She wasn't using her music at all, it's as if it just happened to be playing as she was skating.
That said, I still find her a lovely skater. Even if she is having some (obvious) difficulty with her jumps.

The Kerrs New OD was filmed by a guy named Ritti at Nebelhorn.
This is the best yet!

Thanks so much for sharing the link with us!! That was a great OD. You know the last 2 seasons OD styles have really suited the Kerrs and they're making the most of it.
Love the little flick/kick she gives him at the end.
They rock!!

Very dramatic, I reaaaally loved it. I hope they get the scores they deserve this season.

Unfortunately, the audio is to creaky, so I didn't really get their timing, although I am sure it was perfect. It will only get better as the weeks move on. btw, he is so animated throughout and so talented. I think if he had gone to Singles he would have been a Curry revisited.The Kerrs New OD was filmed by a guy named Ritti at Nebelhorn.

That is a winning dance routine, and so much like a podium pairs routine. Those mirror image twizzles are fantastic. I've never seen them before in competitions.
No sturm und drang. Just beautiful dancing. Love it.

I like that she is trying somthing fast paced....it is very diffrent than her usual programs and yes, i love the dress, but I feel as if the chreography was taken right out of a carolina kostner program.

Thanks for posting, darling! I tend to agree with you. Technically, it's brilliant, it's wonderful to see such a comeback after his surgery. But I don't think I like the program, neither the music or the dress... *spooky*Kevin van der Perrens SP from Finlandia Trophy:

I'm not too sure I like it at all....
Wow!! I love it! I was touched to tears when I watched it. They always give such a new-thinking, fresh impression. Can't wait for the next competition!

I think that they music is a great choice and I love how he hit the 3 axel right to the music. Hate the outfit, and he looks very slow in parts of the program, but it entertained me.
Here is Sarah Meier's FS at the Finlandia Trophy... to the yeloow river concerto. She seems to be having problems with her 3 loop, but her spins have improved. I don't like the dress for this program and I just keep comparing it to Bebe's who moved more naturally to this music.

Actually I am not getting the fuzz over this program. It is good, but not great. And there's still something generic about her presentation that just makes the programs that she does look alike no matter what she skates to..just IMO.

I actually remember every single step of each of Carolina's program and I see nothing of her in this
..actually Kostner never skated to latin music except as she was novice or so.. Well, she will this year as she chose Tango.At first sight I can only say I prefer Sarah's 2008 SP, but I can't hear the music very well so I'm waiting to watch it at the Gp.

i wouldn't worry about liking it or not. He did all the requirements for the SP and he skated them well. That's what he had to do. It's supposed to be the Technical part of the competition.Kevin van der Perrens SP from Finlandia Trophy:

But perhaps van der Perren should care about his sp - it's actually one of his problems. His personal best for the short program is 72.83. That's really low for a top ten senior men's skater. And that's his personal best - he sometimes scores lower than 70. His freeskates on the other hand are point-wise right up there with the top men. At worlds he had 70 points in the short program, a normal score for him. The top men always score a bit lower or higher than 80, even without a Quad.
If van der Perren had done that, Bronze would have been his (he would have needed a normal top men score of 78 points in the short). Same goes for Skate Canada where he scored 66 points (he had a fall, but it didn't cost him a lot of points - plus there was a 4-3). 77 points in the short (that's about the score Joubert and Lambiel get with a fall) would have been enough at Skate Canada to claim the victory.
The problem is for vdPerren that the short is nothing else but the freeskate - with less jumps in it. vdPerren's freeskates are often (not always) good, because his consistent jumping really pays off here. His weaknesses, the spins and also often the steps, aren't as important in the freeskate, because he can regroup with the jumps.
I think it's rather funny that in this season the difference between the short and the free is just one: you have 5 more jumping passes.

I don't pay much attention to Personal Best Scores. I just watch skaters for that competition and come to my own determination who skated the best that night.
Kevin is a top 10 skater - an elite skater. No need to drag him down when he is injured. No need to drag any skater down. Corrective criticism is the way to go.

Hah, true!
I'd like to see the GoE values for spins increased to the same as jumps (all Spirals and Footwork should be on the same level too, not just the level 4).
