The only things that perhaps should be edited out are posts that are totally slanderous and based on falsehood, or aspects of the skater's private life that the skater has chosen not to reveal to the media and are unrelated to his/her career as a skater.

For example, I would say that e.g., if a skater gets failing grades in school, if a skater has had plastic surgery, if a skater has not so reputable family background, then these are issues that can be edited out from goldenskate.

However, if it's to do with the skaters' selection of music, costume, behavior on the ice, coaching situation, interviews s/he has given, so forth, then posters should be allowed to state their opinions.

You're totally updated. Shocking.....Not.

Anyway I hope Mirai should stay out from message boards. I know it's tough.

I have to admit, I saw that comment and I had to come to this thread to find out for myself

In the short dance format, there is no time frame specified. Only if the SD did not pass were we going to see dances of the 50's, 60's and 70's. . A section of the Golden Waltz is to be skated. The rest of the dance may be foxtrot, waltz or tango. Shibutanis are doing an all waltz SD (short dance), which works for me.

rodgers and hammerstein's Carousel waltz for the Shibutanis' OD: i understand that this was probably written (and performed) in the eras stated and declared for the original dance but...will this be a similar take to the OD by Domnina/Shabalin in 2008-2009 (waltz_________ by Dmitri Shostakovitch)

in my opinion although the music is very "old"disney-esque (aka, to me, 50s ish) it doesn't totally capture the character of the theme....such a broad time range.

perhaps they just don't want to be cliche and use grease or something, but not negative or positive - always excited.

and the shibutanis are also using Chaplin for their FD music

Wow, I can't believe skaters actually read this forum. I wouldn't touch this with a 10-foot pole. But maybe Mirai has more pluck and courage than me. Anyway, Tiny, don't feel bad, I think it's cool that Mirai read what you had to say even if she didn't much like it! I wonder what Mirai thought about all the rest of the music choices we dreamed up for her, if she read that thread... If she did she should know how popular she is just by the fact that so many people picked music for her - even if we do sometimes have criticism.

That sounds promising for Jouby. :yes: Malaguena would suit him. I'll try very hard not to think about Kristi and Sasha when I watch him, though. David Wilson is absolutely the most brilliant COP choreographer out there. He creates competitive AND gorgeous programs.

Brian's Malaguena could be a better version than we have seen before. It will be choreographed by a classical spanish artist, Antonio Najarro, who is now used to work with skaters and brings rthe original flavour to the ice. he has worked with: Annisina / Peizerat on their flamenco - tango OD they used to capture gold in SLC, with Stephane Lambiel on his Poeta LP and with Weaver / Poje on their last season flamenco OD.

I hope that Brian's SP is strong, however I would not expect it to be a "better" version of Sasha's or Kristi's programs. That might be a stretch..... Good choice for him though.
