Patrick is magical
Why butcher "Yesterday"? Chan is still a lovely, remarkable skater. The balloon moment made me smile. Was that cued (I'd assume so, but Rod Black et al aren't acting like it).

Yes, figures were fantastic to see ... I always imagined that he was schooled in those ...Originally Posted by screech
I don't mind all the horrible, wretched things Patrick Chan says. But skating to Michael Bolton? Love is over!
That performance is in tribute to his late coach Osborne Colson - who always wanted to see him skate at the Olympics. As for the balloon, that would be pretty impossible to plan it that well. I think it was just a random moment - that turned out perfectly!
The fact that Patrick Chan can't even stay on his feet in an exhibition skate says it all.
I think that proves that Johnny Weir should have been there instead.
Heh. You confuse me.
I second the dislike of that Michael Bolton version. I wish they could have found a better version because the tune is wonderfully difficult to dance to
Your logic escapes me.
Which is probably why the figures were included; if there was a coach that would have known the benefit of teaching figures to a skater in terms of edge development ... that would have been Colson.
He did stay on his feet - perhaps you should watch more carefully next time. S/S just had a problem on a throw - does that mean that they shouldn't be there either?
There are about a billion better versions of Yesterday. I mean, how about just the original? Is Colson a great big fan of Michael Bolton or something? In that case, is it really worth doing a tribute to him?
Robin and Aliona are hot. Very good performance - I really do hope they go to worlds. A class act.
