Kostornaia has so much strength and power to her skating. Those edges. And I actually don’t hate the music cuts - the music is sensitive and epic and R&J has never bothered me as a warhorse. But those voiceovers, seriously????? Super unnecessary and ruining something that would be perfect without them. Alena is a beautiful Juliet and her musicality is stunning. I honestly thought she wouldn’t impress me as much after Kanysheva, but I was wrong.
Talk about greatness, that's what Alyona Kostornaia is. The only thing I disliked was the awful music cuts, everything else was awesome. I think I'm in love with her even more than before.
