Malaysia Beatbox Challenge 2009

yea man...i took part in the 1st Malaysia Beatbox Challenge 2009 which was held in Rainforest, 1 Utama today which was in conjunction with the Indie Youth Fest.

arrived at around 1pm, registered myself and got myself this pass! =D




a whole lot of bands performed and stuff. Joon Ming and Seh Yung performed with their band which was awesome!

basically the whole event was awesome! met the other beatboxers which was really crazy, never experienced this before, with over 10 plus beatboxers at the same place same time, ok im being jakun-ed.haha. oh btw i was the only girl who joined this competition, i hope that's a good thing haha.

there was even a random moment of the organizer emcee lady who called out who can solve the rubiks cube n Shawn went out to the front and so did I , but they only had one cube so i beatbox-ed while he played, super random haha, but still cool cos we both got a CD for that haha.




so yea, we were split into groups of 4, a total of 16 beatboxers today, so 4 groups.the idea was that the judges would choose the top 2 from each group which would then be the top 8 beatboxers battling at the quarter finals. so all of us did a showcase of a maximum of 3 minutes on stage.

concept was runner up from group 1 wld battle group 2's winner and group 1's winner would battle group 2's runner up and same goes for group 3 and 4.

so the groups line up was:

group 1 : Shazet,Mr. C, M3 and Kimsng(me)
group 2 : Shawn, DJ Coex, CDQ and Tuxbonic
group 3 : MC Rave, Shane, Loi and Rhyme
group 4 : Nobita, Koujee, Abeatc and Doomic

so yes,thank God i manage to make it through the next round as the top 2 of my group was Shazet and myself.

my showcase set




top 8 was Shazet,Shawn,CDQ,MC Rave,Koujee,Doomic,Shane and Kimsng(me).

next round was to battle Shawn Lee, winner would go on to the next round which is the top 4,the semi finals. was supposedly 2 rounds of 1.30 mins during the 1 vs 1 battle but somehow it became 1 round of 3 mins. so Shawn went up first then my turn next.

sorry my camerawoman friend Jaclyn tengah bluring mode she didn't manage to record the first minute of Shawn's set.




Winner was Shawn! Congratz! i feel really privilleged to battle him even though i lost, he's really an awesome guy and a VERY WORTHY OPPONENT.top 10 in the world champs haha.

so the top 8 battles were:

Shazet vs CDQ. Winner- Shazet
Shawn vs Kimsng. Winner- Shawn
Koujee vs Shane. Winner - Shane
MC Rave vs Doomic. Winner- MC Rave

so there's your top 4,ppl!! they will be battling it out in the semi finals and finals on 17 October at the same venue. All the best guys! :D

i really had a lot of fun today meeting up with these bunch of guys. and i finally get a taste of a beatbox competition, obviously much more pressuring than a normal performance.gotta step it up!
