The CSOI music list should appear online soon, hopefully, here: http://www.starsonice.ca/music.htmlThe 45-year old Newmarket, Ontario born Olympian will be performing two pieces at the Windsor show, including a slower one to the music of Breaking Benjamin and one he describes as more of a tribal routine.
“I’ll still be skating in my style for the fast one, but it’s a lot more tribal than anything I’ve ever done before,” he reveals. “This one is a bit more serious and it really pushes my speed and power skating skills and I know that’s what everyone loves to see.”
I was at the Ottawa show yesterday and would have to agree that it is better than last year's show.
I did miss having a dance team, although I thoroughly enjoyed the pairs teams.
I think the opening to the second act was my favourite, and the one foot skating by the men in that number was quite impressive.
I have to say though, that as much as I have always been an Elvis fan, when you stack him up against Browning/Buttle/Chan, his programs are so empty.
The same could be said about Browning, but his programs and skating are still so much better than Stojko's.I mean he's like 50 and 30 years past his prime...
My favorite coworkers mom just won 4 tickets to the London show and they are taking ME!!!
Hahahaha, so happy!!
I did not write it just for the sake of comparing, although, admittedly, it came out that way. It was more in response to princeton123 saying that Stojko is "like 50" and (therefore) "30 years past his prime". I just wanted to give Browning as an example of a 50 or so years old skater who can still do quite a lot on ice.Didn't Elvis step away from the skating world for several years though? I don't think it's really fair to compare a guy who semi retired from skating and is attempting a comeback to a guy who has been actively skating and performing his whole life without a gap.

Cool clips. Houses probably more full than US SOI?
I would be inclined to go with that explanation if not for the fact that S/B also withdrew from the WTT before w/d from CSOI...Interestingly, there was no announcement about Seguin-Bilodeau in Ottawa, as far as I know. My guess is that her recovery from the concussion was not compatible with the flashing lights used throughout the show. Kirsten M-T had a problem with them in the gala rehearsal at Canadians and had to withdraw from the actual gala.
It was a very good show and it was well attended - I'd say the crowd was better than last year. The audience responded well throughout but no full standing O until the finale. The response to Elvis was what I would call higher intensity, especially to his 2nd # which I called "vintage Elvis". I actually preferred him trying something different in his first #. Kurt remains amazing.I'm now kicking myself for not going to the Ottawa show!

Apparently Kurt twisted his ankle during last night's show in Toronto - he tweeted a photo with an ice pack on it
CONGRATS! Enjoy! Kurt's routine near the end is brilliant! Let us know how you enjoy it all!Yep!
