Comment hidden because you are ignoring dag. (show it anyway)

I mixed guitar, voice and some mouth percussion - I learned all my fresh beat boxing techniques from the Fat Boys in 1986. So ... yeah. >> ^Crake:
^do you just loop your voice, or record other stuff as well? whistling plus tumble-dryer plus microwave oven ding ftw!

The beat boxing skill is somewhat questionable but considering he's using one hand and an iphone to do things that from every other looping vid I've seen took a veritable army of devices... well that's just damned cool.

This is The beat boxing equivalent of this

This isn't beat boxing, it's called throat singing. Very impressive stuff. Needs some honing, but it's a lot better than most I've heard. Great find!

He kicks in near the end with a little beat-boxing! This guy is awesome!

Might help to have headphones to fully hear the cello strumming.

I thought the singing was great, but the beat-box was distracting. A cappella is a celebration of the human voice, and the arrangement of the song needs to clear away the clutter of poorly imitated instruments.

Yes, there are beat boxers who are absolutely amazing in their skill, but in this instance all it said to me was "we weren't allowed to use a real drum set, so we had a guy fake it".

Title misled me. Her oral skillz are unknown. Her beat boxing skills are average, except she is a moderately attractive woman, stop that presses. [insert more sarcasm here if needs be or less if that suits you]

Exactly. She gets all this credit because "omg, a beautiful girl doing something manly!" These aren't out-of-ordinary skills and as I said - women shouldn't do this, because it just doesn't suit them. I know I will get downvoted by white knights who get no pussy anyway.


Beatboxing is manly? Certainly doesn't rank high on the manliness scale among things like cutting down trees, lighting farts and wrestling bears. And women should do whatever they want, regardless of what people think. Except for when it comes to shaving. That's an eternal 'must.'

Just awesome stuff. Not only some nice beat boxing, but then a great tune, great singing and great performance. A+ (Yes, I'm handing out report cards.)

My wife was watching some of mtv's online video offerings, and when I compare what is showing up as popular on that site to things like this guy and Imogen Heap it makes me wonder what the hell is wrong with the world (or at least the US, but I assume the problem is more widespread). How can absolute talent voids like Britney Spears and her ilk warrant anything but derision when compared to actual musical ability and creativity?


Because talent isn't something that can be sold and marketed as well as sex appeal. Hope this guy goes far, he can beat box circles around most of what I've seen out there.

Ouch... and I thought my beat boxing was bad!
