Respect the lee shore and high winds
This looks like one overconfident sailor who had planned to bring friends with modest sailing experience out for a day on the water and refused to let high, gusting winds hold him back.
They couldn't control the boat enough to keep the mainsail up in gusty winds, and if they had the boat would likely be leaning and flagging soo far over in choppy seas that the passengers would be right to be scared of the boom taking one of them out. It doesn't look like there is an outboard motor, so I guess they somehow got out of the slip and away from docks on just the jib, then hit the real wind gusts.
And now the video starts with mainsail down and getting in the way, jib not fully up but providing some pull, and that pull being lost to waves and poor steering. The sailor is messing with lines up front while the tiller is manned by someone who is waaay out of their element, and who begins to just jack-knife the thing from 0:20 onwards, halting all forward momentum. I don't want to come down on that person too hard, because none of them should have been out there that day, and the sailor should have been manning the till or at least yelling very specific orders at the top of his lungs well before the situation got this bad. No idea why they don't have an outboard motor, maybe they lost it. If its a rental, that rental agency should not have let them go out there.

Fifth Element -Diva Aria
Apparently, when the composer showed the sheet music to the soprano that performed the piece, she said that some of the notes written were not humanly possible to achieve because the human voice cannot change notes that fast.
Have a listen to the insane scale she sings around 4:18 and compare that to the same scale at 4:32 in the video @Sagemind linked.... to my untrained ear, they're not quite the same. The Fifth Element version sounds like it drops an octave in the middle.
I could be wrong about that, though.
Either way, it takes nothing away from what is an absolutely amazing performance.
Impressive, but I'm going to have to call them out for claiming it's impossible for a human, since this is the second live version of it I've seen here.....
