I don't have a particular opinion about the program. It's one of my favourite programs because of the drama. But, a lot of people didn't think it was appropriate and I can see that.
If we're going by what she portrayed, it wasn't about terrorist attacks at all, her team's explanation was that it's about "tragedy and uncertainty in today's world". One must think that it was One more program that portrayed a part of Eteri's life. WE a tribute to her daughter, and the 9/11 program about the terrorist attacks she lived through when she was in the US, but I don't remember in which place.
Yeah fair enough, but I could have done without the voice-overs--unnecessary and for those of us who were in NYC or DC, way too soon.

Oh, she does thrive. Absolutely. So relaxed, so happy. She deserves this. And I think it‘s fascinating. She literally makes friends wherever she goes and so many international skaters who have worked or trained with her talk about what a great personality she has. I bet she is fun to be around.

I'm sorry, but if you use voiceovers from 9/11, then the program is about 9/11. Period. If they didn't want it to be about 9/11, they shouldn't have had voiceovers.
The program didn't offend me personally, but it's an incredibly sensitive subject, especially for Americans, and it's very understandable that people found it to be in bad taste. And that's not Zhenya's fault, but people don't need to get so defensive about it. People having a problem with it were being perfectly reasonable.

As an almost brand new Zhenya fan, (as of her move, for reasons some of you know
), this explains it well.I am a retired federal employee and I had friends in Oklahoma City, and in the federal building, at the time of that attack. Oklahoma City is where Eteri was in 1995. For an American, that attack in no way shape or form is the same as 9/11. Specifically using a 9/11 program, for an American, does not bring to mind all terrorism everywhere in the world. It brings to mind 9/11. And the voiceovers were creepy.
This is no way is an attack on Zhenya. She skated the choreography she was given, and she skated her heart out with it. But it is not my fav Zhenya program in any way. If she is using Averbukh for a program, and that's who she wants, then good for her
I hope it's Muse, because that is generic and won't fall into the specificity I didn't like in this particular program.But what we will wait and we will see.:yes:

It´s a sensitive topic but people do get so defensive because they liked her 9/11 programm. It´s not about if some other people found it "to be in bad taste" or that people are not "reasonable"
