2025 JGP Ankara Men's Short Program

[4everchan]

we need a bingo card for music

the middle is usually a freebie... here we could just use Roxanne and it would probably get played anyway

I'm too old for that...

i'm sure your liver is young enough

Is it over? Phewww, that was close! I took off the headphones just in time.

Robert. Nice outfit. A nice debut.

my tummy is hurting... maybe it's from lack of sleep.. maybe it's from losing my sanity in the last few minutes with finding out that Cha is skating to MR and then, live, just like that, hearing it from this skater.

I count so many tragic choices in one post... you are special my friend. I could never write such a post

I hate/dislike/am meh about too many programs across the field because I'm a grouch so I do try to feel affection for our skaters' programs even when I am very much against the choice (like Roxanne... god darling from Balada Para Un Loco to Moulin Rouge with Roxanne you make me scream), and since I'm a hugely biased fangirl I usually manage somewhat. I do find myself forcing my disappointment down a lot this season with our skaters so far but (sigh) it's not like I can choose to not love them this season because I am against their music choices/program composition so

i'm sure Cha's MR is the reason. i can't think of anything else

Lucaz has wonderful long lines, but is too slow to really make these elements and interpretation sing right now.

Here we go with a Schlumbergera

Laudable effort. But the Brazilians still have some way to go ...

I will always love my skaters despite their musical choices... but i still resent these choices with passion.

Lucaz. Nice outfit and program. He has improved, good skate.

@Ichatdelune i cannot believe Cha chose RIYBE and MR... this is a tragedy... and for the Olympics... I am sad.

The former actually has potential based on the steps footage, the latter... well it's my darling and he will elevate it to some degree at least... but yes it is a tragedy and I had to shut up on twitter because all the Junhwan fans (who are not necessarily FS fans) were over the moon with MR for some reason while I was going through the five stages of grief... for crying out loud darling mine I was hoping for something even more mindblowingly good than Loco and you give me Moulin Rouge

maybe he will bring back an old program if MR doesn't work just saying... it has happened in the past

I just had a look at Jun-Hwan's ISU Bio. It says: "Moulin Rouge (soundtrack) by David Bearwald, Kevin Gilbert"

Then I looked at the track listings for the soundtrack. And "Come What May" is the only song written by those two.

So, if he is accurate in his Bio, it looks like we are escaping "Tango De Roxanne".

Fingers crossed!

Sena has some adventurous positions in the air, but he gets it done anyways. Good job!
