Again, you are missing the point, skateluvr.Jaylee, people were standing for a great clean technical skate. I agree it was a great skate. Already said it. Toller Cranston said many in the skating world have this criticism. She will keep skating. Watch Shizuka's Yugao. Non competitive skating allows for more beauty. I am hardly the only one who has said this. Her best skate is yet to come, maybe not in competition. She was returning and she skated very well. YuNa is applauded for huge jumps alone. No one was close at that Worlds. Sorry, I really don't get intimidated by snarky posts like yours. You can like or adore whomever you wish. Have fun!
If you declare that "Yuna doesn't move me", etc. etc., then, while I will definitely think that you have the aesthetic and musical sensitivity of a doorknob, and while it is uncertain if I would, or would not, choose to waste oxygen in arguing with you, I will, nevertheless, certainly concede your right to say it.
However, if you purport to represent the views of large bodies (majorities, no less) of people, by spewing such tripe such as the premise that Yuna doesn't move people, or that "people" were only giving her a standing ovation for her technical merits, or only applauding for her jumps alone, then these are in the way of propositions claiming to be fact, for which the unwritten etiquette of discussion boards generally expects some factual support.
Moreover, the scope of your deeply eccentric claims (i.e. they involve, by clear implication, majorities of very large bodies of people, at least in the thousands, in the case of the London audience, and even larger populations, in the case of your claims involving some sort of global skating consensus) require something more than "Toller Cranston said so".
Firstly, Toller is, IMHO (see? that's how these things are done), more than a little eccentric and cantankerous himself, at times. Second, your extraordinary claim involves the viewpoints of thousands of spectators, not just Toller Cranston. Have you done surveys, formal or informal, of the populations in question, or otherwise seen evidence whose breadth matches that of your claims? If you have, then you can knock me down with a feather.
(On a sidenote, I will even go out on a limb with a claim of my own: for every lukewarm comment from a Toller Cranston that you can find with regard to Yuna, I can find at least three commentators of at least equal prominence who hold the opposite opinion. Wanna try it? )
The issue, it seems to me, is that you cannot help yourself from overreaching, leaping from personal opinion/judgment to a claim, without any credible evidence whatsoever, that vast bodies of people, World Championship audiences, or even the larger balance of global audiences, share your views on Yuna's aesthetic qualities. There are scientific terms for this, and they are generally not flattering.
The preponderence of the prima facie evidence strongly suggests the exact opposite, in my view. And I would be happy to share that evidence in more detail, should you so wish it.
(As for the original topic: I've already offered my views, and I don't particularly wish to comment on most of the discussion that follows).
