I thought I'd add my feelings about Sting's 'Fragile' performance - I thought it was the best, most emotional performance I have ever heard of that song, but I do agree that that song is getting a trifle old. There are some songs I'll never tire of 'Every Breath You Take', 'Wrapped Around Your Finger', but that one's getting' flat! What I wish is that I could somehow ask Sting to write a 'ballad of 9/11'. Wouldn't that be great?

You're absolutely right, Panda. We think he's being redundant because we are tuned into him and what he does, but for millions of others, seeing Fragile at the Olympics may have been the first time they've ever seen him perform that. I know it was for my parents and they were quite impressed **only 21 years after I've been telling them he's a musical genius, and not hard on the eyes either ; ) ** It's funny how so many people think he wrote that song just for 9/11. Where have they been? It's great that it applies to so many situations, but I don't want it to be like that awful (in my opinion) Freedom song by Paul McCartney. That song makes my skin crawl! (sorry Marilyn)! take care, Michelle In a message dated 2/12/02 10:16:21 AM, panda(a)karme.com writes: >Because I want to see Sting.

Hi Panda & hi All !! The North French 'Lens' area strikes again... Nice to see that the discussion takes the good & productive direction ! "Fragile" could be replaced by a real powered anthem that would suit to any 'normal' people + also to 'die-hard' fans, looking for a real new Sting's behaviour... Why don't try songs such as : - "Everyday's Just The Same" (from 'Last Exit') as it's really what now everyone feels when Sting is on Tv... - "King of Pain" as the man seems to enjoy a lot holding on his own & exclusive name the banner of the destroyed nation... - "Demolition Man" as this one reflects perfectly the feelings that result now from every Sting's performance... - "Don't Stand So Close To me" as the Sting's Trademark 'TM' is now linked to any tragic event that we should avoid.... :-) No, I'm just kidding.. In fact, to be less sarcastic, I would say that a song full of hidden emotions, strong passion would be perfect... I vote for "End of The Game" (my favourite track so far !) or "Be Still My Beating Heart".....

Hi all from France !!! Ok, "Fragile" is a nice song... (or was...). That sounded great back in the late 80's years but now it sounds really boring, especially as 99% of the planet already heard it in diff. fields ! This track covered so many situations in so many years that now the initial spirit of the song has gone away.. The way it turns make the Sting's strategy going the ridiculous way... Initialy used for the Nicaragua cause, it was also a tribute song to the Rainforest destruction, to Freddy Mercury's and sepecial friends death, to some Nobel's prize awards, to the (tragic) Twin Towers events, and now to the Olympic Ceremony (wich means THE song for peace).... He should now use it when his dog will die and everyone will be happy telling that the version is personnal and that it's so deeply emotional ! Where the hell are we going mates ? Since 1991, the song is played at EACH concert, every night ! We're all fans in a way but eating the same thing again and again, made the meal really digusting ! This is really ridiculous, especially when each time the same message is taken as a whole banner to defend global diseases, and bad things that can happen in the world... To some people (non Sting's fan), Sting's is going the bad marketing way without any good reasons and, you know, I can't blame them at all... Monday on my mind...

Olympic Ceremony lip synch.
by frotri＠panafonet.gr 12 Feb '02

12 Feb '02

I have to agree with Sebastien, the show (the music i mean) was not at all that good, and it was, regarding the audio quality, also one of the worst I have ever seen (but I believe the TV sound engineers are to be blamed here) with echoes all over the songs and then that ridiculous lip synchronization by Sting, that earphone didn't help him a lot I believe. We already mentioned on StingUs that pre-recordings were made about two weeks ago, but that it was the fully 100% of the song ... that we couldn't believe to be true ... now we do however. I was quite annoyed already knowing he was to play Fragile for the 123.1235th time, but this performance was utterly bad and poorly arranged, shame on you Mr Sting. The skating performances however were great, and that made my evening ... Karel _

Hi all, at the Olympics, he should have played "Love is the seventh wave", which contains the "right message" and would have been a real surprise. He'd better "save" Fragile for real tragic events, like sept. 11 2001. But it certainly has a quality that makes the song apply to all kinds of situations. Just my 2 cents. Maartje PS Oh boy, I hope his dog doesn't die before feb. 20.. >From: Sebastien.Renaut(a)pasdecalais-habitat.fr >To: Police(a)xmission.com >Subject: [Police] RÃ©f. : Re: [Police] Olympic Ceremony >Date: Mon, 11 Feb 2002 16:08:14 +0100 > > >Hi all from France !!! >Ok, "Fragile" is a nice song...
