D/R did a program to music Eric composed in 2013/2014.

It would depend on how well they can sing. Tonya Harding and Eman Sandhu both tried singing and they were not successful. However, I could definitely see Yuna Kim skating to a song of her own. She has a surprisingly good voice. In fact, I always thought she'd pursue a music career after she retired from skating. She's gorgeous, and with her obvious talent, I think she would be quite successful. I danced to "I'll Write A Song You" By Earth Wind & Fire. I was a backup vocalist on that song and my students danced to "Love of a lifetime" My Chocolate Smurf video.

Holy Cow!!!!!!!!!!!! I found a video Tonya trying to sing. It's Horrible......Thankfully, it's only about 45 seconds long https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jhi978R5PdU

This is Yuna and Lee Seung Gi (a famous Korean ballad singer)'s collaboration for the 2010 World Cup, called Smile Boy. Yeah, she has a really nice voice. Many Koreans can carry a tune, actually. :biggrin:

There seems to be an example from the current season....

Camille Ruest / Andrew Wolfe are one of the younger and recently formed Canadian senior pairs teams.

There was a local video feature done in French [which I posted the link to previously but now can't find ...sigh] just before they got their first GP assignment to Rostelecom Cup.

And it showed Drew [?!] singing the beatles cover for their short program...thought that I saw somewhere that he has a degree in vocal performance....

Didn't Alex Shibutani compose and arrange part of the Shibs evolution long program?

I know Tim Dolensky is an accomplished pianist, and I believe he has composed music for his programs.

I adore that tune, but of course, I adore Philip Bailey. :love:

The way that it builds, it would make a great SP, except it would get chopped up.:noshake:

didn't Katarina Witt skate to a song that had her voice (although just humming) in '94

I am always happy to hear that people remember that song. It was not as popular as some of their others but, I really loved it and still listen to it from time to time. Do you remember the song "That's The Way Of The World?" I used to love singing "Yow, Yeh e Yeah" and "Plant Your Flower and you'll Grooooooow a Pearl"

That's the way of the world:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vIIZydXDqg

Mentioned in Yuna's thread but the part of her 2011 exhibition from 1:16-1:32 sounds like Yuna herself singing. (Not her best performance unfortunately but this version popped up first.) Here: https://youtu.be/C3jmExZRmsU?t=1m16s
