Guignard / Fabbri's RD music: (from ISU App)



From ISU Communication 2560:



I see a music violation deduction coming...

I don’t understand why they would choose any cover, or why they need two versions at all. The original song is over 5 minutes, plenty of time for cuts.

Edit to add: I listened to both of the listed versions and the original - I wonder if it’s a tempo thing, the original is quite fast. But I must say the Adam Lambert version doesn’t sound 80s at all.

Unfortunately Guignard/Fabbri - whom I love! - probably aren't drawing inspiration from this iconic lip sync which is a massive missed opportunity.

The song choices themselves are good but I just don't know how well the covers will work or how it will go over, and that makes me nervous.

I've been wondering, does IAM have any junior teams at all this year aside from Scott's two young Canadian teams? I know they just had a couple of junior teams move up this season, but they don't seem in a hurry yet to add more. Seems odd to see so many of their teams dominating the senior scene, while all these strong junior teams are coming up from other coaching centers.

Marie-France obviously lurks.

See my first thought was the cover from the fairy godmother in Shrek 2
 
Somebody should contact Charlene and Marco on their social media accounts and notify them of the language of the rule and the deductions that could incur. Better to fix the issue now than maybe get away with it at a Challenger or even one or both GP events only to face a needless deduction later at the GPF, Euros, or Worlds as word could build up about this possible deduction for it to be used strategically.

There's a version of "Against All Odds" that is appropriately 80s, but I hope to skate gods they don't discover it or even hear it, ever. For some reason, the producers had Anne Reinking perform the song at the Academy Awards instead of Phil Collins and well... YouTube can be such a double-edged sword for performers:

- YouTube

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

Ugh I remember that. It was a bizarre decision and I never liked Ann Reinking as a singer or actress.

Any insight into why Lajoie & Lagha have pulled out of Autumn Classic? It doesn't seem like the kind of choice they would make on purpose. (They compete early on the GP at SA so would more likely want to get their first competition in front of the judges early on the CS + get some homefield input before going out. They're still signed up for Nepela, but it doesn't seem quite as optimal for their schedule to start there).

Also, it seems highly likely SC would have invited a different team for one of its other two berths at the Autumn Classic if they'd had any idea L&L wouldn't be there.

I was wondering too. Looking at the field, Autumn Classic would have been an easy win for them.
 
Well, Reed & Ambrulevicius were also signed up there & pulled out too so the the top 2 ranked teams are both out.

Yeah... It's kind of strange, IMO, since ACI is in Montreal too, so this should have been an easy comp for both of them.

I mentioned this in the Challenger thread, but also... Where are Team KoKo? They only have NHK on the GP, so you'd think they'd have done at least one of these September Challengers.
 
Unless they’ve had a really recent injury I don’t see why LaLa would WD - video clips from HPC showed them looking good? Maybe they didn’t get the feedback they wanted and so are making changes to the programmes?

This is really weird, and they post videos of practice and off-ice, so it doesn't seem there's any kind of injury involved.
 
It’s easy to root for them. They took a gamble switching to MIDA, spoke with candor about how tough the transition was, obviously worked very hard throughout last season to get that FD to a place where it felt bright at Worlds, placed 6th at their Worlds debut, and continue to push themselves in trying something fresh this season.
 
Not sure about G&P FD. It is not modern enough for me nto innovative enough and not classics. I am a bit confused as to what it is and how to think about it.

I get that. Maybe one can look at it as something else. There's a broad spectrum in-between total innovation and classic. It's also early in the season, and of course, at this stage, the teams should be building up the levels and getting comfortable enough so they can focus on performance and hitting the choreo with meaning.

This FD looks excellent.

the movement, construction and choreography are fresh and wonderful. i really like the program itself. i still feel like the skaters need so much more power and smoothness, though their overall quality is very good. it is early in the season, so i anticipate improvements in those areas.
