Evgenia Medvedeva

From what I remember, Senior test skates are always open to the public. People in the audience always film and post, some even livestream. It’s not the best quality ever, but we get to see the programs at least.

That's great if we just have to wait until september! :biggrin:

I don't know what music I'd like to see skate with, anything a bit surprising would be great :)
 
So on a more positive note what music do you want Zhenya to skate to. Lots of people seem to want a tango which I am dubious about until I hear the recommended music but it could be cool. Something a bit like kushka could be awesome because it would be different and if she has more power in her skating that could be really powerful. Personally tho I’m hoping that Jason can get her into broadway as there are some show tunes I would die if she skated to.

I do think though she should have at least one of them be quite ‘russain’ in theme if I can say that just to remind everyone that despite her training in Canada she is still russain if that makes sense.

LMAO you all are gonna hate me for this because it must be the 10000 time I write this here and in other threads, but...

I really want her to do a SP on Variations on Dark Eyes :biggrin:

I finally listened to this all the way through and it is actually very cool and the person on the violin is amazing but I can’t help but be uncertain about the sheer amount of pizzicato which would be very hard to skate to I think as skating is very fluid and you’d want longer legato phrases imo but if you were to cut it well which you would have to to get it down for a short program I think that it could be very good.


I love this actually and the drama that comes in halfway would be really fun as up until then it is quite pretty and in her usual style but then she could come out with that intensity because from 2:20 onwards it is very intense and powerful in my opinion

Off topic but I also love the visuals on this video with the piano playing in the rain as there is so much draama and I love it. I am a sucker for dramatic piano playing like This
 
I think Metallica would be cool, but I’d pick something besides Nothing Else Matters. That’s becoming a skating warhorse of Metcallica songs.
 

It's incredible! I want to see THAT on ice.

tbh, I think that music is too powerful, manly, intense for ladies (please don't kick me, and this is not a statement, this assumption). Especially here - desperately need quads. But I'll be glad change my mind :)

Maybe then this ("Autumn marathon") for Zhenya's SP? It is little sad but full of hope. And (little trick) judges from the Soviet bloc will be supportive - it's music from wonderful famous soviet movie, and they will have positive internal reaction :)

This song is really cute, I love it ❤️
 
I've always thought the score from The Crown would be a good choice for her, very dramatic music and she is a Queen after all ;)

And the lyrics just seem to fit this past year for her:

So close no matter how far
Couldn't be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don't just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know
Let's be honest though, if Zhenya wants to skate to a cover of a metal music, she has to pick Iron Maiden's Phantom of the Opera this year :rofl:

Seriously, Nothing Else Matters is definitely not my Metallica's favorite song, but it certainly is the best suited for FS.

No, Nightwish's version!

Have others skated to Nothing Else Matters? I think I've only seen the Hungarian girl skate to Back in Black, and that's the only metal song I've seen in competition.

Just jumping in to place this here:

Alexa Scimeca and Chris Knierim's SP to Nothing Else Matters. Alexa brought *all* of the fierce. Others have too, although not necessarily female singles skaters.

I know Zhenya could bring the fierce too, but I would like to see her with a song that she could claim for her very own.
 
I'm feeling like presenting this to the group. :) #BringOutTheGrunge.

Or back to the Metallica covers:

I'd love her to do something to K-pop, since she loves it so much, but they seem more for exhibition programs. I think she would do great with something to Black Pink, fierce and powerful
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dISNgvVpWlo -- Whistle
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHNzOHi8sJs -- Ddu-du Ddu-du

That group is with YG and she seems more of a SM girl, with her love of EXO and all. Red Velvet has some really good songs that would make for good exhibitions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=saQmW_mbPlY --> Bad Boy
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6uJf2IT2Zh8 --> Peek-A-Boo

And of course she could skate to EXO songs, LOL.
