Will no one speak up for Tangos? ;) Grishuk/Platov’s tango OD, the Duchesnays’ tango OSP and PapCis’s tango RD all rocked!

Especially when they seem to be fine with using music that been generated by soulless robots in 2025 as long as it rips off music that actual humans created in the 1990s.

Does Keegan have to do the Challenge event or can he go straight to Nationals?

I wonder if teams are getting tripped up by "Remixed and/or remastered music, including cover versions, is permitted" wording in the RD rules?

They should have made a coaching switch after Montreal Worlds when it was becoming clear that the international pairs field was becoming much deeper.

Well because we haven't seen these 2 programs, this is just early Olympic season snarking in the abstract (which some of us live for!). When we do see the two FDs, they could a)both be mediocre rehashes b)one will be a mediocre rehash and the other will be an awesome revival/reimagining c)both...

I quite like Kiss from a Rose but it might be in 6/8 time, not 3/4. I think Iris (1998) by the Goo Goo Dolls switches back and forth between 3/4 and 6/8 but FSU's resident musicologists will need to weigh in on that. Mind you, do Shawn Rettstatt and the IDTC even care about a rhythm's time...

Maybe an enterprising team could find a 1990s song in waltz time and call their RD "The Shawn Hate Dance"? ;)

In the case of Madonna, she may have been a breakout star in the mid to the late 80s but she was HUGE in the early 90s. Her 1990 Blonde Ambition tour was one of the most important tours of that year. The Truth or Dare documentary came out in 1991 and her Erotica album and her SEX book both came...

However the ruling about Personal Jesus not being eligible came about, it does indicate one of the many (many!) issues with the "decades" RDs. Music doesn't magically change when the clock strikes midnight on New Year's Eve on a year ending in 9. There are plenty of songs people associated with...

Perhaps they finally realized that voguing to Enjoy the Silence made no sense? ;)

G&P could probably rock such a program. :D

Correct but the album it's on (Violator) came out in 1990. I guess this means that at least one judge is a Depeche Mode fan, which makes me feel old. ;)

Am I the only one amused that Scott Moir gave the CarPoms' music that Davis & White used to beat Virtue & Moir?

The Guess Who basically came up with "American Woman" live onstage after a tour in the US that they didn't particularly enjoy. In an interview, Burton Cummings once said that what he really was trying to say was "Canadian Woman I Like You Better." Not sure, what that means for an 1990s-themed RD...
