      This video randomly came to my mind. I remember watching it a milion times, being keen on beatbox in 2013 at the age of 10... I was beatboxing every day, practicing it all the time..I forgot about the concept, and reminded myself of the great moments through videos once again, 8 years after...I also listened to dubstep and skrillex.. It is great to remember the vibes and everything..

      @cutie5028 5 лет назад +88

      Or perhaps it’s because you can learn the content of an educational video and have no reason to return, whereas entertainment videos can be returned to on several occasions.
      Especially considering that music is much more complex in our minds than a well explained theory. The whole reason you get songs stuck in your head is because your brain views it as an unfinished task.
      For example, you would probably listen to a song you like many more times than you’ll come to reread that little fact I just said, because you’ve already read it and have no reason to return often. You’ve already taken in that information.

    What I love most about this is that beatboxing is probably one of those things that is just noise and weird for an older generation, but due to the implementation of sounds that mimic actual instruments, he showed them that it is really mindblowing and funny. At first you look into the crowd, see a few unimpressed faces and think: "Oh this is not the right audience"
    But I think this is literally what this Ted "talk" was about. To show it to the wrong audience and make thema ppreciate it.
    And the cheers at the end speak for themselves!

His actual skill, more specifically his ability to very accurately mimic various instruments, combined with his ability to control the pads and add that factor, along side his presentation skills and persona, makes me unsurprised he’s the most viewed ted talk. It’s normally hard to make beatboxing interesting and captive for more than a minute or two, but his totality of talent makes it a pleasure.
