It's the Olympic season (possibly KMT/MM's last season). In the US, commentators would make a point to talk about skating to Eric music while KMT/MM were skating which would lead to talking about James and Radford while Kristin and Michael were skating . . . My impression is they want the talk to be about them. Maybe it is KMT's turn to be the star.It indeed IS extreme. I would say it is miserable and childish. Then what is the next? To wear sunglasses when both pairs are on the same rink?
But whtever....Kirsten knows better what works for her
Switching music is a no-brainer from my point of view.
