2018 Skate Canada Free Dance

[ancientpeas]

In the nicest Canadian way possible Tracy just said she didn't care for Wang/Liu's music.

Ok Rod you don't have to say the Chinese ice dancers are "manufactured" to skate for the Beijing Olympics :disapp:

Not that it's ever appropriate/warranted to use racist tropes like this, but Wang/Liu in particular have so much personality that you have to be pretty dedicated to stereotyping them to bust out that one.

Rude. Shoving an established singles skater like Li Xiangning into a pair feels like manufacturing a team, but Wang and Liu definitely don't fit that bill. They seem to really love what they do.

Ah thank You auser, it is not even for eloquence - it is all about feeling this inspired by them, the words are pouring off me...

Then you have a poetic soul

What did she say?

 

[ancientpeas]

Ah.. skating to Audiobooks deduction imposed by me.

 

[Metis]

So much R&J I’m starting to think about Leo’s podium prospects.

 

[s_parks]

lmao when people skate to talking...

 

[freeman21]

Why was there a -1 for Wang/Liu? Honest question; I'm totally clueless regarding Dance scoring

 

[firal]

Oh no the Leo voiceover...they are so much better than this

 

[DanseMacabre]

He'll win a Grand Prix medal faster than he won an Oscar. HEYOOOOOO.

 

[s_parks]

Sorry H/D, the best R&J program was already skated at this very event...

 

[ancientpeas]

What did she say?

Basically that it was hard to interpret and too relentless without enough changes in rhythm.

 

[kresslia]

These two put me to sleep. I do not get it one bit.

Usually it's an overlong lift.

I had a discussion with my English teacher the year we had to watch Baz’s R&J — we were both Baz fans and we had a laugh over how Claire Danes knew what was up and Leo... was saying a lot of words he didn’t understand. Which sums up my feelings on H/D, actually.

 

[NoNameFace]

With all respect to technical quality in execution, this program and performance felt flat and uninspired comparing to Gilles/Poirier... For me it is just not the same level of depth, nuance, detail in interpretation, expression.

They need the Julllllliiiiieeeeettttt bit.

This is so accurate it hurts.

There was way too much Kissing You in this program.
