Thank you, Screech, for the info about David Wilson. I looked up his name on Buttle's skating and bio info on the ISU results page but didn't know anything about him. Do you know what his skating background is? He's got an amazing choreographic eye, that's for sure.screech said:Jeff's choreographer is David Wilson who works out of Toronto. He also choreographs for Joannie Rochette and Cynthia Phaneuf. And I agree, Ave Maria is absolutely BEAUTIFUL!
My highlights:
Jeff
Sasha

They showed them on CBC later in the evening.dlkksk8fan said:Mathmann how did you get to see Fumie and Li?!! They didn't show them on my TV.
eliza88 said:I loved the exhibitions! My favorites were Weir, Buttle, and Michelle! I think I have already rewatched each of these 3 times! Johnny--beautiful skate and amazing music! Buttle--never heard an upbeat Ave Maria but wowie this guy is such an original and amazing skater! (I have been saying all weekend to my husband Michelle should use Buttle's choreographer and really milk the MITF! They have the same coach now--why not the same choreographer?). Michelle's skate was so incredibly smooth and wonderful--of course it had me screaming at the TV, "Why didn't you put this choreography/passion/MITF into your LP? Oh, also loved Lambiel's program! Just amazing spins.
I really enjoyed all the Russian music. P/T skate was great fun! Why don't they skate their competitive programs with such personality?

It was broadcast on Eurosport, at least the German version. She wore a leather(ish) helmet/mask for it and vamped a lot. I think she looked silly, but I'm not her target audience.STL_Blues_fan said:Mzheng,
BTW, I just found out that the song that we saw was not the main attraction so to speak, it was an encore! The costume was meant to be for a Catwoman program. I wish we could see the whole thing.
Mathman said:PS. I hope someone will answer Kbrdmn's question about Fumie's music. ITA, that was a marvelous.
