2017-2018 Program Music and Choreographers

[VGThuy]

Judging by her Anna Karenina exhibition, there'll actually be even more pantomiming and covering even more story.

Jason Brown
SP: Room Where It Happens from Hamilton
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMHiZzmpiK0&feature=youtu.be

Not a fan of the song. I'm also someone you can count on to clear his throat and talk about the Quad's that Jason is missing. This YouTube video... His excitement, the clip from what sounds like the most supportive and awesome family. GO JASON!!!! I don't know if I know anyone more excited about life. That video made me glad that I stuck to my meal plan today and is making me log off and go to the gym.

Oh... and i'm clearly hallucinating because i KNOW I didn't see him do a Split jump where he stayed in the air for a hour and a half flying across the ice into what must be Triple Axel... like... no way... badass

 

[Karpenko]

I hope she will get rid of that ending pose as it's from Mao.
And I hope she should change the dress because it looks identical to Yuna Kim's Turandot.

I forgot to respond to this, (and I love Marin, Mao, Yuna) but if we're going to play the "she stole my ending pose!" game, you are clearly forgetting that (the great) Michelle Kwan did this ending pose first at the end of her "Red Violin" LP in 2000. .

Maybe Michelle also borrowed it from someone, and this ending pose is just meant to be!!

and at least it's a beautiful dress that she copied, it could've been an ugly one!

They'll have to build the shard into Osmond's costume, since props aren't allowed.

 

[Karpenko]

I won't lie, I do love the idea of Kaetlyn wearing a headpiece. If no headpiece is involved I'd just burn it all to the ground and start over.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

^^^ I knew you could come around. Drinks?

will you settle for a bloody spot on the dress revealed at the last moment? dress conversion?

[Karpenko]

That'll work for me yes, and it also adds drama to the performance if she makes a mistake. I'd love to see Kaetlyn come out onto the ice and be a total b!tch the more this idea sinks in, that would be fantastic. Not a soft and pretty swan

 

[TAHbKA]

I love Misha Ge.
But I wonder if doing it for his direct competition is wise.

Ge got Russian and French GP, Voronov is going to Japan and the USA. Ge is competing at 4CC and Voronov will probably not even make it to the Euros. The only way they are a direct competition is if Ge decides to come to a competition into MiddleOfNowhereInsk that Voronov will probably be participating...

Shouldn't he solely focus on his own skating?

I think he is focusing on his current and future career. Which, again, imho, is a smart move.

I agree. Misha already has the Olympic ticket. My understanding is that if he does not use it, there is no one else from his country who can use it.

 

[zebraswan]

Misha choreographed for Petrov last season and they were at the same GP, and Misha said he liked seeing someone skate with his choreo right after him. I don't see what difference it makes.

 

[alchemy void]

Complain, gripe, b!tch, moan, yadda yadda, mumble

Come join the fun on #TeamDaleman!

I am reserving judgement on Osmond's choices until I see the programs, but I still feel like her best programs were the ones she had in 2013-2014, so charismatic! Like you, I felt like her programs last season were too generic. Embrace your inner Bobek!

 

[alchemy void]

I hope that Voronov has a fantabulous season, since it may well be his last. A long-denied trip to the Olympics would be totally amazing!

Yes, and not excessively unrealistic either. I think Sarbanade could work really well for him too.

Ross Miner SP: 'Downtown' by Macklemore

Ross Miner's new SP is "Downtown" by Macklemore, according to this article by Christie Sausa on his guest appearance at the first Lake Placid Saturday Night Ice Show of the summer, July 8, in Lake Placid, NY: http://www.lakeplacidnews.com/page/content.detail/id/527106/Miner-entertains-the-crowd.html

For those who want to take a look at Ross's new SP, here is my fancam of it from Colonial Open in May:

Well, the cobra boobs were kinda voidy.

 

[VGThuy]

The big problem I had with Daleman's cobra boobs program was that I kept imagining Kwan's "Dream of Desdemona" SP as it's one of my favorites of all time and nobody skated to that piece since Kwan so she was my only other reference point.

 

[barbarafan]

I agree. Misha already has the Olympic ticket. My understanding is that if he does not use it, there is no one else from his country who can use it.

Perhaps he is paying for his current career with his future career

Pogrebinsky/Benoit are calling their new FD Desire:

Back in May, Pogrebinsky/Benoit wrote on Instagram (linked above) that their free dance "is comprised of an existing contemporary rock blues along with an original composition created just for us" and now they've shared a short clip (sounds like Annie Lennox's "I Put A Spell On You"): https://www.instagram.com/p/BWeg6hih8iD/?taken-by=pogrebinsky_benoit

It sure does. I love this team but it's hard to get excited about another program to that song. I'd rather listen to Carmen or Moonlight Sonata!

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say this routine is going to be as big as Riverdance. People LOOOOOOOVE Hamilton.

Also, I've had a Hamilton earworm ever since the announcement, so thanks for that, Jason.

Do you all think James/Cipres are skating to "Say Something" or is it just background music at the rink?

Wait .. what?? Which link is this in? I'm opening them all and haven't seen that???

It's on their Instagram stories. It's playing during the throw quad salchow.

Well, the brilliance of last season in the Pairs discipline is that the most memorable LP's all used evocative vocals. S/H, S/M, and J/C all had FS's set to vocals that mean something emotionally to swaths of the public. And the version of the songs that S/H and J/C chose were widely praised as perfectly suitable for the pair in that season.

James/Cipres even went viral from their year-end WTT FS just based on how many people connected with a very intense version of "Sound of Silence" fleshed-out on ice. The people who shared the video without any background in figure skating kept on talking about how they embodied the music.

I have no doubt that *if* they are indeed using "Say Something" for the Olympic Season, the program itself will be a crowd favorite with all the surging cheers during the performance itself. Pick an intriguing arrangement of a popular song and you will get all sorts of audience reaction when you are skating clean.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

^^^^ Maybe your right. But personally Im just not one for sappy melodrama. Ugggggg. I think Id rather have a warhorse in this instance. LOL

 

[chantilly]

Different strokes I guess
I love Say Something and think it's an excellent choice.
Modern and current

 

[Karpenko]

They could be skating to Miley Cyrus or Clay Aiken, if they continue to be it doesn't really matter what they're skating to. They'll make it work. They are so freakin' hot.

Miley Cyrus or Clay Aiken?! God help us all!

The gorilla in the room innit. if you mute the music everything still works, just learn to zone it out and enjoy the
