  • Apart from being the original Chris Bliss juggles several balls in time to the music.

    He shows absolute perfection in his timing and brings out a new sensation.

    This person is just trying to copy Chris but fails by quite a long way. I'm sure there will be objections to my opinion by people using all sorts of foul language but that will only showw their lack of vocabulary. Rock on Chris Bliss!!!!!!!

  • @allypullin

    Criticism: 3 balls is not several. Nor is this "new sensation" one that applies to anyone who can actually juggle. Yes, it's well timed and well performed and certainly few could pull the faces that Bliss manages to, but he's a show juggler for a non-juggling audience who don't know any better. I'm not saying that's bad, he's very smooth and tight, but this is why actual jugglers protest when people salivate over Bliss's finale. I hope I've 'showwed' acceptable vocabulary? ;)

  • Oh, and just to avoid a standard response, no I couldn't do better or juggle on stage as smoothly as this, but he's a pro, and in my opinion he should be doing things that are incredibly difficult and amaze even jugglers, not a show that hundreds of thousands of people round the world could replicate the majority of the constituent parts of.

  • Look how tank he is, he should be juggling dumbells

  • Jason did 100 of live shows :D And any of them were more entertaining and original than Chris Bliss. Just because this footage is a cover, or much rather a parody, it doesn't mean that jason didn't do his own thing. Chris Bliss just juggles to music. WOW, FUCKING WOW. Every juggler does that. Where is the originality in that? Jason does not only juggle. He also entertains! To give point to my word, watch this show: /watch?v=QXfyRTNiWSU (copy'n'paste) Watch it to the end! And then judge!

  • AHAHHAHAHAHAH nice !

  • This is pretty low class. Yeah, Jason is very skilled, but Chris is more entertaining, and at the end of the night that's what's more important to the audience. Chris has heart, Jason is just showy and arrogant. Why doesn't he show us he's better by being original, rather than ragging on someone else? Seeing this video has made me lose lot of respect for Jason.

  • I enjoyed Chris Bliss much more. He was original while this guy is just a cover version. He didn't have the creativity to develop this amazing and entertaining piece. Plus Chris Bliss was performing in front of a live audience on a stage, not a ooh and ahh track and a fake audience clip.

  • Obviously Chris Bliss is not a "juggler's juggler", and Jason is. But, as a musican, I was more moved by Chris' version. Musical and artistic expression has its own set of difficulties, and I enjoyed seeing Chris' subtle and complex rhythmic creations done through juggling. Jason's is a bit like the classical musician who sneers at a folk singer.

  • 1:14 lol...

  • This whole thing reminds me of how my 2 grand daughters behave. Each one trying to out do the other for attention. Watch me grampa! Now, watch ME grampa! Each trying to do better than the other. Each trying to get me to pay more attention to her than her sister. But hey, they're kids. That's what kids do. Looks very much like what Jason is trying to do. Get some of the attention that he's been passed over on. However, I'm pretty confident that the girls will grow out of it.

  • The power and relevance of what Chris Bliss did doesn't rest on the difficulty of what he did, it's the fact that he did it that's powerful. I have no doubt Jason Garfield can do all the tricks Chris did, I have no doubt he can do them to that song, maybe he can even do it better. But he didn't. Chris did. He simply mocked him.

    It's not what we CAN do that defines us, it's what we DO do.

    Respect to both these performers for what they do, and encouragement to explore what more they can do.

  • uh, it's not about music, it's about juggling, you ABSOLUTE cretin.  Anybody could do ANYTHING do a wonderful piece of music, it's irrelevant to the act of juggling. If you wanna praise some-one, praise the composer of the music. Idiot.

  • And if you want to praise some-one, praise someone who can juggle a routine of such caliber in one take... not Jason Garfield

  • As everyone knows by now the disappearing and reappearing bench behind this Jason idiot shows that he could not keep five balls in the air and had to edit his pathetic video from multiple takes. But beyond that, Chris Bliss is also a dancer and actor conveying emotion and soul in his performance; juggling becomes a metaphor for "carrying that weight" in the song. Either you think it is about balls and don't get it, or you know that it's about art and you do.

  • HAHAHAHAH "this Jason idiot" Yeah....the best juggler in the world probably. No-one could do that routine with five balls and no drops, editing is inevitble...unless of course you do a piss easy routine with three to a song and then hide behind "oh its art!" when people point out that what you do is moronically simple. If hes going to put himself out there juggling and sell it to an audience he should do something challenging. And dont give us the if you get it you'll like it bull. Just weak.

  • Give me a break.  Jason is an athlete and Chris is an entertainer. There's a difference. Do Olympic figure skaters get mad because Disney on ice is doing the easy stuff?

  • Jason is definitely much better than Chris Bliss in juggling. Chriss might be the better one in the "performance" thing. What makes Jason's performances boring is probably the way he looks, cos' it's somehow unnatural for a guy with such big muscles to move like a dancer and to fit in melody.

  • jason may be the proest guy ever but he's kinda mean and a little hateful. i no i saw his book trashing all the people who doesn't juggle perfectly

  • this guys a douche this is boring compared to chris bliss's routine 5 balls big deal he looks retarded spinning around like a balafuckingrina vin deasel wanna be..........

  • now thats what im talking about :)

  • i like jason better than chris.

    when it comes to juggling, it's about technique, not the heart of it.

    jugglers can only attract people with their skills.

    and that's why all the jugglers practice everyday to improve it.

  • Jason's not only a juggler with attitude, but he's a magician who made the bench behind him disappear and reappear all through the video. Begs the question as to how many days and takes it took him to complete the routine.

  • Great juggler > boring artist/performer

    'nuff said

  • He's better than Chris Bliss. Chris routine is not so hard; he always repeats the same few tricks..everyone could reach his level.

  • i really hate this guy and people who think he's better than chris bliss. this guy has no fluidity in his motions, he pauses at parts where chris bliss is always moving and never stops the motions. not to mention the fake cheering in the background cause this guy never did it live. He must have done 500 takes before he got it right on camera

  • Duh. Of course he never did it live-it was a parody. Lol.

    Oh, and have you noticed that most of the people who don't think Jason is a better juggler than Chris Bliss are not jugglers? Makes you wonder who knows what they're talking about...

    Oh, and I actually like the Chris Bliss routine. I just know that Jason is a more skillful juggler.

  • Unfortunately, rather than displaying his appreciation for the fine-art of juggling, clearly this Jason guy is out to bash others instead of marketing himself.

    It would be the same as one world-renowned Classical Pianist bashing another's talent or the same as some athlete assaulting another who is about to overtake them in competition.

    This guy is not an artist; he's coming off as a class-less jerk.

    Next thing we know, he'd go on a shooting spree at WJF some day.

  • I think that Jason has the far better technical routing... but my vote cause to Bliss for "feeling the music" and making me feel is love for it.

  • I'll bet Jason is just frustrated that performers like Bliss are getting more recognition than he is, even though he worked harder and for a lot longer to put a much more difficult juggling routine together.

  • what type of balls are best for juggling 5 balls?

  • The best balls for juggling are "SportJugglingCo beanbags".

  • WOW. If Jason Garfield sucks at juggling what does that say for anyone else?

  • He could have gotten it perfect if he wanted to...but that would have taken more time doing tricks that are EASY for jason, hard for everyone else, but I'm sure he can do it easily.

  • this is his own act, I say chris bliss should have changed his act in the last 20 years....It hasn't, the only thing that has changed is the music, not the juggling. WHich proves that chris sucks.

  • He is only the best juggler in the world...

  • If you are a fan of Chris Bliss then you are obviously not a juggler. Anyone can do what Chris does. And you can tell that jason does not take this routine seriously by the fact that he makes strange faces during it. I doubt that he practiced this routine more than once before filming it. And due to that of cource he will have drops, but that is not the point, the point is that Chris Bliss can juggle less than I can and I am not that good.

  • lol 1:03 exit light goes on 1:08 its out 1:11 on again 1:13 its out and at 1:23 theres (wtf) a bench and the light is on again, 1:28 ...no bench and the light is out 1:48 again...so he didnt made the video in 1 shot but in like 10 different parts!

  • Was that a Chris Bliss standing ovation edited in at the end?

  • Yes, it definitely was. If you watch them both, there are the same three people (a lady and two men) right next to each other in both videos.

  • Can people stop with this arguing. I suport jason however being a juggler i dont see why people can't just respect each other and do it for fun.

  • Yeah, Garfield is apparently better than Bliss, but just because he can do better doesn't mean he has to get jealous and try to humiliate and undermine Chris.

  • By the way. CHRISS BLISS SUCKS!

  • Alright all of you dissing Jason Garfield I would come right over to you and knock you the hell out. Shut up! Lets see any one of you do the same juggling act like that. Hell try doing it with one ball. None of you understand the purpose of juggling. It IS a sport and an art. Jason Garfield has proven that not only with this video, but with every other juggling record he has set and done.  Any of you got something to say? Email me at pesavento467@yahoo and ill talk to you.

  • i dont think theres any dispute here that garfield is the better juggler but chriss bliss did it all in one go(notice the moving bench and changing Exit sign)and in front of an audience, and i think his was more in time with the music too.

  • anyone could do what chris did in one go...it is easy.

  • That was just awesome. I would like to Jason Garfield and Chris Bliss team up. Both are amazing jugglers. I think Jason really rose to the challange on this one

  • ...

    you dance aound in sweats in a tanks while doing three balls...

    you're REAL cool yourself.

  • This is totally awesome. Jason Garfield is a king among jesters.

  • Absolutely amazing! I loved Chris Bliss; I still love Chris Bliss. But this guy is very, very good. Why not treat this as a new art form? There's juggling & then there's juggling to music. I can't juggle anything -- tasks, time, & certainly not balls -- I've tried. These guys are stupendous. Why Garfield feels the need to diss Bliss is a mystery. If he thinks the attention to a mere 3-ball juggle is undue, he can come up with his own routine to a NEW piece of music.

  • Chris Bliss sucks at juggling to music, he has used the exact same routine to other songs...It is just a really easy routine, and that makes it easy to get on the beat of the music.

  • jason garfield is a legend. Yeah the chris bliss video is great, his timing is awesome, and it works really well with the musis, but jason garfield is clearly a far superior juggler. anyone that thinks he is too pompous or arrogant clearly needs a slap, thats what makes him great.

  • No, Garfiled shows the difference between a guy who can juglle three balls and dance well at the same time, and someone who can proove he can do things better and who is, in fact a "technician", and, bye the way, an "ARTIST" too!!!

  • The point of the Bliss Diss is not to make a "better" version of what CB did. It's also not to say that JG can put on a better (or more artistic) show than CB. JG's point is ONLY THIS: the juggling that CB does in his act is rather elementary, and that if you like the CB video because of the "amazing juggling," then you are ignorant as to what real juggling is. If you like CB's video for other reasons (sentimentality due to the music, his bizarre facial expressions, whatever), then whatever.

  • Garfield has a lot to learn. Camera editing and an ego won't are not things to be praised.

    Plus, Garfield discards the essence of The Beatles' powerful line:

    "And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make."

    Give to receive, Garfield. Have some respect.

  • He could have done it in one go. Chris bliss is a sublimal juggler who gets ridiculous amounts of viewers because people don't know what good juggling is...Garfield is just proving a point to none jugglers.

  • what is the name of this song my grandmother likes it

  • It's actually three songs that blend together near the end of The Beatles Abbey Road. It starts with Golden Slumbers, blends into Carry that Weight (both the Garfield video and the Bliss video omit about a minute from this song which is a reprise of You Never Give Me Your Money from earlier in the same album), then concludes with The End, which starts with the drum solo. If you want to see a much more beautiful interprtation of this music, though, see the Chris Bliss video.

  • this guy likes penis and chris bliss obviously has a huge one so this faggot is trying to get to it by "attempting to make fun of him" hahahah this guy likes weiner and chris is better

  • Bite your tongue when talking to the best juggler in the world. Oh! And, actually, I woudln't mind you talking about Jason Garfield, but if you do, next time, try to says something that's actually funny or offensive. Work on your vocabulary a bit more and maybe I'll accept your insults. For all I care Jason likes dicks, but at least he can juggle. You just seem to like dicks, huh? And you can't juggle? Yeah, I thought so.

  • how can we talk to anthony gatto on a jason garfield lame video?

  • anthony gatto can only do numbers....not tricks, and when was the last time he won a juggling competition?

  • Jason Garfield has a lot of talent however I found Bliss's act far more entertaining only because he was in rythem with the music, he had natural flow as if he was part of that song, where in Garfield's case it was more of watching someone juggle while you are listening to a song.

  • one big point of kris bliss's routine along to this song was to *keep in time with the music* and look fluid, which jason garfield didn't do- he's not in time and he looks erratic, although his moves are much better. i really have no preference to either.

  • only if you are stoned!

  • or perhaps it's the simple fact that he's a much better juggler... or maybeit's that you don't have a life, so you spend time finding great talent to badmouth, just because he's better than someone else. Bliss is good, Garfield is better; flat out.

  • but gatto is better than both,but that's not the issue here,what is the issue is that jason is a jealous juggler-of anyone,even gatto!and his performance has 0 passion and heart-its like watching a robot juggle...

  • This is true; I'd much rather watch Gatto than Garfield; mostly because his ego is bigger than his head. But you also can't deny the fact that Garfield is a very talented juggler. That's all I'm trying to say. No, he didn't come up with an original song, but he's still got moves that Bliss can't match.

  • moves yes,heart no

  • my brother met Garfield last august. he says Jason is much nicer than he seems to be.

  • I agree with this. Garfield is good, but he's a huge jerk. Also, as others have previously stated, Bliss moved with the music. Garfield basically just juggled with music playing.

  • so what if chris bliss isnt AS good as this bloke

    chris bliss is still good to watch, doesn't mean you have to go out and try and be better...

  • I know nothing about juggling, I was impressed by both performances but Jason Garfield's routine was CLEARLY better and more entertaining.

  • BB King sucks next to Eddie Van Halen because Eddie Van Halen uses more notes.

  • Eh. The same thing I'd say to Yngwie Malmsteen. Eh.

  • Those twists and kicks were SSUPER DOOPER!

  • coool. I can't juggle 5 balls for more then 30 seconds. XD

  • wow, he's amazing

  • he just did it 5 separate times and edited them to look like the same take. trust me.

  • It's even more ironic in light of Jason's aggressive stance towards people he accuses of 'stealing' his tricks, or gags.

    As it is, this is a poorly shot video of how many takes nobody knows, in a dingy warehouse with no audience.

    OK it's Jason's trademark to be an asshole, but this was a pretty cheap shot towards someone who was very original and entertaining.

  • This is the equivalent of a studio musician playing the guitar solo from "Hotel California", but with extra twiddles and arpeggios just to ridicule how "easy" the original is to play.

    Jason's a great juggler. There's no denying that. I watched this clip in awe, I'd be much more awed if I though Jason had developed the idea himself, from scratch, and performed it in front of a live audience.

  • Try two of the people he trained. With equal talent. Vova and Olga Galchenko. On NBC's The Today Show. And Jason, the founder of the World Juggling Federation competes in The WJF competition which can be watched on ESPN.

  • well i personally dont think it takes a lot of talent to prove what an arrogant asshole you(jason garfield) are <:+)

  • Of course it was a 'diss'. Penn dared him too. Chris has minimal juggling talent. The guy had bad form and the most impressive thing in his routine was three balls in one hand. He's a bad juggler and the show wasn't about him being a good entertainer. HE JUGGLED A HALF ASS ROUTINE TO THE BEAT OF A SONG AND NOTHING OF ANY MORE ENTERTAINING VALUE. I don't dislike the guy hell I love any juggler but the fact is that he wasn't that good entertainment wise or juggling wise.

  • seems to me someone that makes it to the letterman show is 'entertainment': http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=uD5YX-uegP0

    lets see,last time jason was on there was never whooops

  • its very much a diss if he uses the soundtrack from bliss'own performance.just because he is more skilled does not make his performance better on all levels.just as clapton can play a guitar solo,some can play technically better,faster,etc, but yet,no one plays guitar like eric clapton can.he is way off the beat many times whereas bliss is in synch consistently.for magic of performance-see anthony gatto <:+)

  • Jason thinks that Juggling is a sport. I dont know what mr. Bliss thinks, but most of people think juggling as a entertaining. I believe it could be both and it can be art too.. Bliss's video was better, if somebody says that he does only 3 balls he dont get the point.

  • You can't blame a real juggler like Jason for making fun of a 3 ball routine. I learned how to juggle 3 balls in less than an hour, but I can't do 5 balls yet. Jason's routine takes true skill while Chris' routine takes minimal skill and some practice.

  • ahhhh but dont all routines take 'some practice'?

  • it won't take very long, I started doing the 5 ball flash after about a month

  • ok-let's see you do it then

  • um, You know the 'Diss Bliss' video? Jason thinks he is so great huh? Chris Bliss can take that diss, and instead watch THISS!!! Let's see if making fun of someone else's routine is still just a funny thing to do. I think it is.

    RATE THE JASON GARFIELD'S BIGGEST SHAME DISS THISS VIDEO: (BY ME)

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=QTQFFbJM53k

  • DAVE GARFIELD SAYS: HERE'S MY REVENGE: A 'CHRIS BLISS DISS 'THISS' VIDEO: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v­=8XNvSawr1ps (RATE IT FOR ME KAY?) HEHEHE

  • He obviously has no life if he has to make a video proving he is better than someone else. The fact of the matter is, is that this was edited and some people prefer three balls. I still think Bliss is better.

  • cool video !!

  • Does anyone here understand the meaning of the word 'parody'? Go to Jason's website and read his whole commentary of the Bliss video and watch the other stuff he's done.

    Jason's video is much better in every way. So what if he's not always on the beat; that's a lot harder to do with 5 balls. Of course he used the same soundtrack; it's a parody. And he doesn’t just recycle the same few tricks over and over.

    Yeah, Bliss has some good basic skills, but he's nothing special.

  • haha, bliss's video is still better done than jason's. More skilled doesn't equal more entertaining.

  • he actually does reuse some moves in his video

  • Jason is a great juggler! But, I must say that Chris Bliss' performance was more entertaining and was in sync with the music. This is an entertaining video but it is not as in sync with the music as Chris Bliss was.

    But you got to give Jason credit! You try and juggle 5 balls for 4 minutes and then try and juggle 10! C'mon, give him some slack and some credit on his work.

    It is not a dis on Chris bliss but it is very good.

  • also worth noting: *we* don't know that this was this guy's first run.

    Let's say I see Roger Federer hit a wonderful ace against James Blake at the Dubai Open. I then go to a tennis court, with no-one there, and hit an "ace" (against no-one) that's even faster and more spot-on. So what? There aren't thousands of people there, there's no competitor, no pressure, and (if I'd recorded it), as far as anyone knows, it could have been my 15,000th attempt!

  • The other commentors pretty much capture the point. But, in case anyone is too dimwitted to get it, check out Gary North's, Your Job is Insecure (on lewrockwell.com/north/north446­.html).

    This is the common trait of those in marginalized professions, who rail against everyone else for "not understanding their brilliance".

    Oh, did anyone else notice that this guy's video just grabbed the sound from Jay Leno's show, audience applause and all? That's pretty funny. Talk about insecurity.

  • Jason is a "much better juggler. He uses five balls, not three. Yet his performance lacks something fundamental. He is not an artistic creator; he is an imitator. He is not a skilled amateur; he is a professional. He stands in front of a video camera. If he drops a ball, he can re-shoot the video. There is no audience. He risks nothing. He is quite good, yet the performance did not elicit "ah’s" from a live audience, or from me."

  • Exactly what i was thinking. Great minds think alike :)

  • Oh brother... what an insecure egomaniac jason garfield is. I wouldn't be surprised if jason had sabotaged other jugglers during prior competitions. I have to admit one thing...jason is surely the more angrier and resentful of the two. TAKE YOUR CRAPPY VIDEO CLIP OFF THIS SITE!

  • So this guy can juggle. What's your point? That other people can juggle and have a more complex routine? So what?

    You sound so angry over Chris Bliss that I'm guessing you're just a little whiny girl (or acting like one) who is jealous. Get a life, loser.

  • Not the slighest bit of grace or beauty. Chris Bliss's routine is full of grace and beauty, inspiring and uplifting. His juggling skill is sufficient to create an uplifting and positive experience - which is what his performance was all about - something this guy will never get. His need to critize this performance (which he could NEVER create no matter how many of his balls he throws around)is pathetic. Chris Bliss is an ARTIST, Jason is a just hack with a lot of balls to throw around.

  • i used to juggle, 4 balls is hard for most, but 5 and 10? this man is amazing

  • KEEP PRACTICING!
