2018 NHK Free Dance

Hmmm.... this seems like dangerous music to skate to for the Parsons. How are they going to differentiate themselves from P/C when Rachel is dressed almost exactly like Gabrielle?

No one owns music but there are some comparisons you should be smart enough not to invite. This is not wise

Yeah, they at least should have made the outfits significantly different from those of P/C.

 

[ruffledgrouse]

Are the Parsons for real right now with this music???????????

Like, I get it- it's emotional without being romantic, so it's safe for a brother/sister team. But... yeah, it's a dangerous choice for other reasons...

 

[cheerknithanson]

I hope that was enough.

 

[Lota]

Well... you have to be really ballsy and confident to invite such comparisons with this choice of program. Sadly, the comparison is not in their favour hwell:

 

[Mohacz]

Are we sure Michael Parsons and Danny O'Shea aren't brothers? They look the same.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Parsons were lovely. Soft, lyrical, filled with emotion.

 

[GGFan]

Just no Parsons. I like this team just fine but that is one of the most asinine program choices I've ever seen. P/C achieved the sublime with that program. This on the other hand :noshake:

 

[cheerknithanson]

108.14 is the number. Did they do enough?

 

[Mrs. P]

A few balance checks and levels lost but they continue to make improvements in the overall feel and performance of the program. They will probably lose to the Brits in the FD but have enough to get 3rd overall.

 

[Step Sequence4]

I think the choreo in the opening is too cluttered for the slow soft music, but the rest was very good.

 

[WeakAnkles]

By rights that should be a SB for them. That twizzle sequence was huge.

They have a different style from P/C, but yes it was a gutsy of them to do this.

 

[ancientpeas]

It was nice. I preferred the disco brits. Sorry Americans.

 

[Colonel Green]

Five points behind the Brits' TES.

These two should be thankful for Lilah and Lewis' mediocre RD score.

Also, why on Earth did they pick this song? Are they going to do Moulin Rouge next year with the exact same music cuts as Tessa and Scott (a la that pairs team)?

And the year after: Bolero!

 

[cheerknithanson]

Medal!

 

[Ichatdelune]

Go Z/G!

 

[Weathergal]

Not sure I like that angsty posing toward the judges toward the end of their program.
