Family Feud! Omg if they ever go on Family Feud for some reason....man imagine what will happen.

It could be a charity thing! Figure Skating Family Feud. Browns vs Aarons!

(Winner plays Doddses! )

Here you guys are all appreciating the content and me I'm staring out the windows going, is that Highland Park out there, cause if it is he is probably still not back training yet.

Always the optimist, me.

Well, I prefer to watch the easy way he is moving, with no hesitations or flinches, including quite a lot of movement involving his back. :yes:

@golden411, I did notice Emily and thought that perhaps the family just took a trip up to Monument & rented a house. The only thing is, there's no snow on the ground looking out the window, and I think it's snowing there right now (while we in Chicago, miraculously, have none). On the other hand, I think it was warm there last week, so if this clip is a few days old you may still be right.

@karne I agree he is moving beautifully! He really is such a natural dancer - which is why I wish they'd give him another SP that plays that up like Prince did. Juke and this year's SP do have a basis in dance, obviously, but neither one really shows off what he can do with a musical line like Prince did. I mean c'mon Rohene!

Emily of 7K is in the video with the Browns, so my guess is that they all are in Colorado.

(She's in the red sweater/sweatshirt or whatever.)

Given that my balcony is covered in snow... i had the same look for snow reaction. We are snowy here in Colorado right now. We had a light dusting on Sunday, then got dumped on overnight. So it could have been taken as recently as Saturday in Colorado, or taken somewhere else. I believe the rink was even closed today. But really Saturday is not that long ago for him to be posting now. Saturday was a high of 65 for me so it is not implausible. But no... it was not taken in the past 24 hours in Colorado I don't think.

This Skate 7K Instagram video suggests that Jason was in Colorado as of Wed:

On January 30th Jason met with students from the Medill School of Journalism at the Olympic Training Center so he was definitely in Colorado on Saturday.

This seems to be a gang of aspiring sports journalists (grad students specifically). That's a pretty sweet field trip (Northwestern for those of you who don't know is in Evanston, Ill., just outside of Chicago).

Anyway that's cool of Jason to take the time to talk to them.

 

[mintx]

I want to see any articles they write. Post links if anyone finds them please.

@katmari thank you for posting the Medill stuff - very cool! Between your post, @golden411's, and Stitch's weather report, I'm starting to lean toward the Colorado view of things.

Wherever he is, he looks happy, healthy, and pain free in all the recent clips & photos so that's the important thing.

I was just wondering about his new SP myself today. I love that we have no idea what it's going to be like, but I too hope it's closer to Prince than Juke.

Did any of you guys see this young Italian singles skater at Euros, Giada Russo? Her choreo was just mindblowing, and I would loooove to see Jason do something like that. Heck, the exact same choreo would suit him to a tee!

 

[jacque]

I was wandering about his new sp too I would like too see him do something really rock&roll like one day just all out rebel and tougth guy with the long hair ithink that would be great.. I was wandering is Jason studing journalism in school.

I'd like to see something epic again from Jason, Star Wars or Lord of the Rings or maybe something Latin...he's never done a Latin program before right? Not a tango, but perhaps something fun and light like a mambo or salsa or samba. Am I crazy?

Several years ago he did a couple of Latin type short programs but nothing recently:

I would love to see a salsa program but since Rohene hates to work with lyrics that eliminates a lot of good stuff.

As to epic - although T&I is a love story I think it's a pretty epic one. Remember how much he got criticized for being "just" a performer last year? I think they tried to go in the opposite direction this year as a result. But I have to say that although the T&I music isn't the best Jason is a great story teller and I thought the program really suited him. So yeah, I think epic could be cool.

Yes, Tristan and Isolde was epic but even though it lacked lyrics, instead it had some straaange sound effects.
But I loved the performance he did at World championships with the grey pants.

This, of course, is my Two Steps choice for Jason:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4p2w-pijuFc

This uploader has described it as "Uplifting/Orchestral", but I think it's pretty Epic too.

Also, I'm with Rohene on the "no lyrics" thing, but I'm sure there's a lot of stuff out there without lyrics that could work very well in all kinds of genres.

 

[jacque]

wow I loved that piece . it was vary uplifting. it drew me in too the music and it had avery epic feel about.

I could see a Rohene using this. But then, he never seems to use what we expect.

He doesn't like the lyrics because they confine his artistic interpretation too much. I would like to see a really good choreographer really do something great with lyrics. So far nothing I've seen has impressed me. It doesn't help that so many music choices are so bad. And even if the music itself is good, for the most part the choreographers ignore it. Blah.

 

[el henry]

OK, since I actually liked Juke. A lot. A whole lot.

Maybe something in honor of Maurice White? Since Rohene doesn't like lyrics, Kalimba Story? (I think that would be the first and last program set to kalimba music?) and of course only hard core EW&F fans like me would recognize it

 

[jacque]

you know now that I think about I don't care what rohene puts together for him too use too skate I just want too see him skate again soon ireally miss Jason being on the ice and skating this year.he is myfavorite skater.
