Aiken, Clay - Proud Of Your Boy Lyrics

The perfect voice for this song!

When the music swells at 1:34 after “I know but” is my favorite part of any Disney song ever

“Proud of Your Boy”
Music by Alan Menken
Lyrics by Howard Ashman
Performed by Clay Aiken
Orchestrations by Danny Troob
Conducted by Michael Kosarin
©️1992, 2004 Walt Disney Records

Before the mother was taken out of the story due to pacing reasons and the focus was on Aladdin himself, at least Proud of Your Boy was a song Howard Ashman really brought out as heartfelt and provided a moral lesson about a grown kid trying to make any parent proud other than just be seen as a burden or a lost cause.

I love you mama.❤️ I will make you proud of your boy

On my God! Clay Aiken used to be my first crush when I was 4 years old. I remember my cousins and I rewinding my VHS just to see him. 😂😂

I remember watching a behind the scenes about this song. Everyone choked up talking about what this song meant to Howard Ashman. It seems that his parents didn't "approve" of his sexuality.

Anybody else disappointed they didn't find a way to put this in the new Aladdin movie?

The Reviewing Network yes I searched this just to see if anyone felt the same way. Such a sadly missed opportunity

Maybe they'll put it in the sequel.

I love you Mom,as a child's proud of your 👦💗

Beautiful. Absolutely beautiful

Can't belive they delete this from aladin😕but you did well with this song😃

Well believe it,it's s sad 😢Song for all Son's and Mother's love!

This is like the mirror version of Reflection from Mulan both speak so much to the desperation and despair of the vocalist

Sam Sanchez Mulan and Aladdin two equally wonderful Disney movies

Gavin mcginness Sent me here!

#FlashbackFriday I was sent here by Adam Jacobs version from the Aladdin OBC recording. Been a long time since I’ve seen this video. I was actually 11 when it debuted on Disney.com now I’m 25. Beautiful orchestration

Just watched a disney deleted songs video, and their crappier "rough draft" version reminded me of this awesome version!

Auto tune glitch at 0:43

No glitch. This is live and Clay doesn't ever use auto tune.

For some reason, "Proud of your boy" is kind of similar to "Part of your world".

321SPONGEBOLT I never thought it that way before. Not to mention they both have the same composer and lyricist.

Very very nice

I love this song. It really identified Aladdin’s pain and despair because of his mother sees Aladdin as a thief and she keeps says Aladdin what have you done! and stuff. I owe my debt and my gratitude to Howard Ashman who gave this a deep sorrow and inspiring passion through Aladdin’s point of view and his mother just to be proud of him just like every parent wants to be proud of us for what good gifts we’ve got. I love this song and i hope it will get better in the live action remake. We’ll see. It might not be in there but God and Disney only knows, it’s not our job to answer that until it gets there. Fingers Crossed! 🤞😬

Thomas Dollins I’m cautiously excited for the remake and it’s the only one of three live action remakes I am looking forward to in 2019. But I’m desperate to see the Broadway version first

Thomas Dollins I take back what I said the remakes of Dumbo and Aladdin were equally wonderful.

Eu amo Aladdin.

This is my #1 Favorite Disney Song!😂

Love Clay -this song is sung with such feeling

No Wanks! Proud of your boy!

love the song clay did great with this song

I recorded myself doing this song and I'd love to hear some constructive criticism, good or bad!? If you're interested, please check my profile. I really appreciate it! ---- I did it more in the style of Aladdin, not as a pop singer.

Right? Who's the idiot that decided to take this song out. I mean this song is GOLD. Someone seriously screwed up by taking this song out.

FirstTenor76 Aladdin's mother was originally going to be in the movie and this song had something to do with her. But after Howard Ashman's death, they had no choice but to take her and the song out of the plot and make the story more comedic since the Three Disney movies before this were dramatic enough.

See Chris Smalls reply, but it was really after Howard Ashman's death that they decided to take the song out

Chris Smalls That actually sounds fair enough to me. And while we are at it, I prefer Aladdin over Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast.

GREAT song! And I love Clay's performance of this.

he sings this so well!

Out of a voice of a Son's 💘LOVE

Gah, I cry every time I hear him sing this song... It's such a beautiful song, and Clay sings it so well.
But hey, Clay Aiken could sing the phone book and make it sound good.

The real DollarStoreWhore didn't post this. DfyingGrvity4Good accidentally posted under my name.

Good stuff!

Yeah I know. I've watched the special features on the dvd thousands of times. Haha.

Aladdin's speaking voice was Scott Weiner. Brad Kane was Aladdin's singing voice whenever "Al" sung in the movie.

Not this time.

allan menkin was the man....it was to bad about howard ashman...this was his song....

and its a song, it doesnt need correct grammar

I love this song

his voice is amxing is it the same voice from the film ???

politically incorrect?
don't you mean grammatically?

I don't think it was politically incorrect. It was just how a child thinks their parents are perfect, and he doesn't think he is yet. :\

Perfect!

You're right. I DON'T now you. I DON'T know if you're "famous" or not. But I was just saying, if you're going to diss Clay, I think you should be able to sing the song better yourself before you say anything. Or at least say what you think could've been better. Just saying someone isn't good, is a waste of everyone's time.

That doesn't change the fact that his voice is amazing.

hes cute but in a nerdy type way...lol

So true. I only found out about it after watching the special features on the special edition Aladin DVD.

you right he should do music for disney and it goes with his looks too :D

Fourth comment here: I love this song. It's great, and I think it's a shame that so few people know it.

i love u clay. i know u're nt perfect but, u're the closest human being to perfection.
