Irene Melchioni finally someone who agrees with me! This guy is great and ppl are just saying stuff about his teeth wtf??! He deserves a kickstarter project!!
Irene Melchioni yea. We did him for a artist of the month in music class. He is so talented. The kids in my class underrate him so much. But he is so talented and should be recognized by way more people.
One of the most underrated TH-cam artists of all time. This guy should be way more famous by now. He is the ONLY one who has done a cover to this song and hit all the really hard notes just as good as Adelle herself. Nobody else has done that. I don't think people realize how hard it is to hit the notes in this song. Its one of the most difficult vocals ever composed.
I know I have commented this before but this is truly amazing. You can see his passion when he sings and that's what makes him stand out to me. He's honesty had talent and I feel he doesn't get as much credit as he deserves
Alex Boye, I said this the last time you covered an Adele song ("Set Fire to the Rain"), and I will say it again now. Your music is about as pure as pure gets in this screwed up world. Your voice is nothing short of spectacular. Thank you for the gift of these songs. :-)
My guess is that many of us would have never heard this amazing rendition, if the title didn't say star wars. So don't get so angry about it. Anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
+Sebastian "The Narrator" Also the "other" side could mean the dark side which would explain the star wars theme. Either way I'm glad I heard this version it's so epic.
I've listened to several covers of Adele but none of them managed to move me as much as the original does. But yours is really touching and beautiful. I love the fusion with the African tribal style. It really adds something. Not to mention the fact that you have an amazing voice ! Keep up the good work ! :)
CHIM Chim agreed. I could use Mariate's offer to get paid to spy on my brother and paid to investigate Mariate. Would be worth it and better than my current life.
Alex, the song by itself is awesome! The video with Star Wars stuff is awesome! Put together I am having fits of laughter! I don't know if you meant this to just be fun, or if you are spoofing on all the million other Adele Hello covers that are already out there, or if you are just trying your hand at TH-cam marketing genius since Star Wars comes out this week! Anyway, keep it up my friend.
+Alex Boye You have made my day. I discovered you today but then I realised that I already saw your frozen vid a while ago. You are PURE TALENT. Im so proud of you. I sent your vid to all my colleagues in the UN office here in Rome Italy. Keep doing your thing. I want to see you at the top of every chart in the world. well done man!
+Godsproduct Because nothing Alex is singing about seems to have anything to with putting on a Stormtrooper costume and recreating Star Wars scenes and atmosphere.
Alex Boye is my all time favorite entertainer. He has enormous talent and charisma. His heart and soul is in all his songs and he puts everything into his performances--totally high energy. I never get tired of listening to and watch him perform. God bless him with a long life to continue to put his light out there to the world.
Half of you are unimpressed, probably thinking "there goes another youtube wannbe.' Half of you don't even know what you just watched. But let me tell you, coming from someone with a professional singing background, he is one of the most brilliant and stellar people I have ever seen. It's not just the quality of his videos or his amazingly toned vocal pitch, but his life story that makes him so special. He had Nigerian parents, was raised in the UK, and later abandoned as a child. He found shelter in nightclub bathrooms, and learned to sing and dance by himself at night when everyone left. Perseverance, determination, and humility. He does what he does not for himself, but for a cause. To keep music and his culture alive. To keep humanity alive. If anyone deserves views on youtube, it's him.
Alex you are such a raw talent! My husband and I always anxiously await for your next video and then play all of them about a hundred times :) don't ever stop!
Why does he keep getting turned down on all of the talent shows he enters? Alex is amazing! He can sing just about anything and still make it his own! He deserves a record deal and a chance!
The BEST musical parody I've ever seen in my life. I'm extremely empathetic and living with the music so I feel I understand Alex. And wish I could hug him.
There are so many wonderful things I want to say about this song. This is beautiful! Also, I didn't realize my life was incomplete up until this moment. I can die happy now knowing I've seen a squad of Stormtroopers playing African drums!
Wow good job incorporating factors that would easily make this video viral: "African tribal version", "Adele (of course)", and "Star Wars". I really enjoyed the cover and cinematic!
+Kubi Shime I was actually part of the crew that filmed Baba Yetu 2 months ago. It will be in the editing process for another few months. Look for it in March.
TBH I almost cried but the light saber sound took it from emotional to awesome. What a voice. What a voice! No Paul Simon needed here, Alex Boye is a diamond who needs no shoes. He has heart.
+Jonathan Ameh What he is doing in the storm trooper outfit is acting out the scene when Po and Finn crash their Tai Fight and he gets up heavily breathing
Damjan Medur Yeah but he said "the white soldier" instead of "the white soldiers". So I though he mean't the single soldier in episode 7 wich is Finn in this case.
Alex I love your music and the way you put videos together. Never stop singing and making videos period. I am hard of hearing and I am just blown away that music can sound like this just AWESOME!! ROCK OUT ALWAYS! NEVER STOP SINGING!!!
a black african man covering an adele song with a strong swahili accent while dressed up like a stormtrooper. i mean it sounds like a big joke, but the production values are so high that it can't be...
Strong Swahili accent? I happen to be a native Swahili speaker and you clearly haven't got a clue. Not a word in Swahili was uttered, I fail to see the connection......which makes it even weird because the singer is originally from Nigeria (West Africa).......one can only assume you've obtained your knowledge of Africa from watching Lion King.
+Tomiwa Aina Probably surrounding the star wars hype, this video was released shortly before the force awakens, so I guess they were just thinking it would be cool to do a star wars theme along with it.
+Rafsan Zilani Perhaps he was translating the "Other Side" and "million miles"she refers to in the song into the distance of space. It's a stretch, but it kind of works. That--and it doesn't hurt to catch some of that Star Wars fever.
uh...because its a light saber! How dare you question the validity of the light saber? Without it, well...this whole video wouldn't make any sense!! Think of the confusion it would cause! Gots 'ta have the light saber dude. Point blank period. End of story. That is all she wrote.
Only Alex Boye' can combine Adele, Star Wars and African tribal music. Legend.
ZimmerEinaudi10 yes legend
He's such an underrated artist.He has a lot of talent
Irene Melchioni finally someone who agrees with me! This guy is great and ppl are just saying stuff about his teeth wtf??! He deserves a kickstarter project!!
why am I just now finding out about him??? what rock have I been under??? His voice is simply amazing!😍😍😙
Irene Melchioni yea. We did him for a artist of the month in music class. He is so talented. The kids in my class underrate him so much. But he is so talented and should be recognized by way more people.
you know right, lol
@@faolanator3720 ג2 אשמח ר
Clearly this brother's talent is totally remarkable. Makes me proud of my Africa heritage.
Io non sono africana ma sono felice per lui mi piace molto anzi di più
One of the most underrated TH-cam artists of all time. This guy should be way more famous by now. He is the ONLY one who has done a cover to this song and hit all the really hard notes just as good as Adelle herself. Nobody else has done that. I don't think people realize how hard it is to hit the notes in this song. Its one of the most difficult vocals ever composed.
This guy is incredible that said he found a way of making the music ever more enjoying all inspiring.
Those light saber effects may have been the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life.
lol
Haha.
I know I have commented this before but this is truly amazing. You can see his passion when he sings and that's what makes him stand out to me. He's honesty had talent and I feel he doesn't get as much credit as he deserves

Your voice is nothing short of spectacular. Thank you for the gift of these songs. :-)
I watched this several years ago and have just tmemebered it today, it aged like fine wine and only got better with age.
The harmonising in the song is so oddly satisfying it makes me cry of joy😂😭😪
When I saw "star wars" in the title I was like wtf? This was awesome.
but then there was no star wars but the costume..
+Cameron Eproduction Do you expect anything more or something?
Oh wait, the sandy background. The lightsaber.
+Linkolnverse he was looking for luke and his father
This was the weirdest mash of recent popular media, Star Wars and Adele?! It didn't work, but I loved it
I got one for you. 'hello from the dark side.' It molds way better and is the best parody IMO.
+FierceLunarHavoc OMG, THAT DOES WORK, JEEZ THAT'S AWESOME! Sorry, lol, a bit too exited 'bout that😂
+Noukiee lol I was excited too when I found it. not to mention how amazing the guy's voice is!
and to add: african tribal! It's awesome, don't get me wrong haha It's just a strange mix...
FierceLunarHavoc ghgghh
My guess is that many of us would have never heard this amazing rendition, if the title didn't say star wars. So don't get so angry about it. Anger leads to hate, hate leads to suffering.
+Sebastian "The Narrator" Preach it jedi. Dont' turn to the dark side.
+Sebastian "The Narrator" Yeah, I'm happy because of Stars Wars in the title. That is how I found this video.
pfft.. my hate gives me power and through power I gain victory. .... lol no that's why I'm here
And Suffering leads to the Darkside
+Sebastian "The Narrator" Also the "other" side could mean the dark side which would explain the star wars theme. Either way I'm glad I heard this version it's so epic.
DAMN!!! Please give this brotha a record deal and Vegas show!
so many layers of unexpected. That's the perfection of Alex Boye.
Demitrium
Alex Boye' your voice is wonderful! you have a true gift and talent!
I love this accent😍
and of course his voice too😍
+Rendi Yaser Mahendra I was so surprised at how different it was from his speaking accent
THIS IS PATTIE, LIVING THIS .LOVE TO ALL..
Awesome version of this song!
Better version than the original song u mean
+Brunei Brawler, how in the world had you managed to NOT hear the original version first..???? LOL, that is all I hear everyday, everywhere I go.
+Brunei Brawler, oh.
the force is so strong.. .. this is good 👌👍☝💕
Lord LORD LORD!!!!!! I have GOOSEBUMPS! Amazing voice Alex!!!! Your doing exactly what you are meant to be doing! All your hard work paid off!
Amazing voice! Amazing effects! Amazing Costumes and setting! This is amazing!
"African Tribal Star Wars Cover", now there's a niche if there ever was one.
you give a whole new life to the songs that you sing. so glad to get to experience your take on these songs.
Am from Kenya and I love this song very much Thank you Lindsey
i love your energie. its spiritual
I've listened to several covers of Adele but none of them managed to move me as much as the original does. But yours is really touching and beautiful. I love the fusion with the African tribal style. It really adds something. Not to mention the fact that you have an amazing voice ! Keep up the good work ! :)
The quality of this video is better than my life
CHIM Chim agreed. I could use Mariate's offer to get paid to spy on my brother and paid to investigate Mariate. Would be worth it and better than my current life.
I have literally no idea how this relates to what i was searching for but I regret absolutely nothing
Man.. that voice... it transforms the emotion from inside the soul ... a real joy to listen to....
I saw this first before anyone else at his concert in December. Great show and a great showman. He deserves his Vegas show.
A line of stormtroopers, playing African drums, in an Adele cover. Awesome.
Me encanta! Enamorada de esta voz... Y ese tono africano la hace aun mejor! ♥ Respect from Argentina
Alex, the song by itself is awesome! The video with Star Wars stuff is awesome! Put together I am having fits of laughter!
I don't know if you meant this to just be fun, or if you are spoofing on all the million other Adele Hello covers that are already out there, or if you are just trying your hand at TH-cam marketing genius since Star Wars comes out this week!
Anyway, keep it up my friend.
+Daniel Gibby ALL the above! Ha ha! Glad you enjoyed it!
+Alex Boye You have made my day. I discovered you today but then I realised that I already saw your frozen vid a while ago. You are PURE TALENT. Im so proud of you. I sent your vid to all my colleagues in the UN office here in Rome Italy. Keep doing your thing. I want to see you at the top of every chart in the world. well done man!
+Alex Boye
Awesome song! also got a question, what shoes are those in the video?!
+Daniel Gibby i'm missing what's so funny about this......
+Godsproduct Because nothing Alex is singing about seems to have anything to with putting on a Stormtrooper costume and recreating Star Wars scenes and atmosphere.

Are you guys into getting cuckhold?
+El capitane lmao
+El capitane hahaha
Why does he keep getting turned down on all of the talent shows he enters? Alex is amazing! He can sing just about anything and still make it his own! He deserves a record deal and a chance!
Because greater is coming for him.
This song is so much better when you sing it, god bless
this guy's soul is so rough as much as his voice. how come human sing like this. incredible man.
The BEST musical parody I've ever seen in my life. I'm extremely empathetic and living with the music so I feel I understand Alex. And wish I could hug him.
The storm troopers may miss every shot they take, but they never miss a beat on the drums.
No idea why star wars, but kudos to the editing team on the light saber it looks awesome, great video
"side" as in dark side also he us a storm trooper a bad guy.
There is also a million miles between them.
I assume it was to hop on the Star Wars wagon, and gain popularity? Regardless, it is an AMAZING cover!
Legolas25079 I think he found similarities between himself and the lead, also who doesn't want to scream Adele lyrics in the middle of a desert
The white teeth, costume and the white tribal mark. On point :)
hurraayyy for AFRICA..you did great my fellow African....i love to listen the flavour of home in your music...bless u
Never have I heard I like better than Adele's. Just found it. Awesome Alex! Much love and wishing you the best. God has blessed you.
There are so many wonderful things I want to say about this song. This is beautiful! Also, I didn't realize my life was incomplete up until this moment. I can die happy now knowing I've seen a squad of Stormtroopers playing African drums!
When you love Star Wars but need to crush an Adele cover
lol exactly
Dan Boud n boy he crushed it. the best cover I've heard
Dan Boud so true! May The Force Be With Ya, Lad!
I love his accent!😎
Could just keep listening to that voice... the pipes on this guy 👍🏻
Alex, you're an awesome vessel of spirited song! Don't ever stop singing! 🎶
Wow good job incorporating factors that would easily make this video viral: "African tribal version", "Adele (of course)", and "Star Wars". I really enjoyed the cover and cinematic!
So I've followed Alex for quite a while now. I don't understand how he doesn't have more followers!!!
Please more videos
+Niko Pap more coming for sure!!
+Alex Boye Please, PLEASE make a cover of Baba Yetu you'd make my decade.
+Alex Boye Yes please Baba Yetu!!!
+Kubi Shime I was actually part of the crew that filmed Baba Yetu 2 months ago. It will be in the editing process for another few months. Look for it in March.
hmm... i wonder why i dont trust that link
I love this guy his energy and his voice. His character is an inspiration to me!! Great millions of thumbs up!
Mera del badsl de
TBH I almost cried but the light saber sound took it from emotional to awesome. What a voice. What a voice! No Paul Simon needed here, Alex Boye is a diamond who needs no shoes. He has heart.
This is... woah.... freaking amazing.

MY HEART MELTS!! GREAT JOB!!
Im screaming right now. This man and what he does moves me. So amazing.
Listened to a few of his songs tonight. Had a smile on my face the whole time. Visual, sound, acting, humor, all in one.
I love this edition.. Great effort!
this is absoulutly amazing!!!!!!!!
Can somebody grab me a bread because this is my new Jam
+Rajwinder Singhbal ok bro…That made me laugh out loud!!
Oh how he makes me HAPPY....makes me SMILE! AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME!!!
Those pipes my brother!!!! Miss you and your energy!
I re found you and I love your music I'm sub to your channel love this song and the frozen one
Oh other side I get it.
ohhhhh, so thats it!!
+Jonathan Ameh What he is doing in the storm trooper outfit is acting out the scene when Po and Finn crash their Tai Fight and he gets up heavily breathing
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH that makes so much sense
No it doesnt
+Stacy crane I understand
Hello from the Dark Side...I musta slain a thousand Jedis...
DukeFan1971 L O L
represent us AFRICANS Boye! You have really broken some walls for some shy Africans , you have brought up the music in me honestly. i'm a huge fan
Tell me I'm not the only one who was expecting him to say "hello from the DARK side"
Oh, because he's Black. I get it.
Batlokoa Samuel Makoro I'm sorry, I seriously can't tell if you're joking or not... 😅
A bit of both. It's a funny thought, but be careful not offend people at the price of a good laugh.
+Batlokoa Samuel Makoro Lmao No Because He's Doing A Star Wars Theme 😂😂
Hence the pun, mate
Anyone else here from the African let it go with that great little girl?
Annie Patefield ME #lateasf
Annie Patefield MEEE
I’m an African American and had a chance to meet him! It was so awesome
I also found out he lives around me
Subscribed already...Nigerian by the way. Go check out his (Pharell Williams cover of HAPPY).
I can't watch Star Wars the same anymore. I keep waiting for the white soldier to break out into song and dance.
well, there is that one game that shan't be named where you dance with Vader, Boba and the Stromtroopers
+Damjan Medur IM HAN SOLO! IM HAN SOLO!
IM SO SORRY
kwanda Ngubane Why do you call him "white soldier"? If you have seen the movie once before, then you would know his name is Finn, right?
McHaazelnutz you do know there's more to SW than Episode 7, right?
Damjan Medur Yeah but he said "the white soldier" instead of "the white soldiers". So I though he mean't the single soldier in episode 7 wich is Finn in this case.
Alex I love your music and the way you put videos together. Never stop singing and making videos period. I am hard of hearing and I am just blown away that music can sound like this just AWESOME!! ROCK OUT ALWAYS! NEVER STOP SINGING!!!
i love every bit of alex boye! the star wars theme was very cool too!
this is such a great video!!!!!
this is amazing!! you always do awesome work!! keep it up!!
+Natasha Tanke Thanks Natasha!
I die every time a light saber comes out 😂😂 but I love this 👏🏾
his voice is so AMAZING....I have no words for taht amazing voice😍 and I love his accent❤
This guy is a legend among the singers in the world. He's totally awesome.
Wasnt expecting much but Fuck i really enjoyed it.
Sorry guys, Adele is awsome. But I like this more for some reason.
we all have different taste it's fine to like this one more
Better than the original a thousand taaaaaiiiiimes!!
He played at my school today! It was awesome to have him here I loved his music so much! 🖤
I always cry when I hear all these covers and songs. Your so talented
a black african man covering an adele song with a strong swahili accent while dressed up like a stormtrooper. i mean it sounds like a big joke, but the production values are so high that it can't be...
i think it's really good, if unexpected.
and he is not even East African!😂
Strong Swahili accent? I happen to be a native Swahili speaker and you clearly haven't got a clue. Not a word in Swahili was uttered, I fail to see the connection......which makes it even weird because the singer is originally from Nigeria (West Africa).......one can only assume you've obtained your knowledge of Africa from watching Lion King.
+quietatse he's got a Yoruba accent, the previous person most definitely knows Swahili only from " hakuna matata " 😂
+marakesh t lol I figured as much.
This is WAY better than Adele. I personally think she sounds like a wailing banshee. You my friend got talent. Love the spoof.
lol
+William Eldridge Yoo, go easy with the roasting.. 😂😂
this was good 😲😲😲😍
Adele should have commented on this and congratulated you an award for this! It's absolutely amazing!
This is the best I've heard of ALEX! Perfect for his unique voice. Great stylization.
1.25x speed=club remix.
I love thank so much !!!!!!
you mad genuis :)
KEDAR RAMAN
So much better.
1,5 is better
Han solo from the outsiiiiidddeee
Don't know why it had to be Star Wars themed, but I'm not complaining
+Tomiwa Aina lol maybe talking about the "other side" as in the light and dark side haha
Brian ahhh true!
+Tomiwa Aina Probably surrounding the star wars hype, this video was released shortly before the force awakens, so I guess they were just thinking it would be cool to do a star wars theme along with it.
Know how he sang "The other side"? get it now?
+Sapphire Grant Please tell me what did he mean by "The Other Side" i still don't get it
Man this guy has a beautiful voice, unlike any other cover of this song I've heard. Awesome job my man!
Alex Boye you are such a dream singer God bless you and give you everything you want
2:46 thats me during reverent moments in life.
With a title like that how can you not click 'Play'?
Hello from the......DARK SIDE!!!!!!
I've been tired of hearing this song everywhere, but you sir bring a fresh new sound to it and I love it.
With you, everything is in sync:voice, heart, mind, soul....great alex.
Undoubtedly Great Cover , but am i the only one who doesn't find any a connection between this song and STAR WARS ?!?!?!?!?!?!?!
The Stormtrooper in Star Wars is black too.
+2016 Super hahaha
+Rafsan Zilani Perhaps he was translating the "Other Side" and "million miles"she refers to in the song into the distance of space. It's a stretch, but it kind of works. That--and it doesn't hurt to catch some of that Star Wars fever.
Neghie Thervil Understood but why the hell that LIGHT SABER ?!?
uh...because its a light saber! How dare you question the validity of the light saber? Without it, well...this whole video wouldn't make any sense!! Think of the confusion it would cause! Gots 'ta have the light saber dude. Point blank period. End of story. That is all she wrote.
