Really like Assassin's Tango for her http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yXA-wCgHwFc&sns=em especially at around 3:20...Daphnis et Chloe is 55 minutes long, so exactly what part of it is she using? Sarah Hughes and Kimmie Meissner used it, but-??

It seems like a difficult piece for a figure skating program honestly. It'll be interesting to see how she manages it.

I'll reserve judgement until I see the programs, but at present I'm skeptical about Assassin's Tango - too slow; I'd like to see something that utilises Gracie's speed, something with drive and momentum. I'm not familiar with Daphnis and Chloe, so have no opinion as to that.

Really it seems that this is more of the same thing we saw last year... just repainted. Did last year really work that well that they want stick with THAT formula? I mean it was better than the 2014-2015 season, but that is not saying much.
Last season was an ok attempt to try something better, but it was at most a step in the right direction... not the answer. Doing a reskin of last year just seems odd to me. Maybe they think keeping with something she is semi comfortable with she will have to adjust less.
I don't think the style that Frank and Lori are aiming for is that on point for Gracie and I think this will be more of the same missed mark. Maybe Gracie will rock it... but then again that might not suite these programs.

Chafik Besseghier's SP is "It's A Man's World" by Seal, choreographed by Allen Schramm.

Gracie probably thought this music was about Chloe Kardashian.

Overall, I'm meh until I see them. My biggest issue with Gracie's programs is that it seems a bit obvious that Lori doesn't talk to Gracie about WHY she likes certain pieces and how she feels when she listens to them. I could be wrong in my impression, though.

for posting this, but isn't a tango a hard dance to authentically pull off when you are doing it by yourself? I've always thought that the tango is a dance you REALLY need a partner for. I can't think of a singles skater who has really pulled off a tango program.I don't think being repetitive is necessarily bad for SPs - didn't Liz Manley always have waltzes for SPs? And how many years did we see Evan Lysacek do that España cañí SP - with. that. same. costume?

Just like last season, IMO. Which doesn't have to be a bad thing. She liked her programs and got some good performances out of them! Let's stop pretending her consistency problems have anything to do with her music or with Lori.
There's some epic parts of Daphnis and Chloe that will be amazing to see with dramatic Lori choreography. I hope she ignores the floatier parts of Daphnis and Chloe and goes straight for the drama.
Assassin's Tango will HOPEFULLY have some sexy-assassin-themed choreography. The music isn't amazing but it's a theme and character that Gracie could potentially rock.
Shudder:hopelessness: I just had a nightmare flashback.
I know... it pains me to come to terms with it, but that performance was incredible.

Tango (especially Argentine tango) is extremely difficult on land, let alone on ice. You can have sort of a tango "flair"but not a true tango. Yes, it is a partner dance.

Thanks for the update, but I am
with Chafik's choice. I am assuming this is a cover of It's a Man's Man's Man's World by James Brown. I've yet to see a skater pull this off, not even Elladj, who I was way predisposed to like. I hope Chafik proves me wrong.

I would indeed assume it is this cover.
Oh come on, Gracie deserves more credit than that bully... Chloe Grace Moretz
Her tango? Of course it did. Gracie won the short program at Worlds with the highest component mark of any lady in the field. I prefer variety, but if you are looking for an SP that met the mark, #1 at the World Championships is pretty much the mark to hit.

The music may remind some people of the ladies' event at Salt Lake City. I don't know whether the music can be an advantage for Gracie.

I never like Gracie's music choices, but this year I think they're perfect for her arm movements and competition nerves. Nobody else seems too thrilled, but I'm like omfg yay! lol Figures but yeah it's a yay from me.
I might change my mind once I see the programs though.
