I think David Wilson is on a secret mission to trial test all the Romeo and Juliet versions there ever was, to eventually able to create his own Romeo and Juliet - THE SKATING MOVIE!!! This is just one attempt more. Well... given he had a few trials already, this one he BETTER get it right!!!! I will be watching youuuuuu Wilson!!!! Grrrrr..... :sarcasm:
(I wonder if So Youn can recycle Hanyu's costume from last year. Come on... you know it can work!)
On the other hand, I have absolutely NO IDEA why they picked Introduction and Rondo Capriccioso by Saint-Saens. Simply NONE!!! Consider Sot's 'extraordinary' version last year that garnered several 9.75s for choreography and interpretation. Imagine how hard it MUST BE to try to top THAT extraordinary effort. Could they possibly *gulp* thinking of actually include some musicality? How dare they, just what MUST they be thinking?!!! Tsk tsk tsk!!! They are simply CRAZY I tell you!!! Esp considering So Youn were given the Cup of Russia assignment... ummmm...

Love Zijun's choices and progress so far. I must admit I have a weakness of anything Audrey Hepburn-esque. JunJun physically grew so much taller over last season, and seems more emotionally and mentally mature. Whatever growing pains she underwent, hope it had settled down and she is taking reign of her own skating once more. Love that she is motivated enough to self choreographed 'I dream a dream' which is above and beyond any of these young up-starters have done. Perhaps in a style she has secretly strived for: more attack, speed, maturity, flow, power and strength which arguably Lori's programs hasn't explored nearly enough. All the areas that were rooms for improvement. Overall, nice work in progress, encouraged by what we saw. Artistry don't happen over night, those who convinced they do are fooled by packaging. I do think she has the it factor whatever you call it, though motivation and consistency seems to have been a weaknesses, hopefully a thing of the past.

As for Adelina's program... Simply just wow! Saw some 'extraordinary' reviews from the the Chinese skating forums that completely
Reviews of Je Suis Malade gala include 'Butchier rip off version of Plushenko's program'; 'what is with those crouching tiger hands?'
... 'those Japanese food must have tasted so good'. I must admit I didn't completely get everything until I saw this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yQnT910enHQ especially the ending pose. Intriguing intriguing, can't wait to these amazing 9s and perhaps even 10s for the so called 'sheer originally' spoke of by some, surely to pop up at Cup of Russia/Russia Championships/the European Championships from at least 2 extraordinary judges (conservative estimate). After all, it will be unbelievably hard to top the efforts last year particularly the yellow flags gala that were simply unforgettable. I learned if anyone is capable of the impossible, the Russian Champion can!!! ++ a little help from their friends... in Russia... where magical numbers happens. Especially the signature rolling on the floor choreography with such artistic merits words simply fail. God save you Yulia...Lipa hurray all the way I pray!! Dear Liza, please come out of your siesta..real 3lz back will ya!
