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.
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.
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.
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.
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
Producing collaborative anthems that entertain, entrain and remains socially responsible and relevant reliably is a marvel of invention and artistic expression. Thank you for sharing yours!
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.
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!
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!!
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.👍🏻❤️🎼🎤🥁
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.
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!
Awesome video, Awesome school. So glad that my dauughter has had the opportunity to attend Soutyhern Virginia University for the last 3 years. Thank you for being part of her experience there. #BeAKnight
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.
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
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....
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!
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"
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
What an incredible message of belief in positive change! Our world is in great need of more believers like #AlexBoye and #SVUEDU students! #BeAKnight #MotivationalElite
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!
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.
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!!!
It's great that Alex includes special groups and artists, but I really wish he'd do more solo covers! I found myself wanting to hear more of HIS voice during the video. Still amazing!
![[OFFICIAL VIDEO] Holispark - Believer (Imagine Dragons Cover)](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/UVPZ4XSa0kA/mqdefault.jpg)
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.
That haka though - nice to see my people and my culture is known around the world
The haka will forever be LEGEND
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.
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!
Epic!
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?
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!
I thought about going here when I was looking at colleges. Great video!
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
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🤭🤭🤭
Wow. I’m honestly speechless 😶. This is AMAZING. I love it. Your version is so much more hype and interesting. 😍 😩☺️☺️☺️
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.
Thanks for coming Alex!!
I feel like this is to be another similar hit like Peponi. Keep this stuff flowin' Alex!
Hey Alex, you should com to WVU and do the song "take me home country roads" and definitely put your spin on it!
YES!
It was so fun working with you. Look at you go, Alex! Killin’ it!
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
Honestly I'm ashamed it took this long for me to see this, this had to be the most badass performance/music video/cover I have ever seen.
Best ad for a school I have ever seen! Also an amazing cover.
The gals that did the solos deserve a medal! Their skills are off the charts!
Producing collaborative anthems that entertain, entrain and remains socially responsible and relevant reliably is a marvel of invention and artistic expression. Thank you for sharing yours!
The original song didnt wrap me into a spell like this. It felt like the song wrapped around me. Amazing work
Don't know why, but the moment starting from 2:36 really touches me... the way they sing together... just amazing!!
Go Knights!! Amazing job from all parts of the university!!
This cover is INSANE. Such raw power, I had full-body goosebumps. Amazing!!! Thank you for bringing us your music, 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.
Speechless... so much power & grace at the same time.
I hope to reach that level of musical talent like this
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
You’ve got moxie Alex! Love that you include so many!!!
Ahhh amazing!! I love thiss!!!
Maybe even better than the original I love it so much!!
DUDE! this is awesome, i love the flavour your voice and accent gives it. Brilliant
This song was lit... great cover @AlexBoye
I used to live in Africa and I've never heard anything like this so unique and awesome remember to follow your dreams❤️❤️
We loved getting to be a part of this amazing experience!! #BeAKnight #svu_accolade
Yassssss!!! You guys are SUPERSTARS!!! Love you all!
His energy in this this 👏 🙌
Admire the example he sets as a Man of faith, husband, father, Human!
Love him ❤️
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!
Thank you for the great concert Alex Boye thank you for walking wjth me here at ala gilbert arizona
wow !! what a good surprise ! better than original ! great performance !!!
I love SVU! So glad Alex chose to shine a light on this truly inspiring university!
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!!

What amazing voices.
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.
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!
Very well done both musically and cinematically.
OMG! never ever got enough with one time watching - love - thankyou very much to do and done - posted this kind of music to us
#BeAKnight
I’m so glad I’m part of this amazing school! :D
Thank you Alex! Such an awesome video, loved being able to participate. Go Knights!
I loved seeing my SVU family make this incredible video!! This school means so much to me! Thank you Alex! #BeAKnight
Fantastic, awesome and amazingly done. Love the enthusiasm and excitement by everyone in the video. What talent!! #BeAKnight
This hits me hard in the feels! So proud of my alma mater and I love this song and this cover! #BeAKnight
Awesome video, Awesome school. So glad that my dauughter has had the opportunity to attend Soutyhern Virginia University for the last 3 years. Thank you for being part of her experience there. #BeAKnight
Wow this is fantastic
Blinking incredibly...why have I never heard Mr Boye before. I’m so happy right now.
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.
I love that Alex uses Choirs and the Choirs that he uses ! BYU , Dixie State and now 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
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....
Great job to all involved! SVU is certainly a special place. #BeaKnight
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!
This is amazing.
Chills. This is INCREDIBLE!
Hopefully anyone thinking of a great university will consider SVU. It’s amazing. Thanks for representing them in this spectacular video.
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"
The singer at 0:33, what's his name? ;P
well at least we know one
at :49 it's Cheyenne Peisley.
at 1:51 it's Karin Allred (sister to Loren Allred, voice of Rebecca Ferguson in The Greatest Showman)
3:10 is Eric Hanson aka my dad :) He has a youtube channel now if you want the link. Hes a super talented and cool guy.
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
And Everytime I listen to this I cry
What an incredible message of belief in positive change! Our world is in great need of more believers like #AlexBoye and #SVUEDU students! #BeAKnight #MotivationalElite
This was such a cool experience!
It was for me too! Glad you were there!
I'm a fan sinced you collaborated with the piano guys. You are really great. 👏
Great, great !🌺🌻🌺
Why did you get no Heart?
Other School?
No matter how many times I see this video, that armor still looks so awesome, esp. on you, Alex. Well done as always.
Nice!!!
I can't believe I just now found this song. Beautiful work, truly. Just a gorgeous take on the song.
Can we please appreciate the guy at 1:37 who's really getting into the song?
🤣 such keen eyes..
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!
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
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
