Programs for Wagner next year?

[nolangoh]

I would like some sassy music from her, but maybe she will surprise us with a lyrical piece!

But anyway, as long as she can end right-on with the music, I don't care whatever music she will use

 

[Sam-Skwantch]

She should do Firebird :dev3:

Beyoncé: I was here

Would be perfect for her!! Sensual, grand and emotional

I wanna leave my footprints on the sands of time
Know there was something that, something that
I left behind
When I leave this world, I'll leave no regrets
Leave something to remember
So they won't forget

I was here...
I lived, I loved
I was here...
I did, I've done, everything that I wanted
And it was more than I thought it would be
I will leave my mark so everyone will know
I was here...

I really want to see a James Bond program from her...particularly, "Writing's on the Wall" from the new one by Sam Smith.

 

[tulosai]

I can see Ashley skating to "Your Song", but I would think she's sick and tired of Moulin Rouge now. LOL.

I'd like to see Ashley skating to something classical and not theatrical for once. That would be interesting and probably something outside of her comfort zone. Chopin, Rach, Gabriel's Oboe, something else? Or maybe even Danse Macabre (although I know it's cliche)? It can show off Ashley's strong side.

Your Song Ex from Ash

Your Song Ex from Ash

LOL. Maybe she can make this into a SP?

If she does, the "show must go onnnnnn":

 

[TryMeLater]

I would love to see her skate to "You will never find" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DMc3XDOy3AY by Michael Buble and Laura Pausini

 

[Ares]

Evita. With vocals, it would be perfect. Especially now that she's a world medalist - "Don't cry for me Argent-USA, the truth is I never left you. All through my wild days, my mad existence, I kept my promise...." And then the Miami Heat remix to end the program.

And a new SP to "Santa Maria" by Gotan Project, or some other cool modern-sounding tango. I hope she brings fire to both of her program choices.

No Evita We had enough of it from ladies this year. I like Gotan Project's music but too many skated to it and this is a time-worn concept. I would like some not famous / overused classical music for once. There is way too much musicals in ladies field these days.

How about "For Your Eyes Only" By Sheena Easton. Ashley could certainly pull off the "Bond Girl" with her beauty and theatrical skills.

"Nobody Does It Better" By Carly Simon from The Spy Who Loved Me :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PNA7DcVppEs&nohtml5=False

Ashley is great with the character portrayals and sass and everything, but it would be great to see her challenge herself with something a little softer than normal. Maybe even some classical ballade??? I just think it would give her the chance to work on some skating skills instead of having to rely on dramatic facial expressions for her PCS.

 

[theskatingbutterfly]

I may be crazy but I'd love to see the Glee version of "Papa, can you hear me?" I know the song has been used but I think Ashley could really use the emotion to her advantage and the judges tend to lean towards emotional/tear-jerking programs more.

 

[glorybox6]

I would love to see Ashley do an intense and lesser-used one of Piazzolla's tangoes, like Escualo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j1v3jST9H5Y, in the short.

This is kind of a dream program and probably too light for a LP or even a SP, but what about the Triplets of Belleville soundtrack? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0wstA1AXH5M

For an EX, I'd love to see her do The Weeknd's Earned It. Would definitely be a powerful response to the haters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xe_iCkFsQKE

 

[Jaana]

I loved Wagner´s Black Swan, but after that her freeskate programs have not impressed me that much. She should have some strong, dramatic music to make her best interpretation, IMO.

 

[Moxiejan]

I would love to see her skate to Streisand's version of "Somewhere" (often thought of "A Place for Us"); yes, a lot of folks have done West Side Story (mostly as instrumental medleys) but I don't think I've ever seen anyone skate to this vocal. So many nuances in power & emotion!

This times at 4:29; easy edit of the fade-out at the end can take it down. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAu3a7CMA84

Thanks for the link!! I love Barbra and that is an awesome rendition of "Somewhere" but instead of Ashley I think it would better suit a pairs team, would love to see Tarah Kayne and Danny O'Shea skate to it. I truly think the skating world needs more Streisand!!!

 

[desertskates]

I was one of the few that liked her Romeo and Juliet. I doubt it would ever happen, but it would be interesting to see it brought back and skated with some new found confidence that comes with a world medal. Here it is skated well at TEB 2013.

SP - Hip Hip Chin Chin
LP - Scheherazade, bollywood program

Ashley and Shae-Lynne are a Dream Team.

I think what is clear from the past year is that Ashley's music needs to mean something personally to her. I mean, it's true of most skaters, but really becomes important in someone like Ashley whose connection to her music and emotional resonance are such powerful elements of her programs.

Now that I've considered, and listened to some of the suggestions, I think the ones that are sexy, romantic ballads would just be too limiting for her. War horses work because they have so many different moods. But I like contemporary, edgy music for Ashley. I predict she'll come up with something spectacular!

I liked her Pollock SP in 2012, I'd like to see her skate to something in that vein again.
