[AwesomeIce]

A few of my favorite skaters, and their best exhibitions (IMHO, of course!)
Gregory & Petukhov, I loved both their Magician/Doll program, and "The Impossible Dream." The two programs are so different that it would be soooooooooo hard to pick which I like best!

Roca & Sur, The Prayer. I first saw this when I went to see SOI, and I just fell in love!

Berezhnaya & Sikharulidze, The Kid. So innovative and fun to watch!

Alexei Yagudin, Overcome, his exhibition at the SLC Olympics. Great combination of artistry and athleticism.

 

[Tonichelle]

Mine is about the men only. I love to watch the exhibition numbers of following currently eligible skaters

Lambiel
Lysacek
Takahashi
Verner
Weir
Buttle

From pro skaters I really enjoy these skaters, because they all have great choreography combined with great music and have the ability to really connect with the audience:

Browning
Hamilton
Wylie

May I ask - who's Sexy Back?

Fav skaters in exhibitions. Most amazing for me are Lambiel and Shizuka Arakawa. Kurt Browning is very good, love Jeffrey Buttle, Johnny Weir, Carolina Kostner, Sarah Meier.

 

[Ladskater]

Goodness, I forgot to mention Brian Orser! He is one of my "all time" favorites.

May I ask - who's Sexy Back?

It's B/A current exabition. I'm glad that some people enjoy it, by it makes me want to cry it's so awful. It gives hip hop a really, really bad reputation and it should get more respect.

Maybe it gives B/A a bad reputation, and changed their images a little.

 

[Tonichelle]

I don't think it gives them a bad reputation... it just shows that hip hop is way more difficult than it sometimes looks...

I think they do a more pop routine than a hip hop one

 

[Antilles]

Sexy Back is not a hip hop song. It's dance music. I'm not sure I've ever seen a real hip hop song in skating.

 

[Tonichelle]

I don't know which songs go with which dancing version, but I know that Tanith and Ben did say they were trying to bring hip hop to the ice with the program.

They didn't achieve it so much as they brought pop dance to the ice (IMHO)
