Butchered Or "interpreted" ? Thoughts? Options

[Todd Simpson]

check out this cover of an old tune by the Police. It does involve a good sized orchestra and good quality back up vocals. But some folks thing the guy is just butchering a classic tune. The audience is packed with awkward looks for sure. Sting seems a bit like he might want to puke. It doesn't sound much like the original, but it does sound like the guy doing the cover. What do you guys think? is it good? is he wrecking it?
