2015 Nebelhorn Trophy General Chat

I looked up the song Jorix was skating to and what did I find but a video of a bulldog "singing" it. What even...

You can't say something like that and not post it!

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

"You wake me up too early in the morning..."

Except it's nearly 9pm here. So, perhaps karne or some of our other Aussie members could sing it...

Not bad, Jorick.

Is that a cover of "Hot Summer" in the background of the highlights? It didn't sound like Monrose!

I have to admit, I liked the commentator mentioning that he needs the minimum TES for this short. That is something that I don't mind being added, it gives some context.

I like this Julian's pizzaz, but he seems much slower than the others.... and that is the most waiter-y of waiter shirts. Not well fitted.

*crosses fingers* YES! MIN TES!

I LOVE the commentator. Why can't we have someone like her for NBC?

Oh, for goodness sake!

Here is the most emotional performance of that song I have ever heard, as performed by the original singer (Brian Kennedy):

Whoever chose to play S-Club 7 is a genius.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Got a massive shock there - Conor is now 22!!! I thought he was around 18 or 19!

Just shows how time is flying.

Speaking of time flying - "S Club Party" on in the background. Would you believe that was 1999???!!

They're making Conor wait a long time for the scores. Must be a lot of marginal things.

Knew that wasn't a good sign. He's gone into last position. :disapp:

Well, at least that means that the only way he can go tomorrow is up!

Well it wasn't a knock out but the top two men did deliver personal bests!

 

[QuadThrow]

That is hard for the swedish guy... the Music reminds me of shen/zhao 2002 and savchenko/szolkowy 2013...

Maybe he wants to become a part of this row.

 

[Violet Bliss]

Well it wasn't a knock out but the top two men did deliver personal bests!

They both should be very proud and encouraged to have beaten the likes of Menshov, Brezina, Amodio and Liebers. Hope they can carry the spirits on to the bigger events to come in the season.

 

[QuadThrow]

Btw. Biggest respect again for florent and Peter for choosing modern Pop Music. ... I love this style even if they are sometimes not rewarded for this.

Thank you.
