2017-2018 Program Music and Choreographers

[Pattina]

Just my two cents: I was wondering about Figaro as a Spanish character known worldwide and the possible montage could be "The Barber of Sevilla" by Rossini and "The Marriage of Figaro" by Mozart.

EDIT this is not Spanish music.... so my guess is completely wrong

Music for his 2015 free skate was from Barbiere, so I doubt he'd do it anyway.

The Elvis program for Nadeau that Shae did was amazing!

I loved that program so much. It was perfect for Nic since he's such a great performer - he can really sell it.

Interesting. I loved V/M's flamenco OD from 09-10, so I look forward to seeing what they come up with.

We're talking about Javi? He did a Figaro in 2014-15. When people say he is narrow I point to this were he skated to Rossini Buffa style beautifully.

Mathew Gates is choreographing for Guignard/Fabbri again this year with Barbara-Fusar Poli. Looking forward to their interpretation!

According to Brooklee's article (posted in the Australian Skating thread), Kailani is keeping her SP for next season.

Maia Shibutani posted this cryptic photo on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/BT6RjXgAS2D/

Trilogy:
Fix You
Evolution
Paradise

I guess 'paradise' is the theme of next year's FD, it's also a Coldplay song.

[VGThuy]

I feel like they got scared after Worlds and are moving backwards. I can't help but feel disappointed.

 

[Jeschke]

A second time 'fix you'?
I liked the program but do not know what to think of that.

 

[clairecloutier]

Oh no. Really Shibs????

 

[princeton123]

I don't think they're doing Fix You again. The post is kind of cryptic but it implies their FD music will just be Paradise and the last two were just two parts of a trilogy.

 

[TanithandBenFan]

Paradise might not even be the Coldplay song. It could be some random theme they've assigned to their FD like last year's "Evolution."

I think they will use Coldplay but the music and moves will be totally different. Sometimes after you have been doing the same routines and are set in them you start thinking how much better they would be if you had added this or changed this or that...They may have some new terrific ideas for it...That is what I am hoping for.

 

[starrynight]

Maia quoted lyrics from the Coldplay song 'Paradise' so I think that it is a real chance they will be using it.

 

[chapis]

I don´t think so, Alex left very clear at worlds that they already had their music for the FD. They got the program that they wanted last season (Evolution), basically this was their program, now is time to comeback to the style that fit them the most. None of the styles they have used before have worked so well as the ¨Fix you¨ program, to do something different would be to experiment in the Olympic season or return to a style that has not been so well received, they are simply using their brains.

'Evolution' really wasn't that much of a stylistic departure from 'Fix You' though...

 

[VGThuy]

Yeah but the same exact musicians? I guess that's why it's a "trilogy". I'm still not sold on the idea, but I recognize that I sort of have an aversion to Chris Martin's voice, so I'll work on being more open minded.

Maybe all three programs will make more sense when watched as a trilogy, .

 

[chapis]

oh, come one!
by the way, what were you expecting?

 

[Spiralgraph]

People are so quick to jump to conclusions and feel let down. Whatever their choice, it's bound to be tweaked and developed until Nationals and the Olympics. I'm going to trust Maia and Alex and their team, until I see their programs on video and then I'll praise it or whine.

 

[Kecasyl]

They're not doing all three of those songs. Just "Paradise."

 

[SkateGuard]

Here's to hoping they do the Piano Guys version:

Now that's a version I'd be for. I don't know how many times I can stomach hearing Chris Martin repeat "para" over and over again. But people seem excited on Twitter and Instagram, so what do I know?

Omg that is exactly what bothers me about that song, too! Para..para..para..just say the bloody word guy
