Yeah. But it's totally Mozer of her to give them that song for their LP.
It is!
I had that Mr. Bluebird of Happiness albumMine too. My parents had that Jan Peerce record.
OTOH there are gonna be so many "serious" Olympic FPs this season that T/M's choice could turn out to be refreshing.It just feels like boogie of any kind is best kept to small doses and that the serious music should be kept for the long program.
THIS!But either way, I don't suppose it could be worse than their lp last season, so I will keep an open mind
Good point. My first thought was "Wait, what Chopin LP?!"Anyone wanting T/M to skate to serious classical music should remember how deadly dull their Chopin LP was in 2015-16 ....
Yeah T/M have such a unintentionally heavy quality about them (not their skating so much as the mood) and I think they need something lively. Plus Mozer is challenging the notion of what Olympic programs should look like one or two or three pairs at a time.
I'm going to make a bold prediction that Tarasova and Morosov's LP will be even more snarkworthy than last year's and the music will either be this or something even worse.
Anybody brave enough to admit they've seen The Identical? I've never heard of it before today, and it sounds . . . didactic, I guess.
ETA: I can't believe I forgot about this entry from last season's Melodifestivalen, which might be even more epic.
One can only dream. Some cuts from Eilert Pilarm, Swedish Elvis impersonator, would be AMAZING.I think if T/M wanted to do a rock and roll theme, they should have done it for the short and not the long. Their sp music choice is perfect for them and would have made an excellent (if potentially generic) lp choice.

First bit for T/M: Rach 2?Small snippets from open skates of Mozer's team today (maybe it will help to "decipher" musical pieces )

Thank you! What's an Olympics without Rach 2?
Tarasova & Morozov's Chopin program wasn't choreographed by Tchernyshev (was it by Morozov)? I'm expecting it to be tons better than their past stuff... hopefully with more of a Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze vibe. The LP choice is unusual but I think it'll work if it's offset with some bluesy piece to have more variety. I always wanted Evgenia to dress up in old fashioned style. I think she'll look like a million bucks. It's an unorthodox choice though and part of me wonders if this isn't Mozer wanting to make it clear who are her #2 (thinking back to stuff Trankov has said), which would be so short-sighted. This isn't the kind of choice that says "we want the OGM."
I'm very curious what program Marie-France made that Stolbova & Klimov dumped. I mean, if they didn't want slow and romantic why even go to her... it's too bad she didn't work on Besame Mucho, I'm sure she could have added something there. I really wanted to see if she could push herself with something different for this team. I'm loving the choice of Carmen though. We don't have a really good, dramatic, iconic Carmen for the pairs the way we have with Witt, B&B, or V&M, and Stolbova would be perfect. I'm sort of picturing the choreography from last year with a very modern dance Carmen. THAT sounds like "we are in this for the OGM."
There's another clip of Tarasova & Morozov here. I don't recognize this piece, but it certainly has a lot of YEAH! in it.
Cool lift!There's another clip of Tarasova & Morozov here.
