ZVD 🇺🇸 vs Alem 🇫🇷 | Florida Beatbox Battle 2024 | Semifinal 2

[@florianstreb5145]

Alem is insane, but for me, ZVD won! ❤

[@CZARDOOM7]

zvd had pretty much perfect execution here, his combos are so nice to listen to on stage. while i will say that i think zvd beatboxed better here, alem has such a great way of connecting with the crowd. yes, i know he's been doing this for over 10 years, but tiger shot gets me pumped up every time, i cant help it. this goes to zvd for me, but man what a great battle

[@smittybeats]

If only he didn’t mess up the spit snare timing and power during round 2 2nd drop.. Alem being the savvy veteran he is, knew at that point he just had to have a clean round in his style to win

[@KarmaRinchenTamang]

Perfect execution? Several tempo mistakes in first round and the second round was better but he used that spitsnare too much wholeheartedly..

Big ups to both competitors here because they both did great! Personally I feel like ZVD took this battle but no discredit to the legend Alem!

[@poedim_da_vipyem]

bro, this decision of the judges shows that arbitrariness can happen in battles. Judges can do whatever they want, and do not bear responsibility for their mistakes, continuing to referee battles. in football, a referee is removed from his job for an erroneous decision, but in beatboxing, everything is forgiven to the referees. Shield, gather together the entire American community and make a video message that you want these judges to be removed from work. You can do it, don’t forgive them for it. otherwise they will continue the chaos. Here the winner is ZVD and all of us commentators support him!

[@skraldegang3089]

@@poedim_da_vipyem The only problem is that football has certain rules that a referee can enforce, whereas a judge also has to account for subjectivines, live perfomance and crowd work. you gotta remember that being in a stage filled with raging audience help differ your opinion.

Glad to see I'm not the only one thinking ZVD should've won that, no disrespect to any of them but putting judges where their beatboxing styles are very old school seems definately biased towards someone such as Alem. Alem had the Energy and Quickness, ZVD had a checkmark everywhere else.

[@andymiles2089]

I said it before but there is a serious problem with judging in beatboxing where the judges automatically vote for the guy with the bigger name regardless of performance. I'm seeing so many younger beatboxers getting screwed over because of bias towards the older guys.

[@Mr.Pro-aksh26]

It's not bias, it's the structure. ZVD spamming double voice in second round made it really really really weak and unoriginal to me, and weak.

[@tioneb61]

What you say makes no sense whatsoever for many reasons but let me give you one: if what you said was true then Alem should have won the whole thing this year, napom should have one the whole thing last year, footboxg should have won the whole thing the year before .... Napom should have won gbb last year then, I can go on and on. What you see on a battle video is far from what you feel when you're in the crowd, it's really easy to become an expert behind a screen. But crowd control, live power and sound precision are things you can only measure live. You can have your opinion of course but doubting the honesty of a judge panel full of champions is disrespectful AF, I'm not saying this to you only, I say this to all the "experts" out here. Last thing: was pacmax a big name before winning a bunch of stuff, NO, was zede famous before becoming world champ, no, was Pe4enkata a legendary name before building her legend, no........ Do you need to build your own legend before becoming a Real judge, yes! Peace

unpopular opinion but I actually think Alem beat Osis. But after this battle I really think the judges need to put more things into consideration. Sure Alem had the crowd but that doesnt mean his beatboxing was better, crowd control is just one thing in a battle and Alem had more things over Osis in their battle such as technicality and execution which is why I think he deserved to win that one.

[@StamNickolas]

ZVD won this. He had the pitch in tact, new sounds, a much bigger variety of sounds, cleanliness in all of his sounds and he has his own original style which is quite rare in the scene how it is right now. Alem, as a master of technicality and crowd pleasing, here he did nothing new. The variety of his sounds was very small and of basic level, whilst ZVD's sounds are much more complex and difficult to make. The judges seemed to undeniably choose the crowd pleasing and "battle" behaviour of Alem over ZVD's pros, but the level of his characheristics in these 2 rounds were undeniably much more important and worthy than Alems'. This analysis comes from 14 years of beatboxing knowledge and from a former beatboxer as myself (former Greek Vice Champ). Congrats ZVD! Keep up with the new styles and sounds! And remember, pitch is the most important thing if you want to move the beatbox scene steps further..!
