Have the Gang of Four Hit Their Peak?

This is what I prefer: Interpretation: "The personal and creative translation of the music to movement on the ice

I just don't see anything personal or creative in copying the original story. Just give me the skater's personal take on the music without the story.

ITA! It drives me batty when I read posts from skating fans that gripe that so-and-so is not interpreting a piece of music accurately, or that a costume isn't the right color for the story of the music and so on. The LAST thing I want to see is someone copying the original intent of the music. That's what drives me nuts about soundtracks. While I think soundtracks have some great built-in highs and lows, watching a skater dress like Robin Hood, the Mummy, etc is immediate grounds for loss of presentation points for lack of creativity (at least in my world of judging - which bears no resemblance to the actual world of judging )
