How would you compare the Performance/Execution of these two performances?
How would you compare the Choreography?

We have a 6.0 program and a CoP program. One is an LP and the other an SP.
I look for different qualities in an SP and LP. Maybe that is outdated but sometimes old habits die hard.
Vanessa's LP looks world class to me and although she stumbled on the flips and didn't look clean enough to win - the P/E was OK. She held my interest throughout the program. I don't like the way she telegraphs her jumps which only accentuates the problems on the jumps that were not clean.
I liked the choreo and thought it had an originality to it.
One look is not enough - and that is just my impression from watching once.
The other skater - for me made major errors in an SP. In my way of thinking her P/E is not so good. I give her credit for trying to hold it together and she did not quit and actually skated the steps and ending much better than in the beginning.
My thoughts after one viewing about the choreo - her splats took me out of whatever she was trying to present out there.
As I write this I can barely remember her choreo because of the disruptions.
I don't think I would have givn her a good score for PE - maybe a little better for the choreo, but in general a lower placement but not so low I would I get noticed and risk losing the perks of being an ISU judge. Hmmmm......
