U.S. Women [#8]: Meet Me in St. Louis

The original video was so controversial at the time, hopefully it doesn’t still piss off devout Catholics: https://youtu.be/79fzeNUqQbQ?si=CdhRugguvkvzGpW2

Amber and Isabeau free program dresses all have shades of red to them.

OK the next US American woman has a red free program dress joins them on the Olympic team, oh wait doesn’t Alysa have red in her dress? Black and red. OK I’m already for this.

Her FS dress, not her SP one.

Holy moly I’m one step ahead of myself here aren’t I? Lol.

Amber and Isabeau free program dresses all have shades of red to them.

Speaking of the red dresses, I like Isabeau's new SP dress. Her costumes have improved over the last year. There is one odd silver bit by her left hip that I found a little distracting. But, overall, I really like it.

I also like Amber's SP dress.

I think both of their short programs look great for so early in the season. Isabeau often is very tentative early in the season, but she hasn't been tentative in her early competitions this season. And Amber looked really happy and comfortable during her short.

I said this in the pbp thread, but she needs to fix the music edit at the end. It doesn't work at all.

I think it’s fine. Love the program!

Looking at this photo, the silver thing appears to be a set of lips

Nah, it's just a silver sequined applique in the shape of a large, winged brooch.

Imma continue thinking it’s literal bizous. It’s more fun that way.

I can't tell. Now it's going to be even more distracting.

Kevin did Judas by Lady Gaga in his short program which is what I hope Alysa would do instead of disease, that is a very good track for figure skating. And he was a fully realized Lady Gaga. He sold me a ticket to her next show. I know she can do it and I hope she takes note.

I think it’s fine. Love the program!

I agree. It was actually Kevin's SP music edit that I found jarring. (Sorry ANL! I love Kevin and thought the footwork sequence was fun, but I did not like that music edit. Or maybe it's more that I don't like the combination of the different pieces of music in one program. It was like two completely different programs.)

Also, for anyone who hasn't seen Amber's short program yet, here it is:

I’m just not a fan of any music edits in general. if I was a figure skater I will stick to one song and one song only and that’s it.

As far as the gaga piece Judas which is the piece I’m advocating for Alysa, he fully became gaga in the choreography.



For instance, I’m watching Caroline and Michael right now and those are not good edits in my opinion at all.

But Gaga could be a really good choice for Alysa

If Caroline and Michael would just take out "I'm too sexy," their edit would be just fine and they are far from the only team/competitor with a janky music edit this competitive season.

As far as music edits done right, I love all the different edits in Starr's "Girls" Short Program. I also love the choreography and the way Starr performs the choreography. Kudos to her!

I found Ava Marie Ziegler's short program from Nepela. I'm so happy she's healthy and competing again internationally. More red short program costumes. Actually, I this the same costume she used a couple of years ago?

And here's Elyse Lin-Gracey's short program, with kind of a dark maroon dress. Not a fan of this costume. I don't think it's flattering:

Thanks for all the vids! Really enjoyed Starr's program, that is a good edit of that song and she's very connected to the music throughout.

This is a man's world is always a song that makes me ill, but Ava looks great and I really love the step sequence, especially the beginning.
