lol, I don't think Ice Dancing went down because of lyrics, I think it went down when it became itemized. I actually like the Scorpians :\.soogar said:Here's some heresy for you .. I think T&D were overrated. My personal favorites were Usova and Zhulin. However I think that the best ice dancers of all time were Klimova and Ponamerenko... they were reputed to be the best technical ice dancers and they were very pretty to watch. I never got into Gritchuk and Platov but then again, I think that ice dancing has gone downhill ever since they've allowed songs with lyrics. I think that lyrics really cheapen the competition and the programs just don't flow like they used to. Either they're skating to one crappy Scorpions song (L&T) or disco muzak.
They didn't.Grgranny said:I sure never heard they banned classical music. When did that happen?
Don't get me started on Gritshuk & Platov -- they had their moments, but also probably made more blatant mistakes in their programs than any other dance couple on that level. I find their 4-year utter domination to be a bit mystifying and quite frankly rather suspicious.
