    It's funny how society can judge you according to their standards, can you imagine if Alex Boye didn't believe in himself after AGT found him not worthy of their stage. This man is creative and can sing his heart out.

      AGT is a made up TV show... just like all TV shows. The judges and producers decide how things play out and the single best thing they could do for Alex was introduce him to a worldwide audience and then cut him free to be signed up internationally by agents who can get him the best performing opportunities, hopefully! Or, that’s the way it should work, unfortunately, many artists get chewed up before they find the right “agent.” Don’t think that will happen to Alex, though.

      +Devin J. Bowden
      LOL First of all, how is my opinion racist? Hate to burst your social justice bubble snowflake, but Mr. Boye's skin color was the last reason I thought would make him a fitting role for Rafiki. It was his VOICE.
      Secondly, it's common sense that to pull off any character in film or tv, most notably in animation, that you need to find a person with a voice that would fit well with the character they are portraying.
      For example, James Earl Jones as Mufasa. I and many others would agree that his voice was more than fitting for the role of Mufasa, not because he was black, but because with his bass-like voice, he was able to embody everything Mufasa was in the film.
      As long as the voice fits and the actor/actress is able to emote, connect and be credible, their racial backgrounds shouldn't even be an issue and shouldn't even be thought of when choosing voice actors.
      Thirdly, that "damn monkey" is fricken awesome! Especially how he single-handedly whooped six of the hyenas in the last third of the film. In my opinion, he's one of the best characters in the entire film. I think Boye is a good choice for the role of Rafiki, he definitely has a voice that fits the character and when choosing a voice actor, that is the most important thing.

    From the day we arrive on the planet
    And blinking, step into the sun
    There's more to be seen than can ever be seen
    More to do than can ever be done
    Some say eat or be eaten
    Some say live and let live
    But all are agreed as they join the stampede
    You should never take more than you give
    In the circle of life, it's the wheel of fortune
    It's the leap of faith, it's the band of hope
    Till we find our place on the path unwinding
    In the circle, the circle of life
    Some of us fall by the wayside
    And some of us soar to the stars
    And some of us sail through our troubles
    And some have to live with the scars
    There's far too much to take in here
    More to find than can ever be found
    But the sun rolling high through the sapphire sky
    Keeps great and small on the endless round

So, instead of sitting there and complain about the fact that more species are vanishing from this planet, people could actually DO something. Even a small contribution, such as a membership, could make a difference for a lot of species out there. If the development continues, we ourselves could be in jeopardy. After all, we`ve got only one planet.

I loved the music they brought back with them. There is something so "real" about it. I had long forgotten about that childhood enjoyment until I ran across your AGT audition, which was awesome and it was their loss you didn't go further, which led me to this video and man, what an awesome video. I can listen to it multiple times every day. Thank you for reminding me of that. Childhood was a long time ago, now I listen to it with my grandson.

    I just watched the Lion King remake tonight. Leaving the theater I had to look up your song, as I remembered hearing it a few years ago. I must say, I wish you guys did the soundtrack for the movie. Beyonce and cast just fell flat and didnt capture the ambiance of the original film.

    This video brings up childhood memories for me. My dad worked in Nigeria when I was a kid. He brought back elephants that looked the same as the one the gentleman is carving. The artistry, the detail, the hard work is amazing. All of the turbulent politics this continent has had to endure over the centuries, people tend to forget the pure unadulterated beauty that it holds.
