2023 Grand Prix Espoo Rhythm Dance

[Ares]

I tuned in to watch Ignateva/Szemko. I was so absorbed in some chat on discord that I forgot about the upcoming RD after the previous event. I liked the Hungarian team, but I thought it was ''quite easy'' technically. And the score reflected that as it is not very high, only around 57 points.

Already today we've heard songs called "Lick It" and "Push It." I'm glad I spiked my coffee with rum! I'm going to continue to drink it real good.

I don't know who this is, but it's NOT Salt - N - Pepa.

Same. I didn't realize the Salt n Pepa version was a cover.

 

[Seven Sisters]

the starting section is Sabrina Salerno's Boys (@CaroLiza_fan i'm sure you remember it), they should have stuck with the trashy music

They were pretty trashy throughout, though. Well, trashy mixed with epic, as we did have a bit of Total Eclipse of the Heart

 

[CellarDweller]

Boys-Boys-Boys....Push it real gooooooooooood.

 

[4everchan]

different bad boy style...

 

[Jumping_Bean]

so no Nationals for them ?

JGPF qualification gives them a bye for Nationals, they weren't competing for spots here.

I'm not going to incriminate myself by saying I was watching her only a few weeks ago.

Yuka with a silver 50s swimsuit instead of a corset, think of all the missed chances. Yuka you're bold enough to pull of a real Madonna costume

 

[CellarDweller]

I will say, as a Madonna fan, I've always LOVED this mix of "Like A Prayer".

 

[Seven Sisters]

Come on, you have to love the shot of his silver hand clutching her in the KnC

Also—@Elektra blue—I rest my case, the rips in her tights have to be intentional, as we have them again today. I know a style homage when I see one

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

Ok, so I never recall Madonna wearing ripped tights? Or did I purposely block that out over the years?

 

[elektra blue]

conical boobs, Yuka! conocal boobs!

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

I do too!

I wouldn't describe her costume as "tame", to be honest

 

[Ic3Rabbit]

They just missed a chance to have a great knee slide movement to go with the music. Oh well.

Good for them. Honestly, I wonder if it's possible for Jeffrey to build a positive career... It seems like there are always issues. Not saying it's his fault at all.. Just wondering. Some athletes cannot catch a break. I have been a fan of many of those and I wonder if he is part of that group or if he will turn things around.

I've never seen her in ripped tights.

 

[EdgeCall]

Not bad, but shouldn't they better place Like a Prayer to the end instead of the start? The program has a little trouble picking up steam like this.

First time seeing Orihara/Pirinen. They were alright, but I kept getting distracted by those multiple holes in her tights ... was it deliberate or not?
