NHK 2023 Rhythm Dance - Big (GOE) in Japan

[Matryeshka]

I wish Lopareva/Brissaud would beat both of them at Euros, but not expecting that to happen.

From your keyboard to the skating god's ears. There are several pairs teams I'm willing to sacrifice to make this happen.

What I like about Ice Dance scoring is that the scores don't mean anything.

I had a pair in every color as a kid, with the footies with the pom poms to match. Good times....sigh....

My brother had a lot of them, along with the matching t-shirts. My mom has used the pictures to great amusement with his girlfriends/wives/etc.

I still think this is my favorite thing F/G have done. They aren't and won't ever be brilliant technicians, but the rules have been adjusted in a way that really benefits what they can do. Obviously I'm more of a fan of the technicians of the sport, but I can't really hate on this.

The FD... yes.

 

[FiveRinger]

Finns a whole heck of a lot cleaner than Lithuanians, but R/A had more charisma.

I wish Lopareva/Brissaud would beat both of them at Euros, but not expecting that to happen.

This. Their RD is my favorite of the season

 

[quartz]

Oh my god. I had repressed the absolute crime of a costume Lilah is wearing.

I love it! But then, I got married in 1988 wearing silver metallic.

 

[once_upon]

I know F/G dance had to be the same time limit as everyone else's but I feel it was longer than 3 dances.

For mercy's sake, don't say "pairs teams" and "sacrifice" in the same sentence. Not after some of the lifts we've seen this season.

Has anyone attempted Madonna this season? A successful effort would have been epic.

I would have loved to see a program with Into the Groove. Desperately Seeking Susan uses that for the club scenes

 

[peibeck]

Great tricks, the rest I just am not on board with. He just shleps her around for half this program.

Also this remix IS NOT from the 80s.

 

[FiveRinger]

That’s Maurizio? I don’t recognize him

any chance we get to see him and Babs next to each other

I've dreamed a dream of time gone by.......

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I’m a nosy Virgo… I wonder if Babs and Maurizio get together when at the same events

 

[Wyliefan]

I also want Lilah's earrings.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

Okay but it's like pink glittery mesh with a bra over it. It's so weird. Metallic is fine. I don't get the glittery semi illusion fabric with gloves situation.

Over 36 for PCS . They are now an over 9 PCS team.

 

[Matryeshka]

I do give F/G credit for finding those outfits straight out of Spencer's closing sale.

I mean, can you imagine going to Joanne's Fabrics and looking at that mesh monstrosity, and saying, YES. THIS IS THE ONE. I really think we need Project Runway judges for this. I don't feel like I'm qualified to snark on those outfits properly. Or that score. That's some nonsense.

 

[Wyliefan]

Charlene still has the on/off button on the back of her costume.

 

[quartz]

These costumes absolutely do not go with their music.

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

I detest the against all odds transition, but the first part is great

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

These costumes absolutely do not go with their music.

agreed. They are very kiss inspired or rock inspired

 

[FiveRinger]

I really want to like the Italians. But I just can't.

 

[Theatregirl1122]

I'm so confused about the cuts they made to Against The Odds. Like they cut the lyrics so they make no sense?

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Marco was channeling Lewis there for a moment

 

[tony]

I hate the music edit repeating to fill time for both pieces, and I think the program can push out more. But it's still the best in the world easily

 

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Ohhhhhhh very cause technical

 

[once_upon]

The weird fake cutout things on her legs are ugly, distracting and unnecessary

 

[Rukia]

it's laughable that fear/gibson's technical is close to that

 

[thvu]

There's just something so campy about this program. Like, it's a program from an 80s couples roller disco contest. It's growing on me alot. The skating is so good, especially compared to what we saw last week at Grand Prix Espoo. The skating itself isn't matched right now, and Chock & Bates and Gilles & Poirier have alot of catching up to do. Things shift in ice dance, and I wonder (hope) if this is the year substance is going to be rewarded over style.

 

[peibeck]

Charlene and Marco

you are very biased against Paul and Piper for that matter lol because that is easily the best
