A Day in the Life of a Fool - Usova/Platov last competitive SP

That reminds me of all those skaters who choose “Fallin’,” “Fall on Me,” etc., for their program music, which always seems rather unwise.

So very true!

Marissa Castelli and Mervin Tran skated to Fallin' ... and they always fell at least once!

 

[iluvtodd]

Alexa & Brandon skate to "Fall on Me" with no falls!

 

[Seven Sisters]

The very literal choreographed “stumble and fall” accompanying those words in the “Say Something” FD of Pate & Bye at US Nationals—I didn’t mean to laugh, but sometimes I can’t help myself

 

[iluvtodd]

Tanith & Ben - didn't they skate to "Say Something" in SOI?

 

[Seven Sisters]

Hase & Seegert of Germany skated a lovely SP to “Say Something,” without falling on cue.

 

[iluvtodd]

Vanessa James & Morgan Cipres also skated to "Say Something."

 

[skylark]

Vanessa and Morgan skated to "Wicked Game."

 

[iluvtodd]

Vanessa & Morgan skated to "Sound of Silence" by Disturbed.

 

[Seven Sisters]

Vanessa and Morgan (with the help of John Kerr, Charlie White, and others) brought ice dance elements, influence, and innovation, into the world of pairs, and pairs will never be quite the same. You see their impact everywhere now, and it’s wonderful.
That Morgan ruined his career, as well as Vanessa’s, with his disgraceful behavior makes me angry at him, and sorry to have lost what might have been.
