"In her first interview since her #ToyotaUSChamp21 withdrawal due to a positive COVID-19 test, Paige Rydberg opens up about what happened & how she's learned from the experience.
She also talks about her programs & goals for the new season" - article by FigureSkatersOnline.com:

In the Olympic season, Paige Rydberg wants “no regrets” - Figure Skaters Online

The 2020-2021 figure skating season was full of uncertainty for all skaters. Still, when Paige Rydberg looks back at it, she calls it her best season yet -- despite it not looking like that on the surface.

ETA that I've posted her music in the Programs/Choreographers thread:
SP: Celine Dion’s cover of Peggy Lee’s “Fever”
FS: “Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace)” by the Australian praise and worship group Hillsong Worship
Choreographer: Ilona Melnichenko

She plans to debut her programs at the Broadmoor Open later this month (Senior Ladies events are June 29-30).

Mariah performed her SP music in a camp exhibition in Minnesota earlier today - here's a fan cam: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuXfiUuiWcI
The Fan Zone article last month said it's a mashup from Lady Gaga's Chromatica album - instrumental tracks, sound effects and songs "911" and "Rain on Me" -- with input from choreographer Cordeo Zuckerman (a.k.a. Denali Foxx) on Vogue-inspired gestures, etc.

I like the last 20 seconds the most. Starts off a bit slow but I think could have potential 💕
 
The Chromatica album already has so much to offer- the 50,000 added sound effects aren't doing it for me, nor is the editing of the music itself. The program is new and can/probably will evolve but it's yet another case of being all over the place. :(

Agree. It didn't hold my attention. Mind, I'm distracted with watching both the swimming and track & field trials but my attention wandered to the point where I think I missed a jumping pass...

You probably didn't. She only did two here.

LOL. Yeah, I just went back and re-watched from the tempo change because I knew I had paid attention up to that point. It looks like she marked the third jumping pass after her first spin.

Yes I did notice I feel like they went a little Cray adding in their own extra sounds Lol
 
The edits to that remind me of this DJ they hired for a party at a state convention for clinical laboratory scientists (that right there should tell you what a hopping time it was). Anyway, this DJ kept adding sound effects to every song then yelling, "Let's make some noiiissseeee." No one ever did make the noise requested despite the numerous police sirens he played.

So yeah, I'm not a fan of the sound effects. Thanks for coming to another edition of story time with Rukia.
 
According to TSL's latest video, Gracie Gold is in Switzerland with Stephane Lambiel to be in a "competitive atmosphere" and is bringing back her 2016-17 FS; Daphnis et Chloe. Jeremy Abbott reworked the FS and choreographed the SP which hasn't been announced yet. Dave said that Gracie is "really, really good" right now in practice. Later in the video, TSL stated that Amber Glenn is practicing and has been putting in the 3A in the FS.

The USA has three spots for ladies in the Olympics right?

The 4Lz and 3A! But slightly more viewable
 
No question that Alysa is the one to send to Nebelhorn unless she's really struggling this summer. Even without a quad or 3axel if she just skates like she did at Nationals with just triples she will easily give the US ladies that 3rd spot plus Alysa is always a great competitor when it comes to pressure and i trust her more then Amber for instance. It will also be a great way to give her experience as a senior skater in an international competition.

Totally agree, Amber isn't consistent enough. Alysa is the one to watch, she does well under pressure

Well with that analogy then no question send Amber Glenn!!

But I will be happy with either. I just adored Alysa last season. She was fantastic.
