Yeah, this piece is so recycled with like 3-4 programs of this just last year. Not to mention Jeremy, Ashley, etc. It needs to retire already.
I wish Lori could have given him something different if they were going classical. There are MANY he could use that just doesnt scream "been there, done that" to give him more of his own style, because now he is battling the comparison game which he doesnt have the maturity yet to do.
It is better than Moulin Rogue (anything is better than Moulin to be fair) but he should have done this last year, and was hoping he does something more really different this year than warhorses.
Season of Woodkid programs? 
. Nathan’s Land of All FS - and looks like Alex Johnson might have a Woodkid program as well - skating to The Golden Age here:

So, I come back and learn....
Andrew Torgashev won Philly International.
and 
Keep that 3A going and keep that wonderful step sequence and spins in Roxanne. Please
and Grant Hochstein finally officially announced his retirement. :sad21: we will no longer see Grant, but so happy for all the programs he gave us, including the 2016 Worlds Les Miz, which I still watch over and over again. Thank you, Grant

I don't understand why more skaters don't try new music and seem to go with whatever warhorses or new favorites are in trend at the moment. There is so much music, beautiful piano music and score pieces that would make great programs. Yet we have to do exogenesis again.

Would have loved to have seen Alex Johnson at Philadelphia International again … but just read in Aug-Sep issue of Skating magazine:
Wow. Go, Alex. :yay:
Hope that your first Champs Camp is both productive and fun.
Belatedly will make note of Jeremy's mother's supportive

What are you summer plans or vacation?
Currently working as a investment banking summer analyst, and also training.

Now realizing that Alex's blog from Jan had said that he would be interning at Lazard Middle Market this summer.

Agreed; I like Jimmy fine, but Sean is such a trooper, so dedicated, and such a performer.
can we send Jimmy and Sean (and Timmy D for that matter) to SA? Although if Tim is not traveling with the Cains, his chances are

Not to mention that this season, Sean is already 25 points above Jimmy. 25...
Maybe the USFS is trying to encourage less warhorsey music and more programs with viral potential
Not saying Sean's music is warhorsey just that Jimmy did make a splash last Nationals.I don’t know much about Jimmy Ma, but I remember his charismatic programs at 2018 US Nationals. Big crowd pleaser. His bios are old, like really old. I suppose because Skate America will be his his first big international competition(actually first international comp since 2014 it seems). Has he been injured or focused on other things? His eleventh place at last nationals is a big leap from 20th in 2017. He must be thrilled.

Jimmy was great at Nationals. But if they were going to go off of the results of nationals... why the wait? Why bother with a TBD spot at all and wait this late to name someone if you are not going to take summer into consideration? Jimmy has not impressed this summer, Sean has. Either summer counts or it does not, just pick one USFS.
Had Jimmy been named to SA right off the bat I think most of us would be happy and agree with it. But if you wait, you should look at how people are doing over the summer.

Is Jimmy the only newbie at Champs Camp? Is it possible Sean was also invited or that the TBD spot has not been finalized?
Sigh. First of all, we don't know that Sean isn't invited yet. We only know that Jimmy is.
If they've chosen Jimmy over Sean, then I think it's because Jimmy is a member of the next generation. I don't think they knew that they were going to go with him. And I don't think it's because he's a crowd pleaser. Sean is a crowd pleaser too so that's not the reason.
I personally think Emmanuel should have been added to the ISP, considering he defeated a bunch of the guys on the top ten list this summer and has the third highest score.
But Jimmy had a solid performance in Philadelphia while Emmanuel didn't, and Jimmy defeated Dolensky head-to-head there. So Jimmy has a summer-results-related argument against everyone not on the JGP except Sean. With Sean, I think sadly, it would have to be an age-related and/or stage-of-his career argument.

Alex Krasnozhon is new this year... brain too fuzzy to think of any others but I do think there are others outside of men.
It is *possible* that they are both invited and it is not finalized... but i have seen no hints of that from Sean. Also Jimmy and Tim both now have Challenger assignments and nothing for Sean... jeez throw the guy a bone.
Jimmy is worth spending development on... I just think two challengers for him and SA for Sean would have been fair to both and still give Jimmy a chance to develop.
