No, Fifty Shades and Mikhailov, not Morozov.
Your idea of a non-lazy choice is Moulin Rouge? LOLOLOL.
How could you possibly know what mood she is comfortable with? Frank Sinatra seems like a better fit to you? LOL again. She is hardly a "little girl" by any definition these days. I've never been a fan, but it's good that she is open to trying new things after the sleep-inducing programs she's had in the past. Let's face it...she isn't going to be a top contender ever again, so she should do exactly what she wants.

When you consider what Wagner did with it, that was my context. Has any single skater ever done 50 Shades justice on ice ever? Does Maria have the chops to even pull this off without it being vulgar or ridiculous looking? I mean on so many levels, Mary Poppins would have been a better choice for her or even Amelie, LOLLOLLWOL. Just so sad, IMHO. But as you rightly said it's her career.
at the angst about Fifty Shades. That was lame GrannyPorn. It's tame. Maria is 19 not 14. Get yourself a silk necktie and
Fifty Shades has a good soundtrack, if nothing else. James/Cipres’ short program was excellent.

She's continuing because her last competition (Russian Nationals) did not end well. She decided she wants to compete again. I suspect she just wants to quit on a good note and not sobbing uncontrollably in the KnC. Who knows what will happen this season, but she should be guaranteed a GP spot and can do as many Russian Cup and/or Challengers as she wants/has time. If she gets to Russian Nationals (and she would as long as she does a GP event), she can do her best and then decide where she goes from there.Surprised she is continuing. I wonder what she will get sent to. I need to check her World Standing placement.
I wouldn't even consider her top 10 of Russian ladies for 19-20.
Wasn't her last event actually Universiade?She's continuing because her last competition (Russian Nationals) did not end well. She decided she wants to compete again.

James/Cipres vs Maria Sotskova colour me perplexed as to how this could work without ehem, confidence. Oh well, maybe the child will surprise me.
You are correct. And, it was marginally better than Nationals (at least she didn't totally melt down in the KnC).Wasn't her last event actually Universiade?

I love Sotskova! She is a sweet, sensitive, highly musical skater who gives her programmes everything she can. People are free to dislike her music, but I wish they'd give her a break once in a while!
A soundtrack from a pornographic film has absolutely no place in our sport. I’m distressed so many don’t even bat an eyelash at the vulgar implications this sets.

Fifty Shades is a would-be erotica. That threshold in figure skating was crossed at least by the time of Wötzel & Steuer's Basic Instinct program (a far more explicit movie).A soundtrack from a pornographic film has absolutely no place in our sport.

Bigbird, you're making me think Maria Sotskova sounds like the perfect person to skate to this since you make her sound like the lead character before she discovers her sexuality and the "freedom" that comes with it. Which is what I'm assuming the movie/book is about judging from the trailers and what people have said about it.
