Your own personal season 2023-24 wishlist

watch with us! you won't regret it
Indeed.
"A figure skating fan reacts to Eurovision" would make a viral reaction video on YouTube.
Here, we have a bunch of figure skating fans reacting to Eurovision online. It's priceless. I'm saying this as someone who viewed the thread the next day because I traditionally watch Eurovision with my family :slink:
 
I also wish that no one skates to Vivaldi's Four Seasons
Oh, yes! God, yes! Dear God, please, give us just this one season without Vivaldi's Four Seasons! 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Although I fear that this music is as inevitable as the seasons change :(
 
glad someone else is aware of this masterpiece


That is so cool. But, it helps when Vivaldi's raw material is so good. ;)

Unfortunately, "Winter" is the only season that is on the 7DD9 YouTube channel. However, I found another channel that has synthesiser versions of all of the "Four Seasons":

"Spring": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5rOt8nEuGn0
"Summer": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bx-6P5wBkMc
"Autumn": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=24ZJg3R5Zao
"Winter": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1-Gupagw9U

I admit, the "Winter" isn't as good as the version you linked to. But, at least this user has done the whole year.

The videos I linked to are only recently recorded (I don't know about the one you linked to). But, it started me thinking "does it have to be music released in the 80's, or can it be music done in the style of the 80's?" So, I checked the ISU Announcement, and this is what it said:

"The theme selected for the Rhythm Dances for both Junior and Senior for the season 2023/24 is “Music and Feeling of the Eighties”. Any music is possible provided it was originally released in the decade of the 1980s. The couple should demonstrate through dance the culture and feeling/essence of this decade. The selected music may be remastered. The Rhythm Dance should NOT be skated in the style of a Free Dance. The couple must use dance movements and dance holds to interpret the chosen music from this decade."

So, recently recorded synthesiser versions of warhorses release before the 80's or since would not be allowed.

The "originally released" part does raise alarm bells. To me, that sounds like they are not allowing 80's covers of earlier songs. So, for example, Tiffany's cover of "I Think We're Alone Now" that @labgoat suggested yesterday, would not get through.

But, the mention of remastered versions may mean that my suggestion of the 2005 accoustic version of "Hier Kommt Alex" by Die Toten Hosen may be allowed after all.

Oh, I wish the ISU could make things clearer when they write the rules! :drama:

EDIT: Sorry, I thought this was the "Let's Dance 80's" thread. I'll copy this conversation over there so as not to de-rail this thread.​

you guys are so serious :) i was just joking... :)

Don't worry, I realised it was a joke (as was @yesterday's comment that you were replying to).

But, my journey of exploration started by those jokes brought up some issues that could be significant. So, it is a good job you guys did decide to have a bit of fun.

I love most classical music that's used in figure skating, despite not wanting it to be chosen again because I want some variety.
But I am not fond of Vivaldi for some reason. It can be very nice live, but blasting from speakers or my laptop I get a bit sick from it.
 
I would like some lady to skate to Sarah MacLachlan's Possession - perhaps Bradie or Amber?
 
I wish that Kaitlin Hawayek and Jean-Luc Baker compete to the best of their abilities this coming season and be recognized for the top elite skaters they are. And for the USA Pairs to all skate well at 2024 American nationals. so that the result is not predetermined. And yes for this mess with the Olympic team medals gets resolved so that the USA, Japan and Canada teams get their medals!

I really like Hawayek and Baker. I feel gutted for them! They'll never get the scores they deserve. I see a bunch of teams passing them this season.

YES!!!! This ^^^ 1000%.
 
I want Piper and Paul to finally get rewarded. And for Piper to stay healthy.
I want Kaori, Jason and Shoma to enjoy the season and deliver amazing programs.
I want the many fantastic younger men to continue to evolve and live up to their potential. Jun, Deniss, Matteo, Kevin, Adam etc, they all bring something unique and fun to the table.
One can never have enough cartwheels and kicks, either...

Well we disagree on that last point. I do not foresee many teams passing them this upcoming season. Especially in the USA (Fingers crossed mightily.)
