I think Bezic's PDSTM was much more effective than Yu-Na's Bulletproof. It is clear that she has put on some weight and I'm really wondering if there is much more Yu-Na can do. Her body has stiffness in parts that Wilson has to choreograph around. This is why Yu-Na always does a lot of moves leaning to the left or right and will extend her arms. She can't do the long, flowing connecting moves of other skaters. Her club feet and lack of a spiral don't help either.
If Yu-Na does compete again, I believe it will be because she gets bored skating in shows.
I really wasn't moved by Hero. It was clearly a program to get a headline "Yu-Na skating with her idol" but it was so slapped together that it felt like one of the Disson shows. Star Skates Craptacular.
I can't get over these fans writing about the camaraderie being the highlight of the show. Spare me.
I'm really wondering if Sasha is injured because her skating, spins, etc look weaker (even by her own standards.) Sasha's skating is always more impressive on TV, but she just looks weak. Perhaps she took time off after Stars On Ice? I was rather surprised to see her debut a new program. Mein Herr needs a lot more work and a TON of speed to be effective.
I really don't find anything special about 'Bulletproof.' It is Yu-Na walking around and somewhat dancing on the ice, but her other programs have been more effective. The costume is not flattering by any means. It makes her look like she has gained much more weight than she actually has. She looks much slimmer in her other dresses from the show.
Wilson's choreography is just seeming to get a bit stale for me. Perhaps he is just overworked? I'm sure he'd spend considerable more time and energy on a competitive program for Yu-Na. It is her charisma that makes the Bulletproof work. She is quite the diva on the ice, but the choreography really does nothing to enhance it. The choreography is really all arm movements and doesn't come from the blade. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'd love to see what Lori Nichol would do with Yu-Na.
