^^^ Thanks! Blackwell mentioned in the new Golden Skate article I've posted in the U.S. Men's news thread that he added a new piece ("The Day We Choose to Die") at the beginning of his FS and kept the other music cuts from last season's program.

Benoit Richaud working with Adam Siao Him Fa (includes his "Take 5" SP), Isabeau Levito (POTC FS) and Stephen Gogolev ("Smalltown Boy" by Bronski Beat) at his camp in Courmayeur earlier this summer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0AMf_nzokVw&t=1066s

Olivia Smart gave a hint on her podcast for the RD but you have to go back through her previous videos to find it as she said she had played the music on one of them.

Ooooo I think I figured out what Olivia and Tim are skating to for the RD. She gave a hint on Whatever this is. On Tiktok someone suggested it was Ramalama Bang Bang which she said was one of the pieces of music she really wanted to skate to in an episode. I think that might be what they are going to use for a March because it absolutely lends itself to that. And I skated to it years ago so I know it really well.

Don't know what they will use for a waltz but if that is being used for the program, I cannot wait to see it.

ETA - Rosalia has a few waltzes which could go with Ramalama. Now that would be a cool combination.

Anyone who remembers how CRAZY I was about this during SYTYCD Season Two, when Va. Beach native Travis Wall was competing...

I didn't think I could look forward to this season MORE!!
 
I’ve been dying for someone to skate to that version of Pompeii. It is perfect for skating. I’m excited about it!

I love the way they have announced it. Tim does good zombie.

However when I saw the wedding photos I thought Olivia and Jean Luc might have already gotten married :lol:

I can't wait to see the costumes for this.

And yet there’s no fax…

I swear, as I live and drink…
 

Florence and the machines version from yellow jackets.

I really like it when it gets to 2:28

Gwennie’s version was a song of protest, Florence is one of the warning. Chillzzzzz.

I predicted this after her comments on the House of Maher podcast, given it was on her 25-26 playlist but Amber never used it in the olympic season.

Excited for this, I used the same piece for one of my aerial performances. Curious how they’ll do the music cuts for a short.
 
Hey @AngieNikodinovLove (ANL): I hope your FAX is properly plugged in!

A few more music announcements have been reposted to Reddit. I don't have any other social media so I don't have the original links to these.

Amber Glenn: LP is Exogenesis: Symphony Pt.3 (Redemption)

Wesley Chiu: SP is Adios Noninos choreo by Joey Russel

Lol I just walked in the door and I just saw it randomly on Instagram myself this very moment as well… I don’t know how I feel about it though. Lol

A return to when everything changed.
Before I ever got to compete this FS I suffered a severe concussion and then went into survival mode.
Many great things came from this program
First In competition Triple Axel ,First National Title.
Now It's time to start over again.🤍

It was the first thing that popped up on my Instagram. IG knows me too well.

I'll say how I feel about it. I'm both surprised and disappointed. It's a new quad and a great time to try something new. Especially after her reaction to Jacob's LP music, I thought she might do something related to anime or something like that.

On the bright side, you no longer have to take that road trip. :D

What’s Jacob’s music? And what was her reaction to it?

I’ll stay open minded for the time being but you know she did repeat a program last year and now she’s repeating another… although is part three different? All I know is I anointed Exogenesis a warhorse like what three years ago was it?

I would be so very curious to see her do a free program that’s not soft and lyrical but powerful and loud.
