now this could be a hit or miss, i don't know how such a young girl can convey the drama of a song about lynching, but if she can this could be a masterpiece. The Grinch program sounds fun

Iliya Kovler
SP: "Natural" by Imagine Dragons

Debuted at Minto.

love this choice, one of my favourite songs by them!

Moa Iwano
SP: "Strange Fruit" and "Sinnerman" by Nina Simone
Choreo by Benoit Richaud

What ARE they thinking?!!! Does Moa have any understanding of the lyrics of Strange Fruit? :shocked:
Yes, it's a powerful piece of music, but what relevance does it have to her life experience?
Maybe she is very precocious and chose it herself, but if someone else did, they need their heads examined.

 

[Ice Dance]

Not disagreeing at all.

But do you think a lot of junior skaters have life experience that is relevant to Carmen, Cabaret, Moulin Rouge, etc.?

 

[Lunalovesskating]

Ekaterina Kurakova SP: Le Corsaire: Act II - "3. Grand Pas: : Adagio" and Le Corsaire: Act II - "5. Grand Pas: Variation: Medora"

This song is up there with Big Spender for me. Like wow.

And it doesn’t even have the virtue of being peppy music like Big Spender. A song about lynching? that’s not an opera about star crossed lovers, or courtesans, or anything else. It’s about lynching. A whole different level of inappropriate.

I can’t imagine.....

Would you ,please, add FS for Kamila Valieva? It would be Exogenesis, part 3. Thank you.

Agreed. I really hope the songs's been incorrectly identified, because a fifteen-year-old girl from a completely different culture skating to an adult woman's song of grief, rage and despair for lynched Black men in the US south would be Domnina/Shabalin levels of inappropriate. I'd expect Richaud to understand that.

And if the song has been correctly identified, I sincerely hope that the inevitable online pushback goes to the adult man in the situation, not the aforementioned fifteen-year-old girl.

Just a heads up, the news came from Quadruple Axel (a Figure Skating magazine publication in Japan) when they did their reporting on this year's Japanese juniors training camp. Moa was there alongside Japan's other top juniors and Quad Axel did a series of tweets reporting their 2019-2020 programs, including Moa's programs.

Earlier in July, Jack Gallagher reported that her SP as "Sinner Man" by Nina Simone, so I think when she competes we'll get a clearer understanding on what her SP music actually consist of. (https://twitter.com/sportsjapan/status/1148207907101499393).

Whatever the SP music ends up being, I agree with Harriet's post on this.

That's.... ugly. Really the ugliest idea I have heard yet. I only hope this is an error, there is no way she can do it without being way more than just deeply offensive.

I hope so, will wait and see and keep all fingers crossed that it's either a mistake or someone thinks better....

 

[ruga]

Just read the lyrics of 'Strange Fruit'. And umm... Did her coaching and choreography team even read the lyrics? If so, how are they going to even interpet that? Or did they just decide it's some slow piece with generic lyrics?

 

[dorispulaski]

Worse.By combining it with Sinnerman, it could come out sounding like lynching is ok, and a proper punishment for "sin."

Especially if it starts with Sinnerman,
