Although Gold is not my favourite, but she is an skater I was really interested to see grow fully into her potentials, a real power skater with possible grace and beauty, modernism and dynamism that is the US culture that can do wonders for this sport. I feel some aspect of her natural ease seems to suppressed and artificially packaged.
The music with lyric rule is wonderful for skater like her but she need to skate stuff that has never been in Lori Nichol's CD library. Golden rule for her: If it is in Lori's library... avoid avoid!!!!
She can benefit from power vocals, something like Florence and the Machine, or how about Christina Perri: Jar of heart. Something antsy, since it seems her natural skating style. Not all skaters need to be groomed to classic artistic skater. I for one, appreciate the natural instinct, raw, power qualities in some young skaters style I have always liked, it is natural, it is instinctual, it is sports - a humanity subject, it need to take in what makes us human, individual, unique beings. Too much polish in my opinion can ruin something rich and original about the skater, that is why I vastly prefer Anna's raw power and unrefined power skating to someone like Satoko's over rehearsed refiness. I don't think Ballet is the best approach to figure skating either, because it precisely ruin these aspect of their expressions. It is as backward as to say the only way to become artist is that you need to learn to sketch and draw like the renaissance period right at start.
