The best rendition of this song that I have ever heard was also KD Lang but at the 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games opening ceremonies. This is a must watch/listen. When her vocals kick in for that performance you could physically feel the breath come out of all 60,000 people attending. It was absolutely amazing.

Great reaction. K D does an amazing cover of Roy Orbison’s song “Crying”. There is a video of Roy and K D performing a duet of this song.

I am a 79 year old white woman. I had an interesting experience watching you while listening to this. All of a sudden I was aware that we were feeling very similar things in response to it and twice I realized we both took one of those long soulful breaths at the same place in the song. Why is this so noteworthy? I realized we were connected on a very human level and at this moment we were very similar, we were not different. We were not black and white, male or female, old or young, we were divine creations in sync-connected by something bigger than the both of us. Thank You

In my opinion, her absolute best performance of Hallelujah is from the opening ceremonies at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver. Being Canadian, I treasure that two of the most talented musicians are also Canadian - Leonard Cohen, who I got to see in concert when he was 76 was soooo amazing, and k.d. lang, who is off-the-charts amazing, has been an icon for so many years. I am surprised that you had never heard of her prior to listening to this concert. Believe me, Canadian artists are so underated and are so worthy of a listen. Congratulations for recognizing these talents and showcasing them on your channel. I came across it quite by accident. CHILLS - TREMBLES - GOOSEBUMPS - That's our k.d. singing to us.

He also told Jon Bon Jovi that his cover was the best. I don't know the timing. I love k.d. Lang, and I hated the way country music treated her when she came out as being gay. BUT, I like Jon's cover better, it's a live version before the surgery that messed up his throat. I got mad at him when I learned that he still smoked. All of us '80s kids get passes on some things. We didn't know what smoking did long-term to you back in the day. Our music and our movies are what the new generation is trying to "improve" on. You can't improve on perfection so they need to think up some of their new sh*t. But, he knows what addiction is and cigarettes are an addiction that will kill you. Ask Eddie Van Halen, may he rest in peace, it started with smoking. He should've stopped smoking once we knew it could kill you! He's got enough money for whatever treatment plan was required. But, it's sad to listen to him try to sing their anthem songs. He can't do it anymore. He needs to change the arrangements around to fit this new voice or write new songs. Something has to change. I know it's getting close to the holidays, and the New Year, so he should make a New Year's Resolution to stop smoking and keep it! Maybe the gift he was born with could be returned if the house was finally clean. But, the way he sings it live, gives me chills. You should go look it up.

She was extra cast out when she came out against meat. The province she’s from has a huge beef industry, and she was vocal in being vegetarian (this was in the late 80s I think, and that term covered pretty much all vegan/vegetarianism) and anti-meat production. You would have thought she was the Antichrist. She was just unapologetically herself, and I think she’s amazing.

This woman's voice could break your heart . She's got more than a gift !

This performance was the #1 hit of the Leonard Cohen Tribute-- she brought the house down.... so many performers on that show.

She sang Crying at the Roy Orbison memorial concert and it was incredible. A 4 minute standing ovation.

KD is one of the best singers ever. She is a legend. Everything she does is moving and incredible. Her country songs are incredible.

Two iconic Canadians, KD Land and Leonard Cohen. RIP Leonard

That she just stopped performing was an absolute tragedy. She has the most amazing voice.

One of the most beautiful voices in music in the last 50 years or more. An interpreter, with full mastery and control of a song.

This is the most personalized rendition of this song. Vocalized by someone who has loved and sacrificed and lost. A mature understanding of the glory, and joy, and heartbreak, that is loving someone else.

The Olympics version was even better than this one. The emotion of singing for her country was heightened

I love this song!! She sang it even better at the 2010 Olympic’s!! ❤

70 year old hear. KD Lang's Hallelujah is INCREDIABLE!! I have watched several different performances over and over for years now. A lot a people don't realize, Leonard Cohen wrote several different verses to this song. Many of these verses have never been heard.

Leonard Cohen declared after he heard KD do this song that he didn't know it when he wrote it decades ago but that nobody, not even himself, could sings this like KD. Her performing this song in front of Leonard Cohen is so moving. Just seeing the master take her hands at the end and give a little bow over them makes me cry every time.

Leonard Cohen was one amazing poet and songwriter, but his voice was (in my opinion, only) not able to recognise the fullest extent of beauty in his songs. He could convey emotion well enough, but it's like comparing a pop singer's rendition of Nessum Dorma to Pavarotti's.

@@deathandcats I don't deny that but even angels can't make a really badly written song move the soul. I don't think Mr Cohen ever described himself as a singer; a poet yes, many times. And that's what he was. Canada's poet; he will be forever missed.

Nobody ever reacts to it, but her version of Cole Porter's "So In Love" from the Red, Hot, and Blue AIDS Benefit Album is the most beautiful, heartbreaking thing you will ever hear.

As a Canadian, thanks so much for covering a Canadian artist. One of the aspects I love so much about her rendition of Hallelujah is the tension she played with. It was like an elastic band, pushing and pulling and playing at all the right times. Peace.

KD Lang is a purest in vocals, nobody sings like her, absolute joy to close your eyes and soak it in.

Leonard the poet and KD the interpreter. Such a beautiful voice

You absolutely cannot go wrong with any song by kd. She is amazing and so humble. She could sing the phone book and I’d listen to it.

k d. Lang is a Canadian 🇨🇦 treasure, who began her career in western Canada, city of Edmonton ( my hometown) she adored / worshipped Roy Orbison as well as Patsy Cline & has done incredible covers of their songs, waiting for you to discover 🥰. Her performance of Hallelujah at Vancouver, BC Olympics is astounding, this version you played is also wonderful ☮️🇨🇦

The most smokey sultry voice ever and the perfect pairing with Tony Bennett. ❤❤❤

The first time I heard her sing this I was driving home. Had to pull over and just sat to listen. I was by a river and it was a beautiful afternoon. I didn't realize until the song was over that my cheeks were wet from tears. This is a beautiful version, and she has a beautifully velvet voice.

Isn’t she fabulous! I discovered her in my 20’s. I’m in my 70s now and was just as wonderful listening to her again.

I've had the good fortune to hear KD sing that song live 4 times - each time it's totally amazing - she is a brilliant singer 💗

I'm almost 58 years old. I've heard them all from the 50's to modern day. KD Lang is my ALL TIME favorite female singer. Her power, clarity and gorgeously full voice just gets me.

k.d. lang is a rare breed of artist. She sings with her entire mind, body, and soul - she always has.

Leonard Cohen and his girlfriend/backup singer were at that concert. In an extended version of this video, K.D. Lang acknowledged him, and he was proud of her.

Covered in chills from my head to my toes. THAT'S A SINGER! I'm emotional.

Little footnote. She doesn't use capital letters in her name - I read it in a biography but can't remember why. Hers is still the best concert I've seen in 30 years.

I met KD when she was still dancing in punk rock hair, western boots and an old school western ladies outfit like Loretta Lynn. She was performing at the Longhorn in Calgary. She outperformed so many acts you could go back everyday night and she was different. Followed her for a lifetime.

She is so humble I love K. D you should listen to her covering Roy Orbison Crying

KD Lang has been around for years and just keeps getting better. Fantastic voice and stage presents. Listen to her sing "Crying" it will blow your mind.

kd lang is one of the greatest voices EVER. she is an incredible artist, and an incredible woman. she was openly gay way back in the late 80's/early 90's, right from the start of her career. this was so bold and so brave of her, as this was still a time when performers just did not do such things. kd always had so much talent, and so much depth to her soul and connection to singing, that her coming out didn't hold her back, really. the public saw and heard what she could do, and they embraced her. I've seen her in concert twice, and she is one of the best live performers I have ever seen. both concerts gave her a standing ovation after "crying" mid-show! the only time I've seen a mid-show standing ovation at a concert like that. and one show was at radio city music hall, so it was all of those people! we all stood and cheered. her version of "crying" is on this same level as "hallelujah". it is a fusion of singer and song and soul that reaches another level of greatness,. definitely check out her cover of Roy Orbison's "crying". either the mtv unplugged video or her singing at a Roy Orbison tribute when she was really young. they are both brilliant performances. also the original video for "pulling back the reigns" is incredible. this is from about 1989/90, it was one of her first videos. it is amazing to see how right from the start she knew who she was, and what her gifts were. the video for "pulling back the reigns" shows us who she is, and what she can do for us. it is a great performance. her more commercial stuff like "constant craving" and "miss chatelaine" are also wonderful. kd is always her own, specific artist. in each one of these songs/videos she has a very specific look she is working with, and then always that gorgeous huge voice is at her command. I feel lucky to be alive when kd lang is turning out her art. she has made my life a better place.

The greatest female vocalist of my lifetime and the best version of this song.
