Music suggestions for 2022-23

Opera, I know it would be a challenge but picture it, dyed black hair, dark makeup, with her intense eye contact, hitting 5 quads accented on the high Fs. One of the most technically challenging free skates ever set to one of the most challenging arias ever.
yup, I can see the makeup right now!

Aren't the high Fs too close together to hit quads on each one of them? The choreography would be insane; I'd settle for 2 or 3 on the high Fs and the other quads can go elsewhere. Plenty of good places in the aria.

BTW, for anyone not familiar with Mozart's Queen of the Night, here she is in all her glory...
 
Two years ago i refrained myself to say that Wakaba shoud skate on "bird set free" because it was too unconventional for a competitive program, but girl ended skating on it:laugh:
Maybe i should just think about my wishes so they will become true.

"Feel it still" by Portugal.The man.
It's been done in SOI and CSOI.

Also, unconventional is always a good thing. ;)
 
I really want Yuhana Yokoi to skate to Edith Piaf's 'Milord'. She has loads of sass and energy to sell it.
 
The Doors. we get every year a lot of Beatles and Stone but never The Doors. why no one want to be the Lizard King? Light my Fire is skateble and one of the most famous tune of the last century, but also a mix of Riders on the Storm, The End and maybe Love me Two times and of course a Roadhouse Blues would make an amazing program

The 2017-18 and 2018-19 FD of Canada's FB/S included The Doors "Spanish Caravan" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJTQ5l27A_g

Yes that is the version I was thinking of and the vibe I was going for.
 
Yellowstone, when watch always think beautiful music and wish someone could skate to it.
Would be best choice for dance or men? If its even skate-able
 
I’m with the videogame music gang. But then, I am severely biased, been into this “scene” since Final Fantasy VII on the PSOne. I know far too much VGM than can be healthy for a person, probably. ;-)

How about a golden oldie rec, though? Seeing as Chrono Cross is being rereleased next month, surely it is a good time for arguably the best VGM soundtrack ever to get some more recognition? Kevin Reynolds had a Chrono program at one point, I think…
 
I’d like Wakaba to have something as dynamic as the Skyfall program she had in 2018, maybe something like Shine on you Crazy Diamond which I know another skater has used in the past. I find her current music a bit meh and she deserves far better, as she is one of those skaters that can really inhabit the music.
 
Here's a sultry number from Brazil for Wakaba:

Cover version by Melissa Kuniyoshi:
 
I've been on a Danny Elfman kick lately (well I've always loved his music so it's more of a return than a phase) so in addition to bringing back my Edward Scissorhands suggestion, let me add that he wrote some great themes for Batman and Spider-Man and I'd pretty much become an instant fan of anyone who skated to Oingo Boingo. And I know Marin Honda once skated to a Beetlejuice/Corpse Bride mix but I'd love to see more skaters using both of those soundtracks. Same for Nightmare Before Christmas (I know Kolyada used it once, not sure if others have).

Ashley Wagner used it as a SP in the 13-14 season, choreo by Shae-Lynn Bourne.

Is this the one you are referring to? :)
If so, I agree! I think it would be very suitable as programme music. I'm not sure, I have too little knowledge about especially ice dance, regarding the tempo etc. But I think it would be very suitable for someone in the men's discipline! :giggle:
 
I think this song would be suitable for men's, pairs, or perhaps ice dancing (just guessing). After watching Andrei Mozalev for the first time this season, I fell in love with his skating, and I think this could suit his skating style.
In the linked version, there is an additional instrumental part at the end, which is not included in the studio version. With that part included, I think it perhaps could be a powerful ending for a pairs program :love:

AMAZING!!! I want Andrei to do this so bad!
 
The soundtrack from Strictly Ballroom, one of my best beloved feel-good films ever. Jamie & David used some of the music in SOI in 2004. but I think it could work even better for ice dance. Favorite bits from the film:

1. Dancing on the roof to Time After Time 0:35--1:30 and 2:00 to the end.
In the movie, TAT alternates with another wonderful dance sequence, but TAT is the one I want to see on ice.

2. Rumba de Burros -- For this, IMO you definitely need the vocals, which start around 1:25.
I couldn't find an actual movie clip, just the soundtrack, dang it.

And finally, here are Jamie & David.
Great program, choreographed by Christopher Dean...except that he left out TAT and the Rumba. ;) The paso doble sequence near the end is lovely!

The Sale/Pelletier number was IIRC part of a group number or larger number based around several pieces from Strictly ballroom. I remember this music and performance pretty vividly and it made me want to skate to it later in my own career. ;)
