I favor this version
If you want my feedback (maybe yes?)
I think the version you favor has a mellow and or beautiful sound to it.
IF I had heard hers ONLY I would surely say : "I really like this"....but if I personally had to choose one version over the other, I prefer the faster tempo of the original version. Sting still wins it for me. Yet I can very much see and respect your point of view.
Thanks for posting. Please continue to do so!
