[okebaram]

Wait till he crosses adolescence now before you put hopes on that range LOL

[daddywarbux2007]

dude listen to how clean and quick his runs are...thats SICK!

[okebaram]

Hey you foolish people and kids who are making stupid comments on this video, you need to stop your nonsense, stop hating and if you have nothing else to do, take a nap! This is not about how much you are jealous of the kid, or what school you go to. It is about his work with Kirk, and the glory of God. Cheleb, you ought to be spanked for the comment you made.

[shonise7]

shut up that was nasty theres some adults that cant touch that

[ganjasky]

lool 3:10..he acts like a plonka...hahah

[beatricebell23]

Im from Milwaukee,wi 2 wow who know milwaukee had someone that good around.

[gek538]

WOW,, good voice!

[musiqD]

i heard some nikki ross runs!!

[neshadevon]

I love this song and I can totally relate cause my dad was not around much when I was growing up. It took me almost 23 years to realize that even though my natural father was not there for me- my Heavenly Father has always and will always been there. Young Donovan please realize the gifting and annointing that Your Father has placed in you through your voice and know that it is given for his glory. May God keep and guide you and grow you up in His plan and purpose for you.

God Bless

[blondegirl96]

DONOVAN GOES TO MY SCHOOL!!! hes in my art class and all of a sudden, he would break out singing!!! hes good at singing but it gets annoying when he sings all the time

[bbdblue]

[coolest07noevac]

[fantasticjayz]

Hey Kirk the song ig is the best bro all your songs are cool but the part that donovan sings whe he says "nobodys going to take me down" pumps me up i listen to that song every time i go to the gym and it pumps me up.Me and my older brother grew up without our dad becouse our dad past away when i was like 1 and my mom got maried again and that didint go so well but our mom kept us in church and i am surpriesed she did that becouse me and my older brother are hard headed lol

[maggee45]

Do your thing donovan! your new song is burning up my system right now. kirk, you did it again!!! I'm a youth pastor in Minneapolis and over 70% of my young guys are growing up without a father. The song is a call to arms for our community. Thanks for the alarm!

[tib1389]

The boy can sang!

Check out Traci Collins as well!

[prayerwarriorprod]

Kirk Franklin definately made a wise choice in picking up Milwaukee's own...Donovan Owens to be on the new project! Donovan is so humble and deserving. If Kirk doesn't sign him to a deal, somebody else will definately be reaping on that harvest! LOL!

[yogurl123223]

[crct1969]

A Whole Nation with Donovan Owens is awesome powerful voice would have never known he was only 11 years old. Much Success Donovan!!!!

[jljministries]

[dvaughhs]

[mavfan911]

In a world where people only see the kids that are killing each other and failing out school and getting pregnant,it is good to see that there are a few of us kids, teenagers, and young adults that using their time and talent for the kingdom. Good Job, Great song. Keep doing it for Christ and remember your heavenly father is always there with you. Good job lil dude. Keep it up as us young folks are getting prepared to change the world for the Kingdom.
