James Ricks I'd love that too, since he's a fan of Sting's and they both have that reggae pop sound to their music. Plus it would probably get more young people into The Police now too.
+James Ricks I so agree. Sting himself is a big fan of Bruno, they performed together at the Grammys for the Bob Marley honorary, etc. Sting was more than pleased with Bruno's tribute here. It was divine. I am DEFINITELY old enough to know about and be a great fan of The Police. They do not cancel each other out.
+gmccaber I did not say it was rock and roll...and how does one define that? Most of us are capable of appreciating a range of musical talents and styles.
Mary Mitchell Great points, I totally agree. I'm a big fan of both... loved The Police as a kid, and I'm happy that some modern singers like Bruno are making music with elements of that sound. Bruno isn't straight up rock, but some of his songs have a rockish vibe (like Locked Out of Heaven or Moonshine).
584 deaf people do not like this. 🤦🏻♂️ It is impossible not to admire the talent of Bruno Mars and the way of interpreting these legendary songs of the British band The Police.
Adele's recently said that she thinks Bruno is the best singer at the moment I think that this perfomance proves that he is (one of) the best!!! He killed it, and look at Sting he loves it. :)
this is one of the things that gives me hope in the world ...this has 750k views vs the 250k views lady gaga has ...and im not dissing gaga cuz she is fkn crazy good i love her ..its just that in this case bruno is the man
They didn't introduce them at the end, but - that huge crowd of people who ran onstage at the end and joined in "Message In A Bottle" was the cast of the show THE LAST SHIP, Sting's show on Broadway.
Someday Bruno will have his own tribute that will be performed by other artists after him. I am grateful to witness what he has become from then and now. #hooliganforever
Bruno Mars can sing this kind of songs so perfect!!!but is bad cause alot of ppls dont listen that they want songs about money,twerk,cars,power,etc...is bad cause i realise this man Bruno Mars is so full if talent let me say that he is like M.J but in a wrong era of modernism of bullshit,i hope good music will not die with the years!!!!
Bruno is and will not be a hype compare to other so called singers. He sings with a passion and always perform live. He doesn't care for popularity instead he likes you to love music. He's band and him perform all cities of the Globe too.
Some of the comments about Buno are so cool, mate this is a good kid, this Bruno has what it takes, I would pay 150 for front row see he has the dance and the voice.. SHOWMANSHIP. To see sting cry is like ice never melting LOL
Diego Martin Pintos Urzagastefico impressionado com isso é por que se nem conhese a carrera do bruno pra min ele é o melhor cantor LIVE que existe neste planeta ou já existiu!
So many of the people here are like, “Wow. I didn’t realize how good Bruno Mars is.” That’s probably cause most of y’all are disgruntled Gen Xers who stopped paying attention to music after 2000, which for the most part was a smart move on your part, but you did miss some major gems and Bruno Mars is one of them
I was a huge fan of The Police back in the late 70s & early 80s & I have always thought that Bruno Mars sounded like Sting! What an amazing performance and I can't stop smiling all the way through this!
Bin gerade sehr ergriffen, was für eine großartige Show für einen noch großartigeren Künstler namens STING. Ich liebe seine Musik schon seit 40 Jahren.
I agree. I think Bruno has moves from James Brown, voice from MJ and swag from Prince. But he does it his own way. And it makes him super talented individual.
Nestor Ovando He might just be keeping his hands from being damaged. I've heard that sometimes musicians, surgeons and others who need their hands to be in perfect condition because they need them for their craft, will be extra careful with them. Sometimes it is extreme care and looks weird. I've heard that some will wear gloves all of the time and/or refuse to shake hands for fear of something happening to them. It's also possible that it hurts to clap normally because they've been injured or he's had surgery on them. Or.... he might just clap funny because he thinks he's a two year old. 🚼
I love the angle of the camera at 2:22. from his back, it's like watching him from behind and i love that the crowd was so quiet not because they werent enjoying his performance but was like speechless of how good he is and how talented this man is. you know Bruno you said that "Mars" is coming from a joke that says youre out of this world. what's funny is that's not a joke anymore, you really are
Bruno brings down the house once again - Truly the most talented musician of this era. Seeing him perform live left me awestruck. Thank you Bruno....ignore the idiots that criticize because they are jealous....
I think Bruno did a lovely job of reproducing the character of the original songs while giving a uniquely Bruno performance. This is a musician's truest tribute in my opinion, a heartfelt appreciation and reproduction, but not a slavish one.
Bruno Mars was a good choice to sing Sting. When I first heard him on the radio I asked my daughter who the lad is that sounds just like Sting. I couldn't remember the song, but she knew who I was talking about straight away!
STING a hero as a child, i ski and with a taperecorder + headphones, cassette tapes.. Even rcords in the house... I love u and if i say i love thpolice that would be a lie. I love the BAND POLICE. Bruno mars kicks ass. Sting I love you and all your arty. Bruno I love your work and matching stings art... Bruno mars is an amazing everything.. I would like for you mr mars to sing for us in australia. Bruno Mars super star fills the oprea house, or a small venue...Ziggy did it an killed it. 30- or 40 a ticket x 10000 I love you and ya beautiful voice.
This is exactly what I would hope for in a millennial's appreciation for Sting and The Police! I am beyond pleased that my kid loves this music as much as Bruno Mars does!!
I just realized that this is one of the very few times where Bruno gave a live solo performance. Most of his live performance videos on yt are w/ Philip Lawrence or w/ his band. I wish he would perform solo more because his voice is best w/o back up.
Wow! It's unfortunate that when the time comes to give tribute to King Bruno Mars there is NO ONE....I mean NO ONE,,, on the face of this earth who could do justice and come close to his spectacular gifts and talent. All hail the King!!!
My favorite parts of this whole thing is how emotional Sting gets when the cast of The Last Ship run onto the stage because he didn't expect them to be there and how excited his wife is the entire time. :)
Another flawless performance by one of the best singers/live performers of this generation! But I really wish they hadnt cut his performance of Roxanne :-( #brunomars #sting #tribute #kennedycenterhonors #kennedycenterhonors2014

Man Bruno is so fucking talented that he made sting cry
Sting is like; "this is really good! Mars nailed this."
2:18 that was pure perfection
I finally figured it out. Sting is talented but his wife is super cool.
YES Trudie is such a special lady... Love her a lot....
Bless
His wife is super sexy
Looks like Sting's wife is a huge fan of Sting.
Makes sense on so many levels.
I wish Bruno would do a complete Police album...
James Ricks I'd love that too, since he's a fan of Sting's and they both have that reggae pop sound to their music. Plus it would probably get more young people into The Police now too.
James Ricks ..

2:15 every fucking time.. i get the chills
I have about 10 times more respect for this guy now
+GreenshieldKnight Yep, Me Too.When Locked out of heaven came out my kids thought it was the police.
GreenshieldKnight yeah man ‚ he's a real deal .
When Bruno says "Message in a Bottle"
i died when he said messege in the bottle he is so good
Most awesome part. And... ohhh yeeeaaahhhh....

+I speak finish so the end she said in the interview on skavlan, I think :D
BRUNOO IS THE BEST
Who cares what Adele says.
Rick OnTheDrums hahahaha
Damn Bruno sings the hell out of this!
tubeyhamster he sure does😃
better than sting ahahhaa
Yes
@@maartnien8672
No, good but not better than sting ;D.
this is one of the things that gives me hope in the world ...this has 750k views vs the 250k views lady gaga has ...and im not dissing gaga cuz she is fkn crazy good i love her ..its just that in this case bruno is the man
My no# favourite male singer and dancer
They didn't introduce them at the end, but - that huge crowd of people who ran onstage at the end and joined in "Message In A Bottle" was the cast of the show THE LAST SHIP, Sting's show on Broadway.
Thank you for the info. I was perusing the comments to find out how they were all connected.
So fake,, losers,
Bruno Mars is the only contemporary pop star that feels as if from some decades ago.
his voice...remind me to young version of sting
👍
The next king of pop bruno mars
Jamella Olah only one king of pop, is Michael Jackson.
XXIVk Magic!!! 👑
Michael is forever the King, Bruno is the Prince
OMG Bruno knocked Message in a Bottle out of the park.
Thought nobody could touch this song, one of my all-time favorites. I was wrong.
He literally stole the show at the Kennedy Center Honors! Literally.
Nope. Led Zeppelin did.
Adele Jazzy nope. Lady Gaga did.
Roger Luna +valdi vall nope to you both. Adele Jazzy already told you. Bruno stole the show.
Lady Gaga didn't do shit... Led Zeppelin is arguable, but Bruno Mars still stole that show!! And that's that.
True
Those are really high notes
yeah I think so that song has over 30 high C's
Bruno Coria
Myabe it's because it is HIS song...
+порно still Bruno did a great job! gotta admit to that.. its just a cover/tribute performance. don't take it that far
You'd rather have Sting give tribute to himself then
I used to hate Bruno Mars, and called him a Police rip-off, but now he's got my respect. This is absolute class.
bruno Mars owned this song like Whitney Houston "I'll always love you"... killed it!
he can do this, smells like teen spirit, billie jean, seven nation army, and all of his great stuff. Really respectable artist
Someday Bruno will have his own tribute that will be performed by other artists after him. I am grateful to witness what he has become from then and now. #hooliganforever
and goodluck to the one who will sing for the tribute
@@C.Bastian177 I swear. Cause ALL his songs are HARD to sing and perform lol
What a cutie Gaga at the end! She hugs Bruno Mars :)
This is really really good. Not really a fan of Bruno Mars, but I like his songs on the radio. And there's no denying the guy has got talent.
👍
Bruno Mars can sing this kind of songs so perfect!!!but is bad cause alot of ppls dont listen that they want songs about money,twerk,cars,power,etc...is bad cause i realise this man Bruno Mars is so full if talent let me say that he is like M.J but in a wrong era of modernism of bullshit,i hope good music will not die with the years!!!!
Yesssss!!!
WatchYourAttitude If you like his songs on the radio then that pretty much means that you're a fan.
JO. O lmaoo i was just about to comment that
Bruno is and will not be a hype compare to other so called singers. He sings with a passion and always perform live. He doesn't care for popularity instead he likes you to love music. He's band and him perform all cities of the Globe too.
Mchunter so true... love your comment.
Bruno Mars kills it. Deadly.
When the spouse of Sting approves your cover it means you did a great job.
Some of the comments about Buno are so cool, mate this is a good kid, this Bruno has what it takes, I would pay 150 for front row
see he has the dance and the voice.. SHOWMANSHIP. To see sting cry is like ice never melting LOL
his vocals are out of this world! best artist around a the moment
When he hit that note in 'message in the bottle', I swear I cry of happiness. One of many reasons why I love bruno mars.
Same !! 👅💦✨
Bruno is the only artist I know makes better versions than the originals. 🙌🏻
Fuck i love Sting and The Police and this Kid Mars has real talent
Diego Martin Pintos Urzagastefico impressionado com isso é por que se nem conhese a carrera do bruno pra min ele é o melhor cantor LIVE que existe neste planeta ou já existiu!
Do you how famous BRUNO MARS is,has #1 song in the country
Hooligans for life yes nanb on my principe ,,,, FROM BRAZIL ,,,
noma sueli souza moraes what the Hell are you saying
Please tell me who wrote this song.
02:15 Woaw,perfect! 👏👏👏👏😭💜💜💜
This performance was sick. Bruno and the band killed it in every single way. The harmony at the end of the song made me shiver. Awesome version!

as much as i dislike bruno mars, you cant knock him for this, its a thumbs up from me
It's Bruno Mars: Just the way.....he is 😊
His vocals are killer!!!!
Lion Rose Music hi miss
Springsteen seemed to be looking at Bruno with admiration as he and Meryl walked on stage. That's how it looked to me, anyway.
Man Bruno Mars nailed it!! I hope his new album is good!
Daniearp oh it sure is!!!!! XXIVk Magic!! 🔥
His Message in a Bottle is flat out great.
Bruno shows why he is on top - he is one of the best out there today. A beautiful tribute to Sting.
You can see that it pleases Sting!
I was a huge fan of The Police back in the late 70s & early 80s & I have always thought that Bruno Mars sounded like Sting! What an amazing performance and I can't stop smiling all the way through this!
@min1:43 Stings Wife was like
well done kid..:)
Never realised what a great artist he is.
Rikkyhardo ditto!
He's got so much range
Mars or Sting?
Sting's reaction is the best part about all of this.
Bin gerade sehr ergriffen, was für eine großartige Show für einen noch großartigeren Künstler namens STING. Ich liebe seine Musik schon seit 40 Jahren.
I can't decide if Bruno is more like a young Sting or a young MJ (with a modern twist of course).
yeah, Uptown Funk is something I could see James singing, and just in general he is kinda like Prince too
Bruno is like a mashup of the best singers in history with such beautiful modern twist
+JPMcFly1985Two he sings like neither haha, he just sings like a legit lyric tenor
I agree. I think Bruno has moves from James Brown, voice from MJ and swag from Prince. But he does it his own way. And it makes him super talented individual.
Don't forget James Brown... He also sometimes reminds me of R Kelley, and Boyz2men
Never thought I'd ever seen Bruce Springsteen, Meryl Streep and Bruno Mars on stage together. It's nice.
Message in a Bottle...............NAILED IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) You just gained a 50 year old fan Bruno Mars!!
Bruno killed this!! He was unbelievably awesome!!!!! He was one of the best of the night!!!!!
My goodness this is what I called talent nothing else can be better than this repect Bruno you are a legend
This was a stunning performance, gave me some serious goosebumps! On an side note, Sting claps funny.
Nestor Ovando He might just be keeping his hands from being damaged. I've heard that sometimes musicians, surgeons and others who need their hands to be in perfect condition because they need them for their craft, will be extra careful with them.

The only artist that can sing a Sting song ✊✊
THE BEST PART, I LOVE STING 2:10
The perfect person to do this
Bruno brings down the house once again - Truly the most talented musician of this era. Seeing him perform live left me awestruck. Thank you Bruno....ignore the idiots that criticize because they are jealous....
I cant find anyone else who could sing So lonely so good other than this awesome dude
My favourite Police song of all time. Sting at his best. This kid makes it look effortless - awesome tribute.
CBS did a great job matching singers to the artists they honored. Bruno's set was perfect!
cannot stop replaying this
Even Sting is in tears after hearing Bruno sing. The best musician EVER. GOAT!
0:40 She's dancing to her own beat. Lol love it.
bruno is unreal
Bruno has the perfect voice to sing The Police!! Great tribute.
Sting looks so proud!
Amazing boy. First i thought he is a one man boy group, but he is simply amazing.
2:23-2:26 the nod of approval and "damn. Nailed it"❤
I think Bruno did a lovely job of reproducing the character of the original songs while giving a uniquely Bruno performance. This is a musician's truest tribute in my opinion, a heartfelt appreciation and reproduction, but not a slavish one.

Just discovered this live version of Message In A Bottle and I LOVE IT. Bruno Mars is absolute CLASS.
bruno can sing everything.. great
Wow! It's unfortunate that when the time comes to give tribute to King Bruno Mars there is NO ONE....I mean NO ONE,,, on the face of this earth who could do justice and come close to his spectacular gifts and talent. All hail the King!!!
Sting is like...You are rockin' this!!!!
this guy is on a league of his own well done
Bruno killed it mannn!!! 😭😭😭💕💕😍😍😍 #proudhooligan
Bruno Mars es increíble...
Wow Bruno is the best.
Fuckin' nailed it.
Best cover I've ever seen. Just awesome
My favorite parts of this whole thing is how emotional Sting gets when the cast of The Last Ship run onto the stage because he didn't expect them to be there and how excited his wife is the entire time. :)
Damn, me too!
FOREVER YOUR NUMBER ONE FAN, BRUNO! I LOVE YOU
Very refreshing to see real talent!!
His voice is pure gold ❤️
This does exceptional justice to the original. Not everyone has the right voice for it. Congratz. The Police were my favourite band as a kid.
Pure gold.
Just amazing!!!!!!! No words can describe, this guy is the man! Go hooligans!!!
He is incredible...
Another flawless performance by one of the best singers/live performers of this generation! But I really wish they hadnt cut his performance of Roxanne :-(
