2023 Russian Nationals Women's Short Program

[CaroLiza_fan]

Absolutely hate this remix of "Feeling Good". It is an abomination. Nina Simone will be turning in her grave.

And, if I am honest, I don't think the original would suit Liza either.

Skating made up for it, though.

I may not like the programme, but I still want My Queen to take the lead.

2nd. But only 2.61 points behind Akateva.

Uggghhh now I wanna see Sofia M, but that'll be at least an hour and it's nearly 1am...

Nina Simone sang this? I only know the Buble version! I'm gonna go look that up while I brush my teeth.

And how many years older than her are you...?

Liza's in her prime. You're just jealous.

Lousy start of teenagers today, the only one that was at the level was Akatieva ... The rest in total debt ...

Skating comps during work days is a pain. I'm missing a lot.

I'm genuinely shocked you didn't know that. Nina's version is the definitive recording. It is iconic.

Nina Simone - "Feeling Good"

Although, I was surprised there now to find out that even it is not the original version. It is actually from a musical, called "The Roar Of The Greasepaint – The Smell Of The Crowd". Here is a recording by the guy who sang it in the musical:

Cy Grant - "Feeling Good"

The back room camera returns! Nervous times afoot.

The men were too good and Rinky was still hungry. I hope it was enough now for the fellow and the last group can skate their best.

what nervous faces

Aren't they just. They look like lambs that know they are going to the slaughter.

They look understandably tense but not frightened.

They had trouble stuffing Rinky back into the cage.

I suppose it is appropriate for the week that it is, being sung to the tune of "O Come, All Ye Faithful".
