Apparently the feedback from the judges is that the the judges love it, and are encouraging the skaters to do it.
They must need something to keep them awake after all the music choices.

This. I am a former musician and I love all kinds of music. But deciding what I was performing to really depended a lot on what I could stand to practice repeatedly everyday and remain motivated. That changes your perspective really quickGreen & Parsons - too cerebral and introspective.. how on earth do they find the motivation to work with this music each day?!
Mark agrees. He's so diplomaticMark: "They make it through the twizzles". Well yes, but only L2 for Piper. They were really off for a team at this level.
Hmmmm. i think I liked this program better at Skate Canada. It was good, and should rightly lead after this, but it's beatable.
I agree. I'm not mad about it because I love them but Gilles & Poirier were definitely lucky.Well, they seem happy with second place, so that's good. I think Gilles/Poirier got a bit lucky though.

My definition is generally a piece of music, or pieces of music used by skaters in multiple disciplines over the course of multiple seasons. We had Clair de Lune yesterday in the men's short program so I would count it. I think it's generally escaped the warhorse label because it seems to be a piece of music that has wide appeal without becoming annoying, which is very rare for music in the skating fandom.I would say Clair de Lune, as it's not really in the same league as the others in that regard, but I'm fine for people to disagree on that point.
