It's just a pity that Jason Garfield is such a tit, really.
Both routines have a lot going for them. The Chris Bliss one has a nice element of character - sure it's not the best juggling I've ever seen, but much more about the show than the Garfield routine. The Garfield one has a lot of good stuff in it, and then I think back to the rather nice (and shorter) 7 ball routine I saw Thomas Dietz do back in the summer. The one with a 7-up pirouette in the middle.
Stage juggling is about far more than how many objects you can get into the air.
Okay, sure, the Garfield one is technically very very good. No questioning that. But, he's using Golden Slumbers thematically, whereas Bliss is using it musically. And that's what make's Bliss' work better to me. Plus, you know, Hey Garfield, buy your own idea!
And once you've watched the diss, open the two of them side-by-side, mute the sound on one, and watch them synchronized. It's really amazing to see exactly how many jabs Garfield throws in.

He does essentially the same routine but with five balls instead of three, and with a boatload more grace (albeit a bit less showmanship).
