  1. 0:00Hello. How are you doing?
  2. 0:02The day has finally arrived. I am back.
  3. 0:06I'm back to the battleing, baby. Check
  4. 0:10it out. Do GBB26
  5. 0:14solo elimination.
  6. 0:16I'll tell you a funny story. You'll like
  7. 0:18this one. You'll ask me for it. Sorry.
  8. 0:21Don't have it. Don't know. But I
  9. 0:24actually remember in 2021
  10. 0:29I made a wild card for GBB26
  11. 0:33in my bathroom at the apartment I was at
  12. 0:365 years ago. And I remember making a
  13. 0:38wild card just to see if I would still
  14. 0:41get in with the level uh 5 years later.
  15. 0:44Don't know where it is. Might be saved
  16. 0:46somewhere in a folder. I don't know.
  17. 0:48Don't ask me for it. Just thought I'd
  18. 0:49show you some fun news. Anyway, stop
  19. 0:51what you're doing.
  20. 0:53Let's sit back and enjoy this. It's my
  21. 0:56elimination.
  22. 0:58Holy moly. All right, we will rank this
  23. 1:01guy's walk out. We'll rank the
  24. 1:03elimination. We'll try to um that's
  25. 1:05going to be very strange, very hard. Um
  26. 1:09because yeah, I mean obviously. All
  27. 1:12right, I got a coffee here now. Original
  28. 1:15link in description to the vid. And I
  29. 1:18I'm going to ask you a favor this time.
  30. 1:20So, big love to all of you if you can do
  31. 1:23this and this kind of support means the
  32. 1:25world. In the description right now, a
  33. 1:27link to the official music video of this
  34. 1:30track. So, I have just released this
  35. 1:35song in a different light. I want you to
  36. 1:39pull up the tab right now. Just go and
  37. 1:42pull up the link and don't play it yet.
  38. 1:44Let's watch this and then you play
  39. 1:45after. But if you can just click that,
  40. 1:47same goes for it's out on Spotify,
  41. 1:49Apple, all of that. Go save it if you
  42. 1:52enjoy or just listen to check out what I
  43. 1:54put time into. You are legends if you
  44. 1:57did that, right? We're going to check
  45. 1:58this all out. Um, okay. So, pre-context
  46. 2:01before we get in. So, I am um first
  47. 2:05place wild card to get into this
  48. 2:08competition. So, I did a video entry.
  49. 2:10Uh, some people qualified through other
  50. 2:13live events. I qualified through a wild
  51. 2:15card because I didn't enter other
  52. 2:16events. Uh my wild card got first place.
  53. 2:20So because of that amazing feat, I got
  54. 2:23awarded with going right after Kaji and
  55. 2:26Football Street and all the other best
  56. 2:28wild cards. They put me last right after
  57. 2:32all the good ones. So that's my reward
  58. 2:35for coming first in the wild cards. As
  59. 2:38if the pressure of seven years returning
  60. 2:40wasn't already enough. Let's put me
  61. 2:42after second, third, and fourth wild
  62. 2:44card winners, right? Anyway, it is what
  63. 2:46it is. And then after me comes all the
  64. 2:48people that won entry in different live
  65. 2:51ways and other ways like pre-
  66. 2:53prequalified and stuff. All right, so um
  67. 2:57I am backstage. I have just done my crew
  68. 3:02seeding round with verbal damage, which
  69. 3:04you're going to see soon. And when I
  70. 3:06tell you that I had to
  71. 3:11re-calibrate my energy and it weren't
  72. 3:14the best time to get back on stage and
  73. 3:16do a piece like I'm about to. That will
  74. 3:18all make sense if you've watched my
  75. 3:20verbal damage crew seeding round. All
  76. 3:22right, I had to do that and then shortly
  77. 3:25after stand around for an hour backstage
  78. 3:27and then do this. So, it wasn't the best
  79. 3:29circumstance. I would have rather done
  80. 3:30it the other way for obvious reasons.
  81. 3:33That's fine though. Um, definitely just
  82. 3:36locked in
  83. 3:38doing the set in my head. I'm a little
  84. 3:40nervous to get in and check this out to
  85. 3:42be honest, but I'm excited regardless.
  86. 3:45So, no more to say. I I'll give you my
  87. 3:48thoughts. What went wrong? What didn't?
  88. 3:49Whatever. Um, and yeah, let's just enjoy
  89. 3:52it. All right, cool. Let's get there.
  90. 3:54So, um All right. I've got my rankings.
  91. 3:56Let's go.
  92. 4:00>> Pass me
  93. 4:02around. Bang. Bang. Bang.
  94. 4:06Oh, that's kind of badass, ain't it?
  95. 4:08That's kind of badass.
  96. 4:11Jeez, look at that standing point at the
  97. 4:13end. Oh, where do we rank this?
  98. 4:19Cuz I'm just a typical western bloke.
  99. 4:23I like I wanted to put I I'm going to be
  100. 4:25honest. Here's my list. I actually I
  101. 4:27wanted to put this top and I am tempted
  102. 4:29but because I ain't got that like
  103. 4:32Japanese anime swag like Kaji does.
  104. 4:35[laughter]
  105. 4:36Do I go second?
  106. 4:40Yeah. All right. I'm going to go second.
  107. 4:42[laughter]
  108. 4:43All right. I got the second best walk
  109. 4:44out yet.
  110. 4:45>> Is on you.6
  111. 4:47grand beatbox battle right here. Lavin
  112. 4:49war.
  113. 4:50>> What am I doing? 2026 grand beatbox
  114. 4:54battle right here. laughing.
  115. 4:56>> Ah, do you know why? That's cuz I'm
  116. 4:58checking to see what minute I'm at and
  117. 5:01then just in case I need to see how long
  118. 5:03I've got left. That's crazy work. AND I
  119. 5:05ASK, ARE YOU READY?
  120. 5:08[cheering]
  121. 5:09>> I SAY THE THREE, Y'ALL SAY THE TWO AND
  122. 5:11THE ONE. LET'S GET IT IN THREE.
  123. 5:15>> Come on. Come on.
  124. 5:17>> I don't mind if you don't care about
  125. 5:19[singing]
  126. 5:24I don't mind if you don't care about me.
  127. 5:31That's all right.
  128. 5:41>> All right. Just a little thing uh on
  129. 5:43this intro singing. I can see like three
  130. 5:45pitches are like a pitch away. So, a
  131. 5:48little bit pitchy in the intro. Um
  132. 5:52I don't have to guess. That's weird. I
  133. 5:54don't have to guess what they're
  134. 5:55thinking. Oh, that's so weird. It's me.
  135. 5:58Um I I it I didn't even um feel like a
  136. 6:03blunder in the moment. So, I guess just
  137. 6:05not the ultimate precision. Things like
  138. 6:07nerves and focus are playing a part here
  139. 6:10to catch me off in pitches a bit. I
  140. 6:13would say
  141. 6:18I don't mind. Oh, if you don't care
  142. 6:22about me, that's all right. Oh, please
  143. 6:26don't judge me. You don't
  144. 6:33I don't mind if you don't care about me.
  145. 6:39That's all right.
  146. 6:43Judge me.
  147. 6:46Judge me. Judge. I like that. [music]
  148. 7:04Where's placements? Listen to the high
  149. 7:06hat placements again. The precision.
  150. 7:22[music]
  151. 7:26Ah.
  152. 7:30>> [music]
  153. 7:37[music]
  154. 7:43[music]
  155. 7:48>> Yeah, I'm locked in now.
  156. 7:54You [music] don't want know me.
  157. 8:18>> [music]
  158. 8:22>> Not the best pitch there.
  159. 8:35Oh,
  160. 8:37well happy with how that sounds.
  161. 8:39Oh, yes. Sorry, I had to rewind. Oh,
  162. 8:43this sounds great in the drop. Oh, I'm
  163. 8:45so happy. I'm so relieved.
  164. 8:50[music]
  165. 9:01>> [music]
  166. 9:02>> And the ice, the race.
  167. 9:17Ain't no color.
  168. 9:20[music]
  169. 9:37Okay, this is a switch. Brutal switch
  170. 9:40now.
  171. 9:49That's fire.
  172. 9:52Yeah, the base
  173. 10:01[music]
  174. 10:09the flipping
  175. 10:11so easy.
  176. 10:15[snorts]
  177. 10:18Couldn't get out there.
  178. 10:34[music]
  179. 10:40>> That's all right.
  180. 10:43I'm brave for ending on a vocal.
  181. 10:47That's all right. after four minutes of
  182. 10:49non-stop.
  183. 10:52Okay, there it is. All right, I don't
  184. 10:55want to see the breakdown of the scores
  185. 10:57yet um because they're not fully in my
  186. 10:58head memory of where I rank for people.
  187. 11:01Um okay.
  188. 11:03Uh I have to say up until the
  189. 11:12I love it. At that point, it was
  190. 11:15supposed to be better going into the
  191. 11:17wild card. You know, it's a hype wild
  192. 11:18card. It just won first place for this
  193. 11:20comp. But the the uh crucially the the
  194. 11:24sound wouldn't come out. So, the whole
  195. 11:27rest of it was great. It's just the
  196. 11:29which is the most like the the hit the
  197. 11:32impact sound. So, at least the rest of
  198. 11:34the beat was great. So, it didn't it
  199. 11:36wasn't that awkward. It was just the
  200. 11:38bass didn't come out, which is a
  201. 11:40definite thing to penalize score down
  202. 11:42on. Um, I also don't like the abrupt
  203. 11:46switch here.
  204. 11:48That should have stayed long. Not this,
  205. 11:52but I noticed that frequency came out
  206. 11:54really good in the middle of the no
  207. 11:56color drop. I go
  208. 12:00and that came out great. So, I used it
  209. 12:03at the end there. But ideally, I should
  210. 12:05have rolled out that final progressive
  211. 12:07drop.
  212. 12:14No, keep
  213. 12:24rag. Something like that. Possibly would
  214. 12:28have been a slight better touch on it.
  215. 12:30All right, let's break this down a
  216. 12:31little bit more then. Let's get into
  217. 12:32this. Let's get into the details and
  218. 12:33I'll tell you more. So,
  219. 12:38>> go. All right.
  220. 12:41I don't mind.
  221. 12:45>> Right. Good. Good.
  222. 12:48>> Little VB on the end.
  223. 12:51>> Good.
  224. 12:54One pitch too high.
  225. 12:58>> Kind of. So,
  226. 13:01please don't
  227. 13:03judge me.
  228. 13:17I needed a bit more confidence there.
  229. 13:24Uh, so I'm a little bit shy. I'm a
  230. 13:26little bit shy in myself here. Um, not
  231. 13:28like there's 3,000 people and faces in
  232. 13:31front of me anticipating one of the
  233. 13:33biggest returns you you've seen in
  234. 13:35Beatbox. Um, so yeah, I have to say I
  235. 13:38definitely didn't enjoy this as much as
  236. 13:41I wanted to because I've been able to
  237. 13:45enjoy the whole process of getting ready
  238. 13:47for GBB because I didn't um I didn't put
  239. 13:50the pressure on myself. I am what I am.
  240. 13:52I am as good as I know I am. Um, and I'm
  241. 13:56just happy to enjoy this project. Uh,
  242. 13:59but and but then there's a lot of
  243. 14:00there's a lot of talk and a lot of
  244. 14:02preanticipation and a lot of external
  245. 14:05pressure and people feeling the pressure
  246. 14:08for me in a in a way. All of that I
  247. 14:10didn't feel until I was on the stage and
  248. 14:12I went, "All right, now we're here. Now
  249. 14:14it does matter." You know, for me it
  250. 14:16don't matter. all these weeks and months
  251. 14:18I'm just having fun with life locking in
  252. 14:21thinking of all the battle tricks and
  253. 14:24all the sets um and having a good time
  254. 14:26but when I get to the stage then I will
  255. 14:29say one of the uh the cons to that then
  256. 14:32is then it kicked in this does matter
  257. 14:34okay
  258. 14:42[music]
  259. 14:43>> you know this part please please there's
  260. 14:46a upgrade now in the track. Uh when you
  261. 14:49check out the actual tune, go check it.
  262. 14:50There's a upgrade in the pronunciation,
  263. 14:52the beat rhyme in there.
  264. 14:58[music]
  265. 15:07Very smooth. Very happy. Sounds full.
  266. 15:09Really happy about that. Proud. Very
  267. 15:11proud of how full I sound on the mic as
  268. 15:13well.
  269. 15:15>> Them neck curls have been doing their
  270. 15:17thing. That meticulous acoustic training
  271. 15:21has been doing its thing. That
  272. 15:22thickening of the body has been doing
  273. 15:24its thing. That precision, that lock in
  274. 15:35I [singing and music] love this.
  275. 15:43And then this. So, this is a bit like an
  276. 15:46illusion sound. You know that old uh
  277. 15:48that that meme thing that um Laurel and
  278. 15:50Yanny, it's kind of like that a little
  279. 15:52bit with my bass here. Check it out.
  280. 15:55[groaning]
  281. 15:56Right. So, it's a two-tone thing, isn't
  282. 15:57it? There's h. And now when you hear
  283. 16:01this this chord that comes in, you can
  284. 16:04either hear it in its two cord uh two
  285. 16:06pitches making the chord or you might
  286. 16:09only hear like one pitch. So tell me
  287. 16:12what you hear in the comments. Listen,
  288. 16:16you either hear
  289. 16:18or you hear
  290. 16:21and if you don't hear the chord, listen
  291. 16:23again and try and hear the chord. Okay.
  292. 16:33>> [music]
  293. 16:36>> I love it. I'm really proud of it.
  294. 16:42[music]
  295. 16:49[music]
  296. 16:55Yeah.
  297. 16:58precision
  298. 17:05>> again the the singing pitching is not I
  299. 17:09don't know guys actually I don't know
  300. 17:11why I've lit I've done shows like for
  301. 17:14the last couple of years and I've done
  302. 17:15way better vocal uh vocals on the mic
  303. 17:18than this I tell you what it is clearly
  304. 17:20and obviously it's the context isn't it
  305. 17:22it's the pressure it's the the hyper
  306. 17:25focus just the over focus potentially.
  307. 17:28Uh these things are leading to my vocals
  308. 17:30being a little bit restricted I would
  309. 17:33say. So not the best uh the cleanest
  310. 17:36vocal performance from me unfortunately.
  311. 17:38Uh but that's fine. It's true and it's
  312. 17:41real. I'm not the best technical
  313. 17:42vocalist. Um but I am an improved one.
  314. 17:45So it is a bit annoying that my singing
  315. 17:48didn't reflect how good it's got
  316. 17:50compared to how it used to be as much.
  317. 17:52Like back then it was there, now it's
  318. 17:54here. But in this it was probably back
  319. 17:56then is there, now it's only got to
  320. 17:58here. I'm better than this vocal take.
  321. 18:00That's what I'm trying to say. Um, but
  322. 18:03that's okay. Like I say, I'm proud of
  323. 18:05it. It's real. It's raw. So,
  324. 18:08I'll take it. I've got to be better.
  325. 18:15>> I'm still happy with it.
  326. 18:18Now we got this like side chained kick
  327. 18:20effect in the in this body base.
  328. 18:36It's
  329. 18:42I feel like Yeah, the the vocals feel a
  330. 18:45bit loud. I could have um they're gonna
  331. 18:47have to be pitch perfect if I want them
  332. 18:49to pierce through so well there. So um
  333. 18:52yeah, I wouldn't score down on it, but I
  334. 18:55wouldn't call it a particular upscorer.
  335. 18:58Um I remember this last pitch was
  336. 19:00slightly worse than the other two. The
  337. 19:01first two there are quite fine.
  338. 19:04I love that. [music]
  339. 19:07This one.
  340. 19:11Here we go.
  341. 19:14All right.
  342. 19:25I listen, I don't know how you feel
  343. 19:29about my set or this part. I can tell
  344. 19:32the crowd was really liking this bit.
  345. 19:36But don't get me wrong, they didn't go I
  346. 19:39mean, I thought there'd be a little bit
  347. 19:41more craze in this moment, but I'm still
  348. 19:44happy with the amount of love that it
  349. 19:46was given, but this is my right up my
  350. 19:50street, my style, my type of beatbox,
  351. 19:53and so of obviously my preference is I
  352. 19:56love this and I'm so happy with this
  353. 19:59part.
  354. 20:03So [music]
  355. 20:05listen to that. So happy this bit went
  356. 20:08out so well.
  357. 20:23Ain't no color.
  358. 20:31Yeah, man. Ah, dynamics. I love it
  359. 20:36because of the dynamics.
  360. 20:38And then we talked about this going
  361. 20:40forward. So, the F switch, good idea in
  362. 20:43in context. And the progression was
  363. 20:45fine. Like, I went into the uh wild
  364. 20:47card. It was very hype. The buildup felt
  365. 20:49very nice. The drop was pretty good,
  366. 20:50too, but it lacked the wow. Okay. So,
  367. 20:57and then decent end in there just to
  368. 20:59bring out a bit more.
  369. 21:01>> Um, I have to say I would natively, if I
  370. 21:05was trying to be an impartial judge,
  371. 21:08this would be in my high end.
  372. 21:10I would have this scored high. Um,
  373. 21:13ceiling was slightly higher because I
  374. 21:16would have this pretty damn high as wow.
  375. 21:19But then I would as a judge score down
  376. 21:22on the pitch precision uh and the inward
  377. 21:25base not coming out. I probably lost a
  378. 21:27spot I would say from the the inward
  379. 21:30base not coming out. That's how I would
  380. 21:32judge. I feel like it's not it doesn't
  381. 21:34warrant not going down a spot and it
  382. 21:36definitely does not warrant going down
  383. 21:38loads of spots from a bass alone. So
  384. 21:40maybe a spot for that. And also if
  385. 21:42pitching and singing is going to be so
  386. 21:44prominent in the set then it has to be
  387. 21:46done at a high standard. and it was done
  388. 21:49at a midstandard. The pitches are great
  389. 21:52and that was captivating. That's what
  390. 21:54makes the song captivating in my opinion
  391. 21:56is that the choice of pitching and the
  392. 21:58way that the progression of the uh
  393. 22:01pitches go along the set. Um, so I liked
  394. 22:03that, but it's going to have to be done
  395. 22:05really precise and I do think that that
  396. 22:07can also warrant a score down. So
  397. 22:11here's my ranking so far. Now I I feel
  398. 22:16comfy as with my ranking here. So
  399. 22:19definitely uh there's my list there. So
  400. 22:21we got Footbox at the top, we got Hippie
  401. 22:23at the bottom. For me, it very simply
  402. 22:27and definitely slots right in that gap
  403. 22:30there between Kaji and Exalos.
  404. 22:33So it's not uh really close to Kaji and
  405. 22:37Footbox for me there. Right up there.
  406. 22:41Um, it's probably closer to Exalos who
  407. 22:44killed it. Uh, I just think that the
  408. 22:46theme of my set was so strong from start
  409. 22:48to finish. So, it currently sits in
  410. 22:50third, but without trying to give out
  411. 22:53too many spoilers, there are a lot of
  412. 22:56good um, eliminations coming. So, my
  413. 22:59rank is definitely subject to change.
  414. 23:02Um, but yeah, that's where I sit right
  415. 23:04now and I'm really proud of it. And it's
  416. 23:08a very strange phenomenon to get my
  417. 23:13stuff critiqued and judged. Um,
  418. 23:17so
  419. 23:19yeah, let's see how the judges scored
  420. 23:21it.
  421. 23:24[cheering]
  422. 23:24[applause]
  423. 23:31Thanks to everyone that was there for my
  424. 23:33return, by the way. Cheers to everyone
  425. 23:34in the crowd. Um, a lot of people, we
  426. 23:36did the vlog and a lot of people, it was
  427. 23:38captured by Sam who vlogged it. Big up
  428. 23:40Sam again, by the way. Um, and a lot of
  429. 23:42people at the event said that they came
  430. 23:45for me in particular, which
  431. 23:48so thanks to anyone that did come out uh
  432. 23:50with that anticipated moment in mind.
  433. 23:53And same for anyone watching on the live
  434. 23:54stream and just showing support. It goes
  435. 23:57such a long way. There is no part of my
  436. 24:01career that I have never
  437. 24:04appreciated the support. I came from a
  438. 24:08underdog position. I came from nothing
  439. 24:11and I rose to the point I could through
  440. 24:14just dedication, man. Like, and it's not
  441. 24:19it's not foundationally sustainable
  442. 24:22without you guys. So, it's for you. I
  443. 24:25hope you enjoy what I do and I
  444. 24:27constantly try and find ways to change
  445. 24:29it up and and deliver what you might
  446. 24:31want to hear. And I appreciate the
  447. 24:34support, even the critiques, everything,
  448. 24:36guys. Like, say you say, I'm here for
  449. 24:39it. I'm happy to hear it all. Uh,
  450. 24:41appreciate it. So, ranking. Let's see.
  451. 24:45Come on.
  452. 24:50[sighs]
  453. 24:52Whoa. Wow. Okay. So, seventh overall out
  454. 24:56of 20.
  455. 24:59It's fair, isn't it? I think that's
  456. 25:01probably quite fair. Um, we're going to
  457. 25:03hear more to see the whole story unfold.
  458. 25:06Um, let me look at this. Yeah. Okay,
  459. 25:10cool. So,
  460. 25:13this is the this is the biggest
  461. 25:15fluctuation I've seen so far. No, is
  462. 25:18that Yeah. 12 places? No. Uh, sorry, 12.
  463. 25:22I'm being crazy. Sorry, eight. Sorry,
  464. 25:24I'm an idiot. Stop. Eight places
  465. 25:27fluctuation is a lot. That's an entire
  466. 25:30top eight in between me and one judge
  467. 25:32and the other. So, uh, we've got the
  468. 25:35height being third place and the lowest
  469. 25:38being 11th place. Okay.
  470. 25:41Um, I mean, I designed my elimination
  471. 25:45after being I've been on the judge panel
  472. 25:47for years, so I kind of know what I've
  473. 25:49built to rank, you know? So, naturally,
  474. 25:52I'm more inclined to get in a higher
  475. 25:54rank, obviously, unless I was really
  476. 25:57upset with my performance, then I'd be
  477. 25:58happy with the people that scored me
  478. 26:00low, which everyone's rank is fair. But,
  479. 26:02I did a pretty solid job there. So, I do
  480. 26:05resonate a bit more with the third place
  481. 26:07than I do with the 11th, but I probably
  482. 26:10resonate more with those middle
  483. 26:11rankings. Seven, seven, and eight sounds
  484. 26:13pretty fair. Um, third, I can see it for
  485. 26:19uh reasons such as like the composition
  486. 26:21has a start to finish theme. And there
  487. 26:23was probably
  488. 26:25high
  489. 26:26uh precise moments inside the set that I
  490. 26:28think Skiler may have appreciated. I'd
  491. 26:30love to hear. Um, 11th bottom half.
  492. 26:35That feels rough. That feels rough to
  493. 26:37take. I have to admit. I do have to
  494. 26:40admit the bottom half after hearing
  495. 26:43these are limbs. I'm in the bottom half.
  496. 26:46I wonder I did chat to I've chatted to a
  497. 26:50few of the judges about a few of the
  498. 26:51things like Wing picked up and mentioned
  499. 26:53to me that he didn't like the pitching
  500. 26:55in the uh
  501. 26:59so I did hear that and that's a fair
  502. 27:00critique. Um what else was there? No, I
  503. 27:05haven't heard I don't think I've heard
  504. 27:06much about any of my limb from any of
  505. 27:08the others actually. I can't remember
  506. 27:10anyway. Might have had a small chat with
  507. 27:12collapse. Not sure. Um, I want to know
  508. 27:13why this was bottom uh half for ZD. Um,
  509. 27:18I'm in for the other four judges. Um,
  510. 27:21and I did to be honest with you guys. I
  511. 27:23got a lot of mixed feedback after this
  512. 27:25live. I remember a lot of people said,
  513. 27:28"Yep, good job done. Not the highest
  514. 27:30rank, but you're going to be safe." Uh,
  515. 27:32I had some people saying, "I don't know
  516. 27:33if this is in." Um, and my own feeling
  517. 27:36was I was probably playing a bit of a
  518. 27:38risk in the end. This set wasn't really
  519. 27:42designed to be that risky. I will admit
  520. 27:45I didn't build this a limb to win the
  521. 27:48first place. This was not the reason.
  522. 27:50Um, if I wanted to do that, I would have
  523. 27:53stepped up and I would have gone crazy,
  524. 27:56you know. Wow. Like this. Whoa.
  525. 27:59Now, I also think that I suffered a
  526. 28:02little bit with the overdog or I don't
  527. 28:07know the word for it, like the opposite
  528. 28:08of the underdog. I'm the hype one, the
  529. 28:12big name, the favorite name, whatever it
  530. 28:14might be. Um, a lot of pressure and with
  531. 28:17a lot of pressure and a lot of
  532. 28:19anticipation comes a massive
  533. 28:22expectation. And to be honest with you
  534. 28:24guys, to be really transparent, I've
  535. 28:26tried to sit and figure out what went on
  536. 28:31the wrong side with this one. And I
  537. 28:33haven't really comfortably settled that
  538. 28:36yet. I don't know.
  539. 28:39But what I can say is I do think that
  540. 28:42that expectation mad. I think the only
  541. 28:44way I was going to live up to the
  542. 28:47expectation
  543. 28:49was to go my hardest.
  544. 28:52And another thing is wow is a lot of
  545. 28:54these people that have came here to
  546. 28:56watch this event, the ones that have
  547. 28:58came for me anyway, they might not have
  548. 29:00heard much beatbox live. So they may
  549. 29:02have been expecting me to sound like an
  550. 29:04alien human compared to the other
  551. 29:06beatboxers. And that's not the truth.
  552. 29:08dynamically I am great. I sound really
  553. 29:10good on the mic. I sound full and you'd
  554. 29:12put me at the top echelon of the
  555. 29:13sounding on the microphone, but that's
  556. 29:15the point. There's other beatboxers
  557. 29:17there that have dynamics that are even
  558. 29:19better than mine in other ways. And um
  559. 29:21we all have a big there's a whole
  560. 29:22spectrum of it and I just I just fit in
  561. 29:25with the good ones. Um I'm not an
  562. 29:28exception for the microphone and uh
  563. 29:30stuff. So probably a high expectation
  564. 29:34was only going to be lived up to if I
  565. 29:35turned up there and went for domination
  566. 29:37first place attack. Um something like
  567. 29:40what Footbox G did. He gave a massive
  568. 29:44amount for that limb and he reaped the
  569. 29:46benefits because for me I have to admit
  570. 29:49boxes was exceptional and as you can see
  571. 29:51it sits first for me. Uh this was a full
  572. 29:54rounded piece. I feel like the aim was
  573. 29:57to score like three was the aim. So I
  574. 29:59wanted to be third. I was preferred for
  575. 30:01one judge. Um, not sure I agree with
  576. 30:04that. I do think I was lower in the end.
  577. 30:06Um, probably because things didn't hit,
  578. 30:09but then it wasn't really intended to.
  579. 30:11Imagine that landing at the end. Imagine
  580. 30:14the inward base impact bang at the end.
  581. 30:17Probably would have boosted my rank in
  582. 30:18general. But anyway, this is all an open
  583. 30:20subjective art form. Did you enjoy my
  584. 30:23piece or was you disappointed with me?
  585. 30:26Let me know. You aren't going to offend
  586. 30:28me. I'm really happy that you're all
  587. 30:31here and I'm really happy to hear your
  588. 30:33thoughts. Let me know if you think I
  589. 30:35fumbled the bag. Let me know if you
  590. 30:37think this is your favorite alim that
  591. 30:38you've heard or your favorite set. Tell
  592. 30:40me I was Do what you want. I just
  593. 30:42want to hear. I love the comments. I
  594. 30:44love the activity. Um I'd love to hear
  595. 30:46your thoughts. Which judge placement
  596. 30:49seems right for you. There's three
  597. 30:50options really, isn't there? But yeah, I
  598. 30:52would say to for this to not be in would
  599. 30:55have felt harsh because the score
  600. 30:57there's two score downs I mentioned but
  601. 30:59there is big score ups like the theme of
  602. 31:01the piece like the the the arrangement
  603. 31:04the structure of the song start to
  604. 31:05finish and uh the varieties felt really
  605. 31:08strong the the it felt all identifiable
  606. 31:11as well and of course naturally original
  607. 31:13because I use a lot of original material
  608. 31:15in my performance.
  609. 31:17Yeah. Whoa. What a yap. Uh, it means a
  610. 31:21lot. It's not like I've thought about
  611. 31:22this all year or anything, guys.
  612. 31:25Yeah. So, that's my thought on it. Um,
  613. 31:30what I would have changed, um, I would
  614. 31:33have reminded myself how important it
  615. 31:35was to lock the pitches in, which
  616. 31:38slightly harder to hear on stage, isn't
  617. 31:40it? I mean, I've got front monitors, but
  618. 31:42it's not perfect to hear your pitching.
  619. 31:44Not as perfect as in- ear headphones. So
  620. 31:46probably that maybe I should have done
  621. 31:48some training in condition where I can't
  622. 31:50hear me doing pitching. So more like
  623. 31:51muscle memory. So I would have locked in
  624. 31:53with pitches. I wouldn't have changed
  625. 31:55anything in the set in the song set the
  626. 31:58song part. [snorts] Um and then I
  627. 32:01wouldn't have rushed the final 15
  628. 32:03seconds. I would have seen it out to be
  629. 32:05honest. So that's what I would have
  630. 32:06changed. Um and of course if I could I
  631. 32:09would have changed my inward base coming
  632. 32:10out better. I think that was a factor of
  633. 32:13stamina a little bit, but more so the
  634. 32:16nerves and then therefore my throat
  635. 32:18being quite dry. Um, and not being able
  636. 32:20to get that base out, which was also a
  637. 32:22problem in the other eliminations in the
  638. 32:24tag team and the crew. So, my in base
  639. 32:27didn't work on all the eliminations,
  640. 32:29which is not ideal. Now, it's time. I
  641. 32:31really hope if you guys made it to the
  642. 32:33end, appreciate you. Please go check out
  643. 32:36the release. I'm so guys, I'm so proud
  644. 32:39of the song. And I've got to be honest,
  645. 32:43this song, this set is way better than
  646. 32:45what I did in the Olymp. Check it out.
  647. 32:47And hopefully I can show you why I think
  648. 32:49that the potential was higher. Go check
  649. 32:52out the track. Go save it.
  650. 32:55All right. Thanks for that, people. Go
  651. 32:57and have a good one. See you for the
  652. 32:59next. That's all right.
