Whenever i am down and sad, i go looking for this video. Just to see Sting cringe and Jose singing "I'll be watching you" even though he is blind, it just changes my spirit instantly.
Why would people be clapping in such a horrible performance even the girl sounded horrible. Then the swearing b who was doing that I don't get it. Then everybody started booing. Something don't sound right here Cuz normally add a event like this. People don't act like this and boo and people. Was this a comedy act or is it supposed to be like this I don't make sense. Because all the booze in the swearing.
This is Jose Feliciano style of singing and interpretation of this song. He was not off key, he did not forget words nor crack his voice. Okay, his timing was off and phrasing was way different. But sting could of showed a little grace and modesty. Hey, switch it around and have sting try to do Latin boleros or interpret Jose's song....would be the same thing only jose would show some respect. Shame on sting.
Sting won't do it because he knows he'd butcher it and doesn't want to humiliate himself. If you're not a circus performer, don't walk a tightrope across a cage full of lions if you value your life just because the opportunity came up
@@psychobillynumbnuts1 Sort of. If you look at the original video it's not all that different; just certain facial expressions were enlarged for comedic effect. That clapping at the end where String's fingers and wrists look paralyzed says it all.
You can guess how TIRED Sting must be of this song. And still he has to listen to it time and time again, played by people who have no clue of what theyre doing.
Has anyone heard Sting say anything about this afterwards or Jose for that matter. This is beyond redemption. An apology or an explanation on what went wrong is in order.
Sting: (Inner Voice) Uggghh, I knew I should’ve packed some ear plugs for this event! Thank God for Sean Combs’ rendition and the royalties he pays me daily.
Feliciano makes Mr. Sting, suffer as he progresses putting his iconic song in a couffin, simply Feliciano give birth to a death song. They killed the song.
Could not stop breaking out into chortles of laughter despite admirable restraint. Poor Sting having to listen and to pretend to ENJOY this rendition in PUBLIC. 😆 🤣 😂
Wow... This thing belongs on one of those "Golden Throats" comedy CDs. How Sting avoided breaking into laughter is a mystery. And to think I landed here just after first hearing Eva Cassidy's "Fields of Gold". What a brutal transition. Jose is to the guitar here as Bob Dylan is to the harmonica. I wish that were the worst part of it.
The irony of Joe Feliciano, a blind singer singing, "Oh can't you see" in the wrong key, was not lost on me.
🎶 “The ‘oh can’t you see’
Wasn’t lost on me…” 🎶
of course we can see, you blind fool, only you can't
hes not a comedian pretending he just actually sucks that bad?
@@RolandDeschaineelook for his cover of california dreamin, hes legit
@@mrlucius57 and y'know Feliz Navidad
Every mistake you make...Sting be watching you.
😆
I read the comments in English and Spanish and I can't stop laughing.
🤣😂
Best comment!!! 😅

Best comment lol
bwahahahahah 😂
Yeah, it makes me feel worse.
The producers have a very sick sense of humor to have chosen this song for a blind man to sing in public.
I agree
Damn bro must really be blind he butchered that song let me do a guitar solo to save it.😭🗑

Indeed and on so many levels!
Who cares if he’s blind.
Good on Sting for keeping his composure.😂
He struggled too hard. His wife did better.
He was squirming out of his skin.
He was on fire xD
Sportsmanship
Justamente parece que se está c... pobre Sting jajjaj
It sounds like when I start failing a song in guitar hero
LMAOOO
dude hahahaha
😂😂🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
this sounds like I feel when I'm riding my bike at high speed and my shoelaces get wrapped up in the pedals. F me.
“Jose, when we said we wanted a perfect execution of the song, we meant....”
😂

Look for Sting singing one for all live! You are going to get disappointed bud.
@@ricoespinoza7632 well said. The song sucks anyway 😉
@@ricoespinoza7632 it may be his interpretation but it still sounded like shit!
Jose is the true king of pain
Underrated comment
They are nowhere near in synchronicity with eachother
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I am funking dying over here
Somewhere Stuart Copeland was laughing his ass off at Stings discomfort 😂😂
😂😂😂
And Andy
The fact that the camera focused on Sting so much makes this a comedy sketch
i have my camera focused on your wife rn
Now it's time to listen Sting singing "Feliz Navidad"
Sting won't do it because he knows he'd butcher it and doesn't want to humiliate himself. If you're not a circus performer, don't walk a tightrope across a cage full of lions if you value your life just because the opportunity came up
That's a good one. Sting looked very uncomfortable.
Who gives a fuck about that shit song.
The fact that it's in a foreign language doesn't excuse that performance
Sweet revenge... 😅
you could tell Sting wanted to like it.. ... but just couldnt...
Thank you for perfectly describing how I feel about this song.
Sting is obviously clueless...feliciano a musical genius ...way ABOVE STING
@@victorvelazquez1190 You're right, He's so God damn good he can't even play and sing a 4 basic chords song in the right tempo (and tune).
@@psychobillynumbnuts1 Sort of. If you look at the original video it's not all that different; just certain facial expressions were enlarged for comedic effect. That clapping at the end where String's fingers and wrists look paralyzed says it all.
He tried not to laugh his ass off
It's so uncomfortable because the lyrics say "I'll be watching you" but Feliciano is blind.
And clearly deaf too.
@@DeJetleyMarks HAHAHAHAH
so I wasn't the only one who thought it phew !
@@DeJetleyMarks cause you can play and sing better right?
That's what makes it absolutely hilarious. It's a masterpiece of irony and ridiculousness, I love it.
2:05 The Carlin got me. 😂
HOW MY POOR HEART AACHES
😂
😂😂😂 truly! You nailed it!
That stings.
It sure does
Woooo 🤯🤣
😂😂😂 Ouch!
I bet he heard it once or twice on the radio and when he got asked if he knows the lyrics, he just said "of course" and just went with it.
When Jesus is watching Christian television.
Incognito12000 underrated comment
😂🤣😂🤣 you a mess
Best comment award goes to you sir
The best comment ever!!!
when jesus watching judes in palestina
When Jose sings out: “Oh can you seeeeee?”
🤣🤣🤣
😂😂😂
Looks like Sting is contemplating calling the police 😂😂😂
Jose killed it 😅
I love the part when Phoebe from friends starts singing
Rossssssss cannnn
😂
I wonder what the hell Sting did to poor Señor Feliciano to deserve that.
His solo work, lol. And for killing The Police
He caused his blindness
He didn't wish Jose a merry Christmas
@@vincentschmitt7597he did but not from the bottom of his heart
Not only was this performed in front of the swedish royal family but also Sting himself 😂
What a relief I felt when that lady took that part to sing!
why it was even 1000 times more painful
Yeah - she sounded like she was singing the phone book.
She was not good either
This is the greatest thing I've ever seen
You have not mined the internet deep enough. There are deeper veins to explore.

This is the best Song (Version) that exists, present from High above...
He is such a perfectionist, that must have killed him to watch his song be butchered.
He should sing feliz navidad and totally butchered just to get even
@@George-gb2zn LOL! That's too funny
he was definitely pissed off!!!
I’ll be watching you? Dude really?
nobody cares s
about your opinions
Whoever etited this deserves an Oscar. I couldn't stop laughing 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Glad you did I found it despicable.
Also, I find this performance humorous,/ es español hay comentarios tan graciosos sobre la mala interpretacion
@@maakeklein4073 lol. Why?its funny
Who is Sting?
@@Quirkincho the guy who sung this song for the police
These are the faces of people doing everything they can to not be seen laughing at a blind man butcher a classic song
It is an absolute crime you don’t have more subscribers for creating this masterpiece of comedy
Sorry don't find it in least bit funny!
😂😂🎉🎉🎉🎉
You can guess how TIRED Sting must be of this song. And still he has to listen to it time and time again, played by people who have no clue of what theyre doing.
He deserves every bit of this, for singing duets with Brian Adams and Rod Stewart.
I imagine this was also Frank Herbert's reaction to watching Stings performance in Dune (1984)
😂😂😂
This is funny. 😆
sting'a and his speedos'
The definition of “you tried”
😂😂😂
Thank God Jose will never have to see this
Ouch
I see what you did there... Jose, however, will not see it.
I've been learning Sober to Death on guitar. This is what it sounds like when I play it.
I love how to original upload of this has inactivated their comment section.... haha
It's back up!
Has anyone heard Sting say anything about this afterwards or Jose for that matter. This is beyond redemption. An apology or an explanation on what went wrong is in order.
Why? Sting sucks anyway
@@JF80001 like you
This is clearly causing him a lot of pain :p
hes the king of pain, he can handle it
@@croay Beyond that I think 😂
No shit.
You could say that it... stings.
@@croay There's a little black spot on my eyesight
'I'll be watching you' - That's the wrong song for Feliciano to begin with
Well, shit
Hahahahaah
It's like Stevie Wonder saying he "never thought he would see the day Micheal Jackson had passed away.."
Stevie, you didn't see that shit...
😂🤣😂🤣😂
The voice over 😂😂😂😂
1:24 Sting thinks "ohhh, thanks to God it's over his part...". The old man: "not yet"
Sting: (Inner Voice) Uggghh, I knew I should’ve packed some ear plugs for this event! Thank God for Sean Combs’ rendition and the royalties he pays me daily.
“Well you can’t get much better than Jose Feliciano”. “Hey waiter!”
2:05 lol This shit was hilarious. Plus the Guitar Hero boos added on top were the icing on this massive shit cake
Polar Music Award, is that cause it's "polarizing" to have to listen to this?
Jose Feliciano is blind, but I didn't know he was deaf as well!! 🤣🤣🤣
He's all over the place keeping up with this song!!
Feliciano makes Mr. Sting, suffer as he progresses putting his iconic song in a couffin, simply Feliciano give birth to a death song. They killed the song.
2:03 That "get the f out of here part" though😅 i cannot stop laughing 🤣please somebody help me please😂
Victoria really tried to vibe with it 😂👌🏻
The solo is the icing on the cake! I actually felt sorry for Sting 😂 his face!!! 😂😂😂😂
Sting cries seeing what Feliciano has done to a great song.
2:01 sting starts naturally shaking his head “no” and then catches himself lol
Sting got Stung with this one, he took every breath to get through Jose’s cover. Every move he made was a painful thing to watch. 😖😮💨
😂😂😂
From now on, sting will remember jose every Christmas!!!
Feliz navidad!!
That's payback for making an album with Shaggy
🤣🤣
A blind guy singing about watching you is probably the first sign of a problem.
Im dying of laughter
They're being so polite and Sting is just dying inside
That guitar solo though…
Ripped off Thunderstruck
Los solos de guitarra que hacíamos en el colegio 😂
I nearly puked from laughing so hard at the “get the fuck outta here”
Sting's wife:honey why did u wrote this song
Write*
@@rentalsnake6542 This Isn't an English class.
This is me everyday watching the world do it's everyday things.
Sting was very patient, within moments he was calling the police
This video stresses me out. Hahahaha they butchered the song.
I was curious if it was just me that found this weirdly stressful.
Sting looks like the dad watching his son doing the show stopper in the school play and trying so hard to be proud.
Could not stop breaking out into chortles of laughter despite admirable restraint. Poor Sting having to listen and to pretend to ENJOY this rendition in PUBLIC. 😆 🤣 😂
I have a feeling that sting wants to call the police
If I were Sting, I would have gotten up and sung it myself, that would have been a show
He loves it so much, can’t stop shaking
Hearing a blind man say he'll be watching you won't ever stop being funny
A beautiful rendition.
This is freaking hilarious..Sting is thinking..”f me!”
At least the lady sitting 2 down Sting enjoyed the sound
Song**
2:14 was the drummer really needing to read a chart to play a steady 4/4, or was he just looking away out of embarrassment?
Who ever did this editing is a genius lmao
It's like Jose Feliciano wanted to do his cover of "California Dreaming" but he ended up doing a Neil Young song
"Are they shouting boooh or Buorns?"
"No sir, that was amazing they are shouting Buorns!"
Feliciano sang "Every breath you take" the same way Sting sang in french "Ne me quite pas" XD
Every bond you break,oh, ohhhhh illl be watching you!
I hate that this doesn’t have 20 million views.
Doctor Octopus got no chill
With Jose feliciano you have no complaints
Sting: Did you see how you butchered my song?
Jose: I didn't see any of that.
i read also this comment in spanish, well done. 🤣😂
Lmao
My stomach hurt from so much laughing that I had to pause it to take a break. It gets better at 2:05
This is priceless
Sting thinking ‘ I think I want to take up carpentry’
as he was listening to this version 😂
Wow... This thing belongs on one of those "Golden Throats" comedy CDs. How Sting avoided breaking into laughter is a mystery.
And to think I landed here just after first hearing Eva Cassidy's "Fields of Gold". What a brutal transition. Jose is to the guitar here as Bob Dylan is to the harmonica. I wish that were the worst part of it.
The coke snort at 0:34 had me dying.
Man Imagine watching in agony as someone butchers one of your songs, Sting deserves better than this
He does?
“wanna get away”? 😂😂😂😂
The true crime was committed by whoever thought having Feliciano cover the song was a good idea in the first place.
José Feliciano. What a tryhard my friend🤠
at 1:50 Feliciano tought he was at spain playing their iconic Spain guitars
Sting to Jose: "Don't Stand So Close To Me, King of Pain"
You have to respect sting for holding back what you know he must have thought about the performance.
Never knew sight had such an impact on timing.
Did Jose listen to the original version before performing? 😂😂😂
Feliciano to Every Breath You Take: "so you've chosen death"
I can't imagine a scenario where Jose will be watching anyone.
Watching that must have stung for Sting
