2025 Skate America Rhythm Dance

Fake Bon Jovi AI track is so bad. The program is so much better in AC/DC part. I think this rock stylization serve them pretty well although Katarina is so intense in her expression I almost get scared of her

I guess I will try to be less grumpy LOL... I am sick... huge sore throat... no fever nor aches... so at least, it's not the flu... but It makes me angry at judging when they don't do what I want

Have a warm cuppa tea with homey...my favorite feel better remedy.

I don't know what to make of that. It seemed a bit messy, but I think that might just have been her hair influencing how it felt. There is something which just kind of made the programme feel a bit fake, and I can't put my finger on what.

It seems the Mrazeks changed the lyrics on the AI-generated portion of their music; hopefully this is enough for them to avoid any copyright situations.

And as always, I love their speed and attack!

AI strikes again...

Hope you feel better soon.

Correct.

Thank you!!

Maybe it's fake music

 

[Demandred]

is it just me but at times, the sound is distorted?

The volume of the music varies randomly on my stream (ISU YouTube) and it is too low in general.

Anyway, good skate by the Mrazeks, but the AI part is still an earsore.

I have to say…it’s just so disappointing to see all those empty seats. Especially during an Olympic season. If I were closer to NY I would totally be there.

I’m glad I can hear Gabby better now. While the Brits were skating, it sounded like she was whispering.

The Mrazeks are improving. Don't like the music because 1) AI and 2) AC/DC vocals are all scratchy but they bring that vibe.

I don't like the fact that the Mrazeks are skating to AI-generated music, but if you're going to skate to it, you may as well skate all-out to it (and let the crowd believe for a moment that it's actual music).

I had lots of tea yesterday... today it's hot porridge and soup... and honey balsam fir drops. and lots of water. I also had some boosters : ginger, turmeric, echinacea

 

[moonvine]

Isn't it hard to go to back to back events, it is Browns too, when time schedule is also that their last competition is on Sunday, then soon to plane and jet lag?

Yes.

There's a big demand for skating in the US, Skate America in Texas had an amazing audience the last two years and Boston Worlds had great attendance, but Lake Placid is just so expensive and inaccessible for the average skating fan in the States, especially with the snowfall they're having this weekend. I know this is a historic venue but I wish they had chosen another location.

It’s understandable though given how very difficult it is to travel to Lake Placid. Also, keep in mind that the US government, the nation’s largest employer, was shutdown for a historic 43 days. A lot of people are really having a hard time making ends meet in this struggling economy. As a federal employee, I know, I missed pay for 3 pay periods (6 weeks) and am hoping to see my backpay next weekend.

At least you have an excuse for being grumpy

 

[4everchan]

well.. I was conflicted because my FAA is playing Alcaraz at the ATP finals.. but so far, it looks like it's going to be a short match (poor Félix). and that way, I won't be multitasking for much longer

For anyone wanting Jean-Luc Baker commenting during the dance practices - a vpn set to USA will get you there. All skaters were shown and his comments were super helpful.
