*WARNING: serious gushing follows*


I'm totally in awe of their collaboration together. It far exceeded my expectation. Jeremy moves with such freedom and musicality in this program. And I seriously never would've thought Shae-Lynn had this much innovation and an understanding for the music in her just by watching her as an ice dancer. Bravo!

Isn't this the same version Michelle used? and something makes me think that I heard this music last season. Not really a fan of all the pushing the hands through the hair. I don't feel blown away as I thought I would. Love the circular step sequence. His jumps look really good. I just hope that the program looks a little more unique as it develops over the season.

I just hope that his Triple Axel survives the entire season this time, not just the first half.

Khokhlova/Novitski FD "Polyushko-pole" (Russian folk song)

 

[Buttercup]

Seen in posts by Nmsis over on FSU and Passion Patinage: L'Equipe reported today that Brian Joubert's LP music is Ancient Lands by Ronan Hardiman (a.k.a part of Yagudin's Overcome).

I was certainly hoping for something else. :frown2: But maybe it'll still turn out ok? I guess we'll find out soon.

ETA: I looked it up, and it's less than four minutes, so there must be something else besides in the program. I wonder what.

British skaters - new FDs

Here is a link to NISA TV which is showing some of the British ice dancers' FDs from the latest IJS event.

The first showing of Kerr/Kerr's FD is on there to be viewed for free.
As are the FDs of many British skaters, like Chitwood/Hanretty, Coomes/Buckland and others.

Thanks. I checked it out, and there's nothing about the music on L'Equipe's website, but maybe Nemsis read it in the newspaper.

I agree, it wasn't what I was hoping for (that would be "All for You" :agree, but I'm listening to it right now and I think it's really nice music, and that it would suite Brian.

Here's a page from the FFSG's olympic blog. Further down there is a video interview with Brian, where he explains how he feels about this program:

Yes, I forgot to mention that Nmsis wrote it was in the print edition.

Me too! The music could work with the right choreo, and I'm really curious as to what Albena and Maxim came up with.

ETA: Music choices for all the French skaters appear in the FFSG 2009-10 media guide.

And the guide says "Ancient land" Maxime Rodriguez. Should be another piece than "Ancient lands" by Ronan Hardiman?

I think there are so moves here and there that are so unique like the little backward trots on an outside edge he did after the circular steps that it takes a very good choreographer to come up with them. I was really impressed because I think it was skated with such musicality and really embraced the emotions that the music asks for. I just hope he keeps this freedom throughout the season. Oh, yes, and his 3axel too.

Well, Maxim Rodriguez usually plays and revisits pieces of music that already exist.

OK. I always thought Maxime Rodriguez made new music. Like for Candeloro(D'Artagnon), Abitbol/Bernadis and other french skaters.

Their performance is of their new OD.

Evan Lysacek SP - who had their money on Firebird?

Actually, it is a bit less of of a warhorse than I'd expected (was expecting Swan Lake or something similar) but still completely unoriginal. Oh Evan, why can't you skate to soundtracks? The Lord of the Ring movies had music that would have been great for him.

 

[merrybari]

Personally I'm delighted with this choice. I think it's a compelling piece of music that he can sink his teeth into and relate to as well, which is a key ingredient, imo, to presenting a strong and powerful performance. This one lends itself - depending on the cut of course, to many moods that should showcase all that he's learned and added to his arsenal over the past few years leading into this Olympic season. An Olympic choice for the Olympic season. :agree:

Evan doing Swan Lake? Come on, you gotta be kidding.

The Nutcracker, then. Something done to death was the point I was aiming at . I could do a much better job of picking Evan's music than Carroll and Nichol, but I guess that's not saying much.
