OK, so I was sitting working at my laptop and this awful musical was on TV. I was too absorbed in what I was doing so I didn't change the channel. And then this song came..."This is me". I recognised this! It's Talalaikina's free program music before Maleficent! Turns out it is from the musical "The Greatest Showman", which I didn't know as I know nothing about musicals. It also turns out this song won a Golden Globe and was nominated for an Academy Award! That is horrifying! The song is beyond cheesy...

Yes, by Natalia Osipova, one of my favorites. See flanker's post from Kamila's fan fest:

I don't even have to know specifically which song you mean because I found them all cheesy
Well, I should have changed the channel, because now I suffer from having all this horrendous songs in my head. Can't stand musicals I'm afraid.I looooooooooove your post
I have to admit though, that I can sing-a-long to every song of "Sound of Music", which is scary.
"I am sixteen, going on seventeen, I know that I'm naive..." tra-li-la...
It's not scary that you have taste!

Can you yodel The Lonely Goatherd?
No, I don't think that is taste. It is just indoctrination.It's not scary that you have taste!
Sure can! But I don't think you want to hear it...

Awwww, I love the music from The Greatest Showman.
Oh, the horror....but wait! That might work! I can see see her doing her quads to "The hills are alive..."I want a Sound of Music program from Shcherbakova
Next season's a bit too late to skate to "16 Going on 17" though
I do think she'd be appropriately sweet for this musical though, haha.

Well I think the program as a whole is rather empty but the step sequence is absolutely gorgeous and no one can convince me otherwise. The steps are unique, and when she does it well (in the practice videos) she has great speed, flow and refinement. But my main point are is you can't really say "it's bad". I used to make these kinds of mistakes in which I just assumed my opinion was the opinion but it isn't. You might think it's bad, but I don't think it's bad by any means. So to say "the choreography is bad" in a factual form is incorrect.
LoL! Overhyped and oversold, if you like. No comparison to "Girl on a Ball" piece (sorry, don't know who choreographed it), which is full of genuine poetry.
I thought none of Aliona's four programs was really bad and while they lacked some wow factor, I think she presented them all beautifully, but she certainly had some stamina problems.
Many people said they were too empty, but I don't think busy programs are the one and only approach to high PCS. Carolina Kostner never had those crazy transitions and still she had the highest PCS, whether you agree with this or not. Same applies to Osmond I think.

Osmond had transitions, pretty hard ones too before injury. Kostner did too, actually, in the SPs. The LPs were... well.

I disliked "Girl on a Ball". Everyone was proclaiming how incredible it was, but I just saw a thousand leg extensions. Although most people and judges didn't agree.
Her SP this season before the 3A was added is absolutely perfect to me and 1000 times better, but I'm sure there aren't many that share my opinion.
These subjective discussions are truly impossible. One thing I do believe though is that making good SPs are way easier than FSs.
