He skated just fine! That was truly not a great Men's competition. Jason, Vince and Nathan were very good. The rest.....they tried!

OMG THAT BACK STAG JUMP INTO BACK LUNGE WAS GENIUS AND I DIED
Meagan replied:
I’m giving Jason Brown 120 points for this short program. 119 of them are for that move!

The Alvin Ailey choreographed performance piece Revelations includes Sinnerman. The Sinnerman part starts at 19:40 but the whole piece is worth watching. I can really see the homage to Ailey in Jason's choreography.

Just a quick post before Dance resumes.
What a BEAUTIFUL program that was from Jason today! So masterfully constructed and executed. I love seeing so many positive comments from people I don't normally see talk about him. The things he was doing in the program, the positions, the leaps, are so incredibly difficult to carry out.
Thanks to Jason AND ROHENE for making my dance-loving heart happy today with more to look forward tomorrow,, and thanks to my hubby for bringing me a dinner tray while watching Pairs.
One of the best parts of seeing Jason skate today was the smile on his face and the feeling of joy he exuded while exiting the ice. As he was excitedly waving to the Zoom peeps it almost made me forget there was really no audience there.
I think I've only re-watched the program about 15 times, but the day is not over yet. Bravo, Jason.
Wait. He really skates last again??? My god.

I was so incredibly happy. I am deep into house hunting stuff, but this skate made my day! He brought so much energy into that arena. It felt like it was full of people. He does that! He was relating to the audience through the camera lens. He's amazing. I watched without commentary. It's so much nicer! I'll rewatch with commentary. Really looking forward to tomorrow! All three podium skaters were really good. But Jason exhibited the pure joy of skating, It's a whole different level.

Jason, you did it again. Every movement was perfection and I am so happy that Jason wants to keep the short program for next season. The crowd will go wild

I had to watch this several times to let it sink in. Gorgeously choreographed, beautifully executed. Wow! What an athlete. He looked SO well trained, and he seemed like he was just breathing normally when he finished. Masterpiece! Glad he was able to forge ahead and keep training, even during these difficult times. And this move -- what even?!

I was watching it again this evening, for the I-don't-know-how-many'th time, and when he stepped up into that beautiful triple Axel I suddenly flashed back to the 2012 Grand Prix Final, and the first time he landed it, after years of people declaring he never would.
If there is a skategod, I just want the chance to see him live, one more time.

It's been a while I wrote something longer, but, well, special things require special measures.
Have to say that Jason's SP as a sole concept 'on the paper' blows my mind for good past few seasons - he together with Rohene truly mastered the idea to put a mini-spectacle out there, managing to let us sometimes forget he performs it all on the ice. Seeing 'Sinnerman' yesterday shook me to the core - maybe it was about just missing Jason's incredible quality of skating he gives and maybe the program hit me that hard.
I always marvel over Jason's musicality, but in this SP I think he takes it to a different level, even for himself - with such intricate music piece like 'Sinnerman', it requires a sensitive hand to make the music stay as standout as it is AND to make it in synch with performer. Rohene did a PHENOMENAL job of making it happen and Jason truly outdid himself considering circumstances and that this was 1st performance of this SP.
The most insane thing for me right now? That this was just the beginning of this program's growth. It's already so sublime all around to watch and so 'tasty' to process. Jason is one of this few people in skating who manages to produce performance engaging all senses & integrate vision with sound in special, unique way for me. This 'sensuality' level of the way he integrates choreography with music and his body movement makes it all so complex - and with the amount of transitions added into that SP, there's almost a sensory overload experience lol. But to be honest, Jason makes woven intricacy on so many levels just RIGHT to watch & savor.
Another thing that made that performance so great was his confidence. To pull off this kind of number, selling out choreography and carry on with technical skills without disrupting the flow of whole thing it requires to be totally convinced about your craft - despite PACKED program, I saw how Jason caries about expressing it by his whole body; one of very few skaters who can translate charisma/feel of the music by mere flick of his wrist or hand movement.
It hit me also how amazingly Jason managed to expand & develop his own, already established brand of skating - not taking any difficulty from pulling off a quad, but sometimes it's hard to imagine for me how difficult it has to be to preserve this level of overall detail/quality of edge, of performance nuance and constant repertoire re-invention inside of a skill Jason possess. Taking split, stag jump, spirals by themselves as elements require a lot of work to put on, but to make these elements seamlessly flow one into another in-between jumps/spins with no impact on tempo/musical accentuation/expression level just blows my mind, beyond remarkable to witness.
I am personally very happy to see that Jason never stops to polish his skill and to find new ways to expand it in competitive performances - that he focuses on gradual development of his technical content with constant upping his artistic ante out there. Would I prefer to see him already having a stable quad? Of course I would because I would feel much stronger towards his competitiveness in strict sense of that word as he is my favourite man in the field. But one thing I learned to loathe in skating is HURRY, especially a forced one - with Jason, the utter satisfaction his all-around presence and skating brings to my FS watching experience, I think the worst thing happening would be to see him losing that artisanal craftmanship confidence over his own brand built & developed over the years over forcing technical content upgrades (quads). I wish the usual narrative appearing at all times when he produces performance like yesterday's of diminishing his value because of not being on par with ppl with quad content would for once think the other way around - why there's so little/none of a call out and negative narrative/scrutiny directed towards skating with multiple quads that lacks in other, often basic, areas? Sometimes it seems like a lot of folks can't just stomach the idea not only pure skating quality thriving, but also of enjoying it so widely by audience who I think by majority totally acknowledges technical capabilities of Jason's skating at this point. It's almost like I was told that I shouldn't enjoy Jason's skating in it's current state just because he jumps no quad in competition, which is beyond hilarious to be honest.
'Sinnerman' SP oozes of sophistication and nuance level I don't think I ever saw from Jason - there's that 'compress/release' kind of performance energy there, characteristic for him, but taken to a different dimension I feel; it's more evocative through body shapes and gestures than I ever saw from him - there's something electric going on between that music & how the movement 'makes dialogue' with it. And the way Jason manages to build/graduate performance intensity is really second to none, even with such intricate pieces of music.
I wouldn't really name this performance or a program as a concept as 'beautiful' - it's more about sensual grittiness, edge simmering under beyond elaborate surface made of flowing motion. It's more of an artful creation/experience already and seeing this was just a premiere, it's SCARY. Chapeaux bas, Jason.
