Jonathan Rose On the original on , he actually sings the first verse in that same octave and doesn’t go to the next octave up until the 2nd verse. This is also the same key as the original. But to your point, I saw him live last summer and he’s definitely not getting those “Sting” notes like he used to. But at this point, he doesn’t really have to anymore. Peace!

There's just as much vocal talent to be found in younger generations too. Only, back then the big talents used to be in popular mainstream acts such as The Police, whereas nowadays most people choose to listen to talentless vocalists on records where the vocals have more to do with the computer on which it was produced, rather than the singers. The reasons elude me, but oh well.

I can watch this over and over.
