2024 NHK Trophy Free Dance

[Seven Sisters]

Choreo several orders of magnitude better than last year’s, in both programs. JMHO

 

[rain]

So I hate the vocals in Green/Parsons's music, but this program finally puts them back on track, I think. The choreography and expression were great.

Didn't love those curve lift positions tbh

i agree.. .especially the second one... it looks very poor taste, especially with how the program opened.

 

[Ichatdelune]

Green/Parsons are both superb skaters, no doubt about that, but like the first time I saw this program I enjoy only the Spiegel im Spiegel part...

 

[Flying Feijoa]

My mother: “oh no, I think this is a great song being ruined by a bad cover. Oh no.”

(I was just glad to move on from Spiegel im Spirgel, that is getting so overused that it makes me cranky)

Same, so many other Arvo Part pieces to use besides that one

 

[auser]

If Green/Parsons meant this as a love song to dance I am all in. So lovely.

 

[skatemd1]

Wow. G/P FD is breathtaking! Love it!

 

[4everchan]

I remember Charlie's hair being more blonde... was he dying it before or is he dying it now ? He'd be good as a silver fox

 

[Seven Sisters]

Hardly a seat to be found in the place, I hear.

Don’t tease Chris like that

 

[jorge2912]

Caroline and Michael Fd was mind blowing

 

[Lamente Ariane]

Same, so many other Arvo Part pieces to use besides that one

My mother added: “I’m going to vomit”

She hates the program so much that I can’t really judge it for myself haha, though ngl I don’t think I’d be too impressed even on my own. Personally? I liked last seasons FD much more.

 

[4everchan]

This is the problem (Green and Parsons) when you come off the gate with an amazing FD in your what ??? first season??? and everyone hypes you up so much... and then.... blank... inspiration lost.. no more.... this one is half good which is a lot better than their Rhapsody in blue dressed in red of some past season...

 

[TallyT]

Well we don't have it often that the guy is so much better dressed than the girl... seriously, even with my hatred of the things that is a spectacularly unflattering tutu! And it's made even worse by the choreo.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Know what this reminds me of? Ilia’s vampire FS, in ice-dance form.

Or, a bad “modern Coppelia.” Take your choice

 

[rain]

I like the beginning of that program, but then they lost me. I thought it got sloppy at the end. They lost the crisp movement necessary.

 

[Weathergal]

OK who has "Didn't put a foot wrong" in their Chris Howarth bingo game?

 

[Flying Feijoa]

I still can't get into this programme. Maybe I'm missing some pop culture reference...

 

[Ichatdelune]

Levels are leveling for R/A today and I'm here for it

I can't really judge the program itself as I'm way, waaaaay too engrossed in watching M. Saulius in his tux and eyeliner but enjoyment's enjoyment

 

[4everchan]

Damn it ! Chris is now on the CBC stream..

 

[Lamente Ariane]

I LOVE this program so much aaaah it makes me want to write
