The Endless Debate
I go back and forth on this one. I am almost always a sucker for the artists, the elegant and lyrical skaters....but in pairs skating this is a bit different for me. B&S are undeniably an elegant and refined pair, the typical Russian team in the style of G&G and the Protopopovs. Yet, I find S&P to be exciting in another, far different way. They do have a nice style, though I wouldn't describe it as classic, but more of a contemperary one. Overall, I'd have to say I'd go with B&S but just by a small margin. G&G still have no rivals in my mind. Their "Moonlight Sonata" from Lillehammer is legendary and the definitive pairs performance of the past several decades (in my opinion anyway!).

B&S. They're LPs from 2000-2002 were awesome. I loved S&P's Love Story in 2000, but then they just kept mimicking that program without really capturing it's magic again with T&I and Orchid. They are fine skaters, but they frustrate me. I have high hopes for them both in the pro ranks.

Although I like S&P a lot, I have to say B&S. Magic on ice. I can't even put it into words.
