I am glad that Carreira/Ponomarenko decided to bring back and rework Perfume and now wish that Gilles/Poirier would have brought back Wuthering Heights instead of Vincent. But, to me, Lajoie/Lagha's Roses was lovely, yet bland, and I think The White Crow is actually their best FD and the right...

I think the only issue about that is the underscoring of Guignard/Fabbri. They and their programs (the RD, in particular) really were far from their best, but those scores were still two low for skates without any huge mistakes. Through no fault of their own (I mean Reed/Ambrulevicius). They...

I didn't disregard anything. It was @yurokis40 who apparently disregarded F-B/C's errors and the calls they got, so I responded to that. Both teams made mistakes and were harshly judged by the technical panel. As for the G/P's twizzle mistake at Skate Canada, that's why I said that it "seemed"...

Style has nothing to do with that. That said, no one else is currently doing that style on such a level. And you are obviously not taking into consideration that Fournier-Beaudry had their beginning choreo judged as a choreo rhythm sequence instead of their real choreo sequence in the RD...

In an interview, Mai Shibutani said that it's about the message of this particular song and program, their journey etc. Of course, it seems like an excuse, but maybe there is some truth to it. Or the real truth is that they found out that the training process etc. after such a long break was...

Or this is not about laziness, and they just really think that to get a positive response from judges and to be successful after such a long break, they have to do something safe, something that brought them success before, instead of experimenting with something new. Kind of like Cizeron doing...

Okay, I listened again, and the beginning of the music in that clip Najarro and Chock posted is actually from this piece by Djawadi, but the rest of it isn't - it's more flamenco. So we don't know whether they are not using that part of the music after all or they just didn't reveal all of it yet.

No, the clip had flamenco music playing that may have been a flamenco version of Paint it Black, but the Roman Djawadi Paint It Black version is not it. I listened to it, and it sounds different.

After the problems he had with funding at the beginning of this season (The Latvian Skating Association failed to pay out the funding in time) he said he was rethinking many things, disillusioned, changed etc., so perhaps it's not so surprising. Probably he felt like it was a kind of a turning...

At the same time, levels can also decide placements for teams of similar level.

Which teams did it for the 80s theme? Some lower level teams? Juniors? I honestly don't remember.

🙄. By now, I am starting to regret that Fournier-Beaudry/Cizeron were not able to use Depeche Mode for their RD, no matter how inappropriate some thought it was for the theme and their choreo. At least it was different, but now they are just one of the teams that are using 'Vogue'.

Thank you for the info. At least it's not used by several other teams. I hadn't noticed that. But they are not a high level team, and, also, Davis/Smolkin are now using another Offspring song instead of Destiny's Child.

🙄 indeed. A pity. I am not a fan of the message of that song, but at least it's musically different from others, as none of the notable teams are using Destiny's Child. Now they are probably going to change it to something safe that someone else is also using.

I think you chose the wrong program music post to comment on this. With the exception of Rescue Me House Boat, their RD is literally all one song sang by Madonna in different dubs, and the FD music is not even songs, but movie soundtrack music that flows together into one whole.
