I like Adele but something about this song makes me think it would make for a better solo program than something for ice dance. I wish they'd skate to a genre/artist that not everyone and their mother wants to skate to (The Kerrs and Jeremy Abbott and who knows how many more). This will save the audience from having to listen to the same music over and over again.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-52416011629058761902011-09-27T13:03:03.723-07:002011-09-27T13:03:03.723-07:00I love the split rotational lift at the end!

They've never had a theatrical narrative in their programs, but I see where the criticism is coming from. Anyway, it's just an exhibition, so I can't blame skaters for not devoting substantial time and creativity to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-82344427618299772742011-09-27T02:41:09.624-07:002011-09-27T02:41:09.624-07:00Marlie's exibs always look like strung togethe...Marlie's exibs always look like strung together bits of old programs, but this was better than most.<br /><br />Over the next few years I see the DSC program taking over the dominant role in ice dance-mainly because of superior Camerlengo/Krylova/Scali choreo & coaching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-2904022545629952342011-09-27T00:42:13.098-07:002011-09-27T00:42:13.098-07:00That program really doesn't do anything for me...That program really doesn't do anything for me.<br /><br />On the other hand, the winning Hubbell/Donohue FD from Nebelhorn is up on youtube now and I rather like it - they don't have the technical polish of Marlie or Voir but its a nice program and they look good together in a sort of hot schoolteacher and cute student sort of way (and I'm glad she's not skating that program with her brother).<br /><br />http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8DixQUsipKQ&feature=channel_video_titleAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-27636932276551323532011-09-27T00:36:09.089-07:002011-09-27T00:36:09.089-07:00With this music comes a lot of possibilities, a st...With this music comes a lot of possibilities, a story of a break-up would be great, i wished they changed this generic choreography tooAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-63626401551369818822011-09-26T23:25:06.236-07:002011-09-26T23:25:06.236-07:00what the hell is charlie wearingwhat the hell is charlie wearingpaulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905103372733278208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6387050766907671577.post-17935801077110904732011-09-26T23:12:33.881-07:002011-09-26T23:12:33.881-07:00yeah, it looked like they just strung parts of the...yeah, it looked like they just strung parts of their old program and some pretty choreography together.

I hope they tweak the choreo a little, because with a song as lovely as this, the program could be epic.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
