2021 Skate America: Free Dance

[ladyjane]

Madison and Evan are great. I love this alien programme. Really enjoyed it. Original.

 

[Seven Sisters]

this seems the appropriate time ... plus, folks are wined up now

Doodling during the practice cam earlier:

Smouldering Beauty and Handsome Swain - Annabelle Morozov and Andre Begin

Simply Put, Best Looking - Lawrence F-B and Nik Sorensen

Gorgeous Blonde and Spanish Heartthrob - Olivia Smart and Adrian Diaz

Boy Next Door and Beauty Queen - Madi Chock and Evan Bates

Innuendo, Love, Sex and Chemistry Majors - Madi Hubbell and Zachary Donohue

Oh, and in case you think that last is a negative comment, it's very much not. I'm in love with H/D. The way they show power and charisma in even the lyrical love pieces is simply Amazing!

Years ago I saw CB described as, That Hot Girl from your high school — skating with her Algebra Tutor. The brilliant accuracy of that description has stuck with me all these years.

What I like most about this program is that Madi & Evan seem to move in a different way to this music. I see some exploration of movement in a weightless dimension. I am not sure who falls for who in this story. I think it would make Evan more interesting if Madi fell for him.

 

[Jammers]

You mean a male alien-marmeid-snake?

Evan is too boring to ever be Madison's equal out there.

 

[Mauvedreamer]

That was brilliant. Wonderful conceptual piece. Very innovative. Love it.

 

[Artemisa]

Sorry this program for them isn't my cup of tea .. maybe for other pair it could be (ex. piper) .. but for them it looks like they are trying to much

 

[FlyingFeather]

This program is growing on me. Hopefully, it will hold up for the judges at the Olympics.

 

[4everchan]

Wow the Canadians barely hang on for bronze. I'm not sure they are happy to have almost lost to the Spanish team.

considering their disastrous outing at an earlier challenger, i am sure they are very happy with this performance.

 

[elektra blue]

will madison abduct the judges?

 

[rollerblade]

First half was better than second half, which is never a good thing.
But they only had 5 weeks with this program, right?

 

[Astolat]

How nice it is to have such fun programs as the ones from today. There was a time when we constantly had so many generic lyrical pieces that it was boring to watch. I mean Papadakis/Cizeron are my favourite ones, but good to have a little bit of theatre again.

 

[Chantilly]

Hmm

Love the concept of this program

Love the costumes

But as soon as the vocals start it loses me

It sounds very dated and like a hit song from the 70’s

Wish they had more speed

But lifts are fantastic and I like the risk etc

 

[auser]

Great straight line lift and lovely sliding elements from C/B

 

[ana]

Go Maddie/Zachary!

 

[LadyB]

well well MF has been busy during the lock down.... i think she started mushroom harvesting and the study of medicinal plants.

Would be great to see all of them sample a bit of the harvest.

 

[yelyoh]

will madison abduct the judges?

In their dreams!!

 

[4everchan]

I don´t get the story. Are they fighting in the first half? Falling in love in second half?

it is usually the opposite no?

 

[FlyingFeather]

Love Madi H's dress!

 

[el henry]

Peacock has Tara now

Folks have been complaining about Evan simply being background for Madi since forever. I disagree. He does a fine job showing off his partner.

No one, but no one, would be the equal of the dazzling Madison Chock. I usually don't care about skater's looks, but you would have to be blind not to see how gorgeous she is.

 

[LadyB]

Go, Zachy and Madi!!!
