I think Adelina's costumes have a pretty good ideas. They tried to make something interesting and modern but there was always something that spoiled everything. Mostly poor execution, bad choice of colors and fabrics and too much nude illusion. I also wish she had paid a bit more attention to her hairstyle.
As for Anna, I wouldn't be so strict to her costumes, she only starts to participate at huge international events, I think she will be better dressed next season.

I agree with this about Anna's costumes. The ones she had last season were a tad garish, but they didn't necessarily look cheap. I hope she has some dresses that complement her beauty and has some strong showings this year.

I don't think here costumes were cheap, just a bit old fashioned. Such costumes (especially for FS) reminds me my own costumes for rhythmic gymnastics and this was more than 15 years ago))). But I think Anna and here coach needed a bit of international competition on senior level experience and now they will work on costumes too.
That's a Broadway piece that isn't used very often, so it's a great choice, especially if we get to hear "I Know Him So Well" on ice. But now the question is, if they use that song (and likely they will?): which version? The 1985 UK pop hit with Elaine Page? The Whitney Houston duet from 1987? Or the remake by the pop group Steps from 2001? Plus, I suppose this is the closest we'll get to hearing ABBA in competitive figure skating ... for now.

I've never thought the Russians in general have good fashion sense (sorry if I offend anyone, but come on!). By far, Julia was the best dressed Russian last season. Her first SP outfit looked very juniorish but the one she settled on was lovely and her FS dress was brilliantly executed and looked lovely on her. I've liked a few of Adelina's dresses (her 2012-2013 dresses worked well for her) but the majority of her choices are just horrible. She's a gorgeous girl with a lovely body that should be easy dress yet she chooses things that look tacky or just weird.
The black number that she's wearing for her Black Swan Ex works well IMO. It matches the tone and character of the program...but GOD I hated her FS dresses from last season. Her red SP dress was okay (even though it looked as though moths had eaten portions of it) but overall, I would like to see Adelina's on ice presentation get an overhaul: better dresses; take off some of the necklaces and all of those damn bracelets; since she insists on wearing gloves, find some that match her skin tone better; no more OTB tights.
In that interview Buyanova gave something was mentioned about Adelina not particularly caring about her appearance on ice re: her costumes, makeup, etc. Hopefully that will change this season...
Just love your description :thumbsup:

Thanks for the info!!
Was it your friend who told you?
Yep. She said they look fabulous and rock solid. Working really hard and that Ksenia is shining.
I can't wait really, I love them. Although I'm not very happy about Notre Dame choice of music.
I just hope the choreo is good. She said that Morozov is amazingly hard working and it's a treat to see their trainings.

:yay:That's wonderful. I can't wait, either. I will make a guess that the oriental music is their sp and Notre Dame is lp just because people who skated to Notre Dame in the past usually used it for the long program (and also Klimov had an interview a few weeks ago where he said that the short is dynamic and fast while the long program is bright and based on characters.)

Amen to that. It's all in the presentation and as much as I like Adelina, I think her packaging is some of the worst in the field at times. :disapp:

Zijun Li's exhibition for Artistry, music: I Dreamed A Dream (sounds like Anne Hathaway singing….:disapp
The video quality isn't the best, but it looks like she's got deeper, more fluid edges and a more convincing performance quality. Dunno if this is from working with Lori and the Canadians over the summer or if its physical maturation + more muscles. Probably both.
I know the song is overplayed but I love this program! Her best exhibition by far and one of the better Les Mis programs we've seen of late.

Very Yuna style, I know she adores to Yuna but she needs her own style, may be David Wilson did her choreography
She showed that she can skate to music that isn't dainty or cute. That this is powerful, big music and a dramatic program, and that she performs it well is a move in the right direction for the new season.

I don't think it's really all that similar to Yuna. It does worry me a bit though... She certainly is carrying it better than I thought she might, but I think the music (which is powerful enough, but then you add vocals into the mix..) is still a little bit too much for her. Maybe I'd feel better about it if it weren't a fancam video. :confused2:
