I like the fact that this one seems more catty. I also like that it is a bit slower and Mika isn't being overpowered, she actually compliments him very well and it feels like an actual duet.
I'm sorry but I have to say that this version is so much better than the other. It's like it's so much real than the other and the mix of their voices is just perfect.
They have different feels, the one with Ariana is a lot more upbeat, sounds more fitting as a teen pop anthem. This one is more explicit, more chill, stoner vibe almost lol. Theyre both good, just in different ways
Ugh this version is so much better than the one they made a video for. I think this girl's voice was better suited for the song and I like how it has less going on in the music. I mean I like the other one too, but there's just something about this one that I love. Oh, well. The video for the other version is super fun, though! :)
Oh god, no doubt that this is an awesome song!! :) Mika you did an amazing job with this album! Anyone who dares to say otherwise - I will find you -.-
I keep waiting for this to speed up.....and get more melodic.....spoiler alert it did not But like honestly! The first time I heard this I did not like it at all.... UNTIL the extra verse. That shit won me over. And since then I've listened more and more and I can honestly say I prefer this version now. Did NOT expect to lol, but the reason? This one's just more genuine. Much more genuine than the pop-ified and sanitized, radio friendly version he made with Ariana. I mean I loved that one but when you put them in comparison, it makes it stand out just how saccharine and slick the Ariana version is. However, the Ariana does have the better beat and is more melodic... Ugh my perfect version would be a combination of the two but I guess the universe just wants to deny me :(
The album version is much better. I think he has just made a video for this song in L.A. Love Mika but I think he is all over the place when it comes to releasing singles....makes videos either months before they get released or after then not always the same releases in different countries and he wonders why they're not charting !!
This one is better than the Ariana one. I feel like people just prefer whichever one they heard first though. Either way, great song. I just think this one has more of a melody and is less forced.
Priscilla sounds like Nicki Minaj... Am I the only one who thinks so? o: I like this version too, and I like Priscilla's voice. But I like the one with Ariana better, just because I feel like the way that version is sung fits the lyrics better.(:
Which is why this one sounds more interesting in my opinion. It's textured, has contrast and therefore works better in my opinion. The Ariana Grande accompaniment sounds too clean and traditional which goes against the themes of the song. I think this is the thematically superior version.

so the Ariana one's got star power, but this one is much more chill
I'm sorry but I have to say that this version is so much better than the other. It's like it's so much real than the other and the mix of their voices is just perfect.
I love Ariana and him singing this, but honestly this version is waaay better
Erika Sampson this sounds like an unfinished demo
They have different feels, the one with Ariana is a lot more upbeat, sounds more fitting as a teen pop anthem. This one is more explicit, more chill, stoner vibe almost lol. Theyre both good, just in different ways
I can understand the words better in this version....but the Arianna one just sounds better, and I love her voice ^.^
I finally found this version!
Ugh this version is so much better than the one they made a video for. I think this girl's voice was better suited for the song and I like how it has less going on in the music.

I love both versions! :D I wish they would do more songs together; they compliment each other's voices.
Just found out there was this version.... this version has grew on me quite considerably
I heard this song on the radio today for the first time. I immediately recognized the Wicked lyrics, I thought: No waaaaay!!!
Oh god, no doubt that this is an awesome song!! :)
Mika you did an amazing job with this album! Anyone who dares to say otherwise - I will find you -.-
I like both versions, they're both amazing.
His voice just MELTS ME!!! :D
Mika se débrouille trop bien au rap !!
Fantastica questa canzone!

But like honestly! The first time I heard this I did not like it at all.... UNTIL the extra verse. That shit won me over.

when i first heard Mika singing the Wicked part I was on the floor in the fetal position i'm not lying
the album one is so much better than the ariana grande one
I like both with Ariana or Priscilla :D
cause this is the original one,Ariana's version is the remix
I prefer this version than the more recent one, which is too fast
I like the one with ari more 👍
I keep coming back ‼️
trees bien
i like em both. shrug.
Personally I like more this version of the song
this is much better than the other ver.!
I love the version with Ariana but this version is SO MUCH better
Likeeee
This is waaaay better than the version with Ariana. Slower and cooler. ;)
i love too Kodes100 :)
Priscilla Renea
The album version is much better. I think he has just made a video for this song in L.A.
Love Mika but I think he is all over the place when it comes to releasing singles....makes videos either months before they get released or after then not always the same releases in different countries and he wonders why they're not charting !!
Her name is Auburn :)
omg
I'm an Arianator but I love MIKA therefore i won't dislike
She sings "Dollhouse".
Who is singing with him?
Why did he make another version??
This is the one they have on Spotify.
Thatonecuteperson MSP they have both! I love both of them!
This shit smacks
This one is better than the Ariana one. I feel like people just prefer whichever one they heard first though. Either way, great song. I just think this one has more of a melody and is less forced.
who is the girl ?
A Wicked fan by any chance? ;)
I don't think so. I heard the Ariana one first and heard it like a LOT of times then I heard this one and I preferred this one. Just my opinion thogh
*Cough cough* Mostpopulargirlsinschool *Cough cough*
That's because they use the tune of the popular song in Whicked in the chorus.....
Wow Big Block Sing Songs got real.
OKAY WHO IS THE WOMAN ON THIS TRACK I NEED TO KNOW
Priscilla Renea.
it's not a cover, it just samples the Wicked one.
3:20
Anybody else want him to cover the original O_O
Priscilla sounds like Nicki Minaj... Am I the only one who thinks so? o: I like this version too, and I like Priscilla's voice. But I like the one with Ariana better, just because I feel like the way that version is sung fits the lyrics better.(:
WICKED!
This one is much much much better than Ariana
this is based off the song popular from wicked
no you arent i think so too ^_^ and i also like the one with arianna better just cause they dont cause much lol
how come there is one unpopular version with ariana grande and one with someone else? x
mhhh reminds me of "Wicked the Musical" don't know why.... ;-)
I like this version better actually.. i dunno.. i just do..
it is like the same song from wicked.... did he do that fore a reason
No puedo creer que la mayoría no sepan que la letra es de Wicked 🤦🏻♀️
who is this one with
Kenzie Bunn Priscilla renea
who is the girl singing in this version ?
Priscilla Renea.
Thks, i prefer this one btw
WaveEye Als Yeah, the other one is really not that good ! ;)
I like both versions, but I think Ariana's voice blends better with Mika's.
Which is why this one sounds more interesting in my opinion. It's textured, has contrast and therefore works better in my opinion. The Ariana Grande accompaniment sounds too clean and traditional which goes against the themes of the song. I think this is the thematically superior version.
It was Sarcasm....
Only just came across this version, hmm I do prefer the one with Ariana.
i don't know, but i prefer the ariana's version.
