Hey, it’s a lazy Sunday afternoon at the Mueller household. Time to do lists for favorite programs so far, since we’ve now seen most skaters, with very few exceptions (eg, Tennell). I’ve included both srs and jrs. Focus on programs rather than just the skaters…for ex, I love Trusova but not so much her programs.
WOMEN Many! My fave discipline.
SP
Jeonjeong Park - Chopin Ballade (absolute fave SP, any discipline!)
Sinitsyna - Tchaikovsky Lullaby (close second)
Liu - Don Q gypsy dance
Levito - The Swan
Papp - Slumdog Millionaire
Shabotova - Carol of the Bell
Kurakova - Steppe by Rene Aubry
Venetta - David’s Writings
LP
Higuchi - Lion King (fave LP, any discipline!)
Scherbakova - Master & Margarita (grown on me! Love all three cuts of music)
Finley Hawk - Armenian Rhapsody/ Desert Rose (would love to see it skated cleanly
)
Liu - Tchaikovsky Violin Con.
Tuktamysheva - Arabian Fun Schlock (!)
Papp - 42nd Street
Samodelkina - slow Carmen Habanera
Guttman - Scheherazade…with intoxicating middle section of a rare Tchaikovsky piano piece…WOW!
MEN
SP
Brown - Sinnerman, for 2nd yr in a row. In my top-ten Pantheon of greatest ever anything!
Litvintsev - Bells of Moscow
Lucas Broussard - Gin Tonic
Wlm Annis - Wake me up when Sept Ends
Cha - Clockmaker
Sato - Four Seasons
Carrillo - Santa Esmeralda medley…for plain fun & cheese…he’s the male Tuktamysheva in performance factor!
LP
Yuma Kagiyama - Gladiator piano version (masterpiece #1 men’s LP of season!)
Ignatov - Tchaikovsky Piano Concerto
Tomono - LaLaLand (best footwork of yr!)
Chen - Mozart Lacrymosa
Brezina - Summer of ‘69 (happiness!)
PAIRS
SP
Pavliuchenko/Khodikin - BE ITALIAN! (#1 pair routine by a mile…SP or LP)
Sui/Han - Mission Imp: Nyah
Tarasova/Morozov - Galatea (makes up for, to me, dull LP)
LP
Sui/Han - Bridge over Troubled Waters 2021 version
Mishina/Galiamov - Snowstorm and Time Forward…especially the last minute
Miura/Kihara - WO-MAN
Safina/Berulava - In This Shirt
Kops/Krasnopolski - Impossible Dream (actually brought tears to my eyes at Nebelhorn)
Mukhortova/Evgeniev - Sinatra medley (so emotional, how it builds)
DANCE
RD…very few…can’t stand music in this theme, especially cringe-worthy when costumes include hoodies and the skaters make “mean face” in the opening pose, to show that they live in The ‘Hood. Exhibit A: Browns. Exhibit B: #2 French.
Enjoy only two: Pap/Ciz and Smart/Diaz.
Zagorsky/Guerreiro’s Hindu rap - may make the list, based on test skate. Will we ever see it in competition?
FD
Pap/Ciz - Faure Etude the absolute #1
Hawayek/Baker - Chopin
Green/Parsons - Ezio Bosso medley (inventive!)
Gilles/Poirier- Long & Winding Road (something about it is so touching…I can’t watch without crying)
Smart/Diaz - Zorro
Wolfkostin/Chen - Rain in your black eyes
