Gave me goose bumps on my goose bumps
Breath taking, no one sings that song like KD Lang!
I never get tired of hearing her sing this song. Beautiful!!
Man - I can't ever get enough of this song by her.
OMG! THAT is crazy TALENT!!
She is so incredible, its a crime that she doesn't get more recognition; a true vocal genius.
Aren't we lucky as Canadians to have such TRUE talent representing us in this world? I don't think Canadian talent gets it's proper dues in the international arena, but we, as Canadians, recognize what we have. I'm damned proud of our talent!
k.d. lang's version of Cohen's masterpiece is simply stunning. Two Canadian icons combine to make pure magic.
The pure sound brings me to tears every single time I hear this, beautiful Voice that's been lent to our ears. We're very lucky to be here in the world with her gift.
This is the wifey typing. I am Canadian and when I hear K.D. Lang singing I dropped everything and watched her sing. I started to cry and everytime I listen to this song I cry. What a beautifrul song from a beautiful person! Thank you K.D.
I love Leonard Cohen, But, OMG!!! This is the BEST version, ever!!
KD Lang and Cohen in a duet that would be fantastic
Stunning...absolutely beautiful...she sings like an angel. She takes my breath away.
This is positively the best rendition I have ever heard of this song. I've heard many other performances of this great song, and none come near the depth or passion that kd lang has in this performance.
This must be like one of the most AMAZING moments of the history of HUMANITY
KD stole the show. Amazing performance. No words. I watched it live and my heart almost burst.
when i hear her sing, i become one big goosebump. what a voice
I love that Song,always did....but this is by far the best interpretation I ever heard!!!!
I Gotta say, She knocked it out of the park!! Absolutely, ...Breathtaking! She made me so proud to be Canadian!! The Athletes did too!! So proud of our athletes! And singers, too!! An unexpected bonus! Who would DO Better than that?? I'm guessing...NO ONE ON THIS PLANET!!!!
I´ll always going to remember these minutes, early Sunday here in Finland - and watching K.D.Lang sing Hallelujah. AMAZING !!!!!
She is so magnificently beautiful and amazing. I love her voice, style and art.
this is spectacular!
This song just brings back amazing memories of the best 2 weeks (in my mind) in Canadian history. I have never been so patriotic in my life during these 2 weeks... everytime I came home I would watch the Olympics all day. My god I miss these Olympics so bad!
I don't understand why some people say this song was inappropriate for the Olympics due to what it is about. Who cares ? It was a breathtaking performance and provided inspiration to those who were there and those who watched it on TV.
This is the most awesome presntation I have experienced in my 50+ years of listening to music. KD is a National Canadian Treasure as is the author of this song, Leonard Cohen. Truely among the best on earth.
Thanks for posting this. What can anyone say. This is perfection. I'm so proud to live in the same country as this amazing person. k.d., I hope you know how much you mean to us.
One of the best renditions of this song ever. So beautiful! Goosebumps.
This was so awesome to watch live on television. This is one of my favorite performances and songs. Talk about awesome and awe inspiring.
Unbelievable voice! I am left speechless listening to her sing!
this gives me chills and brings tears to my eyes...love it
Still the most powerful, moving voice I've ever heard. Absolutely beautiful.
"It's been recorded by more than 200 artists, and kd lang's is right there at the top." Truer words have rarely been spoken.
She covered this magnificently!
One of the most Specatcular moments of the 2010 Olympics...to me anyway...What a gift this women was blessed with!!
I could listen to her voice all day long, she's so amazing. There's no better version of this song
I was in tears when this came on....the whole ceremony had my choking up, but this killed it.
How often do you really see an artist? The microphone is not stuck into their nose, no antics, just a voice true and perfect. The millions who were priveledged to see this were, well, priveledged.
This Lady is a gem...This song is hers in my humble opinion...the expression she sends-out singing this is really a "public display of her feeling a song" so to speak. I'd love to have an opportunity to see her live.
Sheer perfection...a great Canadian song sung by a great Canadian!!
1I had the privilege of seeing KD Lang perform in person at the dress rehearsal and then on TV during the opening ceremonies. She has an amazingly powerful voice and anyone watching that night could tell that she was as moved by the lyrics and music as her listeners. I love the Leonard Cohen version of this song, but KD owns it. We are so proud of you, KD!
i will never forget watching this live on tv in ireland .i was just amazed .i dont often be lost for word s to describe an event or what ever .but what i saw of the performance ..yes i was lost for words .
The Vancouver Olympics are going to be rememberd forever because of this Lady K.D.Lang - performance.
this was one of the most magical and amazing performances I've ever seen...made me so proud to be Canadian. I wish we could have the proper video!!
THIS lady is SO talented, it;s not even funny!
Canada should declare this amazing woman as one of their national treasures.
i never cared too much for KD Lang, but by the end of that rendition she had made me think she is pretty amazing. like many others have said, it's hard to hear this song and not shed a tear
I cried when I saw her perform this during the ceremonies. It touched me so deeply. I have followed her career since those days of crinolines, plaid shirts, and geek glasses. She is not only one of the greatest singers in Canadian history she is one beautiful woman.
And: I`ll always going to remember the Vancouver Olympics bcs of this AMAZING SONG !!!!!
Extraordinary voice! I couldn't move till k daddy finally finished the song. I love her❤
Diese Stimmung ,auch heute noch bin ich ich begeistert von den Lied,der Präsentation von K.D Lang.Sie verzaubert das ganze Stadion. Was für eine Leistung. Schön ist nicht der richtige Ausdruck. Einfach unglaublich. Danke dafür .Danke. Danke
Canadian tenors just topped this at the Emmys...blew everybody away...what harmonies!
Thank god for you tube. I watched this on tv as it happened - lying in my bed, half asleep. By the end of it, I was sitting up and couldn't stop crying.

The Canadians put on a Games with class, wit and self-depreciating humor. The competition was terrific but this was the single most memorable moment.
Nobody puts as much feeling into this song as K.D. does. It's hauntingly beautiful.
She has THE awesomest voice, in THE WORLD!
Magic- pure proof that greatness from the North isn't only found in a hockey rink. She is the Great One, I can never hear this too many times.
One of the most AMAZING singers ever :) My heart ceased when I saw it was KD to sing at the Olympics. And I don't think my heart started again until the song ended.
I haven't heard her voice since I was younger and of course she, too.
I hated what Country music did to her. I wish she would come back. Things have changed KD..They can not deny a voice like yours. Wish I could stand next to you and sing..
Watching this live she had me in tears with goose bumps, She brought the house down. I wish the Olympic Committee would give up the video. Maybe we should start an on line petition or something. No one can sing this song like KD and this is her very top performance of it. Simply exhilarating..
I doubt anyone else could sing this song any better than KD, she is absolutely flawless in the delivery of this song...so full of heart and conviction.
I can say the same thing everyone says...beautiful...breathtaking...amazing...etc. One person singing .....no techno stuff...no big show...and look at the crowd. That tells you how fantastic this performance was...k.d.'s presentation and the song....it IS unbelievably fantastic. This sent chills...goosebumps...and then a warmth ALL over.
I was at the opening ceremonies. Easily my favourite memory of all the olympics. Gives me shivers every time i listen to it. We live in the best country in the world
This Woman can always manage to bring a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye. She's truly a gifted person.
I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF KD LANG FOR MANY YEARS AND VOICE NEVER LOSSES IT'S HAUNTING POWER A TRULY GREAT VOCALIST.
It brought tears to my eyes when I heard it that Olympic night. I sat there in awe. She is as precious a Canadian jewel as any there is, or ever will be.
fabulous. the best Cohen song ever and KD does it best of all. Canada, wake up and make this lady a National Living Treasure.
The combination of this song from Leonard Cohen and this performance by k.d. lang should certainly make one believe in a great creative force in the universe.
A voice smooth as velvet, wrapped in silk, wrapped in satin... pure perfection!
I have probably listened to this 500 times ... it still sends shivers up my spine.
KD LANG absolutely NAILED that song! I've never heard it better... pure awesomeness!
I can't get enough of this. No one can sing this like Kd. NO ONE
It isn't just that she sings this with a great voice (she does, none better). It has nothing to do with "sexy" or "attractive" appearance (a subjective topic not for debate). Thhis is a complete masterpiece because of the depth of emotion and meaning she conveys with her performance while staying true to the mechanics of harmonics and music. My GOD this is beautiful, and I could listen to it over and over without losing the sense of wonder and depth of the experience.
this brings chills down my spine. I'm doing a assignment for economics right now and i'm researching the olympics. The olympics has brought together countries all over the world and for instances from the olympics like this, i actually for a bit think that the world is finally at peace and everyone is united as one. This song for some reason is just amazing, and it touches me and it ALMOST brings tears to my eyes
This rendition by KD lang moves me to tears... she really did a great performance and I've enjoyed it several times over since 2010. Hallelujah KD
By far the best performanca of the opening ceremonies. We were proud to be Canadian and host the World in our back yard!
I had goosebumps from the second she sang the first note. Gives a whole new meaning to "hitting one out of the park." The acoustics in that venue absolutely sent her voice soaring - this is so much better than any studio recording of the same song.
This is the most amazing version i have heard.Noone else can compare, i feel like im on the clouds and an Angel is singing to me.ABSOLUTLELY STUNNING.BRAVO.
I still think, this is one of the BEST EVER Songs here on RUclips !!!
I'm a proud Canadian, and always will be. Vancouver 2010 was one of the saddest times on Canadian soil I've ever been a part of. And why? Because a father and mother lost their son after entrusting him to us. Ask yourself, what was his name? Don't google it, don't ask a friend, what was it? Almost as sad as this young mans death is that most people don't remember his name. Nodar Kumaritashvili, from Georgia. We celebrate medals, and forget the most precious of all things, life.
My luck. The IOC can NOT take away my moments with K.D.LANG on the early hours OS 2010 here in Finland listening Dame K.D.LANG. One of the most BREATHTAKING SONGs EVER !!!!
Thank you Kd Lang! and NO Autotune people!
I have this in my favorites, when I put it there they showed the actual performance. Wish people would stop messing with copyrights or whatever. This is the OLYMPICS which is for the whole world to see. K.D. you still bring chills when I hear you singing this and tears to my eyes. I would like to see anyone top this in the Olympic ceremony's . I have been watching them for 50 years, this will live forever in my heart
i honestly miss the olympics so much still.
this moment on tv pretty much encapsulated what the olympics were: amazing!
Probably the best part of the opening ceremony in terms of performance. Magnificent.
This is one of those songs that stirs the soul. Coupled with the styling and strength of KD Langs voice it is hauntingly beautiful. I can not listen to this song in public or even speak about it. Such emotion is generated along with a feeling of spiritual longing. The emotion is similar to those generated by the meaning of the classical piece Pie Jesu. Thank you katherine dawn!
WoW...........simply fantastic.
I miss the Olympics! This song started this great moment in Canadian history for me!
When I watch at the 2010- I didnt think that I would be taken a back by all the singers I especially found KD Land.....so breath takening to listen to her music- she was so moving, so profound- need I'd say more!!!! Thank you for lifting my spirit, Lori :-)
I just keep coming back to hear it again and again...
This performance stops me dead in my tracks and I find myself transfixed to her voice and the emotion she puts in this song. Great performance.
This makes me SOOO proud of where I come from. Much respect Miss. Lang. Much Respect.
I was there and spoke to the producers, KD Lang was the only performer at the opening ceremony who actually sang and did not mime.
I still get shivers and tears when I listen to this version. It's the most amazing and emotion evoking version I've ever heard.
This blew me away at the opening ceremonies. What an amazing rendition.
She'll be performing here in Portland tomorrow!! Her first performance since she's become a resident of the Rose City!! She just enchants me!!
OMG, she's just unbelievable. I've listened and watched this performance many times, at this site and others, and it brings me to tears every time, complete with goose bumps. She is THE most expressive singer ever. And what a fantastic voice. I love her.
thank you for sharing. she said she thought she was going to probably sing 50 seconds and found out she was going to sing it all and thought to herself either she is crazy or brave i just think she is shown more people how talented a singer she is. so glad she did. her performance was incredible.
all the best :o)
This is the only song that can bring a tear to my eyes, and this version doubley so. Absolutely beautiful.
I SO agree; this song gives me peace...
those who don't like this song can kiss my ass. K.D Lang sings this song with so much emotion it brings you to tears. the best rendition EVER MADE! no one can top this: maybe only Leonard Cohen, but no one else!
Stunning. An inspired moment. I watched it live and was speechless. Proud to be Canadian that day.
