I think part of being a fan is being able to also offer constructive criticism, so here it goes: I tried to get into the FD programme yesterday but couldn't. The costumes were very distracting. Gabby looked more like she was going to skate a ballroom-themed kind of dance. Nothing about that dress matched the music nor Guillaume's costume. Neither the colour, nor the style. She's all glamourous, he's all plain and in a colour that doesn't go with anything too. What's glamourous about Elegie? On the contrary, it's a flowy, mesmerizing kind of music that IMO needs free hair and a Moonlight Sonata kind of dress. I can understand not going for that so that they aren't accused of repeating themselves, but this is a step too far towards the other direction. Regarding the actual performance, the camera work was very distracting so I think we missed many angles and special moments. Still, I thought he was 100% into it while her not as much. I'm still confident that this will grow on me (and them) by the Olympics, but for the moment, I don't get any special vibes from it, which is not what I wanted to feel like at the start of the Olympic season. Also, I spotted the copying of the head-back kick from To build a home during the highlight the first time I saw this programme and was disappointed. Yes it's a nice moment, but did it have to be a repeat of another programme? I tend to get really attached to such moments and when they are copy-pasted into a different programme and music, I get very annoyed. A/P used to do that and I found it very distracting.
There, I've said it. I still love them to death, I'm just a bit
at some of their choices this year.
