2025 Skate Canada Rhythm Dance PBP - I'm Too Spooky

[genevieve]

That was fun from L/LeG. And it was a cohesive program that they understood - bonus!

 

[peibeck]

While their flaws are obvious, LeGacs are splendidly musical, which makes them a gazillion times more watchable than a team like the over-scored Germans.

 

[Citlali]

These costumes are

The program is watchable

 

[Sally1214]

YEAH!!!! I really enjoyed that. I mean .... how can you not skate well to Prince? LOVE "Cream" .... I kind of missed that part because I was dancing in my chair.

 

[Spikefan]

I just appreciate the Prince song selection.

 

[kwanfan1818]

N/M looked better to me in the replays.

I love Les Gacs: they capture the spirit of enjoying themselves greatly without self-consciousness.

Oh by the way, on the tech panel as controller is Leanna Caron who used to be the President of Skate Canada during the disaster that was Covid, and people were pushing back about her doing little to nothing while she sat in Switzerland.

I know there's always some connection here or there to tech panelists, but being President of an organization is a bit of a conflict for me.

Yeah I saw this called out by someone else earlier and I have to agree. Especially at an event in your country where your teams stand to benefit from soft calling.

Romain LeGac Lovely posture and extensions highlighted by a skin tight Cizeron style mesh top.

 

[Karen-W]

Romain looks like the slimy 30something guy taking his trophy girlfriend to the club. Not his thing.

That would certainly explain the pot belly he looks like he's developing.

I'm a little bit thrown by the idea of Steffan's shirt at a Nirvana concert. I'm kinda wondering what 90s y'all grew up in. The only way Steffan's shirt belongs at a Nirvana concert is if he got lost on the way to the Jimmy Buffett concert (who also had A Moment in the 90s--I know this because my bestie was a Parrot Head and we would ARGUE over what to play in the Discman jimmied into the cassette player in the car because I was most definitely NOT a Parrot Head).

Grunge was about rejecting fashion and wearing oversized, sloppy, weirdly patterned shirts was part of that IME. Not everyone into grunge wore flannel.

 

[Jay42]

Intrigued by Kaitlyn saying that Marie-Jade and Romain's star being on the rise when they've been around for years just in two different countries.

 

[Matryeshka]

I don't care, I'd have the LeGacs in first. I'm here for the vibes, and that was a vibe. A nicely purple one.

 

[BittyBug]

I blame the 120bpm requirement. It's made every single team, even the ones we KNOW are usually quite speedy, look like they're skating through mud.

But isn't the requirement that the music have a minimum of 120 bpm, not be exactly 120 bpm?

AI music, people.

 

[jlai]

scores trend low today

 

[Jay42]

You can really tell Mrazek's music is AI. This sounds terrible and makes absolutely no sense.

 

[Colonel Green]

This is a crime against the New Radicals.

 

[Rukia]

omg this ai music is so bad wow

 

[Wyliefan]

AI music, people.

And sounds like it.

 

[Rukia]

You can really tell Mrazek's music is AI. This sounds terrible and makes absolutely no sense.

they're going to crash a mercedes benz like normal teenage humans do

 

[MacMadame]

You can really tell Mrazek's music is AI. This sounds terrible and makes absolutely no sense.

It's very uncanny valley.

 

[~tapdancer~]

Didn't like that one lift from M/M...she looked like a sack of potatoes being tossed.

 

[Matryeshka]

This is why the Taschlers will always be the superior siblings.

Where is the gagging emoji when I need it oh my God

I'm not sure how you misread my post to mean that the music had to be precisely 120bpm. Beyond that, the point remains that requiring all of the music to be at least 120bpm is making the skaters look slow, even the faster ones.

 

[MacMadame]

They couldn't find two AC/DC songs to skate to?

 

[Belsornia]

What’s with the epidemic of butterflies from the ice dance guys this season?

This AI music is absolute dreck. Aside from ethical issues with AI, how can they listen to that every day?

Mrazeks still messy and struggling to control their power.

 

[Debbie S]

So they used AI to create their own 90s song....in 2025. Oookay....

 

[floridaice]

AI music, people.

the AI lyrics are really terrible -- ditch the lyrics in that part and it might be kind of sorta ok

 

[tony]

Okay so positive is that they actually keep up with the music and I don't hate how the program transitioned into Thunderstruck and how it ended making sense with the choreo step.

But that first AI piece... bleh.
