....the reason I cried with Rihanna's version is her ability to capture the pain, sorrow, grief and yearning/crying out for comfort and need for healing during a loss ...u freaking nailed it 🔥❤️💔🤯
As someone who lost both parents unexpectedly within four months of each other in 2021 (and I was 34, they were both early 60’s so definitely too soon), you nailed my thoughts on Rihanna’s version exactly.
This song is not about coming close to the voice of Rhianna. It's a song in honor of Chadwick Boseman and his life legacy. It's not a song about competition the reason why others singers are singing it. They are singing this song becasue it touched their heart or even a tribute to others people in their life. It touched my heart because it's so a beautiful and emotional song. Great job Rhianna! No one will have a voice exactly like Rhianna unique voice. But hats off to them and they also did a great job. 🙏 💕🙏 Sincerely, Janniegirl

This is absolutely fantastic! Thanks for this cover I'm most definitely downloading it on all platforms. I need yall in my life! I love Rihanna but damn.
Lost my dad 8/19/21, lost my mom 12/17/21. Both sudden and unexpected. I was 34 at the time and close with both of them regardless of the distance between us. This song, any version, but this one and Rihanna’s OG version, trigger the tears the tears right away. Truly, my pain, grief, anger, depression etc etc etc is in this song and I’m so grateful for Rihanna bringing it to life and so many, like you all, giving it life too.
I gotta be honest, the first time I heard this song, I thought it was too repetitive and boring. However, when I listen to this song now, I find it so calm and relaxing, especially when you sing it. Good job! Your singing made this song to be my favourite one😁
