Playing live on the BBC Radio 2 Zoe Ball Breakfast Show, Tom Odell gets everyone singing along in the studio with his cover of Paul Simon's 'You Can Call Me Al', accompanied by this week's guest Sting!

Bassist was killing it, but everything was kinda creatively not right. And I think Sting’s face expressions show what he thinks

[johnmobley]

he’s singing like he’s never read the lyrics before

[crazywotsit]

Wow absolutely murdered it. Sting knows 😂😂😂

[hartleyjr]

Sting's face is so: "WTAF am I doing here?"

[edwinjamespope]

Like ordering an omelette in a cafe & it comes with glass in it instead of egg. Sting knows it's a car crash.

[sidb]

Wow WTF was that! Sting looked embarrassed.

[elusive]

OK well everyone is in agreement. We'll just forget this happened.

[royleonard]

Sounds like a lamb calling its mum!!😂😂

[carolholmes]

Loved Sting to been given the lead vocal on at least one verse!

[CarlAvoryMusic]

This guys voice goes from bad to worse. Not great when ya plonked 3 feet from one of the greatest voices on earth LOL!

Hear this played the other day on the wireless, I couldn't believe how bad it was, sounds like they just took someone off the street and got them to sing.

Tom odell is the best singer and song writer.I hope people watch his live this year with his band playing here.The are the best. 2019 is the time his anxiety and panic attacks were the worst.
The man looks fine but doesn't always mean he actually is. We've all been there.

[Dannycarry]

Absolutely DREADFUL and Sting sitting there thinking get me the f outta here quick

[brynnmeade]

Well that was...something.
Love this 💕
Greetings from Poland!
Legendary.

[hunterhunt]

must have sounded better in his head when he planned this.
Seems he didn’t know the original song except for the chorus. Constant reading the lyrics. Reading Sting’s face he is thinking “what the hell did I got myself into”. He even stops playing one time. Seems he is looking around for the nearest exit. What a lame cover and way out of tune !!!
Pollution to my ears !!! Ulghhh

[TobyLerone-ynrr]

I'm all for putting your own spin on a song and not being Karaoke but this is just bad, very impressive musicians but thats a terrible song choice for him IMO

[arfstw]

Dreadful - do the decent thing, move over and let Sting do it. He can actually sing
