Why does everyone hate it so much?.......2005-12-24

I personally think this is a rather inspired and at worst, fun remix of Sting's song. For anyone reading this who hasn't heard it, it has been tailored for the 90s R&B/Rap audience who without noticing followed Puff Daddy's massive career throughout this era. The remix basically involves rap verses from Pras (from The Fugees) followed by a "chorus" by Sting singing the main parts of the original "Roxanne", accompanied by extremely "Contemporary R&B" strings. I personally really enjoyed this remix and think that people take it way too seriously in defending the original song. If you are a modern R&B fan (or like 90s R&B) you are likely to love this as I do. If you are to take any remix of a Police "classic" seriously to the point when someone can't remix it, please do not buy it! Hope this helps!

The worst..........2005-01-10

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!!!

WHAT?.......2004-03-30

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.

Sting fans shouldn't buy this.......2003-10-05

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

P. Dudley Does It Again....Ooooooh Boy.......2003-07-07

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. :}

Welcome to the Moon.......2003-03-27

Well guys, since the whole world knows that I am the biggest POLICE fan in the whole world and beyond, I know what I am talking about. So, this is something really unbelievable. This is how our three blond heads would play in 50 years from now. I must say I felt like I was on another planet listening to it. I hope you will abe able to find it. because it's worth it.
A big Hi to all Police brothers and sisters and ... let us still hope they will be together again. Hope is all what's left
