Skate America 2023 - Rhythm Dance- “All My Edges Live in Texas”

[Wyliefan]

Son thought this would be a barbenheimer program.

That would be epic. Someone's GOT to do that.

I love, love, love everything about Lajoie's outfit. Still don't like his jacket, however authentic.

I love them.

Lajoie, Marjorie/Lagha, Zachary
Coach: R. Haguenauer, M.-F. Dubreuil, P. Denis
Music: Michael Jackson Medley

SqTwW4+SqTwM4
MiStW1+MiStM1
Pattern Step 1, 2 after review
Choreo Rhythm Seq
Rotational Lift 4

This was a great skate. I loved the attack, and intensity from the beginning culminating in that rotational lift that was just flying. They picked a more accessible 80's style, and it worked for them. Matthew Caron really nailed Zach's jacket.

77.80 = 1st Place

 

[Aceon6]

LaLa we’re great. Zach is so good at going out of his comfort zone. It doesn’t hurt that his musicianship shows on the accents. This should be 80+ worthy by winter.

 

[jlai]

The Canadians held my attention but I feel they are doing anti clockwise circles the entire dance

 

[Frau Muller]

LaLa - pretty good but he seems more shy than Marjorie.

 

[Kateri]

L/l this is the role he was born to play. He ate that up. Son thought this would be a barbenheimer program. Thought their fw looked sloppy though.

Your son is a visionary.

 

[Wyliefan]

Wow, he looks super broody now. What a contrast to how he looked during his performance and he hasn’t even received his score yet.

He heard you and tried valiantly to perk up.

 

[kirkbiggestfan]

I only watch Zach. He overpowers her too much. Give him Olivia Smart!

 

[peibeck]

There's a lot of "O" face skating going on trying to distract that from their feet not always being very clean.

I love this team's potential, but they were a bit sloppy to my eye today.

 

[Primorskaya]

His outfit, I can't stop complaining. It makes him have no neck in his movements and makes it look like his shoulders are up to his ears. There was definitely a small slip coming around the corner after midline step.

Did they actually put ombre effect on his butt-crack??? That is the worst idea of a all of the outfits we've seen and will ever see.

 

[Sally1214]

WHEEEE for "Thriller" ...... loved that!

 

[Wyliefan]

Prayer circle for Michael's lifts!

 

[VGThuy]

L/B had higher TES.

 

[Matryeshka]

Is Lopreva's coach wearing a full-on Ocean Pacific 80s Golf shirt? If so, I will uber them forever. I mean, I was probably gonna do that anyway

L/L's program leaves me cold. Who'd expect a Thriller version to be boring? Their entire program is her hair and his jacket. This is like the pumpkin spice latte/ranch sauce version of Thriller. They should call it Mildly Apprehensive instead.

 

[Wyliefan]

Caroline must have spent half the day doing her eye makeup!

What else would one expect of them, really?

 

[airgelaal]

And now what I listened to in my dad’s car throughout my childhood

 

[ilovesalchows]

Finally someone captures the Butt Rock 80s. Lang and Tchernyshev are rocking out to this for sure.

 

[Wyliefan]

Great energy and some very good levels!

 

[thvu]

I love Still Loving You. I actually think Green & Parson's are doing well with it. I would want them to up the trash, but I'm surprised how there seems to be an idea and a full concept with this program, something they haven't had so far. Even a month old, there's a lot of promise in this RD. Dumping the old one was a great choice.

 

[viennese]

1980s West Germany just lost its mind over this SD

 

[ilovepaydays]

Green/Parsons looked a bit too sluggish and slow here. I feel like they are giving me melatonin here.

 

[Frau Muller]

G/P - A winner of an RD!

 

[peibeck]

Green/Parsons seem a bit tentative and slow after the Canadians.

 

[tony]

Twizzles may have been clean but ridiculously basic compared to almost every other team. I thought the program was lacking a lot of complexity and there was just a lot of pushes and face-to-face gliding with not too much going on.

I know everyone loves them here, but they continue to just be okay for me.

And I was thinking of a straight-line step Lang Tchernyshev did to this music at one point, so there's that.

 

[kwanfan1818]

Caroline Green looks like she's having the time of her life in that program.

 

[Kateri]

Caroline must have spent half the day doing her eye makeup!

She has a great look, but I want to argue that it's more a late '90s/early '00s goth/rock look than an '80s one. That red snakeprint is SO specific.

 

[dupa]

Oh yeah, now this I'm feeling in my special region! PML

 

[VGThuy]

It looks like G/P had solid level calls for this time in the season but the GOE seems lower than the current top top teams.
