I can't believe i just missed Jamal...after hearing Joe sing his praises I wanted to be sure to watch him skate............

Anyway...I can't watch this tonight, but what an exciting line up!!!!!!

 

[Doggygirl]

Othman - a bit flappy with the arms through the program (shades of Dick here!) for my taste. Jump trouble. E-Man Next!!

E-Man!! <crying> Quad - fall. 3A step out. 3 but no combo. Liked the program, especially the footwork and spins (a bit of an odd camera angle on the footwork - couldn't tell for sure if he worked the whole rink) BOO HOO!!!!!!

The men seem to all be having a rough start this year, except for Takahashi (sp) at SA.

Shawn Sawyer - I predict he move into first. Music seems to suit him. Not sure if that first jump was a 4/3 or 3/3 (3/3 I think - my old and feeble eyeballs don't move that fast) but very well done. Spins seemed a bit on the slow side, but really nice positions - fully stretched etc. from my point of view. I take back my "rough start" comments.

SHOCKED that Shawn's PCS is so much lower than E-Man. Anyone who is more expert - ideas on why? Running off again...

LURVE Oda. Too bad about that axel, but great spins and what a cool program!! It seems like he's putting some "fun" into the drama of the music. Will happily watch that one again! Over six pts behind E-man on PCS?? BAH!! I hope for some comforting news from the experts on this!

MATT INTO FIRST. <note to Matt, if you need a girlfriend in your next life, please keep me in mind. Emma, you can KEEP Rohene!> Can't wait to see the score sheets. Sure looked like a jam packed, highly intricate program to me. GO MaAATT, GO MaAATT!

OMG!! Warm up group - Zhang in Day Glo + White Out. He really deserves an Office Depot sponsorship of some sort. (see pairs short comments)

Prediction - Buttle into first. (ETA by a long shot!) VERY high energy program - IMO really "uses" the music. Despite the hand down on the 3, overall quality and energy and excitement very cool to me.

[Ptichka]

Tentatively glad for Johnny. Though his elements score was actually slightly lower than Honda's.

 

[Tonichelle]

well that was fun while it lasted for Matt!!! still great going Matt! here's hoping he can pull up a spot or two in the long (or three!) :agree:

A few comments based on the video clips :

Griazev - does the costume come from the same source as Joubert´s freeskate one, LOL? I think that with a passionate music like this a skater´s lack of passion (spunk?) and lack of true interpretation talent become sooo visible, unfortunately. Wrong music choice, I wonder if Tarasova is not making an effort any more?

Othman - his interpretative skating is always such a pleasure to watch, even if he is not fully successful in the jumps. What a beatiful skater!!!

Buttle - WOW!!! Hoping though that he would be able to get his jumping better technically and better-looking...

Weir - Although he fell, this is my favourite programme and performance of the evening. What a flow and what a beauty he has in his skating and WHAT AN INTERPRETATION of the music, WOW!!!

Zelenka - I really enjoyed this performance. He has passion and it really feels that he is skating from his heart...

Savoie - a beautiful performance, but it kind of feels empty, it lacks something.

Zhang - sooo unfortunate that he had two falls, huh. Otherwise I really liked this programme.

Oda - I hope that he succeeds better in freeskate.

Sawyer - enjoyable

Sandhu - WOW, what a performer!!! I hope that the freeskate will go better.

Honda - Oh my, this was sooo enjoyable, Honda seems to be back again. LOL, the Japanese Nationals will be extremely exciting.
