      In case ur wondering, Sting is clapping like that to increase the volume of each clap (not that it matters in a crowd of that size, but anyway.) Try it urself. If you clap with ur fingers spread apart and your palms flat and open like that, the decibel level of your clap is NOTICEABLY louder. It's akin to yelling Bravo! instead of just clapping. Gives it a little more oompf. Plain and simple.

      Sting's original version uses some weird Hungarian alternating 4/5 rhythm. Bruce just took out the odd numbered beat to smooth it out. I think Sting actually started performing it that way on occasion as well.

      He may be clapping intentionally that way. That's the way they clap for example in Ethiopia, in Morocco, and in Spain (Flamenco). Probably some other countries as well. It is much louder and clearer if you hit it right. Important for the fast, intricate, and multi-layered clapping in their traditional misic.
      He's been studying world music so I'm sure he picked it up from somewhere.

      Actually, if Herbie Hancock shows up for you it means even more. Herbie's played with the greats of jazz including Miles Davis. But Bruce is stellar here and really owns the song. And to be honest if you close your eyes it's like Bruno Mars is channelling Sting...awesome.

    One day I put Sting's songs on a CD and put in our family van. That's how my wife became a fan of him. Years later my daughter who is an young adult now told me that she raided my computer and downloaded all of my music collection. She told me of all the artist she loves and one of them is Sting. She treasures these songs as they remind her of all those good child memories when we traveled in our van and listen to and often sang-along to them. My daughter got good taste in music after all...

      I remember dancing in my parents’ living room to Sting, back when I was still their only child, standing on my dad’s feet as we danced around the room. Now, as an adult, I can’t hear his songs without crying for the sweet nostalgia that they conjure within me. Your daughter will treasure the connection you share over his music for the rest of her life.
