I'm So Happy I Can't Stop Crying Live. Sting and Ross Viner

Great hilarious video from some guy who sang with him. www.brushwithfame.com
Sting pulls guy (Ross Viner) up from audience to sing with him.

[@rossydv]

I practiced the song like crazy the day before. Thanks a bunch for the kind words!

[@GodInTheMachine]

you stole the show

[@drnellybuckman195]

Don't sell yourself short, you were great 👌💕🎤🤗

[@rossydv]

@@drnellybuckman195 well ain’t you wonderful. Thank you!! 🙏🤗

[@drnellybuckman195]

Ross, you deserve all the kind and best words in the world. It was wonderful, l to replay it is also very funny, how Sting reacted 💕👋😅

[@drnellybuckman195]

Oi ! ! ! You better be good 😜 ! ! ! You showed him 💕👋

[@jameswcollett]

6:00 That moment when Sting turns and sees Ross totally filling his boots on that long note is a sliver of priceless joy.

[@ellavaderknows]

Here it is 2023, and I still come back to this video over and over again throughout the years. One of the best vids on KZbin. I hope Ross is doing well 😀

[@rossydv]

Shucks, thanks for doing so! I’m thrilled it brings you joy.

Haven't watched this video in years and brought back the smiles again, so cool, well done. @@rossydv

I love it when Sting realizes this guy can sing.... great interaction between these two

[@2wayplebney]

Yes, Sting realises he can trust Ross to get it right, and things get even more fun.

[@birdmantd]

Sting's banter with the guy is great. He's like a more chill version of Gordon Ramsay.

[@rossydv]

Me or Sting?!! ;) Thanks for watching. SPREAD THE JOY!!!

[@oldwest517]

Never get tired of watching this over and over. Makes me smile for hours...

[@rossydv]

Thanks very much. So glad u enjoy it.

[@careykgreen]

It's a fun story of a kind of sad song

[@steelyman08]

@@careykgreen That's what Sting does so well. If he wants it to sound sad, then he'll reduce you to a liquid. But he might just as easily get you bopping to his woes.

[@jameswcollett]

I smile through my tears.

[@garmin1100]

This video definitely is the reason why this song is now a far far larger part of my life playlist. One pass, and Ross fully and absolutely nailed it!! What a magically golden moment facilitated by Sting. The unity shows brightly on all the joyful faces. Reminds me why I totally enjoy playing guitar. And only 420K views thus far, this is truly a hidden gem. Many many thanks Ross!!

[@rossydv]

Thank you for the beautiful sentiment! Best wishes to you!

[@shizuokaBLUES]

Every once in awhile when I’m feeling stressed or down I watch this. Ross wrote back to me about his experience here... and that made it even better. maybe a fellow Canadian thing.

[@nohrsy4]

We went to the Sting concert in phoenix last night and just seen this video today.. we’ve watched it 10 time and ya when Sting gives Ross the stare down on that long note is money❤️❤️ way to go Ross from a fellow Canuck…..💪🏼🏒🍺

[@DaveRobertsVO]

It's been a couple of years now...but I never tire of seeing Ross rise to the occasion! Especially when he harmonizes with Sting during the key transition when they both slide gently from A to G during the word, "Connected..." Brilliant! Again, Well done Ross!

First time I've seen this clip. Sting just moved a notch up in my book. I met him at the Memphis airport back in '97. Just walking through the airport bigger than life, no sunglasses, no hat ...just Sting being Sting.

[@GaryCook-gy6iz]

This song got me through a tough time in my life I heard it a few months after my ex wife left me for someone else and we had 2 kids together the kids was still babies at that time I listened to this song probably about 50 times over and over it really hits home when you care about your kids and I wasn't going to be a Sunday father' I was going to be a father everyday to my kids and I did went to court for 2 years before I got full custody of them money well spent at that time I still listened to this song about everyday on u tube and it takes me back to that time in my life.

@@rossydv Ross, I had a chance to meet Sting in NYC about 10 years ago when he was signing things to promote his album of winter songs. I was next in line and I think in retrospect he was reaching out to take whatever was in my hand to sign but I thought he was reaching out to shake hands, which we did. We wished each other a merry Christmas. And now I always refer to Sting as one of my closest, personal best friends. :)

[@WarlordFeyd]

This is fricking awesome and Sting was a "complete gentleman" throughout (Rossdude, Iam so damn jealous that you got to sing with my favorite male artist of all time!) from Mikey (Special thanks to policegal for getting this up on Tube)

Ross, it is quite evident that Sting was, well, non-plussed. I think he was impressed with your singing. And at the end, when you really cut loose on the final bit, and hit some higher notes... man, it was great. And when you look at Sting and see him enjoying himself and lettin' you take the show... what a hell of a nice guy he is. You're a star too, in your own way.
