2025 Skate America Men's Free Skate

This piece always makes me thinking of a singing whale... which makes it hard to take the tragedy seriously.

That said, I thought Corey did well :)
 
Circelli looks like Memola while he’s skating. And he ended his program the same way. How original.
 
This is going to be some night, I feel like I need alcohol :dbana:

I wonder what's the story with Corey's free program, with the bloody hands and eye makeup and all 😅
Canio (il Pagliaccio) kills his unfaithful wife. The famous aria says: put on your clothes and make-up, people want you to make them laugh, Laugh, clown, on your lost love, etc.

Edit. I'll put the lyrics, since we're killing time.

Vesti la giubba e la faccia infarina
Put your jacket on and powder your face
La gente paga e rider vuole qua
People are paying and they want to laugh
E se Arlecchin t'invola Colombina
And if Arlecchino steals Colombina away from you
Ridi, pagliaccio, e ognun applaudirà
Laugh, clown, and everybody will clap
Tramuta in lazzi lo spasmo ed il pianto
Turn your sorrow and crying into jokes
In una smorfia il singhiozzo e il dolor
Your sob and grief into a grimace
Ridi, Pagliaccio, sul tuo amore infranto
Laugh, Clown, over your broken love
Ridi del duol che t'avvelena il cor!
Laugh of the sorrow that poisons your heart!

So not only did Corey kill the TES box, he also killed the entire judging system. I'm assuming Vladimir Litvinsev also helped, he too has a lot of blood on his shirt. These guys aren't very good at getting away with murder, the least they could have done is wash their shirt and hands, but I do support their attempts to reform the ISU.
 
I am not a fan of Paggliacci, except Canio's aria, but one has to sing it well, it's really strong. It's an abusive opera otherwise, in a way it's worse than Salome that was sensored, Salome is at least is cinical. Corey's program is of course: here I do StSq because I have to and at the climax I do something for the judges. We are going to hear it again today?
 
Me: (Watching men's event.)

Spouse: (Who happens to be male, passing by the TV.) "You know the story of Pagliacci, right? Jealous of his wife and kills her. So it's her blood on the sleeve of this costume."

Technically Nedda's and Silvio's, but still. Good point.
 
...for this possibly disastrous men's event, we have:

  1. tall Italian cactus no. 1, skating to Pagliacci
  2. mini Han Yan with a very nice music choice by Ezio Bosso that is NOT Rain in Your Warhorse Eyes
  3. Luc going from Kanye rap to Claire de lune (and it's regular Claire de lune! no techno to be found!)
  4. Dragonheart from Liam (should also be very nice)
  5. tall Italian cactus no. 2 with Scheherazade
  6. Manbun man skating to THE craziest Joker program ever, featuring Frank Sinata, smoking, and more finger guns
  7. Cactus japonia no. 1, also skating to Pagliacci
  8. Jason (whom I love dearly but is skating to music that sounds like it was recorded at gunpoint)
  9. tall Italian cactus no. 3 who is also the Pope
  10. Kazakh quadster with Spooky Alien Arms™
  11. and then Kevin's Bolero program

This is going to be some night, I feel like I need alcohol :dbana:
No Claire de Lun….i will poke out my eardrums..
