Cirque du Soleil member Oli Lemieux would be a superhero if the world existed on trampolines. While most of us are content to bounce up and down (and occasionally fall off and break a leg), when you put Oli on a trampoline he leaves physics behind him. The man runs up walls and bends gravity in whichever direction is appropriate to make backflipping off ledges look effortless.
Since Cirque du Soleil requires the French to defy science whenever possible, we offer up this video of the Montreal acrobat during a practice, showing why Cirque has been selling out in Vegas for so long.

AOL, simply put, do your job. The video was eye catching and entertaining, but the music....what were you thinking? Whomever decided or authorized this to be shown with that ignorant, uneducated, non-respectful, should be rated music should be terminated. You capture a very diverse audience, no diclaimer or warning?....Come on, no lame excuses acept your mistake and let it be a lesson on who takes the time to write and respond!

I kind of feel wierd for saying it, but that was beautiful. How exhilerating must it be to feel as if you're defying gravity?

I loved the video AND the song! People need to get over being so prudish. If you would even pay attention to your damn kids you'd see that they were using the same words. It's not that big of a deal if you think about it. But if you're so worried how about sitting down with your kids and teaching them other words they can use to express themselves. Or would that be too much work?

really? you people want to gripe about the music? sure, i get it, because music was so much more wholesome in the 80s when it was about sex and drugs, and in the 70s when it was about sex and drugs, or in the 60s when it was about... oh wait, i think i see a pattern. still, i love those great "family" classics like "cum on feel the noise" and "yellow submarine".

I like the comment about music and needing metal detectors in schools because of it. It's always somebody else's fault why their kids are messed up. Someday parents need to take responsibility for their kids and say, "Yea, I screwed up."

I have a question.. do you all have nothing better to do than bitch about the music all day..or does it make you feel better as a parent to blame the behavior of children these days on music with poor language..turn the damn mute button on and shut up.

I agree that the music is bad on here, especially for younger kids to listen to. However, this was a youtube video that AOL just has a link to, so they dont really have the power to take out the music in a video someone else created. This was very cool to watch, I just wish the music was different

Agreed. Not a fan of this garbage music. I think I'm going to download the vid or something and cut it with different music before I pass it on.
"Master Shake" of course, just likes to pull the "You're American, therefore, I hate you" card--which, honestly, gets so old. And yeah, we have our sexy violence in our movies, but they have rating.
This video features the performers of the Cirque de Soleil. I didn't expect this crappy music.

I understand people's argument on the profanity in the song, but at the top in the title it says music NSFW. For those that don't know what this means, it means not sutible for work, meaning the music will have some profanity in it. I totally agree that it's a stupid song, but for those that are complaining about not being ready for it, well... you were forwarned.
On the other hand, cool tricks and good video. Whoever made the video, pick a better song. Rap sucks.

Cirque is amazing. These tricks must be seen in person. I'm going to Vegas to see KA in two weeks. Can't wait. I just hope the jungle music isn't the norm.

You are in for a wonderful treat. I have seen the show, it is GREAT !!! Actually I have seen all of them in Vegas except for Zumanity ( they were shut down that week) My husband took me to see them all ( except Mestre we had seen that ) for our 30th anniversary. May I make one suggestion for you though , do not sit too close to the stage. There is stuff going on all around the room and if your up front you will miss alot that goes on else where. I would suggest about 1/2 way back at least to get the whole effect of the show. You will have a great time I promise. Wish it were me, I never get tired of these shows.

Offensive?
Did anyone actually listen to the lyrics and not the "Bad" words? The guy is talking bout how the groupies is ruining his realtionship. About the groupies at the show who is tempting him. But I guess since its rap everybody think that this is just garbage. I wonder if people with these 8 year old kids and grandkids make them only listen to Kids Bop and no "Classic Rock" cause they have suggestive lyrics as well, with a couple of curse words.
Lets not be hypocrits people.

Yes,Steve I am with you, the clip did not need the obsenities of the rap crap sound track. This world needs to stop pandering to that worthless demeaning type of music.

hey buddy, maybe you should read the title of the video first.. it says in the parentheses "music NSFW"
if you're too incompetent to read the movie title before randomly clicking then that shouldn't be AOL's fault, that's like saying if you ran into a fence and got shocked, and then blaming it on the fence, even when it's CLEARLY posted that you should not touch unless you want to get shocked
here's a suggestion to you crybabies.. press the mute button! you know speakers have volume knobs right?

Well nothing wrong with the music yeah it does make you a bit of a prude as your an adult and words like that shouldnt horrify you. Not sure where you got aol was for kids or family as the internet isnt for kids especially young ones. If you do have kids and you let them online and use aol Im not sure why you dont have adult monitoring on..

I agree,ghetto music has no place in this video.The theme of this video is about a French circus...not about some filthy,graffiti-ridden alley in Compton.
