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.

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. :}

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!!!

I'm glad Sting has gotten Puffy out of His System because Puffy in His Usual Way Wrecks up a Classic Song."Roxanne" is a Classic Jam by the Police but after P-Fluffy wrecks it it sounds like a Bad Lounge Song where you feel the Music just blurs at you without saying anything.stick to the Original Please.

What a mistake...and another let down from Puff Daddy...who also did a horrendous re-work of "Kashmir". Sting should be ashamed to have one of his best songs reduced to this shameful remix update. Brings the rest of the "best of.." album down...way down.

With this horrendous track, Sting verifies that he is no longer in the business of making music, but rather is in the business of making as much money as he can. This track is an all time low in the once brilliant songwriter's career and is a slap in the face to all Police fans. I would rather have Sting retire than ruin his past hits.

Sting and Puff Daddy together!! BAD IDEA!! Love your music Sting, but this sell out is wrong.

This song was licensed and made at the height of Sting's interest to see his catalogue of old songs used. What is so unfortunate for Police and Sting fans is that this song had no reworking or interpretation of the song Roxanne. Other than the song's name and a rare, original sampling of Sting singing the word "Roxanne," there is no resemblance to the original song. No fan considers this song worthy of being called Roxanne, much less being included as a part of their body of work.

If you're a Puffy Daddy/P. Diddy fan, buy this...I guess. If you're a Sting fan, please don't.

Every artist goes through periods of exploration, and, while I am not an R&B fan, I have to respect the guts it takes for a great musician like Sting to explore new venues of creation. He is an amazingly talented musician, and should be respected for his decision.
