I think in Michelle's case it's all in the execution. She performed Miraculous Mandarin only once, not particularly well, so we never got a chance to see what that program might have become.
As for Song of the Black Swan, I think Michelle struggled with the music all season long. The music was beautiful, but dark and somewhat joyless. Even so, if we had not seen any performance of the program except 2001 Worlds, we would have thought the program was brilliant.
Same with Scheherazade. If Michelle had nailed the technical content and skated with fire and passion, I think this program would now be regarded as a masterpiece instead of a disappointment.
