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!!!!!!!
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.
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!
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.
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.
Jason Garfield is the founder of The World Juggling Federation, a juggling competition for juggling as a sport, in its purest form, not with music. He is the holder of world records, and he coaches world record holders. I'd like to see Chris doing an eleven ball flash and a 5 up 360.
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.
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..........
It's not about how many balls you can juggle or how technical the routine. It's about the heart of it. Jason's just going through the motions. I have more respect for the guy that can play one hand drum incredibly more than the guy who plays a 20 piece drum kit upside-down over the crowd.
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.
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'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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
Chris Bliss's highly imaginative finale to his comedy act is remarkable for its originality and soulfulness. Bliss has sublime interpretive skills -- he's living in the music. Garfield's I-can-do-that exercise in envy completely misses the point. In a contest that Bliss did not invite, Garfield demonstrates the difference between an artist and a technician. The standing ovation is only in his imagination, and the only thing he's really juggling is sour grapes.
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.
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.
Garfield's video was obviously taped in a number of sessions and edited together. Watch the background - starting around 1:04, the EXIT light over the door is on and off at random cuts, and around 1:24 a bench appears to the left of the door, then vanishes a number of times. His talent is eclipsed by his dishonesty and his disdain for his audience.
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.
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.
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.
You have to remember that Criss put this routine together 25 years ago when he opened for the Jacksons on the "Victory" tour. Since then, he's concentrated on standup comedy. He closes with the juggling routing because it's cool and the audience loves it, but it's not as though he lives, breathes, eats, and sleeps juggling.
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.
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.
(Continue) One other thing, after watching both videos a few times, Jason is way more into it. Watch how his shoulders move, and the way he bounces with enjoyment. He has way more enthusiasim, and is more fun to watch.
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.
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)
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.
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.
I highly doubt this was even shot in one take. They would have needed at least 4 cameras to do that, and even so, his style and energy change so much between camera angles. He probably never did the routine all the way through once without dropping a ball. He probably just did it section by section then they chop it together in post production. Thats the magic of editing.
Don't get me wrong, he still does some really good stuff, but he didn't do it live like chris did.
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.
Chris' routine was artistic. Jason still does a superb juggling job. There's always someone who will put someone down, no matter what. Give him credit where credit is due. He's good! You try it!
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."
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!
I think you totally missed the point of Chris' performance. Just the grace of the juggling, with that glorious Beatles song The End, combined to make something really beautiful. Maybe you can chuck a few more balls around - but you cant make it art.
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.
Not only is Jason BETTER, he should be the one on stage. Obviously, everyone who has posted in regard to this video is only pissed becaused Jason said that this was a "diss" to Chris Bliss. But guess what people, it's not really a diss if he's better. Chris Bliss might be a sweet guy, but his juggling is average at best. Not only was Jason able to keep more balls in the air at one time, he did way more stunts and kept on beat much better. Don't be hatin', enjoy the magic of Jason's performance.
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 <:+)
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.
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.
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.

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!

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.

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.

cizzydo 5 years ago
Chris Bliss's highly imaginative finale to his comedy act is remarkable for its originality and soulfulness. Bliss has sublime interpretive skills -- he's living in the music. Garfield's I-can-do-that exercise in envy completely misses the point. In a contest that Bliss did not invite, Garfield demonstrates the difference between an artist and a technician. The standing ovation is only in his imagination, and the only thing he's really juggling is sour grapes.
dbury2 5 years ago
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!!!
qfudfcm1 5 years ago
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.

Garfield's video was obviously taped in a number of sessions and edited together. Watch the background - starting around 1:04, the EXIT light over the door is on and off at random cuts, and around 1:24 a bench appears to the left of the door, then vanishes a number of times. His talent is eclipsed by his dishonesty and his disdain for his audience.

goedzomenno 5 years ago
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.

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.
chadio5547 5 years ago
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.

You have to remember that Criss put this routine together 25 years ago when he opened for the Jacksons on the "Victory" tour. Since then, he's concentrated on standup comedy. He closes with the juggling routing because it's cool and the audience loves it, but it's not as though he lives, breathes, eats, and sleeps juggling.

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.
kppkkppk1 5 years ago
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.

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.

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.
iussiu 5 years ago
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.

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.

well3howdy3doo 5 years ago
I highly doubt this was even shot in one take. They would have needed at least 4 cameras to do that, and even so, his style and energy change so much between camera angles. He probably never did the routine all the way through once without dropping a ball. He probably just did it section by section then they chop it together in post production. Thats the magic of editing.
Don't get me wrong, he still does some really good stuff, but he didn't do it live like chris did.
Chumbuh1 5 years ago
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.
dh003i 5 years ago
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."

I think you totally missed the point of Chris' performance. Just the grace of the juggling, with that glorious Beatles song The End, combined to make something really beautiful. Maybe you can chuck a few more balls around - but you cant make it art.

cre8tive1der 5 years ago
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.

Not only is Jason BETTER, he should be the one on stage. Obviously, everyone who has posted in regard to this video is only pissed becaused Jason said that this was a "diss" to Chris Bliss. But guess what people, it's not really a diss if he's better. Chris Bliss might be a sweet guy, but his juggling is average at best. Not only was Jason able to keep more balls in the air at one time, he did way more stunts and kept on beat much better. Don't be hatin', enjoy the magic of Jason's performance.
dharmadee 5 years ago
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 <:+)
