I absolutely despise that song (so I'm sort of happy to hear it's banned in like 100 countries, LOL). But I give credit to Jason for doing that program well. My husband noted that he likes that he doesn't let up on the energy and the performance from start to finish.
The crowd was eating it up. The applause was so loud!
I yanked Jason gala from YouTube, since only 10 people in the world can see it.
Evidently, Coldplay is not blocked anywhere...

Does anyone know who choreographed this? Slow, lyrical programs can be hit-or-miss with me, but good lord, this is breathtaking. The Shibs really need to hire this person for next year's programs (or, if it was Zoueva, demand she give them something of this quality for their competitive programs!)
Seriously, wow. Thanks for much for uploading it, sabinfire.
Request for HD vid of Hubbell/Donohue's performance, please. One of the best of the gala.
Definitely of interest. I just thought I might have seen it posted here somewhere before, but I'm probably thinking of having seen this particular Gala from the Shibs at a previous event, pre-Nationals. Will be next.

I'm still a bit not sure if I like this program, but my gosh, is it just me, or does he just float effortlessly into that huge Russian split at the start? :shocked:
But oof, that fall onto his hip off the 3F...:no: careful, Josh!
Peter Tchernyshev choreographed the Shibutanis' ex.
Forgot to say earlier that in addition to the program as a whole, I loved Maia's costume -- gorgeous.
Thx again to sabinfire for the video.
I keep having a stupid grin throughout Jason's ex program. This is why this kid will be the future of figure skating; he's so versatile and his skating can match any kind of music. As much as I appreciate their style of skating and am glad to see the diversity in the US men's field, Josh and Adam's ex had the same melancholic music and although they performed that "internal" style masterfully, I couldn't imagine them performing the programs that Jason has.
Have you seen Josh's SOI group performance to The Walker? That's the first time I saw Josh really letting loose, and he seems to be enjoying himself so much
I didn't particularly enjoy this one, but here it is:

It was supposed to be on 4-6 NBC but when i turned it on at 4 it was ending. Huh????
No pewter medalists on the Gala broadcast. Would have liked to have seen all of them plus the junior & novice winners. hwell: ...
Does anyone have the video of the skaters being asked which football team they root for?
