2024 Finlandia Trophy Free Dance PBP - Thank You For Being a Finn

[Karen-W]

It was yesterday.

Actually, it was Friday. Pairs had a day off between SP & FS.

Counter-rotation twizzles, you can just see him have to slow way down to match her not getting any ice coverage, but I'm still claiming that seeing both them and Chock/Bates at Skate America, the Brits are closer together on it and they still have more speed and distance.

I liked this dance in Dallas, and the crowd got into it as well. All 100 people.

 

[MacMadame]

I don't think this program does Fear & Gibson any favours.

It's boring. So far anyway.

 

[SkateFanBerlin]

Fear & Gibson - insipid pop tunes after the sophisticated Finns tango. Did anyone else feel it fell flat?

 

[Karen-W]

LMAO - it's so obvious they have crowd noise edited into their music and it's not the audience getting revved up at all. This program is so bad.

Well, there you go.

"Insipid" when it comes to one of the all-time top selling and performing artists. Ahh, FSU, never change.

Was it 'loud banging rock music' or whatever you called Kagiyama's music once upon a time?

 

[Belsornia]

I haven't got bingo, but if I'm killing one costume from this event it's Lewis'. It's an ice dance crime to have him all in black with zero sparkles.

The crowd actually did get into it in Texas, though. Very much so.

Pre Oly year is the time for throwaway programs, I guess.

 

[her grace]

Fear/Gibson

Her leg line is a bit ragged, especially noticeable in the choreo spinning move, the first half of the program is rather dull, but it brightens toward the end. I liked the Finns better, but no way are judges going to go with that

 

[skategal]

This FD just makes me wish solo ice dance was a category at Worlds so Lewis could win it.

 

[honey]

The Halo part goes on way too long in this.

I think this is their weakest FD since like 2019. But I don’t expect it to matter.

 

[TAHbKA]

I reazlie I should be watching Fear/Gibson, but Hagenauer is so much more entertaining

Lewis vs. J-L Baker please.

 

[Primorskaya]

This sounds like it's supposed to be mega-energy and make the house clap along but it feels flat, I hate that music mashup almost as much as Chock & Bates', and there's no cohesion to it. Another poor choice of programme this season!

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I still worry about Lilah competing here given that we know how little women are actually supported in that group. That's going to be the line of thought I think all the time now.

I vote for single gender so we could get both Madi H and Gabby as well as Lewis and Jean Luc.

 

[miffy]

I love the teddies with matching costumes

 

[Aceon6]

Lewis vs. J-L Baker please.

No, together!

I think there are other Beyonce songs that would suit them better.

 

[Karen-W]

You mean to tell me that a TEXAS crowd got into a program with music performed by a TEXAN?!

That would be like... I dunno... An Atlanta crowd going hog-assed-wild for a gymnast doing a floor routine to "Devil Went Down to Georgia". Oh, wait... That happened. In 1996.

 

[NinjaTurtles]

Change my mind, Beyoncé’s only good song is Bills Bills Bills.

 

[TAHbKA]

The insane Korean in front of me must have lost his voice - he is screaming with the lungs and not vocal chords

 

[miffy]

Ahhh Jean Luc was so amazing, what is he doing now?

 

[Primorskaya]

Those are the costumes people have been working themselves up into a frothing rage about??
I like 'em.

 

[LeafOnTheWind]

I do like Halo and I generally hate love songs. They did use Halo too much and need to switch to something livelier sooner.

 

[Marta24]

I would be fine with L/B winning Euros

 

[MacMadame]

That dress is all sorts of wrong. I know some people hate his bare back but I like it.
