It's fun when off the grading curve skaters just come out and SKATE. Show who they really are. This is one of my favorite exhibitions, and now that Whitney is dead it makes it more meaningful. Does anyone else have an exhibition program from a fave that brings tears to your eyes? This is Debi Thomas skating to Whitney and Cissy Houston's "I Know Him so Well". https://youtu.be/Ba0J6TXffKo

I can't seem to be able to find it but, I'll go with Alissa's Man Of La Mancha from 2007. Here she is from COR in 2008. Not as strong as her 2007 Nationals but, still a very nice program with her usual beautiful spins and gorgeous lines.

"Fields of Gold" by Michelle Kwan was perfection in more ways than one. I also enjoyed "Unchained Melody" by Johnny Weir and "You Raise Me Up" by Shizuka Arakawa. Those three come to mind immediately.

Mao Asada, I Vow To Thee My Country
Gracie Gold, Maybe This Time

Evgenia Medvedeva, You Raise me Up. Medvedeva is really not my favorite skater but I loved that program.

Torvill and Dean - I won't send Roses - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVWb0QiOArc



Virtue Moir - Stay (https://vimeo.com/88974682) and Halleluja (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEzMGs0oxFA)

Michelle Kwan Fields of Gold (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbUVLV49mas)

and not because it brings tears to my eyes but because I just laughed at them, Brasseur and Eisler - almost any, but I always loved Devil with a Blue Dress - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7O_GSNRkkw (also Patricia the Stripper was hilarious)

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Sex Bomb yet... :laugh:

It brings about a different type of tears.

I have many!

Igor Bobrin- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O89HBUWDlSk 1982 EX

HD Art on Ice 2016 Lausanne – Plushenko skates, The Jacksons sing "Don’t stop ‘til you get enough" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=am2fcCO4JJA this is my favorite video. He skates in many variations, his choreography only a skeleton.... "Tonight's show was really on, compared to yesterday and this midday. Aoi has so many more components than an ordinary figure skating show. Some like it, some not. But the Swiss audience just adores Plushenko."

Plushenko Grande Amore- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bA8HK5xkJA -This is also my favorite, different shows different variations..

I loved Oksana Baiul's exhibitions, as well as many of Daisuke's exhibitions (Bachelorette and Amelie are my favorites, but I think I may be biased because of I absolutely love the music). I always felt that Daisuke would be the perfect skater to perform to Bjork before I even realized he already did! Elena R's Imagine exhibition is quite stunning as well, and her new Worth it program is so entertaining. I can't really think of any of the other current ladies pulling it off quite like she does ;)
