S/S used a music from film Ashoka (SP for 2007-08)and they did what they thought was Indian in the program. i have to add she used a hideous costume during the program.
Good music choice! Joannie is very clever. These two categories are the kinds that can easily draw emotional sharing from the audience, if the skater has a little bit of expressiveness, and thus what I wanted my favorite skaters to use. I am wondering which song in Samson and Delilah she is using.
And please put on the makeup and costume, like a real Delilah, not the kinds of pretty dresses you have worn so far.
Good luck Joannie! ~~

Of all the tunes of the Warhorse selection, it is Shez which I believe to be the gem of the pack. Every skater should be indebted to Rimsky-Korsakov for bringing that music with so many different themes and rhythms for them to either compete with or practice with.
It just gets me remembering Sabu as the Elephant boy in Arabia and Dorothy Lamour and John Hall on the island in the South Seas facing a Hurricane. It has all the drama and love interest one could want in a musical piece.
Will Evan show it?

That would be silly if it was true!Will she compete with headphones on as well?
I don't think she practices with headphones on! That would be ridiculous! LOL
In fact some time ago I read from a (non-English) skating discussion forum that someone (the poster) saw her skating to some upheat stimulating soundtrack music while practicing at the rink. Won't disclose the music choice since she hasn't announced it yet plus I have no idea whether the source is reliable or not. But at the very least she is not skating with a pair of headphones on her pretty head! Well, apparently not all the time

I've read in one of Yuna's forums that she is practicing with earphones (not same as headphones?) and a device on her arm on. I didn't see it myself... So I don't know for sure...
Yeah, I've actually read that too. I forget in which article, but she does have earphones because she doesn't want to play the music in the arena. Only she, Orser, Wilson, and her mother know the music.

that is not so unusual. Many young girls at my rink wear ipods on their arms and buds in their ears when skating. I assume so they can pay thier program over and over while not bothering everyone.
I agree. I don't think it's weird at all. If a skater is wanting to practice one part of their program to the music, the most considerate thing for them to do is listen with earphones. Then they can play it 20x in a row if they want without disturbing anyone else's training time.
I see, and thank you and the other poster for the information. So the source seems to be not very reliable after all
(In fact I'm glad. I hope to see her skate to classical music. I adore her "The Lark Ascending" number and want to see a great program along that line)I think your explanation makes a lot of sense, and put in this context, the act of wearing headphones is indeed not weird at all. But I cannot help but think that wearing headphones simply for the sake of keeping one's music choice in secret sounds a little bit ridiculous (IIRC, they said they won't disclose it until the season begins?). What's the point? Almost everyone else has announced her/his music choice....All right, I'm not really complaining. Consider it a love-laden little rant from an impatient fan dying to know her music
Of course she and her team can do whatever they want. I fully respect that and I'm happy :yes:I agree, in another month or so, everyone will have announced their music and be so far into their programs that I doubt anyone will drop everything for a new program choreographed to the same music as Yu-Na, if that's what they're worried about.
I really don't see the point of concealing music choices, except for dramatic effect, but even that seems pointless because it's much more fun to know the music and be able to anticipate the program and imagine the choreography anyway.
I wish someone will post the video of her routine that she is practicing(of course twithout the music), Then may be looking at the Cherography and start guessing the Music - May be we will start a new contest called "Guess the Music Contest"
with winner announced at Trophe Eric Bompard.This may be a better way to pass the summer than all those political rambling going on lately in the post.

Well, you must consider that Yu-Na is a skater but also the most popular person in Korea, and we know how high was the pressure on her in the past season. She's only 18 and a whole nation loves her and waits for any sign from her (a show, an interview or just a commercial) I always wonder how a girl of that age can deal with this and still win gold medals, look confident and happy. We don't know how she really reacts, inside her, to all this crazy attention. After all she's a human being. So...Since she's the first Korean skater to try to catch a gold at the Olympics, the off-season would become even more "crazy" if she talked now about her new programs etc. She has all to be our next gold medalist and it would be a shame to miss this chance because of an enormous pressure. She has to protect herself, I think. And I'm glad she has a smart team who protects her so well. Now, I may sound motherly... but I just want her to be serene

This program looks like absolute disaster.

Plush is going to destroy this excuse for program.

That was really bad, probabily now he knows why people like Joubert, Plushenko needs to be given little more respect and that quad was seriously under rotated. Hope he will watch Ponsero's video to know how it is done

Huh? That program is probably about 4 weeks old. Sure looks really bad to me too
It's also the first time he has tried a quad in competition.

When did Chan show any sign of disrespect toward Plushenko?

Well, at least Chan is trying. I'm not a fan of his and the program bored me, but I appreciate his making the effort to further develop his technical ability. That having been said, the quad did look UR to me, and I didn't see the boatload of transitions I was promised. Re the comparison to Yannick, well, few skaters have a quad as good as his when it's on.
FWIW, I remember some nasty comments in various forums about Joubert's LP after Euros - and it was a brand new program (two weeks) from a skater returning from an injury. People expect more polish from the top guys, and there's a lot of hype around Chan which also adds to that. I'll admit I expected a better program than what I saw, but I figure this was mostly Chan just trying it out to see what needs tinkering and fixing (hint: the music!!!).Huh? That program is probably about 4 weeks old. Sure looks really bad to me too
One could interpret the bit about the programs of the 6.0 era being easier despite the quads as disrespectful towards the skaters who did them - that includes Plush. But I don't recall any specific negative comments made by Chan regarding Plushenko.
BTW, I was amused to see an IN story on Chan in which he referred to Joubert as the Timothy Goebel of the current generation. I'm not sure if that was meant as a positive or a negative. He also said he's excited to compete against Plushy and that it would be cool to meet him.
