    Robert Downey Jr. sings with Sting...not too shabby



    It must suck to go through life that damn talented. I remember now him singing on Ally McBeal but didn't know that he could pull it off live.

    I saw this last weekend. He really did a great job on it. Sounds a lot like Sting on it as well.

    Downey is impressive indeed! He sang live during the opening of the SNL he hosted a few years ago and blew me away then.

    This is one talented mofo, and I'm very glad he cast away his demons.

    I saw him several years ago on some talk show singing "Reeling in the Years" and was reasonably (but not very) impressed. That is not an easy song to sing.

    in fact, here it is:



    This version is a bit lame, though.

    When he was cast as Charlie Chaplin in the biographical movie "Chaplin", his performance in that movie was nothing short of amazing. All star cast with a ton of cameos in the film including Dan Ackroyd and David Duchovney (from The X Files). The film came out in 1992 and was directed by Richard Attenbourough (famous for playing John Hammond in Jurassic Park)

    On the soundtrack was this tune, called Smile:

    He needed to come in in the Iron Man suit...

    Reelin was better Fagan live... those harmonies on the Chorus are almost too hard for anyone to replicate live (tried for years and they always failed) Great tune!
