Eurosport guys(and me) agree with you
:thumbsup: I also agree.
I agree Jan, they were good but not that much better then at 4CC. Yet their score jumped! I think someone is getting bonus marks because they got screwed out of a medal at last years Jr Worlds. Trying to make sure they are in the final group for the free.

Why don't Crone/Poirier use the original version of Fallin'? That soupy cover is just strange and not very good (the singer even flubs the low note in the song). If the original's tempo isn't right, that's easy to adjust with audio software without any noticeable change otherwise. But it was very very clever how the set patterns in the golden waltz fit the lyrics and phrasing of Fallin'. Although their skating didn't quite live up to that.
Freaking Russian stream doing a split screen during the Shibutanis skate! I love Virtue/Moir but I don't want to hear them interviewed while I'm watching another team. Rude!
Carron/Jones' Jacques Brel song is ridiculously charming, and the tempo increase in the end makes for a really rousing program. If only they could live up to it just a touch more.

Okay, now I really have to go. Catchya on the flipside.
colleen, if you don't comment on V/M's SD soon, I'll cry big soupy tears.

That's what I'd like to know! I think it would sound so much better if they used Alicia Keys' version. Or, even, no vocals at all.
Help from who? Here's the judging panel and technical officials.
Officials SD - Ref Coton GBR), TC Leaver (USA), TS Higashino (JPN), TS Ponomarenko (RUS), Panel - Rogers (USA), Hurth (FRA), Laur (EST), Clark (CAN), Kato (JPN), Alpern (ISR), Heidler (AUT) Langton (AUS), Buchanan (GBR)
There are two Americans, two Brits but only one Russian and an Estonian but based on the name, I doubt s/he's ethnically Russian.
ETA: Oh and also two Japanese. The panel is very skewed against eastern Europeans. Only two from that side of the continent whereas there are four from western Europe and three from North America so I'm not sure where your sour grapes is coming from.
