Dios mio, jamas habia escuchado a este hombre, canta como los mismos dioses... en verdad, canta hermosamente bello..!! woW, estoy pasmado.. xD HALLELUJAH...!!! :/
Brilliant performance and singer!!! She's right up there with the greats.....Garland, Minnelli, Streisand, Ella, Patsy, ....etc. I wish she got the credit she deserves as a truly timeless vocalist, and that more people could appreciate this talent rather than the rap crap that seems to be on the charts. Simply baffling.
"playing the crowd" does not have to mean she is faking anything. If you have ever performed before an audience you would understand another way it could be taken: there is an energy that the performer gets from the audience, and gifted performers can surf on it and send it back in the power of what they do. KD Lang clearly has that kind of talent. I assume the opening of the Olympics was the biggest live crowd she had played to, and she was magnificent.
I love how she sings but i cant forgiver her, on an interview she did...she said she plays the crowd. I prefer an honest performance. However i give her her whats due...great interpretation of her songs. Just wish the game playing wasn't there.
@Lexphoto Isnt that part of being a performer? Shes does by far the BEST Version of this song I have ever seen. EVER. EVERY single time she sings it I get goose bumps. WONDERFUL. She can play me anyday
@Lexphoto Ya but she backs it up with her voice, she's a pro, good for her, she's an entertainer and should play to the crowd. Even Roy Orbinson said one of the purest voices he ever heard, what a compliment!
@1274anne I was there too! Wasn't that incredible?! Not only her voice, but her band members are also very talented, and their rapport really brought a lot to the performance. Even in that brutal heat!
When Cohen heard KD's version,He said"ok done "meaning she sang the song the way it was meant and she is unsurpassed.But be sure to listen to Alexander Burke and The Candadian Tenors,PHENOMENAL too!
the version she did for the cohen tribute might just top this version.. check it out and tell me which is better... she is so blessed with a voice that is smooth as silk... I have such a straight girly crush on her.♥
Huh? If you could be gay for kd, doesn't that mean you are gay? Or at least bi? Just wondering. Guess I should to do something more productive, huh?
BTW, I love kd, too. Just not in *that* way. Ick. Couldn't be with another woman. Not that men are perfect. Lord knows their silly peters can be a joke. (;^) But touch a woman? Ick. But if you want to - hey, go for it. Just don't touch me. Ick.
Guess I'll go clean my bathroom. Ick. And listen to kd. (;^)
My Mother has already put in her say that this is the hym that she wants played at her funeral and only sung by this wonderful woman who has been blessed to have such an instrument of a voice. I will abide by my motherrs wishes,but god knows that she and i have at least another 10 to 20yr's ahead of us yet. But when we do play thas for her I will be shattered,after all this song brings me undone now just listening to her haunting beautiful voice.I just close my eye's nd allow myself 2 drift away
kd lang owns this song. Incredible vocals - from a booming forte that fills the theater to stunning pianissimo falsetto that draws every listener right into the heart of Cohen's gorgeous work. Amazing!!!
I love KD...she models so beautifully and powerfully what being a Lesbian is..beautiful and powerful l when we have the courage to be who we really are. I am inspired and encouraged to be more fully myself each time I hear or see her on Youtube. I feel hope at some deep placeand that I am OK and more.
When I want to feel my deepest soul, I listen to k.d. lang singing this most amazing, awesomely beautiful song. Even if the words were different, still that haunting melody will reach down to your depths. May there always be these songs to touch us in the most profound way. I never tire of it...not like so many of the empty, meaningless songs we so often hear today. God bless you Leonard Cohen and k.d. lang.
I think that what makes this song so great is that in the hands of a great singer it becomes more than a song. It can be a wail of anguish or a quiet prayer. It touches your soul in spots you thought were dead and buried. Just so beautiful.
Saw k.d & Sissboombang. live in Manchester last night fantastic performance.She received well a. deserved standing ovation for her rendition of Hallelujah.What a voice This song in particular give me goosebumps
To all who seemed to have locked their feelings away, for whatever reason,find the quiet comfort in this song,so well sung with feeling by a great voice. Thank You K.D. Lang. May We Walk in Beauty ....Blessings
I am not sure how to describe what this song does to me.It stirs such emotion in me that I sob through out it,leaves me with goosebumps.A truly beautiful song sung by a truly beautiful person. k.d's voice is perfection bar none!! I have had the pleasure of seeing her perform live twice, the first time was in the early eighties. I have been a fan from the first time she stepped on that stage.love this lady!!!!
She is phenomenal - that's all that can be said. When you can feel the passion and feeling in a song such as this, you know you have heard it performed as it should be.
I can't ever hear this enough and each time it leaves me speechless for a little while as I reflect on it.
Ich habe nur Weltweit nur eine bessere Version gehört!
Es ist Geschmack aber bei beiden bekomme ich nur eine Gänsehaut und die ist der Wahnsinn!! Frauen bringen es pur rüber dieses Gefühl diese Leidenschaft und bringen einen um den Verstand. Danke
Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan are similar in this way, in my opinion: they write wonderful songs which are then sung better by other people. ;) For example, Adele's "Make You Feel My Love," and k.d.'s fantastic job here.
ELTON, I TRUST YOU ARE WARM AND HAVE A NICE STAN TOPOL DECORATED ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD AND FOOD IN YOUR MOUTH. TOO BAD SO MANY AMERICAN HIV/AIDS PEOPLE ARE SUFFERING NEEDLESSLY FROM ALL THE GREED CAUSED BY "CHARITIES" (INCLUDING YOURS).
its not someone whos seen the light its cold and its so broken...
research gnostics. a following of christ who believed in perfect rehabilitation from the God. Through human relationships they believed that every soul should be rehabilitated an never destroyed in this realm or the next.
Just because God gives choice to do bad it doesnt mean he will let you suffer the consequences of being bad forever or abruptly judge you at any given moment. We all learn to love in countless lives.
Know that if the world ends violents with the faithful taking part in violent action we will all start all over again from scratch. None would be forgiven and sent on the great tribulation once again. If you preach of a violent end propogated by the faithful I fear you have perhaps missed the entire message of Christ. Christ spoke of a fire and of a punishment but unlike the Jewish texts he insisted the punishment from God was differrent it was REHABILITATION.
If Jesus were to be a God and to die for your sins be sure that he would do the same for your enemy and perhaps even before he does it for you.
Know that if a merciful Higher Power creates a soul he will also deliver it from suffering and never cast them into eternal suffering. The suffering is created by us. The punishments are always unjust in Gods eyes. To hard or too light, never perfect. We often focus on punishment where God only focuses on rehabilation.
Her faith was strong but you needed proof. You saw her baiting on the roof of beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya.
The followers of Christ held females equal in fact there was female apostle that was there for more of Christs death and rising than any other.
You should know that even your sacred scripture perverts the message of Christ when it preaches of a abrupt and violent end where souls will be punished for eternity. Jesus would die for your enemy.
To me this song reminds me of the prejudice of the church towards females and the gospels written in thier name. The christian faith shamefully excluded female scripture from your bible. They also limited priesthood to men. This was never taught by Christ. Christ wanted to perfect his JEWISH temple. And he would have forgiven any sexual sin and shown you exactly how to get others to love you regardless. This song remind me of Mary Magdalene.
Of all the versions of this song I've ever heard KD p[erform, this has to be the most chilling, heartstopping version. I don't know if it's the reverb in the place she's singing or what, but I literally stopped what I was working on to watch and listen.
KD is made in the LORDS image. She has done more in her life than most the people writing hatred ! KD is a true talent. A gift like hers comes from a good place, not a dark one.
Yup she looks like a lesbian, because she is one...and she's a woman, a beautiful one at that! Look passed the label and see the artist, the person...hmmm the sister, the daughter...man what's wrong with people, are we still stuck in the 60's...hello, live your life and don't worry about anyone elses!!
Just goes to show you the scope of people's prejudices. This woman is beautiful, her soul emits outward each time she opens her mouth to sing. Those of you who can spew hate after listening to that are very sad, sad individuals. An absolutely stunning rendition.
This is 2nd only to Leonard Cohen singing it! I have heard, sang and played many songs in my life and have tons of favorites...but this is way above the rest!
@GavriellaMichal I looked at my comment and it obviously didn't sound what I meant. I'm saying it's sad that all people have commented are is her sexuality, and that they notice that before her talent.
Everyone was created in HIS image. KD is a powerful singer, her voice is certainly a gift from above, Who can hear her and not think she is a TRUE talent and a gift !
Brilliant! My husband & I have had the privilege of seeing her live 3 times and getting to hear her sing this live twice. Each time, the venue is completely silent for this song. Every person had goosebumps and then the place erupted in cheers! One of the best live performers ever! I think she is better live than on cd.
Yes. There is a greatness in her voice that eludes recording. I've heard virtually all the great female singers live over the last 40 years. There is no voice to match kd's.
I've read a lot of comments about k.d. and by and large you generally love her. She truly has the voice of an Angel. Let's all continue to enjoy her , and forget the closed minds and idiots out there who wouldn't know class if it slapped them in the face. Love all of you who support k.d., keep on keeping on..............
to bizintin, shut the hell up and listen to an angel in human shape sing......................... you don't know crap about the truth, what you are using as truth was written by arab men, and as far as I'm concerned anyone who starts quoting the bible as "truth" to me I will turn right around and quote "through the looking glass", to me and many others this is just as poignant if not more so than the bible.
As always, K.D.Lang's version is the best. I don't she can utter an imperfect note. She steps over her own vocals and changes her phrasing every time and it's always perfect. Gift from God no doubt.
Sorry, Bobbymac28. Voted down in error by kitten on the keyboard. Can't fix. There seem to be no bad versions of this song. Evidently nobody can screw it up.
@creeper8437 Have you heard Leonard Cohen doing it? Not very good!! yeah I know he wrote it but sometimes other people are better doing originals and some not. K.D's is by far the best IMHO.
Here is the link to the original version, written and performed by Leonard Cohen.
This performance is on a German variety TV show that aired in the late 60's or early 70's. youtube(dot)com/watch?v=ccGz-li_rgM (You will have to replace the dots with periods!)
How come she never sings the last verse? I've listened to several of her versions. Extraordinary and powerful, passionate voice. I am just curious as to why she never sings the last verse of the song.
starrlin1, I agree with you, as for the 20, oh well....k d lang is amazing, a voice that is a gift from God, no one can be taught what she does so naturally. I too sit totally consumed when she sings.....thanks so much for posting
I have been listening, obsessively to the Juno awards version of this for the past several months. Just found this one. It's very different, much more gentle and intimate, but just as wonderful. This woman can do no wrong! Amazing ... awesome ... stunning ... there are no words.
Every single time I view this I want to comment....but I have no words, I have no breath, my heart bleeds and, yet, my soul soars. I'm a dyed in the wool rocker chick, but I doubt anything will touch me the way kd lang's version of Hallelujah does.......
God, this woman... blows me away every time. This performance, any time I watch a video of her performing this song... tears to my eyes. Just so brilliant, and so often underrated by people my age.
God, this woman... blows me away every time. This performance, any time I watch a video of her performing this song... tears to my eyes. Just so brilliant, and so often underrated by people my age.
Wow...why so many comments removed? Are there really that many assholes in the universe...K.D. Lang is amazing...and her version of this lovely Leonard Cohen song is the epitome of beauty..I love this
Who could possible put thumbs down to this!!!!?????!!!! k.d.lang.....you are amazing...I have to sit still..with my headphones on...holding them to my ears...and hold my breath while I allow your voice...your emotion to move me...and as I watch you perform this song (that my daughter shared with me)...I understand her more each and every time...it has brought me closer to her...thank you...for sharing your beautiful gift..and a part of yourself.

@AngSyn89 what does her sexuality has to do with you?????
GavriellaMichal 11 months ago
@GavriellaMichal I looked at my comment and it obviously didn't sound what I meant. I'm saying it's sad that all people have commented are is her sexuality, and that they notice that before her talent.

@AngSyn89 Oh I see. Well I stck with my comment. No one has any right to tell anyone how they should live their life.

Brilliant! My husband & I have had the privilege of seeing her live 3 times and getting to hear her sing this live twice. Each time, the venue is completely silent for this song. Every person had goosebumps and then the place erupted in cheers! One of the best live performers ever! I think she is better live than on cd.

Yes. There is a greatness in her voice that eludes recording. I've heard virtually all the great female singers live over the last 40 years. There is no voice to match kd's.

Let's all continue to enjoy her , and forget the closed minds and idiots out there who wouldn't know class if it slapped them in the face. Love all of you who support k.d., keep on keeping on..............

to bizintin, shut the hell up and listen to an angel in human shape sing......................... you don't know crap about the truth, what you are using as truth was written by arab men, and as far as I'm concerned anyone who starts quoting the bible as "truth" to me I will turn right around and quote "through the looking glass", to me and many others this is just as poignant if not more so than the bible.

As always, K.D.Lang's version is the best. I don't she can utter an imperfect note. She steps over her own vocals and changes her phrasing every time and it's always perfect. Gift from God no doubt.

Try finding the original performance by Leonard Cohen from the late 60's or early 70's on a German variety TV show. Here is the You Tube link.

@creeper8437 Have you heard Leonard Cohen doing it? Not very good!! yeah I know he wrote it but sometimes other people are better doing originals and some not. K.D's is by far the best IMHO.

How come she never sings the last verse? I've listened to several of her versions. Extraordinary and powerful, passionate voice. I am just curious as to why she never sings the last verse of the song.
