.D. Lang cover, I throw my hat in the ring for Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". I recommend the version she did at the Vancouver Olympics in 2010. It delivers everything this video did, and maybe a bit more... Maybe even a LOT more...

[@raenellefisher8514]

Yes!!! For both suggestions.

[@MyElvis1994]

i agree 100 percent

[@roevega9902]

Constant Craving is a great song. But you will be blown away by Miss Chaterlaine. Seriously

[@rebellibrarian]

Yesssssss!

[@leannewilson7184]

I love K.D. and her version does the song justice. I highly recommend her song “Miss Chatelaine”.

[@marinabrennan7695]

Please, please, please check out KD Lang doing Hallelujah. She does such an incredible job of it!

[@traceymcintire7754]

Since you are such fans of Patsy Cline, I knew that you would also appreciate k.d. lang. She idolized Patsy and began to sing because of her. I saw k.d. perform this song live and the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I too was crying. We were all on our feet before the song was halfway over.

[@joankisloski6972]

Now it's time to hear ROY ORBISON "Crying" w/ K.D. LANG .... AWESOME.

[@dcudmore401]

Best Canuck singer EVER!!!! Love her, Listen to her sing Hallelujah!!!

[@critterwatcher8009]

kd is very underappreciated. You should also hear her do her Joni Mitchell tribute "help me". Or her version of "hallelujah" (esp the one where she sings if for the composer Leonard Cohen when he's inducted into the songwriters hall of fame) or her version of "constant craving" or her version of "helpless" or her version of "so in love". Really any of her songs.

[@TheWilsontm]

OR,OR ,OR….. The list is long and amazing! She is an incredible vocalist and her live performances are as good if not better then her recordings!

[@deborahjoyner6696]

One of the most amazing voices ever!

[@craigmarkowski7156]

I saw her in an interview and she was talking about her stage fright and how crippling it was and that she almost didn't pursue her singing career because of her stage fright and then she told herself that her voice was a gift for God and who was she to not use that gift she had been given , And the rest is history ! She has a very beautiful powerful voice !

[@belkyhernandez8281]

KD knows how to pierce your soul with her voice. I used to have the biggest crush on her.

[@delisamarchetti5926]

She is an amazing singer. Her voice just soars to the clouds. Every song she sings gives me goose bumps.

[@chrisknowles7889]

She is literally one of the greatest singers of all time. With Aretha, Karen Carpenter, Whitney

[@RyderXIV]

Trail of Broken Hearts one of my favorite K.D. Lang songs.

[@RosaGarcia-vr8oc]

K.D. I loved it so much talent

[@tracycartwright3340]

k.d. lang is an awesome talent. What a voice! Check out her hit, "Pullin' Back The Reins" too!! You can really hear the beauty of her tone in it.

[@tinasmallwood9546]

I remember when KD first came on the country scene. She definitely was a powerhouse voice, one of a kind. She didn't actually know how to "fit" into the genre so she would wear hillybilly skirts and clothes that just weren't her. It was tough for her and I think she sort of went her own way. I didn't see her much. HOWEVER, she ALWAYS released wonderful covers of some of the greats - Roy, Patsy and others. Man can this girl sing. LOVE LOVE LOVE her voice.

[@margaretdasilva5493]

Her voice gives me chills.

[@janetf23]

Ever since Constant Craving, (30 years ago!) I've loved k.d. lang, and probably always will.💖🎶✨

[@agentsculder2451]

kd lang has a phenomenal voice. Her biggest hit is Constant Craving, but she is always a great listen.

[@SweetThing]

You said it, and so have I, many times! K. D. Lang's voice is like silk. She is my favorite female singer of all time. Without taking anything away from Roy, I think K.D. does it better. She sounds like an angel. K.D. used to sing with Roy in the past, but she has had her own successful career. You should check out K.D. Lang's hits: "The Consequences of Falling" and "Constant Craving".

[@CharleneRoozRE]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE react to her version of Hallejuah live at the Winter Olympics. Her voice is CRAZY awesome!

[@EgbertWilliams]

That woman is simply amazing.

[@beaeberts3873]

One of the great voices! You should hear her sing Hallelujah.

[@survival7691]

KD is amazing, I think the first time I ever heard her sing was in the movie Dick Tracy with a group called take 6, it was a song called ridin' the rails.

[@tammycraig6531]

If you want to hear her voice at it’s most amazing.. Listen to her song Wash Me Clean with your headphones on!! You’ll never forget it I guarantee you!!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@elizabethwalsh1479]

I was lucky enough to see her in concert three times back in the 80's. Not only does she have an amazing voice, she is funny, and she challenges societal standards in a way that actually made people think rather than get offended!

[@nancysmith38]

An older song of hers that gives me goosies is Pullin Back the Reins. She did an album of covers from the 50’s called Shadowland that is incredible - and had some pop radio hits

[@lindakessler8768]

k.d. is amazing. Love her so much. 👍❤🤙

KD Lang is all kinds of awesome. And when she sings a sad song, she hits you right where it hurts. And it hurts so good.

[@1011moz]

Love KD. Everything she does sounds amazing.

[@bella-xp7qd]

Lang's career received a huge boost when Roy Orbison chose her to record a duet of his standard, "Crying", they won the Grammy Award for Best Country Collaboration with Vocals in 1989. At the end of her performance she raises her arm to Roy in heaven.

[@NYCNibbles]

like a bunch of others have suggested, the live performance of "Hallelujah" at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympic Opening Ceremony is a masterpiece. k.d. has incredible control over her voice, you'll have chills

[@tiana2]

Quick story. First off KD Langs song constant craving is amazing. I got drunk celebrating my sister graduating college. I decided I could sing. (I cannot sing if my life dependent on it) I chose constant craving. Half way through the song I realized what I was doing. My family was laughing and video taped me. Great song. I will just leave it to KD to sing. Lol

[@markmalbone1147]

It may be down the comments but her on Crying MTV Unplugged is even more astonishing than this great performance. I’ve been a fan from early Country music days and her voice is unique and one of the best we have.

[@danilleblanc7487]

She knew Roy. She loved him when she was a kid and got to perform and back up Roy more than once!

[@ziggymarlowe5654]

I agree with some of the other comments. You need to watch her Olympic performance of her covering the song “hallelujah” by Leonard cohen. It’s mint 👌

[@tarafied7322]

Hallelujah has to be the next one of hers that you check out. Absolute perfection. And my favorite song of hers is "I'm Down To My Last Cigarette ," which is probably an uusual choice, but I just love it, probably because it sounds like something Patsy Cline would sing. 😁

[@TangoEliott]

Smart move. Classic. You should listen to many more songs from her. Especially Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. She feels songs and she makes us feel what she does.

[@katherinebosse5706]

Truly, the most overwhelmingly beautiful voice on the planet. I have been a fan for many years…she has never disappointed. The duet with Tony Bennett, “Blue Velvet” is another one to blow your doors off! I always love seeing the two of you, you are a blessing…enjoy your week end! ❤️‍🔥🇨🇦

kd is magical. Others have listed some of her popular hits but dig a little deeper...I'd recommend Lock, Stock & Teardrops or Tears Don't Care Who Cries Them but there is no bad choice, everything she sings is a masterpiece. Happy listening!
