kyla2 said:It's all about the technical content and the moves in the field. If Sasha can compete up to her potential she is a true contender. The music is fine and suits her style , which is most important.
Red Dog said:Is she even doing a complete runthrough (I mean with jumps and all) there?
jesslily said:Finding a piece of music that nobody has skated to is a very very hard work. It needs many people's many hours and days reasearch. And you still not sure if the judges and audience will open their eyes to watch and listen by the time you debut the program.
reddog said:There hasn't been much variety in her musical choices, but really, if you look at it from a more objective standpoint, what does it matter? She's not being penalized for it
Joesitz said:I think selecting music should be part of a competititve skater's strategy, but it is not the only factor in the broad sense of strategy. Whether Sasha is doing the right thing we can only wait and see.
She is a two time World silver medalist and she is well known by the interntional judges and fans. How important the music choice is depends on the skate.

Red Dog said:This is all too true. We can all spell doom and gloom now for her but only time will tell at this point. Yes, it depends on the SKATE: that's the point I've been trying to make all this time.
gezando said:Well that is a very general statement that can be generalized to all the skaters, so the her can apply to Irina, Arakawa, Fumie etc
Red Dog said:To change the subject a little (what a travesty ), do people know Kwan's music yet? What if SHE comes up with a "warhorse"? What if other skaters come up with "warhorses?" Will this same argument/issue apply to them as well? Hmm...(BTW, I think it should.)
