I'm glad you included her. She has an incredible voice. I checked out her recent album that came out this year, and it sounds ok, but there's one song on there that caught my attention: "I Dream of Spring". That song is a mixture of all her styles all over the years, even country (there's a nice, surprising, traditional country-sounding steel guitar in the chorus!). Ah, I love k.d. lang.

It is also a good introduction with familiar songs. Hallelujah, on that album, for me leaves all other versions in the dust.

She has an amazing voice, and it is well suited to both country and other genres.

Any higher and I would have been a little ticked off. Anywhere lower would have been fine as well. In my opinion she was well placed. I think she’s almost perfectly placed.

While some may say she's too high, she's a full 34 spots lower on my list than she was on CMT's, so I'm sure some will feel she's too low. All I can do is let the list speak for itself. and not get too involved in the back and forth, though I think my personal tastes shine through in the writing rather than the ranking. Leeann,

I love the Roy Orbison duet and Shadowland album. She's got powerhouse vocals, which is undeniably evident. I also thoroughly relish her version of "Hallelujah."

She'd be on my list of top 100 women but not nearly this high since she spent very little time in the genre, too little time to be considered very important to the genre.
