2026 US Nationals Women's FS "Liu Monsters go Gaga"

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

OK I think I’m ready to say I like the hair.

 

[HaNguyen]

OMG. I really, really hate Alyssa’s hair. I can’t even watch her skating, her hair is so bad.

 

[overedge]

I admire Alysa for busting the pwetty pwincess stereotype, but I just can't with that hair. It looks like a dead skunk.

 

[tangerine dream]

Alysa is skating great but this is basically just random music playing in the background. I didn't think I would say this but maybe she should just stick with Donna Summer for Olys.

 

[Braulio]

I... just don't know what to think with this new free skate

maybe a different approach but, not what I vision for an Olympic gold medal performance

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Nah, go back to MacArthur Park.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

She has her gums pierced. a funky hair color I wish she was going full lunatic for this right now. Because she’s got the aesthetics for it now.

 

[floridaice]

The camera is following so closely, hard to tell her speed or ice coverage

 

[canbelto]

She's awesome like always but I'm not sensing much connection to the music.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

hmmmm it just makes me think of Kevin Aymoz doing Lady Gaga instead.

 

[barbk]

Not enough mileage on this - she doesn't own it yet.

 

[Braulio]

Alysa going the Fear/Gibson show/exhibition programs put into free skates, ok while the code allows but for me it's a no, sorry

 

[myhoneyhoney]

OMG, Alysa!!!

 

[peibeck]

Alysa has nerves of steel. But, sorry, that program is pretty empty and she was very slow. Granted it's new, but... meh.

 

[Karen-W]

Well, she was clean, but I'm seriously underwhelmed by the Gaga program. That needs a lot more development before it's Olympic-worthy.

 

[slicekw]

Hell to the yeah. Here’s hoping Amber can ride this wave as well.

 

[Wyliefan]

Great job, Alysa! The program needs a little mileage on it, but it's much better than the old version, and it should really work for her at the Olympics.

(But I really hate the hair. I'm sorry. I just can't help it. )

 

[tangerine dream]

Pressure? What pressure? Alysa eats olympic pressure for breakfast.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Well, the audience seemed to love it. It'll be interesting to see what happens at the Olys, but TBH I really hope she doesn't try to train two freeskates until then.

 

[personwhoishere]

I definitely wanted a bit more manic energy with a Gaga freeskate but still well-skated nonetheless

 

[Badams]

OMG, I loved it. Every bit. The dress, the hair, the fact that she's so ballsy that she premiered a new program at nationals! The music!

 

[Braulio]

Alysa you have already the look, better switch to a JEM tribute and skate to a collage to the cartoon soundtrack just for the old ones

 

[skatingguy]

The Gaga is bad - go back to McArthur Park.

 

[jlai]

Alysa has nerves of steel. But, sorry, that program is pretty empty and she was very slow. Granted it's new, but... meh.

Yeah could use more speed and ice coverage

 

[overedge]

There weren't any errors, I'll give her that, but overall that was a hot mess in many ways.

 

[Sarah]

Eh. It didn’t translate on tv. People stood for Alysa. The program didn’t make people stand.

 

[Lanie]

That score is kind of ridiculous

 

[susieB129]

There's chill and unfazed, and there's lackadaisical (choreographically speaking). Unmoving and uninspiring.

 

[Sally1214]

Alysa's dress is stunning. Skating was excellent. Her hair looks like she has a skunk on her head.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

At least she was dancing a little on Donna Summer. Bust a few moves at the Olympics. Massimo can show you.
