Promoting this video and sending it back into the queue for one more try; last queued Thursday, May 14th, 2009 1:32pm PDT - promote requested by blankfist.
I heard this girl (she's 17) on CBC radio yesterday, and was meaning to look up this video. Good for her - she mentioned on the radio she filmed this at a service center in the middle of a road trip, and she won Youtube's wildcard spot for a Beatboxing competition in Berlin, Germany.
Look, I'll upvote, as she has some skils... but surely I'm not the only one that finds there is no flow between bit to bit, no continuation of beat, no talent in the stringing of things together.
Great skill with a lacking in actual musical talent to my ears.
But from all the other comments... I guess that's just me.

French? I understand parts of canada speak french, but even those canadians aren't french... they're canadians... or french canadians if you desperately want french in there.
^Oh ffs... Like I said, I only saw "French" in the original video description, so that's what I submitted. I'll edit it out of the title if it gets you off my back, Herr Himmler.
Why on Earth would any French Canadian be offended if they were mistaken for a French person? Also, how on Earth does my explanation of why I named it "French Girl.." not hold up to your scrutiny, Fraulein Ilsa "legacy0100" Koch?
Title misled me. Her oral skillz are unknown. Her beat boxing skills are average, except she is a moderately attractive woman.... stop the presses. [insert more sarcasm here if needs be or less if that suits you]
>> ^phelixian: Title misled me. Her oral skillz are unknown. Her beat boxing skills are average, except she is a moderately attractive woman, stop that presses. [insert more sarcasm here if needs be or less if that suits you]
Exactly. She gets all this credit because "omg, a beautiful girl doing something manly!" These aren't out-of-ordinary skills and as I said - women shouldn't do this, because it just doesn't suit them. I know I will get downvoted by white knights who get no pussy anyway.

Beatboxing is manly? Certainly doesn't rank high on the manliness scale among things like cutting down trees, lighting farts and wrestling bears. And women should do whatever they want, regardless of what people think. Except for when it comes to shaving. That's an eternal 'must.'
"French Girl.." Why on Earth would any French Canadian be offended if they were mistaken for a French person?
This can actualy be a sensitive topic in Canada since French Canadians see themselves as French First and Canadian Second while the rest of Canada Sees them as Canadian First and French second. That's a debate we Canadians like to get into because it is offensive to us english Canadians that they should consider themselves above and beyond other Canadians - But that's a debate for another time!

lol "above and beyond"! Just "different" will be distinctive enough, please. But of course, it's easier to admit to someone being different than to them being "above and beyond", so that's probably your psychological straw man that lets you ignore the real facts: Quebecers are different than other Canadians, both culturally and linguistically. We have been different since 1759 and it will not change anytime soon. Even since before 1759, we have considered ourselves "canadiens" since until the 20th century there were more (linguistically) French people than English in the territories known as Canada (Ontario + Quebec). Thus, "French Canadian" is historically pleonastic since the majority of Canadians have been of French descent. Also, since the English side of Canada is still in love with the Queen of England, the term "English Canadian" is more than fitting for them. They've always considered themselves subjects of the Queen/King first and Canadians second (because Canadian was until recently a term reserved for Quebecers).
You could say this is less true nowadays, but you'd be wrong: in Quebec we didn't care for the Queen, but in the ROC (rest of Canada) they absolutely wanted her in the Constitution. So they forced the Constitution on us (Quebec) with their royal - plus some centralizing - shit in it. Of course, we never signed it, but because of Supreme Court rulings - a Court then presided by a majority of Trudeau-nominated judges - the consent of provinces was seen as not formally necessary, so leaving Quebec out was not a problem (this is the equivalent of the Republicans having a Republican-controlled Supreme Court rule in favor of outright torture on some provision that torture isn't explicitly forbidden in the Constitution). English Canadians are all the more English whereas in Quebec we don't care to be ruled by someone else. It's not like we want to separate from Canada to join France.
And so we see that between Quebec and the ROC there are cultural differences, linguistic differences and even political differences. Why do the English Canadians fear so much these differences? Do they have an inferiority complex? Or a superiority complex? Are they just dumb? Well, anyway they refuse to admit obvious facts and then delude themselves with a vision of a united and harmonious Canada (which never existed on any level since 1759), so there is something wrong with them, that much is certain. We just don't know what exactly.
"a debate for another time!" - And you had to start...
Hey, I hope I made no offence - I personaly don't subscribe to either side of this particular debate. Though, you did react rather stongly which does make my point.
As far as "English side of Canada is still in love with the Queen of England", I think this is a drastic generalisation and arogance. Not to mention untrue for the majority of us.
I don't entirly come from an English background even though I was brought up speaking english. I think it is great french speaking Canadians have a great heritage though I just wish they would concider our current union as part of that heritage and stop splitting hairs. If you stand up and look around - the ROC consists of Aboriginal, German, Chinese, East Indians, Japanese, Rusian - and so many more backgrounds that I could go on forever. - Yes, the french were among the first to land here and set up shop but honestly - who cares - we are all here now and we are all one country.
Thanks for the insults - I think I have made my point and you have helped me in that - I'm sorry you are carying a grudge for something that happened hundereds of years ago to ancestors you never met. I don't understand your tone and I don't get the animosity you put forward.
"And women should do whatever they want, regardless of what people think. Except for when it comes to shaving. That's an eternal 'must.'"
Yes, but we shouldn't react to it as if "OMG, a girl doing something girls don't usually do! FIRST PLACE VIDEOSIFT! FIRST PLACE DIGG!" Oh, common, that is just lame. She didn't do anything superb obviously. It's like all of you are surprised that a girl can be hot and semi-talented at something. Sorry, guys, but this attitude to life won't get you anywhere.

What does that have to do with Canada, Truth...we're talking about Canada now. Please pay attention so you can masturbate your ideas onto the screen in a relevant fashion.

What's lame is you trying to assume moral high-ground for trolling's sake. Nobody voted for this video because they were surprised that a girl showed some talent - they voted because they hadn't seen a girl beatboxing this well, and probably also due to me naming the sift just right. YOU are the one automatically assuming it was #1 because it's a girl doing something mildly interesting, so if you want to pin gender inequality on somebody, start with your fucking self.
Stumble This
Every guy on Videosift.
Also, she is *Canadaian

I agree.
It's a weird thing to watch someone doing something so good, yet trying so hard to look like they don't give a shit.
abso-fucking-lutely. pissed me off a little watching her attempt to be laid-back.

just remember people, she's a human being at the end of the day, mmkay? besides, she obviously isn't hairy enough to be french.
Her boyfriend's shirt is probably drenched.
That was Sick!
I think the correct verbiage would be "ill".
