One YouTube viewer commented, “Wow! Sting can’t hit the notes. Painful. Just painful to hear. And neither can Billy. This is one terribly difficult song to sing. They might have been wise to key down another whole step or leave this one behind.”

Another added, “Fantastic! Great connection between Sting and Billy. Am sure wrote this back in 1986 with Sting in mind to sing.”

This unforgettable moment solidified Billy Joel’s comeback and showcased the enduring appeal of both artists to their fans in the United States.
