2015 NHK Free Dance

[Matilda]

Dang! Stasia and Colin were doing sonwell until the twizzles. I really like this program.

Ruffledgrouse: if the Shibs skate super well, I might quite possibly suffer coherence malfunctions again.

Lol, you had me worried there. I was sitting here like, 'Does she have a cat? Did the cat walk of the keyboard?'

 

[Bumdid]

The music is kind of a drab. Definitely a step down from their SA performance for me. And also wow at Reed/Muramoto TES. It's pretty high for someone who just skated together. Marina's team has been bringing it in terms of TES so far.

 

[TontoK]

I liked it OK.

I certainly liked it better than it will score. The twizzle error will hurt. This was a huge step up from the Japanese teams, but they'll probably only edge them in the standings.

 

[Hyena]

Aw, bummer for Colin. I personally still like their program.

I hope this doesn't turn out to be a messy event. No more falls!

 

[auser]

Oh dear, the ice seems a bit more slippery today:eeking:.

 

[WeakAnkles]

That was a cool rotational element at the end, but other than that I don't think this music showcases them the best.

The program is too overwrought and too literal--so it teeters on the edge of unintentionally hilarious.

And I say that as a fan. They're better than the program.

 

[lyndichee]

Gosh I love Penny's dresses, this one and her silver from the Olympics were so pretty.

 

[TontoK]

This program from C/B has a 1980's Soviet feel to it.

I don't think I like it.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

I'm a little sick of this music, but I really like their opening 30 seconds. And the next 30. And the next. Ok, I like this program.

:luv17: And that dress

 

[caitie]

Aw, I really love Penny and Nick's program. I liked it last season too. The tech score doesn't look very good, though...

I really like Colin and Anastasia's program too, but it seems like they are having some issues with it. Fall here, total disaster skate at the Tallinn Trophy...

 

[Scovies]

That is such a cool program. Bravo, Penny and Nick!

 

[Bumdid]

Some of these music just goes on and on...

 

[WeakAnkles]

This program from C/B has a 1980's Soviet feel to it.

I don't think I like it.

It's a pairs program without jumps. Go back and watch it again and see how little they actually DANCE IN HOLD. It's a minuscule amount of time. The program is so open you could drive TWO trucks through it.

 

[Bumdid]

This score is actually really high?

 

[caitie]

This should be interesting... I don't think I've watched Stepanova and Bukin's free dance yet.

 

[Watermelondrea]

Honestly thought this GP would be the best, honestly it's turned out to be the worst... Still enjoyable though!!

Exactly!

They won't be winning any Grand Prixs with it, but it's still fun to watch.

That's a very interesting observation. I'll watch it again on video.

Maybe that's why I am so lukewarm about the whole thing.
