2014 Skate America Men's SP 10/24

[Cyn]

Jeremy's music:

Lay Me Down by Sam Smith, James Napier, Elvin Smith

*****

As usual, I'm as nervous as a cat in a room full of rocking chairs for him.

ETA: Apparently Jeremy and Evan Bates got a 2-for-1 on facial hair this season.

 

[silverfoxes]

Considering the long break he had in training this year, he's doing great. I think next season he will be amazing.

 

[invisiblespiral]

I am really nervous right now.

 

[Meoima]

Jeremy, your music and your costume don't go together.

I think Nam and Aidan are both super adorable. But I do think Aidan maybe has more long term potential. Nam's jumps are still really small, the toe-axel is better, but it could be a problem in the future. I'm hoping as he fills out, his jumps will get bigger, but if they don't, he might wind up like Kevin Reynolds. Being a beanpole doesn't seem to hurt Pitkeev's jumps at all, they're huge! Reminds me a bit of Brezina as a teenager. Also I think Pitkeev's PCS should have been a bit higher than Nam's, not lower. Nam can perform but Pitkeev has way better basics.

Also I like Chafik. His costume was like an Ode to Joubert and so was that sick 4t-3t! I think he was a bit hosed scorewise.

Good lord....the quality of Jeremy's skating compared to every skater prior to him is light years ahead in quality.

Glad to see it seems like he's having a blast out there and doesn't look like he's about to hurl.

I decided to not watch any of Abbott's jumps. I think that was a good idea.

 

[TMC]

Did Jeremy Abbott just come straight from the office?

Straight from an office in the 1970s

Jeremy, your music and your costume don't go together.

OMG, that styling is TERRIBLE.

What on earth is he thinking?!

 

[coolboogie22]

Jeremy isn't my cup of tea, but he manage to make me dislike his skating even more with this music and costume

:agree:

Real choreography. A real connection between music and moves.

Big sigh.

 

[Scovies]

ARRRGGG. My icenetwork feed went on the fritz for Jeremy's entire program. He seems happy -- did he land everything?

 

[Doggygirl]

I could watch Jeremy just skate around to any random music all day. I think the entire arena holds its collective breath during the jumps. Hung on with one turn out. Beautiful program.

 

[StitchMonkey]

Jeremy's costumes looks like what you would see a drunk guy wear to karaoke of the song he skated to.

 

[silverfoxes]

Too much flailing and the facial hair is not flattering to say the least.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Good skate by Jeremy, but I really wasn't feeling the music. His movements could have been to a completely different song. Plus, the 'facial hair' is just cringeworthy. :disapp:

 

[oleada]

Jeremy, your music and your costume don't go together.

What, it wasn't about a young Mormon finding gay love on his mission trip? Because that's what I got out of it :lol:

 

[Cyn]

81.82 for Jeremy. Good.

 

[Meoima]

Yuka Sato is more beautiful and elegant than ever!

 

[Blades of Passion]

Jeremy really needs to change that packaging.
