Boki Ntsime - I’m Still Standing (Live at Sun Arena, Lexus Pop Classics 2023)

Crowd-lifting live cover with crisp band hits, big choruses, and audience call-and-response. Ideal proof for gala headliner bookings.

This four-minute live cut captures Boki in full front-man mode on Elton John’s “I’m Still Standing.” He opens over a tight rhythm vamp, then leans into the first verse with clean phrasing and a smile you can hear. The first chorus lands with layered backing vocals and hand-clap hits, setting the audience for sing-back moments.

Verse two raises the intensity; Boki starts to play with dynamics, dropping to near-spoken lines before popping the hook again. A short instrumental break lets the band breathe while he works the room, then the bridge kicks back to the refrain. The breakdown invites call-and-response, and the final chorus arrives with stacked harmonies, ad-libs, and a sustained button that holds the applause.

Shot at Sun Arena as part of Lexus Pop Classics, the performance mirrors the officially released live track and shows Boki’s corporate-safe polish and ability to lift a room fast.

High-energy Lionel Richie cover with tight band hits, big crowd engagement, and a clean, corporate-friendly finale.

This three-minute-forty-five live cut captures Boki Ntsime leading a crisp, radio-ready take on Lionel Richie’s “Dancing On The Ceiling.” He opens over a bright four-on-the-floor groove, then slides into the first verse with playful phrasing and quick side-smiles to the band. The pre-chorus builds on call-and-response claps before the hook lands: “Oh, what a feeling…,” packed with stacked harmonies and a confident top line.

Verse two bumps the tempo feel with tighter snare accents while Boki starts working the room, pointing sections and cueing claps without breaking pitch. A short instrumental gives guitar and keys space to sparkle, then the breakdown drops to kick and claps for a classic audience “oh-oh” chant. He layers ad-libs over the final double-chorus, holds a clean sustained note, and punches a full-band button to close. Shot at Sun Arena for Lexus Pop Classics, the performance mirrors the official live release and shows Boki’s strength as a gala headliner: quick lift, polished vocals, and effortless crowd control.
