I've read the article and I know what Mariah says about the Lady Gaga program and a tribute to vogueing, etc.

But I am still afraid her short programs are becoming too one-note. And a Denali Foxx reprise, essentially (I know also, I read the article, with Denali's full cooperation). I am not optimistic. I hope she pulls it off.

The LP could play to her strengths.

Have you listened to Chromatica? It has a couple of really beautiful instrumental interludes (Chromatica I, II and III). It sounds like Mariah will be using some of that, in addition to the upbeat part.

No, I do not know much of Lady Gaga's work, although she does have some ballads and she has a lovely voice. So maybe it won't be as much "back to the future" as I feared.

Mariah Bell USA:

SP: Music from Chromatica by Lady Gaga
Choreography by Cordero Zuckerman

FP: Both Sides Now by Joni Mitchell
Choreography by Shae-Lynn Bourne

I know that imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, but I dislike when we get a successful innovative program (like Paul and Piper's) that breaks new artistic ground, and immediately that music is picked by others.

I'm sure it's not REALLY the case, but to me it feels like the skaters hang back and wait for someone else to do the heavy lifting, and then try to swoop in and coast off their efforts.

This seems a bit harsh to me, particularly since frankly I don’t think Piper and Paul’s Both Sides Now was all that innovative and different- their Hitchcock and Disco Inferno programs, yes, arguably Starry Starry Night, but not that one. Just because it’s not a piece other skaters have touched before doesn’t make it automatically an innovation IMO, nor does that make the second person to use it some sort of scavenger. I’m sure Mariah and Shae -Lynn Bourne have their own vision for the music and I can easily see how they’d think it was a reasonable next step from her Hallelujah program, just as Piper and Paul used it as the next step after Starry Starry Night. If anything, I think the negative response to the ABBA program has probably made Mariah’s team wary of being too experimental in the free, though I will point out she’s trying something different in the short.

I remember seeing Kevin Amoz doing his Lighthouse programme for the first time and thinking 'oh no, that's a signature programme from Aljona/Bruno but he took his very own take on it (besides being a single's skater which is different in any case) and it was so good. I was slightly less enthusiastic about Ginevra Negrello's take on La Terre Vue du Ciel which obviously was also an iconic programme from Aljona/Bruno but it didn't give me a copy cat feeling either. I would probably think differently when another pair uses that particular piece of music. But I've been in favour of skaters making use of Armand Amar's music ever since!

Perhaps it was harsh - my opinions can be sometimes. And perhaps I conflated "music not a warhorse" with "innovative."

And her choosing to skate to this piece one year after Piper and Paul had success might just be a coincidence. Or, it being an Olympic season, maybe she has been saving this music for years, similarly to how other skaters "save" music for the Olympics. I doubt that's the case, but stranger things have happened.
