  • My singer friend Noam urged me to see this: Sting humbly giving the stage to Stevie Wonder, who then kills it singing and on harmonica. After our reaction, we mustered up the courage to do our own duet of Fragile.
    Here's the original live performance of Fragile
    • Fragile - Sting & Stev...
    If you like reaction videos, I made a free online course based on them:
    singwell.eu/on...
    Here's Noam's channel, she performs Ladino music.

    Sting has no ego here, because if he did he would be shown up by Stevie, just because he is Stevie. If you listen and watch a lot of Stevie he is just himself and he can’t help but be beautiful! Thank you

    • @hfortenberry
      @hfortenberry Před 4 lety +5

      Sting does not have an ego here, true, but it's not because he would be shown up (he probably would) but he does it out of respect for Stevie, not out of a selfish need to protect his image. Simply out of love and respect...and his own sense of self-confidence.

    Stevie is just that a wonderful musician and artist. He just does what he knows without effort. I love his song Joy Inside My Tears. There’s so many different styles to him and they all just happens.🥰🥰🥰

    Oh how so happy I am that you covered this video. I watched it again and again when I first discovered that video. Stevie can make anyone's song sound like his own because of how he rearranges the style to fit his aesthetic sound. He made the song sound like he wrote it for Sting or something. And Sting is so wonderfully (no pun intended) humble to just stand back and let Stevie take the whole lead. I would be just floored like Sting was too, if Stevie sang my song and made it sound like a whole new version. So awe inspiring and amazing that prodigy is. I love Stevie. He's my favorite singer. Thank you, ladies, for the reaction.

    Such beautiful commentary, Was so lovely to confirm my my own observations,, such lovely analysis. I am not listening to you for my own opinion. I know Maestro Stevie Wonder is the poet of the late half of the twentieth century, and ALL so far, of the twenty-first ,thank you both again.. it provides me with such encouragement ,.born in 1957. Maestro Bach ,Mozart, Schubert, Mendelsohhn, Beethoven, and all who would appreciate Stevie's work! bless him!

    When you guys were stumbling to come up with descriptive words to describe Stevie....right at the end when he blew that last harmonica high note...and Sting came over and hugged him.....well, it should have been so simple for you two. He is....just, succinctly...exactly, what his name signifies of him. He is a musical....WONDER.

    • @hfortenberry

    That gesture of Sting, opening his arms and shrugging his shoulders, means: he is Stevie Wonder, and just naming him is enough as a synthesis of music, art and talent and Sting, a true star, feels humbly honored to be able to be at his side. side and that, like AR-TIS-TA, sing his song

    Watched again. Love pointing out the unique harmonica playing. It amazes me how someone can take an instrument used by so many and make it unique to them. I also loved the observation of using his voice as percussion. I never caught that before. You two are great.

    For me, Stevie has the most beautiful voice - something about the character, quality, and tone - he is just out of this world. I remember hearing his voice for the first time on the radio when I was a very young child and was immediately drawn in.

    While I do not share your appreciation of Sting, I love Stevie Wonder. I do think that Sting has found his place for any performances where he shares the stage with Stevie. How does he still hit those notes. I first saw Stevie on the Ed Sullivan Show in the late 50's. He sang "I Was Made To Love Her", I think I was around 8 yrs. old. He left an impression on me. He was Little Stevie Wonder then. You two sound good together.

    @zanohoriamazo1 Před 3 lety

    Stevie's harmonica playing is like singing, always very lyrical, & he phrases taking the liberties like he sings. Part of the main purpose for jazz players or anyone who improvises is to have a voice or personal sound on your instrument. Also, the bassist playing with Sting arguably one the best in the world, Christian McBride. "musical orgasm.....' mic drop! ha!
