2018 Nepela Trophy Ladies Free Skate

[Tolstoj]

Intrigued by Elizabet's FS.

Otono Porteno is an interesting choice and not the usual overused Piazzolla's piece.

From practices, the music sounds really good, not like overused piece

I've just notice the random pine trees in the Kiss and Cry, interesting choice there.

Hyunsoo seems pleased with her score, or maybe her coach said something funny.

For a minute there I though Elizaveta wasn't on the rink, but here she is!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Wow, Elizaveta's coach has one HUGE turtle neck there!

Also, the resolution on my video is terrible, is Elizaveta's dress green too? Either way I like the sparklely gold straps.

Maybe they are out there because the Christmas decorations are going up soon?

Whaaat, it's September! Christmas decorations get put up earlier every year...I saw a Christmas section at a shop I went to today. :noshake:

OMG this music is such a huge contrast from everything before!

 

[ancientpeas]

Hey.. I like Sia as much as anyone else but a 16 year old skating to a song about alcoholism is a bit much for me. There are more appropriate Sia songs.

Oh, is that what it's about? To be honest I usually can't tell what a song is about most of the time...unless the lyrics are totally in your face and sometimes not even then.

I thought this song was about partying hard

Here there is a generalized belief that you don't turn on your Christmas lights and put up decorations until after Remembrance day on November 11th. It seems more respectful. But the stores often start selling Christmas stuff in September.

 

[MaiKatze]

Just arrived in time to see a skater skate to Chandelier? At least, it's different.

 

[Jeanie19]

Nice skate for Maria Sofia. I hope they don't deduct for the slight leanover at the end.

Man, in my family we don't put the decorations until the first day of Advent.

I can't tell you how horrified I am when the Easter stuff comes out on New Year's Day

It is about Sia's six year battle with alcoholism and how she used alcohol to avoid intimacy and feeling connected.

The girl who danced in Sia's video to this song was even younger though. I understand your problems with it, but then there are juniors skating to Big Spender, Roxanne, etc.

Deep!

But wow I didn't think Sia was old enough to have a six year battle with alcoholism, she must have become addicted young

Wow, the judges didn't think much of Maria Sofia's tech, but they loved her components! I've never seen such a disparity between the two before!

Sia is actually older than your average hip popstar. She's 42 and had a few records out before her big break.

:shocked: Wow I never would have guessed!

In other news this scrolling scoreboard thing is making my eyeballs hurt.

First skater of the second group is up now.

I think it is easier to identify songs that are sexually inappropriate but I feel there are other examples so it doesn't just turn into some sort of "lets keep the bonnets on the ladies" kind of thing. I also think that a junior skating to Back to Black, Rehab or I'm no good by Amy Winehouse is inappropriate and I could probably write an essay on why no junior should skate to Who wants to live Forever or My Way.
