^^ That's what happened at Skate Canada, but J/C made sure this time that the music is still playing as they slide to a halt. It's just that the judges can't hear the music still playing because of the crowd noise. Another "With you" lyric is heard as the slide is coming to a stop. The position Vanessa is in is quite difficult for Morgan to roll her out of at the same time he's trying to stop momentum. But once again, the music has not quite ended. It's too bad the judges can't hear it over the crowd noise. Morgan raised his fist in celebration, but he also quickly caught himself, in time.
In any case, V&M knew from their debut there's a music violation issue, and they have been trying to address it. To be honest, the judges skimp on their scores to begin with. J/C's transitions are difficult and executed beautifully, and they should be receiving many more points in that area than other teams. The choreo, interpretation and GOE on well-executed elements should also be higher for J/C, but consistently tend to be kept down a tad. For this performance, I think J/C should have received a few more points in the PCS category. Their fp did receive higher PCS overall than their sp, but despite a couple of tech snafus in the sp, J/C still should have scored higher in the sp on transitions, composition, and interpretation.
They absolutely have the best costumes, programs and the best connection on the ice among pairs teams. Other teams are inspired by them and trying to catch up with them. I think V&M should be receiving better GOE and higher scores for transitions, composition and interpretation.
