I mean- this song still just slays me. It was a signature for Orbison who is a gold standard in American songwriting. He was adamant about not letting other vocalists sing his material because it was such a personal thing for him as an artist. Orbison received a tape from Lang’s label of her singing “Crying” took it to his studio to listen, and upon his emerging told his wife, “I think it’s time I let someone else sing my song.” It was an enormous gesture for him to let this be recorded by Lang- and monumental for her to sing it at this tribute after his passing. One of the saddest love songs ever.
@@maggynewtown3500 - oh no, I think think the initial recording was actually them singing together if I remember correctly. It was a movie soundtrack, “Hiding Out” with Jon Cryer. I knew they performed this together a number of times!
k.d. lang is a woman. Roy Orbison was so impressed by her voice, he asked her to do a duet of his hit “ Crying “ with him. She was asked, after his death to perform it again in a tribute concert to honour him
You're right, just the best. There is another she does however and that is the one at the Canadian Song Writers Awards and she is singing to Leonard who is sitting in the front row. The ending will bring tears to your eyes.
Roy Orbison is a music legend. When K.D. was early in her career she was honored to be asked to remake this classic song of his woth him. A duet. She of course sang it at on of the many tributes for him after his passing.
This guy has no soul. Clearly has exceedingly narrow musical knowledge - refers to kd as HIM/HE at first and doesn't even recognize Roy Orbison let alone the song - and in all honesty I think he set out with the intention of NOT reacting. The sound's a bit off? It's from 1990 you dolt 🤬 In case you're wondering those last two words 'over you' are ALL ONE BREATH! And that standing ovation lasted OVER four minutes. Go away and get yourself a musical education.
She sang Leonard Cohen’s “ Hallelujah “ at the 2010 Closing ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics. With Leonard Cohen in the audience listening to her.
Don't feel badly, k.d. lang was part of the wave of androgynous singers who hit the music scene during the early-mid 80s with the likes of Prince, Annie Lennox (Eurythmics), Boy George (Culture Club), and Grace Jones to name a few. She was heavily influenced by country singer Patsy Cline so much so she named her band the "Reclines". Her first county album, Angel With a Lariat, is best described as high energy "cow punk". Produced by punker Dave Edmunds who had his own new wave acts in the late 70s-early 80s. In this performance k.d. holds true to Orbison's original recording (yes Roy had tremendous vocal range too).
Here is KD performing "Crying" together with Roy Orbison: ruclips.net/video/4uNoAp7RNUA/видео.htmlsi=T9bFM9FJBwl3spsx And Leonard Cohen notably said that KD's version of his "Hallelujah" was his favourite of the many covers: ruclips.net/video/P_NpxTWbovE/видео.htmlsi=oJtJS7AohKF4dCCz
"Pretty good"? Listen to ANY of her others stuff! I suggest "Hallelujah", which she sang at the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Olympics in Vancouver! She is a legend!
When these people don't know doodly squat about the performer , why do they automatically think its a MALE singer. Do you damn homework before you start talking
Were you listening? Your comments are so far off the mark of the excellence it is ridiculous. You understate to the level of bias. If you really have no opinion an that masterpiece, start reviewing basketball.
Wow. Sad understatement ''review''. Poor review. I have listened to 5 other reviews of KD Lang singing ''Crying'', and all five, justifiably so, gave her rave review. Not to mention accolades of standing ovations for many/most of her performances.
We can’t expect everyone’s taste in music to be the same but it’s obvious that you did not do any research on lang or Orbison and that makes your opinion seem irrelevant.
If I might suggest do a little research before you start the show . If you want to be a pro study the pros, Roy and kd are like the Caruso and Callas of singers.
I find with most American reactors most don bother to do any research before reacting I don't understand this ! I saw on reactor all he kept repeating through the entire vid is this a man ? Is this a woman through the whole vid !!! That why I Don't like to watch American reactions!!! It take two minutes to find info not!!? I watch reactions from all over the world most do some reasearch !!! Except Americans!!!!
I have always loved this woman's voice. Just sublime.

You apparently missed the performances when they sang it together!

There is no official recording of k. d. singing this song. I wish there was.
Excellent tribute to Roy...Her vocals are 🔥
What??!! She is lovely! Her voice is gorgeous!!
k.d. lang is a woman. Roy Orbison was so impressed by her voice, he asked her to do a duet of his hit “ Crying “ with him. She was asked, after his death to perform it again in a tribute concert to honour him
She is AMAZING!!!
*PLEASE check out her rendition of "Hallelujah" performed during the Opening Ceremonies of the 2010 Summer Olympics in Vancouver. SPECTACULAR!!!*

She has a POWERFUL VOICE. BEAUTIFUL TRIBUTE TO ROY
So much to hear from her- she has an amazing voice
OMG She is amazing. Maybe you should listen again?
Yeah this was one of the few times that listening again enhanced what I heard initially.
Vocally pretty good? You're joking? She is sublime.
😂😂😂pretty good!?! 😂😂😂see some more kd....it'll make more sense how talented she is!!! bless
This guy has no soul.

Man! You have to read up on legendary musicians!
What can I say? K.D. Lang smashed it. Excellent performance.
K.D. Lang is my all-time FAVORITE female vocalist, Thank You💕
How can someone critiquing anyone not have heard of Roy Orbison.
DUDE! Come on!
Talent is talent. You don’t need to have any context to the song to know that vocally this is phenomenal.
I think he needs to get his hair out of his ears, and listen to this again!
Even
Though I haven’t heard her in awhile, her voice is always very nice.
She sang Leonard Cohen’s “ Hallelujah “ at the 2010 Closing ceremonies of the Vancouver Winter Olympics. With Leonard Cohen in the audience listening to her.
Would NEVER ask this guy's opinion on any musician.
Goodness sake....her voice is fantastic. I unsubscribed after I heard your comments.
Pretty good? Hold up. Her superb vocal talent/technique perfectly captures the song's emotions. Roy Orbison and k d lang were fans of each other.
Vocally- pretty good. Oh Lord hon.
You need to listen to Roy's original to know just how good this is!

she is perfection!
Here she is singing one of the most difficult genres.
Pretty good is that all he could say
NICE? WOW
Nice, pretty good, no opinion? Dude, you lost me as a watcher.

The fact that you had to look up Roy Orbison is pretty disappointing.
I mean I didn't know who he was. Would you rather I not look up someone I'm not familiar with?
KD the best❤
Were you listening? Your comments are so far off the mark of the excellence it is ridiculous. You understate to the level of bias. If you really have no opinion an that masterpiece, start reviewing basketball.
Straight up.
For a live performance with no sound enhancement or coders used ….just amazing
You never heard of Roy Orbison!!!!
Hi, Just: Canadian in the house. Superb voice; maybe this live was not a good example. Check out her Miss Chatelaine. Keep playing the good ones.
You seem annoyed that you can’t gender her.
Just confused initially.
Vocal pretty good ? What ? Never seen your channel before and won't jump on it again . PEACE OUT .
Best version of this is the Unplugged MTV video. So much better.
If you haven't already, listen to Ms Chatelaine! you will NOT be disappointed
Now you need to listen to Roy Orbinson ❤
Chills....
You must be the waking dead....
bravobello 😊
Not pretty good!!! AMAZING, DUDE.
Please react to KD Lang doing Hallelujah at the 2010 Olympics. One of the best covers ever.
Nice?
As in good, opposite of bad.
Off day?@@JustJammin
Wow. Sad understatement ''review''. Poor review. I have listened to 5 other reviews of KD Lang singing ''Crying'', and all five, justifiably so, gave her rave review. Not to mention accolades of standing ovations for many/most of her performances.
She is a she but plays for the other team.
Pretty good? A little bit what? Man, we really don’t like the same things. Won’t be following.
I enjoyed her immensely. You, however, left me a bit disappointed.
We can’t expect everyone’s taste in music to be the same but it’s obvious that you did not do any research on lang or Orbison and that makes your opinion seem irrelevant.
Pretty good vocal? Pretty bad reaction
Who cares? The 2023 memo:
It doesn’t matter.
☮️💙💙💙
Its a lady
You just might want to learn a wee bit about music...very poor commentary..adios
Why not check out another copy of the video?
Know your gender of performers because it makes you look like you don’t do a little homework. Easy enough to google, no excuse.
You didn’t her a note she sang, did you? Vocally nice? You need to get a real job. You are not qualified for this one.
Hey not nice
She is female
Really?! Worst reaction ever.
You are flicking negative. I'll never listen to your amateur reactions.
Not terribly smart are you.
If you don't know who Roy is then you right. You have no idea. You just wasted my time. No return for you dude
SHE LOOK LIKE CLAY AIKEN
I could have sworn that you reacted to Constant Craving. I prefer the original-Roy Orbison, personally.
she had a nice voice, she should've rapt
If I might suggest do a little research before you start the show . If you want to be a pro study the pros, Roy and kd are like the Caruso and Callas of singers.
I find with most American reactors most don bother to do any research before reacting I don't understand this ! I saw on reactor all he kept repeating through the entire vid is this a man ?
