Really? I thought a commentator said that her Prelude was more enjoyable with the music turned off
True, but that just shows that the music was bad. Look at it this way. What if you had to listen to the music without watching Mao. That would be worse. So,...therefore...
where was I going with this?
Anyway, back to Rachael versus Kanako, I see from the protocols that the judges did give Rachael the higher score in Interpretation. But lower in Choreography. So I guess Lori Nichol wasn't quite up to par this time, but Rachael nonetheless saved the day with her natural musicality. :yes:
In fact, Rachael got the highest Interpretation score of anyone except Carolina Kostner. Kostner certainly was in a different league from the rest of the ladies in terms of having long graceful limbs and in moving expressively across the ice. (I'm not so sure that this counts as musical interpretation, but it is very pretty.)
