Hmm, I am not sure WHAT to think about that SD. I think if they had used a bit more of the Lucy song, it wouldn't come across so gimmicky. You gotta love the costumes though, and I adore the pseudo-military-marching steps incorporated into the choreography, which absolutely made me giggle each time they used them.
They are NEVER boring.

Yeah, not sure what to say about that SD... Well, here are some immediate thoughts... they need to loose the Beatles at the beginning and end. Loosing the Beatles at the end will also get rid of that ridiculous peace sign final pose... ugh...and for goodness sake change your costumes. They are awful and too distracting to the viewer. There are times when Less is More, this would be one of those times.
I respect your opinion, but I would like to say a few things for clarification on why the costume, etc...
The costumes are a tribute the cover of Stg. Pepper. Which is the album that Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds comes from. If you look at the album you'll see it.
And it's a bit of a tribute in my opinion using the peace sign since John Lennon was all about peace.
I agree... in terms of tributes, it fits very well... but I don't think the SD waltz assignment is the place to do it. They could have done their FD around a Beatles tribute, made it a theme and done their FD in that style.
Well, if Elena and Ruslan are going with Queen and W/P with Elvis P. which is the problem with G/P?. Of the top teams I think only Shibs are doing a very traditional waltz.
Because persons are still coming to grips with the fact that the rules actually allow the ice dancers to deviate from tradition. The problem really isn't with G/P but the actual fans. I welcome the variety. In future seasons they may not be given that freedom and we'll have to sit through at least 30 traditional waltzes come EC or WC. I'll cross that bridge when I get to it
But for the non-ice dance tech expert like me, it will be a lot more interesting than 30 Strauss waltzes!
Amen! It is so refreshing to see an innovative SD like this. I was so sick of the Latin gyrations and over-the-top costumes and facial expressions last year. I like a good Latin dance but they all seem to come out of the same can last year. I really like the more original approach that Piper and Paul are taking along with others. Bravo! I hope they are doing a B event before SA. It would be good to get some official feedback.
