the performers definitely short and chubby but it works for me.

Alexander Majorov - There were sections in the program where he showed decent expression, reflecting the upbeat character of the music quite well but then there were also a lot of empty points where he just stroked into jumps, not paying attention to the music. The program lacked transitions with most jump entries being very long.

Does anyone else find Nan Song's LP lacking when comparing it to the person who owns this Music (IMO)? (It's Matt Savoie, btw.)

I had great expectations with Nan Song but something happened I think it was after Four Continents two seasons ago - he is just not as great as I believed he was destined to be. He has such elegance and a very particular grace. I love watching him even with the mistakes and he is not Jeremy Abbott but there is something so lovely about watching him perform.. but the mistakes 
Are the judges on crack? How could Song be virtually tied on the PCS to Majorov?

Is it me or does it seem that Brezina likes skating to the same type of "Gangster-style" free programs?
I was totally smitten with Brezina when he first did American in Paris back in 2010....sort of sad that he hasn't lived up to his potential.

MB used to make me want to pee my pants when competed against my beloved skaters - I saw such great potential in him. What happened? Why all the falls and mistakes? I feel like I can bet money on him falling multiple times every time he skates.
And, Richard Dornbush truly was amazing with his Sherlock Holmes a couple years ago - way better than Brezina today.

Michal Brezina - His upper body movement was in character of the music and a lot of the time, he interpreted it well. However, the program was also very empty in places, with nothing other than long entries into the jumps.
Second 4salchow and 3toe after the 3axel were underrotated, possibly <.

I was thinking about Ricky when I heard the music, which makes me sad too, because that's the last program where Ricky really killed it. I'm hoping that perhaps could change this season.
