Sting... Really!?

[Terry]

better him then Trump

You are correct Trump can't sing worth a darn. Please don't misunderstand this, William Shatner is one of my hero's he has survived longer than most actors in Hollywood and has turned tragedy into opportunity more times than I can count.

This would be the entire halftime show.

 

Brilliant!

Monster Truck!!!!

Yes, a great band and group of people but wrong venue and they are die-hard hockey fans and players. Danko Jones is a happy mix of styles of music and would kill it at a weekend like this. I said The Trews as they are Canada's biggest touring band for the past few years and that's why I said them first. And they filmed the on video outside out old office, lol

This seems like a phony choice and the "real" "surprise" artist will come out and blow the roof off the joint. No mandolins or lutes in sight.

Karma for having Kanye West perform at the pan am games

[Bass Tard]

HAHA, I was complaining about this to my wife, and she goes "didn't he just die?!"..

Definitely weird for an NBA ASG, I would really like to have seen the weekend play, guys got skills.

No-one else here realizes he is one hell of a musician and entertainer?

Only those of us who have a pulse! His music, solo work, is akin to watching paint dry or grass grow. His work with the Police was over shadowed by both Andy and Stuart, the real talent in that band!

One can never argue about taste. My opinion is different than yours, HH just leave it at that.

[fishing n autograph]

Yes but the generation that thinks the NBA is real basketball thinks hip hop is real music and won't want to listen to a great musician and song writer like sting

[Headhunter]

It's all a ploy to get folks to the concession stands and buying beer during half time!

HH

[manitoubass2]

Sting is talented for sure, imo its just a silly choice for the target demographic.

 

And FNA, hip hop is/has been great music for along time! Dont confuse it with rap

[12 Volt Man]

Gordon Lightfoot would have been a much better choice.

 

and Toronto loves him. Canadian to boot.

[Headhunter]

I guess than that Perry Como is not alive anymore?

HH

[SirCranksalot]

Tony Bennet would be a good choice too!

[fish_fishburn]

I would bet money he doesn't disappoint.

OK I'll rise to the bait, I understand you are a musician and quite a good one I hear, however, I have shared the stage with : The three tenors, The Nylons, Eugene Levey, Liona Boyd, sung for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth, and participated in the world premier of a work by Goresky to name a few of my musical accomplishments. (I have the signed programs to prove this as well.)

I say this to give weight to my opinion of Stings artistry.

Don't ask because I won't tell. These are over a beer at the pub stories not published on the internet stories.

[Headhunter]

I guess I'll clarify my point. If you have ever been to a Raptors game, you would know that the building is a bee hive of energy. From the constant playing of up-beat music, to the interaction with the fans, the NBA is a fast paced form of entertainment. This is why I have made the comments that I have.

Sting is not a high energy, fast paced performer. His solo work is considered among the high brow community to be rock n roll, but in reality, he's the Perry Como of "modern music. i just don't feel that he is in any way a fit for this gig.

Sorry if I have hurt any feelings.

Why because I think hip hop is garbage? Or because the NBA isn't the greatest basketball?

 

My opinion is as good as anyone else's.

Of course it is!

 

But me thinks you might be confusing hip hop and rap???

 

Hip hop(even if its not your cup o tea) is highly skillful.

 

A good DJ(a real dj, not that dood that has a playlist at a club) is insanely talented.

 

And the artists are brilliant with wordplay and storytelling.

 

Rap is like " yeah g stacks and stacks of cash/enough to smack your b... a.../

 

With ghost writers and computerized beats etc

 

I dont listen to much country, but I sure can respect the skill.

 

Anyhow the correct answer is the travelling wilburies?

Doesn't that Drake guy have season's tickets? Should have just offered him to walk over from his seat and perform cause he's already there so MLSE would have spent less. Cause he paid for his tickets!
