An impossible choice, unless the class at an event was very small. Not just because the judges and audience would be racing each other to the exits out of screaming boredom if there were 20-some performances of the same piece, but also because it would be impossible to find a piece that everyone liked and wanted to skate to. I see songs raved about in threads here, usually never heard of it, click on the link, and can't even listen to the whole thing before I switch it off. I'm sure if I listed my favourites that I've used or would like to, they'd be a snooze-fest for most.As the season winds down, a bit of fluff born of someone on another thread - can't recall where - suggesting that the skaters all be given one piece of music they all have to use... and I dreamed about it (don't ask). So O wonder, if some genius in the ISU read that, thought 'what a novel idea' and came to you for ideas, what piece of music would you elect to please (or at least not drive demented) the skaters, coaches and audience?

It is an impossible task but if you ask me, I would search for something which is freely selected by the highest number of skaters.As the season winds down, a bit of fluff born of someone on another thread - can't recall where - suggesting that the skaters all be given one piece of music they all have to use... and I dreamed about it (don't ask).

Not unless they felt as corny as Kansas in August .One of my favourite programs a very long time ago was to A Wonderful Guy from South Pacific. No matter how I was feeling, the first notes made me smile. But I doubt if you'd find any young skaters today who'd be willing to skate to such a corny antique
Actually that post was tongue in cheek along with a couple of other ideas that the poster actually felt would be terrible. One of our threads about how to restore interest in figure skating. But there were some replies that took it seriously.
Oh I know it was a comic suggestion, I just thought it would be fun to think if the ISU went even madder than currently, and how we could make it less (or more, if we are needing a laugh) unbearable...
Just for the record, my favorite/favourite song from South Pacific is "A Wonderful Guy." I stillAn impossible choice, unless the class at an event was very small.
