More likely an issue of mic-ing and/or sound-mixing.

ETA: Given that you hear it A LOT toward the edges of the rink, and not towards the center, I'm sticking to this view.

Amelie Lacoste - for going for such an old warhorse peace of music, that was a pretty good and reasonably engaging effort. She is skating with a bit of fire too, like Samson. It looks like recent successes of ROchette and Phaneuf are inspiring the second tier Canadian Ladies. This is the most I've enjoyed Lacoste. The music choice suits her

Alissa looks super, super thin!

Good luck!

AWW...the LAST jump...

**evangeline** · 10-30-2010, 08:12 PM

Alissa Czisny
I like her dress

Alissa falls on her last jumping pass but manages to hold onto her other jumps.

Alissa is elegant and refined as usual, but her LP seems kind of blah and nondescript to me. Dr. Zhivago was definitely better.

Sigh, I love her skating so much!!!!!

**SerpentineSteps** · 10-30-2010, 08:12 PM

Never was particularly fond of Alissa, but I think she won me over with that performance. Esp. her spins. Wow.

Alyssa did well. Too bad about that fall at the end.

I still hold my breath every time she jumps.

**evangeline** · 10-30-2010, 08:12 PM

I love how Alissa always seems to do so well in Canada.

Shame about the one fall, but that was bliss. David jinxed her (right before the fall, he said that it would be hard to beat). Amazing program - easily the best ladies LP thus far (not ust of the night, of the season). God she's so breathtakingly beautiful. I could have watched that forever.
