Jorik Hendrickx‏ will be skating one of his program to a male cover of Je Suis Malade

Given this hint, looks likely to be the SP

The Lara Fabian version is the cover. He possible will use the original.

Didn't these skaters:

Yuzuru Hanyu
Carolina Kostner
Savchenko/Szolkowy
Patrick Chan

All reuse or retool a program for Sochi? And won a medal?
And as mentioned previously, reusing programs has been a successful formula for several other Olympic Medalists over the years.

Like it or not, skaters do it because it can work.
I'm not a huge fan of it myself, but I understand the decision.

In my opinion the decision to reuse a program is always not easy different from skater to skater.

Carolina's FP 2014 was not as good as her bolero. And we all are so glad that the switched back.

S/S's SP 2014 "when winter comes" was also really special. But they tried to catch V/T with changing their Pink Panter FP into a SP. Well the SP was sensational but had no chance against the Russians at home.

Alexei Krasnozhon says he is turning senior...

"Krasnozhon will move up to the senior level nationally, but will remain competing as a junior internationally."

Thanks, I didn't read very closely...lots of other news distracting me right now!

The title was a little misleading.

Yeah the news is crazy right now! I just got back to my desk, work 1 block from Times Square, and always walk there on my break, and just as I was getting back police everywhere. For some reason I decided to walk to Fifth Ave instead of Times Square! *sorry for the off-topic*

 

[cheerknithanson]

Olympic season is gonna be the most boring season.... :hopelessness:
50% warhorse
30% reuse programs
20% new interesting music and programs.

Don't skaters know any better? I mean yes, I know you might love those songs. BUT WARHORSES?! I have the upmost confidence that for the majority of skaters, it's not their favorite music to listen to. I feel like skaters should skate to music that they like to listen to or dance to. Because it'll make it more fun for them. Well okay, some music might not be a good idea, but you get the idea

I feel like skaters should skate to music that they like to listen to or dance to.

Maybe for some of these skaters this is music they like to listen to or dance to. I have a couple of skating warhorses on my spotify playlist.

Of course they know better, they're not small children. Knowing better is why they keep going back to warhorses. It's not their job to skate to whatever you think they should skate to.

He missed out on the big rush of 2014-15, so can't grudge him the chance to sing the 'muuuusiiiic of the niiiight'

 

[WeakAnkles]

O_O. They've got garbage taste in music.

De gustibus non est disputandum.

ETA: Because that kind of comment reveals everything about the person who said it and nothing at all about the person/persons it is said about.

Just saying...

Nothing wrong with the occasional warhorses, it gives a skater a chance to put their own iconic stamp on a piece of music that's often used

Amber Glenn - all choreo Scott Brown
SP: “Fever” (The Heat Version) by Beyoncé
FS: The Red Violin by John Corigliano

I just thought of a potential non-warhorse and catchy SP-music and bumped into a piece called "Elea" from Worakls. The original score lasts 6:37 minutes, so I tried to cut a 2:50-version of it:

Do you think that could work?

Other SP-choices I could imagine:

For the free skate I wish that one day someone is skating to these epic scores from Ivan Torrent, BrunuhVille and Yasuharu Takanashi

Judging by Roberta Rodeghiero's and Lukas Csolley's latest Instagram posts, her new Short is choreographed by Csolley and it's on a song performed by Aretha Franklin (I think Think (Freedom) as they use the hashtag "freedom").

Ivett Toth was in LA this week. She posted "new programmes done". They are done by Benoit Richaud like this year's programs.

 

[RemyRose]

Tatjana Flade reported on FSU that Petrov and Tuktamysheva are getting LP done by Adam Solya (Jorik Hendrickx's choreographer) and Boikova/Kozlovskii were there working on the free program (music not confirmed yet) with Peter Tchernyshev.

Lauriault/LeGac posted their SD on IG:

"How deep is your love" & "September"

https://www.instagram.com/p/BUUMbX_FV7w/

Originally posted on FSU, where the poster noted they did not indicate if they were using the originals or a cover. If they are indeed using Earth Wind & Fire's September, I will die a happy death:hap93: EW&F! Skating! Life is good :agree:

(don't mind the Bee Gees either, but I don't know of any other programs to EW&F. whom, in case you didn't figure it out, I adore ETA: Although kids, the peace sign? September? Not really the same era. That's OK, just bring it!)

I'm happy about this choice for Grant! He does so much better when he connects to a piece of music emotionally and strongly. I think it gives him something else to think about ... bring the music/theme/story alive for the audience, so he allows his body to do what he's trained.
