Though I'm a more recent skating fan, I enjoyed Kurt's routines and the tribute for him at the SOI show in Chicago. He's still got it and he received quite an ovation here.

To Build A Home with a focus on Kurt from the very last SOI show in Hershey.
Kurt's skate is funny, charming, beautiful, and so moving.

"Singin' in the Rain!"

I've watched videos of that so many times. Kurt's footwork is simply marvelous -- even Gene Kelly himself would be impressed!

Kurt's Casablanca routine was so epic.

Here it is from the Olympics, without commentary

Awwwwwwwwwww - my heart!!! I think I have every one of Kurt's programs memorized. My favorite is Rag-a-din. I think Kurt had the best feet in figure skating - bar none. His danceability, his interpretation of music, and the scope and breadth of his programs was remarkable. And on top of that he was a really, really nice guy! From his comedic programs to the beautiful Nyah, I think he's one of the very, very best figure skaters to grace the ice!
