My favourite part of Alex is how he always shares the spotlight. I have no idea who any of the other singers are in this video but they got more face time than Alex did in his own production.
Sometimes I forget how I was lucky to talk to this guy on the phone on my lds mission in Fresno, we had a connection of being from Nigeria and he gave me some hardcore advice to keep going on and shared a personal experience he had to motivate me. The man truly has the energy and enthusiasm as his music portrays- thanks for building lives Alex Boye.
Alex Boye ', you have been to me an example of a person with personality, talent and who makes his way. Success. I have already begun to dream of a future, soon, to be able to appreciate his musical art very closely.
I like your music Alex, but I must say that I honestly wasn't too sure about this one. I just love Imagine Dragon's version to pieces and listen to it a lot.... In fact, I even refrained from listening to your version when I first saw it, but now, I seriously regret that choice because.... YOU NAILED IT! As did the University Allstars! :D This was very cool, I really, really loved it. In fact, I almost like your version better, which is an impressive feat. Well done. Round of applause from me.
Eric...cannot tell you how much fun I had with you. You are not only a talented brother, but a humble man. Thank you so much for your hospitality, and your genuine kindness to me and everyone during this whole undertaking. CAME OUT AMAAAAZIIING!!! Love you brother!!!!!
Love you too, Alex!!! Working with you has been more than I could ever have imagined. It was a treasure having you here. Thank you for all that this means to our school!!! I wish you and your family all the best.
So much energy! I had to hear/watch this 3 times in a row before I could believe. First of all I like the style Alex has with his african amarican articulation and accent, powerful energy and the attitude of a great knight. 2nd the woman after blow me away very nice voice and vocal. 3rd the part with opera taken over by rap verse is awsome. Very well performed, I enjoy this vid alot! Greetings from Denmark!
Great job Alex Boye and Kyle! I'm even more excited to bring my students to SVU in April. Alex, you keep getting better and better! Tons of talent in this action packed video.
Glory. Pure, unadulterated glory, a feast for the eyes and even more so for the ears. I could listen to this all day long. Kudos to everyone involved in the making of this masterpieces.
You are so talented and constantly blow me away with your ability to take a song and adding your special twist/touch to it while remaining true to the original artist ‘s vision and yet you make it your own and it’s even better than the original 99% of the time. Love this one.👍🏻❤️🎼🎤🥁
This gets better with each viewing. Alex, every time I watch it I am more impressed with your generosity in involving the whole SVU community in this. Very good-natured of you! Bravo!
Just WOW Alex Boye! These covers are amazing for so many reasons! It speaks so loudly of your true philosophy of life as you involve the youth of our nation in these incredible productions. Your choreography and musical style just makes the songs EXPLODE! Thank you so much for sharing these with us! I am now going to have to download each and every one .. or ask you, do you have these all compiled on a DVD .. that would be the coolest ever! So powerful .. each and every one .. I simply LOVE this one, and the Bruno Mars cover .. brought joy into my heart .. I can't say there's a bad one of the 10 or so I've listened to so far .. you are an amazing talent and have an incredibly rare gift of bringing forth something powerful using our next leaders in these covers .. may you go far with your music and truly your ministry!!
GO Knights! So proud to have been a part of this great institution and to have been one of the starting voice students! Dr. Gingerich-Toney and Dr. Bradshaw, look how far we've come!
It's so hard to tell with the tiny profile pictures on here but are you the second girl singing in the video!?! If so you have an amazing voice and have a bright future ahead of you annddd if it's not you lol then I apologize lol you look like her
Alex... just got used to this song a little. drive me crazy. but you redoing it knocked it out of the park for me.... keep it up sweetie.... your music is the language of this dark world and bringing more light to us by every song you share with us. so very beautiful....
This should have trillions of views! Superb performance by everyone. Alex you are pure talent and thank you for what you do! Keep up the amazing work. Respect and love from Hungary.
So amazed by this video & all the creative effort that went into it. Southern Virginia University is an awesome place!! Thanks Alex for sharing your talent and love to spread the word!!!
Very nicely done, always glad when you release a new video! Any chance I could request a higher quality version of the thumbnail then 480p? I think you look great in that armor and with the background it creates a very dramatic pose.
3:09 OK so, I usually don't even _like_ rap, there are a few exceptions but THIS was really cool and.....am I the only one who thought it odd how *well* it fit with the freak'n opera before it? The two completely complemented each other and I feel like they shouldn't have which....I think that makes it even better. They shouldn't work but they do and its awesome.
I'm currently touring SVU and I can say it's an outstanding school. This was an amazing video and filled with school spirit. This definitely makes me want to be a knight. #BeAKnight
First : this is way better than the original Second : you should really put the names of all the major singers in the description - The singer at 0:49 , whats her name ? The singer at 1:51 whats her name ? The guy singing at 2:53 what's his name ? The guy at 3:10 Whats his name ? This are the names that should appear in the description along with "President Reed Wilcox, Glade Knight, Jeff Cotton, the students & entire staff at Southern Virginia University"
Alex Boye '- Believer (Imagine Dragons Cover) ft. Southern Virginia University Allstars [...] I was tired the way things were ... So I dared to dream, make plans, strategize and be the first in my father's family and my mother's family to complete high school, the first of the two families to complete college, the first of the two families to complete a master's degree, the first of the two families to have a passport stamp proving that the world is small when one has dreams and works to accomplish them. I've been called to break through and it hurts, it hurts, but it moves me. Alex Boye ', your songs, you as a person and artist make me want to be a better person, to contribute to make this world a better place. I believe in the living God and He allows me to fight, to make my way, to try. This is free will, the ability to make decisions on our own. My fuel to move many times was the pain. Today I seek to love and joy and that moves me.
Absolutely amazing and flawless!!! Alex Boye, you have done it again. You are the epitome of class and a true artist. Thank you for continuing to make music and proving that a person should follow their dreams by doing what they love.
Just seeing this...I am gobsmacked i literally watched over and over again....I'm so proud of you Alex Boye... I loved every part including the opera solo that was majestic...I only wished there was more of you Alex Boye😊😊🥰
Awesome production! Stirring performance by everyone. So proud of SVU and beautiful Buena Vista, Virginia! Come to school here and you won't want to leave. Thanks so much!
I have lost words. This was simply UNBELIEVABLE. Wonderful combination of passion and commitment and good old fashioned. Vocals are outstanding. +Alex Boye , You never seize to amaze. Simply BREATH TAKING

I'm blown away by the response of this video! Shout out to all the talented souls that were involved in this video!!! #BeAKnight
Alex Boye It’s a great day to #beaknight !
I LUV U
Alex Boye great job man
This was SO GOOD, made my day!!!
Why can't I find this on iTunes?
It constantly amazes me that Alex can take a song, stay true to it's roots, but make it so much different (and better!) at the same time!
My favourite part of Alex is how he always shares the spotlight. I have no idea who any of the other singers are in this video but they got more face time than Alex did in his own production.
Sometimes I forget how I was lucky to talk to this guy on the phone on my lds mission in Fresno, we had a connection of being from Nigeria and he gave me some hardcore advice to keep going on and shared a personal experience he had to motivate me. The man truly has the energy and enthusiasm as his music portrays- thanks for building lives Alex Boye.

I will study singing and one day I dream to sing next to this Titan!! Bless you Alex!!! Loving you for years!
That haka though - nice to see my people and my culture is known around the world
The haka will forever be LEGEND
So proud to be a part of this! Special shout out to the Concert Chorale; dig the new threads :-) #BeAKnight #SingingKnights
You were amazing man!! Thx for putting up with my my crazy ideas! Now you have to wear your face paint at every class you teach. Ha ha!
No question! It was so great to bounce creative energy with you for those 3 days. Until the next time!
I really like you career Mr.boye, and I also like your Cristhian song like this one, keep doing the good work. Mr. Boye. Sorry for my broken English.
Kyle, nice job ! You look great! It was so fun to watch you and everyone else in this video!
Were you the conductor?
Epic!
I loved this song already but this . . . this cover brought tears to my eyes. It was epic.
Proud to #BeAKnight. Thanks for this awesome opportunity, Alex!
You may be cool, but you'll never be "Alex Boye in golden armor" cool.
True
😢 true
Sooooooooooooo true
I endorse this statement.
Very much truth.
Wow. I’m honestly speechless 😶. This is AMAZING. I love it. Your version is so much more hype and interesting. 😍 😩☺️☺️☺️
I have a soft spot in my heart for bald scream-singers who happen to be on very tall buildings
now :)
Loiuzein Allieran Yes, same! :D
not alone
may i know who is that person on the roof?
That person is Dr. Eric Hanson, a music professor at SVU, and the reigning Lord of the Vocal Department.
+Se Franzen listening to Dr Eric voice made me feel like I was attending an opera, all their voices are just so cool.
Alex Boye ', you have been to me an example of a person with personality, talent and who makes his way. Success. I have already begun to dream of a future, soon, to be able to appreciate his musical art very closely.
I like your music Alex, but I must say that I honestly wasn't too sure about this one. I just love Imagine Dragon's version to pieces and listen to it a lot.... In fact, I even refrained from listening to your version when I first saw it, but now, I seriously regret that choice because.... YOU NAILED IT! As did the University Allstars! :D This was very cool, I really, really loved it. In fact, I almost like your version better, which is an impressive feat. Well done. Round of applause from me.
Absolutely ..
Masterpiece
No need to compare but if I have to....well I stopped listening to The original version after I heard this🤭🤭🤭
This cover is INSANE. Such raw power, I had full-body goosebumps. Amazing!!! Thank you for bringing us your music, Alex!
GOOOOOO KNIGHTS!!!!!!! What an experience, making this video. Thank you Alex!!! #BeaKnight
Eric...cannot tell you how much fun I had with you. You are not only a talented brother, but a humble man. Thank you so much for your hospitality, and your genuine kindness to me and everyone during this whole undertaking. CAME OUT AMAAAAZIIING!!! Love you brother!!!!!
Love you too, Alex!!! Working with you has been more than I could ever have imagined. It was a treasure having you here. Thank you for all that this means to our school!!! I wish you and your family all the best.
This should be a pretty amazing recruiting tool.
QQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQQ
Eric Hanson you are amazing and my grandma dr. LaRae Carter misses you
Thanks for coming Alex!!
Go Knights!! Amazing job from all parts of the university!!
I feel like this is to be another similar hit like Peponi. Keep this stuff flowin' Alex!
This song was lit... great cover @AlexBoye
I love SVU! So glad Alex chose to shine a light on this truly inspiring university!
So much energy! I had to hear/watch this 3 times in a row before I could believe. First of all I like the style Alex has with his african amarican articulation and accent, powerful energy and the attitude of a great knight. 2nd the woman after blow me away very nice voice and vocal. 3rd the part with opera taken over by rap verse is awsome. Very well performed, I enjoy this vid alot! Greetings from Denmark!
.........this never ceases to surprise me.......all the power and emotions flowing through each word and rhythms........PLEASE KEEP SINGING!😆😆😆😆
The gals that did the solos deserve a medal! Their skills are off the charts!
This just blew my doors off, I have just stumbled upon your music and have completely fallen in love thank you for sharing your talent
Great job Alex Boye and Kyle! I'm even more excited to bring my students to SVU in April. Alex, you keep getting better and better! Tons of talent in this action packed video.
I absolutely love this rendition. Thank you Alex for another beautiful arrangement.
The original song didnt wrap me into a spell like this. It felt like the song wrapped around me. Amazing work
Best ad for a school I have ever seen! Also an amazing cover.
Don't know why, but the moment starting from 2:36 really touches me... the way they sing together... just amazing!!
Glory. Pure, unadulterated glory, a feast for the eyes and even more so for the ears. I could listen to this all day long.
Kudos to everyone involved in the making of this masterpieces.
You are so talented and constantly blow me away with your ability to take a song and adding your special twist/touch to it while remaining true to the original artist ‘s vision and yet you make it your own and it’s even better than the original 99% of the time. Love this one.👍🏻❤️🎼🎤🥁
This gets better with each viewing. Alex, every time I watch it I am more impressed with your generosity in involving the whole SVU community in this. Very good-natured of you! Bravo!
We loved getting to be a part of this amazing experience!! #BeAKnight #svu_accolade

Alex, you have done it again. Fantastic! What a GREAT University!!!
#BeAKnight
Just WOW Alex Boye! These covers are amazing for so many reasons! It speaks so loudly of your true philosophy of life as you involve the youth of our nation in these incredible productions. Your choreography and musical style just makes the songs EXPLODE! Thank you so much for sharing these with us! I am now going to have to download each and every one .. or ask you, do you have these all compiled on a DVD .. that would be the coolest ever! So powerful .. each and every one .. I simply LOVE this one, and the Bruno Mars cover .. brought joy into my heart .. I can't say there's a bad one of the 10 or so I've listened to so far .. you are an amazing talent and have an incredibly rare gift of bringing forth something powerful using our next leaders in these covers .. may you go far with your music and truly your ministry!!
Hey Alex, you should com to WVU and do the song "take me home country roads" and definitely put your spin on it!
YES!
GO Knights! So proud to have been a part of this great institution and to have been one of the starting voice students! Dr. Gingerich-Toney and Dr. Bradshaw, look how far we've come!
Great job to all involved! SVU is certainly a special place. #BeaKnight

Awesome job Knights! Love your stuff Alex! Cheyenne you are so amazing, beautiful, and talented!We want more!!!!😎

Chills. This is INCREDIBLE!
Speechless... so much power & grace at the same time.

I’m so glad I’m part of this amazing school! :D
So amazed by this video & all the creative effort that went into it. Southern Virginia University is an awesome place!! Thanks Alex for sharing your talent and love to spread the word!!!
Very nicely done, always glad when you release a new video! Any chance I could request a higher quality version of the thumbnail then 480p? I think you look great in that armor and with the background it creates a very dramatic pose.
You’ve got moxie Alex! Love that you include so many!!!
Wow this is fantastic
WOW! I love Alex Boye! He's such a great entertainer Totally Amazing!!
This is amazing.
I used to live in Africa and I've never heard anything like this so unique and awesome remember to follow your dreams❤️❤️
This was such a cool experience!
It was for me too! Glad you were there!
wow!! Wonderful job!!! Alex you are the best of the best. God continues Blessing all your projects and things you do. We love you!!! Loved the video
3:09 OK so, I usually don't even _like_ rap, there are a few exceptions but THIS was really cool and.....am I the only one who thought it odd how *well* it fit with the freak'n opera before it? The two completely complemented each other and I feel like they shouldn't have which....I think that makes it even better. They shouldn't work but they do and its awesome.
Ikr, there are a few different genres, yet they fit so great together
*I love how he makes it his own but keeps it true to the original at the same time, well done Alex and everybody else at SVU!!!*
I'm currently touring SVU and I can say it's an outstanding school. This was an amazing video and filled with school spirit. This definitely makes me want to be a knight. #BeAKnight
I'm a fan sinced you collaborated with the piano guys. You are really great. 👏
This school will never get a better promo video

Thanks so much for letting me run with my crazy ideas coach. Ha ha! The team look like striplin' warriors!!! Amazing!!!
Anytime my man!!!! Love these boys and excited for their future!!
First : this is way better than the original
Second : you should really put the names of all the major singers in the description -
The singer at 0:49 , whats her name ?
The singer at 1:51 whats her name ?
The guy singing at 2:53 what's his name ?

Alex Boye '- Believer (Imagine Dragons Cover) ft. Southern Virginia University Allstars
[...] I was tired the way things were ...
So I dared to dream, make plans, strategize and be the first in my father's family and my mother's family to complete high school, the first of the two families to complete college, the first of the two families to complete a master's degree, the first of the two families to have a passport stamp proving that the world is small when one has dreams and works to accomplish them. I've been called to break through and it hurts, it hurts, but it moves me. Alex Boye ', your songs, you as a person and artist make me want to be a better person, to contribute to make this world a better place.
I believe in the living God and He allows me to fight, to make my way, to try. This is free will, the ability to make decisions on our own. My fuel to move many times was the pain. Today I seek to love and joy and that moves me.
I believe too
Absolutely amazing and flawless!!! Alex Boye, you have done it again. You are the epitome of class and a true artist. Thank you for continuing to make music and proving that a person should follow their dreams by doing what they love.
Btw
