“Crying” a tribute to Roy Orbison. She’s being inducted into the 2024 Canadian Country music Hall of Fame. Well deserved.

Not just a standing ovation, but one from her peers. The Junos are Canada's music awards. She also performed it at the 2010 Vancouver winter Olympics and Leonard Cohen's induction into the song writer's hall of fame.

She sang this at the Opening Ceremony of the Vancouver Olympics 2010. Guaranteed goosebumps.

One of the best singers on the planet.

Thanks so much for reacting to this. LOVE k.d.lang! Please do her Constant Craving and her Crying. Both are outstandingly beautiful.

Spectacularly Emotive performance from a stellar Artist....What a a gift to the world K.D Lang is.

Oh my goodness thank you thank you for this Leonard Cohen who wrote the song said no one else need to cover this song after k d’s version ❤❤ Crying next please xx k d was born in Edmonton & grew up in Consort Alberta she is a beautiful soul inside & out absolutely love her ❤❤❤❤

So beautiful I love her singing this

🇨🇦 Canada on Canadian ! Now google K.D. Lang and Leonard Cohen ! Cohen is one of Canada's most prolific and famous writers ! All Canadian female artists are #BadAss like this ! 🇨🇦

Chills every time I hear KD sing hallelujah ♥️♥️♥️

Each time she sings this it’s a varied performance. Too beautiful. Her cover of So in Love is breathtaking

This brings tears every time..she’s SO gifted❤Thanks for the great reaction ❤

K D Lang is amazing. Please look for the live performance with her and Melissa Etheridge 💕 "You Can Sleep While I Drive. " Incredible ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

She has such a strong and gentle voice. Just love her singing. Never hear from anymore......

PLEASE react to her singing 'Crying' at Roy Orbison's Tribute Concert. Runette

You wouldn't know it from this performance, but k.d. lang got her start as a performance artist. You should see and hear her and her band, the Reclines, transform country western songs into a new genre. With the help of Dave Edmunds of punk legends, Rockpile, they created "county cow punk", high energy polkas, "Angel with a Lariat", "Watch Your Step Polka", "Turn Me Round", and her remake of the Lynn Anderson country pop classic, "Rose Garden".

I love Leonard Cohen, he was my favorite poet/songwriter, right up there with Joni Mitchell, Bob Dylan and Harry Chapin. Their stories conveyed through song are soul touching and beautiful. K.D. does a great job on this one, her voice so powerful and clear. Cohen was also Canadian/American. He spent a lot of his time in the later part of his life in his beloved Montreal House. He was an outstanding writer and always had the best musicians and backup singers with him. He is a songwriter/musician's, musician. I am in total awe of his work. He performed late into his life doing tours that lasted a year and each performance lasting about 3 hours. He also had a very interesting life and unique outlook on life as well. I miss him so much.

I’ve always loved her beautiful voice. It’s still as good as it ever was. Thanks for reacting to her.

excellent singer.. and so humble, looking so shy as she accepted that standing ovation.

Welcome to the world of KD Lang. She started her singing career in the early 80's as a Country singer. She has a long list of hit songs and slowly her music has evolved to more than just country music. She does do some covers of other artist's, like this song. She performed this during the opening ceremony for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver. I recommend checking that out, even just on your own. That one was even more powerful, in my opinion. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsl_hLacxMmxf2Q.htmlsi=oe8OtJhbxAAxYcEu If you want other songs to check out by her, Miss Chatelaine, Summerfling, Constant Craving, Roy Orbison's Crying to name a few. She also semi-retired in 2019.

K.D Lang did an amazing job on this and she has got a beautiful voice. I’ve heard other songs that she has sang and she really does have a beautiful voice. I wish I can remember some of her songs but she did amazing thank you for doing this Prada.

Beautiful voice and just stunning ❤💯

I was so fortunate to see her in Melbourne Australia in a small venue in 2010/2011. She was absolutely unbelievable. She does her shows in bare feet and just walks around singing as though it’s nothing, meanwhile we are all totally amazed at what we are hearing, not a sound from the crowd, making sure not to miss one note from her. It was a wonderful experience for everyone there!!

I have always loved her interpretation and her vocals. When I first heard her sing this I was spellbound. Listening to it start just now, I got tingles at her first rise in the first verse. Her vocal capabilities are approached by only a few. Her ability to feel a song causes those tingles even though I have heard her do this song many times.

Love her❤

I love this song so beautiful ❤

Thanks for the great reaction! She is fantastic. This is my favorite version of this song. ☮️❤️😎

Beautiful song 😊

Leonard Cohen said this is her song now, after hearing her version. Check out her tribute to Roy Orbison Crying. (He asked her to sing with him when he re recorded his song.). She started our as a country singer. Her song Constant Craving is another song to react to.

Very Beautiful Song, first time listening to her! Another Great Show! Much love and respect!

Incredible vocalist my favorite version of this song, which is a great song and no one does it better

Prada, If you react to: K.D. Lang Performing “CRYING” PLEASE…. React to her performance: MTV UNPLUGGED in 1997

She has an album - Hymns of the 49th Parallel ... all songs by Canadian songwriters. It is beautiful. On that album she has a version of Joni Mitchell's song - A Case of You. It is beautiful in an almost other worldly way. It will stop you in your tracks. Please listen to it. And like others mentioned here ... she is very well known for her version of Crying by Roy Orbison

We Canadians are very proud of our Alberta songstress ❤

Love our k.d.!!!!!

Her tribute to Roy Orbison (Crying) shouldn't be missed.

🎉❤ beautiful song 🎵 Much luv & respect always Cass

As a hearing impaired person I have always loved the way k.d. lang enunciates when singing. For many songs I need to listen a few times to catch the lyrics but hers I get on first listen. Karen Carpenter and Linda Ronstadt are others who enunciate nicely when singing. I still enjoy music if I can't understand but this is a bonus that adds to the enjoyment.

Mr. Cohen was asked to sing this epic song at the 2010 Olympics (in Canada).. he declined and recommended they have kd sing it instead. They did so - you should check it out - it’s even better than this version! (IMO)!! Thank-you - great reaction to this beyond amazing artist.

k d Lang also performed this in Melbourne Australia for the Logie Awards. 2010

Very beautiful; made me a little teary eyed😢❤

My favorite version of Crying is the MTV Unplugged--a beautiful performance. For some really wild torch and twang check out her live perform of In Care of the Blues on Johnny Carson show.

😭😭😭 Every time. This is already a beautiful song, but KD Lang's rendition is transcendent. Have you heard of or listened to the band Portishead? Give their song Glory Box a listen and see what you think. 🖖🏽

RIP, Leonard!

This, but at the 2010 winter olympics, was even better. Also, her MTV Unplugged version of Crying. Can't go wrong with her covers or her originals...always outstanding.

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

For suggestions outside of KD Lang, I'd love to recommend another Canadian, who in my opinion is one of the best vocalists I've ever heard. She had a long drawn out legal battle with her former record label. She had a number of hit songs back in the 90's and finally released a new album last year. But to truly enjoy and appreciate her vocals, I'd suggest starting with her 90s hits. In no particular order: Dark Horse, Let it Rain, Fall From Grace, Everybody Has a Story, Beautiful Goodbye, If I Didn't Have You, I'll Be Okay, Love Lift Me, Trust Me, Birmingham, Why Don't You Love Me, Believe in You.

You might want to listen to her cover of the song "the air that I breathe" by the Hollies. It's a truly brilliant interpretation of an older song.

My favorite female vocalist. Pleae check out her version of Roy Orbison's "Crying", Patsy Cline's "Three Cigarettes in an Ashtray", or my personal favorite, her rendition of Cole Porter's "So in Love" off the Red Hot and Blue AIDS benefit album ❤

I have heard this song in the movie called Sing

It is such a beautiful cover of this song. Might want to try Blood On Blood or Dry County from Bon Jovi at Wembley 1995 live.

Mr Prada West you feel music and it shows in your handsome face , a lovely quality . I hope I convey the same thing in movement when iam exercising outdoors running . When you feel you feel . ❤X

kd lang used to live here in Vancouver. I saw here hanging out on the drive a few times. I saw her in 1984 at the Railway Club when she was just on the verge of becoming known. I'd heard an interview with her on CBC radio that morning, but seeing her was not intentional and was a very happy accident.

Never heard of her til now

Leonard Cohen is in the Norton survey text of English Literature, studied in Universities

Hey, fellow Canadian here, on Alberta. You must react to her cover of Roy Orbison's Crying. Either the solo or there she does a duet with Roy. Both are amazing versions

You have videos mixed up. This clip is from The Juno Awards 2005. There is also a clip of her singing this song at Vancouver Olympics in 2010.

k.d. lang (she always spells in lower case) has always done her own thing. She started out in Alberta, Canada as a country singer with a touch of torch singing mixed in. At that time her band was called k.d.lang and The Reclines. They started making it big in the late 1980's but Country Music would not accept her. She wasn't a typical country singer and what made it worse for the establishment was that she was gay, out and proud. She started doing a bit more "torch" singing and has several albums of standards including work with Tony Bennett and Roy Orbison. Orbison's song "Crying" was released by her as a cover and also a duet with him. She has always been underrated but has carved out a career where she never compromised to appeal to the masses and is now better known than ever. Check out some of her early work like "Turn Me 'Round" "Johnny Come Lately" and especially "Lady Chatelaine". Her first big break came with a couple of appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson in the late 80's. She also sang at the closing ceremonies of the Calgary Olympics in 1988.

Love her voice ..react to her solo rendition of crying ...Roy Orbison tribute or concert of hope ..it's incredible

Hello from Florida ❤❤

Oh WOWWWW… K.D. is my ALL-TIME FAVORITE female vocalist! FYI to folks, tho: If you haven’t seen it… K.D.’s performance of “Hallelujah” at: THE 2010 OLYMPICS… IS EVEN BETTER than this: OTHERWORLDLY! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qsl_hLacxMmxf2Q.htmlsi=C9TE1RrfLiZ7lZpT

❤❤😊😊

Prada West did you know that Hallelujah is the highest hymn in Heaven

Pentatonix version is also very beautiful and touching.

The Holy Trinity of versions of Hallelujah -- this, LeeAnn Rimes and Morgan James.

You are west coast, I am east coast, Canada rocks

If you are looking for another truly remarkable - once in a lifetime singers - check out Eva Cassidy at Blues Alley singing Over the Rainbow. A musical performance you will not forget

Another Canadian you should listen to is Joni Mitchell. I’m one of a kind writer, singer and artist love for decades. She’s a little bit of everything and a little bit jazzy at times. Just a thought but since you’re Canadian, I think you’d appreciate her most people do.

Check put her song Constant Craving....

Awe. Why I said she was fantastic?????
