No disrespect to Jose Feliciano, but how did this get approved? I agree from comments below, "...I'll be watching you?" Really? Out of Stings entire library of incredible songs, this one was chosen for Jose Feliciano? I would really love to know the true meaning behind this selection. As some comments said, Jose must not like Sting too much, or is it "You better perform this song our you won't be involved in this event." My opinion, its at 2:28 when Sting looks down then covers up a smile, is when he realized the song choice. Before that it was just a man watching his song being preformed..."differently."
Its actually a lot and difficult to memorize: Every breath you take Every move you make Every bond you break Every step you take Every single day Every word you say Every game you play Every night you stay Every move you make Every vow you break Every smile you fake Every claim you stake Every breath you take Can you remember all that in order?
@@hexahexametermeterStop it, hex. You're being too rational, this is the UA-cam comment section. We must be negative everywhere and give credit to no one! 🤬🤬
It’s awesome how as soon as the song starts, the audience is cheering and clapping and bouncing along but then Jose starts singing and by the end, everyone is just frozen in shock, except that one lady who seems to be loving the whole thing.
That's Victoria of Sweden. Her husband on her left and her parents the king and queen of Sweden on her right. It seems that her poor taste in music wasn't passed on from her father, seeing his uneasiness
@@RayN49208 It's like people praizing Bob Dylan for being so creative that he never plays his guitar same way twice, when in reality he's forgotten what notes to play and just picking strings randomly.
@@danfors1333I agree that praising him for it like it's a super unique ability is a little odd maybe but I don't think 'plucking strings randomly' is a good way to put it, he still has to know and stay within the key of the song otherwise it would sound horrible
Both are protected, and no one would ever be able to explain to Jose about face expression, gestures, embarrassment, or body language!!! Sting could say of Jose, that it was a nice try!!!
Perfect! 😄 Pure Jose Feliciano, random polyrythms interjected with polymetered guitar solos, not to mention the bombastic anti-fibonacci dirge of the diva.. bravo!! 👏🏻 Sting was overwhelmed with joy..🥲
Props to Sting for being a gentleman and sitting through this performance. He endured every breath, and every move. He watched it. And now he's going on a killing spree.
This was meant as a praise to Sting from Feliciano. Good or bad performance does not matter, pretty sure it is from Felicianos heart. Sting should appreciate that. Yes, it was horrible.
@mudfly3 That's a bit mean. She was hit by a car and suffered facial injuries when she was little and had to suffer through multiple plastic surgeries as a child.
This is like when your friends dad stumbles in the room drunk while you're practicing, brags about how he use to be "pretty damn good" in his day, asks to play your guitar, then belts out some shit like this thinking he's killing it.
I disagree. I think it was a great performance. Feliciano has more prizes than sting can sing in more languages. He just played his own version, not an imitation of the same song
@@AlainHubert who cares? Sting is not even half of an artist of Jose. Feliciano is a super star not only in English but also in Spanish. The problem is that there are so many ignorant people like you who doesn’t know anything about the rest of the World. That is not the fault of Feliciano, it’s your fault.
Jose botches the first verse, but the rest is in his style. If you watch any other performance from that night, Sting looks equally nervous/uncomfortable.
This performance was absolutely perfect in a way that absolutely nothing was in sync: the music, Jose, the back-up vocalist, tempo, NOTHING. A perfect trainwreck.
Jose does alot of stutter-stepping with time signatures in his songs, and its usually ad-libbed. works alot of the time but this song relies on keeping the same meter throughout. when the meter is interrupted, it sticks out like a sore thumb. Sting was visibly wincing at this.
I just want to thank Sting for keeping his cool. That must have been a tremendous amount of pressure for him to hold back. Sting should get an academy award for this performance !!
people getting triggered, i get it, you mean that Sting singing Feliz Navidad would be funny just for the possible revenge of him butchering Jose Feliciano's song just from spite lol
I wish I had half as much enthusiasm as that one woman sitting 2 seats away from Sting who was bopping away on her own 🤣 After reading the comments it seems that she is actually the King's daughter Victoria! God bless her enthusiasm for this classic! Lol
I think José is one of the greatest most versatile performers ever, and I also think he must not like Sting or have much respect for him... That was brutal 😀
She probably had to look like she was enjoying it. Being the princess of Sweden, her family was hosting and probably at least partially bankrolling it.
Why the fuck would you even do this lmfao? Imagine doing a cover of a famous spanish song and randomly stopping in the middle just to say a sentence in english
The "cool dudes" nodding in appreciation / tapping their feet / jangling their jewellery / getting down with the groove ... Totally unaware that our Geordie Boy is screaming inwardly for Scotty to beam him up ..
I worked with some professional Trombone players yesterday - the regular guys couldn't make it. We hired some deps and they sat glued to the score all night, too. They had never played with the band before, had no rehearsal at all and didn't know the songs - but played the entire set with no mistakes. I just wonder - how much rehearsal did these musicians get? And we are criticising them for reading the score?
Thanks for the laugh this morning. I love Jose' Feliciano, and Sting. Watching Stings facial expression and hand movements is priceless ❤💘 It seems Sting is desperately trying to stay in his seat and endure the pain
Probably a typical case of people not strong enough to be honest while the whole thing is being managed by a suit who thinks he's smarter than everyone.
When the shot got wider and I saw the giant cornball heart in the clouds on the screen my eyes started streaming laughter tears. This is the funniest thing in existence. Stings face, he keeps touching it like I do just before I can't take it anymore and I get up and leave somewhere.
I’m old enough to take José Feliciano as a great musician and guitar player back in the ‘60s, but man, this video reminds me the title of an old Roberta Flack hit: “Killing me softly with his song”

Between the 2-minute 30-second and 3-minute timestamp mark, the camera focuses on the Crown Princess of Sweden dancing/swaying to the music in her seat. Her husband is seated between her and Sting. Sting is 26 years older than her. She was not even 6 years old when "Every Breath You Take" was first released. Incidentally she will be known as the queen monarch, The Queen Victoria of Sweden after her father King Gustav's reign ends. Princess Victoria of Sweden and Prince William of UK are 5th cousins whose one common pair out of 32-pairs of great-great-great-great-grandparents was Queen Victoria & Prince Albert.
This is the most hilarious performance I've ever seen. The fact that Sting is right there and has to endure the entire thing, sting indeed. Utterly horrendous in every way!
Not so much that it's bad but this song is simple. They tried to over complicate the arrangement with the fingerstyle guitar, the orchestra and the over the top back up singing. It's too much it just doesn't fit the song.
There was actual parts that were out of harmony with the rest. Wrong chords, wrong key, wrong notes... Even off-beat. Like, holy fuck. Whoever put together the sheet music royally fucked up.
I love how they end it with „everything you say“, which is not even remotely part of the lyrics. This performance is a comedic masterpiece, except that it isn’t comedic and definitely not a masterpiece. Props to sting for his self control not to break. Everything about those four minutes is hilarious 😂
@@carlitosgonzalez924 they didnt say anything remotely racist, you think they're racist just because they greengoes? That's racist. Estas cancelado wey

She was not even 6 years old when "Every Breath You Take" was first released.
Incidentally she will be known as the queen monarch, The Queen Victoria of Sweden after her father King Gustav's reign ends.
Princess Victoria of Sweden and Prince William of UK are 5th cousins whose one common pair out of 32-pairs of great-great-great-great-grandparents was Queen Victoria & Prince Albert.
Never gets old
That's why I love Spanish language, as there are several ways to call Sting in this video, but one that I like the most is: QUE CEROTE!
This is the most hilarious performance I've ever seen. The fact that Sting is right there and has to endure the entire thing, sting indeed. Utterly horrendous in every way!
So....they had a blind man sing....." I'll be WATCHING you" ? Hmmm
Blind and tone deaf.
Omg I didn’t even think of that
“Hey, I know: Let’s get José Feliciano! I mean, “‘Feliz Navidad’ rocked, right? Right? C’mon, man, it’ll be a gas!”
Not so much that it's bad but this song is simple. They tried to over complicate the arrangement with the fingerstyle guitar, the orchestra and the over the top back up singing. It's too much it just doesn't fit the song.
There was actual parts that were out of harmony with the rest. Wrong chords, wrong key, wrong notes... Even off-beat. Like, holy fuck. Whoever put together the sheet music royally fucked up.
I love how they end it with „everything you say“, which is not even remotely part of the lyrics. This performance is a comedic masterpiece, except that it isn’t comedic and definitely not a masterpiece. Props to sting for his self control not to break. Everything about those four minutes is hilarious 😂
Jose threw that in because he- well, depends on that sense more?
I’m honestly astonished this wasn’t satire, everything just fits to create this unbearable yet hilarious piece of garbage.
When legendary is not that legendary but at the same time it's so fkn unique that is LEGENDARY!
The best way to kill a masterpiece
This song sucks anyway😂 wayy overplayed and overrated
Develop a taste in music
Not a masterpiece AT ALL
Jose is a legend, but he seems like a strange choice for this song.
this is legendarily bad
A very bad legend.
Racists!
@@carlitosgonzalez924 they didnt say anything remotely racist, you think they're racist just because they greengoes? That's racist. Estas cancelado wey
2:15 well yeah… it’s a blind guy singing “oh can’t you see” and 2:44 “I’ll be watching you”
