Evgenia Medvedeva

[KiraraChin]

I say it is hard for anyone who's not russian

That's why I prefer Zhenya or Medo-chan

 

[Mrs. P]

Just FYI. One the original post of this thread is a video of Zhenya saying her name! Practice, practice, practice.

Google Translate has a speaker button in the text field, its pronunciation in Russian is perfect. https://translate.google.com/?hl=en#auto/en/Евгения Медведева

I have no problem saying her name. I am a Latino from the US. I wonder if it has to do with where you are from....like phonetics and all that stuff.

Same here. Even though the alphabet is completely different, the sounds are very similar to the Portuguese counterparts, and we can write almost any Russian word with our alphabet.

Same. It's so interesting how language works. May I add that I now know most of the Russian alphabet and how each letter sounds thanks to figure skating.

This is so... I‘m still in shock. Why just why? What‘s wrong with some people? Rest in peace, Denis.

On another note to maybe distract us from these devastating news: I read somewhere on Instagram that Evgenia‘s new SP is to „Orange coloured sky“ ?? I guess this is just a rumour but I wanted to ask what you guys think of it

The orange sky? this children's song? for Zhenya? in the program of figure skating? Oh, definitely not, it's some kind of rumor. Have you heard this song? this is horror. Maybe there is some "orange sky" that I do not know

And I still can not come to myself from the news about Denis :sad21:

All found another orange sky. Well, I do not know, I'm not a fan of this music, I do not know if Zhenya will be able to show this music:scratch3:

This is really a new direction

Whoa, where did you see that!?

Well, I don‘t know the song to be honest and I haven‘t had time to listen to it yet. Maybe it was a sarcastic post I don‘t know. The page was called skater_on_ice and it was posted on her insta story. It was just something I read and decided to post here. I guess it‘s just a rumour especially if the music is of a children‘s movie.

It looks like the source is a Canadian skater who trains in the Toronto area. She trains at GTSA, which is based at Scotiabank Pond, which is where the TCC skaters go sometimes.
It's actually a jazz ditty originally by Nat King Cole. But it's been covered by others, including Lady Gaga:

I think the song is a good choice, although I do hope Zhenya doesn't go full Lady Gaga mode

 

[Fluture]

Well, I‘ve finally listened to it and it‘s actually not bad. I don’t exactly love it either but maybe I just have to listen to it more often. It‘s certainly interesting, though. If she really goes with this people can‘t complain she isn‘t trying something new. It‘s certainly more interesting of a choice than Carmen.

Depends on personal preferences

Well, I listened to this song again and again, still not very like it. But the version of Lady Gaga does not like at all, but the version of Natalie Cole seems to be normal. But it's really difficult to roll out all the nuances, rhythms, decelerations, accelerations. This is a challenge for Zhenya. I'm starting to worry:roll9:

I think she'd ace it. I can picture her being super sassy and flirty...
