The season is not even over yet and we already have 2 MRs for next season.
WHY?!
WHY?!
Dire music selections. Lyrics must be banned.
This sport used to be art. Now it's akin to amateur karaoke night at the local gay disco.
Classical music should be a requirement for one of the programs. Make Hungarian Rhapsody great again!

One of the Moulin Rouge programs I enjoyed the most was Daisuke's short from 2005-2006
It didn't have any vocals as far as I remember.
I will attempt to smile. It may or may not be more successful than Tutberidze attempting to smile.Aerobicidal - But if you find out about someone skating to your dream music (probably very unlikely) or to a very unusual, never used music choice (which is to your liking) at the same moment (okay, twelve seconds after ) ? What then ?
I normally don't like it but when it works, it works. I think that Javi was the most successful with lyrics out of the gate, with his Black Betty SP (a unique musical choice that worked brilliantly) and both his Barber of Seville and Guys and Dolls FP. The free programs were a great mix of vocals and instrumental, and when the vocals kicked in, it just made sense and felt natural.Ha ha, but god No. Lyrics do work. Not all music with lyrics but lots.
Lots of classical music hasn’t worked in the past or has been woefully overused.
Sheesh, dramatic overreaction?
I speak the truth and rarely engage in melodrama. Enjoy the plethora of "Xtina" and Michael Buble we're sure to endure this year.

I frankly don't get the objection to lyrics. I can't think of any program I liked where I thought taking out the lyrics would have improved it. Osmond's Piaf program, for instance, would be much poorer without Edith's trademark rasp.
How about Gabby's Carmen or Mako's Una Voce Poco Fa?
As far as I'm concerned, Moulin Rouge will always belong to Tessa and Scott.
Phantom of the Opera. I'd much rather listen to Patrick Chan's instrumental version, than hear Gerard Butler warbling one more time. Now if people actually went for the superior Michael Crawford original version on the other hand...I frankly don't get the objection to lyrics.

The Colm Wilkinson/Rebecca Caine version!!!Phantom of the Opera. I'd much rather listen to Patrick Chan's instrumental version, than hear Gerard Butler warbling one more time. Now if people actually went for the superior Michael Crawford original version on the other hand...

But in general, I don't love that people haven't been creative with the ability to have lyrics - instead we tend to just see an overabundance of the exact same slower music over and over again (all the Muse and Coldplay), or vocalized versions of songs we've been hearing for years (a la Phantom, Carmen, etc.). That's one of the reasons why I loved Javi's Black Betty SP so much. When the heck else was someone going to skate to music by Ram Jam?

I am hoping for excerpts from "Hook". It's such a great soundtrack and actually perfect for skating.Robin Williams? Interesting.
Are we sure he doesn’t mean Robbie Williams?
