2021-2022 Programs by Discipline

[jenaj]

So we have Eunsoo doing Tango de Roxanne, You Young doing Les Miserables and Haein doing Homage to Korea. Anyone up for Concerto in D? You're not really helping dispel the idea of Meagan Duhamel saying all the Korean girls are just copies of Kim Yuna

Homage to Korea is the only one that hasn't been done by many other skaters besides Yuna.

Ahsun Yun KOR
SP: "Smells Like Teen Spirit"
FS: 'The Mummy' soundtrack

Wow, I just noticed this sp selection. I'm not familiar with Ahsun Yun, but the Nirvana music selection should be quite interesting. Is Ahsun a junior skater?

Former skater, Scott Williams (who briefly coached Michelle Kwan before she hooked up with Raf), famously skated to Smells Like Teen Spirit, as a pro skater in the 1990s. Williams was a very good eligible skater (a contemporary of Brian Boitano), but his career really took off in professional competitions, which proliferated during the 1990s, and were a boon for many skaters, post their eligible careers. That's one reason why it's a shame there are no longer many pro competitions for veterans who retire from eligible competition.

Williams often worked with the amazing and very creative choreographer, Brian Wright, in crafting his pro performances. I wonder whether Ahsun has seen and was possibly inspired by Williams' pro performance to the Nirvana music. Here it is, from 1998: (Williams is known for his amazing barrel rolls)

1998 COI Williams2 SLTS

Scott Williams out of the box.

And the below performance to Truly Madly Deeply, is one of my top favorites from Scott Williams, also choreographed by Brian Wright:

Here is another very creative performance by Scott Williams, to Talking Heads, Slippery People, choreographed by the inimitable, Christopher Dean:

She is in the junior GP circuit this season. It is a piano version of the song which has some of the aggression of the original, but is mostly a fairly predictable classicizing version of a rock song. She skates it as if it was classical music.

[dorispulaski]

Huang & Wang skating to the Lone Ranger soundtrack brings up some very odd possibilities. The only two cast members that lift each other, even metaphorically, are the horses Silver and Scout.


Is the Huang going to play the part of Silver or the Lone Ranger? Is Wang going to be Tonto or the Lone Ranger?

“Mais Je T'aime" by Grand Corps Malade

I humbly suggest that those of us who frequent the competition threads should from now on be known as the “Grand Corps Malade.”

Who’s with me?

 

[dorispulaski]

AFAIR The last couple to skate to Grand Corps Malade, Blanc & Bouquet, had an FD to Grand Corps Malade's "Chercher d'Or." The team was required by the French Fed to change FD's after Nationals.

Here it is. indeed.

You know what, though? I’d rather watch that—being full of the wonderful weirdness that characterizes French ice dance—than some of the boring paint-by-numbers stuff that is out there these days. I was thoroughly entertained, if nothing else!

 

[dorispulaski]

As you can see, it was memorable.

Oh, I mean, I was also totally judging a book by its cover... French guy "slam poetry" could have been a lot worse
