I really like Browning. Maybe it would be right to say, that he has the most versatile elements inside his (Browning's) style. But I'd say his style, his behaviour are not changing much. Usually I have a feeling, that I see a gentleman (and also a showman), when I see Browning. Even in his funny programs he looks like a sort of a gentleman. Like Chaplin. (Though I don't mean, that he moves like Chaplin.)
I really like many of his "gentleman" programs, but I want to show 2 his videos, about which I can't say, that I see a gentleman.
"Summertime" (!!!)

I really like! But... even here I feel, that he remains a showman, a performer, and the style is nearly the same...
As for Yagudin... he is a unique creature. It seems he doesn't remember, that he is a performer in a show. His energy is just mad. He has no age. He can change the way he moves. And... he moves like the water. Like a character from an animated movie, as if his body isn't real. Yagudin doesn't need to perform the movements, music just carries him...
Often I have nearly the same feeling about Browning (Summertime!). Amazingly musical... But soon some Browning's movement reminds me, that his body is real.
Anyway, Browning is great. And his technical versatility is really amazing.

I am not sad. Yagudin has enough medals (WCh: year by year). We've seen his quads. Even though he also jumped other quads, which he never jumped at competitions. Somebody else will show quads.
