this year we have a vampire epidemic and a swan epidemic i wonder what would happen if the two blend into one

Poor Kevin found the remains I guess (this explains his gloves)

When do we get them in the same competition as Davis/Smolkin? I need the battle of the swans!

Swans are pretty aggressive in the wild

vampiric swans ?

M/M. Great costumes to match the program. Really good skate and all greens.

Nice skate. I'm not sure the music choice really helped them, though. Swan Lake get so overused that it is difficult to do a really stand out performance to it (much like Bolero). Maddie Schizas's SP did stand out last year, but that is the only one of the many Swan Lake programmes I actually remember from the past few years.

I hadn't seen this before and it was better than I thought it would be
they were very convincing in their roles
it's just not an original idea

Genuinely curious, could that spin where he had her on his head be considered a pairs move as well? That was nuts!

I think bombastic Tchaikovsky does suit the Mrazaks but I think it would be better to give them something that wasn’t so strongly associated with other ice dancers and overused in general. Why not a fresher piece from same composer? If you want characters, why not one of his operas? Or, idk, Manon has a conflict between a brother and sister doesn’t it?

Diana, but I have a tutu.
Katya, but I have a headpiece.

I did not find a very strong waltz feel to this skate. I know they are capable of deep edges and have wonderful rhythm, but it is all very muted in this program for me. Lots of dramatic posing but it diluted the waltz feel.

Browns!

Leave my Kevin alone! How much do I care for him? I'd be willing to let @4everchan have Maxime! LOL

 

[icewhite]

I really don't hate this song, I just hate it for figure skating and their outfits depress me.

 

[4everchan]

what is this musical arrangement???

SIGH.

French CBC : raving all about Gage. Nothing about Oona.

 

[elektra blue]

this is the song you play when you're ugly-crying in your car, i don't know if it fits the Brown

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I love the Browns but this program is pretty mid

 

[cheerknithanson]

Wow!
