The only reason osis takes it for me is a continuously overlooked factor in julard, two of his most used sounds in this comp, the polyphonic voice, and the vocalized lip bass, both extremely badly pitched and not so clean. With other beatboxers this is something rather important and it doesnt make sense to me why hes been "let off the hook" his placements and power and cleanliness overall are great, but his soundset is strongly surrounded by these two sounds. Someone help me figure it out.
I don't know, watch D-Low analysis, he is probably the best for that and he give to Julard the 2 round on the final over Osis (He is a huge Osis fan), to me Julard just has 5/0 everyone normally (Only Kaji got 1 vote that is pretty weird actually and I loveeeeee Kaji), he just destroyed this competition
Yeah, of course Julard is a very technically skilled and powerful beatboxer and I do think his counters went a long way for certain judges. But beyond that I agree with you, I think the consistency issues and also just the general lack of artistry compared to other people in the comp wasn't taken into account enough. I don't really understand why judges are still standing up out of their chairs for him doing his 300th loud inward K snare in the final. It must have been ridiculously powerful on the night. But in video multiple of his rounds and his elimination especially just kinda feel like they have no drive or direction. Some big highlight moments for sure, and I guess those moments just came at the right times for the judges.
Just because he has the title doesn't mean he's the strongest battler out there😅 it was said by remix that event was favored for julard as the sound system works for his style no hate :v
decisions like going for kaji over wing will destroy beatbox industry, and we are going straight back to the era of messy, sound spammy beatbox that nobody besides hardcore beatboxers liked. We cannot forget that beatbox is an entertainment industry, and so beatboxing profit depends on expansion and attraction of the "normies", as you call them, even though those are people with regular music tastes that justifiably so reject messy, unstructured, spammy beatbox. Everyone can recognize good structure, clean performance etc. but only a few select geek over how many sounds one can make at a given moment. Great, I applaud that, but that'll attract very little people so the beatboxers won't have money, so we'll stagnate as a community as people will treat it as a hobby. I thought that with codfish era, the messy, spammy beatbox is on its way out but dang, will rewarding kaji's style take us back. I hope that I'm wrong but it's all about incentives, and rewarding something that everyone can jive with would bring beatbox to mainstream without losing anything as BEATBOX WAS ALWAYS ABOUT MAKING MUSIC, imitating music and not spamming messy noises. If normie says it's good, it's good; that means you have a talent for constructing a musical peace, regardless of the style and you sound listenable.
I agree beatbox that is generally pleasing to listen to is what grows beatbox the most. The only thing I'd like to throw in, is that in the case of Kaji, it may sound spammy but the actual hardstyle he is doing is actually quite popular in Japan and many other countries. I'm in the US and it is definitely very niche here, even in the EDM space but even so I think Kaji winning with his particular harder to digest style is less of a problem for beatbox overall than someone like Julard. All due respect for Julard's counters and power, but half his rounds are like anti-dopamine to a normie. Even as a beatboxer myself I find it hard to enjoy his rounds except for the counters and the final. If future GBBs are going to be decided by the power of an inward K snare I just don't find that very interesting 😅. I'd rather see a hardstyle demon like Kaji go all in with a Japanese crowd any day. At least you can feel the artistic choices he has decided to make.

even in the u18 he had the same

You can also see the Stitch reaction to the final, he was there live and said that on stage, it was 100% Julard

They may sound badly pitched but if he changes the pitch too much almost all his combos just wouldn’t work.
Julard, the beast we never expected who destroyed everyone on his path.
Just because he has the title doesn't mean he's the strongest battler out there😅 it was said by remix that event was favored for julard as the sound system works for his style no hate :v
Is he actually reacting to it?
@@kevinmoras6144 there's plenty of over reactors out there for you to watch instead
@@NewfieBBX bro even for the crazy parts theres no reaction from ur side
@kevinmoras6144 I react the way I react. I'm not gonna fake shit and over react. If I'm not your vibe then watch someone else 🤣
@@NewfieBBX based
