Do we really need to get into it how Patrick can skate through the music a bit. Its not just me Wally saying it, its plenty of people who have said it. Kozuka is more musical.
What do you mean by skating through the music? We must define it very differently because that is one criticism I find hard to fathom about Chan. He skates one of the most transition-filled programs ever, with more skating moves timed to musical phrases and highlights than most skaters ever. Skating through music would imply an empty program, which is very much the opposite of Chan. Skating through the music would be someone who does very little transitions, and just does basic stroking through the music.
Perhaps you mean his choreography and movement aren't appropriate to the music for your taste? Or he doesn't have enough non-skating movement to the music? I disagree with that, his non-skating movement is about average in amount.
I mean, someone like Amodio in his current FS, standing there and mouthing the lyrics is totally feeling, reacting and moving to the music. But that is certainly not skating to the music. And it should not be rewarded in the PCS.
