I cannot get my eyes off this beautiful program. The music is in my ears all das and I downloaded the soundtrack today. Just lovely! It´s a piece of art...
 
Can't believe she has grown artistically that much in 2 months! And it doesn't even take an expert to see it! Zhenya I'm so proud TT^TT
 
Today the Queen of ice - Evgenia Medvedeva has replaced ice with studio, did a cover of the March issue "Topbeauty". Without fatigue shadow, after the European championship race..... Gentle and vigorous smile of the beauty. The ice arena , ballet class, 2 hours "about everything", - a make-up, hair, an interview.... Everything has turned out! We will hold "fists" for a victory at the Olympic Games. Zhenka only on TopBeauty cover! We have made it!!!! Pantene/P&G thanks, are able to choose ambassador!

TAT's "We believe in you, the whole country believes in you" really touched me - that's just what I feel. She has really already become a legend of the sport - in Russia at the very least.

TAT really found the right words for Zhenya in order to encourage her not to lose her sparkle. I think it is really important to remind her that the whole country is behind her back and that they support her, especially when hard times come. She loves Russia and is proud to represent it. You could tell that from her enthusiasm at the medal ceremony. Although she was 2nd, there she really stood out for me. It is not just her sportsmanship, it's the whole package - she does carry the winner mindset and attitude.

And regarding her gala - as I said before, it is magnificent. It is also full of layers in terms of interpretation. Many people (me inclusive) perceived it as a performance about her feelings at times when she has to fight for what she believes. But I was wondering if it also had something to do with the Olys ban and showing some kind of a protest.

As a soundtrack to a film about the war, performed by Gagarina (and especially in that translation), it sounds as a song specifically about a war. In fact, originally it is much less explicit and more metaphorical.

Any professional artist who's never been in a war but trying to write or sing about it, sounds false. Instead, those who've been, usually don't talk much about it, their poetry only expresses certain subtle feelings, their singing is aloof and sentimental. Viktor Tsoi has never been in Afghanistan or in the army at all, but I would never guess it from his songs - he was a genius, he was among the greatest Russian poets of the XX century. I've never seen people having fought in a war (including myself), who wouldn't feel a deep connection to his songs.

And that's only one of the aspects of Tsoi's music. Nominally, he belonged to the underground, even Wikipedia describes his music as punk rock; but I've seen very different people - from villagers to businessmen - by the will of fate gathered around a campfire with a guitar, and everyone knew Tsoi's songs and sang them. I don't know whether it would be a correct comparison, but I see Bob Dylan as his American counterpart.

Viktor Tsoi died in 1990 in a car accident (outliving the members of the 27 Club by 2 months), but he will always live in our hearts.

P.S. As for Gagarina, she has a beautiful and passionate voice that expresses well what people feel inside from this song.
 
Tarasova citation about Zhenya from EC:
"There are different types of champions: the champions and the great champions. I think she is the great".

"She's fought so hard, it's so incredible"
"This kid has impressed me so much because even though she's young and this (Alina's score) is a new situation for her, she has delivered a phenomenal program"

Something like that! Not fluent in Spanish but it's similar enough to Italian that I think I understood most of it ;)

It's pretty much it :) They were very impressed because of how hard she fought even if she was under pressure, which is new for her. They say the program is wonderful and you really couldn't ask for more from her. That her jumps were a bit tight but her skating is wonderful and elegant. They say Zhenya probably knew after she finished that she wouldn't win tho :(
 
Specifically, before she started they said:
"She has been the queen for the last two years. Queen of Europe. Queen of the world. Queen of everything she has participated. And never, with 18 years, after she has overthrown Tuktamysheva, Yulia Lipnitskaya, has she been ambushed as she is right now. This season she has scored 150, and now she needs almost 9 points more"
After she finished:
"How has she fought, ah?" "It's impressive. She has me impressed, this girl, because despite her youth... she knows... she is being approched/ambushed... this is a new situation for her (this commentator does not always finish her sentences), she has always been the champion... she has dominated the american, the japanese skaters, all of them, but she is being ambushed from her own house. She has done a sensational program, it's true that at the beginning the combination didn't work out but she put it in the other triple flip." "There you have Romina, the triple olympic champion, standing and applauding the work of this girl." "Evidently you can't ask for more from her, it was marvelous Suzana-the other commentator-" "Magnificent program, it's true that things didn't work out the way she had planned. The triple flip was tight, the judging pannel is sending an attention for the triple lutz. Tight jumps but how has she fought, with the combination of the triple sal triple toe, magnificent skating, elegant, but I don't think it will be enough" After the slowmo of the first flip: "She fell inside the circle and she couldn't.. and preferred not to risk..." "Very smat from her part, that's from her experience. The rest of the jumps were perfect, every component. every jump, everything she has done, the choreography, the steps sequence, of very high level and with also positive goe's" "In components she is getting higher scores than zagitova"
After they show her waiting for the scores:
"And now we wait" "She tells a precious.. precious story" "Of course, she knows it's close, and i think she knows she is not gonna win today, and she is waiting but crossing her fingers, because I think that today Zagitova... she doesnt even wanna see Zagitova." "Let's see the face she makes, because it's not gonna be... it's not gonn... she is not gonna win." "She knows and the coaches must know" "I think they have to prepare... when they have two skaters of this category, I think they have to prepare them for this situation, that one comes and take away the triumph" "She needed 159 and got 154. She got her best mark of the season but goes to the second position"
"This is the image of Medvedeva being second" "She celebrates. She is giving her thanks, a gesture that honors her."

This was probably very unnecesary, but I personally like to know every detail of what the commentators said and I had time and i guess it's not gonna hurt anyone.
