This healed my bitter disappointment that Kwan did not win the 1998 Olympic Gold Medal. Tara, after all, had her dreams as well.

Thank you so much for that link. Tara was absolutely brilliant. Her arms and hands were liquid. Her expression of the music hauntingly beautiful.

I love Mao's exhibition like Ballade, Cello Suite and Jupiter which have already been mentioned, I also love Mao's Scent of a Woman and Caprice Exhibition with a more upbeat salsa and tango feel.

Caprice: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41mdvXnGiSE

I also really enjoy Victor Petrenko's Twist

and Kurt Browning's Clown routine

Kurt Browning - Rag-Gidon-Time (clown) - 2005 World Team Challenge

Perhaps the best version of this program. Great crowd interactions, and response.

There are many exhibitions that I have enjoyed for many years. Midori Ito’s Singing in the Rain performance at the 1992 Olympics was so charming. Kerrigan and Wylie’s interpretation of Miss Saigon music was wonderful. Finally, I love every exhibition that Michelle and Mao has done. The elegance, emotion, line, and heart are all there. I wish they were their short programs. Once again, I miss both of them so much. So classy.

Oh my, that is just lovely! How I have forgotten how much I loved Arthur! An incredible man, built like an ice hockey player but so flexible and expressive! An Nathalia is great as well. Thank you, @Braulio !

I mentioned it in my post but that was many posts earlier. When they skated this in a pro competition they were criticized - I am not sure why. This is one of my favorite M&D numbers. They skated it beautifully at the 94 Olympics.

 

[Vash01]

I loved G&G’s 1988 Olympics exhibition. They skated three numbers - Libestraum, Katoosha, And the third routine was the second half of their LP. Lovely, lyrical, perfect as always.

I don't watch a lot of galas but Kostner's Clair de Lune from Helsinki Worlds.

Also Hanyu's number to The Final Time Traveler has stayed with me. But it might just be the haunting music.

Oh yes ! Carolina's Clair de Lune was soooo beautiful !

I also liked any exhibition with Kurt Browning and Tara Lipiniski together. Seriously, an underrated pair!

Wow, that's spectacular. I had no idea. I can't remember any pairing of single skaters with that kind of chemistry (despite the billion-year age difference ... hopefully the chemistry stayed on the ice).

 

[skatesindreams]

Kurt Browning's "Nyah" - clips have music blocked.

 

[AduCarr]

Right on! The chemistry is undeniable and despite the age difference, the program gives zero creepy vibes.

And I know that it is quite common to diminish Tara as a flash in the pan. But she was such a one in a million talent ... IMO, it’s a pity that we all (figure skating fans) have been deprived of the chance to enjoy a mature and still active Tara Lipinski.

Her lines improved tremendously and her skating skills too. Add that to her super sonic speed in improving from season to season, and we could have had a rivalry for the ages between Michelle and Tara (+ Sasha, Irina...)...

Anything Kurt Browning with those fantastic foot step sequences.

 

[nguyhm]

I have to admit that my guilty pleasure right now is Mariah's this year's exhibition to the music of "A Star is Born" (I know I'm cheesy but she just skates it with so much freedom - it's hard not to like it)
