  • i really like your voice omg..beautiful..

  • k d is all you need.........

  • all I got to say is, WOW!!!!

  • just incredible

  • Goose bumps! 

  • She gets you where it hurts with this ....

  • I´ve start crying as I heard this version. But not only by the song. I´ve lost my Dog 4 days ago in a Carcrash and I miss her so very much! In loving memory of my beloved Dog "Lilly".

  • I love all 3 versions of this song. RIP Roy Orbison, my Dad introduced me to your music and it has a special place in my heart. Beautiful,sad song.

  • She's phenomenal

  • Wow.

  • kd steps up to the plate & knocks it out of the park again!

  • she starts me crying.....

  • THE MOST BEAUTIFUL VOICE...SUNG WITH REAL EMOTION....FROM HER HEART....I LOVE HER....SHE IS A GIFT FROM GOD!!!!

  • Wow..what a powerful voice!

  • One of the greatest country voices!

  • A lady in an ugly black dress with no background singers or dancers knocks the crap out of this song. I'm crying.

  • @shetaz905 Unverified, but long ago I heard that when the tribute show was being planned, someone who didn't like kd lang arranged for her to have a tiny dressing room with no mirror. She responded to that indignity by getting the only standing ovation of any solo that night. THAT is class.

  • did'nt think anybody could touch roy,but what passion K D puts into this song

  • I found this video. She sang. I started crying when I heard how she projected this song. Man, what a voice!!

  • She is my # one female singer, and she can make me cry with her woice,lol :-) Love you KD.

  • the intro guy sounds like such a dick. lucky KD saved it, again..

  • Anyone know where this was taped ? What album is this performance on ?

  • CHILLS!!!!!!! =)

  • 11 people out there have never cried over a luv lost tsk tsk

  • My grandma introduced me to K D Lang, although I already knew about her through the fact she's gay and used to date leisha hailey :L I haven't even come out to my grandma yet, now I'm wondering if this is a subtle way of telling me that she knows and is fine with it :') this is also fuelled by the fact that she keeps going on about some lesbian couple on corination street :L

  • One in a damned million! 

  • She is a truly handsome woman

  • k d lang for Governor General!!!!!!!

  • fantastic

    

  • In my opinion K D has one of the top forty female voices of the past sixty years. Her talent is up there with Judy Garland, Sarah Vaughn, Ella Fitzgerald, Billie Holiday, Barbra Streisand, Jennifer Hudson, Mariah Carey, Beyonce and a select list of others. Shirley Bassey and Dolly Parton have that great gift as well. These singers send chills down my spine. Please put up the names of some of your favorite singers who have the emotional, extended range vocal ability of K D Lang.

  • @HandwhistlerBen Check out Patty Griffin if you haven't already. Her voice is unparalleled.

  • @HandwhistlerBen KD always reminds me of Patsy Cline. I think Patsy belongs on the list (my two cents) :)

  • @55lisadiane I agree with you! Patsy had a voice and style all her own, and passed much too soon. I handwhistled "Crazy" in Patsy's style on my Channel Page. Happy New Year!

  • @HandwhistlerBen Thanks for responding and a Happy New Year to you too!

  • This women sends chills down my spine.

  • I came to check out who was KD lang because of a song of NOFX... that is... well quite a surprise...

  • Is KD LANG a he or a she?

  • @worldchampion1986 r u 4 real?? very immature comment, did you bother to listen to HER voice? i m thinking NOT or her appearance would not have mattered and P.S. she is hot and sexy and beautiful etc. etc.

  • shapeless dress, big flat feet, but who really looks at her other than other women. Really masterful rendering of a Roy Orbison son. She really handles the "highs", wow.

  • @reynaldbell and guess what?? her dress and feet really don't matter then do they?

  • @rainspirit100 It seems i have personally offend an investor. Don't be so sensitive, K D Lang probably doesn't give a shit what i think of her appearence, or your defense of it, hmmmm? .

  • @reynaldbell .... What she thinks doesn't matter, The comments are ours. Get over your self... Idiot.

  • amazing

  • Wonderful!!

  • WOW she is amazing, so few really good singers out there today.

  • She'll never top Roy, but she captured the passion, the heartache within this song. . .beautiful. . .

  • Absolutely incredible. Rips my heart out everytime.

  • The arrangement of this song is very similar to the arrangement used by Don McLean in his hit cover version of it back in 1980 or so ... slower than the original by Roy Orbinson but in many ways it packs a bigger punch than the original. I think K D Lang and Don McLean are the only singers who come close to Roy Orbinson in pure emotion. Amazing, thanks for posting it.

  • BREATHTAKING!!

  • phew...........so much emotion, and a beautiful voice.

  • class singer ..... thank you! xxxx

  • mum cries when she is happy....when she hears kd. she cries. her voice brings joy. it is so powerful.

  • Watch how she moves the mic away from her face when she really projects. That's because she has a true voice. This is how it's done, folks.  This is what talent looks like.

  • This makes me want to punch every preteen that thinks Ke$ha is talented.

  • :,(

  • Almost want to cry when I hear how great she ings for sure!

  • So astonishingly, breathtakingly good that it is frightening. K.D.'s version takes your breath away and gives you chills. The way she can make her voice sound like a wailing human voice in pain (while still sounding beautiful) is the sign of an exceptional world class artist. A million thanks, Ms. Lang.

  • Very few people on this planet can do this Orbison song and do it the justice it deserves. KD Lang is one of them.

  • Her voice is like velvet chocolate and no one on the planet can outmatch her.  Sublime and heavenly.

  • What a breathtaking performance this is!

  • She does the song justice....beautiful!!!!

  • Oh wow! I have never seen or heard this - it gave me goosebumps! *AWESOME*

  • I agree with JackieHurn--hurts the heart is so good...

  • She hurts my heart; she's so good.

  • i couldn't hav said it better

  • @JackieHurn OMG I always say this about the best.

  • music sung from the soul touches the soul

  • Before Adele there was KD Lang......

  • @lothlorien88 there still is K D Lang

  • @lothlorien88 Adele is no match for kd, who actually can sing a full range of dynamics.

  • @lothlorien88 Adele ain't got nothing on her!

  • Her talent did not result from her sexuality.

  • @TheHotTunes one of the best comments i have seen on ANY of the kd lang video sites, thank you

  • I love this video so much...i have watched it a hundred times i'm sure and she still moves me to tears...she is amazing!

  • are there REALLY 9 people who dislike this? come on someone needs 2 be sedated

  • jerseytomato100 , Amen, well said. She is incredible. But, why do they clap while she is singing?

  • @goodtogonow3 they are clapping for her ability to hit the notes she does with the intensity she has, it's common for audiences to appreciate with clapping the talent they are seeing/hearing

  • simply amazing.......

  • ...Just to say...She´s Wonderful

  • Is that Jerry Seinfeld in the opening??? It looks a lot like him. Also, K.D. Lang sings with a voice that conveys the collective heartache and longing of humanity, past and present. But there's also an individual aspect as well, as if we're hearing her own heart bleed and gush with each note from the memory of a lost love. Brilliant performance.

  • k.d. lang has one of the most beautiful voices i have ever heard. She gives me chills. So talented :) Love alll of her renditions ! Thank you for this post! x

  • All these teenyboppers and Gagas and Katy Perrys and Madonnas and Mileys should be bowing at k.d.'s feet and praying they had 1/10th the talent she has.

  • Thanks for posting this anderson0129--nice find!

  • We can put a man on the moon,but can't put one on KD Lang.

  • One great singer.

  • God she is so freakin hot :)

  • THE MORE I LISTEN TO LANG, THE MORE I ENJOY HER SINGING! THIS SINGER IS SUPURB, AND NOTHING ELSE. TO THOSE THAT VICIOUSLY TALK ILL ABOUT HER, DON'T FOCUS ON HER PERSONAL LIFE, BUT RATHER, ON THE QUALITY OF A SINGER AND PERFORMER THAT SHE IS. LANG SINGS WITH HEART IN HAND.

  • Awesome KD.....

  • Damn. Roy would be proud of that rendition. (and yes, I know they sang a duet of it).

  • I had never really known KD Lang and her music....but now that I've found her, I am going to be a big fan....her voice is stunning....loaded with emotion...she can really put over a song the way it was meant to be.....she does great justice to Roy Orbison with this wonderful rendition of Crying..

  • She is absolutely WONDERFUL!!!

  • she's a gift to us from God...her voice is wonderful.

  • a beautiful voice.. she can reach all the high notes wit a lot of feeling/emotions ;) :)

  • I remember when this aired. I didn't know kd lang at all because I wasn't a big country fan (which is what she was mostly doing then). She literally brought down the house. She is just one of those great rare singers that has an incredibly powerful voice but sings with such musicality and control. And her breath control is freaking amazing. There are times where I wonder if she's actually doing some kind of circular breathing.

  • what's with all this hatin'?

  • Comment removed

  • @fags2test4aids no one said you had to like but you certainly posted alot of dirt on here so apparently you must like her or you wouldn't be here trying to convince yourself that you don't. people like you who post this kind of hatred and vitreole just need to go back under your dirty rock that you crawled out from and leave the world in peace.

  • @fags2test4aids Lol @ you for deleting my comment on your channel. Proves that you're a bible thumping, gay bashing, dickhead.

  • OMG, her voice melts me EVERYTIME! What an amazing instrument.

  • SO TALENTED WOT A PERFORMER

  • it is a woman? what the hell!

  • it was her favorite op-shop dress from before she became MEGA...for that reason i love it

  • I adore k.d. but I hate that friggin' dress...it makes her look like Tobey Maguire in drag.

  • @TheFangoriaFan LOL!!!! i love kd, but you're totally right :)

  • Suzie, I have heard this song, as well as many of her others, and I love her. Her voice is the key that opens the portal to passions, memories, and hopes when you hear her sing. One of my favorites, in which she does not employ her vocal power, but still projects her emotional power, is "My Last Cigarette." True genius.

  • I love the blue rays of light behind KD Lang @ the end of the song!so powerful!

  • She's a GREAT singer!!

  • I'm a fag and I'm praying for all the fag-haters out there...they need it more than I do.

  • 9 people must be crying right now - how can ANYONE not like this song? what a voice

  • In My Humble Option . . . K.D. (and I don't mean Kraft Dinner  :)!!!

    . . . will always be on my top 10 list of Canadian Talent!!!

  • does it get any better than this. thanks K D

  • What an absolutely fantastic voice and woman, love her talent!!

    

  • WOW ...what a great performance

  • Beautiful song interpreted by a beautiful voice!

  • kd langs voice is the gold standard of music

  • This woman is off the charts good.

  • K.D. Lang did a fabulous job as back-up singer for my idol Roy O. I especially loved her rendition of my fave Orbison 's "Dream Baby" ... Cheers K.D. you've got what it takes!

  • there's 9 people who should be crying

  • THIS WOMAN IS ABSOLUTELY FAB AND DEFINITELY THE BEST FEMALE VOCALIST OF OUR TIME

  • Isn't this lovely??

  • fck that audience

  • To those who dislike people NOT like them. God gave her a talent that most people would for.What a great artist

  • The three greatest singers I've ever heard: judy garland, jacques brel, and k.d. lang.

  • This has to touch the heart of everyone who has ever "carried a torch" for someone and never gotten over the unreturned feelings. It takes me back everytime and I loved and lost 48 years ago. I'm just glad I loved!!!

  • @pensacolaaccents you said it all, 45yrs in my case, will never forget though, also k d lang did superbly well

  • It's almost unfair for one person to have this much talent! Her performances give me goosebumps every time (and more than once!) And even with the talent she has, she remains humble and gracious.  Truly a Canadian gem.

  • Can't we all just get along? Sheesh this is a great song covered beautifully by someone very talented. That's it, no race, no gender, no skin color, no sexual orientation. Good music is just that, learn to love, just for music/art's sake ♥. I love it no matter if gay, straight, body shape, skin color, its music we can all connect to people.

    Thank you ♥

  • @fags2test4aids Since when has it been your place to judge? Leave the judgment to those qualified to do it, namely God.

  • @fags2test4aids you are a piece of shit, you should belong to the westboro baptist church, they seem to be as fucking retarded as you, quote me some 'god' shit if you want , i don't care, if your god is that hateful then fuck him to

  • @opium7prince : I don't understand how such dirt and venomc and blasphemy could come out of such a beautiful song sung by such a nice girl as K.D.

    She would not appreciate this neither.

  • Oh, sad person, with all your hatred...you will learn in this life or the next...karma comes to call...however, really confused about why you'd even select her to listen to...And, someone who is SO homophobic has some closets to clean, honey. 

  • God, in His endless mercy, does not hate, but is hurt by his fallen, ignorant children. In your heart: Love,Peace, & Forgiveness.

  • fabulous at singing this song very meaningful enjoyed it very much.xx

  • Unbelieveable!!!!!!!!!

  • i love her!

  • one of the best GOD GIVEN voices in todays world of music...judge not lest you be judged...in other words let God do is His job and mind your own p's q's. hate has no place in heaven as you will find out.

  • @fags2test4aids Wow! I thought religion was about love and acceptance-my bad!

  • OH MY GOD WHAT A VOICE .TRUE BEAUTY IN EVERY NOTE . THERE IS NOTHING THAT THIS ARTIST COULD SING THAT WOULD BE BE MADE BETTER BECAUSE OF IT!!!!!!!LOVE .LOVE HER VOICE.

  • Brilliant as usual

  • absolutely gorgeous!!!!! touching!

  • Absoutely beautifu!!!

  • Best performance of this great song.

  • @MrMajun1 Nobody does it like Roy, but absolutely breathtaking nonetheless.

  • i saw her singing this at the nec in birmingham and it was awesome - as was her version of what's new pussycat

  • LMAO@ Haters. If God so HATED the "Gay" People than why the Hell did HE give Most of them so Much TALENT. Maybe GAYS are GOD's Chosen LMAO. I'm Proud that k.d.lang is CANADIAN and I don't give a Good GodDamn who she choses as a Mate as long as SHE is Happy. She is a GIFT just enjoy the Voice for it's ANGELIC.

  • @suzieq0452 I'm going to go one step further. I'm proud that she's gay and doesn't hide it. That takes courage and integrity and it gave thousands of us courage to be ourselves too.

  • @issyvoo2 I saw her perform Hallelujah in concert and I myself forgot to breath. It was unspeakably amazing.

  • Comment removed

  • @suzieq0452 and remember, God doesn't make mistakes!! so to all u haters, chew on that

  • @suzieq0452 I agree. I don't usually like this type of music, but you can't deny her talent. She played at my sons school last night. He had no idea who she was, but he ejoyed the concert immensely.

  • @suzieq0452

    What,s Being GAY got to do with Talent.

    There PEOPLE ! with talent.

  • @suzieq0452 I just read your comment- I wish we had more people like you in the world. Now for the music- this has been a favorite of mine since 1962- However this performance leaves me in awe.

  • KD sure nailed it !

  • Can I just say....WOW!!!

  • she is soooooooooooo amazing!!

  • I have been trying to learn the words for this song (not that I could come even close to KDs voice) but every time I try to sing it, I burst into tears(I think its a combination of my terrible voice, and the emotion she puts into it..Especially towards the end

  • AND SO WHAT IF SHE HAS DIFFERENT PREFERENCES¡¡ HER TALENT CAN'T BE DENIED. THIS WORLD WOULD BE A BETTER PLACE IF WE STOP SEEING THE NEIGHBOR FAULTS, INSTEAD IMPROVING OURSELVES. WE ALL CAN'T HAVE FOR GRANTED, WE MAY NOT HAVE IN OUR FAMILIES SOME RELATIVE, WITH THOSE PREFERENCES. "WHAT GOES AROUND COMES AROUND"

  • Nasty people, what about the voice and the song...instead of her sex. Guess this is the first time you ever heard of K.D. or you wouldn;t be so rude to comment.

  • She just blows me away. No background vocalists or dancers grinding away. This lady just sings her heart out in a simple black dress and kind of goofy shoes and steals your heart away. Crying.

  • wow! thats my singer!

  • Since I first saw you singing country at Will Rogers in Dallas, then later in Dallas again.....I just keep buying your cd's and loving you more each and every day...God Bless you, KD, girlie.....!

  • If ever I was going to turn for a woman, it would be you K.D. This song makes me cry buckets.

  • @mskarenq1 I think she is gay also. Don't really know for sure tho.

  • Love you KD............

  • Magnifica.

  • This is just flat-out incredible. I had to listen to it several times; sometimes with my eyes closed to let the music take me, sometimes with my eyes open to watch k d's face and body move and change with the music. Wow... just... wow.

  • Or maybe as early as 89

    

  • I think this was approx 1993 stinger139

  • not bad for a beginner? you must be kidding jd knows how to deliver a song any song this woman is real class do you know any better? i think not

  • It's so awesome seeing such a little tomboy come out and have such a WOMANLY voice!

    She's so adorable.

  • Not bad for a beginner

  • @stinger139 nice post, for a retard.

  • A.M.A.Z.I.N.G.

  • When was this?
