1.0 out of 5 stars WHAT?, March 29, 2004

Sting, what have you done? Why must everyone keep re-mixing and re-making everything? It's pointless! ARRRRGGHHH! Okay. Enough of that. This used to be a classic. Now, its just some piece of crap that that idiot P. Diddy re-mixed. Seriously, has that guy ever come up with his own song? Please, vote yes on the keep P. Diddy away from music act. Save our music.

1.0 out of 5 stars P. Dudley Does It Again....Ooooooh Boy, July 6, 2003

Absolutely HORRID. There's one very important thing to understand here: Sting is a proper songwriter; P. Dudley is not.
He should never have touched this classic to begin with,as he can't come anywhere near Sting or his mastery of songcraft. Seems he wrecks anything he touches--just look what he did with Led Zeppelin's Kashmir. Hey,Dudley,a word of advice: you should only remix what you (think) you could do better,or at least just as good in another way. But for God's sake KEEP AWAY FROM THE CLASSICS!!! that's where your obvious lack of talent truly shines through. :}

1.0 out of 5 stars The worst..., January 9, 2005

And that be even worse than Sting in dueth with Craig David who ruined Shape Of My Heart with his pathetic Rise And Fall.

I find no good excuse as a big fan of Sting for him to allow this damage strike one of his most famous songs ever.

Puffy is awful, no matter if he's a good dresser. His biggest hit ever, I'll Be Missing You -his adaption of Every Breath You Take- first left me with that well-earned impression.

Stop messing up Stings' fantastic songs, even though he allows you, Puffy!!!
