I'm trying to decide which Carmen interpretation I like. Minus skating skills, difficulty etc, I'm leaning towards the Italians.

My turn to be crucified by the forum. I prefer C/L's Carmen program to V/M's. It's more "natural" and less forced or overwrought. But then, I prefer subtlety to in-your-face-ism. That said, C/L's lovely skating skills are still a notch below V/M's.

I agree. Despite a few flaws, it had much more natural pizzazz.

Frankly, I think it's time for Carmen to go and die already. Like, seriously folks. Of all the amazing music in the world you can skate to, you pick Carmen...

Yet they were still showered with 10s. :p

The judges can give them 10's and +3's all they want, to me this was not the kind of performance I am used to seeing from V/M. Now, I admit I am not there live, and I will also have to re-watch to be sure, but as others have said, the energy from the crowd was great but the energy from V/M was not.

I actually seriously wonder what V/M would need to do to not get 10's... stopping mid program didn't even do it.

Really? I thought the juxtaposition made me hate C/L's music cut even more. But they are a beautiful couple.

996 for PE? That's nearly perfect. I bet D&W PCS do not match that and tech maybe. It's a good thing they have that cushion but they will have to be perfect which I hope they are. I cannot stand Moir.

Their SB is 112.68. They've been skating above the 108 mark since the NHK Trophy. I don't think they'll have any problem winning this, but like you said, they'll have to be perfect (or close to). Good thing they make it look so effortless ;)

Well Voir's Carmen is the post-feminist one and the C/L version is the afternoon at the ballet version you can take Mom to.

Ice Dance...we got programs for the whole family!

LOL

For sure, Carmen ain't Mahler.

And I agree with the other poster who's for letting Carmen die once and for all.
