)It is exactly what they mean to enact in their FD ... from the birth of the first flames to the dancing flames up to the fire dying. Evan literally sucks the air out of the dance!
That makes sense now especially with Evan being the air. I had thought the dress made her look on fire!

Its really interesting to hear your take on seeing the FD live!I was privileged to witness their FD live. It was one of the top 2 aesthetic highlights of the GPF. I did not know anything about the theme, so the way i saw it is that they were portraying a swirling psychodelic painting, something from the 60s. Their body line, hers especially, arms, legs everything goes so well with the costumes, the music, the choreo, i would not change a thing! Also better speed and flow than in the past, and lovely to see them connect and convey such an abstract piece. Its not GG level yet, but its really solid. Top dance of the night for me (and thats after thinking they shld have been the last in RD
Madison and Evan are nominated for the ISU Skating Awards, in Best Costume (Alien) and Most Entertaining Program (Alien) categories.
Vote (requires registration, though):
Candidates of the 2023 ISU Skating Awards and a new Category announced - International Skating Union
The International Skating Union (ISU) is delighted to unveil the long-awaited list of candidates that are vying for a coveted ISU Skating Awards trophy. The winners will be announced on February 5, 2023 in Zurich (SUI). While the ISU Skating Awards Selection Commission has identified a total of...www.isu.org
Looks like the ISU changed the awards to be based on calendar year and not season so the nominations are a mix. Strange, IMO, but oh well.
Especially if it is the 2023 awards!

That Aladdin program is a guilty pleasure for me. I just love the cheesiness and corniness of it, and how well done it is in that vein. And when she hits those beautiful jumps with it, just loved it.Just going to silently post these here:

One section of like the 4-piece program is muted for the LP, but you know what music it is. I knew this program was about the "arms", but had forgotten just how much armography was in that program.
Too silent.
I have no idea what this has to do with C&B. If you're trying to quietly beat a dead horse, perhaps the U.S. men's thread? Or Ilia's thread?

I did like their more extended split slide today. I don't know how hard it is, but it looks cool. I didn't think their lifts were as strong today as in their last skate. Also, those moves where Evan pulls her by the foot seemed a bit off today - not as strong. I'm looking forward to seeing what this program looks like at Worlds. It's fun to watch the program evolve.
Oh, I love the split slide move....from the protocol, that appears to be the choreo spinning movement....I didn't realize it at first since they had been doing that split move as a connecting step/move but looks like they decided to make it an official choreo element. The slide move from Alien at the end threw me off. They've kept us guessing this season.
Haha, I saw what you did there. But they were amazing, and I am so impressed with how far they have come this season after a lackluster and unprepared start. Both programs are working so well now; I guess they and their team actually know what they're doing better than any of us!
