9. Yeah, that's a good one, too. I ultimately went with the KD alone version...

since Orbison has the main singing part in the duet. But it's an exceptional video.

But KD Lang sort of disappeared from public view. Years ago she was everywhere. Winning awards, on the Letterman show, on mag covers, new albums, interview shows. She is nowhere visible to the masses, now. I just wondered why. With her exceptional voice and persona, why wasn't she still coming out with hit after hit?

It was controversial when she came out, I know, but that shouldn't be so much an issue now (and it's not like no one guessed before!). She's a vegan, which is controversial, I guess, but is that that big of a deal? She's gained weight, but not THAT much, and her talent and stardom wasn't based on appearance, anyway.
