i've always been impressed with people that could really beatbox, especially when you're carrying multiple sound/tune combinations. shoot, i even own an album by rahzel, who had worked with the roots doing beatbox stuff. that album is pretty weak, mainly because rahzel moved away from what he was known for, and rapped.
so, when i saw the header for this video over @ boing boing today i knew i wanted to listen. i'm glad i did. this girl is freaking excellent.
don't hold it against her for cutting up a fergie song.
julia dales, a 17 year old canadian (candada? really?) will be competing in the world beatbox championship over in germany (npr told me so). she won a wildcard spot by sending in a youtube video to the beatbox battle online.
this guy finished third and is pretty dang good.
this spanish frog really impressed me but finished fourth.
you can watch second and fifth @ the link above, or not. whatever.

Rhazel never ceases to amaze me! These folks are pretty damn good, too! Good to see the artform is very much staying alive.
I can't even make a machine gun sound.
