I love how he changed " I just can't let you slip away" to " I just can't watch you DRIFT away". That's more creative, and it ties in with the rest of the lyrics.
They both are...I like Jaheim's soulful sounds, but this is nice....l hate when folks down an artist to make another one look good... So unnecessary...
Mi- thoughts both versions were good 4reel...Miguel wrote it & knew Jaheim version was strong,,commanding& soulful..but umm Miguel version was a lil softer,,smooth,,winn..winn situation just mi thoughts opinion 4reel 👌👍
Actually go to Wikipedia and it lists Jaheim,Miguel,and three other men that wrote this song.....Let’s try 2b Actual and Factual when placing info out’chea ✌🏽
Jahiem has so much more soul in his voice which makes this song come to life, I love Miguel and I might would have liked this if I had never heard Jahiem's version lol.
Wow the lyrics....blows my mind. We got lost, lines got crossed, Dim the light turn to static babe And then I jumped ship got caught up in the current, And it carried both of us away We were so much better when we were together, And I just can't watch you drift away.
If you listen to Jaheim's version you can hear Miguel in the background holding him down!! Miguel is so talented! He's going to be in the Front of R&B for like the next 20 years! He's a modern day Marvin\Curtis for this generation. Candles in the Sun on his new CD proves that! He's just getting started!
Miguel wrote a masterpiece. However, Miguel has a lighter tone (soprano) and Jaheim is more like alto, a deeper, heavier tone. They both did their thing, but I like Jaheim's better. But once again, Miguel wrote that song old school style. Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross, and Freddie Jackson could've made it a big hit, back in the day.
personally i think its a great song. I feel that allowing the fans of both artist to really hear the same song with different vocal strengths really gives us a treat on just how talented they are and lucky we are to have both these young men singing and sharing their talent with us . Thank you
I LOVE THIS SONG HE DID HIS THING ON THIS jAHEIM KILLED IT TOO MIGEL BEEN ON THE SCENE FOR AWHILE WELL BEHIND THE SCENES I SHULD SAY.. AND I THINK CAME OUT AT THE RIGHT TIME TO THE WORLD HIS SKILLS NOT ONLY AS AN WRITER BUT AN ARTIST ALSO
it took me a while to remember this wasnt the original version. then the chorus came in and my mind was like BLAMMOOO. thats the sound of my mind being blown. both versions are pretty great
yea man i just listened to that Candles in the Sun. and when he said," The bridges we burn only light the way" i was like hold up hold up this fella here!?!?!? Hes the truth.lol
Naw bro Miguel is actually my Favorite artist but there’s a reason he gave it to Jaheim ...Jaheim voice has a certain raspiness that the song needed ....No doubt Miguel the Goat lol but Jaheim voice was perfect for this song
Love this song glad Miguel decided to give it to Jaheim though suits him better and some folks need to read credits then they would know he was nominated for a songwriting Grammy for this same song that people in here claiming he didn't write smdh
Wow. He wrote this ? I really like the vibe to this.. It sounds kinda old-school to me (: i like that that's pretty unique for todays mainstream singer & Miguel's voice is incomparable to anyone elses. Js (;
i really don't know how anyone can say this version is better than jaheim i love me some miguel he's so talented but jaheim had more strength in his voice it made it sound more passionate.
Ok he wrote the whole song people it was song he wrote and Jaheims management heard it and liked it for him . Jaheim heard the record and it fitted his album project hence why Miguel can cover the damn song cause he wrote the whole song
I love Miguel but when it comes this song it sounds like he "trying to sing" and Jahiem sounds like he "sanngging"! Lol this didn't move me in any way, shape, or form but Jahiem's version makes me wanna cry...
this song is old school miguel did not write this song at all. miguel and jaheim are great artist in there own right. no one is better than the other. they both have their share od talents. and they both did amazing jobs with this song. jaheim matched the original artist vocally.
He already lost his way. :/ I wish he would go back to this kind of music. I mean, as soon as it got to "Quickie". Things seriously changed. I just hope he doesn't lose his soul music qualities. Haha.
I love how he changed " I just can't let you slip away" to " I just can't watch you DRIFT away". That's more creative, and it ties in with the rest of the lyrics.
Both versions are so beautiful!
They both are...I like Jaheim's soulful sounds, but this is nice....l hate when folks down an artist to make another one look good... So unnecessary...
They both did they thing with this
True facts 💯
For all you ignorant ppl tht think this is a cover, it's not. Miguel wrote this song so that means Jaheim owes all the credit to miguel.
bayareaplaya2012 finally someone who knows the truth facts b 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
He is credited on the Album dude
Mi- thoughts both versions were good 4reel...Miguel wrote it & knew Jaheim version was strong,,commanding& soulful..but umm Miguel version was a lil softer,,smooth,,winn..winn situation just mi thoughts opinion 4reel 👌👍
bayareaplaya2012 truth I’ve been telling my ppls that for the longest
Actually go to Wikipedia and it lists Jaheim,Miguel,and three other men that wrote this song.....Let’s try 2b Actual and Factual when placing info out’chea ✌🏽
Jahiem has so much more soul in his voice which makes this song come to life, I love Miguel and I might would have liked this if I had never heard Jahiem's version lol.
This version is better, softer. More soul. It's beautiful. Jahs is good. But Miguel is on a whole other level
I like Miguel's voice because he sounds so soulful, delicate and has a lot of passion when he sings! That's just my personal opinion, love this dude!
We were so much better, when we were together!...**love that part of the song**
Jaheim killed this track! Never knew Miguel wrote it tho, but not surprised the guy is uber talented!
10 years ago .. Wow. I remember wen this song came out. So relatable now. 😢
Have to give Miguel credit when it's due.
Jaheim wrote it too not miguel alone
Wow the lyrics....blows my mind.
We got lost, lines got crossed, Dim the light turn to static babe
And then I jumped ship got caught up in the current, And it carried both of us away
We were so much better when we were together, And I just can't watch you drift away.
Miguel wrote this song but everyone gives Jaheim credit...I love Miguel and I don't think Jaheim's version is bad, just prefer this one.
Amethyst robinson most of the music industry is like that. That’s why the term is ghost writer
This dude by far is one of the best hands down, and I'm a lover of good authentic music, I so love this guy talent he is using the hell out of it...
If you listen to Jaheim's version you can hear Miguel in the background holding him down!! Miguel is so talented! He's going to be in the Front of R&B for like the next 20 years! He's a modern day Marvin\Curtis for this generation. Candles in the Sun on his new CD proves that! He's just getting started!
I love Miguel, he's so talented as a singer, songwriter, producer...
I could listen to his voice forever....:)
This is the best version hands down OG right here
Miguel wrote a masterpiece. However, Miguel has a lighter tone (soprano) and Jaheim is more like alto, a deeper, heavier tone. They both did their thing, but I like Jaheim's better. But once again, Miguel wrote that song old school style. Teddy Pendergrass, Luther Vandross, and Freddie Jackson could've made it a big hit, back in the day.
I ain't gon bullshit, Miguel did his thing on this track but I don't feel it like I feel Jaheim version.
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
personally i think its a great song. I feel that allowing the fans of both artist to really hear the same song with different vocal strengths really gives us a treat on just how talented they are and lucky we are to have both these young men singing and sharing their talent with us . Thank you
I LOVE THIS SONG HE DID HIS THING ON THIS jAHEIM KILLED IT TOO MIGEL BEEN ON THE SCENE FOR AWHILE WELL BEHIND THE SCENES I SHULD SAY.. AND I THINK CAME OUT AT THE RIGHT TIME TO THE WORLD HIS SKILLS NOT ONLY AS AN WRITER BUT AN ARTIST ALSO
I agree. Song writers are smart. Miguel knew who he wanted to sing his song. Jahiem slam dunk this one and was a perfect fit. Great job to both.
I miss the old Miguel! 💯
This version is way better. The song that make me fall in love with Miguel, musically
I am a fan of everything he does!
My paisano is one of the most underrated R&b artist of all time, probably cause he prefers quality over quantity 🙏🏼
Love this song forever.
it took me a while to remember this wasnt the original version. then the chorus came in and my mind was like BLAMMOOO. thats the sound of my mind being blown. both versions are pretty great
Well Miguel wrote it and I adore both versions ❤
Miguel was the creator I love both versions in their own right but jaheim slayed this
why tf people always gotta bash somebody dnt say you love him and then dis him like damn. Hes already underrated and overlooked as it is.
shiiiiiit.. i've got goosebumpssssss over here because of that voooice.. love him
OH MY FUCKING GOD! IVE NEVER HEARD A MORE ANGELIC VOICE! IVE NEVER NOTICED HOW BEAUTIFUL HIS MUSIC IS WAS! I W ANNA CRY, ITS SOOOOOO BEAUTIFUL!

Miguel is fantastic. This song is beautiful. Jahiem song it well also.
I respect jaheim as an artist, in fact, he's one of my favorite artists. But I have to give credit where it's due, miguel sang this song better.
Willie Stevenson I mean Miguel wrote song
Willie Stevenson facts! I love his version more!
Naw bro Miguel is actually my Favorite artist but there’s a reason he gave it to Jaheim ...Jaheim voice has a certain raspiness that the song needed ....No doubt Miguel the Goat lol but Jaheim voice was perfect for this song

Beautiful
I do agree that they are both great artist but if you look up the song lyrics it says who the writers are one of them is Miguel Jontel.
I literally thought this was his song♥
on datpiff search miguel.. the title should be miguel unreleased the album coveris a city with a neon green highway going through it. cant miss it.
Always will stay 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Who cares? This sounds amazing. Who. Cares.
he paints such a beautiful picture with his word!!! i get lost in the lyrics :)
just killed it
this is the orginal, miguel wrote this and sold it to jahiem. and they have 2 completely diff voices, so theyre not comparable.
This is Miguel stage one . We hear him today at like stage 4 or 5 :)
I love Miguel but when it comes this song it sounds like he "trying to sing" and Jahiem sounds like he "sanngging"! Lol this didn't move me in any way, shape, or form but Jahiem's version makes me wanna cry...
Couldn't have said it better
this song is old school miguel did not write this song at all. miguel and jaheim are great artist in there own right. no one is better than the other. they both have their share od talents. and they both did amazing jobs with this song. jaheim matched the original artist vocally.
Miguel is my life
Finding My Way Back To You, Asia 🤍💌
He already lost his way. :/
I wish he would go back to this kind of music.
I mean, as soon as it got to "Quickie". Things seriously changed.
I just hope he doesn't lose his soul music qualities. Haha.
