Really wanted to watch all of the segments, he's one of my all time favs, but you put too d*** many commercials in. If I really had all that time, I would have sat and watched the TV show.

Sting is a man at peace with himself and his world. His music is ageless and timeless, he seems free from drug scandal, creates four-letter word free music, does not walk around in Mr. T starter set jewellry or flout gun laws, takes care of those who work closest with him, seems to have a sense of value and gratitude, has an interest in spirituality and a clearly visibly calm demeanour. He worked hard for what he has and deserves all if we are the ones willing to pay for what he produces. Why begrudge him for being wealthy, I don't and tomorrow will be there in Cardiff when he sings because he is a great entertainer...

And keep complaining to Yahoo! about the commercials and boycott the products. The message will get through. Living abroad, this is the only way I get to see parts of 1-2 segments each week. I'm your target audience and you're upsetting me Yahoo!

I have been a fan of the Police since 1980 when I received Zenyatta Mondatta for my 15th birthday. I became very interested in Sting, specifically, in 1985 when he made the cover of Spin Magazine promoting The Dream of the Blue Turtles. I have always connected strongly with his music. I have seen him in concert many times and have watched him mellow dramatically over the years! There is so much to admire in him. I find it inspiring to see how much he has evolved through the years and that he is on a constant quest to learn and grow. I do not think he is arrogant, just on a different level intellectually than most, and very candid. Clips such as these give a glimpse into his personality and show a very down-to-earth side of him. I am glad I came across these -- although the ads do get to be a bit annoying.

I'm a working class woman, my life style couldn't be more different than Sting's, but I feel more common points whit him than with envious people like Navyservant.

Sting has shown diversity and I think that is one of his greatest moments that stand out for me. I watched him sing with the three tenors. It moved me beyond words. Sting also joined Brian Adams and Rod Stewart and that too, was an amazing event. I am sorry that I missed 60 minutes when this aired. I would really like them to rerun that segment again. 60 minutes are you getting the message!? New_Live10 shut up, your stupidity over rides the fact that you are also disgusting.

Too many commercials so I gave up watching. Sting is an arrogant ass... but he did get nice hairplugs don't you think? He was also recently voted one of the worst lyricists of all time. Very appropriate!
