I can't believe I have to sit through 9 couples just to see Meryl & Charlie crowned the champs (deservedly so btw). :)

Still, I hope these couples keep me awake & make it an enjoyable two hrs. until the ladies take the ice.;)

Tanith sums it up best via Twitter:

Happy Birthday @CharlieAWhite !! I wish I could do a FD run-thru in Russia on my b-day, lucky...

Trevor Young then tweeted "You beat me to it tanith."

Heh. I have to say that I have high hopes for C/P's free dance (even if I don't love them like I want to). And Anna Cappellini is simply one of the most gorgeous human beings on the planet, and C/L's free is intriguing.

After Evgeni Plushenko's fabulous skate (& the men), I got kinda bored with pairs, and now I'm hoping that at least a few of these couples will make it enjoyable like the ones at TEB did. JMHO. :)

OT, but Trevor Young is the most entertaining guy on ice in the U.S.A. I wish there were more professional and show opportunities that he and Andrea could take advantage of. :yes:

This is a really awesome time to be a fan of ice dancing. The Hermanns had a solid program - one fall during the step sequence (looked like just a lapse in concentration), but otherwise enjoyable.

I liked the germans music selections, suites well a FD to alternate blues with quick step.

This CZE couple is dancing to the same exact music Zhulin used with his wife/partner back in the 90's (can't recall her name but Dick Button used to wax poetic about her beauty, lol). I must dig into my tapes later on this afternoon & find that exquisite performance they did to the blues.:love:

Her name is Maya Usova. :)

This will be over in about an hour, right? Because I have an exam today in two hours, but I just need to be here for Meryl and Charlie's FD. :biggrin:

beautiful couple with gorgeous costumes, but I found the music montonous & rather boring. JMHO.

Heh. The whole ice dance portion is scheduled for 1hr45min.

Melodrama and bad costumes. I feel like I should type in capital letters because I think they'd want that, but I don't want to be too snarky. I preferred the Czech free.

The techno bluesy music used by the czechs was used 2 years ago by Weaver / Poje from Canada, they had better lines and much appropiate choreo for this type of music, never mind speed.
