Every Breathe You Take / I'll Be Missing You
I like the original version, but the puff daddy version rap has too much feel for him not to get my vote in this.

Comments about Every Breathe You Take / I'll Be Missing You:
"Borrowed a bit" Heehee, I think "stole the melody" is more accurate. As I understand it, Pdiddy or whatever he is calling himself nowadays (does nobody learn from Prince?) used wholesale illegal sampling and built his song on it.

Just another rap artist??? Ripping off a sample from a great song.

the original one still has something that haunts you from the very beginning.puff daddy also made a remarkable one but too much rap is not good for the melody at the end

These are not even the same song. There shouldn't even be a vote between them. The only thing similar is the chorus. Puff Daddy just borrowed a little bit from The Police. and then made a lot of money out of it...

When a music artist has to resort to using other artists music, then is he or she even considered an artist? NO. Puff Daddy obviously stole this song from The Police, and just changed it up and slapped his name on it and made money off of it. He cant call himself a music artist.

These are the same songs, copyright infringement laws say they ARE the same song. He had to get permission form Sting to even do this. motifA and MotifB states that the song runs 4 bars of the same music it is the identical
