Worlds 2018 FD Watch Party 6:00 AM EDT Thurs Apr. 2

[GoneWithTheWind]

I love Gabriella and Guillaume's Moonlight Sonata, so beautiful and soft.
The one thing about it that always makes me laugh though (and it's not their fault) is at the end when the audience thinks, every time, that it's finished but there's still another couple of bars of music and some more arm movements before the finish

 

[FlyingFeather]

This program was so well thought out for an Olympic year. The complaint with their skating is that it is not easy to relate to, so they picked a warhorse piece of music that they knew non-figure-skating audiences would connect to.

I think it and the Mozart are, but I also still think the right team won the Olympic Gold.

Though my heart will always want them to do another program with the wild feel of the Woodkid.

I am very much with you on that, but I have always been biased since V/M's Mahler

 

[litenkyckling]

vain point here but I think that this shade of red is one of my favourites on ice - it stands out and looks expensive (one of my biggest sads about worlds is not having another chance to see Piper and Paul is such a lovely shade)

Je Suis Malade, the song that makes you malade.

I know it's in the past, but how did W/P get that much GOE on twizzles when he botched the last set

Canada and Italy still apologize for Lara Fabian

I was thinking when I watched it, keeping a program for two years in a row can work because you can show growth. But reprising a previously successful program almost never does because reruns don't have the same magic.

Just saying...

 

[FlyingFeather]

Nice program, but whenever I think that it beat C/L for bronze, I get . I'm not very technical though. Maybe you guys know something I don't?

Agreed on both points, but boy did they (especially Kaitlyn) sell the heck out of that program!

 

[Ichatdelune]

How did H/D go from this to that dreadful R&J

 

[litenkyckling]

still their best work - hard to beat a programme that suited them so much

 

[WeakAnkles]

I'd forgotten that Caught Out in the Rain started with that long long long long long long long instrumental.

Well it would help these two if they stopped trying to do Important programs and just went for the raw sexuality.

Just my two cents.

I'm still convinced they though they could fill the Tess & Scott gap in the so-called market and so chose a huge soundtrack/romance movie thing but also chose one that was too young, too clean, too little impact

just like Stepanova/Bukin

If they had to choose a movie soundtrack they should've gone for something like Basic Instinct

 

[elektra blue]

ladies and gentlemen it was a pleasure as usual. see you tomorrow for men sp (i couldn't possibly miss my boy's laste performances of his debut senior season)

 

[Ichatdelune]

It was a pleasure y'all, if I have learned something from the past two years is that I'm still ID Jon Snow. Still I watch anyway :yay:

General thoughts:

P/C were in a class of their own but I like them more now than I did then.

H/D’s programs have really gone downhill (obviously).

W/P have never been my favourites and Je Suis Malade wasn’t as good when they brought it back. I was happy for them although I wish C/L got bronze.

C/L- not the strongest technically, but oh do I miss them!

I still think C/B were undermarked here compared to the top 4, but I’m glad they ended well after the Olympic disaster and with her needing surgery. Snake is obviously their best FD but I did like Imagine.

I miss G/Ps quirky programs

S/B’s choices have vastly improved since here.
