  • Скромная женщина!! По 8 раз кланяться )))

  • look at her in her skills. the way she looks in the outside does't mean she isn't that good in singing. its just like Susan Boyle. i mean like so what if she has bad style(no offense). She's an awesome singer!!! Oh yeah, im doing this for a concert i'm having. im in choir so we have to learn it. LOVE IT!!!!!

  • WOW!

  • She's a wonderful singer, the singing is beautiful, but she doesn't capture the agony of this song.

  • I love K.D., she brings something wonderful to this song. I still love the way the master did it though. Mr. Cohen gave us all a little piece of his heart when he wrote this. It belongs to him, that can not be denied.

  • 2:45 I started crying

  • Like angels crying.

  • She is amazing!! That was awsome!! Thank you so much for sharing it!---Lee

  • amazing..

  • Comment removed

  • Her voice is so effortless, as though it is coming down from the Heavens above... beautiful voice and soul. I also agree with theshadowknows24... Brandi Carlile's version is equally heart-wrenching and powerful. Leonard Cohen is the ultimate master of the written word and these women bring it to a place of transcendence.

  • This woman gives me chills when I hear her sing.. Wonderful song!

  • Take note boys and girls.....big difference between singing...and singing with emotion....those in the audience feel the performance they don't hear it!!!!!...amazing job KD Lang.

  • SHE IS GORGEOUS ffs do not be so disrespectful!!!!

  • He is so ugly?

  • What a song what a voice fantastic

  • EPIC ........ !

  • It just rips the heart open to the wonder and mystery of our lives.

  • Many consider Jeff Buckley's cover to be the best version of this. I wager most of them haven't seen and heard this one. She's incredible.

  • @DavidSeibert You should hear Brandi Carlile sing it.

  • @DavidSeibert I Totally agree with you. She OWNS this song

  • An absolutely STUNNING performance of a beautiful song by an OUTSTANDING performer who feels the music and helps us to feel it, too. Thank you so very much for posting this video. I watch it over and over as often as I can. It fills my heart. No one else sings this song with the emotion that KD gives over to us. God bless her and the talent that she shares with the world!

  • KD Lang + Hallelujah = MAGIC!!

  • 1 min in i was crying my eyes out , powerful!!!! i love it!!!

  • There is NOTHING worse than bozo's in the audience screaming and applauding DURING a song. Whoever started this moronic trend should be tossed in a vat of hot oil.

  • @dingysd agreed, what a bunch of plums

  • @dingysd That's a little harsh. Maybe a bad case of back acne for three days? lol

  • Wow.

  • Esta música tem o poder de me transportar para junto de Deus e vagar alegremente nas nuvens. Felicidade plena.

  • The power of music to touch us as humans and transport us to a heavenly space,,is evident in THIS singer and song, May we never stop making music God Bless Human kind and our love for LIFE.

  • KD - I dont know you or may never meet you but at this time , at the end of watching that video just wanted to hold you and feel you and thank you and love you , TIMOTHY - Las Vegas

  • WARDEN 1964 - Also the simple perfect comment , song and the comment brought heightened sense of spiritual consciousness and tears of love joy pity and hope flowing , flowing from my eyes ---- still as I try to type !!!

  • I can't say in words how much this song means to me. Thank-you.

  • Please watch this performance of hallelujah by some simple girl and you will be shocked. youtube.com/watch?v=Uop-UOTtlb­Y

  • Oh my God....leaves me speechless....

  • I remember/had the privilage of seeing KD LANG and ''YES''Leanard Cohen in concert.What a royal treat to hear the most amazing song ever being performed live...some great comments here....

  • Beautifully done K.D.- best version ever and no one can or will top it

  • Her voice is truely a gift for this world....

  • How come there are people dislikes this video??? Shame on them..

  • You shallow fools... S a t a n has appeared, in the form of kd lang! She sings like an angel, yet she will doom us all to heck, for her deviant ways. LOL jk. This version brings me to tears every time. God shines through her. Thanks, kd.

  • Good must really love lesbians. Because She gifted this one with the divine voice of an angel. I hope the people in the audience that night realized that they were in the presence of greatness..... almost unworldly.

  • Seriously, K.D. that voice.....Goddess Diva!

  • B-E-A-U-TIFUL!

  • How hauntingly beautiful. She seems so humble which is hard to do in the music world. We will be watching all of her videos after this and searching for tickets to a live performance. Bless KD

  • Beautiful. Also check out Jeff Buckley's version, also beautiful.

  • Simply beautiful, the woman is a genies. I could listen to her voice all day, I love KD Lang and she is gorgeous too xx

  • mesmerizing performance K. D. has a voice that can bring any one to there knees simply beautiful.K.D. if you read these post's I would love to here you do your rendition of the late great Janis Joplin's title A women left lonley it's such a beautiful song with your voice I can only imagine

  • No offense to the current pop/contemp/alt darling Adele, but, um, kd lang rocks her world. And I mean it, Adele is a great songwriter, and has a very good voice. Not this, though.

  • Gorgeous!  Wow!

  • OMG she is awesome!

  • I was fortunate to see kd perform this tune (and lots of her own awesome music) live at the Balboa Theatre in San Diego last October (2011), fourth row center orchestra. As soon as the first chord was struck for 'Hallelujah', there was an immediate hush in the audience; you could have heard a pin drop... If she's coming to a venue near you, do everything within your power, ways and means to experience kd live... you won't regret it!!!!

  • @hautetamale I wished I would have known that. I'm from San Diego but now live in Washington State. But I have a brother who lives just a couple of miles from Balboa Park (beautiful place) and I would have flown down in a second had I known, just to hear her sing this one song. There are those who will disagree with me, but in my opinion, nobody comes even close to doing this song as much justice as K.D. And my guess it, nobody ever will.

  • Wow what a voice this is truly an amazing song sung by K D Lang

  • She chokes me up with this ever time I watch it..

  • I always get emotional when I hear sing this.THE BEST !

  • I have watched this and listened to it many times and it stills brings tears to my eyes and chills up my spine. Fantastic.

  • @toppyjt mE TOO.

    

  • Wow, I had no idea she could sing like that. I hadn't really paid attention to her much, but wow, I'm astonished!!

  • Comment removed

  • This is real emotion °°°

  • I love KD as a singer may she find as much happiness in her life as she brings others with her wonderful voice. thank-you for sharing

  • What a singer. What a performer. What a woman. Brilliance incarnate.

  • C'est tellement touchant qu'il n'y a pas de mots pour décrire ce que je ressens.Merci Kd Lang.

  • if you are brave enough to sing it

  • Sexy, sultry voice. WOW

  • Treasure this performance, she may never do it better.

  • WOW!!! KD Lang is so humble and beautiful. One of the best voices in the world.

  • Is this Post-op or Pre-op?

  • My girl just beautiful :)

  • The first time I've heard someone else sing this song and *not* wished it was Cohen. Fabulous!

  • Oh how I wish I had front row seats to a concert ...

  • {;-) ...

  • Katie, you sing like you HAVE to !!! almost a 20 yr fan ere, plz keep keep blessing the world with ya pipes.

    the Crowe girl doesnt do a bad job also :)

  • Her version of this brings me to tears

  • "It's not a cry that you hear at night, it's not somebody who's seen the light/ it's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah" - when I listened to this version of the song, I finally understood what this line meant. I had thought it was a pessimistic line but it's actually not, it's more a cry of pain and a sense that we are all cold and broken and searching for the light in some way, whether that's God or something else that gives us meaning. And interestingly, people think this is a religious song

  • Wow. Just wow.

    

  • I think she is simply the best!

  • Awesome! As a musician there are not many renditions of songs, whether it be instrumental, vocal, or other that touch me. This one by K.D. touches me deeply. I can find my place where I want to be, even if temporarily.

  • beautiful

  • Nobody sings this song better. It just cuts so deep. Thank you k.d.

  • hairs on the back of the neck moment !!

  • SHE WAS MAGNIFICENT HERE!

  • i thought she is a man

  • @highFBI She is no man

  • Magnificent. Brought me to my feet. simply magnificent.

  • Beautiful, elegant, mesmerizing and inspiring performance! Call me a fan now. However, Jeff Buckley's rendition is still my favorite.

  • Comment removed

  • She is magnificent here! Wow"

  • Her voice is just like WOW! its amazing!

  • her voice is just beautiful, effortless, KD does have a bachelor's degree in music and I have always felt she knows how to handle her voice far better than most popular singers today. This performance is just the best, it cannot get any better than this.

  • WOW!!!

  • Best voice on the planet. God inflicts so much misery on people who never get to see you tube. 97.26%

  • The trueness of heart, the goodness of soul, the gift of God.... evident in one womans performance. Simply breathtaking.

  • Cohen said something to his wife like "Well I guess that song is done, it will never sound better than that" I hope someone can find and post his quote, thanks.

  • WOW, DOESN'T GET ANY BETTER.

  • The singing is AMAZING, but o gosh i thought was a guy

  • touch our souls, she does

  • She sings with all her soul...

  • @Mikaelthearchangel: FIST TIME?

  • DAMNED ! I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE NUMBER OF COMMENTS THE FIST TIME I WATCHED THIS VIDEO HALF AN HOUR AGO OR SAW ! PROBABLY BECAUSE I GOT A BIT EXALTED BECAUSE OF THE NUMBER OF VIEWS ; "6776738"., AND BECAUSE THE PHOTO I SNAPPED OF IT GOT THE NUMBER "10538".. THIS SHOULD BE COMMENT NO 11939. HALLELUJAAH ! ; )

  • she has an absolutly beautiful voice. any one who dissagrees has no soul.

  • OMG! Totally amazing!!!!!

  • touching..

  • chills all over

  • A great example of "less is more". A fantastic performance.

  • @Grado2003 Your wrong. KD has a face of God and the voice of this angels.

  • @littlenero :Cohen has written and performed many different versions of this song, including with and without the 'lord of song' verse (personally I missed the 'holy dove' verse more).

  • She has an amazing voice, but like many who cover the song she edited the lyrics in unfortunate ways that alter the poetry. She cut off one of the last sets of lines "But even though it all went wrong/ I'll stand right here before the lord of song/ with nothing on my tongue but hallelujah". This is the uplifting, redemptive end to the song. The poetry just isn't the same if they get chopped off.

  • OMG OMG OMG THE BEST song performer and audience EVER!!!!!

  • Kippenvellllllll............

  • @Grado2003 Has to be in the Top-5 funniest lines *ever* on YouTube!! :-D

  • oj, jak ja kocham ten głos , to brzmienie , i ten utwór, właśnie w wykonaniu K.D. Lang

    jest boski

  • epic.

  • Amazing! No one better Then KD lang!

  • There is a God above KD. He gave you your beautiful talent and me the ability to see it. I am a musician but I weep at your beautiful voice. I wish this to another.

  • Ill never forget this night. I was sitting about 15 rows away from the stage and her and I was crying like there was no tomorrow in fact my entire row all had tears coming down their eyes. One of the best nights of my life. KD Lang is my favourite female singer of all time.

  • @Grado2003 AaaaaaaaHahahahahaha...holy crap, that comment made made me laugh so hard my stomach cramped. I 100% agree.

  • it gives me Goosebumps every time i hear it !!!

  • love it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! <3

  • 240p is all she needs

  • I don't think I breathed during her rendition.........how incredible is this?

  • Exquisite...

    

  • beyond beautiful ~

  • Wow! That dude can SING!!!!

  • @Creamy101 It's a woman :)

  • I know I am straight and yet.....why? why>

  • heavenly ..... nuff said.

  • Wow.. she can sing..

  • Had a terrible loss in my life today!!! Really needed to hear this song!!!

    

  • @littlewoman744 Sorry about your loss.. :(.. I hope you make it through this o.k.

  • A.Ma.zing

  • have you all seen her perform this live? I can't even talk about the experience, honestly. There aren't words to express how moved I was and how I felt during/after. If you get the chance- do it. The audience clapped for a good 10+ minutes afterwards. She sang the SH*T out of this song.

  • @ancoraimpar0 I am so envious of you! It is one of my "bucket list" things to do.. I *must* hear this woman, sing this song, in my presence.. I am pretty sure there will be tears streaming down my face the entire time. Her rendition of this song is beyond words. No one can sing this like she does, IMO. No one.

  • @jmfranks78 Oh yes there will be tears. To have THAT much passion, soul, and emotion after countless performances - and still be able to move an entire audience, render them speechless/motionless. I don't even know. I literally felt like she was singing it for the first time, for us, for the very last time. MY.GOD. You'll see her, I have no doubt! ;)

  • @jmfranks78 Seeing her live is nothing like seeing her on a youtube video or on TV. Keep it on your bucket list!

  • Amazing performance!!

  • So, who is this odd guy?

  • BEST version! No contest!

  • Since when did this become some lesbian national anthem?

  • My boyfriends baby sister was tragically killed December 21, 2011. They were best friends from the time she was born till she died. At her funeral on Jan. 3 2012 It was a packed church, well over 200 attended. my boyfriend, her brother gave the eulogy. It was heart breaking, immediatly following the eulogy we played this song. There wasnt a dry eye, I have never seen so many grown men cry. I wish I could thank K.D. Land personally. Very emotional and lovely song. R.I.P. Shelly Keith.

  • gets me everytime.......goose bumpyz.. baby

  • I cannot get through this song without becoming utterly taken by emotion.. She sings it like nobody else I've ever heard. <3

  • I love you KD

  • Hallelujah? It is the soul expressing thankfulness to its source. ~ V.H.M (6-15-1996)

  • @phototwist...Do you have a musical sense that obviously nobody else on here has? Or, even the entire audience who gave her a standing ovation?

  • I can't understand how ANYONE could possibly say anything negative about her voice! This is one of the best vocal performances that I have ever heard.

  • awesome job ladyguy!

  • I get goosebumps listening to this

  • Her performance of this song is very well done. But, don't get carried away. She has not created any new jobs, and she hasn't cured any diseases. My goodness, she didn't even write the music or lyrics. Chill out. If you want to honor someone, send your thnaks to Leonard Cohen.

  • @judgeofcharacter1961 Leonard Cohen was in an audience where she sang "his" song and even he stood up at the end! Frankly, he looked in awe at what came out of her mouth....he can write it, sorta sing it, but not get the emotional punch k.d. delivers.

  • @Rosey212 Yep, he can write it, and she can give it the emotional punch. Isn't it grand, what we can do when we work together?! Hallelujah.

  • @Rosey212 Agreed! Leonard is a great lyricist, but his singing doesn't really have the knack of singing with deep emotion. His version is ok, but this one's incredible!

  • @Rosey212 thats fine, as an opinion. even in l cohen's early days it was never about pure vocal talent. its pretty obvious that kd might have better pipes, or some physical superiority to l cohen.sure he might stood for a nice performance of a song that he who wrote it says of it, "..its a nice song.."now i know he is humble but, wow....emotional punch? tha"ts all relative is it not? i am not here to start a war with ya by any means... just saying sometimes original Is actually better?

  • @judgeofcharacter1961 Lighten up! it's about her performance of the song...Brilliant!

  • SIMPLY BREATHTAKING !

  • Damn! Jaw Hanging Down.

  • I have heard several versions of this song and I have liked most of them, but I have to admit I do love KD's version. It has passion.

  • I have to come back to this video every couple of weeks. KD singing this song moves me in a way few songs can.

  • She's barefoot! Her jacket looks Daoist.

  • I sat at my computer with tears rolling down my cheeks.....The depth of passion and emotion that she brings and communicates through this song is awesome and breathtaking

  • It still brings tears to my eyes, every time I hear her sing this song. Respectfully, with so much grace, she shows the pain love brings. Just amazing.

  • when she sings "love is not a victory march, it's a cold and it's a broken hallelujah" it physically hurts me.
