One day Bruno will be honored at the Kennedy center.
True 🙏🏼
the one gonna do tribute to him probably not born yet..LOL
Absolutely ❤️😍❤️
Wok center
But there’s still a long way to go for that day to come
Sounds like a song written just for Bruno!
Sting's facial expressions said it all. Bruno, the band and all those that came on stage to sing along with him killed it.
Like Heart singing Led Zeppelin.
@@MsWarriordiva not quite but still great
I'm curious, who are those people he seemed really happy to see?
@@goffredo29 I was wondering the same thing, I think maybe the other cast members from one of his shows when he was on Broadway
Too bad we had endure the shots of the idiot Odumbo and The Beast. Gag me with a Volvo.
How Bruno pulls the mic away to give it that depth of someone calling for help is pretty fucking amazing
That`s an old trick,watch Paul Rodgers singing in Free if you want to see the master of the art
Wow, Bruno Mars is definitely the best male singer we have right now.
Did u check out LTDO?
@@whatyoulookingat4294 I did and it is completely mesmerizing. His vocals are heavenly.
And mover
either bruno or conor mayson
I would disagree. But he is one of the best all round entertainers and musician/songwriters.
The song „So lonely” fits so well to Bruno Mars`s voice timbre.
I was just about to say this. I can't imagine any other modern singer who could fill Sting's vocals like that. Bruno sounded brilliant singing it.
He needs to release a full cover of this song. Like NOW
@@nba_fan7214 Exactly!
@@LaineMann Yes!!!
I thought it was a little too high for him, was it not?
Even Sting's wife knows Bruno knocked it out of the ballpark. Phenomenal performance
Bruno is the real deal, obviously.
Sting is one extremely hard person to impress. Wow!
2:06 tháts the only moment where you can hear that only Sting has thát voice. For the rest, this is spectaculairly done by Bruno Mars. hands down, véry impressive indeed.
Mighty Mouse io
Mighty Mouse bruno❤️❤️❤️❤️best ever
OK Bruno is pure talent
Wooooowwww!!!!
2:19 OoooHHH YYEAAAHHHHHHHH as he moves the mic away... PERFECTION IMO!
@@SGxMONKEY Damn right, That bass is sick
+ chorus
I was expecting Oooo Yeah turned into Locked out of Heaven lyrics. Bruno Mars should do mashup of Message and Heaven with The Police as a backing band.
Yeah that is good, but trust me, more ppl can do that, than the rest of the stuff he does :P ;)
@@martinrosschou most people are not bruno mars though They don't have his voice and variety :)
Hawaii and island boy Bruno was the perfect artist to sing this reggae-inspired So Lonely and Message in a Bottle. His falsetto and rhythm were in the pocket.
Sting's expression says it all. This was a great tribute for the legendary Sting.
His expression showed he didn’t like it. Go woke go broke
@@JKLeScH777 it showed appreciation, lol it seems you can't read people's expressions very well 💀
@@JKLeScH777 Wow! Nobody's more woke than Sting, Trudy Styler, Lady Gaga, the Boss, Meryl Streep, President Obama and Michelle, Tom Hanks and Rita Wison, Lily Tomlin or Bruno Mars. Who's broke now? 😅😂✌️
@@patthenry3568 most of those people may have material wealth but are morally broke
@@JKLeScH777yeah you have mental health
You can tell that sting is analysing every note... And he's liking what he hears
Bruno is one of those dudes you listen to when your happy and your sad . He is that dude
you're*
I love Sting's wife's reaction. She's like you doing my man right. So cute!!!!
Bruno's lock out in heaven shows that he really a fans of sting
We need a full bruno mars version of so lonely
Holy shit I never realized how amazingly talented Bruno Mars is until I started watching all his live performances and some tributes he has done. This performance blew me away. Bruno honors Sting by singing his songs, yet makes them his own/puts a touch of Bruno in them. Incredibly talented
I mean Bruno Mars did a mashup of Smell's Like Teen Spirit and Billie Jean and it made somehow work lol
@@itisnotreallythatimportant He is unbelievably talented!
Have you not seen his super bowl performance it's better than anything I've ever seen in my life!!!!!! Probably most underrated Superbowl performance cuz people didn't think it would be anything
I put him in the talent level with Prince and Michael Jackson. His songwriting is prolific, and he has been performing since he was a small child. He plays multiple instruments, can obviously sing and doesn’t dance too badly either. Dude is the complete package!
@@tombanaski3251 this fuckin insane genious amazing guy is out of the World 😂
Meryl Streep, Bruce Springsteen, Tom Hanks... top tier artists paying respects. Great.
WoW, He is not from this Planet. he is from Mars...Very talented..
i have a lot more respect for bruno mars as an artist after seeing this video
Pure talent
I wasn't a huge fan originally. Yay. Another bop. Woohoo. But the man has range. And he is a pure entertainer.
ikr freakin' bruno mars makes every song a bit better. even the great ones! pure talent, indeed!
Pena em castellano
@@taliciasmith3958 yeah I was doubtful of Bruno's talent, now I am a believer!
It's clear to see where he got the inspiration for locked out of heaven
He invited Sting to sing it with him at the Grammys 2013
It is a Police tribute song point blank
Trudi's reactions are priceless; she is so proud and spirited in support of her husband. Such a fan.
Talk about turning a room full of sceptics to believers. That Bruno has pipes.
Bruno Mars most underrated Superbowl performance yet greatest super bowl performance!!!!😂😂😂
Mars is a rare artist of today's music
Bruno and Adele Chefkiss
That's what I love so much about the Americans. They know what appreciation is. From the president beginning over alle the big stars of the business to the guests. Such a gorgeous mood.
Never expected somebody could sing STING songs. Wowwwww
President Obama proud of a fellow Hawaii native that made it big! Bruno Mars is one of the true legends of his generation. We are so proud of both of these Hawaii boys!
bruno is the best winner in the grammys
Sting’s like “Damn...he’s as good as me.” I can die happy.
Not even close. Bruno is decent, but Sting is leagues ahead in songwriting accomplishments alone.
@@djtoman6875 it's debatable.. But remove tht even close fr fucks sake.. Don't need to undermine today's artists to call the one's of the past gr8
@@djtoman6875 Really? I'd say right now he caught up 🤣
@@aniketkumar197 It's not. He can definitely 'sing' as well as sting can. But in songwriting skills, sting is a master. It's hard to even compare very accomplished composers to sting, even the old ones. But yeah, bruno can definitely sing as good as if not better than sting.
@@fazzification well the other guy was behaving as if bruno is Jst a local street musician... Lol 😂.. And he meant that sting's song writing alone >> Bruno's entire musicality.. Thts wat i found wrong..
2:20 you know Bruno is Killin it when that neck vein is poppin
He’s a legend. But he can’t clap.
I wonder how future singers will do tribute to Bruno Mars. That would be one hell of a tough job.
Back when the President was welcome at such an event.... Excellent performance
Why do I feel every tribute Bruno Mars needs to be part of it .... This man is honestly the only man that's still keeping the old music alive right now
Love how he screams... message in a bottle...
Damn tru
so true...pure talent
True.
The only young man.
Bruno is so underestimated, he is the best male singer in this generation!!!!! Saw this video a couple of years ago, now still feel amazed.
Is great
No he's not! I mean...Pretty much everybody agree he is the best!
As Adam Levine said, "Bruno Mars is different"
No he isn't. Ed Shearan is the best singer in this generation. Bruno might be second place.
@@dazzahoward7104 thats the biggest lie ive ever seen. You think ed sheeran could sing this
To The Kennedy Center ; Bruno Mars Deserves An Honor 👏👏👏... Sent from Liverpool UK. ...p.s.Congratulations To Sweden On Winning The Eurovision Song Contest 2023. Well Done Sweden 👏👏👏. And A Huge Well Done To Welcome To Liverpool Eurovision Song Contest 2023. So Proud Of Our City, This Will Be Remembered For Years To Come. .. * Smile & Be Happy *
Bruno Mars is so talented.
Ever try to sing along to Sting? Lol… Bruno nailed the pitch 🎤💧
Bruno Mars is the best showman in music. By a longshot. I've been saying it for years, and I think he's the most underrated performer.
He was #3 of the Billboard's Artists of The Decade 2021, just this recently. He's pretty BIG, considering his #23 best selling artist of all time.
@@godlike1361 who was the best?
Bruno's tribute covers are one of the few that actually does justice.
Absolute Legend that Bruno, made Sting smile and cry, got his wife to laugh and sing along, all done under 4 mins
A Prince tribute, an Amy Winehouse tribute and this one. Bruno is phenomenal talent! All these great singers have different type of music and voice but this guy nailed it all.
And little Richard tribute !
You must see the Bob Marley tribute
Bob Marley and Little Richard
I wanna see a MJ tribute now
@@jamesmoyner7499 😕
1:21 Bruno: Hold my guitar, Imma need both hands to hit this high note.
As Sting got older he had to change the key of "So Lonely"...it's nice to find a recent live version in the original key.
The absolutely best soul singer and more must more he can do it ALL! God bless you always so much talent! WOW Damnnn 👍✌🇺🇸🎶🎸🎹
Damn, he's singing it a half step higher
Yeah!!
Bruno.....is the best performer of this time
If that wasn't "WOW!" I don't know what is...
His wife is just so adorable 😍 Her reaction is a whole vibe!!! #SaaaaaaaaaangBrunoSaaaaaaaaaaang
Damn, Bruno is so versatile... Can not only do Prince but Sting/the Police to? Bravo Bruno, bravo...
It's kind of a no-brainer, really. If you listen to some of his songs like "Locked out of heaven" you can tell they were probably an influence on him.
everyone sleeping on Bruno Mars. He's been this diverse!
Bruno one of the last true musicians of the generation
This is what happens when you have someone who grew up with The Police and idolizes Sting do the tribute vs. someone who heard Every Breath You Take for the first time all of 10 minutes before going on stage.
Bruno, the voice of a generation ❤️❤️❤️
Best 🅰️RTIST of our generation 🙌🙌
This man is the best singer around thank to his parents bringing him in this world, I went to see the Police in 83 at Olympic stadium Montreal now I’m 52 sick with diabetes and COPD on oxygen and when I play Bruno Mars I fell 20 again thanks Peter🙏🇨🇦🇮🇹🇬🇧😎
For me, Bruno Mars is still the best.
Mr. Kenny Aronoff on the drums! One of the greats in his own right.
he looks like Ray Cooper
Seeing sting clap his hands makes me smile every time
I need a full version of So Lonely by Bruno Mars
For anyone saying “Wow Bruno can really sing!” Hmm where have you been, under a rock?
We knew Bruno could sing but sing Sting? He killed it! Bravo, Bruno!
@@susan350 He can sing anybody's song because he is that talented and has the range.
@@feliciasanders2066 Bruno is amazing!
No I have been listening to Ed Shearan.
^^^this^^^
I didn't want to watch this video because of Bruno... Now I'm watching it again because of Bruno...
He’s so ridiculously good. And trudie is adorable singing along 😃
The definition of don’t wait for a man to die to give him his flowers
Why are so many people impressed by Bruno doing this and other tributes? Just listen to his first record and if you do not recognize the talent you do not have any clue about music
Holy shit, Bruno slayed that performance! He actually sounds a little Sting.
Here he comes, bruno mars, the best of our generation
One of the greatest KH ever! Sting was clearly moved.😪
Beautiful beautiful Bruno songhhhhs...quite a great talent kid...Great JOY to see you all performing for them...Looks the Obamas enjoyed the music playing and the great camaraderie!
They must have him on speed dial - when they need tributes done, he seems to be the "go to" guy. That was beautiful and Sting loved it! The pure joy on his face said it all. He's done Amy Winehouse, Prince, Little Richard ... he always seems to capture the artist's essence. #LoveHim
Yes!! ❤
And Bob Marley!!
Love The Police Love Bruno .....heaven
the girl in yellow is SO COOOOL .....wow stunning
One of my "good old days" Song. But B.M. made a very respectful A++ Cover.
bruno could do any tribute
Angelic = no.
Bruno is the real deal!
Sting is clapping his hands in such a funny way 😂
He makes them sound like those are his-- always great, Bruno 🤍
Only Bruno could have pulled this out. Love ya.
Sting loved and us too. Bruno is awesome!
One day Bruno also seat there and one of the singers pay tribute to him... waiting for that day😇
The only and most talented singer we have right now Talk done!
Wow...Bruno Mars singing Sting/police...very cool...
He is a class above. One of the best singers of the modern era.
What this guy can't do. This guy can do anything in music
He is music. Just happy we have our own once in a decade artist. Question is, which generation is gonna claim him?
All of these tribute performances for/to Sting, you always see great or tiny degrees of nails on the chalkboard for him. He sets the bar higher than most musicians/performers, even the most renowned, to begin to approach. Bruno Mars erased all of Sting’s pain and genuinely moved him moved him. Strange aside, but what if Stevie Ray Vaughan or Prince could’ve been called up on stage to blow some doors off too?
Bruno can sing anything! He's amazing!
Mars did both songs total JUSTICE! Great!!!!!! And you can tell Sting was totally impressed!
Six years after I come here again to enjoy this wonderful tribute to the spectacular Sting , Bruno Mars is a show man 🎙️🎤🎶🎵🎸🥁🔊🥰😍🤩
Wow.. 😮 He CRUSHED that.. !!
Never really a fan of brunos music but damn his voice is amazing
someone has got to come and pick my jaw up off the floor. absolutely amazing.
Wow. So lonely is my favourite Police song. Bruno does it justice 10 fold!
Resfect for Bruno Mars who sing this song so nice, but very resfeccfull for sting and the Police who make a great lyric and music for this song.
Kenny A on the drums……Sublime.
Only Bruno Mars could sing a Sting song and do justice !! Bravo BM !! 👏👏👏
Ogie Cruz Bruno and Sting are friends.
Yes!!!
Check out Gregory Porter - It's Probably Me. ABSOLUTELY KILLS IT!!! Even sting agreed, judging by his reactions. And his wife too!!
One great singer
So proud look at new generation)
.....With the most perfect teeth my goodness gracious -- Bruno Mars. 😁😇
And great song
And dancer y!
Geddy Lee from RUSH is great too
i may not be a fan of bruno’s music but he knocked out with his performance
Brilliant performance! Bruno matches Sting's vocal note for note and manages to add his own flair.
