Cappellini - Lanotte FD

Geez, why female skaters wear such an heavy make-up this season? Anna looks like Khokhlova or other Russian divas...At least no spider on costumes...
Anyway, great improvements in every departments and no more love stories...

Thanks for posting it! What is their music? It sounds familiar. They are not in a bad shape but twizzles need some work. I can't see they are feeling the music good enough right now but it's probably because it is begining of the season. I'm used to their lyrical compositions and it will take some time to adjust. But it's definetely a good surpize although I liked their love story so much!

Nana Takeda's FP revealed

Nana Takeda will skate to "Concierto de Aranjuez" for her Free Program
http://sportsnavi.yahoo.co.jp/winter/skate/figure/text/200910010007-spnavi.html

Her programs for this season:
SP: El Cumbanchero- Tico Tico
FP: Concierto de Aranjuez
EX: Single Ladies (Beyonce)

Nana's SP and EX fits her energetic, lively "dance" style perfectly- but she made a bold decision to do such a masterpiece like Aranjuez when many people still remember Joannie's FP from last year.
Nana comments in the NHK interveiw "I hope to perform my own Aranjuez"
I'm sure she will do a wonderful job- her last year's EX "Fauré's Elegy", similar to Aranjuez in a "slow, heavy music", was SO lovely
(For those who hasn't had a chance to see it, here it is)

"I hope to perform my own Aranjuez"

Meaning, somehow different from 2000 performed by others before?

No Hsuhs, not 2000 but 1000. Next time, try to be more accurate on numbers you quote

And not "somehow", a LOT different. You just wait and see

OK, OK, I stand corrected, it's only 1000 others. First I thought I misinterpreted her words, but it does sound like she wouldn't mind winning a 'Best Aranjuez of all times' poll, does it not.

And not "somehow", a LOT different.

I think she could achieve that by putting a huge fake insect on her dress. Would make her unforgettable.

What is Paul Porier doing in Mens? He should be in Ice Dance hwell:

 

[SailorGalaxia518]

What is Paul Porier doing in Mens? He should be in Ice Dance hwell:

He competes in both Men and Ice Dancing for Canada. Men nationally and Ice Dancing both nationally and internationally

 

[Kypma]

He competes in both Men and Ice Dancing for Canada. Men nationally and Ice Dancing both nationally and internationally

Actually, he did compete at the JGP Courchevel last year, and by his own standards his performance wasn't great (I think he said the first fall on nothing in particular threw him off). Although I think from now on he'll only be competing nationally, so you're still pretty much right

[Enthusiast]

You know what - this is not a program design audition. Skating is judged. Based on the video V/M have nothing to worry about from D/W on skating basis alone.

You are absolutely spot on, and i really hope you're right.

 

[miss.coiza]

Woow he does everything

 

[Okami]

Yes--it's a version same Chilean music that the Duchesnay's used for their Missing programs. The Inti-Illimani were the artists, and the tune is either Dolencias or Sikuriades (Missing I). However, other stuff has been mixed with it.

Thanks a lot, Dorispulaski! :agree:

Domnina/Shabalin
According to this
OD: Aboriginal Dance (arrangement by Alexander Goldstin)
FD: Passion by Zbigniew Preisner (arranged by Alexander Goldstin)
Requiem for a Dream

 

[dorispulaski]

Good heavens! Aborginal dances are an odd choice for them, I think.

 

[Buttercup]

Domnina/Shabalin

FD: Passion by Zbigniew Preisner (arranged by Alexander Goldstin)
Requiem for a Dream

Requiem is becoming the new Carmen. What will we have more of in 2009-10, POTOs or Requiems?

Yes, I love Requiem, but really, how predictable was this choice for them. Dramatic, loud crescendo like Spartacus...opportunities for Russian falling of arms and overacting. That said, i am am eager to see it.

I'm more curious about the Aboriginal Dances--I'm wondering whether this is Russian for Savage Rites (Duchesnay's 1988 FD music). I've taken a look at some Australian aborigine dances, and somehow they do not seem to play to the long lines and nice posture of DomShabs, so that's why I am wondering who the aborigines are. (Australian? other indigenous groups elswhere? generic 'savages' as in Savage Rites?)

Of course, given her choice of an Olympic FD for herself, I can see Linichuk getting attached to this Australian performance:

[life684]

only thing remotely similar thing they have done is the Afro bit Afro-latin dance they did to win Jr. worlds in 2003.

and they look so different in this video.
