So many folks I wish would be inducted. Denzel Washington, Olivia Newton-John, Burt Bacharach, Susan Lucci, Diane Warren. Newcastle is also the birthplace of Cheryl Ann Tweedy of Girls Aloud. Not to compare but it shows it's not where you come from, it's where you end up.
I am a Jamaican 🇯🇲. And we here on this island 🏝️ 🇯🇲 💕 love ❤️, love & appreciate Sting and his music 🎶🎶🎵 And he loves us too. Congratulations on your award Sting 👏🏽💐 very much deserve. . And you are still a buzz 🐝.😅. You rock 🕺🏾🎸. Rock on family🙏🏾🤗🥰💖
Ei ! Lindo ver Sting ser homenageado por estas feras da música ! Nós brasileiros o amamos por ele respeitar nossos povos indígenas! Viva Sting e Cacique Raony !❤
Sting's original version uses some weird Hungarian alternating 4/5 rhythm. Bruce just took out the odd numbered beat to smooth it out. I think Sting actually started performing it that way on occasion as well.
Back in the early 1980s I was a dairy production manager at Associated Dairies in Newcastle. One morning I went across to the canteen for breakfast - probably about 7am (I didn't always have time) - the canteen was busy (long trestle tables) but there was unaccountably lots of room around three guys having their breakfast. I sat down opposite them with a smile and a "morning". I was well into my breakfast by the time I realised that one of them was Sting. It turned out he was back home and was out helping his dad who was a bottled milk buyer customer of the dairy the other chap was his brother.
Esperanza Spalding's vocal performance (aside from the excellent instrumentation, of course) is unbelievably beautiful yet warmly sensual. Herbie Hancock's piano playing is like raindrops on a windowsill. Just an enchanting experience, even in the midst of some very strong performances.
Sting has been through the worst. He is the best writer, so he wrote a movie to get rid of music block! He also began writing with Eric Clapton. Eric taught him about loss and Sting started Writing from inside. Every song teaches me something! Great comment!!! Sting is my favorite artist once he left The Police. Fragile we are.🎉
18:37 Bruno is absolutely killing at this point in the song. I love how it transitions from a super-chill reggae feel and explodes to a rockin' ending with the choir!
Lady Gaga was AMAZING. The way Sting and his wife Trudy turn their faces and realise at the beginning of that performance that watching this woman perform one of his songs is going to be special💜
The Kennedy Center Honors have created some amazing, memorable individual performances, but I think as an overall package, this one was the strongest I've seen. From Gaga to Bruno, they all rocked it.
You don't really understand what impact Sting made on music until you hear these fantastic tributes. It all puts it into perspective and makes you really think about Sting's timeless career
Timeless talent that many do not give him enough credit. Brunos tribute is about how Sting influenced him and even John Mayer gives him credit while sitting in his room listening to King of pain. Thank you Sting. Thank you
The Boss just sung a Sting song, didn`t you know that all great people lean to the left? you sound a bit weird mate, and really not that special..lace your boots and bugger off!
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal cover performances of WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU and ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
One day I put Sting's songs on a CD and put in our family van. That's how my wife became a fan of him. Years later my daughter who is an young adult now told me that she raided my computer and downloaded all of my music collection. She told me of all the artist she loves and one of them is Sting. She treasures these songs as they remind her of all those good child memories when we traveled in our van and listen to and often sang-along to them. My daughter got good taste in music after all...
I remember dancing in my parents’ living room to Sting, back when I was still their only child, standing on my dad’s feet as we danced around the room. Now, as an adult, I can’t hear his songs without crying for the sweet nostalgia that they conjure within me. Your daughter will treasure the connection you share over his music for the rest of her life.
Only Sting can make such dreary topics sound upbeat and make listeners want to dance. I thank God every day for Sting's existence. Every little thing "he" does is magic.
Kann man so unzählig viele einzigartige Meisterwerke überhaupt in einem einzigen Leben erschaffen? JA, Sting konnte es. Jedes einzelne Lied ein ein Ohrenschmaus und Seelenbalsam!
@@bbdd2145 Wtf do you think "So lonely" is? if not a pop song? You want to hear someone "slaughter it"? Listen to Sting on the Police reunion tour. Bruno Mars gave it life like Sting did 40 years ago nd it's not that Sting was too old he just acted like he was doing everyone a favor by being there.
That was FANTASTIC. The best and the brightest were called in for this magnificent Tribute, which is apropos of Sting, who is among the best and brightest of 20th and 21st-century popular musical talents. How come I am just now seeing this nearly 10 years since this performance transpired? No matter: It was well worth the wait to see it now. 😀
Once again, EVERY performer NAILED IT... not only delivering a cover worth remembering but delivering a reinterpretation that is brilliant in its own right... HOLY CRAP! Herbie Hancock, Bruno, Lady Gaga, the BOSS bring tears of joy!
Lady Gaga was scorching; Esperanza achingly emotive. Bruno killed it, but...Bruce. Oh my God. Powerful, gut wrenching. He turned Sting's song into his own.
Meryl! Bruce! Gaga! Bruno! Herbie! And Esperanza was glorious! And they got the cast from the Last Ship! And Sting was so gracious and overjoyed and crying! That was one of the best tributes I have seen. Period.
Sting there are not enough words. He is my ultimate favorite artist of all time. There is a connection to every lyric, and the texture of his voice is like breath itself. I could breath in his music and hope I do throughout my days!
Bloody hell.... I thought i had seen the motherload..after the Led Zeppelin honors show.. Such incredible emotion.. Then... i saw this one.. Damn.. I'm speechless. Gaga gave it all.. the Boss brought such density.. incredible. B. Mars very solid.. through such a different styled medley. And man.. Esperanza Spalding just stole the show.. I mean.. such class.. grace.. and skill.. Such musicality .. and those Herbie Hancock harmonic fills.. They did what was truly difficult to do -> make those songs even greater. I feel priviliged .. to watch this. thank you!
It says everything you need to hear about your career when you have Lady Gaga, Esperanza Spalding, Herbie Hancock, Bruce Springsteen and Bruno Mars come out and play your tunes for you. Sting has crossed so any boundaries, a true connoisseur of the music of the world that the world itself has appreciated. A musicians musician. Despite all that, he can't clap for shit.
He may be clapping intentionally that way. That's the way they clap for example in Ethiopia, in Morocco, and in Spain (Flamenco). Probably some other countries as well. It is much louder and clearer if you hit it right. Important for the fast, intricate, and multi-layered clapping in their traditional misic. He's been studying world music so I'm sure he picked it up from somewhere.
In case ur wondering, Sting is clapping like that to increase the volume of each clap (not that it matters in a crowd of that size, but anyway.) Try it urself. If you clap with ur fingers spread apart and your palms flat and open like that, the decibel level of your clap is NOTICEABLY louder. It's akin to yelling Bravo! instead of just clapping. Gives it a little more oompf. Plain and simple.
one of the best songwriters we have ever produced ,is lyrics are always so awesome and stunning he is a genius we brits should be very proud of him I know he is rich and can be pompous sometimes but he is great.
That's an example of great musicianship. Great songs in a new dress performed by peers. Everyone nailed it in a new way. And btw - what a superb band!!! Thanks, Mr. President
wow Esperanza have got such a voice!!! Amazing!! And her performance is brilliant, pure and magnificient!! Loved Bruno Mars performance, he makes everyone dance....
I'm back - last time I loved Gaga, this time it was Bruce. You can't teach that kind of soul-searching. That's the Boss bringing his own life to Sting's music. Just awesome.
After this performance I suddenly realized how great author Sting is, and how great performer Lady Gaga is. She should record a live album with all the Sting's songs.
Two of my favorite artists: past and present. Sting and Bruno Mars! From the day I arrived on campus and heard the Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me" playing in Harvard Yard, I have been a Sting fan! Great tribute...especially by Bruno!
17:57...........Trudy singing along......... She knows all those songs, because she happens to have this husband who goes by the name of STING!! Watching her at the Kennedy Center Honors is GREAT!!!
This was and will remain the moat beautiful thing I have seen in my life. This god of a musician clapping his hands giddily like the child (children) we all are listening to his music. Reciprocal admiration. Thank heavens for Sting! (And all these wonderful musicians with their remarkable tributes)
This was an exceptional night, with stars of a brilliance outshining many other years. It was a tangible reminder of how great America's arts can be. And then we had a president who did not attend a single Kennedy Honors night during his presidency. He knew he would be outclassed and shown up for his inadequacies.
OMG! I hadn't seen this warm homage until now!.....wow, Wonderful and exciting! it feels the emotion of friendship... (the boss is the boss....finest Spalding, Herbie's touch, Gaga and Mars rocked, what an idea!) So much high level performances and like Mrs Meryl Streep said, what is next?? He has the only answer with the genius curiosity and the god blessing.... Many years more, many years more. THANK YOU Mr Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner for all your inspiration and motivation for ever!.... musicians make the life sweet....real truth!
I grew up with this music university, girlfriends classmates that represents my golden moments thanks Sting for your music compousing poems for the planet.
It must be delightful for these artists being their music covered by another artists not necessarily from the same genre or time period. That attest how universal music is.
After many years of personal distractions, something brought me to this superb video. Lifting me up beyond my expectations. Thank you all superb musicians - I was born in the wrong World

Aren't they just glorious and when down ... Rewind them
They are the best shows there just phenomenal
Bruno will honored by the Kennedy Center one day no doubt!

And that’s why Bruce is still the boss...he sang that song as if it were his own...freaking amazing!
Sting's original version uses some weird Hungarian alternating 4/5 rhythm. Bruce just took out the odd numbered beat to smooth it out. I think Sting actually started performing it that way on occasion as well.
I admire musicians so much. I took piano lessons as a kid. Maybe I should start playing again.
Exact
Foi péssimo kkkkk
@@BDUBZ49 If you find 4/5 weird that says more about you. Those 4/4 rhythms are boring af.

Any project sting touches turns to gold
Esperanza Spalding is an absolute genius. But she doesn't care for hit songs so too few people are aware of her.
at the end you can see Sting gasping for air😆
Agreed. She looks like she’s making love with her bass. Truly passionate
Springsteen covering Sting, one of those perfect moments, such mutual respect and admiration, hate the cliches , but a bromance in the best of light.
Sting covering Bruce at his Kennedy Center honor is just as excellent. I cried for the whole performance.
It's imposible not to love and admire a guy like Sting. His work both in The Police and solist are simply LEGENDARY.
Yes, He is awesome.
Sting has been through the worst. He is the best writer, so he wrote a movie to get rid of music block! He also began writing with Eric Clapton. Eric taught him about loss and Sting started
Writing from inside. Every song teaches me something! Great comment!!! Sting is my favorite artist once he left The Police. Fragile we are.🎉
18:37 Bruno is absolutely killing at this point in the song. I love how it transitions from a super-chill reggae feel and explodes to a rockin' ending with the choir!
Lady Gaga was AMAZING. The way Sting and his wife Trudy turn their faces and realise at the beginning of that performance that watching this woman perform one of his songs is going to be special💜
It's awesome how choked up he gets throughout. Also, it's cool to see how happy Trudi is, singing along. She has aged extremely well. :-)
The Kennedy Center Honors have created some amazing, memorable individual performances, but I think as an overall package, this one was the strongest I've seen. From Gaga to Bruno, they all rocked it.
Pleasantly surprised by Lady Gaga.
Every single performer went out there to honor Sting by giving it their best, and every single one of them did.
I liked the 2013 show.... and who doesn't think Heart's cover of 'Stairway to Heaven' isn't one of the best ever?
@@imuawarriors for sure. Foo fighets were also great
2012 Led Zeppelin was epic
His realization when the cast members came on stage just made me so happy
I don't know if I'm the only one but Bruno Mars' ''sending out an SOS'' just gave me the chills! His voice is incredible!
You don't really understand what impact Sting made on music until you hear these fantastic tributes. It all puts it into perspective and makes you really think about Sting's timeless career
Timeless talent that many do not give him enough credit. Brunos tribute is about how Sting influenced him and even John Mayer gives him credit while sitting in his room listening to King of pain. Thank you Sting. Thank you
yeah, i remember him in Dune mostly, that and Roxanne (mostly because Eddie Murphy sang it in Beverly Hills Cop) :^}
@jane rae You really think American rock is better than British rock?
The Boss just sung a Sting song, didn`t you know that all great people lean to the left? you sound a bit weird mate, and really not that special..lace your boots and bugger off!
Well
I could listen to Bruno all day. Awesome voice. Awesome music by Sting. Classic.
Spalding & Hancock were the highlight for me. Classy, haunting, emotional.. everything I love about Sting's music
O
Very much in tune with his newer sound too...very impressive.
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal cover performances of WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU and ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no digital editing. Thanks and peace.
AMEN TO THAT !!!
Edwin James Pope Agreed, they were phenomenal
I used to be madly in love with Sting in the 70’s. Still love his music!
I'm not a Bruno Mars fan but he absolutely killed the performance on this tribute
One day I put Sting's songs on a CD and put in our family van. That's how my wife became a fan of him.

Now, as an adult, I can’t hear his songs without crying for the sweet nostalgia that they conjure within me.

Only Sting can make such dreary topics sound upbeat and make listeners want to dance. I thank God every day for Sting's existence. Every little thing "he" does is magic.

Kann man so unzählig viele einzigartige Meisterwerke überhaupt in einem einzigen Leben erschaffen? JA, Sting konnte es. Jedes einzelne Lied ein ein Ohrenschmaus und Seelenbalsam!
That was amazing.. Brunos voice is perfect for Stings songs.. So good..
Esperanza Spalding nailed the phrasing and vocals singing "Fragile". She nailed the bassline and rocked the standup bass. What a cool chic!
Beautiful!
You can see how much Sting truly appreciates and is humbled by these performances.....
Wow. When Bruno busted out into "So Lonely" my jaw dropped. He absolutely nailed it. Amazing.
He slaughtered it and should stick to pop songs
Timmy G Xq
@@bbdd2145 Not quite dude...he blew the room away....
@@bbdd2145 Wtf do you think "So lonely" is? if not a pop song? You want to hear someone "slaughter it"? Listen to Sting on the Police reunion tour. Bruno Mars gave it life like Sting did 40 years ago nd it's not that Sting was too old he just acted like he was doing everyone a favor by being there.
@@bbdd2145 So Lonely is a pop/reggae song idiot
Bruce...a legend gives another legend a nod......pay attention kids....we'll never this kind of music or artist admiration again
Good lord, Bruce. I never heard “hung my head” this story like. As if Bruce or Dylan had written it. Awesome.
Damn Bruce. I bet he could grab one of those Gaga's songs a tell a story about it. What a master!
Lady Gaga never ceases to amaze me. That girl can sing.
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha an idot wamen
Took the words right out of my mouth
Check out her Stevie Wonder tribute at the CBS Stevie Wonder Tribute: ua-cam.com/video/jqEOLwjV01U/v-deo.html
Yeah she tore it up
That was FANTASTIC. The best and the brightest were called in for this magnificent Tribute, which is apropos of Sting, who is among the best and brightest of 20th and 21st-century popular musical talents. How come I am just now seeing this nearly 10 years since this performance transpired? No matter: It was well worth the wait to see it now. 😀
I met Sting and Herbie Handcock (and a few other legends) on the same night at the 1990 Grammys!! Best night of my life
Awesome!
No one managed to carry the depth of emotion in song delivery like Bruce Springsteen.
It was Great!
Gaga definitely pulled as his heart seams
He's a master storyteller.
Equisite + sultry. ..Eperanza Spaulding + Herbie Hancock. . . oh so smooth
Brings all kind of emotions to the surface. In love ❤
"I hung my head" is one of the best songs I've ever heard. Listen to Johnny Cash's cover of it too, done in his 70s. Sting is a great songwriter.
Thank you for that. Thought I was the only one here moved by the song.
Very funny! 😂
Once again, EVERY performer NAILED IT... not only delivering a cover worth remembering but delivering a reinterpretation that is brilliant in its own right... HOLY CRAP! Herbie Hancock, Bruno, Lady Gaga, the BOSS bring tears of joy!
hotel foxtrot
Lady Gaga was scorching; Esperanza achingly emotive. Bruno killed it, but...Bruce. Oh my God. Powerful, gut wrenching. He turned Sting's song into his own.
that whole tribute was SO well deserved. what an artist he is
Sting is such a gentleman,a good human being that deserves a tribute like this.God bless him!
I simply do love Sting. He is so unique. Totally amazing. A great artist.One of the best of all times.
not to mention hes handsome too
A young girl many years ago that I knew had a boyfriend called Sterling. I nicknamed him... Sting.
Music knows NO boundaries. It is simply human expression of emotion and beauty.
He can't touch Glenn Tilbrooks shoes !!!
Man I am too young but yes Sting is celestial
Very touching when the cast of the Last Ship came out. Bruno totally rocked the place.
Sting got emotional when they came out 🥺
Bruno Mar's knock this out of the park...he really did.
out of all of Sting's songs I never expected Bruce Springsteen will sing "I Hung My Head" - his version was brilliant, mesmerizing. well done, Boss.
Meryl! Bruce! Gaga! Bruno! Herbie! And Esperanza was glorious! And they got the cast from the Last Ship! And Sting was so gracious and overjoyed and crying! That was one of the best tributes I have seen. Period.
19:16 for Sting getting all emotional and teary for it all, and his wife looking over at him and laughing.
una pregunta, perdon, sabes quienes eran todos ellos???
Alejandro Gomez Los hijos de Sting. Por eso se emocionó.
When Herbie Hancock playing your song on your tribute, clearly u're a real maestro ..
Thank you Mrs. Sting for sharing your husband's talent, songs and performances with us, his fans.
She stole him from his first wife who was her good friend. But she has the face she deserves now
😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂😂
Selflessness. Humility. Truthfulness. These are the three marks of an honorable man. Love you Sir🙏🙏🙏
Sting there are not enough words. He is my ultimate favorite artist of all time. There is a connection to every lyric, and the texture of his voice is like breath itself. I could breath in his music and hope I do throughout my days!
Bloody hell....
I thought i had seen the motherload..after the Led Zeppelin honors show.. Such incredible emotion..
Then... i saw this one..
Damn..
I'm speechless.
Gaga gave it all.. the Boss brought such density.. incredible.
B. Mars very solid.. through such a different styled medley.
And man.. Esperanza Spalding just stole the show.. I mean.. such class.. grace.. and skill.. Such musicality ..
and those Herbie Hancock harmonic fills..
They did what was truly difficult to do -> make those songs even greater.
I feel priviliged .. to watch this.
thank you!
Did you notice the "bridge" between the two? Shane Fontayne on lead guitar (here without the dye job).
It says everything you need to hear about your career when you have Lady Gaga, Esperanza Spalding, Herbie Hancock, Bruce Springsteen and Bruno Mars come out and play your tunes for you. Sting has crossed so any boundaries, a true connoisseur of the music of the world that the world itself has appreciated. A musicians musician.
Despite all that, he can't clap for shit.
Sting is Brilliant ❣️💋☮️🎶
He may be clapping intentionally that way. That's the way they clap for example in Ethiopia, in Morocco, and in Spain (Flamenco). Probably some other countries as well. It is much louder and clearer if you hit it right. Important for the fast, intricate, and multi-layered clapping in their traditional misic.
He's been studying world music so I'm sure he picked it up from somewhere.
I'm fascinated by the way Sting claps like a little kid
ikr! It's so darned adorable!
joy
Have you seen nicole kidman oscar clap? You gon love it too 🤣🤧
In case ur wondering, Sting is clapping like that to increase the volume of each clap (not that it matters in a crowd of that size, but anyway.) Try it urself. If you clap with ur fingers spread apart and your palms flat and open like that, the decibel level of your clap is NOTICEABLY louder. It's akin to yelling Bravo! instead of just clapping. Gives it a little more oompf. Plain and simple.
Canada loves how great artists are honoured for a life bringing joy to millions of people🇨🇦🇨🇦
Esperaza Spalding - I'm hearing her for the first time. Got chills... So much soul...
And Herbie wasn't even playing the same song....but he was, and it was brilliant
one of the best songwriters we have ever produced ,is lyrics are always so awesome and stunning he is a genius we brits should be very proud of him I know he is rich and can be pompous sometimes but he is great.
That's an example of great musicianship. Great songs in a new dress performed by peers. Everyone nailed it in a new way. And btw - what a superb band!!! Thanks, Mr. President
Yeah - great band!
Police were great....but his solo works... especially the first albums...are true masterpieces!!!! 💯🎵🎶
wow Esperanza have got such a voice!!! Amazing!! And her performance is brilliant, pure and magnificient!! Loved Bruno Mars performance, he makes everyone dance....
When he played in Copenhagen 🇩🇰 I was working as Security. He came and sat Down eating lunch With us. I have never experienced that before
Ej hvor fedt 🤗🙌🙌🙌🙌
Simple class.
I'm back - last time I loved Gaga, this time it was Bruce. You can't teach that kind of soul-searching. That's the Boss bringing his own life to Sting's music. Just awesome.
Let's all give a shout out to Mrs. Sting and the fam for sharing the love of their lives with us, his fans!
Yes. She clearly loves the music as much as his fans.
After this performance I suddenly realized how great author Sting is, and how great performer Lady Gaga is. She should record a live album with all the Sting's songs.
A collab--a duet--would be a blast.
I will buy that one.
Nope. I felt that her performance was overzealous. The woman who did Fragile was wonderful, and Bruno was amazing!
Some of the greatest performances of all time come down to performances from great talents that give so much to praise the best ever.
Ещё в том году смотрела эти видео, спасибо, и помню!!! Помню-где, когда и от куда!!!
Fun to watch these Kennedy Center honorees fight back tears for being appreciated. A moment every artist dreams of.
The end where everyone comes out to serenade him is breathtaking..
Two of my favorite artists: past and present. Sting and Bruno Mars! From the day I arrived on campus and heard the Police's "Don't Stand So Close to Me" playing in Harvard Yard, I have been a Sting fan! Great tribute...especially by Bruno!
17:57...........Trudy singing along......... She knows all those songs, because she happens to have this husband who goes by the name of STING!! Watching her at the Kennedy Center Honors is GREAT!!!
Sting Sting, I listened to his music back in Mexico when I was a teen and loved it. With Police and on his own, always the best..
Sting's little sparkle drop on his eyes are everything.
This was and will remain the moat beautiful thing I have seen in my life.
This god of a musician clapping his hands giddily like the child (children) we all are listening to his music. Reciprocal admiration.
Thank heavens for Sting! (And all these wonderful musicians with their remarkable tributes)
Love how Sting his wife is singing along with Bruno at 17:58
If the Boss sings your Song...you´ve nailed it!
This was an exceptional night, with stars of a brilliance outshining many other years. It was a tangible reminder of how great America's arts can be. And then we had a president who did not attend a single Kennedy Honors night during his presidency. He knew he would be outclassed and shown up for his inadequacies.
IMHO, you must have a pleasurable, creative intellectual mind to appreciate the arts, trump doesn't have those characteristics.
@@grandrapladyakaamb2438 -- I think you are very perceptive, a good judge of character (or in this case the lack of it). Be well, and keep smiling.
I grew up listening this legend, bring me all good memories, love this guy! THX STING!
Esperanza just stole my heart, sang to my soul and meltedf the stone of a lifetime. WOW! Oh, and I think Sting kinda like her as well.
Emocionante! Difícil quedarse insensible ante un homenaje a un grande la música actual. Larga vida
Sting!!! Saludos desde Perú!
OMG! I hadn't seen this warm homage until now!.....wow, Wonderful and exciting! it feels the emotion of friendship...
(the boss is the boss....finest Spalding, Herbie's touch, Gaga and Mars rocked, what an idea!)
So much high level performances and like Mrs Meryl Streep said, what is next??
He has the only answer
with the genius curiosity and the god blessing....
Many years more, many years more.
THANK YOU Mr Gordon Matthew Thomas Sumner for all your inspiration and motivation for ever!....
musicians make the life sweet....real truth!
You know you’re good when Bruce shows up to pay tribute.
Esparanza is beautiful! What a wonderful rendition of an incredible song.
Esperaza's version of "Fragile"is the best cover I've heard so far!
Overwhelmed with the talent paying tribute to Sting.
i love Bruce Springsteen .He is so intense and you can just feel and visulize every word when he sings.
One of the best tributes I have seen. Shows the impact and beauty of Sting and his music
I just love how musicians are cheering between them by 19:54 of this excellent mini concert
Gaga and Bruno were so daaaaamn perfect and powerful!
Talk about constant goosebumps and teary eyes!!! This guy is an absolute legend
You can tell that Sting is very moved by these icons of today’s music singing his music. If you look carefully you can see tears in his eyes at times.
I grew up with this music university, girlfriends classmates that represents my golden moments thanks Sting for your music compousing poems for the planet.
Das war großartig, alle Künstler das Feinste, was man sich vorstellen kann, ich habe es genossen.
I missed Eva Cassidy not being there with her splendid rendition of Fields of Gold. R.I.P. her beautiful soul❤
That so lonely by Mars is absolutely extraordinaire
I came here for Esperaza Spalding and Bruno Mars. Phenomenal performances!!!! Love them both.
I lost my faith in science and religion along time ago......30 years. I put my faith in LOVE for humanity. xxx
He looked so moved, at the edge of the tears. Sting you're wonderful!
It must be delightful for these artists being their music covered by another artists not necessarily from the same genre or time period. That attest how universal music is.
After many years of personal distractions, something brought me to this superb video. Lifting me up beyond my expectations. Thank you all superb musicians - I was born in the wrong World
Unexpect Unbelievable Uncredible Sting Tribute thanks for this clip very happy to cry for my enjoy. From Italy
Bloody awesome. I don't mind these figures being honored. We have been lifted by our fave tunes a billion times.
Bruno KILLED it! Fab!!!!
