+5.00 GOE for costumes

-5.00 GOE for the voice overs and this...song?

This is why I love to watch ice dance. I get to see creative dances back to back with different visions. Lovely dance from G/P despite the slight stumble.

The song Loving You is from Sondheim's slightly controversial musical Passion. Now, it would be fascinating if someone ACTUALLY skated to Passion, and had the girl wearing ugly makeup looking hideous. The musical is about a creepy ugly woman who falls in love with a handsome officer, and eventually the officer does fall in love with her. I love this song, but it no longer has the original meaning of the song anymore.

I really like Gr/Par FD this year; guess I'm in the minority.

I like it, too. It isn't as innovative as their Graham program, but I do like it.

 

[4everchan]

This should fall behind.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

I'm sorry, but I found that incredibly snoozy. I hated the music, especially the voiceovers - very one-note and lacking in dynamic contrast. They skated reasonably well, but I think that they will drop in the standings.

Oh it was Barbara Streisand... Well, I hate to break it to you, Barbara but you cannot sing...at least with those songs.

Chris disagrees with me hugely though!

 

[NanaPat]

I see they haven't changed Jason's costume.

@elektra blue

What is he? A strange-looking fish?

Is anybody a bit disturbed by the lyrics to Loving You? I’d never heard them before and they sound like the words of an unhealthy, infatuated couple. What an odd choice.

Seriously, every time that I see Laurence's abs, I am so envious!!

It's from the musical Passion, and you are very perceptive, as this song is intended to make you feel uncomfortable. Which would be why it would be fascinating if a team actually portrayed the story of the musical, instead of this sappy romantic version.

Whoo P Squared!

So disappointed for Caroline and Michael. There are so many nuances to this program; they are not flashy but technically very sound and so soulful in their interpretation. I like Marie-Jade and Romain's corpse bride but it's alot of flash and clever tricks but not in a competition, imo. I think Michael and Caroline were hurt skating right after them because those that like the schtik are not going to be as enthusiastic to a more refined dance. Or are the judges thinking, too many US teams, somebody's gotta go.

So based on the result, Komatsubara and Koleto will represent Japan in ID at WC (with Yoshida/Morita as 1st sub).

Well that's awkward...it's like Every Breath You Take in that sense then?

Man, you'd think the choreographers would actually listen to the lyrics closely!
