The level of skating was a bit uneven in the first three events, but Skate America, Skate Canada, and Cup of China did have their moments. We have yet to see some of the big names (Mao Asada, the aforementioned Brian Joubert, Ilinykh/Katsalapov, Tomas Verner, etc), so I expect the competition to heat up in the next three weeks.
I haven't been blown away with many of the program choices this year, but a few have stood out for me. My favorites of the season thus far:
Jeremy Abbott's long program - "Exogenesis Symphony" by Muse
Aliona Savchenko/Robin Szolkowy's long program - Pina soundtrack
Meryl Davis/Charlie White's short dance - Samba and Rhumba medley
Daisuke Takahashi's short program - In the Garden of Souls
Madison Chock/Evan Bates's free dance - Prelude in E Minor by Chopin
Amanda Evora/Mark Ladwig's long program - Daphnis & Chloe/Reverie

Meryl-Charlie's SD - it's definitely 1st. FD is magical. But I want to single out EX. it'a also masterpiece, one of the best EX ever.
ReplyDeleteMadi-Evan's FD is amazing. But SD also charms, especially Madi in it. She's impersonation of passion and tenderness simultaneously, awwww!
Another one revelation for me in this season are Penny Coomes and Nick Buckland. both programs are nice)
Aliona-Robin's LP is great. I also like Tanya-Max in SP.
Alissa's LP is amazing. ...but her last LP was better, I think)
And Dai, Dai! His SP...!!!
Yes, I loooovvvve Meryl and Charlie's exhibition, also! Theirs and Jeremy's to "Hometown Glory" are my two favorite exhibitions of the season. Coomes and Buckland are such a charming couple! I really like their SD. I think Alissa's LP is great, too. Her style is perfect for "Valse Triste."
ReplyDeleteI hate Davis/White dances!! are not original and they don´t dance!!!
ReplyDeleteof course Alissa's new LP is great cause Alissa is great!:) I love all her programs, but LP 2010-11 is my favourite program. generally)
