I'm not a music expert so I'm going to mangle this but the skating and music went well together. The singer seemed to be singing in a style that didn't perfectly align with the beat of the music. If I closed my eyes, which I did with the falls, the song and vocals worked together. But I don't think it's meant to be danced to. 6 minutes ago, Dots And Stripes said: Heartbreaking for Nathan. Also, NBC should stop pretending they have nothing to do with pressure he is under. I don't know why they should. He's getting pressure from everywhere. Pressure is part of the gig of being a frontrunner. Nail this and the exposure could be very lucrative for him.
