Wow! That's an impressive list of skaters for Wilson. Will be interesting to see what he brings to Johnny's programs this year.
 
Finally! I've been waiting for that partnership forever...

though I will miss seeing what Denis would have come up with - had Johnny decided to stick with his work.
 
This should be good news. He needs to get away from the drab choreo he's been using since Otonal, imo.

I do not think Johnny can work out a routine on his own, and make it his. The only one I enjoyed was TT's. Also I'm impressed with Wilson's choreo because, like TT's, it is more of a dancey kind. Johnny should be able to do it.

Maybe he could also try Kurt Brownings choreo, too while he's up in Canada. He could use one for the SP and one for the LP.
 
Pleasant news. Wilson did Sasha's R&J and Joannie's Firebird. I hope this portends a program with some real drama and emotion - that's been AWOL in Johnny's programs over the past few years.

I do not particularly like Kurt as a choreographer.

Perhaps the problem would be that Kurt doesn't seem to like Johnny particularly as a skater. (at least that's my impression from interviews and his commentary)
 
Kurt isn't working with Johnny, so it's kind of a moot point, at least in terms of this year's choreography.
 
I am surprised at this, but I think it is a good move. Judges like Wilson's work and Johnny certainly could use a fresh perspective. I hope he picks some inspiring music this season...good choreography with bad music is pointless.

I am sure (or at least I hope) that Wilson will insist on music, that doesn't sound as if I could have composed it with some mediocre synthesiser.

The short is to a high-energy Spanish piece, not a re-mix, and the long is kind of a continuation of the fallen angels' theme. Don't know about synthesizers.
 
It could be a good mix. The angel shtick is Johnny's bread and butter. Not sure I can see him intruding on Evan's toreador turf, but who knows.
