Except other choreographers used voiceovers before her, like Morozov with Elena's Titanic.
In this case as Kostornaya explained in the interview she likes R&J, in particular the film so that's probably why they added those voiceovers.
For me the music cuts in the second half are a little annoying especially because they are so unnecessary: the music is building up, just keep it the way it is.
Perhaps we could talk about Eteri's obsession on creating a story around each program: it's cool but you don't need to do it every single time. Sometimes i just would like to see these beautiful girls skating to a Rachmaninov / Tchaikovsky's piece.
In the end though i think it's hard to argue about who's to blame, cause you still have to look at the overall picture: Kostornaya's skating skills and speed improved with Eteri, so it's not that they are just picking a finished product and ruining everything, i can see real improvements in these girls. Yes you can recognize an Eteri skater almost immediately but that's not necessarily only a bad thing, artistically they are all good to great.
I wish someone tells Eteri or Daniil that sometimes less is more.
