Mzheng,
The song is called "Zazhigai" - translated as "Light it up". It is performed by a bunch of people. The song is from a project where some artists got together to recors Russian songs. The project is called "Narodny Artist" (national artist).
The song is very catchy, indeed!
BTW, I just found out that the song that we saw was not the main attraction so to speak, it was an encore! The costume was meant to be for a Catwoman program. I wish we could see the whole thing.
Doggygirl, did you see it on Russian TV by any chance??

Thank you, Screech, for the info about David Wilson. I looked up his name on Buttle's skating and bio info on the ISU results page but didn't know anything about him. Do you know what his skating background is? He's got an amazing choreographic eye, that's for sure.screech said:
I agree with your highlights and would add Weir. If Sasha was going to skate to Barbra, at least she skated to the late '60s Barbra when she could, and I suppose would, blow down a building with that voice. Now if Sasha could just get a little of that into her skating...
But also loved all the exhibitions. The Russians had such a celebration! And was Maria Petrova wearing the hottest hot pants in the World or what? It ain't your father's Russia anymore. Big bummer we didn't get to see Li and Fumie. I always love her exhibitions.

I was thinking along similar lines when I saw Michelle's skate. Hers was the only one I was able to catch and this was also my first time in seeing her skate to YRMU. At first I didn't think I was going to like it because of the music selection but there was just something about the way Michelle skated to it that changed my thinking although that was opposite with Bolero. On another note, I was pleasantly surprised at the reception that Michelle received.

Exhibition Re-Air
For those of you like me, who didn't get to see Fumie's and Li's exhibition numbers, Heather's schedule has them re-airing the Exhibition on Thursday, 3-24 at 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 a.m. on ESPN2.
The Exhibition coverage aired on Sunday was shortened from two hours due to being sandwiched in between wrestling that went over, plus the World's recap that aired for one hour, and the basketball coverage that started as planned at 7:30 p.m. So I'm thinking they chacked Fumie and Li, and hopefully we'll get to see them on the re-air.

Shanti B&A's exhibition was to "Green Acres" it was a T.V. show in the U.S. in the 60's. It starred Eddie Albert as a lawyer who decided he wanted to move to the country and live on a farm. Eva Gabor played his reluctant wife who had no desire to leave big city life behind. They moved to the fictional town of Hooterville. It was a show of stereotypes. For example to make a telephone call they had to climb the telephone pole ....not sure where they got that. I've lived in WV all of my life and have always had great phone service,
In another part of their program they danced to "Dueling Banjos" from the movie "Deliverence" IIRC it took place in Georgia. The side by side dancing they did to this music is called clogging and is Appalachian dancing based on Irish and Scottish step dancing. Some of our schools have clogging teams.
Don't know what in the world they were thinking to think a Russian audience would get this. Heck a lot of U.S. audiences didn't get it.
Here is a link to the show.

A footnote about Green Acres: The reason this is funny to U.S. audiences is that Green Acres was the all time stupidest television show ever. (IIRC it had a talking pig in it, only no one ever heard it talk.)
Except, of course, for...

Can't you see Brasseur and Eisler doing this, as Gilligan and the Skipper?

PS. I hope someone will answer Kbrdmn's question about Fumie's music. ITA, that was a marvelous.

It was broadcast on Eurosport, at least the German version. She wore a leather(ish) helmet/mask for it and vamped a lot. I think she looked silly, but I'm not her target audience.STL_Blues_fan said:
