Sting told NBC's Mark Barger he was "a little nervous" about stepping in as a Mega Mentor.
"I was a school teacher, and there are some elements of that teaching phenomena in the show," he said. "I was a little nervous coming in because, you know, I don't really know what to say, but was enjoying giving a hint and then seeing it come into into fruition. Action, wow, it makes a big difference. That tiny little thing you say suddenly flowers, and that's exciting."

On what Sting says he listens for with the Artists, he said, "Resonance is a very good word. I want to hear true voices. I want to hear authentic voices, but I want to hear people singing in tune, because it hurts when they don't. And the quality of singing this morning [while filming Knockouts] was just extraordinary. So I was just giving hints about little technicalities that are very easily done. But it was, it was actually a wonderful experience."
