2025 NHK Trophy Free Dance PBP - Hmmm for the Weekend

[PRlady]

That was hilarious. Obviously the Japanese audience are right there with the Americans in Boston. So entertaining.

They’re like the Harlem Globetrotters of ice dance.

 

[Jay42]

I adore Pirihara so much and that's probably my favourite character choreo sequence of the season but that was noticeably slow in a way that I can usually ignore.

That said, for the ChStep alone, all the points.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Who cares about skating skills when there's awesome trash to be had!

 

[her grace]

Fun Finns

Nice stationary lift to rotational lift, twizzles were fine, dancing in place more than better teams, through the choreo steps, literally, she rolls over top of him, good performance quality, dance technique not as strong

 

[Braulio]

It's like if they knew that skating at the Olympics was noit going to happen so they just went to skate to whatever and make the best out of it

 

[susieB129]

Frantic, manic and at times bordering on ridiculous. Disappointing, since I really liked them last season and was eager to see what they did this year.

 

[mtnskater]

Uggh! Not my cup of tea at all. Too campy/garish and OTT. But to each his own.

 

[Ka3sha]

This is circus, and I dodn't mean that complimenraty

I usually like them, but that was way too much for me

 

[Colonel Green]

Fun as ever.

 

[skatfan]

Loved it! I laughed out loud at the character step.

 

[my little pony]

OMG THEY MIGHT RETIRE??? my fandom is already hanging on by a thread

 

[myhoneyhoney]

The replays are hilariously ridiculous looking

 

[tony]

Massimo this is almost unforgivable.

 

[my little pony]

oh I thought Tony was just being a hater but this looks like maternity wear on Paul

 

[myhoneyhoney]

Poor Paul, his shirt makes him look preggo

 

[Karen-W]

FabAyer are TRYING to put me to sleep. I feel like it's a good time to give Bandit the attention she's decided to beg for just now.

 

[Wyliefan]

We have to retire the choreo step now. No one will ever top that.

 

[Jay42]

Taking a man from Calgary who looks like Paul Ayer and not putting him in a button down shirt and jeans is unforgivable honestly.

Am I saying this because there's a lot of farm land around Calgary? Maybe. But I also firmly believe he would look better in jeans.

 

[peibeck]

"Leave a Light On," good advice for these two's costume designer.

 

[Former Lurve Goddess]

Poor Paul, his shirt makes him look preggo

He's making Kaitlin Weaver's gender-bending hopes for ice dance come true.

 

[Matryeshka]

O/P make me happy. Now, take this exact program, and imagine Lopareva and Brissaud skating to it.

 

[tony]

There's not one person who can convince me IAM had all these programs scheduled for Soucisse/Firus way far in advance and then they said welp, we had the lame choreography and no personality already set so let's just give it to them. And it's too bad because these two are strong skaters.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

If I could stop eating, maybe I could watch the TV screen for more than 10 seconds in a row

 

[Aceon6]

Turn the damn light off so we don’t have to see Paul’s baggy outfit. I liked FabAye when they first hit senior but they are getting pretty generic at IAM.

 

[Wyliefan]

O/P make me happy. Now, take this exact program, and imagine Lopareva and Brissaud skating to it.

I'm honestly not sure that even Lop/Bri could hit that level of unhinged.

 

[Colonel Green]

Well-skated. The things they added to that song to create changes of rhythm are not great fits.

 

[Jay42]

There was a period of time around 7-8 years ago where Leave a Light On was a song I listened to semi obsessively for a little while and this program is making me regret that.

 

[Allen]

Fun, but I prefer their A Chorus Line FD.

I liked that one too, but I generally don't like Moulin Rouge programs and I didn't mind this one.

 

[peibeck]

Alicia mooning us with a major wedgie was the most memorable thing about this program.
