Re: 2010-2011 Season Programs! All Disciplines
Well, you have misunderstood my message. I do not dissociate the artistic completely of the "entertaining", because a good artist should be "entertaining". Which i considered that piece of music and choreography to be.
The discussion should be about "overused" music or "original", and not about "entertaining", or "artistic".
A program choreographed to a "Tosca", will not be autimatically artistic, because is a classical piece, If the choreo will be losy, that piece will fall short of both artistic, or entertaining.
I don't think it hardly matters under CoP judging criteria whether a piece is 'entertaining' or 'artistic'. I think the original query was why was it that 'overused' music is used despite the fact that alot of posters (who may or may not be judges, most who are just fans of figure skating) complain.
In any case, I would venture to disagree with seeing Jimi Hendrix as an entertainer. He will surely be remembered as an artist.
I personally tend to think that at least for last season, Daisuke's La Strada epitomizes figure skating at its best. He fell, of course, but he attempted a quad, and the musicality and intricate step sequence, the whole thing, in fact, was not only artistic but athletic. I notice that there seems to be more tango-like (Latin) choices this season than the norm, and I credit that to Daisuke's influence.
