I have never been a fan of Mummy programs or of a pairs programatic theme about bringing a manikin to life. (But if they brought a scary Chuckie doll to life, or an evil clown... 
)
But as for Swan Lake and Carmen, I say "Make new friends, but keep the old. One is silver and the other gold.".

The tenderness in this performance on the part of Anton toward his partner is just
Of course nothing beats the original.

I always see the Chaplin theme and the Phantom of the Opera theme as the same: ugly or awkward man falls in love with beautiful girl. Beauty and the Beast and the Hunchback of Notre Dame have the same concept, but the music isn't used as much.I love a good Carmen or Swan Lake, they are just overused.
What I watch only with much grumbling:
Charlie Chaplin
Elvis
No matter how well done
But I agree about disliking the Chaplain character specifically, and Elvis. I didn't even like Elvis Presley's music when I was a kid, although I was too young during his early years and only heard it played when he was past his prime.

I don't think cutprice covers is a theme as such (although there seemed to be a positive rash of them this year 
)
)Me too, me so too (sorry Mikhail K, sorry Javi). I'd add cowboy/western which I find totally cringeworthy no matter how good the skater might be but I think it's mostly in galas anyway, thank god, so my third would be hip hop which is equally cringeworthy when on ice (I actually like some hip hop, but hate it for skating programs.) And I know I've forgotten something...What I watch only with much grumbling:

I've just remembered (what can I say, it's early in the morning and my brain was being merciful). I would take any amount of Chaplin, Elvis and hip hop if I never had to listen to Michael Buble again, so my list changes to...I don't think cutprice covers is a theme as such (although there seemed to be a positive rash of them this year

Ah, well there we must differ I am afraid. That's OK, no one should be in lockstep.
I have actually spent good money to watch Michael Bublé in concert. And I enjoyed it.
There was a time there when he was overdone in skating, but I think sadbois have overtaken him now.

That's fine, I have dearly beloved pieces of music I have to listen to with headphones because they make my nearest and dearest mildly homicidal....Ah, well there we must differ I am afraid. That's OK, no one should be in lockstep.

Bublé is not necessarily bad and not really overused as others who are way worse and way more overused. I love a good tango
Too bad there are many awful ones. So I guess we are once more in a spiral thread showing once more how as fans, we will never agree on anything
