Sting's original version uses some weird Hungarian alternating 4/5 rhythm. Bruce just took out the odd numbered beat to smooth it out. I think Sting actually started performing it that way on occasion as well.

In case ur wondering, Sting is clapping like that to increase the volume of each clap (not that it matters in a crowd of that size, but anyway.) Try it urself. If you clap with ur fingers spread apart and your palms flat and open like that, the decibel level of your clap is NOTICEABLY louder. It's akin to yelling Bravo! instead of just clapping. Gives it a little more oompf. Plain and simple.

It's imposible not to love and admire a guy like Sting. His work both in The Police and solist are simply LEGENDARY.

Sting has been through the worst. He is the best writer, so he wrote a movie to get rid of music block! He also began writing with Eric Clapton. Eric taught him about loss and Sting started Writing from inside. Every song teaches me something! Great comment!!! Sting is my favorite artist once he left The Police. Fragile we are.🎉

Love how Sting his wife is singing along with Bruno at 17:58

18:37 Bruno is absolutely killing at this point in the song. I love how it transitions from a super-chill reggae feel and explodes to a rockin' ending with the choir!

I'm not a Bruno Mars fan but he absolutely killed the performance on this tribute

I could listen to Bruno all day. Awesome voice. Awesome music by Sting. Classic.

Esperanza Spalding's vocal performance (aside from the excellent instrumentation, of course) is unbelievably beautiful yet warmly sensual. Herbie Hancock's piano playing is like raindrops on a windowsill. Just an enchanting experience, even in the midst of some very strong performances.

Only Sting can make such dreary topics sound upbeat and make listeners want to dance. I thank God every day for Sting's existence. Every little thing "he" does is magic.

It says everything you need to hear about your career when you have Lady Gaga, Esperanza Spalding, Herbie Hancock, Bruce Springsteen and Bruno Mars come out and play your tunes for you. Sting has crossed so any boundaries, a true connoisseur of the music of the world that the world itself has appreciated. A musicians musician. Despite all that, he can't clap for shit.

He may be clapping intentionally that way. That's the way they clap for example in Ethiopia, in Morocco, and in Spain (Flamenco). Probably some other countries as well. It is much louder and clearer if you hit it right. Important for the fast, intricate, and multi-layered clapping in their traditional misic. He's been studying world music so I'm sure he picked it up from somewhere.

One day I put Sting's songs on a CD and put in our family van. That's how my wife became a fan of him. Years later my daughter who is an young adult now told me that she raided my computer and downloaded all of my music collection. She told me of all the artist she loves and one of them is Sting. She treasures these songs as they remind her of all those good child memories when we traveled in our van and listen to and often sang-along to them. My daughter got good taste in music after all...

Your daughter will treasure the connection you share over his music for the rest of her life.
