"Effortlessly cool" is how I rate this. From everyone. Downey, Sting, his lead guitarist, his band, his back-up singers, everyone. They just make it look effortless.
And He’s humble!! Notice at the end when the crowed applauds he bows to sting because he knows that despite the fact he himself is talented, the honor is all his to be up there with Sting.
@@JuriAmari I still hope he _isn't_ done with MCU. There's the Mark One plot from the comics to consider... we'd get a villainous, non-Tony Iron Man as a bonus.
Sting's song and his signature bass line, RDJ's voice with Sting's, kickass backing vocals and instruments... this is unbelievably great... guaranteed to get your blood pumping or you are just not alive!!
I'll be honest. Sting's music has never been my favorite stuff but there's no denying just how damn good RDj sang this song. Zero critique. He nailed the shit out of it....
This song is proof on just how awesome that song really is. Just imagine, only three people composed, arranged, and performed that song when it was released. They were able to make such rich sound with three of them together. I had the honor of seeing them twice in 2009 and 2010. I cried like a child because I really did not think they would ever get back together. They had some serious issues all that time, but never say never! I saw Guns N’ Roses as well who said they would never get together in this lifetime. So it was the “not in this lifetime” tour lol kind of like the “hell freezes over” tour for the Eagles, I guess? Anyway, to get specific: Robert Downey Jr. is just one of the most amazing people on the Earth sharing the stage with another one of the most amazing people on the planet. he is so good at the song. He knows it so well. You can tell he’s a true fan. Who knew he had a voice like that? Who knew he could use his voice to convey emotion like that? I am just so panties in the air impressed.
It seems to me now that any time you see someone take the stage next to Sting, you know something great is about to happen. EVERY...SINGLE...TIME I see someone sidle up next to Sting and do a duet, whether it's a huge star (Stevie Wonder, Wynton Marsalis) or some guy I hadn't heard of before (Cheb Mami) or a great artist who I didn't know sang, but am not surprised he can (Robert Downey Jr) the result is awesome. Chumps aren't allowed within 50 feet of Sting.
Alexandr Pushnoy brought me here... What a song... what a men... how charismatic performed by Robert. My wife likes Sting. She couldn't spot the difference. BRAVO
Second highest grossing box office star of all time, multiple academy award nominations, has the lead role in one of the biggest movie franchises of all time, is there anyway he could get any cooler? RDJ: Hold my beer
I watched him go through it publicly. I saw him fall to the bottom. And struggle to build his public life back. And bless us with his talent. I respect that.
Considering the crap this guy has gone through, I can't help to marvel *cough* at how much acclaim he's gotten on the other side of the worst side of hollywood and be happy for the dude. Great actor, great adapter and he's a great role model.
+PriestOfFilm This dude is the anti Charlie Sheen. Sheen should have seen what RDJr was doing and followed that path. What a great story of personal conquest and redemption.
Gary Oldman is another actor to look up to, he overcame addiction too and is a decent guy and a good dad. Before anyone brings up Fiorentino, the woman has already been outed as a liar by her own children from _two_ marriages.
i’ll admit it... i come back every day, just to hear this legendary performance. the great guitar, the ever going bass line, RDJ’s great voice and the way he hit some of those notes... it’s all just too great to ignore😍😍
@@femurbreaker1701 He even says it in the movies that he is also cursed with knowledge, he shows most respect to Tony within the MCU. Or I am reading the tone of your comment wrong?
When i first heard RDJ sing I was shocked to learn that he can really sing. Then i was shocked to learn that his voice sounds like Michael Bolton or Sting, so it's perfect he's singing a duet with Sting.
So much charisma on one stage... Sting is actively captivating the audience... RDJ is just being himself, and achieving the same result. (Addendum, 3 years later) Very few people could pull off that particular hairstyle as well as Sting does... My compliments.
He is so damn gold!! Even though he is not young again, he still has the charisma, still handsome, hot and sexy. He gets older like a wine, older but better :"))
What a song! A barrage of cascading wonderful sounds and looks. The talent is dripping off these people in torrents. RDJ and Sting in one the coolest duets ever. 🥳
I love RDJ's voice and how he's enjoing it! To be honest i prefer the way how they're sing than the police does. (His voice is amazing! I can listen all of his songs all the time !❤) I love him as an actor, and as a singer 🥰😍 Thank you Robert for existing!
I have always thought he is incredibly talented. And damn he is a handsome man. Even my husband thinks so. I love the documentary on his father. It was very good. Now I know where he gets his looks. And he can sing too. Really terrific!
Doesn't play out? It's been 10 years since he took up the Tony Stark "gig" and it has been just about most successful role he took, which is saying much.
Yeah Palmer, Matthews, Sting combo is what I was thinking as well, although he was true to Sting's style with similar phrasing since it's a sting/police song performed with Sting. Perfect sense. Plus Rdj is from that era and most likely is influenced by late 70s/ early 80s music which might well be the most diverse era of music. Radio stations playlist had diverse styles then. Nowadays it would be considered extreme thus they rarely if at all ever do it. Then again that lack of freedom probably stifled both artist & listeners from growing & sharing musically. Ask the pros not the celebrities. The pros know. Though some great stuff gets through the cracks, the gate keepers of what gets released & heard basically have been cutting everyone's meat and serving them what they want you to hear for decades. It has shaped and cauterized possibly 2 generations. Woah that got ranty. Lol. Thank you Rdj for that performance and validation on so many levels
Robert Palmer sadly left us in 2003 - but RDJ sure channeled him on stage with Sting. I've watched this a few times over the years...and dropped by again after watchin' Howard Stern's interview with him about the performance. Still amazes me.
Why is Robert Downey JR. so ridiculously good at everything ??
Because he's Iron Man!
he enjoys life, unlike batman hahaha
bc he's Robert Downey Junior
Cause he's Tony Stark.
because he's a genius, billionaire, playboy philanthropist.
This is the most Tony Stark thing ever

No one did.

He was, but he basically used the saying "fake it til you make it" as solid advice.

😢😢😭😭😭❤👏
And a throat.
Excellent analogy!!!
He did had a heart
He fucking did
Robert Downey Jr is possibly cooler than Tony Stark.
And if he had to snap his fingers with all of the infinity stones he wouldn't die
They are the same person...it had been said many times that he was made for the role of Tony stark and they are very similar
fuck yah he is
also 2020 is going to be a mess
It's a tough call. Let's say synchonicity?
