Starr

 

[Rukia]

Well I have to listen to Lea Michele and watch Starr fall so not a great moment for me personally

 

[peibeck]

Just like Lea Michelle is copying Streisand in this vocal, Starr is paying tribute to Amber's SP.

Mr. thvu loves Glee covers. I live in a perpetual hell.

 

[Colonel Green]

Starr overcomes that bad start to finish reasonably well just like Lea Michele overcame being exposed as a horrible person to rescue the Broadway revival of Funny Girl.

 

[YourBorneo]

Being Good Isn’t Good Enough.

Sigh.

 

[JoannaLouise]

I loved seeing how joyful Starr was at Skate Canada last year when she won the bronze medal. I wish she could recapture that.

 

[Lizziebeth]

disappointing for Starr, but she finally got it together later in the program

not a fan of the music at all

 

[Rukia]

rip to you
although I told my friends on discord i wanted to ban all glee covers from figure skating and they spammed me with will schuester gifs so I got double hatecrimed somehow

meanwhile AMBER

Don’t let Disney on Ice grab Starr just yet!

 

[Private Citizen]

Starr's triple flip kick is approaching Caroline Zhang levels of awkward.

 

[peibeck]

Fall and downgrade city, for Starr.

Maybe we should only send Isabeau to Worlds?

 

[Frau Muller]

Starr wins my (Jimmy) MA TROPHY of this discipline!

I think @Rukia was asking for more Glee cast. The mule kick on the flip jump was really out of control for Andrews today & it through her off in the air both times.

97.06 = 3rd Place
154.42 = 3rd Place

It's very risky

 

[floridaice]

Mark has talked about several skaters having injury or illness that have impacted their training time. It has to be hard to compete when you know your stamina isn't there, but for some it may be the only opportunity to go to a GP. Hard decision to make and hats off to those who are strong / brave enough to participate.

I really hope Starr is able to train as you know she wants to. Yes, she doesn't have all the jumps needed to compete with the top skaters, but her charisma has made me a fan.

this is the meanest thing anyone has ever said to me

 

[Sally1214]

Starr seems amazingly upbeat in the K/C. May as well be, I suppose. Wow, her nails could be used as lethal weapons!!

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Fall and downgrade city, for Starr.

I do keep saying we don’t need 3 spots

 

[jlai]

You can't have both Starr and Amber skating well, skategod doesn't allow

Pelkonen, Nella
Coach: Susanna Haarala
Music: Tourner Dans le Vide by Indila @PRlady

 

[Rukia]

She lands her jumps so flat-footed that I want to review all of them

 

[Colonel Green]

This music is doing nothing for her.

Nice jumps and skating, though (until the second Lutz).

 

[skatingguy]

this is the meanest thing anyone has ever said to me

I'm not sure why, but that feels like a compliment.

 

[Rukia]

I miss the dance beat

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I feel like Nella would have been much better off with something lighter.

 

[her grace]

Strong start from Pelkonen. Way to show that Finnish sisu!

 

[JoannaLouise]

I felt like there wasn't enough variation in that piece of music to make an interesting LP. She skated really well though!
