Is Sting a bad person?

I recently watched a TED TALK by Sting on YouTube and thought he came across as a bit pretentious and condescending about his birthplace and upbringing. He also used stories about this place for his musical. Someone said it was predatory. I also didn't like how he sang, he sounded unnatural to me.

I also read that he used to change his accent on purpose when he sang 'ethnic' songs. I have never cared to notice this before... but then I also found out about how he likes to exploit controversial subjects for his lyrics... he makes entire concerts about it!

I don't know what to think. You can read on Wikipedia that he didn't attend his parent's funerals... Did he hate them? Judging from the songs used in the musical, it seems that he was not in good terms with his dad when he left home.

I'm confused and somewhat disappointed about all this. What do you guys think? Is he a bad person or are all of these things pretty normal?

(I need some opinions, not just from fans. Any insight on his life would be greatly appreciated).
