Well Tara didn't take a well known and iconic piece of music like Carmen, and played her like she was a peppy happy person just going to a ball! While Mirai's Carmen is cute, interperting the music that way does make her look a little more imature. In contrast Tara took a pretty piece of music and skated to it with excitement and joy, which actually fit the music quite well.
I should go back and look - but Tara was younger in Nagano than Mirai and my recollection was that her performance was also less mature looking. She skated like what she was - an upbeat, excited teenager. A great performance - and you are entitled to your opinion but Mirai was pretty spectacular in Vancouver and many people in the skating world were very impressed with her "Carmen" LP.
Button said it was the greatest Lady's Olympic performance never to win a medal and I think he made a good point.
