- KD Lang performing 'Crying' on Australian TV 'the Midday Show' around 1993, with host Derryn Hinch.
Just wanted to add, thanks everyone for watching, i have been amazed by the number of views & really happy to share something with the fans they otherwise wouldn't have seen, and thanks KD for being the amazing artist you are! - Hudba
For someone who hadn't practiced with that band, hadn't sang "in a while" and was "put on the spot", this was freaking PHENOMENAL!!!! I have goosebumps!
Love her!
I bet she was FURIOUS after this.
@@SisterIndica I'm sure she was. What a useless circus band. They fucked it up completely and played wrong chords even.
She is the consummate professional
She can reduce you to tears in a heartbeat!
That was ridiculous. No warm-up, no rehearsal, no warning, and she delivered a simply amazing rendition of that beautiful song. She looked like she was a million miles away, completely in the zone. Wow, wow, wow.
You know, I think she's always in the zone. Moreso then most other singers today.
( great pedal steel!)
Outrageous phenomenon all voice
Have you heard her sing Hallelujah??? Omg 😲 even Leonard Cohen said NO ONE sings it better than k.d. lang does.
@@galeeverton5615 I'm listening now. Couldn't agree with you more.
I am mesmerized by K D. One and Only!!!!
I absolutely love her, and I’ve never in my life been attracted to women, but I’m so attracted to her. The person, the honesty, the personality, and her voice is so beautiful. Roy Orbison asked her to do the duet with him. Roy had the most divine voice, I’d say the best EVER❤️ thank you k d Lang for singing❤️👍
Ditto. And doesn't it just go to show us that the highest, truest attraction is founded on character, honesty and soul, which KD has in spades.
You touched me! Thank you
Ditto
I so totally agree with what you said, Jennifer, i feel the same way!
She's a sexy, intelligent woman. I'm technically straight too. She's lovely.
No props......no dancers...no distractions.......just raw talent. Thank you KD.
March 2024 - still the best singer
The best? Really? Good, yes, but not the best.
I'd say Ronstadt but any song they cover they make theirs
This is what a singer does when she ' caresses' a song. She's pure heaven.
Mmm...yes!
She. Is so wonderful
Barbara M 50% outstanding voice, 50% emotion = superb!
Yes! Great description!
Barbara M, check out her "Hallelujah", its pure heaven!!!
KD LANG, One of the most BEAUTIFUL VOICES EVER. WOW, simply phenomenal.
You make us all proud.
Beautiful. What comes through is that her loving nature is absolutely sincere and she means every word .Bless you KD for being unafraid
to share.
@@brendaoliver4945. I totally agree with you!
Have listened to KD for quite a long while now and will never tire of hearing her. Even at 82 now, hearing her intimate and magnificent voice can still bring me to tears.
Fantastic voice!!!!!!---
❤❤❤❤
There is nothing like the joy you feel in your heart at the powerful & ethereal voice she gifts us with. God given, Angel accompanied. ❤
Erm , I’m lost for words , faultless ! No runs , no trickery , no autotune, just pure raw talent . Beautiful x
In those days I worked in the music department of the show. As I recall the band completely ad-libbed the backing and did a masterful job. Normally the band had all the music in front of them and they and the artist had nine rehearsals. KD didn't have any at all. Her performance was one of the most pivotal in the many years I worked on the show. She is a real star.
Geoff Geoff Thank you for that lovely bit of history.
Thank you Geoff!
Ya buddy, back then we played on a dime!
Thank you for sharing, Geoff. Her performance and the information you added about the band adds up to a rare musical treasure!
The band worked all the time on that show, as I understand it. They were old session pros, and doubtless had brushed up on her recordings of that song. They really nailed the background, and helped deliver what I still consider to be kd's best rendition of that song. Kudos to all who made that happen.
Her humility astounds me. It’s as if she doesn’t know how uniquely amazing her voice is not to mention her delivery. Love k d!
She is Canadian.
I don’t think any other could bring it like KD - the raw emotion and natural talent is astounding - will always remember her singing with Roy Orbison - just amazing!
She puts her entire soul into her performance. Outstanding!
That choke me up KD Lang ,,,,, thank you. 🥝 kiwi guy New Zealand
Only Bobby Hatfield could bring it to life as KD does.
I would have loved to have been in the audience that day! You will never get another concert from her like that.
Roy picked simply the best to duet with him. KD is second to none
Anyone listening in 2019???
Yep!
Me .Cant get enough of these old recordings.She is still amazing .x
I'm treating myself to this GIFT right now.
ohhhhh yessss!!!
Yup!
She just has a little chat, gets up and slays that song. Unreal.
STILL LOVE KD
'Simply the Best' TT
She knew exactly when the music should be played quietly
4.55
She INHABITS that song!
Literally stunning.
Ok Australia. You may have witnessed KD Lang's best Crying performance.
I think KD is probably one of the most underrated performers of all time. She has such a pure and soulful voice. Just God given talent right there
one of the best voices in the world
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
@@Kdlang-gi6md that's not you, kay!!
Pure musical genius. And the band.....👏
Not warmed up, not rehearsed, not practiced with the band, and she utterly crushes that massive song! KD's version of "Hold my beer!" :)
i see now this clip has had more than 1.3 Million views, wow! I never thought it would be so popular way back in 2010 when i uploaded it. It gives me great satisfaction that so many fans around the world have enjoyed watching this incredible performance! Love to you all from 'Down Under' 🥰💗💙💚💛
One of the best clips I've seen on CZcams. it's for putting it up. Blessed my night. 🙂
Watching in July 2023...
Watching March 2024. Still epic!!
@@joanholman3105absolutely xx
Such a handsomely beautiful woman and incredible voice ,saw her live in 98 (i think ) outstanding xx
Pure magic! Best Canadian female vocalist ever. Stupendous!!!
I agree but dear god be careful saying that around Dion fans!
As a proud Canadian I love them all. They all have different voices. My fave is Joni Mitchell but as I say love em all!
@@michaelversace456 Celine has had an incredible long career, though she is sick now and unable to perform. .KD hasn't released anything I aware of in a very long time. Wish she would she is super talented.❤❤❤
@@debbiegoodine5037 I know she's beloved in Canada. However the last time she was in Australia we mobbed her. That doesn't happen even with our biggest celebrities. We generally don't care. However she is not an average celebrity.
I didn't say she was average! I said that she has not released any new material in yrs. She took her celebrity and used her platform to run down the huge beef industry in western Canada. She is a born Albertan the largest producer and they hate her. Sometimes people should know when to bite their tongue ! You couldn't sell a kd record there even today!
Over the years I have seen just a handful of performers who can totally mesmerize an audience with their performance. K.D. Lang is just such a person.
I wonder if anyone in that audience realised they were about to hear and see one of the most intensely emotional performances of their lives. THAT was reality television. Astonishing.
Omg!
I remember when KD sang at the Olympics Never heard of her before. But since then I heard it at least 1000 times. Lucky lady that gets to hear her every day.
Well of course they did, assuming they were watching the show because KD was the guest. She is quite famous.
Can't help to think how immensely lucky the audience was to hear the legend KD singing "Crying."
I have heard her sing it in concert, just wonderful.
@@patriciacathcart9233 That is amazing you had that wonderful experience!
That should have been a standing ovation.
@@Sparks_Alive I agree!
She hit those notes with no effort and with such emotion!!!
That was a standing ovation caliber performance if I've ever seen one.Her voice is absolutely stunning.
She always got an ovation when she did crying. I’ve seen her do it live a few times and each time, amazing. Same with her version of Hallelujah!
I thought the same thing expecting the audience to be on their feet but all just sat and clapped 😮😮
Right?? I was yelling at them to stand up!
NO WIGS NO MAKEUP JUST BLUE EYED SOUL !!!!
HI, IF YOU MEAN IT'S BECAUSE SHE IS ( GAY ) EVERYONE KNOWS THAT, I JUST MENT THATS HOW GOOD SHE IS !!!
Yeah, beautiful skin. She has the most gorgeous complexion.
Love you girl. Through the decades I still adore you. Best hallelujah ever
I agree, she's not fake, she just really great
HI, IS WHAT RELEVANT ? THE FACT SHE IS GAY ( NO ).
One of the best voices that's ever been. Always loved her!
GODBLESS
K.D. Lang saved my sanity. She has the voice of an actual angel
she's done a lot for me, also
No Pretence, just rew talent.
no rehearsals, never sang with this band , no warm ups, KD you left emotional and crying, you are a very very talented women.
lol..of course there were rehearsals....you think they just threw this at her?....and the band just happened to have the charts and know how to play it cold with her unknown rendition?
I’m crying
@@jadezee6316 yes...it's what professionals do. If you had ever played professionally, you would know that it is not that difficult to pull off. The rendition wasn't "her own". It was exactly as how Roy and she did it.
@@jadezee6316 vas voir plus haut ce qu'a écrit Geoff Geoff :-)
Best rendition of Crying I’ve heard other than Roy’s original. KDs voice is perfect for this song. ❤
This performance, right there, is why she deserves every bit of respect that a performer can get.
From a cold start to a superb finish KD can bring tears to the eyes of this old timer like no one else. She makes me and millions of fellow Canadians so proud to call her one of our own.
❤Amen❤
How refreshing to hear her voice on youtube versus all this garbage we have these days! Thank you KD for sharing your voice with the world. :-)
Aaaammmmaaaaaaazzzing!!! Thank you, K.D.!!!
Katherine dawn Lang is the best !!!!!
Garbage? You are too kind!
I so agree. Garbage is right
That lady is so special an amazing talent and person
This is what happens when your soul becomes your voice....
Beautiful!
Thank you Ramona. I didn't remember I had writeen this sentence...My God! I can,t beliewe I am an atheist!
I guess even an atheist recognizes the soul beauty of this performer! ;-) I've known some so-called atheists who are more "spiritual" in their beingness than many "believers."
No offense to (not knocking) anyone! Perhaps you'd like to see a tribute I just wrote? ramonamckean.com/music-to-build-bridges-cohen-kd-and-hallelujah/ :-)
99% of people don't have this much soul.
Hi my name is Bonnie and I'm 78 years young and I live in Salt Lake City Utah USA well USA wow what can you say about Katie Lang she's brilliant when God-created her it was one of a kind voice from the 1st time I heard her she had my heart she's a beautiful woman with a soul like an angel I love her music more than I can ever say I day I don't know she sings anymore but it would be amazing to hear her now I love you Katie with my heart and soul💜🏳️🌈💜🎶🙏💯
K D Lang is Canadian!!
So proud to be a Canadian when l hear KD. Love her voice!
I've been a k.d lang fan since her debut album, her voice is simply the greatest in our generation and no other female artist today compares to her range, depth and control. Powerful, yet gentle, you feel every emotion from start to finish. Breathtakingly beautiful, this version of Crying is the best I've seen anywhere else, she is magnificent!
I would love to hear her sing the National Anthem.....the way it SHOULD be sung. I dislike most of the show offs who ruin it for me. I believe she is one of the greatest artists of our time. A female Orbison. Both sang from their soul and made real music. Love their duet together.
I agree with you 100%
@@deconry you’re in luck. Here she is, singing the national anthem. czcams.com/video/tJalwuZ7WYQ/video.html
@@deconry Oh Canada
What makes lang so great is the sheer intimacy of her performance. You almost feel like a voyeur for watching.
What a great description. Thank you
Yes...so vulnerable...
Ikr?
Her song was perfection. Your comment about it is perfection.
what a ridiculous comment..lol..do you understand the meaning of the word voyeur?
Brought me to tears instantly...she is Phenomenal....!
Omg! This kd lang her voice just brought me to tears ... she sings so beautifully almost better than Roy .. that song is amazing. Love ur voice kd lang..
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
As a European I have never heard of KD Lang. Wow, she's got a voice! Beautiful! You Canadiens can really be proud!
Her breath control is amazing!
She is one of THE BEST singers I have ever heard. She lives in the song and brings it to a living breathing place. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!
She has an amazing voice and her rendition of this Roy Orbison classic is monumental.👍👍
Thank you for uploading this incredible version from KD Lang. We are privileged to have such a talented amazing beautiful soul singing for us.
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
Hello lyn
@@krislamore5607 brought tears to my eyes, thank u, thinking of that kind of wanting, yearning Is a good thing to remember at 57, thank god still do at 28 years of marriage.. knowing we started off at that kind of passion carries us on.. ur music helps us to realize the beautiful passion we have, thank u
If Elvis is The King (and he is!) KD is The Queen!
hirdy6 I agree with the person who said that kd sounds like the product of Elvis and Barbara Streisand having a child together. kd is the only one I've ever heard who can nail and hold a note like Barbara Streisand. Other-worldly.
who was it who said "Elvis lives, and she is beautiful." ?
ELVIS WILL ALWAYS B THE KING N DEF KD LANG WILL ALWAYS B THE QUEEN!!! WHEN SHE SINGS "CRYIN" MY HEART JUST MELTS..LOVE THEM!!
Elvis will always be the King!!!! always for ever !! she should be the Queen !!!
@@aaronwalterryse4281 Madonna
She’s a phenomenal artist. No warm up never playing the this group. I love her voice so much. I’ve never seen this rendition but she killed it. WOW
Such a lovely voice. FEELING ....STAR🎆😁
Well, I can die now after hearing that. What a MASTERFUL singer and consummate musician. She has such incredible power one moment and angelic tenderness the next -- and that WTF vocal range! She sings with such heart-rending passion but never oversings a song or rushes the melody - a real PRO. She even directs the orchestra at 4:48 because they were playing too loud and at 5:09 to play louder when she's bringing it home for the finish. No one sings this song better, not even Orbison. Holy shit.
I can die now after hearing that.... How many singers can you say that about. Die, Goosebumps, choked up, lump in the throat. Grew up on jobsite, 40 years of tough guy reputation down the drain with one song.... Amazing!
Yes I noticed the 4:48 direction too, but not the 5:09 one, so thanks for that. She is masterful.
Tamiami! Hope that extended your life & you're still here with us! KD LANG gives us Heaven on Earth.
K.D. Lang's voice reaches to the rafters and her storytelling as she sings pierces the heart. Beautiful performance.
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
Hello, how are you doing today
And she gets up and sings like a pro. So great
'Like' a pro? Sells millions of records and tours the world.
She is utterly amazing! To sing like that with no warm-up, no warning, no rehearsal. What a true pro and a rare talent. I have loved her forever. I saw her live once only a few rows from the stage. The sound went out and she continued to sing a capella and unamplified. Just glorious! This is such a beautiful song, and she delivered it with such emotion. She has no match.
If thats the rusty, unrehearsed version….WTF…..The great ones make it look easy I guess.
Bravo to the band too . flawless
Wow...I've always been a fan of hers big time, but without any rehearsals she sings like this? Amazing!
Now that’s an artist! Off the cuff, cold, no rehearsal, no knowing or practice with the band, just straight perfection hitting every note with her sultry velvety voice and staggering high register notes with all power! That is greatness!!
You said it.
Her signature song. Wow. But what a performance for something totally unrehearsed. Geoff Harvey's incredible ensemble of musicians & KD absolutely slayed it. ... goosebumps on the soul.
I can think of no other word to describe this performance but to simply say "incredible"!
After suffering through the VMAs I needed to hear a true artist perform so I came to this video. KD Lang is peerless.
Nothing short of awesome. Amazing singer!
Haven't heard her for years and frankly forgot how great a vocalist she is.
what!!! omg she just blew me away...totally smashed it...what a voice! what a gift from the gods!! Roy would be so so proud!!
Damn, this woman can just flat sing. What a great voice.
I’m absolutely speechless; that’s a wow performance!
I love her and her voice. I love, love how she seemed to tell the band to slow and low it, that was absolutely awesome. Wow!
I cannot take my eyes off her when she performs. I love that when she uses the full power of her voice, she has to move the mic down to waist level - and I get chills when she does it. What a treat it must have been to be there and hear her.
Where is she now ? back in Canada ???
@@marilynsebring7486 Yes. She moved back to Calgary full-time a few years back where she now lives with her partner. She still lives part-time in Portland, OR for work purposes though. Hope this helps.
I'm seeing her in Hull on the 13th for her UK and Ireland tour. Literally been waiting to see her live for 14 years now, ever since I was 6. xx
Saw her in Newcastle a couple of days ago. Always been a fan but I wasn’t prepared for that voice live. Literally had me in tears. Such a rare thing to hear a voice like that.
Hello, how are you doing my friend?
One of our great Canadian singers. So proud of her, not just for her incredible voice, but for who she is.
Canada is full of great singers!
No we can leave "our Canadian" in!!!
@@DMarinari Absolutely! And I'm not Canadian!
@@jibbajabba4712 Sarah McLachlan, Bryan Adams, Shania Twain, Anne Murray, Alanis Morissette, etc...
@@jibbajabba4712 10 in 10, but you, love Sarah McLachlan's voice - Alanis Morissette won Grammy as the best female rock vocal in 1996... etc, etc... I respect your opinion, but it's your opinion - I love k.d.land, but for me, Canada is full of great singers and composers, not only k.d. lang ("k.d. lang", this is the way, she likes her name is written).
If an angel drops from the heavens and sang from the heart, this is it surely
Even though there was little chance of meeting her when I was young and no chance I will meet her now it would have been the highlight of my life. I have adored her singing from the first time I heard her sing. Big crush immediately.
Sign me up for that! My bucket list top wish!!!
This has to be amongst the greatest vocal performances ever. Astonishing.
Okay. She hadn't warmed up her voice... had NEVER sang with this bad... and she still sounded like an angel. What a great sport she is! Most singers would have said no. This sounded so good... it's too bad it wasn't released on DVD. Love her.
Robon Brooks I
Sang? or sung?
Yep ! She isnt your typical diva who makes demands...she is a true star
It's rehearsed come on a singer doesn't go on the show not knowing they're going to sing while they're promoting themselves on a tv show
😄😄😄 when in history is that ever happened
one of the very best voices ever.
I'm sure Roy know she did "his" song more than justice. In my opinion to sing a heartbreak song u need a little extra in ur voice & that lady has it in spades. Wish she'd make a comeback. She's has the most INCREDIBLE voice
From your lips to God's Ears!
Wonderful person. Wonderful rendition.
one of the best voices of the last century
What a beautiful smile she's got!!!!!!!!!!
Yes and great skin too!
This perfomance was my absolute favourite, I have seen her in concert but watching and hearing this just resonates within me!
K.D. is totally Awsome !!🙂👍❤
Not being warmed up and still....superb!!!! I have loved her and that voice long before very many knew or appreciated how really unique she was. I am 80 and I still get goose-bumps and tears . k
my favorite singer of all time.
You are 88 years of age. Are you still with us my Angel?
Holy crap, for an unrehearsed, spontaneous request after not singing for a long time, Lang sure nailed that song to perfection. This could be made into a CD.
+sweetsweatyfeet is this true? totally unrehearsed? wow
Yup. She said she had not sung in quite a while which why she was hesitant to perform.
+sweetsweatyfeet I bet you dollars to doughnuts they ran through this at least once before the show. And that takes nothing away from kd nor the show.
salamanca1954 to the best of my knowledge (I'd say I'm 99% on this) then it IS as I posted. It's been ages (and was just 16 when this filmed) and had forgotten he did this and I'll double check with Derryn himself but yes, this really was unrehearsed.
He's sort of known for being random, long story but he's a pollie now (main policies are public sex offender register, animal welfare, violence against women and kids, voluntary euthanasia) so I knew him before from all of that.
Now I know his political side (he got in) as my best friend is one of his lead candidates.
But yes, back then he was known for doing this and she said she suspected so probably did actually warm up but the whole point is he likes to see who people really are, so no, he wouldn't have said she was to perform as he didn't always drop them in it.
There are a few cringeworthy ones when he did the same and that person relied a LOT on backup and modification, he likes putting people on the spot. He would have known she'd do it easily, she genuinely has an incredible voice.
I believe you are correct. I understand people say I haven’t sung in 12 years or I haven’t whatever and I’ve never sang with this band.. and sometimes things like that are set up for whatever reason the The bottom line is she delivered a blowout performance and that’s all I care about. I wish we didn’t have to go through all the pretense but oh well it is what it is I love K.D Lange!! Love when she sang with Lyle Lovett…
I am listening in 2019 and could listen to her for the next 100 years - especially her version of this Roy Orbison classic
I Love KD Lang!!!!!
I don't think most realize how amazing that last phrase was. Powerhouse in one breath.
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
Mesmerized and hypnotized. Stunning display of talent and voice control. The best!!!
I had forgotten what an absolutely awesome singer KD Lang is!
Totally Amazing ❤️
The most sensuous voice around!
omg she looks so YOUNG. and very pretty.
Beautiful
This was MAGICAL under any circumstances. WOW, just Wow loved it 💙💙💙zane
She sings in such a natural way!!!!!!!As if she spoke to someone during a conversation
I saw her in concert right around this time and she did this song and we just FELL OUT. Chills for days. What a glorious artist. So glad I found this.
+Victoria Weinstein
I envy you, Victoria! Have a great time from Italy
Thank you so much I sincerely hope you never stop listening to my music 🎶❤️
What a voice! Awesome.
She has a P H D in singing. One of the GREATEST of all-time Takes your breath away!!!!
Her voice is so pure and powerful.
Close your eyes when the music starts, and just listen.
K.D. Lang and Shirley Bassey are my favorite female singers of all time. Seen both of these greats back in the day in their prime. I thought this impromptu version was marvelous and just a little different with this arrangement...it felt very intimate. Have seen KD with Roy in concert together. There are no words. Much like seeing an Elvis concert. Such talent.
KD Lang is absolutely UNBLIEVABLE!!!! I could listen to her all day long. And, this is the only time I've heard her sing with her shoes on!!! She's one in a million!!!!!!!
Her voice is very Special and I can see Roy singing it with her still.
K.D. is miraculous!
Girl just moved me to tears. Wonderful voice and so under appreciated. One of the greats.
She nailed it every time whether she rehearsed the ding or not. She is the most underrated and best female singer of all time. Simply breathtaking listening to her sings!
