Davis and White #14 - Better Late Than Sinatra

[lauravvv]

I love snark but I vote for changing the thread name. I used to like V/M but their trolls have ruined them for me. Let's be better than them please.

Actually, there are not that many trolls - just a few of them. Although lately I haven't noticed anyone who could be called a troll - except pani, that is. But, of course, the negative stuff is noticed more and tends to stay in memory for longer. That's why I also vote for changing the thread title. BTW, trolls couldn't make me stop liking Meryl and Charlie. Only bad dances (quite impossible) that I woldn't like (slightly more possible) could do that (that is, make me stop liking them as ice dancers).

Thanks for posting, but the link is not completely correct. I took it upon myself to correct it - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Habanera_(aria) .

ETA: Honestly, I don't read the V/M thread every day and I don't get their current title. "Love is a rebel bird"? At least that's my French translation. I must have missed something.

Much like the current D/W thread title, it's related to V/M's free dance.

Thanks. Guess they are just showing their support for Carmen. Makes sense.

So, Meryl Davis just tweeted:

Quand les années auront passé
On retrouvera sous terre
Nos squelettes enlacés
Pour dire à l'univers
Combien Quasimodo aimait
Esméralda

ETA: Perhaps something from the above could be incorporated into a new thread title?

Sylvia beat me to it! Hahaa

When years have passed
We find underground
Our entwined skeletons
To tell the world
How Quasimodo loved
Esmeralda

Looks like the lyrics to Danse mon Esmeralda. Yessssss.

Meryl's ability to be cryptic in the classiest of ways is an astounding talent. Even if we're usually onto her shenanigans.

And of course Meryl would drop her hints en français.

I think she knows we know.

Oh man, I'm getting the shivers! They never disappoint me.

Meryl would make a lovely Esmerelda (will make?)

Anissina/Peizerat have a beautiful exhibition to Danse Mon Esmeralda: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LQO-od6NcYI.

They are the only high-level ice dancers I know of that have used Notre Dame de Paris.

So will they make Charlie somehow look disfigured and ugly?

Maybe his curls are being taken away

I seriously doubt that! Gwendal still looked fabulous as Quasimodo.

i dont know if d/w will do the more tragic angle for this dance, and if they do, i would be a little concerned of charlie's level/range of expression. meryl can certainly do highly dramatic expressions, but i dont feel charlie has that range.

[Pretty Vegas]

SO excited for this. It'll be nice to see them go back to a more dramatic-type program after all the strides they've made in presentation the past few years.

He is maturing and gaining more life experience...I wouldn't count him out on pushing up his level of expression. I actually thought he was quite expressive in POTO and I liked his expression in the Tango FD as well.
