Mikhail has lovely lyrical aspects to his skating despite the missed tech elements.

Unfortunately, not for the 4T.

Maybe not so good… but it’s a new day, it’s a new Dawn, for the next jumping pass-

Sihyeong I love you but firstly we must burn this costume and program with fire and secondly you're also a bit of a cactus and those also aren't supposed to grow in Korea.

I love this ABBA song! LOL The original, anyway.

Shame about the fall on the 4T because that was the best that Lee performed that program.

Wow. Wow. Wow. I have never seen such a wonderful interpretation to Sing Sing Sing as Koshiro's. I am blown away, y'all. From the first few seconds, he expressed that music as it should be danced to. And he did dance!

I have abhorred that music for years, especially for figure skaters. And all of a sudden, he turned that topsy-turvy for me!

I agree that he performed it well but I didn't feel much like he was performing to a song that is known for swing dancing. It felt more like he was just performing. I would have liked to see more interpretation for the particular type of music. Also, although the vest, white shirt and pants was a good costume, I wouldn't have used black pleather or whatever that was. I would have done more 1930s style (which is when the song originally came out). I think Jeff Buttle did a pretty good version of this song back in 2005-2006 season.

This tech panel is harsh, I kinda love it.

 

[4everchan]

Lee : great 3a... the combo : i didn't like the edge... oh wait... commentator says it too.. so i guess my untrained eyes are good

guess what? He choreographed this one
(but that costume back then was.. not it)

Good Luck Liam!

I suppose your whole analysis shows pretty well why I like Koshiro's performance so much, since I don't like the music or the usual interpretations of it! I do think Jeff Buttle did wonderful choreography, but I'm so impressed with what Koshiro did with it.
