We all have different perceptions about this - Layfan's post makes sense to me and seems factually accurate about Lori and Frank wanting Carmen for Mirai - who initially resisted it and talks about it in an interview last year. She even said she thought she was too young ,,,,,,,

RD, not always willing to offer an opinion is never at a loss for a negative one regarding Sasha.
Kanako seemed to be the inspiration for this topic and some might find her current exhibition music too racy for a skater who just turned 16. I see nothing wrong or inappropriate about it - and actually think the routine is entertaining. FTR, I typically cringe whenever I see a chair being used as a prop but in "Be Italian" it doesn't really bother me.
On the other hand I like Kanako and if I was up at the North Pole she could probably sell me ice cubes.
In it's attempt to try and offer something to everybody figure skating has had more than it's share of cheesey moments. Morozov and his crotch grabbers feel more tacky to me than Kanako flirting with the crowd - where despite any lyrics her sunny personality is there for all to see.
Seems this "sport" does best when scandals are involved and has never been shy about rewarding the prettiest skaters a bit more than they deserve. In the case of some of the Euro Ice Dancers it was mentioned some slept with judges to secure podium spots for their team. Talk about a devoted partner
That seems tackier to me but of course I am talking about the Dance :sheesh:
Not to come off as sexist - but anyone who thinks this hasn't happened over and over again - in the world of Dance and music is naive. More than one aspiring young female musician has worked her way from the "bottom up" as they say to to a nice job in a smphony orchestra section.
I am not involved in the Dance world - but wonder what stories we could hear from ballerinas - ones who made it as well as the vast majority who didn't.
All things considered I find Kanako's "Be Italian" pretty innocent.
Katerina would be more interesting to discuss when it comes to selling "it" on the ice, no?
Then again, some might argue she was "age appropriate" so it was OK
