@ZG HUNTER he played Aaron Burr in Hamilton the Musical. Aaron Burr and Hamilton were known to have... Quite a lot of disagreements... Which basically led Aaron to kill him during a duel. Which is why this person made a Hamilton ref, saying the dislike was from Hamilton

I am genuinely wondering how he didn't hit it big with his musical career. Like, it's so stupid that he's not one of the, if not THE, most well known artist(s).
LESLIE...REPPIN WITH *MY* COUNTRY?!!! LESLIE AND MZANSI??!!! God, you've been listening to my prayers? Excuse me while I just go onto my balcony and cry tears of intense gratitude.

@@johannaflorez2899 I cried, too. Black people need a voice. It made me so happy to hear this. Black people singing together. Black Lives Matter, ya know?Black people need more of a voice. And their voice... Their voice was so strong here. It was truly inspirational.
When you hear music and see videos as this, it's hard to fathom that there are people who don't appreciate different cultures. Thank you Leslie for this beautiful rendition.
Great to see traditional African music! This pairing is excellent!

Incredibly beautiful, played it like 40 times today no joke while sewing masks for covid. Lord I needed this. Bless these children for their love of music and sharing it with us :)
To the one person who disliked this: Are you okay? But this was fantastic, I love this version and the video!
I love everything about this song and video. The arrangement and colors. Just beautiful and rich to the eyes and senses.
Oh my goodness Leslie thank you for this blessing to my ears lol-but actually, thanks! I'm de-stressing and taking a break and relaxing w/ this song
Ohhh ... I so love this. Their voices were phenomenal. Their smiles were enough to brighten any dark day. This was beautiful ❤
WOW! What else can i say? Every thing about this rendition is phenomenal!
Beautiful...putting on the Playlist for next year. Bummed I didn't see this earlier 😕
Got Black Panther/Lion King on Broadway vibes from this. Friggin beautiful Leslie. Always blown away
I enjoyed this rendition from the first time I heard it, and I enjoy it even more with this video! Praise The Lord!

It was just... It was amazing! I have, like, no words. The choir, Leslie Odom Jr. himself... It was all just mind-blowing. No if, ands, or buts.
Armchair Expert Holiday Spectacular brought me here. And I am so very thankful!
THAT VOICE! THE HAIR! THE LOOK! THE THEME! EVERYTHING AGHH❤️
I love you Leslie 🥺💗
Rich people will never know the Joy of being Human.
My Africa your voices❤️❤️ from 🇰🇪🇰🇪 we love you
The Little Drummer Boy is one of my favorites for it encompasses just what the spirit and meaning of Christmas is. Mr. Odom you did a fantastic job and the choir!
Oh the perfect Little Drummer Boy!!!!! The world will find you....❤
African voices and beats are the BEST 🥰🥰🥰
The soloist in the choir is incredible. Love this so much
You killed it Leslie,... you know can't nobody rock like the Africans!!!
To the 11 thumb down shame...AFRICA sings you listen...REWIND 10x already!
That is a Power Song. Beautifully sang.
When I first listened to this song, I was deeply moved. The Mzansi Youth choir made this song so special. I will be listening to this song even when Christmas is over!
This is one of my favs on the album
I do sing but whenever I watch this video I feel real music in me.
This just gives such pure joy. Homage to the King in another language is always a great thing to hear
The greatest singer/actor of our times. Great love from Kenya
All my life I've hated this song. And now, thanks to Leslie and the choir, I love it. (Or, at least, their rendition.)
Leslie! Thank you for this version of The Little Drummer Boy. I absolutely abhor the original because it drove fear into me as a child. I dig your version, Leslie; I truly dig it! The blending of languages is so beautiful to hear.
Mzansi represent! 🇿🇦👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I get chills every time I hear this. So beautiful 😍
I’m really mad bc ppl is under rating him even in Hamilton they never talk about how good is acting is or his bus or his dancing and they under rate his music I’m just mad at this point bc it’s ridiculous. I also like how they r smiling
Black Excellence @ it's best. This is and has always been my favorite Christmas song.
For Jesus ❤ this is 😊Awesome
I just found this song and his channel. I love him. how I just found this???
Yesss!! Leslie is finally singing one of my favorite songs!!
ok, why this is so underrated?!! life is unfair. I hate life.
I feel like this is the way the song was meant to be sung. So beautiful!
An amazing vocalist ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ LESLIE ODOM JR can sing anything !
OMG!!! That Brother's voice is a gift from our Afrikan ancestors, simply speaking, he has the voice of a gOD! And that choir...they are the Heavenly Host! 😍😍😍
Je ne fais que contempler tous ces jolies sourires waouh ❤ ça chauffe le coeur.
Sing Sis!!! Sing Choir!! Sing Sir!!!
Gorgeous ! The pride in culture in this is beautiful
Goosebumps
This is BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I did not expect visuals for this album. As if I couldn't love this song more. What a gift!
I don't know why but the culture of africa is beautiful and this brought tears of joy to my eyes and this was beautiful
