2024 GPdF Rhythm Dance PBP - Voulez-Vous Wedger Avec Moi?

[Allen]

I do not get this program from G/F at all. I love You Make Me Feel, but that seemed out of nowhere.

 

[marbri]

I was enjoying that until that pause before the last music edit. Unless my sound cut out?

eta... I like their costumes

 

[Private Citizen]

Fully 50% of the volume of the clapping is coming from Babs alone. No idea how she manages to make so much noise.

I wanted to like the program, but it fell flat with the audience.

 

[Aceon6]

Ugh. I hate the last minute of GuiFab’s RD. Fix it, Babs, pullleeeze!

 

[Citlali]

These costumes are much more interesting than the program

Good solid skate, but they are normally more artistiK and interesting, this was pretty

 

[my little pony]

ugh suspenders are - 50

the whole thing would have been so much fresher if they just used Sylvester

2nd season in a row that team lopacheva has one of the only rhythm dances that doesnt look like it was made for a cruise ship

 

[tony]

Cute program. Didn’t see it before.

Dicey moment for him in the early part of pattern step but it was covered pretty well.

Still think they are the best in the world, but not sure this is going to get a strong argument from in defense of them.

 

[Hanna]

Pfft, I thought the midline steps and turns definitely looked deeper than anyone before them, but Mr. Molina and his all-male panel say NON!

 

[MacMadame]

I was enjoying that until that pause before the last music edit. Unless my sound cut out?

Lots of complaints about music edits so let's mark off "jarring music cuts"

 

[swissskate]

Charlène & Marco should have been crowned World champions a long time ago

 

[her grace]

G/F

Excellent basics and glide, middle section kinda drug, good unison

 

[Wyliefan]

We Italians are good at that.

 

[genevieve]

The costumes looked like they should have done a popping and locking program. Now I want to see that - but only if the team that does it can really do it.

 

[Allen]

Charlene's overalls are something

ugh suspenders are - 50

the whole thing would have been so much fresher if they just used Sylvester

2nd season in a row that team lopacheva has one of the only rhythm dances that doesnt look like it was made for a cruise ship

Agreed, a Sylvester medley would have been better...but I'm also not sure they are disco enough for a full Sylvester program.

 

[my little pony]

though seeing Barbara happy gives me joy, im giving back 10 points from the suspender deduction

 

[tony]

Marco’s arms have grown this year

 

[MacMadame]

Oh, I got BINGO again!

There are way too many costumes I want to kill. Let's go with Reed'Ambr

 

[Karen-W]

That is NOT a good score. Even with FearGib's terrible FD, I think we may see new Euro champs this year.

 

[Sally1214]

I wasn't blown away by Charlene and Marco .... not quite sure why. That slide/roll over move looked awkward but it's early in the season. But, hey, seeing Babs with her stopwatch always makes my day.

Oh, it's okay, Mark .... you can say that they "take the title" even though the FD hasn't been skated. We all know how this is going to end.

[Desperado]

The mustard and ketchup for the hot potato please!

Mustard and Ketchup is all I’ll be seeing from now on.

 

[MacMadame]

Here's the final count:


“Artistic” camerawork
Cartwheels
Costumes not matching
Cutouts in costume
Hairorgraphpy/ armography
Heart hands
Jarring music cuts
Photo in KnC
Pop Superstar music
Singing/lip-synching
Tan boots
Voiceovers


Added for next time

Headband/ tiara
Tights over boots	Not boot covers

(But I might combine tights over boots and boot covers)

Also, heart hands seem to be on the way out. We need something better for the free space.

 

[her grace]

I think all of the world medalists are showing their age and aren’t as sharp as they once were.

 

[tony]

That is NOT a good score. Even with FearGib's terrible FD, I think we may see new Euro champs this year.

It’s a tough technical panel and they didn’t really skate it that cleanly. The pattern step should theoretically be a high scorer and It probably wasn’t here.

I think tights over boots & boot covers should be combined.

Also - Pink Sweater Ladies cameo should be added! Maybe make that the center square?

[MacMadame]

Also, the GP often doesn't predict the back half of the season. Remember when so many were touting Alissa Cziany for a OGM after she won SC. And then she bombed Nationals and didn't even make the team.

 

[MacMadame]

I think tights over boots & boot covers should be combined.

Yes

Also - Pink Sweater Ladies cameo should be added! Maybe make that the center square?

Yes!
