I am confused. I thought she was having problems with puberty. Okay so not the hardest jumps and horrible outfit but not bad at all - she really is covering the ice better and has a lot of work done on her transitions. she was fairly impressive imho.
I can see that her style is maturing, but I wish she wasn't flailing her arms so much. It's just not a style I like, partly because it tends to make the movements across the ice look choppy. This is not her fault, though, but the fault of her choreographer and maybe her coach.
Dislike the music--think it's a worldwide standard for elevators and dentists' offices. And dislike the choreography and the flailing. I don't like this SP and don't think it showcases her talents nor do I think she has the chops yet to interpret it. Not that I would wish this music even on the likes of a Dai.
It's a very syrupy orchestration of a rather syrupy piece of music, I agree. Though I have to say, the music itself in another arrangement was tremendously effective for Sale/Pelletier in 2002. That "Love Story" program is one that I watch whenever I want to see something beautiful and emotionally satisfying.
As you say, this particular arrangement wrings all the honest feeling out of the music and leaves only sappiness, and at this stage of her life, Liza doesn't have whatever interpretive magic Jamie and David had. Even if she did, the endless arm-swinging and circling steps would stymie her efforts. There's no momentum, either physical or emotional, in this program.
