FD: The Lion King
choreographers listed: Angelika Krylova, Pasquale Camerlengo, Igor Shpilband, Renee Petkovski

...well, we'll see if they will also be a victim of the music rights problem

The RD choice sent me into a fit of giggles. I’m trying to imagine that team’s interpretation of Metallica/AC/DC

Most of the issues I've heard about with Disney music have come from non-American skaters, and it's not fair at all, but maybe that has something to do with it. I mean, we'll have to wait and see, and there very well could be some American skaters who have had issues, but we just haven't heard about them yet.

Plazas and Fernandez have a Lion King FS skate, too, so also worth keeping an eye on.

Good theory. It would be really annoying if there was some truth to that.

Sad.

Same problem for me as Misha/Alisa's (potential - unclear) repeat of their long program. It was so well done by the end of the season that I'm not sure what else they could do with the program. It's the Olympic year, and I want something fresh.

Oh Tomoki....

I know I am betraying my generation, but words cannot express how much the song Freebird grates on my last nerve. I would rather watch a comp where every single skater uses Bolero for the short and free than one "Freebird".

I am really disappointed. I did not want them to keep any program but I'd be ok if they decided to keep the flamenco SP .
But a thought of listening to Malade for another season is just killing me... why ohh why?!!!
Did they think that no other program would work as well as Malade for them? For God sake! I would kind of understand it if they were going to Olympics and wanted to skate a program which proved itself already as a crowd pleaser. But sadly it is highly unlikely to happen.
So I think they are missing a good opportunity to improve artistically this season.
