Wat.... they add cymbals and stuff to this music?

 

[pearly]

Can we start a vote on Deniss's (that's a lot of S's) ponytail? for yay, for nay.

@Totentanz how am I supposed to count your like? Go back and read the assignment.

Misha is still a mess

yup... distasteful

 

[Fluture]

Misha's such an amazing skater but several of these landings were a bit off today. I also liked the FS from last season A LOT better for him, it was so beautiful and I wish we could have seen it at the Olympics.

 

[Lamente Ariane]

He needs just shy of 186, do we think he's managed it?

 

[elektra blue]

so is Misha Oskar Schindler?

 

[s_parks]

eugghhhh...the little mistakes...

 

[yume]

I saw so much red on the TES box that i'm surprised to see him end with 93 TES. Comfortably in low 180s but not enough to beat Yuma.

nope

Misha is still a mess

Was he? I loved it! He's so elegant and fabulous!

I'm even starting to like the program music!

 

[LadyB]

Molodyets!!!!

 

[Beckaboomer]

Misha has your Schindler’s List improved? Let us see..

4S stepout. Lovely 4T3T. Huge 3A2T. 3L (Missed the landing on this but it looked not great). 4T stepout. 3A. 3Lzeu3S.

At this point I may have to just concede I don’t really “get” him and it’s just a matter of personal taste. I can see the beauty in his skating for sure but I don’t feel anything. This wasn’t his best but certainly a worthy attempt.

One day Kolyada will skate clean both programs and the world will change irreversibly - Eteri will eat up excitement with chocolates, Johnny Weir will cut his hair bald, and Makar Ignatov will breathe calmly through his nose, finishing his skate

 

[cathlen]

Ok, Misha, I will count no falls as a succes. The costume though...

This program could be so good if he landed the jumps with conviction

 

[Skatingcat]

Can we start a vote on Deniss's (that's a lot of S's) ponytail? for yay, for nay.

It depends. If he's going to have the hair he needs to care for it, so it will look like bed-head but his curls will be healthy and will move in time with the music/jumps.

If he won't, then bring me the shears!

 

[3T3T]

Well done Mikhail. He really fought in that programme and didn’t give up. A bit scrappy in places. He’ll be behind Yuma but should be enough to get on the podium

The programme has improved for me but is a long way if the heights of The White Crow.

Bring back Nureyev, and now folks I'm dead
