Nice skate, for where they are developmentally. They have a cute dynamic, even if they don't look super well-matched visually. Good singles skaters, still working on some of the pairs skills, but good basics.

(They are so cute that I want to adopt them, but I can't just adopt any baby pair I see, can I?)

Addyson/Aaron. Nice blue outfits and program. A few mistakes, but the final sequence was so good.

She's disappointed, but it was not that bad of a skate for a very ambitious skate and a team that was in an unexpected situation after the Short. They have a nice look on the ice and will surely look much better later on in the season. Good supportiveness within the team and with their coach.

I don't think artists need to explain why they do things. Some people like stuff, some people don't like it... but that doesn't necessarily belong to the artists themselves. They do what they like and what makes them happy.
Imagine, Einaudi loves his own music

Didn't say they had to explain (though with crap covers and crappier novelty songs, I would paraphrase Wodehouse on writers, "a simple apology was all that was required.") We do suffer through an awful lot of dire covers that presumably make the singers happy. Or at least pay them well enough to fake it.

It's part of what makes us fans (and not easy to explain to nonfans, like the epic Moonlight we just heard....)

Mark - the junior world champions were in the senior field last season as well, and the season before. They are still age eligible for juniors and still have the CTES...

oh this song...i don't not hate it...

oh this song...i don't not hate it...

Pairs skating has yet to discover the blessings of Heavy Metal.

That's a nice programme from the Czech pair, but it needs a lot of tidying up.
