He wrote the most beautiful song and performed an amazing version of it too.

no shade to anyone, but it's really different when the person singing is the one who wrote the song, isn't it?

So, Mitchel isn't just believing what he wants to. He actually... checks. You should learn to do the same. End of discussion.

True artists never go wild 😢

This version is simply superior. It feels totally different, the emotion when the one who sing it is the one who wrote the song.

Wow. This song hits hard. With or without Rihanna. Love both versions.

A good dramatic song of American deep south's talented voice from this young man.

i always thank God for singers that go through so much dedication, sometimes losing themselves to give us a moment of joy and ecstasy! Thank you Lord for allowing such beautiful voices on earth for us to hear and giving them the power to stay afloat amidst so much highs and lows

Mikky’s hotness definitely peaked without his facial hair. I’m weak.

Sing it, Mikki! Both versions are extraordinary! Rihanna's version has the sound and feel of a woman looking for a way to make sense of herself and her deep desire for a lover who challenges her every sensibility. I sense that Mikki sings this song from the spirit of his inner Yin! He is deeply in touch with his own yin! Open and vulnerable!

Love that man's voice..

I will forever envy those who listend to this live.

I really really love this version. Deep.

Always amazes me The generosity and unselfishness it takes to give a song like this to another artist. Sure you made a lot of money either way but how do you performed it himself and recorded it he would’ve been a superstar it took a lot of grace to give it to someone else to make a hit

Omg, i don't know this version exist 😭❤️

I cant stop coming back to this videooooo🥺🥺😭♥️♥️

The part from 2:26 to 2:32 is just absolutely amazing!

the crowd is completely silent the whole time, thats awesome

That black and white. PERFECTION!

Perfection.

I only heard of Ri's version w/ Mikky Ekko. After hearing this, this is definitely better! There's just that genuine emotion being conveyed and that grit! Damn!

Wow Mikky's vocals sound amazing!

Oh my god is this guy talented.. wow.

2022 will still stay❤️

Most amazing mans voice I know of.

Wow what a fantastic voice and songwriter. Great song!

A great vocal talent. However, to have also co-written this song puts his talent at another level. Writing great songs ain't easy.

Piękna barwa!! Wow!! 🥰❣️Wykonanie na poziomie SERCA!!❣️

beautiful voice beautiful song

He wrote it, and so I doubt he changed his phrasing to match her recording of his song ... which mean Rihanna must have learned *his* phrasing incredibly well. She must have respected his demo so much that despite what an incredible artist she is, she kept it almost exactly the same for vocal runs. This speaks volumes to the level of talent on both sides.

His has an angelic voice. He's so heavenly to me.

this is deep … pure talent I love his voice so much

The song ends. But he doesn't want it to end. Because it's an expression, not a song. ♥️

My heart aches every time I hear this song. So beautiful. Well done sir.

I was taking a nap and the strokes of the piano woke me up, the rest is history in my appreciation of a great song.
