    Annie Lennox has a genius IQ and the voice of a Siren. I would shipwreck myself to see her in concert again. Wrapped in what looked like leopard skin, feral and fearless, she tore the roof off the Orpheum. She's right up there with Paul Rodgers and Freddie, a rock goddess, born from original sin. She redeems us every time she sings a note. I hope she lives forever.

    LOL...only a perfectionist like her says " I tried " after delivering such a wonderful performance; the little technical fails actually add layers of expressiveness and meaning to this song. Sting was clearly moved and admired of how she took that song to the depth and emotional complexity he always intended for it.

    • @swedmiroswedmiro1352

      Her naked voice sets the song alight, dares to be vulnerable, dares to be weak. That is the strength of Annie Lennox.

    Like a block of cement, as soon as this song started, it immediately stopped Sting in his tracks and literally took him back to every single memory he has of this song. You can see it in his face..
    Only a few in the World that can do that and Annie Lennox is most certainly one of them. Wow!

    I remember a gloomy wet day at Gateshead stadium when the police were supported by U2
    It was so windy all the dry ice blew out the back of the stage .!!!!!

    Many years ago, I had the privilege of seeing Sting in concert and Annie opened for him. In fairness to Annie, she could’ve been the headliner. But it was an incredible show, all the way around, and they did a duet at the end. Both stellar performers!

  • @paulrandig
    @paulrandig ปีที่แล้ว +122

    This is pure skill. Have you noticed that she uses all of Stings' characteristic little pitch changes, his whole vocal expression, even the exact way he forms his voice and even the way of his breath. But she does not simply copy it. She takes all of what makes her voice great and lives his voice and his whole expression with it.

    • @graybeard2569

      I can't imagine the Palace of Auburn Hills is gone? We saw so many concerts and basketball games there. I lived only a half hour north. Did they tear it down or did they make it into some type of office space? Man that was crazy that they closed that arena barely 40 years Into its existence.
      I guess the Little Caesars Arena had something to do with it. They probably saw what was coming and there's no way without the Pistons that they were going to keep that place operating
