Sting and Wayne Shorter received the Polar Music Prize on June 15, 2017 at a ceremony at Konserthuset Stockholm in Sweden. Several artists honored the Laureates together with the The Royal Stockholm Philarmonic Orchestra, led by maestro Hans Ek.
Artists performing in tribute to Sting and Wayne Shorter, included Gregory Porter ( • Gregory Porter perform... ), Jennie Abrahamson, Lennart Åberg, Marius Neset, José Feliciano, Jelena Krstic, Josefin Runsteen, Ane Brun ( • Ane Brun and friends p... ), Linnea Olsson, Fredrik Ljungqvist and The Tallest Man On Earth ( • The Tallest Man On Ear... ).
José Feliciano also read the citation for Sting ( • Sting receives the Pol... ):
"The 2017 Polar Music Prize is awarded to the singer, musician and composer Sting, real name Gordon Sumner, from Wallsend in Northumberland. Sting grew up in a shipyard town in northeastern England. As a child his thoughts and dreams roamed as far as the ships that sailed from his town. Internal and external travel has also characterised his music. As a member of the trio The Police, and later as a solo artist, Sting has never sat back and rested on his laurels; he has put down his anchor in more musical harbours than perhaps any other artist of his generation. As a composer, Sting has combined classic pop with virtuoso musicianship and an openness to all genres and sounds from around the world. Sting is a true citizen of the world, who has also been indefatigable in using his position as an arena-filling artist to promote human rights."
The Polar Music Prize was founded in 1989 by the late Stig ”Stikkan” Anderson, one of the true greats in the history of popular music. As the publisher, lyricist and manager of ABBA, he played a key role in their enormous success. Its name stems from Anderson’s legendary record label, Polar Music.
The Polar Music Prize is one of the most prestigious and unique music prizes in the world, crossing over musical boundaries and awarded to individuals, groups and institutions in recognition of exceptional achievements.

never take this video down, it cured my crippling depression
Andrea Ssspo your hilarious comment cured mine! 🤣🤣🤣
Okay YOU win the internet today. Usurping that "defund the Police" guy from before!
Papa bless, police navidad!
I think it caused Sting’s though 😅
Reminds me of that tragedy
Sting just goes through 4 phases of grief during that thing. Near the end you can see him accept the cringe and he learns to love again.
너 왜 일성이 사진 쓰냐 ㅋㅋㅋ
Lmfaoooo
LOL
Sloppy performance by Feliciano
fuck this is underrated
The longest 4 minutes of Sting’s life
0:39 why is that random girl smiling so hard? 😂😂😂 And 2:34 she is just going way too hard for no reason
His wife's side glance at him at 3:12 to make sure he's still breathing is priceless.
I agree. She's known and loved him a long time.
😂😂😂😂
You can see how much he's in pain inside right there...
She is watching every breath he takes!!! Every move he fakes!!!
What a wedding song!!!
Poor Sting !! Jose Feliciano is the LAST person you want to be singing your song.
I can see sting is just hoping it ends soon. LOL 😂
Sting truly was the King of Pain at that moment.
How many turned it down before this guy was phoned.
That is one brilliant comment
Yes, excellent remark😂
😂😂😂🤣
Yes exactly man! He seems so much in pain? God bless both... And you too, good call.
I love how he forgets the lyrics at the start and just moves on to the next line
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂😂😂
Feliciano didnt forget the lyrics..he changes the lyrics
2:49 The WTF head tilt always gets me 🤣
priceless haha
😂😂😂 all these comments
Choking, and there's no misspelling 😅
The shredding guitar solo and that diva with her eyes always on her lyric sheets (singing like three lines of words or what), priceless
She's trying to avoid the gaze of the audience
This is one of those videos where the likes/dislikes mean the same thing
Hahaha…so true
hahahahahahahahhhahahahahahahahahah
until JooTube removes dislikes.
Hahahahahahahahaaha. Great comment.
joining the hahahaha gang on this one
This was an incredible performance. From Sting.
😂
Are you his ghost writer?
Hahahahah😂
... and from the princess of Sweden.
Hahahahahahahahahaahahahah
It was so bad I thought it was an SNL sketch with Sting as a guest... 😆
You can see sting go through the stages of grief: anger, denial, bargaining, and finally acceptance
Oh man I laughed so hard reading your comment I almost woke up my neighbours you killed me :)
@@StephenDedalus74 just a shame it wasn't an original comment...
@@shellbell1705 Which one ?
@@StephenDedalus74he copied the top comment
@@Cremig Oh OK thank you for your answer
That must have Stung.
😄😄😆😂
Sting's reactions make this one of the greatest videos I've ever experienced in my lifetime.
ROR! 😂
The quick multiple blinking, the rub of the cheek with his finger, and then the big gulp, by sting is hysterical around 49 second mark
The best way to kill a masterpiece
I dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing that Jose Feliciano couldnt and wont ever actually see Sting's face reaction to this.
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!!!
This is what happens when you defund The Police
Best comment on here by so many levels
A splendid comment sir. Well done
Genius
Detune the police
LMFAO
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.
She is deaf.
Once the guitars come in…
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
That was the best Hillbilly version of Sting's song 🎵 👌🏾 😍
She is deaf. 😒
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.
Feyd Rautha was reborn this night.
😂😂😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nice one. You have comic chops.
I like how Sting claps like a 4yr old when its done.
:D
I've seen him clap like this many times. It's something he does. Idk why. It's like he's trying to bring awareness to mental retardation.
Man you people are brutal
Oh every, OH I'll be watching you..
Oh hi Mark!
Troll quality 10/10
XD
The relieve on Sting's face when it's finally over... priceless.
Hilarious how they murdered his song right in front of him.
So funny to watch
1:59 “Hold up I’m bouta shred Thunderstruck…” Gets me all the time 😂
if i was sting i woulda got up an walked out, its not like Jose woulda seen him
Im dying of laughter at 5:26 am when i should be asleep 😂😂😂
Those Molly Hatchet licks though. Lmao
Ok...now I gotta see Sting sing Feliz Navidad.
ruclips.net/video/UDUccXex4RY/видео.html
It's a thing!
Yea ain’t that hard….and if sting lost his ability to sing like a human HE WOULDNT PREFORM IN FRONT OF MILLIONS 🙄🤣😂🤣😂
Christ delusional much
He would nail it with surgical precision because that is the kind of artist Sting is.
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
Jajajajaja!, si, seguro que tambièn suena como el culo en su boca
And Sting showed grace with a smile and a clap at the end. He may have been feeling really bad for Jose through that performance.
The comments made this worth the watch
This performance really “stung.”
It’s like when the kids come out to surprise the parents on Christmas with their own rendition of the song and the parents got to sit through it
Best description I’ve read, nails the entire vibe of the video. Good one
Except without the familial love that would have you telling them they did great.
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.
Feliz Navidad😊
Man. I've never seen a performer wince in pain as someone butchered his own song in front of him before now.
Ha, touche
Boccs the power of the internet has allowed this to become possible for us
What happens there ?
Woah ´ll look for it , thank´s
Boccs , yeah , well at least the artist wont be able to see how much they hated it
This was excruciating. Heaven knows the Polar prize folks could've flown anyone all the way over to impress and delight Sting...and this was the result?!?
I've watched this video over hundred times and i still laugh my ass off as always
It has to be mentioned: Did no one else notice the incongruity of having a blind performer sing the lyrics "I'll be watching you"?
🎯🎯🎯
You TRUELY just made me laugh out loud.
@@CrochetNewsNetwork I was caught up in watching Sting's reactions I never even thought of it until Zachary's post. I laughed out loud too
And Stevie Wonder is not blind.
I was too caught up in the mess to even notice. Funny as hell though!
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.
Oh my god 😂
What an insignificant idiot you must be.
Then he asks you rub peanut butter on his toes and tells you to bark and lick it off. That was always awkward.
That was SO specific.. 🤔🤣
Lol! why you make me laugh I love a lot of songs by jose Feliciano but facts.
My life has changed forever and will never be the same. This really was stunning i mean stinging.. 💔
Feliciano will never be allowed to cover anyone else’s song ever again after this.
Excruciating for Sting. You just see the pain.
police navidad
This comment is so underrated!
Genius
🤣I am literally LOLing as I type this!
This so good 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄😄
I'm in my bed having the laugh if my life and I'm not even a morning person.
This is what happens when you surround yourself with "yes" people!
Whoever booked this guy should be in the RUclips hall of fame.
They’d probably fit in considering RUclips’s history with creating vile abominations like RUclips Rewind.
Hall of shame? 😅
😂😂😂😂
Loved this soooo much, that I’m sending a copy to each of my enemies.
Is the joke that a blind guy is singing "ill be watching you?"
Couldn't help but wonder if what we were watching was Sting trying his absolute hardest not to smile or laugh at that fact.
😆😆😂👌
Would be further of a weird joke if it was a deaf guy singing it
Not unusual to use watching. The language change would be awkward. I’m not a fan of José Féliciano. Worked with people who are blind for many years. Some people joke about it.
To all of you making fun of this guy disability, just remember that tomorrow any of you can ended up like him.
Crying here at stings face and the comments 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Best laugh I've had in months 🤣
Exactly. I’ve also laughed out loud regarding some of these comments as well.
😂
longest 4 minutes of stings life
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 😀
Hey, Jose...Sting is really fucking pretentious and up his own ass!...Don't worry I will do something about that !!!
It's an awful arrangement. Feliciano is a virtuoso guitar player and has an aging voice. Not sure why he was given the gig? Doesn't make sense.
@@pjuggle a respect thing is my guess 🤷
😂😂😂😂
Worst song he could have chosen for his style..
At first the audience was in to it, but you can see as the cringe spreads to the whole room.
3:12 That side glance Trudy gives Sting is hilarious. She's dying to see his reaction without making it so obvious.
Yep that´s the glance ... Are they married? she looks like ma madame tussauds´s escapee
@@mudfly3 yes it’s his wife Trudy Styler
Luckily the botox means she can't smile
@@mudfly3DAMN that’s a brutal roast. Sad but true
@@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.
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..🥲
Sting loved the infusion of spanish. NOT. I laugh when his poor heart aches! A blind man watch😢😮😢😮'ing every move. Sting can
🤣
Feliciano to Sting: "Can I cover this on my next album?"
Sting: "No way, José!"
That's a prime dad joke. You should get more credit for it. 🙂
😂😂😂😂🤣
😄😁🤣!! Deserves more likes.
The lady in the audience grooving like it’s the best song rendition ever while everyone else is sitting stiffly gets to me every time lol
If you mean the lady at 0:40 sitting next to the king of Sweden, then you are referring to the Swedish princess Victoria.
Could be a Swedish meatball for all anyone cares. She’s completely oblivious
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.
She’s an idiot
She is the "Aunt that had too much to drink"
Only an Englishman could manage such a composed reaction.
‘Hanging on in quiet desperation is the English way, the time is gone, the song is over..thought I’d something more to say”
@@Incognito-vc9wjfink ployd
Props to his parents for raising such a polite man.
If "manners maketh man" as someone said
He's the hero of the day...
1:50 Jose:"I'll distract 'em with my guitar solo from 'Light My Fire'."
Rename this video "Jose Feliciano Shreds"
BWAHAHAHA
ddubrul ya, off time & out of key.
yes if by "shred" you mean that he managed to completely destroy the song.
@@JakobFa look up "creed shreds" for context.
@@JakobFa It was an old internet meme "(artist) shreds" with really bad overdubbed music while they are playing
I love that by 2:58 the mixer just cut his guitar. I'm dying.
Gabriel Alexander 😆😆😆
Oh my god, brilliant observation!
Thankfully they raised his volume for that wonderful solo
Or did he just get up and leave ?
hahah air guitar lol poor bastard
I commend the drummer for managing to stay in time
Edit: they turn down Jose’s guitar near the end 😅
Never thought that this song would make me laugh one day...
I didn't even know that Jose Feliciano was still alive. After this, I'm still not sure.
Marmot Songs It was probably a puppet. That would explain it.
Marmot Songs
Thanks God yes..he is still alive and he is 70.
You call that ALIVE??!
So sloppy performance by him
hahahahaha!
hahaha freaking danny devito what a madman
Totally didn't see the Phoebe Buffay bridge coming. 1:22
Jose’s version of the song really stung sting.😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Was this Jose guy some kind of disability affirmative action hire? Or was this just some kinda Blind Artists Appreciation Fundraiser? Where we are supposed to know it’s gonna be bad beforehand but still pretend it was amazing ?
Very funny!!!
@@v.v3829lol he wrote one of the most famous Christmas songs, Feliz Navidad
😂😂😂😂
You can see him bracing for impact until the end. And then, MIRACLE, the song ends without crashing and burning.
It had already lost the engines and was in free fall into a mountain face before it ended. The snow on the peaks stopped it from burning ;)
Who heard this at rehearsal and said...beautiful 😘
Maybe this was the rehearsal and everyone loved it.
Jack Nicholson
@@jimquantic I don't even know why this is funny...but it made me laugh 😂
Helen Keller
A deaf man
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”
Not that softly - rather shouty in fact
It was like scratching the chalkboard for sting. U can actually see the physical pain this caused him.
anyone notice they cut his guitar after that shit solo at 1:56
You can hear it at the end, sounds like it got turned down though
Easily a top 10 worst solo I've ever heard. They made the right choice.
didn't cut it , just dipped the volume in half.
I played that song better than him when I was 3 years old. He killed the song
Hello from Puerto Rico. Shame on him
It was only turned down (cus the solo was over), sadly.
How stings heart breaks with every note he plays .... 😂
🤣😂
😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
😂
😂
How Sting managed to keep a straight face throughout this catastrophe. Never mind the Polar Music prize, he deserves an Oscar! 🤣
Or the Peace Prize ...
Never gets old
Sting looked like he was impatiently waiting for the suicide pills to kick in....
Since he’s blind, imagine being the person who has to answer him asking “so how did Sting react?”...
Jelena and the band really held it together!
The face he makes when Jose starts singing in Spanish. 😂🤣😅
Anyone have the tab for that solo?
--o--oo---o
0-3-5
Just pick up the guitar likes it’s your first time playing and go ham.
*just look up the tab for any Jose felicano song they all song really fuckin similar*
Just play whatever notes on the fretboard at whatever rhythm you desire. No scales or chord knowledge needed my man!
I didn't think it was possible to do a bad version of this song.
Why is that?
Horrible, you mean.
Agree....and I love Jose but.......No!!
Jose ruins every song he attempts.
@@bend1951 Except "Feliz Navidad"
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.
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."
2:50 gets me everytime.
He’s like, “I thought this couldn’t get any worse but you surprised me mf”
OYE TE ESTOY PELANDOOOOOO(i am fluent in spanish and have no idea what he meant at all)
Velando not pelando, means sneaking at you.
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
@@crispingatieza1389 Why not say te estoy viendo? Help me out, I'm trying to improve my spanish lol
Petition for Puddle of Mudd to cover José Feliciano covering Sting.
“O, can’t you see”
“I’ll be watching you”
“I can only see […] I look around”
- A blind man
Please, please, please. Sting actually is full of emotion and respect listening Mr. José Feliciano, singing beautifully his song. Feliciano is the composer and the voice of the imortal Christmas song "Feliz Navidad". Feliciano is a blind man since his birth and can play the guitar better than must of you that are criticizing him. His voice is unique. Millions and millions sings "Feliz Navidad" every year not knowing the man behind this master piece of music. So, please stop saying Sting is ashamed because the great Mr. Feliciano is singing his music. Actually, Feliciano was invited to this wonderful night and to sing exactly this way. Was you? Yes, Sting was very emotional and almost crying to hear José Feliciano. So stop this poor vision of a great moment in the history of Mr. Sting and José Feliciano.
Agreed, a icon is performing his music, of course Sting loves the moment especially when he sung the lyrics in his native language, i thought is was great.
Feliciano's blind but you must be both blind and deaf..This was an abomination of a great punk song
Feliciano didn't see that reaction coming...
LOL
They have a Feliciano emoji now?
This is awful. I feel bad for Sting. They butchered his song and it's obvious that he hated it.
The look on Stings face
what do u want? , you think that Jose , will sing the song like Sting?, imposible each siger have his own style, never i can sing a song the same like the original singer, because that calls "cover" so in his style Jose sing the song, i dont think thats a reason to crucified Jose.
It's not a matter of style. Maybe a lack thereof. What was that guitar solo?
i thought it was just me...phew
At least they can tell Jose that Sting loved it.
What an honour for Sting to have his biggest hit performed by Gilbert Gottfried
loved the performance after 04:00
😂
That was surprisingly bad. Worse than expected.
It was actually truly terrible
u kidding me?? that total awefullness!!! respect
Man just murdered a classic.
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.
That moment when he rolls over to Spanish and Sting is just like "Wow, just when I thought it couldn't get any worse."
That was Carlitos way
as a spanish speaker, i tell you.. your right jajajaja
😂😂😂
I had to rewind it just to watch the shock on Sting's face. It was HILARIOUS!!
Lol
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.
When dude sang a verse in Spanish, Sting's face literally said, "wtf?"
spanish? ? spanish is another thing
We all love Jose Feliciano. Immensely. We do, we do. But this one version of sting's classic just doesn't click.
This was incredibly hard to watch... who put this together?!
All those professionals and not one of them said "hey, this isn't working".... amazing.
Individuals in the band probably realize that it's from ass, but they're not in charge. They're just doing their job.
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.
@@winKoneR or they just wanted a paycheck, and if they complained they'd get fired.
Ego amongst performers is big issue
The guy's blind, who is going to tell him?
My guess is José wasn't nominated for a Polar prize. Yet our soon to become Queen of Sweden seems to enjoy it full heartedly.
The slight head shake No at 2:02 during the solo 😂
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!
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”
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.
A pitiful performance of a great song .... well done Sting for not walking.
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 ..
4:00 It's like people clapping when the plane lands after really bad turbulence.
Sting: Oh for crying out loud.
Trudie: We should try to focus on the good things.
Gustav: This is bad, I could be spending my time in a more productive way...
Daniel: This is going to be televised, gotta force that smile.
Victoria: THIS IS FUN AND COOL
