2017-2018 Program Music and Choreographers

[algonquin]

I would've liked a more dynamic SP for Patrick, but I know I will love the LP. Although the Olympics would be my ideal (not the Team Event), if he can skate perfectly in at least one event that is televised next season, I will be pleased.

I never liked Dust in the Wind, but I think that there is some nice guitar work that they could highlight. (It has been a longtime since I listened to that song.) I am thrilled about his LP.

I love Dust in the Wind.
Not sure how the slow music will work with an SP.
But I do think slow moody music really suits him.

I'm so glad someone is finally using the best version of Hallelujah!!

Very excited about this long program choice for Patrick!

 

[Japanfan]

I don't recall any skater ever using Dust in the Wind, at least at the top international level. It will be interesting to see what Patrick does with it. He is very talented when it comes to interpreting nuances so expect he'll do the music justice.

As to Hallellujah, I'm just very meh. I'm a die hard Leonard Cohen fan, so prefer his original version the best. But I don't recall any skater ever using the original.

Ok, I'm going to be the mala voce (what else is new)

Dust in the Wind is a *horrid* tune. I hated it in the 70s, when it was all over the radio (yes, young'uns, we had this thing called radio, we listened to it) and time has not improved my opinion. "All we aaaaerrre is Dust in the Wind....." I can't get that horrible vocalist's voice out of my head Patrick is waaaay better than this song.

I also don't like Jeff Buckley's Hallelujah. There is, to my surprise, a listenable version of Hallelujah by "Three Canadian Tenors". Nate and Deanna used it last year. Patrick, Canadian tenors, come on, at least use that one!

But it looks like I am the distinct minority

 

[Coco]

Major props if he uses the Old School version.

Funny, I like the SP and not the LP. The LP is now a bonafide warhorse. lol

 

[screech]

I'd love for someone to use the k.d. lang version of Hallelujah.

Cohen's partner, singer Anjani Thomas said: "After hearing k.d. lang perform that song at the Canadian Songwriter's Hall of Fame in 2006 we looked at each other and said, 'Well, I think we can lay that song to rest now! It's really been done to its ultimate blissful state of perfection'.

I MISS SO MUCH these styles of dresses... with a longer skirt portion...

Dust In The Wind - OK...Maria Butyrskaya using my Fav cover of Sarah Brightman... She did something of this album.. was either this or Scene d'Amour

Isn't that what Madison and Zach used?

 

[VGThuy]

I think the other versions are really orchestrated and fully-produced, but it seems Patrick wants a rawer, more introspective version. I think Jeff Buckley's version was chosen because it seems more personal and less theatrical. Probably the mood he wants to give for his Olympic program.

Patrick will do an amazing "dust in the wind" His speed and ice coverage will be huge and his footwork will be incredibly intricate...There are so many layers to this song..He will take flight...I thought I would hate it but when I listened to it I could see him killing it.

For those who don't care for Dust In The Wind..... Check out Sarah Brightman's from 97/98

I quite like this, especially the production of the end of the song. I always saw this cover as a figure skating song.

AngieNikodinovLove, surely you have seen Angela Nikodinov's 1999-2000 exhibition program to Dust in the Wind? Unfortunately there does not appear to be a video of it available online.

YASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!

LURVE IT! Not many people remember it and I did not post it cause I, too, could not find any video!

SO GLAD someone besides me remembers her/that.

Not a huge fan of the SP choice, could be a bit slow and similar to last year's SP, but it seems like it could fit him.
On the other hand, I already picture myself standing and crying after an epic FS, being caught on camera and becoming an FSU meme (Lady at French FD in Helsinki style)

LOLLLLLL well, to each their own. LOL

I do like Sarah

I do like Sarah

I do too, she's lovely as long as her mouth is closed! And that vapid version just completely removes all the intricacy of the music.

If you want to skate to slow music you need to be seriously fast and it has to be an effortless speed! Patrick has lots of speed so it will be interesting to see what he does with this.
