I don’t want to be mean, but I think the singer gave me a migraine

My NBC station isn’t showing the competition.

 

[Minz]

Right, so now we've abandoned Kamila Valieva in favor of Tanith comparing SP scores throughout the season.

My NBC station isn’t showing the competition.

Because it isnt on.

Gracie skated well, but you could see how slow she is across the ice when Starr followed right after. I hope Gracie continues, or at least skates in shows, because tonight's performance was one she can build upon.

My NBC station isn’t showing the competition.

It's on USA.

Good lord, there really is much more to Nashville than country music.

I am nervous for Alysa and Mariah

 

[chasingneverland]

Okay, I just got here but omg Gracie!! I'm crying..

I'm not a crazy Gracie fan but she was underscored by about 10 points!

10 points? LOL she did not deserve 77-78 points.

I think she was a bit hosed on PCS (31 is fine for that skate internationally but Nationals should have been around 33, with the veteran bonus), but not egregiously underscored. Sub-70 is correct, especially with that loop underrotated/q at best.

I also disagree with people being like "But she's Gracie Gold!" C'mon. Skaters should be judged based on their performance on the day, not their performances back in the day. It's not fair to disadvantage skaters who haven't even had 8 years as elite skaters to be put below someone who was an Olympian 8 years ago and hasn't maintained it.

They could at least turn the lights on so the audience can knit or read in their seats!

 

[figureskatingandrainbows]

This is the longest ice resurfacing ever, it's been over twenty minutes

 

[soccerjc77]

Gracie could be 3rd after this SP competition I believe it, only Alysa Liu could skate better in the last group.

 

[lariko]

How long is the break?

 

[RatedPG]

@AlysaLiuStan i have migraine too. Hopefully, this singing doesn’t affect skaters like Alysa and Karen.

 

[Seven Sisters]

I could have cooked another dinner for my kid during this interval, just saying.

 

[Minz]

Who is this singer that everyone is complaining about? They're not being shown on my stream!

 

[anonymoose_au]

Oh we're back!

 

[prorussian fan]

Why are they showing Kamila Valieva's Russian Nationals skate during the US Nationals ice resurfacing on the NBC broadcast?

Because it is the best female figure skating in the world and Americans who did not follow Russian nationals deserve to meet the star who is Kamila Valieva

 

[elliana]

Also why do they resurface when there's only 6 skaters left? Does anyone think Amber would've skated better if she was first to go on the fresh ice?
