She has been one of my favorite singers for many years. Even when she sang songs with a more country sound ( and I do not like country western)

Awesome A totally different one is KD LANG SINGING Miss "Chatelaine"

She has such control over her breathing! That last verse she holds for 22 seconds. THAT'S Power!

Check out her slow torch song, My Last Cigarette, from her Drag album, and you'll see her power on a whole different level. Slower, more muted, but emotionally devastating.

She is a musical instrument!!!

Well said, Ruth - she IS!

If this doesn't getcha, you can't get got. She is underappreciated for sure. This is a Roy Orbison classic. I've been listening to kd since "Ultimate Torch and Twang". Personal fave is a smaller gem: "Smoke Screen" from "Drag". Breaks my heart.

Why do you say she is underappreciated? She has a great career and probably sells out At every performance.

As for the Drag album, my very favorite is that slow, smoky torch ballad, My Last Cigarette. Also, check out the version of Crying she sang on a live tv show in australia in front of a studio audience of 50-60 somethings with the studio band. She could have thought, eh, I don't need to work hard, they won't know the difference, but that's not kd. It's one of my all time favorite kd performances. She gives and gives, no matter what.

Thank you for mentioning Roy Orbison, he was also a very unique talent. I was tipped off to KD's talent maybe 87-88 by some trendy lesbians I knew. She was like the Beatles, but for women in comfortable shoes.

Thank you for this. KD is a Canadian treasure that we love to share with the world.

And the world is grateful! Truly.

Also, as a Gay Canadian man.......from the same generation.....she is very well trained.....she sang as a child ...and she is very .....she is breaking my fucking heart.

She is phenomenal! Never heard a combination of raw power and total control like that other than k.d. lang. One of a kind voice!

I put both Karen Carpenter and KD Lang in the top female vocalists of all time. We lost Karen 40 years ago but her voice will shine for eternity. With KD, many of her fans are thankful she is still with us and her music, like Karen's, will be forever in our hearts and souls. I cry every time I hear these two extremely gifted talented ladies. My favorite song is this rendition of KD's of "Crying" and of course you can't help but stand in awe - with tears flowing down your face. Humanity has been blessed. So thankful.

She did a tour in Australia, and sang Crying on a live tv show, without rehearsing, with a studio band, in front of a studio crowd of middle-aged Aussies, and blew the song away.

That final note proves she has the lung capacity of a blue whale. I saw her do this one live, back at this time and it was mind-blowing. Lovely person, too, and her own material is exceptional.

Her lung capacity blows the mind and that voice…she’s just amazing. Yet she appears to be a very humble human being.

Keep forgetting, how insane her breath control is, lol. She can hold a note for five years!

Very few live performances reach this level of perfection-- kd checks all the boxes in this one. Great reaction, Prez!

Make sure you also watch her tribute to the song's originator, Roy Orbison right after he passed. Its a couple levels above this.

When KD sings I feel her sensitivity, pain and joy, a beautiful storyteller with song. She can sing jazz, country, contemporary, pop. She's so humble too, in her documentary.

KD is a Canadian icon with a voice of an angel

She covers a Patsy Cline classic on the Tonight Show. You have to watch her do three cigarettes in an ashtray on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson.

Definitely a must view performance!!!

She’s a genuine master vocalist and performer, we’re lucky to be alive when she is☺️ This song and her Vancouver Hallelujah bring me to tears every time. Now that you’ve seen this version, find her 10-20 years later singing Crying at the Roy Orbison tribute (after he passed) The audience leaps to a standing ovation to thank and cheer her for a lifetime of sharing her incredible, soulful talent with us. See how she is humbly, beautifully, overwhelmed ♥️

Thank you. Her voice is phenomenal and I've always thought that she didn't get enough attention.

I’ve always thought she wasn’t as appreciated because she was a lesbian. 25 years ago people weren’t as accepting of peoples life styles. Of course we still have a long way to go. So many favorite songs, but if you haven’t heard her western/cowboy album, you are in for a treat.

WOW WOW WOW!!!!!!! Stunning vocals. This got me she sang it with such emotion that I am Crying. Beautiful song created by a legend Mr Roy Orbison who is looking down from heaven smiling at this performance from KD Lang. Such a talented singer. ABSOLUTELY OUT OF THIS WORLD. 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️

This song was first sung by Roy Orbison in 1961 and has been sung by many others ever since. But K.D. Lang took it to a whole new level ! She stirs your emotions.

Thank you for not stopping the song. The and only reviews worth watching don’t stop mid song. KD Lang is a gem. She could sing the dictionary.

You put that perfectly for MTV unplugged - where "real artists" go to show their talent and K.D. Lang epitomizes that 100%.

i love kd's 'barefoot'. its so haunting and she howls like a wolf.

That song is in a movie called Salmonberries in which kd lang stars.

Thank you so much for showcasing K.D. Lang. I find that her voice and delivery is so effortless it gives me the chills

K D did a duet of this with Roy Orbison (who wrote the song with Joe Melson and released it in the early 60s). A quite amazing performance with two matchless voices soaring up to make you tingle. As for K D, a song I listen to all the time is Love is Everything from her album Hymns of the 49th Parallel (which doesn’t have a dud song in it). Written by Jane Siberry (who incidentally has never written a dud song full stop!). Can I mention please that the sound volume was so low, as opposed to your commentary which was loud and clear, that it was difficult to hear. Yes I did increase the volume but clearly a tech issue to be looked at.

I totally agree with you. Her control, power and beautiful sound is other-worldly!! What a gifted artist!!❤❤❤❤

Amazing reaction to a phenomenal performance

You are not alone, she has me crying all the time...she has such a haunting voice....so smooth, effortless....classic!

What a beautiful voice!! ❤👏🏻🎼🌷

K d lang super epic super super star super talented enough said thanks pat ❤👍👍👍👍👍❤

K. D. Sings from her heart, you can tell she feels every single lyric! What a blessing she is! I think the word you are looking for is “ angelic”.

KD Lang had a hard start in CW music but people who listened to her sing ,LISTENED,and Listened and look where she is now . Keep listening ,she is fantastic .

She is one of the best at interpreting a song for the feeling it should impose on you .

This was originally a hit by the late Roy Orbison from 1962. KD actually sang this at an event with Orbison and it was a beautiful Duet. She also sang it during the Tribute To Roy Orbison as well. Her voice is indescribable. It is just simply A BEAUTIFUL VOICE. I don't recall if she ever completely took off here in America. She is Canadian. Her voice sounds like HONEY AND FLOWERS.

She takes a persons breath away! Absolutely adore KD Lang! Great reaction ❤

Just sheer greatness. She most definitely is next level. ❤

KD Lang is awesome! I can't get enough of her singing, especially, "Crying." Loved your reaction! I will watch her singing this song over and over again! It was fun watching you enjoy her singing! xoxox

K D Lang is a very humble performer, did you note her bow to the audience? 🍁 If you contacted her, you would love to hear her comment, on this Tribute to Roy Orbison -- on a Zoom call, that would be awesome.

My favorite female vocalist! ❤ I highly suggest her official video cover of Cole Porter's "So In Love" off the Red Hot and Blue AIDS Benefit album. You will definitely get the feels ❤

Patrick, I adore watching your reactions to her singing. I’m 73 and feel the same way (for many years) ❣️❣️❣️❣️

Constant Craving is another great song of hers

P.B.: this is an old rock standard from the 60s rock legend Roy Orbison. Don't know if you like old 60s rock, but if you want to explore, Roy Orbison gave a performance in which he was backed-up by K. D. Lang, Jennifer Warnes, Bonnie Raitt, Jackson Browne, Elvis Costello, T Bone Burnett, Bruce Springsteen and others. The performance is called "Black & White Night". Might be worth a watch for you. Continue your wonderful, thoughtful reactions. Thank you!

It's a Roy Orbinson cover. She KILLED IT.❤

Been a fan since day one, love kd Lang

She does a duet of this song with Roy Orbison that is amazing !

Her phrasing is excellent.

She did it even better than the original! Really appreciate your genuine reaction; thank you for sharing with us. Great comparison to Unchained Melody in sense of gentle yet deeply emotional.

K.D. did a duet of this song with Roy Orbison and then sang it at his tribute. What a fabulous voice 💜👵🏼✌🏼

Yup, everything she sings is beyond impressive.

She 🕊️ flys with the angels 🕊️ I love your reaction!!

You nailed it, The intensity, truly makes it a fine comparison to Unchained Melody... not too many can make obisons songs or Rightous Bros sound so incredible! Shes SO got what it takes ❤!

So PROUD SHES CANADIAN!❤❤🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Love her she is phenomenal ❤️😻❤️

Her voice sincerely hits the heavens man!! It's next level.

Sweetheart, never you mind what others have to say about how you react to what music you play, if they don't like it, they can move on. I know in order for you to get recognized and make some kind of money at it....just do what you are doing because you love what you do, and share..THAT!. And the rest will follow. Just be honest in the love for the music or wanting to know more of music you didn't know....never be ashamed of enjoying music you never heard of, or be embarrassed that something you love today, is so far in the past...Just be yourself, be humble, be kind, and you will find the same kind of people. For all the critics out there...well, let them find their own channel to channel their hate and BS. Pat, do you. Its that simple. lots of love sweetheart.

Been a fan of k.d.lang since way back , if I’m right she used to be a backing singer for some of the top singers including Roy Robison .

Never worry about letting your audience are you so moved. It's what we love to see and take part in. 😊

This song and her voice give me goosebumps

"Crying" is a song written by Roy Orbison and Joe Melson . Orbison released it in 1961 . It was #2 in the US

So proud that she's Canadian!!!

Written and first performed by Roy Orbison!!

Im revisiting KD Langs work at the moment. I was lucky enough to see her in Brighton uk at the time of her tour of "All you can eat" in 1995. As well as an exquisite singer she is a very funny woman and her shows are hilarious! Her voice is something else. The power, the control. I appreciate albums like "ingenue" so much more now that im older at 52. The nuances of the music as well as her vocal genius. Her live performances are mind blowing as with this rendition of "Crying" Her voice crosses over decades of musical styles and has something that will stand the test of time❤

I'm crying - wow what a performance!!!!

I love KD Lang. She's one in a million. I have to say Pat, watching your reaction to her singing just made me want to wrap my arms around you and hold you. Love that words of a song etc can bring out your emotions.

I’m Australian. She is loved down under. She has a great voice

Johnny Carson adored her, he always had her back, she made him cry with that voice more than once..

I suggest her tribute to patsy Cline, 3 Cigarettes in an ashtray, omg fantastic. Constant craving is amazing in a different way

Omg kd is awesome 👌 luv luv her singing ❤️

kd is simply the best and Roy acknowledged that.

Haha yes..yes...three cigarettes in an ashtray ...live is mind blowing

OMG she's so young there!! She has a duet with Roy Orbison too!! Angelic voice....

She is what love about music! ❤❤❤

I had the opportunity in the early '90s to attend two k d lang concerts in the Boston area (we drove through a snowstorm to get to one of them), and was totally blown away. Even now when I've watched dozens of reaction videos to Hallelujah and Crying, I get goose bumps. Loved seeing your immediate response and commentary. Thanks for sharing.

Best commentary of this amazing woman and 🎵

HI PAT! I AGREE with you: K.D.'s "Hallelujah" performance at the Olympics was my FAV performance, until I saw this MTV Unplugged piece the other day... This last weekend, I was watching a short interview with K.D. (sometime recent... maybe last year?) ...and the interviewer asked her who had had a big influence on her/that she missed because they were gone. Without hesitating, K.D. said: "ROY". (Roy Orbison, the originator of this song; K.D. had done a duet - GORGEOUS, of course - of "Crying" with Roy before he passed away. Re. their duet, there's one - maybe two - live performances of them singing together, as well as the studio recording/official MV.) The next name she said was "Tony". (Tony Bennett; she had teamed up with him for a couple of duets also... When Tony passed away recently, K.D. appeared on one of the morning shows live to sing a tribute to him.) THANK YOU FOR MAKING MY DAY!!! -Marcie Orcutt

What a voice! I absolutely love her voice ❤ makes me emotional too!

Her voice is amazing!

That was awesome. U did not interrupt/stop the performance whatsoever. I loved your reaction in the background. You let us listen to it in full so we could get the entire buildup of the song and afterwards you comment on it. Love it love it love it. You are subscribe worthy. She’s one of my favorites.

K D is one of the greatest voices out there. Very moving. Goose bumps every time I hear her sing. The same feeling I get when I hear Liza Minnelli when she sings New York, New York. Thanks for sharing.

She is the best I've ever seen. I would love to be able to see her live.

She is amazing!

The only woman I ever fancied - yes her singing did that - love her

BeeGees fan here. I love Miss KD take on this classic. Have you done ( cannot find) KD's Miss Chatelaine & Constant Craving?- from the same cd if im remembering correctly. Very sensual. ❤Love your reactions.❤❤❤

I forgot about her for while. I'm not sure why she came back onto my radar screen....but damn! 1) how could I have ever forgotten about such a beautiful voice? 2) how did I not understand properly appreciate the power and control of said beautiful voice? I want to go back in time and slap my silly younger self. I'm making up for it now!

amazing how that brings out tears

Her version of So in Love off the Red Hot & Blue album is gorgeous,it’s crushing and magic. Miss Chatelaine is another amazing song

OMG the goosebumps dont fade with time

'Full Moon Full of Love' . . . from her 'Absolute Torch and Twang' album. Upbeat Country . . . and fabulous

I'm crying watching you cry! Right on!

Thanks for doing kd again Pat she is the most underrated singer of all time. Willie Nelson calls her pipes because she has the best in the business. I've never had a voice effect me like hers. She is amazing. Check out Constant Cravings. 🇨🇦❤

Love to see songs touch peoples hearts!!!

Enjoyed sharing her brilliance with you. Something to keep in mind to be a fan of hers is that ie. she spells her name with all lower case letters ie. k.d. lang

Clapping and crying with you. Thx.

I'm no country fan, but check out Pulling Back the Reins...a very young I'd, and her fantastic voice. Also, her cover of The Air that I Breathe is fantastic!

I agree with everything you said about music!

Another suggestion: Diana Krawll, singing: "California Dreamin", and "The look of Love" and Sarah McLachlan singing "I will remember you", or "Sweet Surrender". 🍁

First saw her in concert in 1988 in Atlanta at Center Stage... K.D. Lang and The Reclines. Her backup band was named The Reclines because she believed she was Patsy Cline reincarnated. In her early performances, she was very theatrical on stage. A great performer who never really got her just dues.

If upu don't shed tears on that one you ice water in your veins.Thank you Patrick for your totally amazing reaction to Crying.I think you are doing an amazing job. Keep up the good work.😊😊❤😂

Canadian national treasure...
