Nobody’s opinion is wrong on this, but I feel like Gary Jules captured the intent of the lyrics that Tears for Fears wrote. After listening to all of the options, I’m going Jules, TfF, Harakari, and the rest can kind of just fuck off
With my apologies for being overly confident, I do firmly believe that the rendition which is meant to win this “contest” is that by Post Modern Jukebox, featuring the vocal stylings of a certain very tall clown and a certain somewhat petite yet positively spectacular vocalist.

I’ve seen the clown in a few different PMJ videos, if you have the chance to see PMJ live GO, they have a rotating lineup of singers and musicians that are first rate. Both times I’ve seen them it was a wonderful evening.
The sad clown with the golden voice is known as “Puddles Pity Party.” The woman with the remarkable voice is Haley Reinhardt. This rendition of the song is a true treat!

My wife recognized the clown from America’s Got Talent. I bought tickets to the PMJ show in Cleveland next month, looking forward to it!

You are so right… Haley Elizabeth Reinhart is an American singer, songwriter and voice actress from Wheeling, Illinois, a suburb of Chicago. She first rose to prominence after placing third in the tenth season of American Idol. In July 2011, Reinhart signed a recording deal with Interscope Records.
@chipgreen Odd intersection of things I liked and didn’t like…

Best version is Gary Jules’ experienced while watching Donnie Darko.

Check it for yourself; you’ll see.

Impressive!

Agree this is great, love the girl! I know I have seen the clown sing before?

That’s where I saw him! My wife also watches that show. Sounds like a good time!
@jner
I’ve seen Puddles perform a couple times in Santa Cruz. Great show. Worth going if he tours near you.
@chipgreen @jner @rc70 @ScottW58 wasn’t the other singer on American Idol some years back? She sure looks familiar.
