2025-26 Program Music and Choreographers

I'm already envisioning the PR answer, the song has taken on a new meaning, Maia is a cancer survivor, etc. Then comes the inevitable internet comments about how Alex's version if helping his sister involves screaming in her face about how much of a bitch she is.

It's gonna be a long olympic season y'all.

To everything you just wrote. Had all the same thoughts.

This is my new favourite program. Don't even need to see it first

 

[Spikefan]

Someone decided to just say F it.

You have to admit that this seems more authentically Jimmy than Turandot does

 

[Kateri]

Yeah, sorry, this is just rude of them. If they can't even summon up the energy to give us a new FD, and giving us reheated leftovers yet again, I'm done. I don't like calling skaters lazy, because we don't know what's going on in their lives, but if they really couldn't manage that much, they should not have come back.

Announcement: I wrote this post while half asleep and grumpy at a bus stop, and under the conviction that the Shibs had already repeated Fix You as a FD at least once. Upon reflection (and checking wikipedia), it turns out I was wrong about this, and was probably thinking of the exhibition version.

I would therefore like to retract the words "yet again". That is all.

Also, Jimmy, what the hell, man?

Actually, they did include a portion of Fix You (the music) in their 2018 Oly FD. They started the season with just Paradise and then at Nats showed up with a portion of Fix You edited in.

Yeah I was going to say this is definitely the 3rd time they've had at least part of Fix You in a program and the 2nd time to retread past stuff (I'm counting their Paradise program as a retread which I realize may be a hot take but i'm standing by it).

I KNEW IT!! i'm re-adding the "yet again"

I’m not defending them, especially in light of recent events, but I posted this earlier in the thread…

As much as I'd like the Shibs to skate to something besides Coldplay, I think many of the posters are mis-remembering how very little Fix You was used in the 17-18 Paradise FD. They had a musical phrase in from Fix You on the GP series, and then added lyrics/music in for Nats and Olympics. From their SL lift the lyrics went 'stuck in reverse'. Then it went back to Paradise or some transitional music (not Fix You) through the stationary lift. Then came the lyrics 'lights will guide you home' into the twizzles, but the music for the twizzles was back to Paradise for the rest of the program. Maybe :17 of Fix You in total.

Although I can see where some might think all Coldplay songs sound alike

I remember exactly how much but at the end of the day the vibes that are off and alex shibutani is the #1 reason why so anyway i'm just taking it all out on this music choice
