I wish I would have been that self confident when I was 16. This boy is gold.
His family did and are still doing a good job raising him đđŸ Heâs so polite, full of life and much more. I enjoyed the video
The best out of Zim and indeed Africa to the world.
He mà kes grañdma heart fill with joy
DONEL has the WHOLE package, the looks, the moves, and the voice! Years later I watch this again and still smile.
I first watched it in 2022 and here I am back in 2023 watching it again!
Yes he is the whole package
That's how African grandmother's hype a boy upâ€ïž
If you write in my channel please I also sing English my dream and become a great singer
Not only African Grandmotherâs. Thereâs many grandmotherâs out there that hype there grand kids up.
@@andrewochoa5405 Mines didn't.
V thatâs really fucking racist Iâm sorry but it is
Yhoo philile you can say that again mara this kid making isizulu/isindebele international
Can we appreciate the band they were just soooo prepared when his grandmother started dancing
Theyâre wonderful
They are definitely a crop of church band boys.. definitely..
Escuche mal?
Ok, I'm a 49 year old sworn metal head and even I can see that this kid is special. His talent is off the charts and then throw in the fact that he is a good hearted family oriented person on top of it. I hope this kid sees all of his dreams come true.
He really did it allâŠso full of love â€ïž you are blessed đđđ
I am watching this for the first time it came up for me on CZcams and I am thoroughly thoroughly enjoying watching this this young boy is amazing, he is a gift from God đ
Awesome
Ok I think it's his ragae n his accent
Youâre a lovely person and very right!!â€â€â€â€
âIf you pick me you have me for how ever long you want me in your lifeâ coming from Wil.I.AM has to feel like words from heaven to a young artist.
AGREEDâŒïž â€ïž
Exactly! This was a match made in heaven! Styles are so parallel that no other coach would be able to do him justice.
Yes yes yes so I feel like this was definitely a match from heaven and Iâm looking forward to seeing and hearing from the two of them working on awesome music together đđ„°đ
THIS IS NOT A RACIST STATEMENT!!
But Black Ppl are so AWESOME!!!
đ€yes we are

#allpeopleareawesome

Yes we are
When she said,"I love my grandson.He's so polite,I'm telling you."....(that's when I found out that I loved her )
Oh my poor donel didn't win but you a star you gona far

He knocked it out of the park in the battles. He is a star and always will be. I'm delighted for him, his Grandmother and for Zimbabwe.
Gma gave me tears
Me too! And I got in tears my floor was full of water I slipped on it too!
He brought the African soul into his performance. Nothing like it. It LITERALLY grabs your own soul and wonât let go. Iâm so proud of him. Heâs a star and a wonderful, wholesome young man. Very proud. Heâs made Zimbabwe and Africa proud. â€â€â€
Watching this in 2024...still enjoying D's energy... anyone with me ..

This young man is going places, lord keep him covered! He is so humble!
and is so cute!!
His dance move must come from his grandmother! I love how true he stays to his culture
Thank you for representing our Zimbabwean cultureâ€â€đżđŒđżđŒđżđŒ
I think he inherited the dancing from his grandmaa
True that đđđ
đ
ABSOLUTELY đŻ
Lmbo yes yes I agree
Beloved, I don't know you in person but God knows you. God ministered to me in a revelation when I was on your profile to see things around you,I saw blessings but spiritual attacks holding onto them,in prayers,i saw a woman in the realm of the spirit monitoring and plotting delay in your life, with an evil mirror, and with a motive to destroy. But as I speak to you now her time is up, Render hand of favour with Anything you can afford or give to these motherless foundation (GOD'STIME MOTHERLESS FOUNDATION) in kebbi state nigeria before 2DAYS with faith, as I Rise my hands towards heaven and pray for you they shall serve as point of contact wherever you are, you will receive double portion of grace to excel and total restoration of breakthrough in your life and in the life of your family. Ask for their acct details and help them call the MD in charge of the orphanage to get their details on (WhatsApp or call them now on +2347057027676) tell him I sent an you. For it is not by might nor by in power but of the spirit saith the lord (zechariah 4:6). You shall testify to the Glory of God in your life God bless you
can we just appreciate the fact that he adds his native language in all his songs in the voice and outside
Never forget your roots
The language is isiZulu from South Africa
Awesome, simply awesome đđŸ
@@simphiwewewe9064 it's Ndebele from Zimbabwe
I figuired it's Ndebele from Zim because he mentioned the grandmom being from there and him having lived there
Heâs the total package. Looks, stance, voice, energy, etc.
This guy is full of soul â€true âïž
I think his vocals are terrible. How he made it this far is unbelievable.
Just not that good
But where he now?? Yo I'm curious
Donel did not win the VOICE UK, , but signed a contract recently with Warner and Sony. Congrats
Thanks for the Update
Thanks so much for the update!
Oml thatâs incredible
K
Such talent he will make it big for sure â„ïž From another grandma â„ïž
They realise he's bigger the just winning the voice. He's free to soar.
Couldn't say it any better (Word)
Felicity Brooke MY HEART JUST DROPPED UNTIL I RAN ACROSS YOUR TEXT. đđœ
That's EXACTLY what I thought early on. "If he didn't win, it's because they want him to be able to soar. There's not much influence Will can have if he's under contract with The Voice. That young man is made to do what he does. Definitely a STAR!
He is BLESSED..
Govgyi
His grand mother is such a wonderful support. " know you can do it" "don't panic"
i love her
Some people are just born for greatness... he's a natural born starđđč
If you've been raised by a grandmother/great grandmother this TOTALLY hit different for you đ
Yesss I'm tearing..I miss my GRANDMA
For sure devoted great grandparents are absolutely special n they give you their all during yr life n theirs forever .I had that all from a tender age.unforgetable love
Caring always.
Izzymk.Aussie
She definately brought on the tears!!!
I miss her so much.
@@MrSexydivas đ€ So grateful!!! đ€
he's not just a singer, he's a performer!
Go my boy Zimbabwe has got talent i love you sony,you have bitten all the odds we are so happy for you and Zimbabwean people at large
I agree, and that's really tough to find. You don't see singers with the whole package too often anymore.
Agreed
Thatâs what makes a star a STAR ...the gift of talent and performanceđ„° đ«
I was thinking the same thing
Grandma has some great dance moves. I loved seeing her and his whole family supporting him. Lovely family. He is great kid. The whole package.
The best grandma ever
To the person scrolling through the comments, I hope you have a Blessed day.
Thank you, belovĂšd
Me I had seen a 16year old grandmađ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
Same to you
Ty n u tođ
Thank you! He is so phenomenal I had to scroll! His grandmother is priceless! He is truly a gift!
When he began singing in his native tongue. I'm like THIS GUY! Like wow
He's absolutely amazing
That is Zulu
@@dianagumz2628 Thank You
Brasil?
Wowwwwwwwwww
Boy oh Boy! I got goosebumps! This kid is a superstar!
It's 2023 but I'm still watching this and still get some goosebumps đ€
Everyone needs a grandma like her. She's so proud of him and loves him deeply.
I so much love seeing his grandma there with her grandson he was a â before he went on this show. bless him and his family
Yassss.... had 1... God loved her best RIH MAY 2011 such a blessing to have a grand with this spirit..lives within you forever â€
And he loves his grandma too.wow
@@scooksey7572 .kkkkk
In my heart:. He WON. The end.đđđ
Bellaluz he didnât win, my goodness, heâs great, cute, sing, dance. Heâs the full package.
FACTS! â€ïž
Right He was ROBBED...they could have done a better song selection... I believe he was in his head too much and wasnât as free with his performance as he couldâve been...his eyes were a tad empty looking maybe fatigue or nerves
@@MarshaT.ZoeLiving I felt that with the last two performances. In his head ... not present ... not feeling it. But we haven't heard the last of that young man.
Marsha T. The final performance is usually not as prepared for as the others and is usually mainly focused on âthe voiceâ which is why he lost in the end because ended up being a better singer. But had they had performers and set production and all that, he could have won
This boy is really talented and the judges are so heartworming they are amazing
Yes that teen is truly talented.
Oh myâŒïžâŒïžâŒïžâŒïžThis kid... his voice...his charisma...his performances.... he has the TOTAL package! Praying for his success
Love how he remixed the lyric's with some Zulu words there, South Africa approves
Ayanda.a. Nomane ndebele
I thought he's S. African from mix music
Ayanda.a. Nomane hayi yisi ndebele leso đ„ł
I also thought his a south african coz i hear some zulu words his gud waooooo goooo zim đđđđ
Ndebele not zulu kkkkk so talented
Thatâs the same grandma that will smack you with her sandals because you didnât do your dishes
lol tru
Lol
Not only you didnât do it but it wasnât done well scandalous indeed I miss my grandma đ”
đ got that right
đđđđ
The boy is a full package, gogos support is so great and amazing, he is blessed to have such a supportive family.
This young man looks like he's been doing this for a long time. A true born natural. He's current and has the whole package. The music moves him just like it moves grandma.
"he is so polite i'm telling you,he's well behaved and he's doing well in school" is the most african thing ever!!
Kambuku __ đ„°đ
Honestly
The discipline from African parents
Straight facts đđđ
Ok he's handsome, respectful,hard working, talented and humble that's it I'm going to Africa to find a husband because all of the good ones here are already taken.đ
@@ranitagadling4312 speaking as african man in africa... That's great idea! lol
Can we get some love for his dad? The way that he looks at his son. I'd say Donel got some moves from his dad, too!!
Hello Wendy!
Iâm so sorry for infringing on your privacy, how are you doing today?
For sure
Very talented he will go far!!
I saw that, too, and the utter joy in allowing this moment for his son to shine without infringing. And Grandma, well that bond is for LIFE, that is his ROCK. Little brother, Malachi will have a lifelong example and friend in his big brother and in the beautiful way the family displays love, support, courage and respect â€
@@lovemymuzic1 Yeah you're right you can say that again, hi how are you ?
Grandma really gets down the groove đ she is awesome!!
That pride that his grandmother has is so touching.
To the person scrolling through the comments , I hope you have a great day.
Lol thank u you also....good one
Landon Buchanan right back at you
Well thank you. You toođđŸ
Landon Buchanan thanks
You are so sweet..thank you. You too đ€
his grandma is so adorable when she says âand heâs doing well in schoolâ like sheâs so proud of him itâs great . old people are great
Thank you đ€Ș
We are seniors of age not old people.
I love his grandma and him
Thank you and AMEN đ
The grandmother still all the show, the dude self things he's all that, which not
Love the bond between the boy and his grandma. It reminds me of Trevor Noah and his late grandma. Go đżđŒ.

black beauty
For the first time
Still watching in February
Yeah still on it, February all the way.
black beauty Iâm đ„°
He's having concert not competing..đđđđđđ
Right I felt like that too. Seems like once he shuffles his feet, it seems as if he just takes off.
I agree
faith Abigael oh yeah right ! LOL oh yeah oh yeah dumb dumb oh yeah dibity- do- dab
faith Abigael this is about winning a contest not about the country or state or town youâre from geez oh Pete you people!đđđ€đ„șđ€Șđ€Ąđđ„Žđ„Žđ„Žđđ
@Phan Nguyen Africa is a continent with many countries. Africa is not a country, however.
This kid is definitely one in a million - SUPERSTAR đđ AND Will - still got it!!! đ„°
Don't know how many times I have watched this. Fantastic family support and love. Massive talent.
What I love about him is how he stuck to his originality. Didnât even try to change his accent to fit in. You could hear his culture and background in every note and thatâs what made him stand out. I love him so much and pray he has the most outstanding career. Iâll pay to watch him perform any day anytime.
I GOT GOOSEBUMPS đ©đ©đ©
Yes, that authenticity is part of the vibe. If he comes to the U.S. I think he will really find success here though.
I love when he sings in his langage it's so original
agreed......
amazing kidsđ
amazing voiceâ€ïž
A2
The fact that he didnt win the voice breaks me he 1000% deserved to win, but he still won all of our hearts thou love you broo
I found it odd that Donel didn't win. He was by far the best talent. He increased the ratings and drew a following .
@@khaldowns.fakhouri361 exactly, he was robbed đ
I agree 100% but nothing will stop him. He is too gifted.
What did you do to propel him?
Listen. My heart fell when he didnât win. I was waaaay to involved on this journey đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
This kids a star straight up heâs got it all good lookin kid talented crazy good voice stage presence and heâs a family driven respectful young man. I hope this kid gets a record deal from someone if he hasnât already
Someone posted he didn't win the voice UK but he did immediately get signed.thats awsome
â@@MostAdmired67 I believe it was in the middle or somewhere around the time of this competition when he was tapped to perform for the QUEEN. He sang his version of HAPPY. Check the time/date stamp of the video here on CZcams.
The way he sang in Zulu was amazing..didn't even know people in Zim knew Zulu amazing
The other 2 judges were like "well, we don't have a chance in getting him" đ
They didn't even try the old never said nothing
@@creativedesignofinteriors3139 you noticed that too right?? đđ
They didn't even try!!đ€Ł Four judges were supposed to try to convince him but it came down to two before the other two could even speak!!đ€Łđ€Ł
Hahaha right
They knew so they just sat it out..đđ
Whose still watching this in Aug 2020,Sending you love all the way from Zimbabwe mehnn!!Wish you WeLLđżđŒâ€

You made us proud bro, Zimbabwe to the world đżđŒ
Love ya!
ABSOLUTLY LOVE the rendition of HAPPY!!! FLAVA on that song, the excitement!!!!
Worth your money to watch his concert. What I like with his song choices is that he's able to fuse seamlessly the African beat / sound with hip hop. Definitely a total performer. This guy should be signed.
WHY NO ONE'S TALKING ABOUT HOW CUTE HIS LITTLE BROTHER IS? đ„ș
Very cute
Yes the little brother is cute just like him
