Skaters programs next season (your opinion)

[rikaquegira]

Has anyone ever skated to "The Blower's Daughter"? I would love to see someone skate to that.

Also..more upbeat modern music please! I don't even care if it's not well done as long as the skater seems to be enjoying using it.

Sorry but I have to share this version of Blower's Daughter because I love this singer: https://youtu.be/eyni32LvWm4
enjoy!

Maybe the theme song to Ruthless People with her character's rant played over it would work.

I LOVE that movie. How come it's not a classic?!?!?

Also, 1,000 pts for the live album, I live for her bawdy jokes and her Twitter.

Just be glad I didn't suggest "From a Distance" for the FS ...

I once sang an extremely drunk, extremely loud version of Wind Beneath my Wings to my best friend while we waited in line to get in a club. She has yet to forgive me nearly 25 years later.
I'm tickled that we both enjoy Bette's live album. I feel like we are kindred spirits.

You can't tell me no one has ever skated to From a Distance? I'd be shocked.

This was a lovely version. Thank you for sharing it. This song always makes me melancholy.

With the SD being tango next year, do you think we will see teams using Tango de Roxanne after V/M's iconic MR FD? I could see teams being inspired to incorporate it into their SD but also shy away from it as to not be compared to V/M.

I am hoping for a variety of tango selections (not just Piazzolla) for the SD. Perhaps if W/P decide to continue, they can rework their 2014 Maria de Buenos Aires FD into their SD.

iconic?

Welcome to GS, BlueCat28! Glad I could be part of your first post

For a SD I would love to see a team skate to Julieta Venegas Bajofondo preference is V/M but of course that probably won’t happen. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=gXJPULg3TUE

For the Free I really would love to see some team tackle Victoria love this series, costumes would be so cool to replicate and the story of Victoria and Albert one of the royal love stories of all time. The music is so majestic it makes you want to move. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=UXV1eeTz6Xo

 

[ladyjane]

Hihi...I'm still waiting for a pair or a single to skate to the 'Long dark Dalek night' by Murray Gold...

 

[ReasonOFF]

kaetlyn could skate something with j lo music

 

[RedDress]

So yeah, still obsessed with Victoria music from the Series, it's first class all the way.
The first tune one I linked was Victoria Suite, but I could see this one
Victoria Cornonation for a singles skater - a woman alone crowned at a tender age with a lot of naysayers, but she takes on the huge responsibility as her destiny. I think it's a wonderful idea to skate to. And the music has so many dynamics, so much glide it's just gorgeous

[Kittosuni]

I just want for Aliev to continue choosing impressive music choices that fit his style. I usually dont like recycled music but his FS to Lara Fabian's Broken Vow was pretty good.

it will be freaking awesome if he skates to Skin and Bones by David Roch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivhb1y7YkLM

 

[Zenchio63]

Nathan Chen – Cowboy Bebop OST Tank!/N Y Rush. I can totally see him as a convincing Spike with the right outfit and haircut. Lots of cool step sequence and poses.

Another upbeat Cowboy Bebop track that would be great for Shoma to showcase his dancing moves and step sequence - Time to Know ~ Be Waltz
https://youtu.be/PneJzBpki-U
The Japanese rap makes it even more special, especially if Shoma sings along . Any Japanese speakers who can translate the lyrics?

Continuing with anime soundtracks

Samurai Champloo OST, Aruarian Dance for Satoko
https://youtu.be/TYRDgd3Tb44
This would really compliment and accentuate her delicate and intricate moves

 

[bramweld]

I/K should finally get back together and do Bajofundo Tango for the SD (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8U7V0p1eLw)and the Pride and Prejudice soundtrack for the FD.

 

[TontoK]

I would love to see Hubbell and Donohue skate to classic ballroom.

Foxtrot, quickstep... that sort of thing. White tie and tails, slinky dress with diamonds.

I'm growing a bit bored with the lyrical and emo programs in dance.

 

[noskates]

Please. No Carmen. No tangos. No Moulin Rouge. No Aranguez (it's one of my favorite pieces of music but watching a junior girl skate to it is just...........blechhhh!) No Four Seasons - any season. If you must skate to lyrics - make them appropriate. Karen Chen - skate to something age and gender appropriate. No Bolero or Carmina Burana (the first is sacrosanct and the second has been overdone and is heavy! heavy! heavy!) Turondot is getting old but it's still a dramatic piece of music and requires a very elite and accomplished skater or team to skate to it.
Kolyada - ditch Elvis Presley.

I could go on................. but choreographers, try a little freshness and innovation. Think outside the box and don't go back to the trite and overworked pieces of music. Pretty please?

Alena - Land of the Lustrous theme because I'm a weeb and she's a gem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWr2kKMQqDk
I'd love it if she did this by zts too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAKkw71ff3U
Eunsoo - I'd like her to do something dramatic so something by Jo Yeong-wook like this one from The Handmaiden: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Ek4rbmblbI
Satoko - I think I'd cry buckets if she did Scarborough Fair: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YYdVd7UzaD0
Nathan - I want him to continue exploring a contemporary style and I'm not completely serious, but I would probably die if he ever skated to something by The Lonely Island and when I say that, I mostly mean Threw it on the Ground and have him jump every time it gets to the threw it on the ground parts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gAYL5H46QnQ

[lyverbird1]

Dream scenario: Elena, in one last throw of the dice to claw her way back into contention in Russia, picks a really cool piece of music that's a departure from some recent questionable choices (I still have Titanic nightmares). I'd love to see her engage with something fiery like may Rodrigo y Gabriela's version of Stairway to Heaven or Orion and show the world she's not done.
