Robin Second Round Lyrics 9:10 Hey, don’t get me wrong I’m not the one you thing I am All the words I hear are all distractions All the sounds I feel are inspirations Hey; this is the end You shouldn’t put a foot on my land No one here can have evil behavior Right here I’m the only one predator Cuz I am the lion! A wild animal I am the lion (A foot outside the verse? Idk what he said here sooo) I am the lion, the lion The lion, the lion All I want to save is my redemption All I want to spread is imperfection Cuz I am the lion!

[@kaiderhai86]

I would say its You "just" put a foot on my land. And the line no one understood sounds like:"I think(or a foot)outside the box." (Referring to his creativity with every round)

@@mihailgeorgiev8635 The first round mix is how the genre of music he's creating should sound like. the main focus of the music is the electric guitar and drums

[@mihailgeorgiev8635]

Understand that but the difference between quality of performing and mixing the sounds still goes to Thorsen(2016). The difference between level of sounds recorded on loop station and live beatboxing is to big. We also cant see progression in Robin rounds he just build up something and finish with it. It's a beautiful music and singing but this is not enough for loopstation battle. Loop skills, good mix and compression are minus point not bcs Robin, bcs other loopers out there who can do it better and one of them win the competition.

For those who don't yet know, both Robin and KBA qualified for GBB. Whoever goes into the finals here will be put under even more pressure to perform here and also prepare for GBB. They'll literally be recording their last tounds and then likely flying out to perform the very next week. I feel most for KBA, who has little over a month's notice to prepare. But I know he'll still kill it. But that being said, we are likely to see these two perform head to head onstage next month!!!

Finally found the words to describe how I feel about this battle. KBA did a really good job at doing something that already existed but in a new way. While it's cool, it's not new and it feels like anyone could learn to do it because it's mostly technicality. Robin's rounds have soul and emotion that cannot (and was not in KBAs second round) be replicated. The originality and feeling Robin's rounds present are overwhelming musical and powerful and this is why Robin wins for me

As proof, he's the only person in the semi final who is only using 1 device, everyone else has 2-4 and they still don't sound as good.
