NAME Antoinette ''Butterscotch'' Clinton
AGE 21
HOMETOWN Davis, Calif.
TALENT Beatboxing
ON MAKING SOME NOISE ''A lot of girls don't think they can beatbox because they don't have anyone to look up to, you know, like Rahzel. I get a lot of comments like, 'How does such a big sound come out of you?' It doesn't have to be a huge person to make a big sound.'' Butterscotch, who grew up playing classical piano (her mom's a teacher), recently toured around the world with Peeping Tom. ''This competition is really pushing me to my full ability,'' she says. ''I know I have to win, so I'm doing everything I can, musically. I'm pretty much coming up with new stuff every day.'' Annie Barrett
