That's a far nicer reaction than I had. I saw the post and chose to ignore it for at least an hour, I was that disgusted, lol.

Where’s the blech emoji when you need it? Got it

drew meekins i'd like to have a word

Oh no is that the song Jacob skated to?

 

[Debbie S]

Oh no is that the song Jacob skated to?

Yes. And years ago, Ziegler/Kiefer did it. I really didn't need to hear it more than once.

 

[Wyliefan]

And Tarasova/Morozov.

 

[tony]

It’s been in skating since the late 70s. In the first World Pros circa 1981, it was a team competition and both teams skated a number to it.

And I still like it

Tanith White does not like it. She called it cheesy 80s montage music, or something similar, on the air once.

 

[Wyliefan]

How right she was.

 

[Karen-W]

Tanith was not wrong.

And @tony - your opinion about that song belongs in the "Unpopular Opinions" thread over in The Trash Can.

Sh*t you just beat me to it. I’ve been on her Instagram this afternoon.

Ladies and gentleladies, without further ado, it gives me ANL the greatest OF pleasure to announce the music of 2025/2026 of Olympic champion Amber Glenn

Here is our amuse Bouche

The short program, drumroll, please @SidelineSkater

The short program is like a prayer by Madonna, holy shit I can’t believe it. Oh my God.

I think Benoit and Misha Ge have choreographed 75% of the programs this year.

I realize this is a facetious comment, but am I the only one who thinks this is a problem? I don't remember a choreography monopoly back in the 6.0 days. No wonder all the programs look identical.

Sandra Bezic choreographed a lot of programs. I think the difference with Benoit is that his programs very much look like him. Shae Lynn is doing a lot of choreography, but I don't think it's the same situation as with Benoit.

I am 100% here for this but I'm also going to think of people calling Joannie Rochette's program to the same song Muzak Madonna because it was 2005 and she had to use the instrumental verson every time I see Amber's music.
