She already won me over. Doesn't make her FP any less painful :hopelessness: Spoken words should be banned :scowl:

You should see Roman Sadovsky's R&J :hopelessness: this is nothing in comparison.
Except for that, I don't hate them as programs. I just don't like them for her as a skater.

Lena has braces now??!

Maybe THAT'S why she picked such serious/melancholy music...she doesn't want to show her smile...??
See, no more open-mouthed smiling!

As for her programs...
1) I agree with the others--the voiceover has GOT to go!!
2) I involuntarily cringe when I hear "My heart will go on," so I was somewhat relieved that the vocals only come in at the very end. However, I do think that anti-Titanic sentiment is not as strong outside of North America, so this program might be better received in Asia, and possibly Russia too..? Keep in mind that Lena was born at least a year AFTER "Titanic" was released, so she definitely does not have the over-exposure sickness that some of us (like myself) have. Since she said she loves the program, I highly doubt she will change it.
3) I actually really like the song "Je t'aime," but I still don't think it's a great idea for her to have such similar programs.
4) I was quite worried that Lena's skating and jumps would be a mess, since we heard basically nothing about her training during off-season, so I was pleasantly surprised to see that her jumps were reasonably solid (okay, the landings for many were messy, but almost all fully-rotated). I was also really, really impressed by her speed and flow and all the transitions.
5) On the other hand, I was disappointed to see that her posture and use of her arms have not really improved. Her arms are still pretty sloppy (though flung around with passion), but if that is because they were focusing on dealing with puberty, I understand. Indeed, Lena says she's now 163-164cm (about 5'4.5")

Despite the fact that I'm not totally in love with her new programs, I can't help watching them over and over...she's just so engaging as a performer! :agree:
See, everyone else can't take their eyes off of Lena either!

Can't wait to see her at the Finlandia Trophy!

She looks pretty with her braces, she should show them like Sotskova :agree:
I would not mind her practicing during the off season with a dancer like Gleb Savchenko. Somebody who can help her posture and help her control her body movements (arms, etc.). I think her flow across the ice can be better too. But she is young and has time.

She does!
Girl, flaunt it! I hate to quote musicals, but...you're never fully dressed without a smile!
:agree: I like happy Elena better than "trying to be a serious artist" Elena.
New interview with Inna Goncharenko:
http://fsrussia.ru/intervyu/1235-inna-goncharenko-kazhdyj-trener-vystraivaet-svoyu-tsepochku.html
Based on GoogleTranslate, it sounds like Morozov was originally brought in just to help with skating skills, but then he ended up choreographing her programs..?
Sigh...

I got the feeling that no one could have convinced Averbukh to do the choreography for that FS music selection. I think I read a couple of months ago that Averbukh was scheduled to do at least one program for her.New interview with Inna Goncharenko:

perhaps they mixed it with the last season
She had 4 SPs made, it could have been one of them.
Morozov likely replaced Maslennikova.
No, but I think that adelia is correct, he was supposed to do the SP, not the FD.

Finally! Retrieve my account haha ~ I forgot a lot of passwords. It's been so long since I posted, and I really miss this thread
Finlandia! Wow~ is that her first competition this season?
To be honest, I am a bit disappointed with her new programs, based on what she already did in the past seasons, we all know that she can do much better. But I am still looking forward to the competitions, I believe that she'll improve those choreo. And I hope she's serious with 4 SP hehe~ I would love to watch her programs especially if they are different genre and costumes

I think Finlandia will be her first competition this year. I am actually reserving my opinion about her programs until I see them in competition all polished. I just hope she is on this year because I forked over money for Worlds in large part because I want to see Elena.

What a great idea! ˆ
Sad that Elena seems to be WD from Finlandia, I was really looking forward to seeing her there. Hope it's nothing serious.
