2023-24 Programs by Discipline

Wow, Luc Economides' music is, um, a choice. The next Kanye song I listen to will be the first Kanye song I listen to, although evidently he samples a Gospel tune here, and that I will be happy to look up.

Can Ye fans tell me: is the song meant to be as religious as the lyrics on my screen indicate? This isn't Ave Maria where no one really thinks about the source.

But as my friend @TontoK said, I agree, points for originality.
 
Not being a particular V/M fan (I know, heresy), I looked this up, but sadly it was a mishmash of Prince songs, not just "Kiss".

I am hoping beyond hope that Yaro does just Kiss. I agree, if it is a mishmash, and if it includes "Question of U", it's been done. Just Kiss. Not so much 😘

But I am eagerly awaiting Nikita's Trammps program, even if it is not because someone actually knew what songs were popular in the 70s but because it's being used in some movie/TV show I'll never see. ;) I'll still take it.
It is just Kiss, no mishmash 😘 ...Enjoy!
 
Flores/ Desyatov have shared the second part of their new season RD (they shared the Def Leppard first part last week). The second part is to Prince's When Doves Cry (the recorded version, which is copyrighted). The clip they shared on Instagram is to the live version, filmed by Jordan Cowan of OIP when he visited the WASA rink some weeks ago. So, @surimi, or @gsk8, or whoever handles, can you add the additional music selection to F/D's program notes. Thanks!


Update on their gofundme to secure Vanya's release: It has been going well -- currently, they need $7,685 to reach their goal! They both deserve to compete together internationally this season. They have been working so hard, and they are an excellent ice dance team. ✨

Check out their GS FanFest thread or their Instagrams for the link to their gofundme page in their bios.

IDK if this has been mentioned yet but

Carolane Soucisse / Shane Firus (IRL)
RD: "Super Freak," "Give It To Me Baby," and "Mary Jane" by Rick James


I'm a little amused while confused here since the song Mary Jane is from 1978. The other two are singles from the 80s.
 
Goldenskate gives more details including on the music and choreographic inspiration


‘She just debuted her new routine, “Americano” by Lady Gaga, at Dreams on Ice this weekend in Yokohama, Japan. The violin portion was written and performed by Judy Kang (Lady Gaga’s violinist) specifically for Shimada.’
 
This won't happen this season, but does anyone remember Kailani Craine skating to Gangster's Paradise? :) :)

I'm sure there will be a lot of Swan Lakes though. It is now my nemesis, just like Tango de Roxanne and Papa Can You Hear Me.

There's a bunch of very boring choices. :dbana:
Not sure about Kaori's program either, could become something like last year. :confused:
Sota's programs look the best among these to me. Chameleon is a bit more inspired of a choice and at least I do like Muse.
Phew.

And nothing against Céline, I like especially some of her French songs, but To love you more?

Guys, guys, come on...
