so i love how she allows him to lead on his song and compliments him because she knows she has enormous power in her voice and she takes care not to overpower him. its absolutely perfect
Shes a true lady that shows respect and doesn't let fame change who she originally is (a genuine soul). While most get caught up in all the narcissistic behavior that's so cringeworthy, they wonder why no one likes them.smh!!! With all that said, Imo, he's got the best male vocals I've heard in a long time and just about every song is a hit! He too, has a powerhouse voice and is so unique from other male singers, that, that alone won't stop him from catapulting further and further into one of the best male vocalist of this era! Btw, fun fact....The late Tom Petty's former agents/ songwriters tried to sue Sam Smith over this particular song bc the melody is a slower version of,'Wont back down" a very popular song by Petty in the late 80's, but Sam had no idea and was so upset that he didn't mind paying for an honest mistake. But, the judge was a good guy apparently bc I guess he saw the genuine shock/innocence in Sam being clueless to it. Truthfully, I would've never known myself if I didn't hear about it on You Tube. Poor guy and Tom Petty has been gone for a while now, so its so ridiculous how people will stop at nothing to rob you.smh
Oh she makes him work just a little bit harder! A real partner makes everything you do just that much better. Perfect duet , I keep coming back ... always one of my favorites.
Mary is so classy and professional. She let him shine because she seems like she understood by the way he was looking at her that he really wanted her approval and had so much respect for her. Beautiful performance.
I'm not an emotional guy, but half of his songs have me in tears. WHAT ARE THESE FEELS SAM SMITH?! And Mary J. Blige singing duet? yeah, that's just icing on the cake.
+i2Shea ain't no shame in a man crying shea, I don't cry myself, last time I did death in the family my only nephew at that time & I'm the type that doesn't cry for anything evn death but this song like u did it for me too
"Stay With Me" was currently my favorite song and Mary J. Blige has always been a favorite of mine. Words can't express how beautiful these two voices are together. I'm glad they are friends and decided to do this for us all to enjoy. Give them a Grammy already!
This collaboration....BANANAS!!!!! I get choked up when I hear it. Sam's voice is beautiful & soulful THEN you add in my girl Mary, with her swag, and her classic Mary sound. Her voice is so rich, and strong....HOME RUN!!!
Wow, what a beautiful collaboration. Their voices go really well together. They are two different types of ballad singers, but they both have such beautiful, gifted, complementary voices. This was a treat for my ears.
Will you please come back to me please promise I won't get pissed again please come back to me please promise u I will never hurt you because I love you so much please don't runaway
Please come back to me please promise u that I will never hurt you again if u come back to me please I love you so much please don't leave me I want you so much please don't leave me u have been with me for so long I can't loose you now and I won't give you up I would follow you to the end of the world I will not quit u no I won't u r stuck with me weather u like it or not I promise u this please don't be mad at me because I love you fucking much I cant live with out u stay with me and we can make this happen
I'm a vocalist and this is one of the technical simple songs to sing but it's not one everyone can pull off. It's so emotional it's like Unchained Melody. Love it ❤️
They've both experienced so much heartache...they sing from an authentic place within that resonates. Even if you've never had your heart broken, this right here makes you feel as though you've been there. That's real talent. Beautiful duet.
1) Everytime i hear this i think of "Won't Back down" 2) Mary Slayeddddd this song! It wasn't her place to try to outshine Sam as you can see her just marveling at his greatness and letting him have his moment!
He was at his perfect weight here; healthy. Love the innocence on his smile back then. He seems so jaded by the music industry and surrounded by fake people.
+Devestation135 You should hear the version of the woman on The Voice last year. To me, it was the best version because I felt as if she meant every word! She also made it her own. This is simply my opinion!
Its 2022 and I'm still loving this song...takes me back when my wife and i were still students powering through our honours degrees. We were best friends and lovers watching "Suits" together and jamming to this track
For me this is a beautiful collaboration between two separate and distinct styles and races. Sam Smith's angelic Brittish choir-esque style and Mary J. Blige's deep and soulful approach, reminiscent of the amazing American gospel worship songs. Overall this has a very heart warming but melancholy tone and really does make me think of worship songs from both sides of the pond. I myself am not religious but the passion, soul and power of this combination is something I'd like to hear a lot more of. Maybe some will disagree with my connection to Gospel and Worship songs, it's more really the style rather than the content. Anyway, however you see it this is an awesome thing.
I guess a bunch of us old kids love love Teddy. I had the sunroof open blasting Lose Control. A group of "the fellas" you always see at small corner stores whipped around with huge smiles and thumbs up signs. This 64 year old woman had the best day with Teddy. Love you!❤
Love Mary J so much - her voice reaches the perimeter of my soul - this reminds me of her duet with bono in Germany for "One Love" - which kicks me in my gut every time She know who she is shares herself through her voice. Thank you, Jesus, for Mary J and her music!
Sam Smith is so handsome to me.. he has this refined look that is so unbelievably cute.. plus his voice is so amazing i could listen to him all day.. Really beautiful song
Rachelle Blan actually he said he was gay personally out of his own mouth.. google it i think there are interveiws in magazines that he did where he said he already came out to his family and that he has OCD
MJB held back and was vibing, we don't see a lot of that from artists now a days always trying to dominate and out do the original artists on their own track
I watched him doing an interview and he told the person conducting it that he could not believe it when he was told that after she heard him sing it that she wanted to sing it with him....and as you all can see that is exactly what Mary did. I just love to hear them sing it together, what collaboration! They are both just awesome performers.
@@roseanndiaz3216 Yeah that's right. Wow you are just like an angel from the sky living in this Earth ❤️🙏. Because I haven't seen or had this kind of words of wisdom comment before?
Marlon M I lol behind it because it's your opinion that you think mary is better than him, I like mary j blidge alot especially as an artist, but in my opinion, I believe he is better and any way, I respect your opinion as well. :)
you guys have no idea what your talking about the point is not how Mary J. Blige sounds its the fact that she gave the song a new and more meaningful sound
This is the performance that I remember how I fell in love with him. This duet is beautiful. Made me cry. Love you, Sam and Mary. Can't wait for Monday. He's coming to Miami!!!!
Does either one of these people realize how precious beautiful and handsome they are.....then add those unique voices and I almost float to the ceiling from the lovely resonance...and I love you Ms Mary...always have...you picked a handsome tall partner to sing with...turned out great.....
Guess it's true, I'm not good at a one-night stand But I still need love 'cause I'm just a man These nights never seem to go to plan I don't want you to leave, will you hold my hand? Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Why am I so emotional? No it's not a good look, gain some self control And deep down I know this never works But you can lay with me so it doesn't hurt Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love it's clear to see But darling, stay with me Oh, won't you stay with me? 'Cause you're all I need This ain't love it's clear to see But darling, stay with me
Honestly no they did not, her peice of the song in the beginning was over exaggerated and took away from the song. The ending was good, but her parts before there were not. (But thats just my opinion)
My darling Nyles, stay strong and when life throws you a curve ball, hit it back with ALL your determination, right out of the ballpark, and then bask in the glory of your deserved HOME RUN!! Be well my friend!
Such a beautiful song! I even spent some time to learn this on piano and just shared it on my youtube if you wanna hear it, really love this one, especially this version :)
tony oliver What a trip, lolz talk about ironic! I JUST made the following comment on one of his other videos, "The first thought that crossed my mind from the I saw & listened to Sam Smith perform was...He TOTALLY reminds me of a modern day Boy George!!! He could pass as his son or nephew EASILY" ;-)
Because of the economy and companies moving states I now work out of state. Everytime my husband drops me off at the airport..this song pops in my head. Thank you honey for always holding down the fort.
