I have to say, I think this music choice in the RD is inspired. If the whole thing is music selections from Juju Orchestra then great! It's a classy, grown up and unexpected take on the theme - which I think their previous choices have sometimes lacked.

 

[Wyliefan]

And it looks FUN. I am so ready to see them bring some fun and playfulness to this theme!

I know, it finally after so long of stagnation and regression seems like a step in the right direction

SP: "Rain, In Your Black Eyes" by Ezio Bosso, Chamber orchestra
FS: "Horizons" by Cédric Tour / "Horizons Into Battlegrounds" by Woodkid / "Minus Sixty One" by Woodkid / "Run Boy Run" by Woodkid
Choreographer: Benoit Richaud
Musical arrangement: Cedric Tour

He shared the themes of his programs before he debuted them Lombardia Trophy (along with "a short extract from my free program"): https://www.instagram.com/reel/CiiVhLQo4JX/

... We decided to create a story between the Short and the Long. Both programs are connected by the musical arrangement, the costumes and the choreography.
It's a love story. But above all it is a story for everyone. The short program tell a memory of the past between a person and the character I embody. I made a mistake and one evening in the rain after an argument, everything ended and I regret that it ended like this… Then in the free skating, I go back to the past to have a second chance. I manage to make up for my mistake and I finally get my redemption.

The first two selections for the RD have a retro feel - very 60s/70s jazzy Latin. I can especially see the first one working well with what we've seen from CarPon in the past. There's a long instrumental section at the end of the Gloria Estefan song (a good minute+) that I could see meshing with the first two songs, plus have a nice pop to end the program with.

I can see the pieces from the Backbone soundtrack mixing very nicely with Summertime.

 

[Kateri]

Backbone? The indie game about a drunken raccoon private eye? Can't wait for the costumes.

I hope someone is submitting this game for AGDQ so I can combine my knowledge of speedrunning and ice dance into one epic pbp and/or twitch chat.

I worry when you get 4 songs in there you're going to get some wonky edits, but I am hype since this seems much more in their wheelhouse while still being interesting.

I hear if you mash the twizzle button right as you activate the chocktaw, you can exploit the input buffer and save twelve frames on the midline step sequence.

Until the ISU technical committee comes in with a hotfix that totally nerfs it because they are party poopers

Marie France really wants to make Batman in ice dance happen doesn’t she

 

[On My Own]

@litenkyckling's opinion is "No no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no... BATMAN!" (I'm done)

No, this is just more proof of CarPon being recognized by the rest of the ice dance world as iconic and legendary ahead of everyone else, including the judges. We will have Batman dances and Wicked Game forever, thanks to their prescience!

Trusova's new FS is to some dreadful emo version of "I believe I can fly".

Like R Kelly’s “I believe I can Fly?”

Clueless

Isn't the original already dreadful and emo?

The cover she found is even worse.
