2024 Finlandia Trophy Rhythm Dance

[Karoltyna]

I don't know, they seemed to skate despite the music?

 

[Seven Sisters]

This announcer's level of enthusiasm must be fueled by alcohol, coffee, and that salted licorice that only Finnish people can Finnish eating. I appreciate it as I lie here nearly comatose.

Salted licorice sounds amazing. I must have some!

I'm a Believer (From "Shrek The Musical" Original Cast Recording)

I don't know what that is and I refuse to respond to it.

and then i saw your face
now i'm not a believer
and not a trace
of doubt in my mind

 

[Seven Sisters]

The second Le Freak in a row, and we’ve just begun.

Who will skate it better?

ETA: I think I liked the Ukrainians better. More freaky

 

[labgoat]

If anyone could've made the Monkees work it would have been Pate & Bye - missed opportunity.

We're going to have at least three Le Freak programs in this event (the third courtesy of Disco Brits). This is entirely too much freak and ce n'est pas chic.

Pate & Bye

 

[labgoat]

I never want to hear Car Wash again either.

 

[jgg220]

Le freak, c'est chic, I feel weak, my kitchen sink has a leak, I seek a peek beak (cue Plushenko shaking his groove mullet thang).

 

[Ichatdelune]

On the topic of everybody picking the same songs: it pains me that while I do not enjoy James Brown both Oona and Gage and Juulia and Matthias skate to his song

 

[CellarDweller]

Disco lives!

 

[Ares]

This RD was better than in Angers from Eva & Logan. Their pattern step was really good I thought and I had no idea they were married until Mark told that.

 

[labgoat]

Eva Pate = Le Freak - does not compute...

 

[Weathergal]

I like Pate & Bye, but this season they really don't stand out to me. I'm glad they scrapped their FD though.

 

[CellarDweller]

It could be worse...........they could all be skating to "push push...in the bush!"

and the Ukrainians also did Get Up Offa That Thing, which the Browns will perform here in a few minutes. I know the economy is tough, but the ice dancers don't all have to use the same Spotify playlist for RD choices.

I now understand why I really dislike this RD for P/B - the music is too big for them and I don’t believe them in this dance at all. They have no connection to the music and it’s like they are play acting at being 70s dancers.

There is nothing freaky about them, too white bread for this music.

If the Browns are funky and soulful, then I'm 22 years old and capable of getting up offa this thing (my fainting couch) in under 90 seconds.

 

[labgoat]

One of the many things I like about the Browns is how closely they track their lobes and change holds.
