Gala is Starting Right Now on CBC Country Canada and online (3:35pm Sun)
- Thread starter lutzskate
- Start date
Joubert looking very cute in a black and white striped men's shirt and a red tie 
He was ready to take the ice when Mao was called back to the ice by a loudly chanting crowd! She did a 3rd encore, no music, did a spin combo, including a Bielman.
Joubert now taking the ice. Women screaming wildly! lol! He is trying to keep focused and not laugh. Skating to "Clocks" by Coldplay (I love this song) choreographed by Kurt Browning. Everytime a female screams, he smiles! lol
HUGE triple flip followed by triple toe. "Flying" around the ice (arms like he's soarding). Spin. Kurt-esque footwork sequence including the fast spinning footwork across the ice (like Kurt and Scott H always do/did)
Now the encores...
He just took his shirt off and didn't expect to get caught shirtless on camera! lol! The women screamed as he ran backstage to change! Hilarious! (He doesn't take after Phillipe Candelero in that regard, which is refreshing!) He's so cute. Now wearing a tight red shirt with black patches on each shoulder. Skating to techno music now. Doing Elvis Stojko type footwork/dance moves. He's having a blast!
I seriously think this second encore could have been choreographed by Elvis Stojko. Looked exactly like one of his encores. Hugging the girls in the front row of the crowd.

Why oh why there's no live coverage (or any coverage, for that matter) in my country..?
I can wait for the rest, but I really want to see Asada, Nakano and V/M ASAP. 
Women in the crowd chanting "Brian! Brian! Brian!"
He's out for a 3rd encore. Smiling and waving but he looks tired. He's trying to get some air.
The techno music again, doing the fast spinning, circular steps ala Kurt, followed by a spin. Now blowing kisses to the crowd. He can't stop smiling!

. Thanks for the reports, lutzskate.Virtue and Moir taking the ice now. Tessa is standing at the ice entrance, with a big bag on her shoulder and "listening" to her ipod, while Scott is sitting on the boards at the opposite end of the ice. He is wearing black jeans and a black shirt with a skull on the shoulder.
She took to the ice when the music started. Her bag says "ballroom rocks". It's a modern version of "I could have danced all night". She's dressed in black tights and a black leotard on top. Like a practice costume.
Cool music. Sounds like it might be Harry Conick Jr. or Michael Buble??? Very modern though, witha drum beat in the back. She just pulled a black tails jacket for him out of her bag and a black ballroom skirt with pink feathers along the bottom. They aded the costume embellishments and continued on. They did the first amazing lift (my favorite) from their free program.
Jacket and skirt are now off again as they end the program. Great presentation!

Did you happen to see when the camera flicked back while he was still changing backstage? One of the people holding the curtain pulled it open and Brian had his pants undone and pulled down a little to tuck in his shirt! They started laughing then he turned back on to finish doing up his pants! Seems like he is quite the character!

Jeff did a punk rock kind of program. He had a problem landing his triple there again.
Kevin did tango do roxanne - he showed more energy and passion for this pieces than he did in competitions. A lot more enjoyable than his FS or SP.
Yukari did 3 double axels in her gala, and showcased her beautiful arm movement. Very beautiful program that accentuated her willowy quality of her skating.
Brian was so much fun to watch. He was having a blast out there. He was such a show man, and you can definitely see Kurt Browning rubbing off on him.
V/M did hip-hop ballroom dance. Smooth as ever with an edge to it.
Overall, it was a great night. Can't complain about it.

thanks, I tried. I felt badly for those who couldn't see it!
What's happening to Jeff? I really wish Jeff (and Johnny) will make strong comeback and make statements to all the people who think they are done.
And, is Tango de Roxanne becoming new Carmen?

Maybe ESPN wll show the gala, if not, Youtube people start sending them in especially Brian. He never got this kind of reception before. When he kissed the gal in the audience, the arena went wild. In between encores he removed his shirt and he was bare chested which I believe is his trademark now.
