OMG... you didn't

oh yes...i did it...

 

[4everchan]

when you didn't need to pay music right was cheaper for sure

when was that ? copyright law is pretty old you know... i mean, older than both of our ages added together I suspect

 

[lariko]

i just had haskap berries in straciatella greek yoghurt. so i no longer care about the results...

cannot control the skating, can control what i eat

I grow tons of those. Make a great jam.

i don't think you need to pay rights to Bach

 

[4everchan]

Well, watching her when her teams skate is as more entertaining as than watching the skates.

adjusted your post.

I adore them.

LaLa and L/B are going to pass the Brits very soon. I think Piper and Paul are okay if they skate clean. They will not win in Boston if CB are clean... but they shouldn't be off the podium. G/F are the ones who need to be fearing the younglings (well Lewis is 30 so he is no longer that young) coming at their back. Their robots are not good enough as the scoring here showed.

Seeing LaLa, the Brits and the Italians all within 122 is very revealing. LaLa beat both of them on TES.

I wouldn't mind that because I find both more interesting than the Brits. G/P are not having a strong season so far.

I adore them.

Well, if we ever make the same competition I will bring you a couple of jars

Just want to drop this: Barbara Fusar Poli is an ICON and that stopwatch needs a program made about it. She also needs her own cam.

A double bill with Barbara and Stephane Lambiel would be great!

i don't think you need to pay rights to Bach

if you are streaming it, or even playing it in your dentist office, you still need a license... even if it's public domain music at least, that's the way it is in Canada. You don't need to pay dead people, you need to pay the licensing organizations who then, split the money with all the composers/song writers/artists registered with them

G/P have perhaps the strongest combo of programs this year. (I'd put L/B in second) but they only have not done well outside of Skate Canada.

I really enjoyed their program, but then again I like jazzy stuff. I understand the comments saying jazzy stuff can be "elevator-ish" to some people, but I don't think this is at all. Maybe I was just dazzled by Madi's amazing costume LOL Actually I did think they did a great job.

But...to me the most daring was the French, which I just loved.

The French were energetic, and have a certain je ne sais quoi

But Take Five as elevator music? I would stay in that elevator all day.



Not to mention the great Miles Davis and Round Midnight (although I don't know the version used by Madi and Evan)



This is complex, serious music. Whatever one thinks of the programs.

Chock/Bates 1st for everybody
2nd place:
Canada, Georgia, Finland, France, Spain for Gilles/Poiirier
Italy, USA for Guignard/Fabbri
Great Britain, Ukraine for Fear/Gibson


Italy and Spain had Fear/Gibson in last position
Canada, Great Britain, Ukraine and Georgia have Guignard/Fabbri in 5th position


Finnish judge had Lopareva/Brissaud in 3rd place

 

[Skater Boy]

I don't like the music either. The higher tempo at the end made it seem like they were skating too slowly for it.

Honestly its Chock and Bates. They do get better as the season progresses. They tend t by o be "lucky" and the judges give them the scores. I may have given it to piper and paul in the FD but nope five points above them. I just don't get it. C and B willl win another world and probably OGM but they are no where near PC, Vrrtue and moir or Davis and White or even Navka and kostmmorovv , Annisanna peizerat, Klimova and ponamarenk or even teams who didnf win OGM like Krylova and Oksianikov or Usova and Zhhulin. The Take 5 no is smart as then they will seem fresh when they go back to what they do during the olympic year. Fear and Gibson didn't sparklle here but got bronze Nor did the Italians. Looks like Chock and Bates can win with a major mistake by these scores.

I am really not connecting with either of G/Ps but love both by L/Bs, though obviously, the difference in levels on those step sequences is huge.

 

[lauravvv]

maybe they are trying to pay less for their music right license. elevator/waiting room music is the most basic and cheapest license to get.

Don't be idiotic. Take Five is a legendary jazz music piece. Nothing to do with cheap. I almost am tempted to say that maybe your music taste is cheap.

I was not talking about Take Five. I was talking about the Italian's robot music. I actually love Take Five (though Patrick Chan skated to it better)... and sorry but my musical taste is not to be discussed here

And for pointers, it's not nice to call people names/ insult them because you disagree with them and in this case, I am not even talking about Take Five so even more so

Well we know why you love Take Five

May I ask do you ever teach jazz, or do you stay with classical?

I think some people got confused. Some of us, at least myself, were mentioning elevator music for the italians robots... not for the fine jazz selection of C/B. These threads go fast and people can quote and quote and quote comments without necessarily being in synch.
