Disney Needs you...

[@mw2538]

Lion king must be about ready to do Australia again and this guy would be so good for it. Or Hamilton!

[@phathong9514]

Indeed ^^

[@shubhamsagar3343]

Henry Olonga knows how to use the 'pitch' very well

[@DanceswithHyenas]

I see what you did there! His delivery, as always, was outstanding and well paced!

[@angelolacroix7517]

That's kinda gay

[@anastasiaclark1105]

haha

[@ykderien124]

😁😁

[@user-dm2hr3qk9l]

@@angelolacroix7517 yeah but does it matter. In this day and age everyone can be as gay as they want. At least in the internet.

[@fariehudson185]

Sounds like some Disney animation character singing at the climax of the movie! Absolutely wonderful 👌

[@Mordhereck]

That's because the song its from Jekyll and Hyde musical xD

[@susmithkumar7142]

For those who don't know : he single handedly thrashed India out of the 1999 cricket world cup!

[@DanceswithHyenas]

Hat-trick! I am from Zimbabwe; I remember alright!

[@borngeek]

@@DanceswithHyenas Every Indian who watched that game remembers his name. Used to hate him as a kid but then grew up and respected him because he was a champ. Wish Zimbabwe cricket becomes what it was in the 90s.

[@lachlangmbh8947]

Guy Sebastian was nervous and insecure. He can't press the button. Lol

[@itsjemmabond]

Huh?

[@AlokChaudhary-nx6mg]

Later after 36 hours , sachin beats Zimbabwe alone scoring 140 off 90 balls and india won in 30 overs only 0 wickets , he said in interview that it was to beat olongo he showed overconfidence, hah , sachin is god of cricket , he showed him confidence and then face it. Also regret later in interview

[@avantikarathore7843]

LUV FROM INDIA🇮🇳🇮🇳 1999 WORLD CUP HERO😍😍♥️♥️♥️

[@manishKumar-qd2by]

Villian for indian

[@michelemaurer7468]

No fancy vocal tricks. No yelling. Just well-produced & supported vocals. So good to hear a quality voice & poised performance. .

[@blueboy1543]

In my opinion, this is the best audition thus far

[@hamdahmed3207]

Blueboy 15 lol no. but I respect your opinion

[@alifkm2]

No. Search for alexender panayotov the voice russia. And the luna tu the voice audition i forgot the name

[@blueboy1543]

alifkm2 what? I said that this was the best audition at that point in time of that season of the voice Australia last year. That has nothing to do with any other season of any other country

[@gobardhanhalder8960]

*best fast bowler of Zimbabwe.... legendary singer also* 😍😘😍

U broke stumps, bodies of batsmen by ur fast bawling and now u r hitting hearts with ur golden VOICE....lots of love from INDIA 🇮🇳🇮🇳😘😘keep it up

[@fitzorpercy2884]

This *was* the best moment.

[@hayleysebborn1195]

Henry you were absolutely outstanding!! Fly our Zim flag high! I'll be watching from Darwin and supporting you every step of the way! 🇿🇼

[@nigelmarodza3792]

Ok he's a Zimbabwean???

[@seeamerica1]

He doesn't need any coaching why is he on the voice if not to show off his own ability

[@vaw796]

nigel marodza He was the first black cricketer on the Zimbabwae team. It sounds crazy putting that when it's a country in Africa. In 2003 and he and another team mate, who is white, wore black armbands to show their protest at Mugabe being in power. Henry had to move to the UK due to death threats and quit after Zimbabwae played in an international tournament. He moved to Australia and married his Aussie wife in 2004.

[@drfilhobarreiros]

your country disowned him...

[@tanakacraigkaseke5368]

[@MyLoveIsPink1]

Get this guy on the West End or Broadway ASAP!!!

[@jeffwilson7100]

Vegas. Could have his own show in a heartbeat

[@thecraftist]

He was the fastest bowler in Zimbabwe.

[@freerudite]

Yaay. A former cricket player doing such a performance.

[@Settingz385]

Wow i didn know that! Thks for the info.

[@borngeek]

@@Settingz385 he used to be a very good bowler, he single handedly won a game in 1999 for Zimbabwe against India. This is the reason every 90s kid in India remembers his name because he shattered million of dreams with his great bowling.

[@imviiku]

No indian can forget this Guy #Sharjah

[@mupamombe373]

I see a lot of people say that,,what did he do???

[@lifekmjj1]

Wrong. No cricket lover can forget this guy. Period.

[@arunray542]

Wow! I was a kid when I used to see him fast bowling and now this, after so many years!!! What a come back!!! Love from India.

[@anandnavneet340]

Henry olanga Zimbabwe cricket fastest bowler, now he is singing amazing.

[@varrt2079]

When he bowled that over in 1999 cricket World Cup that knocked one of the strongest team India out of the World Cup that had three batsmen ( sachin, ganguly and Dravid) in the best form of their career , little did I know that this guy can break stumps and bowl people over in music too

[@susanmellor5823]

Goosebump moment

[@DericMDube]

Old Prunitian. What a voice, take a bow Mr. Olonga 👏 👏 👏

[@garethbarry3825]

Ad Definitum Finem

[@taxol2]

Wow Henry! You remind me of Michael Ball / Anthony Warlow / Robert Cuccioli singing this song. Yes, you deserve up there among them!

[@nomuraamraa8588]

Lyrics: This is the moment This is the day When I send all my doubts and demons On their way Give me this moment This precious chance I'll gather up my past And make some sense at last This is the moment When all I've done All of the dreaming Scheming and screaming Become one I won't look down I must not fall This is the moment The sweetest moment of them all This is the moment Damn all the odds This day, or never I'll sit forever With the gods When I look back I will always recall Moment for moment This was the moment The greatest moment Of them all

[@abhijitdeo1800]

Henry Olonga OMG . One of the best bowler of 99 world Cup wow. Happy to see you Legend. Another one lost in time is Niel Johnson

[@yangerjamir0906]

I hope Zimbabwe comes out of it's current mess stronger and better. Mugabe really did destroy your country. Feel sorry for the citizens of Zimbabwe.

[@JaceyMitchell]

Wow what a voice! When I wrestled this was the final song I listened to on my headphones in the locker room before I went to warm up. The ultimate motivational song. "This is the moment / My final test / Destiny beckoned / I never reckoned second best" Words for any athlete or performer to live by.

[@chanelx5325]

The first moment he opened his month my buzz was the like button
