Do it!

Suddenly I am reminded of the anecdote of the many marriage proposals Josh got when JWC was in Belarus - all the pretty Belorussian teenage girls, but also the mothers of the girls and the grandmothers of the girls begging him to marry their daughters/granddaughters. And that was at seventeen. Can you imagine what they'd be like now!

Here's the video of Josh's LP from 2013 JWC. They sound the same - is it them?

Simon isn't speaking in that video. They don't sound the same at all. Simon has a much deeper voice than Chris or Nicky.

I will, tomorrow. My brain is kinda fried tonight (actually, it's been fried multiple times by 4CC) and for the life of me I can't think of how to write an opening post.

What's this? An excuse to watch Joshua AGAIN with my favourite commentators? No invitation necessary! *glomp*

EDIT: Hmm, I dispute their claim that they'd never seen him before, because somewhere tucked away in my video folder are some videos of two of the BEsp commentators trying to figure out whether they liked Jason or Josh more at JWC2013.

Simon as seen so many competitions over his commentary career so its ok to forget

I appear to have muddled up my Eurosport commentators :eek:

I just saw both programs. Couldn't believe he did it again after nationals!!!
Also a huge amount of appreciation to Jeffrey Buttle :bow:

He's basically the guy behind the scene making all this possible, creating two great programs. Definitely one of the best choreographers at this moment.

Alba · Feb 15, 2015

Farris was a real beauty to watch in both programs. The best performance in this competition, for me. I really hope he does bring the same at worlds.

One, JButt did the SP. The LP was done by Damon Allen and Joshua himself - in case you weren't impressed enough by him already

I thought the Brit announcers included Jeff Buttle as a choreographer... maybe he helped tweak the program or something.

I hope this partnership between Buttle and the Farris camp continues.

I was already impressed by him, that doesn't change no matter who choreographed the program

Was a really nice competition and lot's of big moments, from a Jr boy to the Olympic medalist. Josh was definitely one of them :clap:

Hope he keeps having magical programs.

Okay, that could be I didn't watch the ESP programs until now since I want to keep them reward once I finished my work today

After the success Josh had with that SP, I'm pretty optimistic. JButt is really good at following up great programs with other great program, IMO!

TontoK · Feb 15, 2015

Yeah, Josh's skating style reminds me of Jeff. In my book, that's a very positive statement!

It makes sense that he could choreograph exactly the right program for Josh.

I'm very interested in seeing what comes next year.

Found this video of Josh's clean quad in the LP warm up. Hopefully this competition has given him the confidence to land it cleanly at worlds.

Li'Kitsu · Feb 15, 2015

^ Thanks for posting! His quad at 4CC was already better than the one at nats - so next stop: a clean one at worlds

Also, not sure if this has been posted already, but Misha at last put the selfie stick to use!

Josh looks a little like... making bunny ears for himself :biggrin:

2015 4CC - Joshua Farris Gala: http://youtu.be/SFpJ-e78KtM

I kind of wanted to see his SP again, but I was more than happy with his Bruno Mars exhibition. So smooth.
Btw, I'm sure his mother was watching and cringing - tuck in your shirt!

That is sabinfire's video

, which I think was posted earlier in this thread as well as in the Four Continents thread(s).
Thanks again, sabinfire. :bow:

I think it is a deliberate choice for some of the guys not to tuck in their shirts.
No different IMO than Gracie Gold and other females selecting costumes that show their midriffs. YMMV.

Instead of not tucking in their shirts, maybe the men could select costumes that show their midriffs?

Sandpiper · Feb 15, 2015

The moment in his exhibition when he stops and gazes into the audience. :love:

I have no problem with the situation of Josh's shirt. :eek:

: Then again, he could probably wear a garbage bag at this point and I'd still fangirl.

Cute throwback video of the 2009 U.S. Novice Men's medal ceremony (Josh gold; Steve Evans silver; Jason bronze; Jay Yostanto pewter):

ETA, no wonder Josh is known for his flexibility:
