Damn bro must really be blind he butchered that song let me do a guitar solo to save it.😭🗑

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.
