This is not just a superstar singing her rendition of another superstar 's song. This is a friend giving a priceless gift to another friend...and that's even more valuable. ❤
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.
Annie was almost overwhelmed with emotion so she wasn't in full control of her voice. She took big pressure to perform for Sting and the king and the rest.
The privilege is not only Annie's, it's Sting's also. Doesn't matter how big you are, if Annie Lennox is performing your song it's such a huge privilege.
Holy f*****g shit. She just came out of nowhere, sat by the piano, played it like Chopin while singing one of the most touching songs in history with such a deeply sad and emotional voice, absolutely nailing it, making Sting cry, just minutes after he said "WOW" when she entered the stage - this just has to be the definition of pure art. Annie You ROCK!!!
I'd be honored if some Sting fans would give a quick listen to my acoustic piano & vocal YT performances of IF I EVER LOSE MY FAITH IN YOU and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU in tribute to his 2 great albums from the early 90s. Live acoustic with no autotune. Peace & stay safe.
Yep, you can tell that they were very close friends. I like how they appreciate each other's music. It's not tit-for-tat, who's more famous than the other person, it's just a mutual respect and I love that.
I love how she's like " i tried" in the end! she's a very popular artist herself and still she's so modest and still looks up to other artists! i love her so much!
She's aware of age, her voice is not the same as it once was. This song was so personal for her. Her performance wasn't perfect but in the end it was. How fragile we are.
@@djmips This is so true. The imperfections in Annie's delivery make the message of the song so much more emotionally resonant. Rather like watching Elton John sing 'England's Rose' at Diana's funeral.
I met AL a few years ago on a photography job. She lit up the room like nobody else ever has. She is an incredible person before she even opens her mouth. Light beamed from her. Hard to explain but meet her and you'll really understand.
when someone like a Voice judge tells a contestant - you don't connect to the song, I always go back to this video. Annie at one point started to sound like she is pushing back tears, knowing she needs to go on with the performance. To all you haters - this is what pure raw emotion sounds like and if you don't like it - please go back to your autotuned world, take your dislikes and hateful comments with you and let us enjoy the pure talent that is Annie Lennox.
My God you have a great way with words Especially when you say she’s pushing back her tears, I’m a songwriter & if you don’t mind I’m going to steel that line Nice one
I don’t get it - I’m not drawn to her in the same way I’m drawn to most of the music I like to listen to, but now and then I have to listen to her - and when I do, it hurts.
Holy Christ!!!! Can someone please get this huge lump out of my throat. Annie you amaze me thank you so much for tributing this beautiful song for Sting. ❤️💯👏👍😘
Even i had tears in my eyes. 30 years have passed like a warm summer breeze on your front porch that sweeps away the first fallen leafs of the comming fall. Thank you Sting! Thank you Annie! You both are perfect companions whose music is moving feelings of millions of people around the world through various kinds of episodes of our lives.
So glad RUclips sent this to me. I sit here in Covid lock down listening to Annie’s rendition of fragile, almost weeping thinking about the thousands that have died, and the impact on the world this plague has imposed. Never has there been a time like this. We truly are fragile. Hug your children and loved ones. 🌹😥🌹
under lockdown here in D.C. not that different than hunkering down in an extended weather emergency. but at least you can see weather. not knowing what thing you touch will send you to the hospital. thats scary.
Daniel. At this point I think I’ll take the weather. I’m hear in Florida and all we need is a bad hurricane season to top this whole thing off. I truly am praying we get a “buy” on the hurricane stuff. Take care, stay well. ☮️
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.
All beauty, agony and ecstasy in this one clip; the music, the performance, the love of each other, the connection and the devastating lyrics. Reminds me that maybe it’s good to stop hiding once in a while and witness the depths that threaten to swallow us in order to really live.
Sensational. Her voice. Her presence. That performance. Their mutual respect. His appreciation. This video is a masterpiece of beauty. Art that moves us. I cry every time that I watch this. Thank you for posting this gem.
I couldn't agree more that Annie Lennox has made this version her own. Very emotional and moving. Takes the song and lyrics up a level of immersiveness and imagination.
To all deaf haters, what is the point of making the same version as Sting did? She made her own version, she brought something new to the song. And she didn't lose her voice, it is called maturity. Still sounds gorgeous.
I don’t know much about Annie Lennox, I am so glad that I picked this video...AMAZING VOICE AND PHENOMENAL stage presence! When introduced, the announcer said she has been performing for over 4 decades. I was amazed...she is beautiful and surely doesn’t look old enough for the 4 decades of performing.
I REALLY couldn't care less if you call me a hater or not (my notifications are turned off so I never get to read what people write in response to my comments so please don't waste your time). People are ENTITLED to their opinion. Music (and other forms of art) are subject to OPINION. Just because YOU think a piece of music sounds gorgeous doesn't make it "ultimately true". To me, this particular performance was mediocre at best and I am FAR FROM BEING deaf (I have an amazing musical ear). Even she said "I tried" knowing that her rendition was sort of imperfect and left a lot to be desired. I'm not hating. I think Lennox is an amazing artist and a beautiful person but that particular performance was NOT good at all. Enjoy your life off the internet. OUT.
Yes. The song approached in a mature way by someone who has lived a good number of years since its creation and has seem some shattering things in those years. As we all have. And this performance was in 2017. Things have only gotten worse since then, now that it's 2023. An even more heartbreaking song.
Annie Lennox is 1 the absolute best this world has produced in female voices. To hear her sing a song of one of the best male voices and writers to EVER do it in STING..... just absolutely made my night!!!❤❤❤
I think Fragile is already quite fragile as it is. Nothing at all wrong with Annie’s version. She has a smokin’, timeless voice. I just find Sting’s to be the only version I need.
I'd be honored if some Sting & Annie Lennox fans would take a listen to my acoustic piano & vocal interpretations of ENGLISHMAN IN NEW YORK and WHY SHOULD I CRY FOR YOU on my YT channel in tribute to the master of lyricism and composition. Live acoustic with no autotune or digital editing. Thanks and peace.
Annie Lennox what she shared with Sting, was Time, being in the moment, when time comes to almost a haul. Just for time its self doesn’t want you to miss a moment of it. Love of friendship given taken deep.
This is probably the most beautiful song ever written & what a great performance by Annie, her own take on this is amazing Sting is such an amazing songwriter & musician of equal gains
❤❤❤ HOW SWEET- TWO MASTER MUSICIANS RESPECTING ONE ANOTHER. I TEARED UP ALSO. I GREW UP WITH THEIR MUSIC. " FRAGILE" IS A TIMELESS MASTERPIECE. EVEN MY MOM WITH DEMENTIA FOR 21 YEARS @ 80, DAD AT 85 AT THE SAME TIME LOVED STING. ❤❤❤❤
It’s a huge honor to be listener of this incredible, amazing and awesome performance, even if you listen it not in live. Too many thanks to RUclips for existing and chances to people who have no possibilities for such a great live performances like this🙏
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.
I remember hearing her voice for the first time as a young child and was instantly transfixed. She has a unique and beautiful instrument - it is lovely to see she has taken great care of it.
That must be a great compliment; to write a song with such personal meaning, and then to have another artist like Annie Lennox show such an appreciation for it.
I was a teen in the early 80s and have the distinct pleasure of seeing Annie and Dave perform, as with Police/Sting and countless often during the British Invasion II. Kids today have no idea what it was like being a teen in the 80s and surviving the Grunge movement... what a ride it was!
Chills.... i started crying from the first words of the song, and at the same time I saw Sting having tears on his face.... Incredible interpretation! She sings the truth. The audience shows...
Are you really serious? Sting was fucking horrified. She BUTCHERED this song. She was off key, and couldn't even keep up with her timing and she is the one playing the dayum piano, you tone deaf idiot
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!
No autotuning there! Raw talent, just her Voice and Piano and transfixing.. not many could sing and perform that! One of the Great artists of the 80s! 👍🏴🇬🇧
Sting , I, like hundreds of millions of others have had my life enriched by the beauty of your music and your persona. I thank you most sincerely for the incredible gift of your such varied music . 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 .!!!!! We didn't care about having no sun . You were the shining light that put such warmth and joy into our hearts . A million thankyous . Your music will go on forever .
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!
Amazing performance and singing but then both of them are amazing artists. So happy to see Annie singing and performing! The notes at the end as she goes high...man!
I can feel the connection between the two. One great singing his feelings and then he gets to hear the sorrow felt from another great, maybe even incomparable until that moment
First I was like .. hmm interesting, then I realized what exactly I was witnessing .. goosebumps - Only Annie could translate like she did .. amazing :-)

Annie opened for Sting on tour, we saw them at The Palace of Auburn Hills. She was shy at first and enchantingly powerful. We enjoyed Sting but our night was made by Annie Lennox.
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
Such a stunning performance. So incredibly emotive and so powerfully beautiful. Brought me to tears. Annie Lennox is such a gift to the world. As is Sting.
I can see where she'd have thought Sting would instantly guess which song she chose - the most powerful voice singing about the delicacy of being fragile. She's such a beautiful person in and out.
This song is one of the most beautiful songs Sting ever wrote, and I couldn't be happier to hear Annie's voice singing it.
This is not just a superstar singing her rendition of another superstar 's song. This is a friend giving a priceless gift to another friend...and that's even more valuable. ❤
Oh that's so true and seeing I am not the only one coming back to this is really good as well.
So Nina Simone doesn't matter ... ? ruclips.net/video/Bn6DKuEleUg/видео.html
Yes exactly so, totally agree...
The talent of Annie Lennox is only eclipsed by how gracious she has always carried herself. Great tribute for Sting
My late partner worked with her for a short while. He said she is lovely, with a great sense of humour but she has really bad stage fright, even now!
She loves his music more than him😂

When Annie sings, the world stops in awe!

That was very beautifully stated.😊
Oh my God. I knew she was a force but this was unreal
She says, " I tried " ...I love everything about Annie Lennox. 🕊💖🎹
I love that. Humility is the greatest virtue. This was a masterful performance.
HUMILITY/ANNIE LENNOX - 2 words that dont belong in the same room. They are all up their own ass.
yepp too humble for a legend,, both Sting and Annie Lennox are big talents

Sting trying to fight the tears, and what a privilege to have Annie Lennox honor your music
Sting's face was the best part of this entire performance. His genuine emotion got me. Anne nailed it perfectly.
Love
Deep in the suol
The look on his face when he heard her name . I bet STing rarely gets star stuck or emotional like Annnie just did to him
Annie was almost overwhelmed with emotion so she wasn't in full control of her voice.
She took big pressure to perform for Sting and the king and the rest.
You’re absolutely right. The same tought did cross my mind
The privilege is not only Annie's, it's Sting's also. Doesn't matter how big you are, if Annie Lennox is performing your song it's such a huge privilege.
Hear hear. So so so so true.
That is so true...well said.
Did you hear Gregory Porter nail It's Probably Me?
I think that sting thought the same thing
She sounded sincere in her introduction.... if not, it would've been condescending and smarmy.
I feel blessed to have lived i a world where Sting gave us his amazing talents...
Absofuckenlutly!
Even the biggest stars can be star-struck in the presence of greatness.
You said you tried but you conquered. Magnificent
Sting's surprise was so genuine.❤
No matter what is going in our lives , no matter how ugly it gets , music like this will always transport us to a very beautiful place 🙏
Even if only for a few wonderful minutes 😴
Beautifully said!

Her naked voice sets the song alight, dares to be vulnerable, dares to be weak. That is the strength of Annie Lennox.
@Eurotrash on Tour You must have spent your young life listening to plastic auto tune pop stars
Aside from the gorgeous vocal performance, that was some excellent piano playing!
I remember hearing her voice for the first time as a young child and was instantly transfixed. She has a unique and beautiful instrument - it is lovely to see she has taken great care of it.
you know you have done something right,when superstars sing YOUR song :)
That must be a great compliment; to write a song with such personal meaning, and then to have another artist like Annie Lennox show such an appreciation for it.
Im not crying you're crying.
Ok. Im crying.
Beautiful 😍
I was a teen in the early 80s and have the distinct pleasure of seeing Annie and Dave perform, as with Police/Sting and countless often during the British Invasion II.
Kids today have no idea what it was like being a teen in the 80s and surviving the Grunge movement... what a ride it was!
Chills.... i started crying from the first words of the song, and at the same time I saw Sting having tears on his face.... Incredible interpretation! She sings the truth.
The audience shows...
exactly this!
Well..
Are you really serious? Sting was fucking horrified. She BUTCHERED this song. She was off key, and couldn't even keep up with her timing and she is the one playing the dayum piano, you tone deaf idiot
@@nunya2954 You didn't understand the meaning of the lyrics and this performance itself.
Annie Lennox's voice still rings like a clarion. Just beautiful
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!
No autotuning there! Raw talent, just her Voice and Piano and transfixing.. not many could sing and perform that! One of the Great artists of the 80s! 👍🏴🇬🇧
She’s Scottish 🙃
🏴
Beautiful to see she moved Sting to tears, amazing performance!
She is so simply inspiring
Sting , I, like hundreds of millions of others have had my life enriched by the beauty of your music and your persona.
I thank you most sincerely for the incredible gift of your such varied music .
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 .!!!!!
We didn't care about having no sun . You were the shining light that put such warmth and joy into our
hearts . A million thankyous . Your music will go on forever .
Annie Lennox is amazing and Sting clearly appreciated her performance and ultimately her tribute.
Always enjoyed her and Sting as well. Check out her singing "September in the Rain" on youtube. Fabulous!! Saw Sting in Connecticut in late 80's.
Fragile… what a beautiful piece of music!!
This is called talent!! This is real music, with a storyline, a message and emotion that move you. So-called musicians today have no clue!
Annie Lennox' voice still sounds great at 63. That's a real achievement
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!
Amazing performance and singing but then both of them are amazing artists. So happy to see Annie singing and performing! The notes at the end as she goes high...man!
I can feel the connection between the two. One great singing his feelings and then he gets to hear the sorrow felt from another great, maybe even incomparable until that moment
First I was like .. hmm interesting, then I realized what exactly I was witnessing .. goosebumps - Only Annie could translate like she did .. amazing :-)
Oh my God...what i have just seen and heard! Ladies and Gentlemen this is ART.

I cried. This is my favourite son of his, but Annie's powerful and intense rendition moved me
😓
Cried, as well! THAT SONG! Depth, of her vocals.....💝
Annie opened for Sting on tour, we saw them at The Palace of Auburn Hills. She was shy at first and enchantingly powerful. We enjoyed Sting but our night was made by Annie Lennox.
Wow wish I'd seen and heard that, must of been an out of this world experience 😮
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
It is gone!
Such a stunning performance. So incredibly emotive and so powerfully beautiful. Brought me to tears. Annie Lennox is such a gift to the world. As is Sting.
I can see where she'd have thought Sting would instantly guess which song she chose - the most powerful voice singing about the delicacy of being fragile. She's such a beautiful person in and out.
