Mumbles February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Quote Motion to ban Carmen, Swan Lake, and Moulin Rouge. Find something else you guys! The vocal to Daleman’s Carmen was soooo corny and lounge-lizardy. She’d be better off with a pure instrumental. Poor Mirai. When talking to Andrea Joyce she sounds like she’s given up. Yeah it would take a great skate and a lot of mistakes by others, but jeez, kiddo, just wait until it’s over to say it’s over. 7 Link to comment

healthnut February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Daleman has the highest PCS so far. All reputation I suppose, perks of being a world medalist. I disagree. 3 Link to comment

BitterApple February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 (edited) Daleman over Choi? Mmmmm...... Marai has a good attitude. I like that she didn't try to sugarcoat her rough performance yet stayed positive at the same time. Hopefully she can pull a Nathan Chen in the free.

I don't see Mirai sounding like that at all. But anyone could sound like they've given up when talking to Andrea. I think she's just irritated with herself for overshooting the jump and doesn't want to repeat the mistake on Thursday. 5 Link to comment

If she can skate to the theme of that, why not a Gilligan's Island remix? Quote LEAGLEEAGLE53: Are you kidding?

Either way, that was Very obviously a non-classically trained singer attempting that, and very obviously horrid. Barbra Streisand is fingers on a blackboard. Nice skating but no WAY she and Ganby should be that high. WTF. It should have been in French, since that's the opera's original language. 3 Link to comment

Minneapple February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 I decided I didn't hate Evegenia after I found out she did a Sailor Moon program, like with full costume and everything. I don't know anything about Sailor Moon but I can appreciate a girl who gets her geek on. Anyway, she still seems VERY OVERLY DRAMATIC FOR NO REASON to me. 11 Link to comment

Enero February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 Evgenia's first spin was a little off center. Here we go with the lack of balanced programs due to backloading. They need to ban skaters using the hand over head move more than twice in their program. Sorry but Evgenia's landings on her jumps are not as smooth as I thought they'd be. The loop was very smooth, but the rest were a little rough IMO. Descent skate but it didn't blow me away. 4 Link to comment

Shaynaa February 21, 2018 Share February 21, 2018 I'm just annoyed skaters can do no jumps for half their program and still win. Rewarding jumps late in the program shouldn't mean that's the only time a skater does any. 17 Link to comment
