Wow! Love the contrast of styles! And his FS is definitely a departure from his lyrical FS (and Riverdance!!!)

Thank you, I like these choices! I think they will allow him to take new directions: the SP can be really enjoyable and crowd-pleasing as long as it doesn't have the typical boring jazz/swing/twist choreography (I trust in Ward); the FS will obviously require drama, and we didn't really get it from Jason recently, so

Aaron and Farris are on the roster for the Vail Invitational (July 9 to 13) -- both men for both SP and FS.
ETA: Thanks for Hersh's tweet with the Brown news. @jasonbskates retweeted it, so I would say the confirmation is 100%.

They're good athletes, very capable skaters, but they have zero presence and are completely unmemorable. Look at how they were shunted down off the podium when I/K got their **** together in Sochi and skated lights-out. Skating second to last in the final flight, B/S were utterly forgettable. Even W/P and C/L in the group before were better.
Sorry, but they're not distinguishing themselves by dancing to an old chestnut that's been far better done in the past by Witt, Navka / Kostomarov, Plushy, V/M, B/B (1985 Worlds) ... the list goes on.
I want Russian duelling Carmens for the drama factor. But I want it from S/K and I/Z! Complete with both teams doing the exact same lift, and some kind of diva face-off. And hopefully without one party severely under-performing a la Debi Thomas (I really disliked her Carmen even outside of the mistakes though).
B/S doing Carmen would just be... well... I'll keep an open mind. I don't think they're a horrible team or something. I also don't mind the use of old music as long as it's done well. But I gotta admit, the following thought did cross my brain: At least it's SD and not FD. It'll be over quickly.
Felt pretty terrible afterwards, but still.

OK, so B/S, S/K AND I/Z ALL DO CARMEN.
THAT I can be down with.
I'll give B/S some credit ... they're pretty consistent, so if one of the other teams falter, or both, then they would move to the head of the line.
And to be fair I think B/S will be Russian #1 next season in any event, and challenge for the worlds podium.
Prediction: S/K and I/Z both do wonderful, innovative Carmens while B/S predictably does a snoozefest. However, S/K and I/Z both choke up at Worlds--the former has no twizzles, and the latter fall during a lift... thus causing B/S to come out ahead to the ire of people everywhere.
Oops, wrong thread?

I wouldn't say "ire". I'm not a big fan of theirs but they're hardly offensive. They just won't generate the excitement that D/W or V/M or even I/K at Sochi would.

Agree.
Very good and different to choose blues for a Short Program. I'm sure Jason's musicality and a choreographer as inventive as Little Walter will result in a great performance :thumbsup:
I'm positive about the dramatic Tristan & Iseult as well. Listening to the music I can almost imagine him skating to it. Wonder if it will be a bit 'Candelorish'
Really excited to watch both programs.
Gotcha.
And I really hope people don't hate on B/S! Despite my carping at how I personally am not their biggest fan, they seem like lovely people.

Oooh, very exciting. I wanted Jason to do a "classical" piece, but was worried he would go for one of the warhorses. I love this choice... very dramatic, and I think he'll be able to show more emotional range with such an expressive/explosive piece.

Yankowskas/Gaman SP music choice seems to be Phantom.
And Alex Johnson hinted that his FS has something to do with Johnny Depp.
Can't be sure, but your wish (and mine) re Camerlengo for Max's FS is looking quite plausible.
Agree that Tom Z's blog entry was very thoughtful.

Belated thanks to BG
for carrying over the stuff from the earlier preview thread for 2014/15. Sorry that I forgot before to say thanks.
IIRC, Scimeca/Knierim had said at the same time that Lion King was their second choice after the Wizard of Oz. Dunno whether they were in joking in both, one, or none of their comments.
