2:06 tháts the only moment where you can hear that only Sting has thát voice. For the rest, this is spectaculairly done by Bruno Mars. hands down, véry impressive indeed.
Why do I feel every tribute Bruno Mars needs to be part of it .... This man is honestly the only man that's still keeping the old music alive right now
@@aniketkumar197 It's not. He can definitely 'sing' as well as sting can. But in songwriting skills, sting is a master. It's hard to even compare very accomplished composers to sting, even the old ones. But yeah, bruno can definitely sing as good as if not better than sting.
@@fazzification well the other guy was behaving as if bruno is Jst a local street musician... Lol 😂.. And he meant that sting's song writing alone >> Bruno's entire musicality.. Thts wat i found wrong..
@@JKLeScH777 Wow! Nobody's more woke than Sting, Trudy Styler, Lady Gaga, the Boss, Meryl Streep, President Obama and Michelle, Tom Hanks and Rita Wison, Lily Tomlin or Bruno Mars. Who's broke now? 😅😂✌️
Holy shit I never realized how amazingly talented Bruno Mars is until I started watching all his live performances and some tributes he has done. This performance blew me away. Bruno honors Sting by singing his songs, yet makes them his own/puts a touch of Bruno in them. Incredibly talented
Have you not seen his super bowl performance it's better than anything I've ever seen in my life!!!!!! Probably most underrated Superbowl performance cuz people didn't think it would be anything
I put him in the talent level with Prince and Michael Jackson. His songwriting is prolific, and he has been performing since he was a small child. He plays multiple instruments, can obviously sing and doesn’t dance too badly either. Dude is the complete package!
A Prince tribute, an Amy Winehouse tribute and this one. Bruno is phenomenal talent! All these great singers have different type of music and voice but this guy nailed it all.
That gesture from Sting @ 1:05 was like: "Yes! He's hitting it just right!" The fact that Sting glaringly approves of Bruno Mars' cover of his songs validation enough. THIS is how you honor a living legend. I grew up on Sting's music, first with The Police in the late 70's-early 80's, then his solo career after. I can safely say that Bruno Mars is the heir to the throne.
I was expecting Oooo Yeah turned into Locked out of Heaven lyrics. Bruno Mars should do mashup of Message and Heaven with The Police as a backing band.
Hawaii and island boy Bruno was the perfect artist to sing this reggae-inspired So Lonely and Message in a Bottle. His falsetto and rhythm were in the pocket.
I have to imagine that Bruno was not happy about the song selection or the key in which it was saying. Because he's such a good singer and it was so high in his range that he didn't have room to show his stuff while still paying tribute
They must have him on speed dial - when they need tributes done, he seems to be the "go to" guy. That was beautiful and Sting loved it! The pure joy on his face said it all. He's done Amy Winehouse, Prince, Little Richard ... he always seems to capture the artist's essence. #LoveHim
Saw Bruno at Red Rocks. Front row. Absolutely killed it. Not a fan before but my wife talked me into. Sang and danced my ass off. I don't do that. He killed it!
La cara de bruno cuando pisa el escenario es de compromiso, me imagino no es nada facil homenajear a >Sting ahi pero lo hace de una forma respetuosa y maravillosa
This man is the best singer around thank to his parents bringing him in this world, I went to see the Police in 83 at Olympic stadium Montreal now I’m 52 sick with diabetes and COPD on oxygen and when I play Bruno Mars I fell 20 again thanks Peter🙏🇨🇦🇮🇹🇬🇧😎
Magnificent cover of two of the biggest hits by The Police. Bruno Mars is very talented, he respects the original versions and, at the same time, brings his own touch. Sting looks impressed and moved. Bravo Bruno 👏🎸👏
@@dazzahoward7104 Some opinions are wrong and that's one of them. You don't get to stand on that stage and perform Sting's own song to him by being "rubbish". Clean your ears.
My wife and I have said before if NOTHING else he's a great "reporter." And he's crazy good at writing the quintessential genre/band song. Like how Locked Out of Heaven sounds more like the Police than sometimes the Police did.
@@Googerstein Yes, somehow he manages to encapsulate that archetypal sound without sounding like a tired pastiche. It's so redictble and unoriginal but it doesn't seem cheap and tasteless at all??? He's too good.
Oh, THAT'S who he saw on stage. I have wondered about that since I first saw this video. I confess to not having followed that musical, even though I like musicals. I saw one of the songs on Letterman, I think, around the time that Sting was appearing in the show to try to get an audience. Thanks for the clarification. That explains the emotion, since putting a musical together is a ton of work, involving a ton of people. Successful or not, I know those people are special to him.
Sounds like a song written just for Bruno!
One day Bruno will be honored at the Kennedy center.
True 🙏🏼
the one gonna do tribute to him probably not born yet..LOL
Absolutely ❤️😍❤️
Wok center
But there’s still a long way to go for that day to come
The definition of don’t wait for a man to die to give him his flowers
I'll borrow that quote.
@ not mine brother but I’m glad to do my part in spreading that philosophy
Sting's facial expressions said it all. Bruno, the band and all those that came on stage to sing along with him killed it.
Like Heart singing Led Zeppelin.
@@MsWarriordiva not quite but still great
I'm curious, who are those people he seemed really happy to see?
@@goffredo29 I was wondering the same thing, I think maybe the other cast members from one of his shows when he was on Broadway
Too bad we had endure the shots of the idiot Odumbo and The Beast. Gag me with a Volvo.
Sting is one extremely hard person to impress. Wow!
2:06 tháts the only moment where you can hear that only Sting has thát voice. For the rest, this is spectaculairly done by Bruno Mars. hands down, véry impressive indeed.
Mighty Mouse io
Mighty Mouse bruno❤️❤️❤️❤️best ever
OK Bruno is pure talent
Wooooowwww!!!!
WoW, He is not from this Planet. he is from Mars...Very talented..
The song „So lonely” fits so well to Bruno Mars`s voice timbre.
I was just about to say this. I can't imagine any other modern singer who could fill Sting's vocals like that. Bruno sounded brilliant singing it.
He needs to release a full cover of this song. Like NOW
@@nba_fan7214 Exactly!
@@LaineMann Yes!!!
I thought it was a little too high for him, was it not?
How Bruno pulls the mic away to give it that depth of someone calling for help is pretty fucking amazing
That`s an old trick,watch Paul Rodgers singing in Free if you want to see the master of the art
@mjh5437 C'mon man, no need to compare. Just enjoy it. Bruno killed it.
I done it on karaoke, but the mic got pulled away.😭
Wow, Bruno Mars is definitely the best male singer we have right now.
Did u check out LTDO?
@@whatyoulookingat4294 I did and it is completely mesmerizing. His vocals are heavenly.
And mover
either bruno or conor mayson
I would disagree. But he is one of the best all round entertainers and musician/songwriters.
This tribute should be for all the members of the police not just Sting
Sting is the Maestro of this song
This is and always has been a tribute to Sue Lawley British news reader.
Even Sting's wife knows Bruno knocked it out of the ballpark. Phenomenal performance
You can tell that sting is analysing every note... And he's liking what he hears
haha! Yes and yes! Nothing better than watching musicians/artists enjoying other musicians/artists because they know how hard it is.
And we're liking what we hear too!!
Bruno is one of those dudes you listen to when your happy and your sad . He is that dude
you're*
What happened to Bruno? MIA past 8 years
Bruno's lock out in heaven shows that he really a fans of sting
Freaking A!!! Bruno blew Sting away😂😂😂!!!
Bruno can sing anything! He's amazing!
Why do I feel every tribute Bruno Mars needs to be part of it .... This man is honestly the only man that's still keeping the old music alive right now
Love how he screams... message in a bottle...
Damn tru
so true...pure talent
True.
The only young man.
Sting’s like “Damn...he’s as good as me.” I can die happy.
Not even close. Bruno is decent, but Sting is leagues ahead in songwriting accomplishments alone.
@@djtoman6875 it's debatable.. But remove tht even close fr fucks sake.. Don't need to undermine today's artists to call the one's of the past gr8

i have a lot more respect for bruno mars as an artist after seeing this video
Pure talent
I wasn't a huge fan originally. Yay. Another bop. Woohoo. But the man has range. And he is a pure entertainer.
ikr
freakin' bruno mars makes every song a bit better. even the great ones! pure talent, indeed!
Pena em castellano
@@taliciasmith3958 yeah I was doubtful of Bruno's talent, now I am a believer!
Sting's expression says it all. This was a great tribute for the legendary Sting.
His expression showed he didn’t like it. Go woke go broke
@@JKLeScH777 it showed appreciation, lol it seems you can't read people's expressions very well 💀
@@JKLeScH777 Wow! Nobody's more woke than Sting, Trudy Styler, Lady Gaga, the Boss, Meryl Streep, President Obama and Michelle, Tom Hanks and Rita Wison, Lily Tomlin or Bruno Mars.

@@patthenry3568 most of those people may have material wealth but are morally broke
@@JKLeScH777yeah you have mental health
Bruno's tribute covers are one of the few that actually does justice.
We need a full bruno mars version of so lonely
Talk about turning a room full of sceptics to believers. That Bruno has pipes.
Mars is a rare artist of today's music
Bruno and Adele Chefkiss
2:20 you know Bruno is Killin it when that neck vein is poppin
I love this. I don't think I have ever seen Sting so visually happy
What really made him emotional was when all the performers from his musical came onstage. I think he considers it his life’s work more than anything.
Holy shit I never realized how amazingly talented Bruno Mars is until I started watching all his live performances and some tributes he has done. This performance blew me away. Bruno honors Sting by singing his songs, yet makes them his own/puts a touch of Bruno in them. Incredibly talented
I mean Bruno Mars did a mashup of Smell's Like Teen Spirit and Billie Jean and it made somehow work lol
@@itisnotreallythatimportant He is unbelievably talented!

And little Richard tribute !
You must see the Bob Marley tribute
Bob Marley and Little Richard
I wanna see a MJ tribute now
@@jamesmoyner7499 😕
I wonder how future singers will do tribute to Bruno Mars. That would be one hell of a tough job.

Bruno is so underestimated, he is the best male singer in this generation!!!!! Saw this video a couple of years ago, now still feel amazed.
Is great
No he's not! I mean...Pretty much everybody agree he is the best!
As Adam Levine said, "Bruno Mars is different"
No he isn't. Ed Shearan is the best singer in this generation. Bruno might be second place.
@@dazzahoward7104 thats the biggest lie ive ever seen. You think ed sheeran could sing this

+ chorus

They don't have his voice and variety :)

Bruno is half Filipino and half Puerto Rican 😁
Absolute Legend that Bruno, made Sting smile and cry, got his wife to laugh and sing along, all done under 4 mins
Damn that's an absolutely top tier version of message in a bottle
It's clear to see where he got the inspiration for locked out of heaven
He invited Sting to sing it with him at the Grammys 2013
It is a Police tribute song point blank
One great singer
So proud look at new generation)
.....With the most perfect teeth my goodness gracious -- Bruno Mars. 😁😇
And great song
And dancer y!
Geddy Lee from RUSH is great too
Trudi's reactions are priceless; she is so proud and spirited in support of her husband. Such a fan.
Back when the President was welcome at such an event.... Excellent performance
He is a class above. One of the best singers of the modern era.
bruno is the best winner in the grammys
What this guy can't do. This guy can do anything in music
He is music. Just happy we have our own once in a decade artist. Question is, which generation is gonna claim him?
I have to imagine that Bruno was not happy about the song selection or the key in which it was saying. Because he's such a good singer and it was so high in his range that he didn't have room to show his stuff while still paying tribute
this man really has an insane vocal range!
Bruno Mars is the best showman in music. By a longshot. I've been saying it for years, and I think he's the most underrated performer.
He was #3 of the Billboard's Artists of The Decade 2021, just this recently. He's pretty BIG, considering his #23 best selling artist of all time.
@@godlike1361 who was the best?
They must have him on speed dial - when they need tributes done, he seems to be the "go to" guy. That was beautiful and Sting loved it! The pure joy on his face said it all. He's done Amy Winehouse, Prince, Little Richard ... he always seems to capture the artist's essence.
#LoveHim
Yes!! ❤
And Bob Marley!!
Bruno is the real deal, obviously.
everyone sleeping on Bruno Mars. He's been this diverse!
Holy shit, Bruno slayed that performance! He actually sounds a little Sting.
One day Bruno also seat there and one of the singers pay tribute to him... waiting for that day😇
Bruno Mars gives me hope for music
Same here man.
Same here man, for me the only hope
I agree
@@josesony4615 Adele and Bruno are the only ones
Wow. My vocal chords hurt just stunned how he flawlessly hits those octaves.
Here he comes, bruno mars, the best of our generation
Love how the audience and his wife are vibing out and along with Bruno. The way the ended it .... AMAZING!!
1:21 Bruno: Hold my guitar, Imma need both hands to hit this high note.
Bruno.....is the best performer of this time
Only Bruno Mars could sing a Sting song and do justice !! Bravo BM !! 👏👏👏
Ogie Cruz Bruno and Sting are friends.
Yes!!!
Check out Gregory Porter - It's Probably Me. ABSOLUTELY KILLS IT!!! Even sting agreed, judging by his reactions. And his wife too!!
Sting baby...you were HONOURED ☆♡☆♡☆
I didn't want to watch this video because of Bruno...
Now I'm watching it again because of Bruno...
I need a full version of So Lonely by Bruno Mars
He is so talented .And such a breath of fresh air in this age of mediocre talent in the music business.
Never expected somebody could sing STING songs. Wowwwww
He makes them sound like those are his-- always great, Bruno 🤍
Sting seems entertained obviously bruno has given justice to his songs
Saw Bruno at Red Rocks. Front row. Absolutely killed it. Not a fan before but my wife talked me into. Sang and danced my ass off. I don't do that. He killed it!
For anyone saying “Wow Bruno can really sing!” Hmm where have you been, under a rock?
We knew Bruno could sing but sing Sting? He killed it! Bravo, Bruno!
@@susan350 He can sing anybody's song because he is that talented and has the range.

Mr. Kenny Aronoff on the drums! One of the greats in his own right.
Damn, he's singing it a half step higher
Yeah!!
This sounds so good! Bruno really knows how to compliment others
He even sounds like Sting , nice job ❤
Bruno Mars is so talented.
NOT a Bruno Mars fan but HE KICKED ASS. Great tribute to Sting.
He’s so ridiculously good. And trudie is adorable singing along 😃
Seeing sting clap his hands makes me smile every time
No one could have done this better than Bruno Mars! His voice is pitch perfect perfection. He is the ultimate artist of OUR time. #brunomars
But still haters gonna hate.. no appreciation for true talent 🙄
Sting loved and us too. Bruno is awesome!
A modern artist who is aware of the past and is not afraid to show it and uses the ingredients to mix a new tasty soup :)
So true
I love that Trudy is behind Sting just singing her heart out.
the girl in yellow is SO COOOOL .....wow stunning
I can’t stop rewatching this!!! Bruno killed it
Bruno has huge talent
He killed it baby.

Bruno Mars most underrated Superbowl performance yet greatest super bowl performance!!!!😂😂😂
Bruno is the perfect one to do tributes!
Meryl Streep, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Hanks... top tier artists paying respects. Great.
That final chord at 3:15 was phenomenal
Gm11 I think!
@@lbarnesmusic Or Gm13, as the note E is strong in the voicing. C13/G works too
Like the end of Driven to tears with Robert Downey Jr. 😁

Mars did both songs total JUSTICE! Great!!!!!! And you can tell Sting was totally impressed!
It is a great luck for all of our souls that a musician like Sting was sent to the world.
Great job. Sting got very emotional when his "The Last Ship" musical cast went out at the end and sang along to SOS
