it's because while there are a few songs here and there, a lot of them are confusing. And some of his songs did get promoted, like with Disney and it's on youtube - but it didn't go anywhere - so it probably boils down to him. If you really want him to be big, you gotta put in the work for it to be promoted. I just don't see it going far. For me, the africanized stuff isn't africanized enough - and it's confusing why it's africanized in the first place - like alex boye said himself. If he pushes past that, he can achieve superstardom.

Did anyone follow the male students journey? At the beginning he arrives. A long way from home. In the course of the song he gets to school,attends school. Then at school they do all those practical experiments. Then theres the scene where the books are so overwhelming for him. Then when the kids are singing Alex Boye hands him the directors'rod so he's the one conducting the choir. Showing he is getting good...and in the last scene he has his graduation gown on. Wow. A million dreams is all its gonna take

The MUSIC was very inspiring, which I suspect was your greatest motivation. One question - - What is the intent of putting the word "AFRICAN" in quotation marks? I get that fact that the song is a parody/rethinking of the movie theme song to "The Greatest Showman", but the quotation marks gives a connotation/implicatiion that something is "not quite right". Just curious - - Just sayin'....

I don't know why you replied to my comment with this but it's because it's in the middle of the original title "The Greatest Showman" That's what is technically not right, is African has been added into the original title.

The world is too addicted to anger and outrage to accept your messages, but you are a beacon in darkness. Bless you.

Hey Jill, I just saw your comment and just wanted to take the time to appreciate your dedication. I think that it is amazing that you are still willing to work so hard towards your dream. I am still young, only 16, and the future scares me sometimes. Sometimes, I just don't know where I'm going because I'm afraid that if I go after my dream it will be crushed. But you are an inspiration to many, definitely to me. So thank you. I just want to make sure you know that you are an amazing person and should be proud of what you are doing. On the hard days, take it one breath at a time and don't get overwhelmed. All the best for your days ahead of dream catching.

I think the diversity that the choir adds is that they are children compared more (young) adult artists before that. So diversity in age. I agree that if you are talking about diversity in race in that choir there is very little. What I have noticed with choirs it really depends on where the choir is situated. Knowing that Alex Boye lives in Utah and the video being sponsored by Dixie State from Utah, that choir is probably also from Utah. Utah consists of about 85% whites... then it makes sense the choir is mostly white children.

Somethign about the Nigerian accent that just ALWAYS sounds good in music. It adds this power and attack to the words that just gives it emotion that you won't find anywhere else.

I got to watch this in my school assembly because the girl in the yellow dress with the solo was in 4th grade from my school. It’s still so cool to think about it even coming back a year later.

Here is for you, myself, if you come here to motivated yourself here : Hey, I know you're so sure about your desicion about your life, or about the path you take.

You can do it, you can make it. Your dreams will come true.

This beautiful rendition brought tears to my eyes! This motivated me immensely to keep pushing. It gave me hope that, through education, we can make this world a better place by allowing students to learn the skills necessary to pursue their passions and their life choices. Beautiful, thank you!

I honestly think I could watch this on repeat 24 hours a day and not get tired of it. Now more than ever we NEED this kind positivity. We need to celebrate each others' unique cultures, world experiences, talents and abilities in positive ways that bring us all together instead of focusing on how we're all different.

Oh Alex. I'm sitting here trying to think of a meaningful comment but all I can think is...hope. I struggle with depression and hope is such a rare thing to feel but THIS SONG. This song actually woke up my heart and made me feel hope and joy. You often hear about artists putting love into their work, but it is SO rare to actually be able to SEE that love in such an outpouring that it touches every soul in this video. We need more people like you, bringing communities and cultures together in such a strength of spirit and love like this. Keep singing, you're making a difference. Truly.
