Elena Radionova

So you like it now? lol!!!

:biggrin:

Well, now I'm much more optimistic about it, but I still want to see it in costume. I think that she can (and will) express that even more fiercely in a competition:cheer:

She's at her best when it really counts. And that's awesome :party2:
 
Okey, now that I've wached it about seven times, I think that in the first half she's just trying to keep it clean and in the second half she's not self aware anymore, just gets lost in the music and that's when the chills really kick in:eek:

Edit (after 8th time): By the way, the second half is absolutely spectacular:dance:

lolol. I can't stop watching it. The drama :drama: and all the skaters at the boards watching :love:
 
I can't say I'm a fan of the music, but she performs the heck out of it! I love her intensity. However, it just feels more like an exhibition piece...I mean, obviously there is technical content packed into it, but the music just doesn't feel very sophisticated. Oh well, I hope I feel differently about it when she actually starts competing!
 
I'm very confused by the choreography. It doesn't match the music.

The choreography has done a disservice to her. She is capable of much more presentation wise.

Yes, I agree. The program seems like a step backwards for her. I was thinking about going to Worlds since it is in the US this time, but I don't really want to see this program or her SP. I hate to say these things, as I am a huge fan of hers. I'd love to see her work with someone like Nichols, Buttle, or Lambiel.

I think the root of the problem lies with the music choice. There's only so much you can do with that. I don't know why Goncharenko and Lena selected it.
 
Ughh....voice overs AND Celine....Lena, please at lease get rid of the Jack & Rose voice audio. PLEASE.

She is selling the hell out of it though! :dance:

I agree - I also don't understand why there is spoken parts to it. How are you supposed to choreograph to that!?
 
Elena has been added to the competitors for Finlandia. She's going to win some of you over with her programs there.
 
I hate to say this, but have to say that Elena's music choice for her programs this season is a complete failure! Such music just ruined her great talent! :no:

I don't agree. I would glad to see Elena in a style diffrent from the last season's style, i.e. lyrical, drama style. Lena wants to be actress, to create new images and we'll see as she will cope with it. I'm confident in her though

This is not about the style or skin-deep acting on ice, but about the further development of her skating career. My point still stands.

She doesn't need to win me over, I already like her. It's that darn music and those cuts that are horrible.

I'm still scratching my head over why Goncharenko would ask her to skate to this. Why Inna, why? Of all the thousands of OSTs that you could have chosen for her...

Titanic isn't the problem, there are nice pieces of music in the soundtrack. Remember Mariah Bell's Titanic FS? That wasn't bad at all. This music selection is a true nightmare and I also think that she deserves better. I hope that the Russian Fed intervenes. I have no problem with the SP, I think it has potential.
