The Dance Hall 13: When You Dance on the Ice and Your Feet Twizzle Twice, That's Amore

Human musicians can't make much money regardless of AI, what with streaming. So, they make money via touring. Will people buy tickets for a concert "featuring" AI artists? I know there are events like that ABBA thing, but how viable is that?

I didn't even know about AI music until the FD thread this weekend.

Maybe it's time to open a separate thread on AI music?

I am officially on board with the Lithuanians' surge this season. They are well-prepared, and while they are trashy as ever (complimentary), their FD is a breath of fresh air as most everyone else is doing boring, slow, and/or recycled FDs. And obviously the RD is a standout.

Finally caught up with Skate Canada, and it's fascinating to me how all three top teams (C/B, G/F, G/P) demonstrated the importance of doing a Challenger or a senior B instead of debuting at a GP event. And it's significantly more important when they go against a team that had the ability to prepare for the season months before they could. Assuming no injuries were involved (which is the case for G/F and G/P and a question mark for C/B), they all made a very poor decision IMHO.

As many teams this season, Mrazeks had issues to find the right music for the 120bpm requirement. They had Aerosmith in combination with ACDC, but received feedback that Aerosmith was too lyrical. It doesn't excuse using AI, but I'm more blaming the IDTC making it so difficult for the teams, because they want them to go viral on Tik Tok. I'm also blaming Zanni, because of all the teams he is coaching, he does this to the one going to the Olympics. In the end the Mrazeks will get all the criticism piled on them and potentially being a laughingstock at the Olympics.

Needless to say, but I want them to leave Zanni as soon as possible.

Aerosmith is too lyrical? The ISU really does exist in a bizzaro universe.

Sadly they will go viral for all the wrong reasons.

Maybe the IDTC should have just sent teams and coaches the exact playlist of songs they want to hear all season.

Well, I've just seen the biggest F-U to the IDTC's insanity that is this year's RD theme.

Nicole Kirsanov & Kejin Pang competing at the US Dance Finals in juniors have used "Getting Jiggy With It", "Man, I Feel Like a Woman!" and "Macarena" for their music. I applaud them for responding to the insanity with the insanity it deserves.
