Loved Jason's SP! The choreography is creative, unique and interesting! Maybe there's a high kick too much at the end, but fabulous program overall And never thought his ponytail would match his costume so much
Okay, I'm in love. James Lin from Australia. His joy in skating and his SMILE made me immediately think of Katia Gordeeva at age 16.
James captured that music. Everything about it. His flow on the ice and his expansive arm movements made me think "sky" before the lyrics said "sky." Of course, I have that song memorized and sing it as a duet ... but I swear, I wasn't thinking about the next words until he portrayed them so beautifully.
i am not talking about knowing opera or not... i am talking about knowing Italian lyrics
if a skater is using a song with lyrics, whatever the language, they need to know what it's talking about... IMHO
I think the aria is very well chosen - if we talk about "Tosca" A painter is compering two beautiful women. Taking into consideration Deniss's hobby - this is what he can feel or think about while drawing. Nowadays it is so easy to check lyrics that I have no doubts Deniss understands each and every word of the aria.
On the other hand - I am not a fan of "Tosca", but the aria "Recondita armonia" is far better for interpretation for Deniss that, say, "E lucevan de stelle" Denis Ten skated to on last Worlds.
45. i personally think both scores are a bit high but that's just me.
... it gets a bit frenetic with the kicks, but so far it's looking really good.
God, the cameraman is definitely in drugs :disapp:

Wow, Brown's PCS is extremely high given he fell and erred on his axel. I'd have Kerry's PCS a bit higher and Jason slightly behind him. And yikes, Judge 1 clearly didn't have any love for Uno -- +1 on the 3A whereas most gave +3... 8.00 on IN whereas most were 9.25-9.5. Not sure which planet they're from, lol! Meh, even with them being a downer, Uno still beat his personal best. Needs to hit the levels on the spins and footwork (I think people mentioned his footwork doesn't necessarily look level 4) but hey, it's early in the season.
but the first half was ????
so perhaps he was just nervous at first and didn't emote.
jason shouldn't be ahead of deniss here wth
