It's so blatantly a rip-off, especially seeing as they originally wanted Beardyman to do it but then they just did it anyway

People only like Beardyman because he's famous, there's plenty of people out there as good/better than him.

It's a bit like the people who have no interest in Football but then as soon as the world cup is on they fucking love it.

People like beardyman because they've heard him. They've heard him because he's famous.
You're right, there are probably people out there better than him, but since they're not famous and we've not heard them, we can't like them.

Simples.

Tbf he is 2x UK beatbox champion, and with good reason imo. I agree with what Murray said.

I've seen Beardyman live and he was amazing. He's amazing at what he does and he can put on a good show.

There diffusers they are designed to absorb or send the sound waves different directions to stop echos, reverbs and standing waves. You don't need them everywhere when they are placed properly.
