Idk why i was expecting some 8"11 dude to start playing Roxanne

[aheli]

Come on guys! That was a great interpretation by The Shortest Pants On Earth!

[paulmarsh]

So nice that they miniaturized him so that he could fit in the studio and perform...The wonders of science

[HumansFreshlyBorn]

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.

[roytheboy]

It was brilliantly executed, started off stripped back & then it built up so well...fantastic!

[bjorngot]

This is as brilliant as it possibly can be. TMOE is a genius.

[hunterjones]

Without the skinny jeans he normally sings baritone....

[KennyEvansUK]

This was banging, hairs went up excellent interpretation.

[caskul]

So different from the original and yet... so wonderful and unique. The orchestre, the interpretation of Kristian, giving it a whole new emotion ¡Bravo!

[flexor]

I've never seen a guitarist play on his "tippy toes". Now I can say I have..

[Liam]

I’ve been lied to. This man is average height.

[trustry]

I mean, you've got to have a lot of balls to play this in front of Sting himself

[rscelp]

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.

[artjacob]

I cry cheat, he's only the Tallest Man on Earth because he's standing tippy toe all the time !

[lisacarl]

People hate things they don't understand, scared and can only criticize things they don't understand..

[nunofernandes]

He's so tall that he can't find pants long enough to cover his ankles.

[susanhyland]

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

[msg]

Pinocchio would be proud of his puppet impression

[scott]

This reminds me of being sober, and watching a video of myself when I was shit faced. 😅

[mahbubellahi]

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.
