Beat-boxing beauty queen wows Miss World judges

Categories: Community, World

The results of the 2012 Miss World pageant won't be announced until Saturday, but anyone who's seen footage of one contestant beatboxing onstage during the talent portion of the competition can agree: Miss Philippines has already won the title of "Miss Buzzworthy"



Queenierich Rehman, 23, was named a Top 5 talent finalist at the Miss World competition in China this week after impressing judges with the first-ever beatboxing performance in the pageant's history.

A video uploaded to YouTube Monday shows the Las Pinas resident strutting across stage in a glimmering gold romper to pick up a microphone and belt out the beginning of a ballad.

It's a perfectly lovely and very typical pageant performance -- until the beat is dropped, straight from the contestant's mouth.

Rehman proceeds to bust out a handful of chart hits in a hip-hop medley that includes everything from Timbaland and 50 Cent to Justin Timberlake and Cali Swag District's Teach Me How To Dougie.

"'That was the most original act I have ever seen," announced the show's host after the audience stopped cheering.

Rehman, who describes herself as "a quiet person who is aggressive with what she wants to achieve" lists hop-hop music as one of her interests on Miss World's website.
