So do I! Her performance of it in San Jose made my eyes tears up. I can believe we're already getting news of new programs. It seems like the season just ended . Pretty soon, it'll be time for summer comps.:D

As most, I am a renewed fan of Zhang, but I never really saw any "Choreography" in either of her programs...

[Ziggy]

As Adele is British, it's "Rumour Has It". :)

IA, it wasn't a choreographic masterpiece but it was still moving nonetheless (at least to me).

Oh I LOVE Lynn & Logan's FD music! That program should be pretty awesome! :cheer:

I like K-GS, but I really don't want them to go the way of Navarro and Bommentre, who plateaued technically and stylistically by sticking to a similar style of program every season.

Tweeted by @RichardDornbush today (re. his new SP music):
I'm skating to an instrumental of "With or Without You", U2, originally.

[Wyliefan]

Wonder if he's ever going to use that instrumental "Sixteen Tons" number that he scrapped. I've always wanted to see that.

I hope it's not an "elevator music" quality instrumental...if it is, I'm already falling asleep.

Oh dear :scream:.

I am finding it hard to imagine a worse music choice. :wall:

At least it's the SP...

ITA

Kim and Brent always gave me that impression, that at the end of their career they skated even to the same music (though they did not)

I love Lynn and Logan creative style and lifts, so hoping they can keep it up

:)

Oh dear :scream:.

I am finding it hard to imagine a worse music choice. :wall:

iTunes has three instrumental versions. One with lots of drum beats. One a very dismal piano version (from an album of "romantic piano music"). And one "in the style of U2" but with a synthesizer.

I can't imagine what I played of any of them making a good skating program. :scream:
