#PolarMusicPrize #Sting #TheTallestManOnEarth - Hudba
Idk why i was expecting some 8"11 dude to start playing Roxanne
I was haha!
Eddie Murphy sung this better in the movie 48 hours.
Because when someone says "The Tallest Man on Earth" you think the title, not the band
Same. Lol.
Same thing here. What a shitty band name
Come on guys! That was a great interpretation by The Shortest Pants On Earth!
haha
hahahahaha
Judging the package and not the content.., leave it to kids and please grow up, this would never pass the blind test except with a few woke teen, which by the way says it all..
@@Deepurplerain Well...there are no pants for the tallest man that will fit ...now will there? ;-)
@@NetDijk Also anorexic (talent) though..
This was banging, hairs went up excellent interpretation.
This is as brilliant as it possibly can be. TMOE is a genius.
So nice that they miniaturized him so that he could fit in the studio and perform...The wonders of science
lmao
@@trintdaddylandis me too. and he keeps standing on his tiptoes because he feels so short now.
Yeah....WTF happened .......and he crucified the song as well?
@@nuclearfishin1185 Most importantly, yes.
@@nuclearfishin1185 no doubt. horrible performance.
He's so tall that he can't find pants long enough to cover his ankles.
@Clean Up On Aisle 3 from 1965. 😆
Why do people hate this? Its a unique arrangement of a great song done in good faith by a great artist. Also with the stage presence thats just his thing, Sting stans making fun of someone for being too feminine on stage is hilarious.
Because it is awful
Does anyone hate this? I see no such thing. Amazing and the best cover version I've seen of this song
because it is not good
It’s a bunch of tasteless boomers who get off on marble mouthed swill like “Fields Of Gold”, consider the source.
They hate it because it sucks.
He killed it ❤❤
Sting like it....
See his face❤
I’ve been lied to. This man is average height.
I mean, you've got to have a lot of balls to play this in front of Sting himself
Of course hes the dean martin of our generation
Just hes barely known
redi kurti you mean he’s a drunken shill?... I agree
Yeah you need massive bollocks to get the lyrics wrong 4/5 times & be as flat as pancake throughout.
My lyrish
I've never seen a guitarist play on his "tippy toes". Now I can say I have..
I cry cheat, he's only the Tallest Man on Earth because he's standing tippy toe all the time !
Without the skinny jeans he normally sings baritone....
😂😂😂😂
You made my day!
Wadda bunch of shite. Singer should be wearing Alladin boots and skipping over puddles.
Not skinny jeans! Yoga pants with belt loops.
@Mike Mullet He looks like he has to poop the way he's dancing around.
My name is Roxanne and I can’t tell you how many times I’ve had guys sing that to me on the phone, at a sandwich counter, at Radio Shack, etc lol, and I love it. The guys will sing the same ROOOXXXAAAANNNE and then say oh I’m sorry, I hope I didn’t insult you. I get a seranade from playful guys who mean nothing negative about, just being playful.
Roxanne....put on your red.....Opps.
I'm so glad that you love that. I'm sure no one means any harm by it.
Everytime I see my friend Roxanne I greet her with a Roxxxannne!
And what about "Avalon" by Roxy Music??
God bless you ❤️
my name is jesse.... I feel your pain
He did well. Can you even imagine the pressure of trying to perform a police or sting original in front of “the man?” Jesus I would have went full Jose Feliciano and peed my pants.
why did you put "the man" in parenthesis?
This reminds me of being sober, and watching a video of myself when I was shit faced. 😅
Yeah. ... "what did I do last night. .. Oh shit" 😂😂😂😂
Bro lmaooo 😆 🤣
Thanks for the laugh
lol!!!
Best Roxanne cover ever.
Absolutely
No doubt
I thought it was great too. What’s with all these people bashing it. I don’t think they know shit
@@jordandangelo180 Absolutely
No doubt
awsome singer
Fucking what? Pubescent boy voice sings over badly arranged orchestra cover of a great song in front of the original artist. I'm not sure if it is your ears or your brain that is fucked
Brilliant interpretation. Bravo!!!
So different from the original and yet... so wonderful and unique. The orchestre, the interpretation of Kristian, giving it a whole new emotion ¡Bravo!
💯
The guy is just adorable!
And an amazing artist too. I listen to it 24/7.
All the performer's who sang Sting's songs in all the videos were more than BEAUTIFUL. the young man from Sweden, sang the words clearly so you could understand them and he was more than ADORABLE. dancing without socks on like that. God Bless Him
His interpretation of this Sting classic is absolutely beautiful! Popa Sting loved it!
Are you fucking serious? I've heard better singing at 1st grade recitals.
Leonard Cohen is somewhere in heaven going.... Wow, this guy's voice sucks!
Hahahahahahaha....good one!!
Really nice arrangement!
Extraordinary!
What an amazing rendition, bravo.
Fantastic
You must be a relative or friend because it sucked
Sting is thinking not only is he crucifying my song but his trousers shrank in the wash as well.
I can bet you, sting was impressed by this cover. The intro chords were beautiful plus the orchestra was a gem. And it had dynamics. It had sth to enjoy in every bit of the song. Thats sth sting craves.
Shame about the vocal
@@steveechoesguitar3295he just changed the genre so,now the vocals work for the genre. He is not singing rock, so its fine.
@@mahbubellahi9191 maybe to you but to my ear it’s really not great
watched him live 10 years ago in paredes de coura, one of my favourites.
Sting watches every verse you sing.
Magnificent, I highly recommend on listening to his own songs, he's literally one of the "one percenters" in the music world because he's so talented! And also many of the covers that he does are actually better than the originals!!
Sting needs to hold that guy down and have a tantric talk to his face with his tantric fist!
love it!
I mean.. they gathered 30 people in an orchestra but couldn’t move my feelings more than 3 young boys from 1978.
Pedro Amaral - “3 young boys from 1978” sounds incriminating
You're right. But did you hear Gregory Porter nail Probably Me. You could see how moved Sting was - like a playright watching a great actor in his play !!
Whammo!
True
This
Fantastic performance of a great song!
Sting generously nodding in the audience but really wanting to roll his eyes
Doubtful stop acting like you'd know.
Yeah...it's awfully awful.
everything can get even better with an orchestre behind it. I'm so glad Kristian had this opportunity.
Grymt framförande , Tack för musiken Kristian
Great performance.
I guess something is wrong with me. Huge fan of Sting and I thoroughly enjoyed this.
I actually didn’t mind it myself. It wasn’t special, but it’s not dreadful.
special and good. You have an actual ear for music
Tallest man on earth wearing the shortest pants on earth.
when you are the tallest man it's hard to find clothes that fit !
LOL.. But hey, correction. That's an illusion. no pants can fit the tallest man down to his ankles ;-)
and doing the pee-pee dance
hahaha that cracked me up!
pee pee dance lol EXACTLY what I was thinking
Sting is like: Hmmm yes I approve of your attempt to do justice to my towering genius - you have my blessing. Now send in the next peasant...
Yes. Haha! Perfect.
The Sting in my head was more like
"FOR FμCKS SAKE! Who let this blathering pansy on the stage! Butchering my song!!! Am I being punked?!?"
@tom george Tallest Man On Earth> Sting and The Police. smh
😂😂😂😂
That’s how you play someone’s song in front of them. Damn.
New group hits the charts"The Elevator Police". Coming to a waiting room or on hold line near you soon.
1:18 Sting: "this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen"
great cover .,, hes cool .
"Next!" Which from the expression on his face is probably pretty much what Sting thought, too.
People hate things they don't understand, scared and can only criticize things they don't understand..
blown away by this guy! What a performance!!
He was upstaged by the World's Shortest Giant singing "It's Raining Men"
😂😂
So stupid I dont know why I'm still laughing
When you badly need to go to the toilet, but there’s a queue…
Everything I've seen from this show makes it look like the most uncomfortable night of Sting's life
Right! Like TOTALLY😂
I loved this arrangement! Beautiful.
Yes, amazing and wonderful
Kudos to the guy. To perform one of Stings songs whilst he watches on is a brave move. Personally I liked it too.
Not if he’s shit lol
something is wrong with your brain. that was horrible.
I get it now. He is the tallest man in the world but he plays hunched over so he appears smaller
Sting must have drawn the short straw that night! In his head he's singing... "I'M on the HIGHWAY TO HELL!"
Dudes walking around on that stage like he’s put on his red lights.
😂😂😂😂
Couldn't keep watching goat boy prance around on his tippy toes.
I like it a lot. Very nice arrangement, he is strong and unique
So many complaints - it’s a weird arrangement but he hits every note so well? Can’t say he’s not talented, he’s a phenomenal performer
@DadisDad so you don’t like his voice or the way he moved in this? Fair enough, that doesn’t mean he’s not a good performer, he quite often is - I’ll agree though this isn’t a very good performance - I’ll restate, he did hit every note he attempted to. All good x
its good. i would love it if i had not heard the original.
Amazing
Sting is like “this sucks” but he has to be nice
Lol, the look on stings face... who butchering my song, priceless
I really liked the performance and I think the comments were so cruel. This guy is a genius and he represented the music in his own style. The original music and that version are very different but both are cool. Good job Kristian!
Genius....Sorry but I believe you are using that word a little loosely here.
Everyone’s a genius these days...
Nah this guy is actually a genius. Go listen his own compositions. They are so original adn beautiful. Also his lirycs are like poetry but go on and take a look for yourself if you care to verify that
@@jayherzog7683 not really Read some of the dudes lyrics and his actual songs, like the garden is maybe the best written song in the last 50 years
It’s not supposed to be about him, it’s about Sting. Two artists completely murdered two of his songs. Dreadful performances. Sting holds back his wincing a bit better on this particular performance opposed to Jose’s performance.
I loved this show thank you !
Roxanne put her red light back on after hearing this.
j'adore "The Tallest Man on Earth" et réellement cette reprise de Roxanne est magnifique avec une orchestration au TOP !
It was very unique.. I liked it👍
Hmmm...Sting is thinking!...Honey do you want a bag of Crisps as I`m just off to the Bar for a Pint!!
I never even knew he did this. Been a fan since I was like 13
clickbait. was expecting taller man.
dude. great one. be well. 🌴
Funny.
Ever since Tiny Tim died...tip-toeing through the tulips has been forbidden.
@@BuddhaofBlackpool Or might've been sand in his vag.
There's a reference for the kids.
😆😆😆😆😆
Un Gran cantante STING, felicitaciones también al cantante que lo interpreta.
Sting was like leave my song alone.
It's clear, he desperately needs to piss
And that is why he made this masterpiss! d-:
Who needs comedy videos on CZcams when all someone has to do is read comments on YOutube! Good one Natalia!
Sting is desperately trying not to look at those yucky white ankles sticking out! What's wrong with this guy?!?
Just no.1's, not no 2's ???
JamaicaSound79 heheheh muahah hehehehe. Us hhehehehe
This is an amazing cover! He made it his own while staying true to the original.
Pinocchio would be proud of his puppet impression
"You don't have to put on any socks"
I like the forced smile and polite clapping from Sting at the end
I don't think he's the tallest man on earth but he's probably got the biggest pair of balls, to do a version of that classic in front of Sting...
This is fabulous!!
Fabulous.......just Fabulous!
Sounded like a high school talent show.
Jr high
😆 LOL!
This is what every songwriter dreads hearing in person, a horrible rendition of one of their best written songs.
@Mr.Joetatoehead That's almost always the case.
Thanks wasted my time elsewhere on youtube
absolutely WOW! one of the best musical interpretation
Stink is sitting there thinking I must pretend to like this. Smile for the camera
Gotta hand it to him, this isn’t easy to cover without sounding like a worn out tape from every other cover band.
I like this version
He’s the tallest man if you go by his floods. And omg poor Roxanne.
ttmoe is probably the greatest folk artist of this generation, but he definitely should stick with that style
Si bravissimo!
Negative comments are so systemic of an unhappy society. It's much like school. People desperately trying to fit in and yet so quick at criticizing those who might be different. Very Interesting.
The comments section is a wonderful place to take the cerebral "pulse" of a society.
Yeah
Roxanne is a bad song from the start. Kristian is just doing his best here with bad material. I'm not a Sting hater, by the way, he's got some decent songs, but Roxanne is insufferable trash.
Now, take the cerebral pulse on that negativity.
@@okyouknowwhatever your not negative
@@okyouknowwhatever the song is trash
In the beginning, it must have been pretty hard for him to sing one song and play another one... Mad props
Love it..❤❤❤
Oh the pain behind the mask Sting is holding on with his finger
😂😂😂😂
The comments are cruel. Kristian's voice would have worked better in a lower key but the arrangement was great
If one is going to go this route (as the singer did) they had better be prepared to take whatever comes at them. What confuses me is how some of these "artists" made it to this high profile stage???
Uh, no. The comments are more than appropriate.
@@mandoist guy singing is one of the best talents of current era both lirycally and on conposition aspect. His lirycs ate truly poetry, should go watch by yourself. I agree this could have been done better but doesnt mean he is a bad artist lol
And you can see it on his face in the very last second ahah, the arrangent could have been better too. I think they had left him alone with that guitar would have been better
Let's be real clear in case there is any confusion over the comments. That cover was absolutely shite! You don't celebrate a legendary artists musical career with a second rate cover like that. It was an insult to Sting . . You could see the torture on the poor man's face!
First, you have to start from the fact that the umpteenth rendition of a song like this is just proof that Sting is already in Hell and he doesn't even know it. Second, give this guy a break. He does a clever job of it. Short and to the point. And, anybody who thinks the tallest man thing is literal needs to get a life. The orchestration is great.
Wow.. great orchestration.... Not really. And then tall boy here can't sing for shit!
That's like getting ready to make love to a beautiful stunning woman, pulling her panties off to find shit stains and herpes scabs.
You probably like modern art too!
"It's so artistic man!".... No it fucking sucks, but you've convinced your self it's good because it's outside the norm.
That's my grumpy old man rant for the day.
an angry midget is also short and to the point- doesn't mean its a good thing.
Wonderful.
Stings main thought about this performance.
"I can easily say... I never performed this song this badly. Not once."
The performance is not the issue. The singer is flawless, this arrangement of the song just can't be salvaged even with someone as talented as The Tallest Man on Earth.
@@druid5023 this dude is pitchy as hell. Your version of flawless and mine are totally different bud.
To be fair I have never heard of this dude before.
To be honest I really don't care to hear anything else from him.
And unless he is The Tallest Man on Earth... that name just falls quite short.
Not even clever.
But we all have our musical opinions.
Sting probably liked it for all I know. 😼
Sting is thinking *WTF*
