Or Adam Rippon skating to Adam Rippon?
Haha, that'd be something to see! I've heard him sing a cover, but does he have original songs?
Back on topic, I'd like to see more skating to music never used before. Skip the traditional skating pieces, I say! (Nino Rota, Phantom of Opera, Astor Piazzola, Tchaikovsky, Carmen, Disney, Firebird, etc....)
There's too much music in the world to limit skating pieces to just a handful. The most interesting new song choice this year for me was a junior lady (can't remember was it from JGP or Japanese nationals) who skated to 'Mishil's Theme' from a Korean tv-programme. Never heard that song before, but it stuck to my head and eventually I had to look it up. It has a great atmosphere for a skater to interpret with movement.
Hmm, I'd be for someone skating to La Campanella. I've always wanted to hear it in FS.
Other than that:
-More "native" music, stuff like Seimei or Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon from this season. Something very odd, like a solo asian koto flute, or just pure drum beats (taiko or african are all fine)
- Gender bending- say a guy skating to swan lake (tchaikovsky), or a woman skating to Chaplin. Interesting things that we've never considered before, slightly non-traditional in that way.

It’s every bit as appropriate as “Big Spender”.I´m pretty sure Candyman is not appropriate song for a 14 yo to skate too...

both songs are very appropriate. sasha is known for skating to the most appropriate songs for her age, and she should continue that way

Well Yuzuru has been skating to "swan" themes at least two times (Notte Stellata and White Legend with Tchaikovsky)
Edit.
Anyone wants to put money on Boyang skating to Avengers´theme next season

I went and listened to some of the Dr Who soundtrack, and there are lots of good pieces. "Doomsday" for one.
There are lots of covers of it too, to add some variation.
I would love it if one of the ladies would skate to "Uja" by Tanya Tagaaq (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0o5StBRPOI0), although the judges and audience might not agree. I think Polina Edmunds could pull it off. Her SP this year to the DeBeers theme hit sort of similar marks.
For a pairs or ice dancing program: "Balaga" and "The Abuduction" from Natasha, Pierre and the Great Comet of 1812.
And Javier Fernandez would do a killer skate to "Dust and Ashes."

Maybe skaters should maybe start taking initiative of finding music that they themselves like. Because honestly it'll lead to more fun programs. And they'll have more fun knowing that they picked music that they like. Or maybe if they can't think of any, if they have social media, they can have fans submit suggestions to them.

Which Avengers, though? Because I can kinda see him as John Steed...
I'd like to see Ivett Toth expand on her AC/DC program with something even more out there. Maybe some early Malmsteen - Black Star, say, or the Icarus Dream Suite. That'd wake the judges up!
And I'd love to see someone with good spins skate to James Galway's recording of Song of the Seashore - maybe Laurine Lecavelier, or even better, one of the juniors I like. A silky flute would make a nice change from tinkly pianos, and that piece is just the right length for a short program, and would be accessible for a junior skater who's building her musicality along with her technique.

Pick your avenger´s poison https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=avengers+overture
Or maybe Jim Boyang would pick to do Spider-man 2.0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I42Y1bl5uXs
And a Yes! for Ivett Toth AC/DC style, her program was very popular and fun

As I was watching someone skate to Cats today on the CdP stream, I thought this musical would be a great fit for Ashley. I think she would excel at portraying Griselda(sp?). Especially since she's one of the oldest competitors out there, and some are writing her off already; it would be awesome if she could prove them wrong and at the same time, create another iconic piece like Moulin Rouge.
