Awesome Talents

Need a good laugh today? Watch this guy singing Montel Jordan’s This is How We Do It (It’s Friday Night) on a Kentucky Public Access channel that was broadcasting local karaoke. (Thanks Ron!)

Illusionist Jason Latimer often incorporates modern technology into his performances, like in this Magic Castle show in 2006, where Latimer seems to make a laser beam become solid at will.

It takes a couple of minutes for the action to really kick in, but once it gets going, you’re in for 5 minutes of epic freestyle parkour action shot in and around London. Impatient? Jump to 2:25.

Sometimes it’s fun to go to a more soothing place than extreme sports videos. Take, for example, the charming, carcinogen-filled style of Tom Noddy, the skillful trick bubblemaker. (Thanks Dave!)

The talented Danny MacAskill lends his street trials skills to make a commercial for Scottish recruitment site s1jobs. We can’t decide if we’d be stoked or terrified to have Danny’s job though.

8 year-old Anjelo “Lil Demon” Baligad can dance. In fact, he was good enough to smoke his adult competition at this breakdancing contest. His foe is actually pretty decent, but he’ll never live it down.

Check out this medley of popular tunes from the young and talented Snubby J, whose instrument of choice is a handbuilt PVC pipe organ/drum set. Bonus: Ozzy at 3:24. (Thanks Kelley!)

(NSFW) If you thought Cee Lo Green’s original had a touch of sarcasm in the smooth delivery of his message, take a listen to The Overtones’ a capella version, with its happy, upbeat tones.

If you thought unicycling was a dorky pursuit, watch this video featuring the amazing Max Schulze pulling off the most extreme unicycle stunts we’ve ever seen, and you’ll quickly change your mind.

Unicron too old school for you? Perhaps this will do the trick. Fredde Gredde breezes through acoustic versions of the jingles of good, bad and Swedish cartoons. “Denver! The last dinosaur!”

The guys at 3RUN do martial arts, parkour, free running and acrobatic stunts for film, tv and com. They’ll blow your mind with this compilation of some of their incredible moves.

Well, it isn’t free diving or sick parkour moves; it’s 4 non-extreme dudes having some good fun jumping through a hula hoop in a synchonized and humorous fashion. You’ve got to start somewhere.

Beatboxer extraordinaire Hikakin is back with some new sounds. This time he does his best impression of a Skype call. The Police Academy sound effect guy would be so proud.

This moped rider not only hit the highway at 85 mph – without a helmet, he does it lying down, with his face towards the ground. We’re amazed the stunt ended without tragedy.

(Lyrics NSFW). If you’ve never heard of Lewis Floyd Henry, crank up the volume and enjoy the best busker show you’ll hear today. When you’re done, check out some of his other performances.

(NSFW) An all-girl A Capella group from Columbia University and Barnard College do a sweet remake of Dr. Dre’s B*tches Ain’t Sh*t. The doctor probably laughed his ass off when he saw this one.

NSFW. Remember Fredde Gredde, the guy with the TV theme songs? He’s back. This time, he’s all about video games. With the help of some friends, these themes now have (offensive) lyrics too.

While you might have heard beatbox artist Hikakin’s awesome Super Mario Bros. theme, we bet you didn’t hear his rendition of Harder Better Faster Stronger. His Kanye ain’t bad either.

We could hardly believe our ears when we heard this Japanese musician’s impressive Star Wars medley played on an Electone electronic organ. Her Raiders and Back to the Future ain’t half bad either.

Remember that crazy aria the blue Diva sang in The Fifth Element? The original was augmented with electronic effects, but disneydiva7 managed to sing it live, without any vocal enhancements.

Sometimes you wanna go where everybody knows your name. Two guys named Fredde (actually just one guy, split-screened) sing television’s greatest hits. See if you can spot all of your favorites.

We can kinda sorta juggle, but Aung Zaw Oo puts us to shame with his AZO Showreel 2009; he parkours, juggles, skateboards, swordplays, and gets dressed — often simultaneously.

Online musicians Sam Tsui and Kurt Schneider team up for this Michael Jackson Medley, which uses creative CG to turn a two-man band into a seven-member a capella group.
