kd lang - Hallelujah live on morning TV

[gcmc2]

Angry about how this place works as per my recent post but I should at least post what I came here to post. I have listened to every KDL version loaded here I think, & there's no doubt this is the very best. I often wonder if she knows it - I'm so sure that it is as good as her best ( likely her very best ) but I'd love to know what she'd think if she listened to it. Funny nobody else mentioned it but she did this at 6:30 am or something. Fresh rested morning voices post great performances.

[gcmc2]

I take the "show all comments" option & I'm cut off & have to download the video again ? Are YT ripping me off like most internet ISPs & sites ? Are they colluding with ISPs & other retailers of internet content.to bilk me ? Surely they aren't going to suggest they can't manage my displayng offered options within the YT viewing system without having to repeat the download of the video ? It's only the FREAKING comment system - VERY low load. I'm being swindled. More soon. 

[Angeleye346]

wow!!! 

[byMamasPlace]

[dylmurray16]

[TheYoudontownme]

the two dislikes are satan and satans lover

[finnchick59]

This is perfection!!!

[JORDCIN1]

I am 100% straight but Im in LOVE with this woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[monnydite]

@JORDCIN1 Me too! I can't stop watching her!!!!!!

[MsTLB23]

i have goosebumps all over and im ballin like a baby im a mess!!!!This was amazing!!!BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[technocrash09]

I have listened to every kind of music there is in my 60 years and I have to say there are some singers out there who are extremely talented, soul wrenching, powerful singers. That being said, I do not feel there is anyone better than KD Lang on this song.............NONE! The power and soul she puts into it cannot be matched! *And I am not what you call a huge fan of hers*

peace

[marianware]

It fascinates me to watch kd when she hits her most powerful voice, she pulls the microphone about a foot a way from her mouth. Most singers today, if they actually sing, have a mic shoved almost inside their mouth all the time to compensate for their puny voice. kd truly possesses an incredible talent.

[vegasrenie]

@marianware You are so right. She has an incredible voice full of power and passion. A genuine talent. 

[TJwolowizard]

Watch and learn Justin bieber " that how u sing like a girl" I love u kd

[MrPreston49]

I love the way she sings and puts her soul into the song.

[jennyy56]

No one can sing this song like Kd Lang. Many have tried but fail miserably in comparison. I get chills when I hear her sing this. The most incredible rendition she gave was at the opening ceremonies at the last Winter Olympics in Vancouver. She brought the house to a roaring standing ovation.

[narminrose]

Listening to this is far better than having sex ... Love her natural look and her gentle presence ... OH GOD :)))

[2mnyidiots]

I have never really been a fan of K.D. Lang, however she has an absolutely beautiful voice. I'm really astonished when I sat back and listened to her amazing voice. Absolutely beautiful voice........

[brrynefin1946]

The amazing thing about this rendition of the song is the small backing group. it displays the real talent of K. D. Lang for what it is. Outstanding.

[gemgabb]

Great voice and great performance.  Quite a presence.

[Albigatnz]

SHe looks like Simon Cowell

[Jaybird196]

Beautiful! 

[jeaneen60]

She is a very talented and beautiful soul. Thank you for sharing this, so we can enjoy this glorious voice!

[RedneckReloaded]

this is hella good quality.

[hnoss13]

Wonderful performer.  Even more beautiful voice. Absolutely love, love, love, love it.

[johnnystir]

That last note was amazing.

[urantianwood]

Only half the verses ....

[urantianwood]

Skipped a couple verses

[gcmc2]

@urantianwood LOL... you couldn't perform them all. Chen wrote and plays with dozens of verses. He skips them, mixes and matches them himself for fun.

[vbigelow]

This is glorious.

I wish they could block out the silly people waving to the cameras outside.



[vbigelow]

Amazing rendition. 

[ponysports]

amazing, lot of goosebumps , I never heard this song better performed......

[cyedrysek]

If there is a God, k.d. speaks its voice...sooo beautiful....

[powderpuffnails]

kd lang is a amazing artist- blessed with a voice that is golden- she certainly knows how to bring a tear to my eye.. I love her so much ! Thank you for posting this . xoxo

[MizKitty1122]

There is NO one on earth who does this song better than K D Lang!

[nilsdrew]

what was that gay by choice remark, no gay teen in my day wanted to be gay. i am 52 and survived, love my fellow canuck, kd lang. so we are both gay, get over it

[MSKR111]

oops I've commented twice but how good is this!!

[MSKR111]

Best version of her singing this I've heard. Her eyes look so tired after that long flight but her voice is fantastic!

[MacScamp]

A fantastic version of Leonard Cohen's song by KDL, but I still think that Jeff Buckley's interpretation was the best EVER !!!! No-one could ever sing it or play it (guitar ) as well he could..............now that's a haunting version.............SUPERB !!!!

Have heard many different versions of this song and I think that KD 's interpretation comes a close 2nd .........after Jeff buckley of course !!!

[amjPeace]

so beautiful!

and let's hear it for the band, too

[ryxmail]

WOW!  nothing much else to say. She certainly has taken that song and owns it. beautiful. am i biased or just another proud canuck?

[ClumsyRoot]

I get goosebumps...

[MSKR111]

In my humble opinion this is her best version of this song. All respect from fliying to Australia and turning this out in the morning!! Love you KD

[relebee]

She's claimed this song by her interpretation of it. Unbelievably fantastic performance. As an Albertan, I am proud that she grew up here and became such an incredible and talented singer.

[emmanewf]

I am so proud to call this woman a fellow Canadian. She is the best that Canada has to offer.

[Vivi4629]

Beautiful......

[ixxxer]

Amazing!

[Sledpo2000]

Gay/straight, man/woman..,,,is this not a fantastic performance. Love this performer with a passion

[vistawaco]

Beautiful Heartfelt version... This song is wonderfully written and gives introspection of Love's pain and heartbreak ; but still Love is worthy of a "Hallelujah". Using some references to the story of David and Bathsheba, It's a Beautiful, Haunting, Complex and Spiritual song .... WoW does KD Lang give it Life! Forget her beliefs and preferences and just respect her God Given Talent.

Her Voice is of Angels and yes I too get teary eyed hearing this awesome example of Gods creation (KD Lang).

[flyingpanda117]

This is on God's ipod

[ditjesendatjes1]

@flyingpanda117 hello there you know i think you don't know what is feeling or music sorry 4 you ! Greats from the Nederland

Birgit

[cyedrysek]

I may never sing again! k.d. has the most perfect voice and talent...OMG!! She makes me sick....because I can't do this....beautiful, awesome, perfect.....

[ellessenzed]

I can't get enough of kd lang's version of Leonard Cohen's amazing song. The best rendition/ version EVER. I long for her to come back to New Zealand :)

[paul7986]

this is the best version/rendition on youtube. Ive watched and enjoyed them all. WoW KD Lang WoW!!!!

[gillybeans73]

Her voice just blows me away everytime I hear it. She is one talented lady.

[hunka007]

kd lang's version of one of the greatest songs ever written, demonstrates she is one of the greatest voices of modern times. Anyone interested in true talent, must have kd lang in their artist collection. I am so moved by her, I get teary listening to her God given talent.

[neptunecello]

I've been listening to KD's Hymns of the 49th Parallel, and it's my new favorite record. She is amazing.

[LifesonFan4Life]

In all seriousness though .. nobody sings like K..d .. NOBODY !!!

[LifesonFan4Life]

just kidding folks .. no one sings like K.d .. NO ONE !!!

[LifesonFan4Life]

Who knew Mario Lemieux could sing like that ? .. WOW !!!

[Pharikiba]

wow

[Bjoe455]

She is one of the best singers ever!Love this song and the way she sings it!Who cares if people are gay,lesbian,bi,tri,or anything thye are who they are and this right here KD Lang has a great talent and i have a love for her singing god bless you KD Lang

[randomvids888]

KD LANG sings this song like no other.... What a performer! What a voice, I've heard this song many many times and I'm still moved by the performaces of this outstanding entertainer....Thanks KD!

[vanillatwist1970]

I could listen to kd 24 hours a day,and I would love to wrap my arms around her. She is the sexest lady a live.

[MrsMonaco2]

i don't even like this song normally, but when i heard her at the Olympics, i had to stop what i was doing, and i never wanted it to end. She is so incredible, and so beautiful...long live kd Lang!!

[davefxfox]

DA BEST !!!! 100%

[eldiabloblue]

She has a beautiful voice.

[grantgalea]

What an incredible singer ! What a great song !

[TheBunDuct]

one voice manages to make one word sound like a plea, a cry of despair, a shout of redemption, a victory roar, a sob of love and human hope..what a voice, what a word for humanity..Gratitude to generous gift of kd lang and the creative word of leonard cohen.

[devonvanna]

Extraordinary performance.

[Mansawn]

i really think the only word to describe this is, Perfection.

[donnahill1026]

She is, without a doubt, one of the greatest voives of our time. I don't care what she is or what you think about her....she is beautiful.

[goblinonacloud]

For me, Lenord outdid himself with this song and again, for me? No one else should EVER sing this again but kd. Holy crap. I have goosebumps! whew!

[goblinonacloud]

@goblinonacloud sorry that should be Leonard. lol

[sharon1366]

excelentttttttttttt

[savannahwolsey008]

Gives me chills everytime I hear her sing this!!!

[italndiva]

Why are those idiots outside waving. This is an amazing performance and those people are bothering me. I would mace them.... laughing!!

[sharon1366]

@italndiva they are the public outside the television studio where kd land sung they r waving so they can be seen on television,they arent allowed inside.

[vamp471]

It is the most beautiful version of this song I've ever heard. It's even better than the version on her CD!

[GAclay]

i watch this video practically every day. k.d. lang's voice uplifts the soul.

thanks dewco73!

[triptoheaveandho]

every verson she does of this song is astounding and each a bit different in its own way she is an incredly gifted human

[bron1955]

Can listen to this repeatedly. Brilliant and such purity in her voice

[FelidaeAnne]

Gänsehaut.

[kjmarchese]

I cannot get enough of this song!!! She is amazing!!

[1awaken33]

Thank you for posting this..if there is a heaven up above, I hope it sounds as good as this..

[alivingsecret]

omg I get chills every time kd sings this song!

[gradman62]

A true Canadian Treasure....Brought tears to my eyes during the opening cerimonies VANCOUVER 2010...

[scrubbs911]

What in the world does her sexual orientation have to do with anything? She has a God given talent that she uses to entertain people and she is an absolute treasure to the music industry and she should be addressed as one of the most talented and inspiring artists of this time.

[fstopme]

This is my favorite version of all her live performances.

[kgraham15]

i sweat to god, the woman never f*ing falters! she's so talented!

[CaroleSNewZealand]

I have listened to kd since 1987 (Shadowland rocked my little world). As I read in a post elsewhere, kd is the

poet(ess) laureate in the musical word. She will forever be my heroine.

[jtownvids]

AMAZING voice!!!!!

[MrTomRaymond]

dont matter if gay or straight, she has a gift, and thats her voice, I would sit in front of her all night listening to that song, she does have talent, and thats what counts

[thrillsbabygirl]

@MrTomRaymond  i think im addicted to her voice. she is a wonderful singer

[kjmarchese]

I too must admit I am addicted..she is wonderful, her voice is amazing!!!

[julie0026]

Awesome rendition...wow

[hope299]

A wonderful performance by a Canadian treasure - a worthy addition to the vancouver opening ceremonies!

[MomIsMyAngel]

Beautiful.....I am speechless!

[dewco73]

Sorry everyone but am a little over the 'gay by choice' argument going on in here so have deleted the relevant comments. Please appreciate this woman for the brilliant talent she is. Enough said.

[MrTomRaymond]

thats right, she has a gift that touches others, and I am against gayism, but damn she is good, love her voice

[MizKitty1122]

@dewco73 AMEN!

[Farren1963]

@dewco73 Get with the years you idiot.

[ReasonsItrust]

@dewco73 Yes, good for you. Amazing how petty people can be in the face of this amazing talent (not to mention a good person). You just keep deleting the jerks.

[RNVal]

what's with the bickering? She's gay, I personally don't condone that lifestyle. Is anyone listening to what she's singing?......."Hallelujah"

[bizintin]

KD Lang's video from last night has been removed, "copy write infringement" due to Olympic guidelines. Other videos from Olympics still on YouTube. Anyone know what that's about? TV showed few closeups of her, two of them on her back&one briefly as she was bending forward with only brief glance of her face. I am sad. In hour of singing there were 350 views,when taken off , less than day later, 42,561! Is it just more of same, diminishing Lesbian women? Or am I paranoid?

[jayman21594]

She is an amazing singer no doubt = ) and she really showed the world, the power of Canadian Talent last night. Go Canada !! and I have to say I am partly disgusted at some of the comments on the video, we are all humans, regardless of how we live our lives, have some respect!

[LuvYaYUTube]

Unbelievably talented Opening Ceremonies SPFX - Yaaay Canada! We shine & rule once again

:-) RIP Nodar - sooooo tragic

[kozseluham]

KD stole the show last night at the opening ceremonies - she blew away all the rest including Sara & Bryan .

It was a truly moving performance .....

[CBR900RR4U2NV]

If her performance at the opening ceremonies didn't move you, then you must be dead inside. I'm an atheist and I don't approve of homosexuality, but even I can't deny that I was taken aback.

[bravo90078]

This is the recording they used at the olympics right? Otherwise she's a bit of a freak then because it's exactly the same performance.

[duintje14]

Nope, the lyricks used at the olympic opening ceremony were partly about Canada and it's flag. It was live performed.

[LuvYaYUTube]

how can you say its exactly the same? She was in Vancouver last night in a white suit, sang the song a bit slower than this version and with even more feeling (if possible!) and DEFINITELY stole the show! She is THE BEST singer of Hallelujah, alongside Cohen. Furtado looked ridiculous-I thought she was going to fall off those platform spikes! Bryan couldn't show off his talent singing with her! The music to "Oh Canada" was bastardized, but the singing of it was great.

[spatzy]

Fully agreed!!

[ladyweatherwax]

WOW. Seconded. Perfect.

[192corey]

WOW

[lynchian]

Seriously, every music fan should listen to this.... just once.... to see how it is DONE.....

[zozotennisfreak]

wow 2:41-2:50.....Amazing....

[TheTwohusbands]

Her Soul shines so brightly through her awesome voice amid a very distracting world! We saw her live at the State Theatre in Easton, Pennsylvania, USA. What an electrifying evening that was!

[PinkGuitarWoman]

I saw her live in Adelaide Australia a few years ago, what an absolute treat the woman's voice is unbelievable ! Mesmerising

[yerwhogivesa]

awsome voice but wish she took it a bit higher in some parts other then that perfect.

[dirkworld]

what would have been the point? the song is written this way.

going higher might have been gratuitous and unnecessary.

here she sings the song with unparalleled passion. Like all songs should be sung. No need for melisma.

[lte032]

Magnifique performance malgré les cons en arriière plan.

[wonnachat]

I never get tired of listening this beautiful song, with its haunting lyric!

[jack4125]

The people ouside don't help

[hnoss13]

A siren that is truly haunting. Her voice draws out such emotion and it is so powerful and gentle at the same time. She glows with such feeling and shines. Amazing and so beautiful.

[ultranat]

I Love This Song !!!!!!!!

Love u KD Lang

[Nice2CUQQ]

seen her perform this song many times, all are excellent, but this one, wow!

[DizzDaShizz]

Absolutely magnificent voice. I don't think there is any woman alive who can best her. Her voice sends shivers up my spine. Gorgeous.

[Pacabelle]

How can a person have such a beautiful soaring voice like this in the morning??

[jmfanclub]

KD Lang really does have a beautiful voice. People can give her as much bad talk about looking like a man as they want, she has a magnificent voice!

[fryslan01]

I had never heard of kd lang before until I saw her on Sunrise in my hotel room, the last morning I was in Sydney before heading back to Holland. It was not before I came home when I discovered that kd lang was actually a woman... Nevertheless, she has a great voice and I really enjoy this video, thanks dewco73 for putting this on YouTube.

[kdlanguidfan]

could i please encourage you to search out kd lang on you tube- you will not be sorry I promise you- for you will discover she is without doubt the finest female vocalist of this generation.

[breakgive]

@kdlanguidfan You are so right.

[bizintin]

@fryslan01

With respect, I would like to say she is an amazing woman. I am deeply moved that we all can be beautiful in our own special way. Blessing to you.

[Jenko1965]

I saw this program (Sunrise)and watched this version sung by kd lang. I really enjoyed emotion that she put into the song.
