For my money, kd Lang is the greatest voice of my generation. A singular talent.

The very best version of k.d. singing “ Crying “ was after Roy Orbison passing. She was asked to sing it at a star studded, memorial tribute to Roy . She brought the house down and I still get goosebumps just thinking of it.

KD Lang is a singular talent who’s voice flies! I don’t know any other way to describe it it’s so expressive and emotive.

A phenomenal talent. She actually performed this song with Roy a number of times and thankfully there are recorded versions. This version was in tribute after he passed. Remarkable. Btw its incredible to get a standing ovation but even more rare to get a mid song ovation.

One of the greats, and arguably one of the most talented Canadian artists of all time. ⭐️

I love when she lets her voice off the leash like that!

she did a fantastic job. That part you mentioned gave me chills. Roy had such a distinctive voice and I loved listening to him. KD's version is the only cover that I feel does it perfectly

So...I'm at the Roy Orbison concert at the New Orleans World Expo in 1984 and he starts singing Crying. A young tenor boy walks on stage and accompanies him. Well, it was K.D. Know one knew who she was and she was dressed like a guy. The song was magical.

Roy had a multi octave ranges in his voice and made it very hard to do what he did in his songs. k.d. is one of the few that could. Not bad for a farm girl from Canada. She is a major voice in the world.

Het voice is smooth as butter. It all looks so effortless. Mindblowing.

KD has completely owned this song since the great Roy Orbison's passing. No one even comes close

Oh my Harri, love K.D. Unfortunately she is not reacted to as often as she should be. Please more K.D. and thank you Debbie for requesting it.

Beautiful tribute to Roy

isn't she wonderful? I have been a fan for years-her MTV unplugged performance is legend

please watch her live singing Hallelujah, very moving. thank you Harri for recognizing Canadian Talent. xo

One of the finest vocal statements of life ,done well by one other ,Roy.She’s a class act.

I saw this live. Earth moving!

love it, love her. KD Lang is an excellent singer. peace and love from CANADA

She was once a backing singer for the great man (Roy Orbison) himself and can be seen on the Black and White Night performance. K D has an amazing voice and should have risen much higher than she has.

Katie Lang never died her hair! I've been watching her for years and years and years and that's her hair color at this time. She was one of the most magnificent singers I've ever heard. So glad you got to hear her magnificence. You look so happy watching this.

That was phenomenal. I love her version of Hallelujah. Everyone always wants the Olympics performance but I favor the Juno Awards performance in Winnipeg in 2004.

Back in the early mid 80's, I went to a car show here in San Antonio, and there was going to be some musical entertainment. I went for the cars, so I really didn't know who was going to sing. They announcer that Roy Orbison was about to perform. It was a small platform of a stage, and we were several feet away. Roy came out and performed all his hits, and it was an amazing show. Then when he left the stage, on came Johnny Rivers and sang all his hits. Both singers were amazing I we got to see them both for the price of a ticket to a car show. His career was at a low point and he was doing car show to pay the bills. Little did he know that a few years later he would get together with George Harrison and form The Traveling Wilburys, then release a new album, and his career would be at an all time high. Thank you God for helping Roy get back to the top before his passing. RIP Roy.

You must hear her version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah. Best ever version.

Similarly, Leonard Cohen agreed with his partner that kd lang’s was the best version of his song “Hallelujah”. She sang it at his Hall of Fame induction and again as his memorial.

I always loved her voice. It’s so strong and rich.

kd's voice is so powerful and full of emotion. I've heard her many many times but she still gives me chills.

She's an amazing artist (imported from Canada) and the true love she puts into her craft is overwhelming to everyone who is blessed to hear it.

Canada does it again, gives another gifted singer with a majestic voice. A crooner, too. So much talent from the land of maple leafs, ehhh!

Very good cover. KD & Linda Ronstadt are one of the few that can do justice to a Roy Orbison cover.

God I'm in tears. KD. Is truly the best. 🇮🇪💚

She is fantastic.Shes been one of my favorites for a very long time

Just beautiful

KD is incredible and adored Roy! ❤❤

Her singing All I Need is the Air That I Breathe is another.

Roy Orbison was one of my father's favorite singers. Every time I hear a Roy Orbison song, it reminds me of my father who we lost 5yrs ago.

I could listen to her voice all day. My favorite version of this song is the duet with Roy and K D.

I love her!!! When I hear her singing this song It brings tears to my eyes! I get chills! I could listen to her all day! What a voice! She's the best!

KD’s recording of this song (a duet with Roy) is truly amazing, their voices compliment each other perfectly. Roy’s final studio album (Mystery Girl) is nothing short of perfection, it’s quite possibly his best ever work. I bought the CD when it was first released, and immediately I was transported to a higher level of Orbison bliss. You could do a lot worse than reacting to that entire album Harri. One of my favourite songs on the record is “A Love So Beautiful” , Roy’s voice is surely at the peak of its power. A very short while later Roy died suddenly, just as his career was skyrocketing again. So sad, no justice for a singing genius. RIP “The Big O”. 🙏🏻

Her voice has a meditative effect and she has a outstanding voice

Excellent reaction Harry. You have a big heart.

She is our Canadian treasure, 🇨🇦 and we love her.

Truly amazing!

She was worthy from the beginning

KD Lang is an amazing singer, and she did this song justice. Another great version in by Don McLean. His music is full of emotion, and his version can make a grown man cry.

There are singers of songs, and then there are interpreters of songs. K.D. shows the difference here.

A phenomenal performance!! She exuberates so much confidence, love it, love her voice. Great tribute to Roy. RIP

If there was ever a more beautiful song.. and it makes me want to be better person...

💎🇨🇦🥰☮️💎🇺🇸🎸🥰💎 Thanks Harri this was so special, you need to watch Roy Orbison & K D Lang sing together!! This had me in tears because KD honoured The Great Orbison & im sure this took a lot out of her in this performance 💗

So great! k.d. is just so utterly blessed with a voice that doesn't come along all that often. Can't say I'm crazy about the instrumentation but, as always, she rises above it.

A outstanding Canadian talent!

She has such a beautiful honey voice!

MASTERFUL!!!

I've followed Roy Orbison's music, his career and how his life panned out from the early '60s until now and I never tire of his music, voice and believe he had one of the greatest and most unique voices ever heard. His private life was one of endless tragedies, The TWO best versions of 'Crying' I`ve heard is the one he duets with KDLang at her absolute best (they also appeared on TOTP in 1988 again singing it). The OTHER best version was when he sang it on the 'Black & White Night' recording. When he sung live, it was as if he was in the recording studio because there were NEVER any faults or blemishes. When musicians of the calibre of Bruce Springsteen and Elvis Costello signed to be part of the backing for the B & W Nights performance, they literally pulled the arm off their respective agents to get the placing, Orbison being held in such high regard. When Elvis Presley was complemented on his voice when appearing at Las Vegas in the late '60s and mid '70s he told the group 'you should hear the guy singing at The Sands if you think I'm good, The 'guy' was of course Roy Orbison!

Her voice and performance are always so dynamic. Exquisite.

Magic Gift!

Another great CANADIAN ICON. 🇨🇦 LOVE k.d. No that is a very old clip and her own hair colour. Watch her with Roy as Duet

Beautiful… 👍

I saw this video when she sang with Roy & harri she is a real power house of a singer. 👍👍😍. Her voice is so dam great & I love this song .🙌💯💯. I have picked a song by Roy for my funeral. It's called&. Life. Fades away. 💐💐. Beautiful

Beautiful

This is lovely, but her cover of Cole Porter's So In Love (recorded for the Red Hot and Blue album in the early 1990s) is heartbreaking and exquisite. The whole album, which is all Porter covers by contemporary artists, and raised money for Aids charities, is excellent, but k.d. is a star.

Her voice moves my soul, incredibly beautiful. You should absolutely check out her live performance of Hallelujah, it moves me to tears every time. Great choice. 🎶💜🎶

I loved the passion she brought to this great song. Sometime I'd like to hear your reaction to Roy Orbison's "Blue Angel."

Amazing singer. kd did Mr. Orbison proud. Thoughts for sharing your thoughts.

Absolutely one of my favorite singers.

I agree with comments! Shes amazing

She and Roy clicked and she continues to deliver amazing covers with heart and soul❤

One of the best live performers I ever saw. You should definitely listen to three cigarettes in an ashtray which I believe is on her debut album and it’s an old Patsy Cline song that she redid

I love that you mention how many teams this song has been covered and you are 1000% correct nobody to cover this song like KD! Period! I remember this tribute. I watched it on TV with my uncle who was dying of AIDS. He Died six months later. Every time I hear this watch this, I think of him.

Crazy thing is how clearly nervous she was and still was absolutely phenomenal.

She's an Angel

No one sings this better, not even Roy and I am a Roy Orbison fan. Very emotional tribute.

Big props to Debbie for the suggestion, and big thanks to you, Harri, for the reaction! Please put kd lang's version of "Hallelujah" from the 2010 Olympic opening ceremony on your list!

K.D. Lang is a National treasure in Canada and one of the greatest performers in the world! I believe she has no equal.😀🇨🇦❤️

Love her. What a voice!

This is amazing 😉

KD Lang has the best voice. Period.....otherworldly.

Amen Brother

She brings emotion and tears to my eyes. Everytime.

K.D. Lang is Canadian... Albeit her Talent transcends All Borders for All to enjoy :)))

Listen to kd sing Hallelujah. Phenomenal !!!

KD slays this song with her emotional powerhouse vocals. As for the color of her hair, it’s always been dark and she would never dye her hair to reflect Roy’s hair color.

KD did an album with crooner Tony Bennett. Great hearing them do those old-fashioned songs.

you won't find a better singer than kd

She is definitely a powerhouse singer. What a set of pipes! Thanks for doing this Harri. 🌺✌️

She was our female Elvis and we cherished her beyond all measure.

K.D. Lang, a Canadian Treasure and legend

Oh, also k.d. Lang and Take 6 doing Ridin' the Rails.

Hell yea!! Get ready, she blew Nashville away!!

Canadian singer. One of my favourites.

What a voice ❤️

KD has a way of singing beautifully and masterfully and paying tribute at the same time.

I Am Crying!

OH MY GOD! SO glad you're reacting to this video. I've seen several videos of KD Lang performing "Crying", and THIS one is my favorite. She really knocked it out of the park... She put SO much emotion into this performance. Although I like some of her other stuff, this performance is just head and shoulders above all of her other stuff (IMO). Glad you liked it!

That was great. Thank you!

I agree 👍

There was another tribute concert in Roy's name and Benny Mardones did Roy's song "Running Scared". Another great performance.

Yes he was because no one has covered him like her

Never heard of her....but she has a beautiful voice ❤️

I'm crying

You must look up the original video with their duet. Fabulous. This is Fabulous. She is Fabulous.
