Thanks for the heads up Sylvia.

Also a contest going on at the Cold-Eeze FB page - write a caption on a funny skating photo! Kinda fun, plus a decent prize (trip to Brian's show next month) - good luck all!

Think the show airs from 2-4 Mountain time, as well - but everybody check local listings!

Are the girls competing for ugliest costume??

[mysticchic]

wow I had to dig to find this page

[wgg]

most of these skaters weren't born when Foreigner were big - I feel sorry for them trying to skate to that

[ChelleC]

Would be nice if they would realize the television audience is more than likely watching for the skaters, not the band.

[mysticchic]

Alissa did great!
Also kinda of a waste of Cold as Ice as a warm up song

You mean FSU isn't entirely populated by fans of mediocre 80s rock bands?

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

Ugh, what's with the bastardized, high school choir-y sounding version of 'Don't Stop Believing'? It was horrid.

I was born in 86, but I still love them. Don't think that younger people only like what's current.

I think the opening was Double Vision actually....

It's from the tv show "Glee" and the music from that show sells!

[Visaliakid]

Thought Alissa did an excellant interpretation of her Glee number. I am not very concerned about how many jumps are used in this comp. Want to see best footwork, and artistic interpretation.

[Wyliefan]

About the Cold-Eeze contest -- why do they ask for a title and a caption? What kind of "title"?

[Cloudy_Gumdrops]

Oh, okay. Thanks

Ugh, what's with the bastardized, high school choir-y sounding version of 'Don't Stop Believing'? It was horrid.

That song was from the first season of the TV show Glee so it was supposed to sound like high school kids singing together. I thought Alissa did a great job.

Ryan Bradley was made for a show like this, LOL

[Visaliakid]

Ryan is great showman... loved his air spin variation on a falling leaf.

[wgg]

Ryan Bradley was made for a show like this, LOL

You'd think so but the huge open axel apart I was a bit underwhelmed

[HeatherC]

I like that look for Rachael! It's flattering on her and she looks like she's having fun. Nice job!
