Yes it's really Mika but it was mixed by someone else. And yes the Police version is better.

 

I think that is the case with all iconic songs/bands though and I don't think anyone should cover them. Only other iconic singers can get away with it (Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love You for example).

This the one from the R1 40th anniversary album, with Armand Van Helden systematically destroying a classic song, and Mikas vocals to boot!

Mika should have been let do this on his own, and not have Armand trouncing all over it. I like Armands music normally, but what the heck he was doing here, god only knows!

Yes me too. I'm a big fan of all that 90s dance music and would have expected more from him.
