I hope you are wrong about a fall, Laura, and that Johnny continues to succeed. I just wish he'd slow down and be more selective in his choice of projects, on and off the ice. He has been on the go nonstop since the Olympics. Better, I think, to pick one or two non-skating projects and focus on those; it seems like every time I check his Facebook page, there's another new book/TV appearance/judging/whatever. Too, too much and much of it seems rushed and poorly planned. <br /><br />His skating is so elegant and refined, and his press conference at the Olympics after those cruel remarks from broadcasters showed his personal class and refinement. But since then, in a number of his interviews (particular the ones with the less-than-professional hosts), he has not shown those qualities. His management should see that less is sometimes more. As a fan, I want to see the best of him, not just more of him.Anonycatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-32168221073691052010-07-25T21:24:50.074-07:002010-07-25T21:24:50.074-07:00Stupid physics question: can he jump with those od...Stupid physics question: can he jump with those odd-looking shoulder loops? <br /><br />I get bitched at a lot for criticizing Johnny Weir.

I have been a supporter of his for years now and this is the first time I just can't justify whatever the hell is happening with him. Maybe nothing is happening with him, maybe this whole re-invention of PF is just a mistake and he'll lisetn to ppl's opinions. Who knows? I do think that it's a bit early to determine wether or not his pro- career is indeed in actual danger. This is a huge time in his life and we all know Johnny needs his time to come to terms with things. Maybe he has to struggle a bit first to realize things. Thats his way. Not the best way... but his way. Sun Valley was a... horrid sight to be sure, which is a shame because I think he's keeping himself in good shape (he just can't move in that darn ugly costume). But, lets hope he rallies and figures things out. By figure things out, I of course mean get rid of Tara.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-26233337131414033662010-07-25T08:41:24.132-07:002010-07-25T08:41:24.132-07:00Looks like the same things that ruined Johnny'...Looks like the same things that ruined Johnny's competitive career are also at play in his pro skating: no discipline, misplaced trust, poor training, and a failure to seek and respect professional advice. <br /><br />SO much talent, so much waste.<br /><br />The photos from Sun Valley are ghastly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-65729034181479041472010-07-24T21:24:00.539-07:002010-07-24T21:24:00.539-07:00re: Johnny's classical piece (Brokenhearted). ...re: Johnny's classical piece (Brokenhearted). Yes it is lovely, yes it shows his elegance and grace but every fan needs to be honest. All the moves he uses in that program are moves we've seen in other programs. Yes, skaters have trademark moves, but even the transitions are similar. Good choreography takes the strengths of each skater and presents it in a unique, new exciting way. Much like any art. It's all been done before. what makes it great is that it's being presented in a new, fresh way. I wish Johnny would get some real, new, pro-choreographed programs. His Poker Face was pretty different, but still many little same hand movements.
