Your TWO favorite skates to Samson & Deliah

[screech]

My favourite was Jeffrey Buttle's long program. Pure magic. My favourite free of his.

Count me in as another vote for Jeff, but in it's original format, not the revamped O's format.

[Moka-Ananas]

I loved Elena Sokolova's SP in 2003.
I'd say I like none of the list

ITA!

Yes, Davis and White's S&D was brilliant. Who was the singer in that. Such a pretty voice too.

RE: Jeff Buttle.... yes, I preferred the original version too. The Olympic performance of it is never the one I think of with this music. I even forgot he did it there.

Kristi Yamaguchi 1991 Worlds and

Davis and White 2009 Worlds

I too forgot about that performance. It was mistake-filled, and not memorable. Buttle was a beautiful skater but way too inconsistent for my taste

Jeff's original S&D
The sequence of field moves, the camel spin in the opposite direction... so many amazing bits to that program.

Agreed. I chose other (meaning Buttle) and Rochette. Although I prefer the Japan Open version of Rochette's program better.

I've just discovered Buttle's program. WOW. Very good

[blue_idealist]

D/W and Ashley Wagner. I don't think I've ever seen the Fleming or Slutskaya versions. I like Ashley's better than Joannie's since it's a bit more spirited.

[Habs]

Definitely Jeff Buttle's original 2003-04 version. Hands down.

[geoskate]

Jeffrey Buttle also.

[Carmen Ovsiannikov]

It's too bad we can't have a tie for 1st or 2nd place but then that would make three programs rather than two wouldn't it?

I chose Irina Slutskaya's pro/exhibition version. She used the same music that D&W's FD opened with.

Jeff Buttle's LP very narrowly edged out D&W for my top two.

[professordeb]

Buttle and Rochette for me.

[Stephanie]

Definitely Buttle's

What about Lipinski at the Olympic Festival. She was a 12-year-old

Does anyone remember Surya Bonaly's Samson&Delilah ?

Yes, I was in France at the time and watched it on tv during French Nationals. I liked it and couldn't find it. I don't have that video tape anymore, it was lost when I moved back to Holland. I haven't seen this SC performance, so thanks for the link.

If anyone has that French nationals, please share somewhere. They interviewed Gusmeroli about the theme of er lp and Anissina/Peizerat talked about their FD. It was quite interesting, even though my French wasn't brilliant at the time and I only understood parts.

Exactly my pick

My pick as well! I too loved Elena Sokolova's SP. And I really love this music!
