Egadze
FS: Nature Boy and El Tango de Roxanne from Moulin Rouge

Pucherova/Lysak
FD: Come what may (Moulin Rouge)

Sometimes I wonder if the skaters are actually in on the joke.

If the RD turns out to be a Michael Jackson fest, I may be taking some very long fridge breaks. I know that enjoying the music is not the same as approving of the artist, but after all the revelations about his behaviour around young boys, I really have no desire to listen to his music or to see skaters perform to it.

I thought the rules implied that the song should be recorded in the 1980s, i.e. not covers. Maybe I misunderstood.

That’s a lot of musical cuts coming.

 

[Rukia]

omg against all odds I used to listen to that on 45! idk how they can get away with the Glee cast cover though I'm with Theatregirl1122 in that I thought that breaks the rules

So did I. That’s why Piper and Paul are using the Lover Speaks version of No More I Love You’s.

No, no. It's noted 80s artist Joe Janett. Don't we all know about Joe?

 

[peibeck]

I have no scoop about the new 23/24 programs, but I'm going to guarantee that in 24/25 and 25/26 we're going to get inundated with programs from the Netflix pirate series "One Piece" score.

[Theatregirl1122]

Can’t believe no one is skating to sea shanties yet.

Can’t believe no one is skating to sea shanties yet.

Orihara and Pirinen's sea shanty man-eating mermaid was one of the best FDs last year! I'm hoping the trend will continue.

 

[KCC]

Embarrassing to say that when I hear "Holding Out for a Hero", I think of the Shrek animated movie.

I do too. It fit into that film so well.

And IIRC Shae Lynn Bourne and Victor Kraatz used Tom Waits' "Little Drop of Poison" which was also on that soundtrack.

SP: Bird Gerhl by Anthony and the Johnsons, Anohni
FS: Bolero by Ravel

http://www.isuresults.com/bios/isufs00014227.htm

Bravo to Kevin for choosing something daring for the SP. Not a fan of that song but I'm glad he's pushing the boundaries.

However, he'd better be doing something radical with Bolero.

As one of the few people on here who loves Bolero I'm very interested to see what Kevin can do with it.

Can we please ban "Notre Dame de Paris" and "Je suis malade"? For good?!

 

[Frau Muller]

He’ll finish with some crazy leg splits, I can imagine.

It's been done already.

 

[overedge]

I love it too. But I don't want to see yet another program with someone wearing a red and black costume and stomping dramatically around the ice.

 

[Karen-W]

How about purple & gold?

As one of the few people on here who loves Bolero I'm very interested to see what Kevin can do with it.

I don't like Kevin's version. It seems rather empty, especially in the second half where he's just stroking and pumping his arms while going from one jumping pass to the the next. Maybe it's a strategy to cut out some of the choreography in order to focus on landing clean jumps. Granted, it's early in the season, but I thought his LP last season at Worlds to Gladiator was quite empty too.

Is knees slide-on-ice a thing this season like cartwheel-on-ice was last season ? The problem is that these skaters aren't holding the slide position once they're down to the ice. They go down and then quickly get back up, diminishing any dramatic impact of the slide. I didn't like it when Jason did it in his LP last year either. You have to execute the knees slide like Paul Wylie's.

Thanks for sharing Paul Wylie's performance to Why God. Such an exceptional performance!
