2015-2016 Programs by Discipline

[OS]

Why doesn't Patrick skate to some psycho stalker music? He already has the crazy eyes for easy interpretation.

He doesn't need the PCS

But.....

Correct me if I'm wrong here but isn't Mack the Knife actually about a psycho stalking serial killer

Because he wants to challenge himself - unlike what he thinks his competitors are doing.

 

[Alchamei]

There are six Romeo & Juliets, though at least four different versions.

Really? I haven't really noticed that, maybe not so known skaters use it? I can recall Han Yan and MCM, who are the others?

He's a genius, both challenging and not challenging himself, doing a psycho song and a jazz standard!

Man that guy is a straight up ogre, more layers than an onion.

Ekaterina Bobrova and Dmitry Soloviev are using a piece from Prokofiev in their short dance.

Has anyone heard anything about Ashley's sp..? I almost hope she also does a tango and we get a true matchup between her and Gracie Although I would also really like her to do something a little darker/heavier/impactful this season. Last seasons short did absolutely nothing for me.

Bazarova and Deputat
SP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-fktqoO2b8E Chopin - Nocturne, Op. 9 No. 2 in E-Flat Major - not final decision
FP http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUQB3jZDeSU Beatles mix

 

[MaxSwagg]

If I were a judge and Patrick were skating a program like that and looked at me with his crazy eyes, I don't think I could take it. I'm sorry, Patrick.

 

[rollerblade]

Can you take it if Scott look at you with that pouty face? Maybe during a lift?

...no.

 

[Ice Dance]

Yes, along with Bobrova & Soloviev (whom someone else mentioned above), the other three are less well known:

Shu Nakamura, Pogrebinsky & Benoit, and Efimova & MacMillan

I don't think it's unusual that there are a higher percentage of warhorses among lesser known or younger skaters (due to the expense of cutting new music). Likewise, I don't think it's surprising that three of these teams are ice dancers. I always find it a bit odd when Romeo & Juliet is skated without either Romeo or Juliet.

[WeakAnkles]

He's a genius, both challenging and not challenging himself, doing a psycho song and a jazz standard!

The jazz standard is, for Mr Chan, a bit standard. But Mack the Knife is a surprise. A good deal depends on which version he uses--and there are plenty of them. Too bad he won't be skating to Ella Fitzgerald's live version where she forgot the lyrics and improvised them for half the song. Sheer genius.

I think I saw it mentioned under his training video that it's the Michael Buble version. Though there is no question that Ella Fitzerald'd improvisation had way more character than Buble's.

Shocked I'm not the only one who noticed that...I first saw it during the Sochi gala, when he had to speak for the crowd, and his expression was rather crazed. A program where he played a psycho? NO! I would not sleep for weeks! I'm so sorry Patrick, it's just a thing you do...

Alla Loboda and Pavel Drozd will use Chopin- Waltz no 10 for their Short and music from the movie The Devil's Violinist for the Free.

Buble´s version is rather unfortunate choice, IMO. Why did Chan not choose that by Bobby Darin:
