Choreo by Lori Nichol
What are you saying - she doesn't ask the skater if they even want to skate to a certain piece of music?Shae Lynn sure loves those old work horses. Surely she could have come up with something newer for Jun Wha/
I would think a lot depends on the skater. ShaeLynn choreographs for Ilia Malinin, and I think he chose both Running and Not a Vampire last season. Now whether SLB presented an array of options or helped him choose the best for him... I don't know that.What I'm saying is, for an elite skater like Jun and an elite choreographer like ShaeLynn, I guess I expect music that's a little more creative and not overused by other elite skaters. Just my opinion. I don't know - and you probably don't know - if Jun wanted that music....or how many skaters get a vote in the music they're skating to.
I remember from a PJ Kwong interview with Shae Lynn that for her cooperation with Yuzuru Hanyu she sent him a list of 5 or 6 pieces to choose from, and in response he sent her "Seimei" with a message: "This is what I want to skate to" .What I'm saying is, for an elite skater like Jun and an elite choreographer like ShaeLynn, I guess I expect music that's a little more creative and not overused by other elite skaters.

Thank you for providing this information, which I didn't know. It's very interesting and pertinent to the discussion.I remember from a PJ Kwong interview with Shae Lynn that for her cooperation with Yuzuru Hanyu she sent him a list of 5 or 6 pieces to choose from, and in response he sent her "Seimei" with a message: "This is what I want to skate to" .
And Seimei it was, as we all know.
Similarly, David Wilson confided it was Yuzuru who would write him a - very polite and passionate - letter stating he wanted to skate to Romeo and Juliet, and it was before his first OGM, so clearly it was not about his star position but just about him knowing what he wanted, even as a teen. OTOH, Parisienne Walkways and Chopin were offered to him and he just accepted. So I guess, it varies even with the same skater. I guess, whichever way, if the skater really dislikes the music, they can say "no" (at least when they are not juniors any more in which case I think artistic freedom is much more limited). With elite skaters, in most cases I'd expect they have at least a say in it.
The latest scandal is that Personal Jesus was released as a single in 1989, which technically does not meet the criteria for the short dance.Guillaume and Laurence will do voguing to Depeche Mode in their SD. Announced on Instagram.
Deanna and Max will skate their free to Spanish music by Vicente Amigo; no info on which pieces they are using, it just said "Poeta"
I knowHe has a few...
Spotify gave me a few hits for "Vicente Amigo Poeta". We'll know more next week I guess You know, this SP will remain iconic whether some people liked Oxygène or not.. The song itself was a huge hit in Québec and remains extremely popular. The artist, Diane Dufresne, has received many awards. It was a perfect choice for home worlds in Montreal.And how refreshing to see Deanna and Maxim skate to music that doesn't involve deep breathing![]()
