Lavrans, the Voice Norway, takes this song to a higher level. Beautiful song.
I love voice Norway. They have the best female singers. Kids too
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?
La meilleur version au monde et oui vous avez raison omg wouahhhh phénomènal 😱💖👍👏
2024 here 😄
He murders this song. Perfection.
Murdered??
He killed it !!!
Beautiful voice ☺️
He wrote it
Organicis Theway
Was thinking the same does not happen often some voice 👍
Sing you ?
His voice is like gold
In 30 years to come, this song will still be on my playlist. 🙌
Hey
This is one of the beautiful songs that mankind have created!
I NEED this version of Mikky singing it. He sings this and speaks directly to my soul!
He has the most beautiful voice! Wish he would do more solo projects.
I love that Rihanna begged him to be featured on the song he wrote for Her. Amazing!! 5 years later and his voice still hits the heart 💝
I don't found a song live with both of them, it would be awesome
@@diegoriosmx606 they performed together live @ the Grammy's
she didn’t beg him lmfaooo rihanna doesn’t need to beg anyone to be on their song
Noah Thompson has the best version now
@@AMR31qlol you’re one of those fans
Two things…
- this deserves to have many millions more views
- this version needs to be on all streaming platforms
It’s better this way. Trust
@@VELVETEN Eh, Idk bout that. Workin in music myself, I always feel for the artists who aren’t heavily promoted by radio, labels, etc.
@@brenainnmacthomais I make music by myself. At first I wanted fame and a lot of numbers in order to back my "success" although finding a gem/song is more valuable to me now. If I'm the only one to hear it, that's enough. all the artists I love are dead and gone. All we have left is their records for history. I wonder if Mikky reads comments or even knows this live performance has been uploaded.
@@VELVETEN aaaaaa1aaàa1aàaaàaaaaaàaaàaaaa1aaaaa¹àaaaaaàaa¡!2
All along it was a fever
A cold sweat, hot headed believer
I threw my hands in the air, said, "Show me something"
He said, "If you dare, come a little closer"
'Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
It's not much of a life you're living
It's not just something you take, it's given
Round and around and around and around we go
Oh, now tell me now, tell me now, tell me now you know
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
And I want you to stay
Ooh, the reason I hold on
Ooh, 'cause I need this hole gone
Well, funny you're the broken one
But I'm the only one who needed saving
'Cause when you never see the light
It's hard to know which one of us is caving
Not really sure how to feel about it
Something in the way you move
Makes me feel like I can't live without you
It takes me all the way
I want you to stay
Stay
I want you to stay
Ooh
I will Stay listening to this song forever. It's beautiful.
Moi également j'ai les larmes et les frissons wow wouahhhh 👏👍💖😱
he's so freaking hot
Omg gorgeous 😍
I knew I wasn't the only one
Yes.
Mad that Mikky isn't a "huge" artist with a huge social media presence etc...he doesn't need it and respect to him for doing him these past few years. Saw him live in the UK a few years ago, he was warming up for OneRepublic...he was outstanding.
My favorite version
It’s criminal that this version only has 2.5M views and rihannas has over a billion
Oui vous avez raison cette version de l'auteur est sublime j'ai des frissons et larmes incroyable wow 😮😮😮❤
I guess that would tell you that the Rihanna version is more popular, and better 😉
@@aaronflanagan3339not really, the writer sings it better
I think many don't know this exists or that he wrote this. I just learned both right now
props to the sound mixer. everything is so well balanced
How are you doing 6 years later
oh my God, how beautiful
That vibrato, that run, that voice, those techniques, OMG
That run he does starting at 3:25 tho.... Freaking FLAWLESS!!! Mikky is the most underrated artist I know.
that one was on another level
Wow. This song hits hard. With or without Rihanna. Love both versions.
How he carried the lyrics carefully like a egg and deliver it with so much care. wow. no one can do it like Mikky, no cover as good. damn
Egg😒😒
haha funny analogy there?
I mean...Jared Leto did a pretty powerful version of this song.
"carried it like an egg"
Such a beautiful phrase for something precious 👍😃
its 2021 and why i just discover this beautiful song rn.
The Longest Ride trailer brought me here! Amazing Mikky Ekko!
This song and his voice is perfection.
His side profile. HOLY HELL what a beautiful man
Gorgeous man.
I agree !🖤
And that's how I forget the original version existed.
I never listened the "other" version, and this is the only version I know. I'm a very blessed person, right?
La meilleure version OMG 😮❤
Music is a feeling
WHAT A GORGEOUS VOICE MAN.
I know!
I had a feeling this version was gonna rock my world, and I was right.
Gives me chills his voice
Moi également magnifique la perfection je l'écoute en boucle mon Dieu comme je l'aime charme fou et qu'elle voix 😱👍👏🙏💖
This version is by far the best. Rihanna has a beautiful voice and all, but this seems to have more passion and heart behind it. Absolutely beautiful!
Wonderful, exactly more passion and heart behind it
I love the duet with Rhianna and this solo version. In the duet, mikky’s voice is such a contrast to Rihanna’s, they compliment each other beautifully. However, to sing this song alone and to still do it amazing justice, just love 💕 this version 💕. Talent 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Verdade
Here in 2024 love this
His voice is soooooooo beautiful so is the song
Mikky’s voice hits deeper than Riri..
it heals.
Mikky’s hotness definitely peaked without his facial hair. I’m weak.
And might I add...
He did write this song...❤❤❤❤❤❤
This is THE most amazing track, unreal vocals and lyrics !!!!
He's got such a beautiful voice! Unique and moving.
Best version - ever!
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
Wow Mikky's vocals sound amazing!
Who is from August 2020? Smile and be happy!
Mikky is awesome!
OMGosh!! He’s hot! This is the best version of this song. The passion and the vulnerability behind the voice is absolutely perfect.
Listen to the version of Jared Leto
Love his voice and the song!!
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!
Oieee
Yeah, every once in a while an artist comes along that nails a hit into history and this guy is going down in the books with this beauty.
Lavrans Svensden's cover... amazing.
Those ooohs are beautiful
I just discovered this and WOW what a performance!
Me too! 😊
this is deep … pure talent I love his voice so much
beautiful voice beautiful song
I like this version best.
if you’ve listened to any of mikky’s stuff you can see that this song has him written all over it. sure rihanna might have made it popular by singing it, but every time I hear this song my mind immediately goes to these vocals and his style. whatta man 💞💓💗💖💕
Most amazing mans voice I know of.
Please he is so good 😭🥺
Absolute Perfection from
Mikky
I felt this way once and now we have been together for almost 30 years. Love this song and this singer
He put the emotions in his face 😢
The part from 2:26 to 2:32 is just absolutely amazing!
Wow, Mikky Ekko's voice is fantastic. Sings this so beautifully. I love Rihanna's version but Mikky's is next level again. Enchanting!
Love that man's voice..
suddenly appear in my UA-cam Timeline ... what an awesome live vocal ♥️
I cant stop coming back to this videooooo🥺🥺😭♥️♥️
I'm totally blown away by his song ... omg !
Perfection.
Petra vs Vinko (The Voice Croatia) This version will not leave you indifferent. AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!
A great vocal talent. However, to have also co-written this song puts his talent at another level. Writing great songs ain't easy.
Lavrans Svendsen's version is, by far, the one I love best.
So happy to finally hear a clear and live solo version of this beautiful song by the original artist himself. I've been waiting since I first heard the duet version on the radio. So much raw emotion in his voice. Love it!
i prefer this version of him alone, she ruins literally the song
Thepomafame I agree with you!
@_ben_ mikky wrote it tho
@sky I think Rihanna didn't wrote a song until her last album so she didn't wrote this, Mikky and two other people wrote it
@sky Right..... and meanwhile, let's talk about facts.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stay_(Rihanna_song)
"Songwriter(s)
Mikky Ekko, Justin Parker, Elof Loelv"
Search the entire Internet, and the song fact sheets, and it says the same thing.
So, Mitchel isn't just believing what he wants to. He actually... checks. You should learn to do the same.
End of discussion.
this man is beautiful
Wow what a fantastic voice and songwriter. Great song!
I really really love this version. Deep.
I love he hair and voice
True artists never go wild 😢
Breathtaking song, sounds better today than it did back in the day

Not really sure how to feel about it

Thank you!
Perfect! Thank you!
Thank u so much!!
🙏
thanks a lot..⚘
'funny you're the broken one but i'm the only one who needed saving 'cause when you never see the light it's hard to know which one of us is caving'
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!
Incredible,, such an incredible voice, absolutely love this!
Kudos to Mikky Ekko for the way he sings this. Great vocals. ❤
this song was made for him and no one else wow
My heart aches every time I hear this song. So beautiful. Well done sir.
love it.. this man is very talented
Beautiful!!!!!! A TRUE FAN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
2022 will still stay❤️
Love his voice
Meravigliosa!!!!!!!!!!!! Non ho parole!!!!!!!!💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕💕...e lui, poi.......!!!!!!💖
Truly outstanding!
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.
That black and white. PERFECTION!
I love his hair! 💓💓
What an awesome performance. I love this sound.
This version is miles better 👏👏👏👏
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
I’m all about good “live” performances & this is definitely one of them!! 💯
Cупер, великолепно !!! Успехов в творчестве !!!!!!! 🙏🙏🙏
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.................
He really sound like this live! Amazing
This version is simply superior. It feels totally different, the emotion when the one who sing it is the one who wrote the song.
