Ah, that could have been a really interesting program but those jump errors :(
 
More than the mistakes it's the lack of speed taking me out of the performance.
 
I liked the positions on the first half of his final spin... a little bit different than we usually see... too bad the second part of the spin was meh.
 
Very pretty music but it's much too big for him.

When will coaches and choreographers learn?

The other kind of music that drives me nuts is the kind that speeds up even though you know the skater is going to run out of gas at the end.

You ain't fooling us with that choreographers!
 
According to the OP, Doug Razzano and Doug Ladret (now at 7k) did choreo for Micah? Sorry I couldn't really tell from his performance if I liked it, but hopefully he'll improve:)
 
C'moooooon, Mark! Let's see you in my grandma's coat!

...wait this isn't Thrift Shop. Is this...SAM SMITH?!

you are dead to me :disapp:
 
all of the skaters so far pretty much had music too big for them.... or at least inappropriate.... big sweeping music, you need so much speed... they don't... i get mad at this because choreographers listen to the beats but do not get the sweeping phrasing... so the skaters look like they are doing something on the music in a local manner but ignore it globally... sorry... i had to get this out.

Exactly! Look Mr Webster is not going to set the world on fire with his skating, but he's smart enough to choose a tempo that doesn't look like IT is skating HIM.
 
I tried sleep, but we're just not being friends right now. But that's not the kind of music I wanted to come back to. It makes me re-think the sleep thing, sorry :p
