No. We already know of your questionable taste when you went bonkers over Max's SP.

Maybe 'cos the choreographer in both programs is the same: Antonio Najarro

I'm in love with Javi's SP.
I watched it again and it was even more impressive than the first time. Just watch his arms
(don't kill me, but his interpretation is Takahashi level right now)
Javi: Loving the choreography, and how it carries through the entire program (the arms during spins, transitions into jumps, ect.) The best men's SP performance of the year, so far? (I'm not recalling any other standouts this year... by this point last year, at least we had Machida). Nice to see him fire a message to the Chanyu Wars: "Remember, I'm your reigning World Champion!" Now please Javi keep it up in the free... though perhaps not too much, since you need to save your best for GPF.
Boyang: :eeking: <-- Me, during his entire skate. Seriously, how does he do it?! And no, he's indeed not total garbage outside of the jumps. I mean, during Junior GPs last year, I found him seriously uncomfortable to watch outside of the jumps. But he's improved in terms of conviction and performance. If he doesn't land the jumps it's still not there, but he's gotten to a point where there's enough to supplement the jumps when they land. And TBH, I don't need him to become "an artist" (whatever that means). I just hope he finds programs that work better for him (meaning: not Tango Amore until he's older, and most definitely not Dragon Racing!).
I really hope his team is mindful of his development and health, because this kid is special.
Sergei: I like the skating and expression, though the music choice was a little... baffling.
Nan Song: I can't believe I'm saying this, but in terms of choreography, expression, and movement, he was the most enjoyable Chinese skater for me. I don't know if there's anything he can do to move up at this point, but it was nice seeing him get a solid placement in the SP.
Han Yan: I don't understand why Lori + his team would take this guy with strong SS, wonderful jumps, some innate musicality... and wear it all away with repetitive program after repetitive program. Especially when he was never suited for this type of program to begin with. It's verging on self-parody at this point...
Misha: Too many mistakes, but he did keep the performance going. Parts of the choreography were a bit ??? but there were other parts I enjoyed.
Javi has the perfect combination this year, I mean, he's a complete skater now. On the other side we have Jin Boyang, who only does jumps, jumps and more jumps.
I love when a skater has good jumps, good choreo, good skating skills... Jin doesn't have them (except jumps), so I pick Javi
Love Javi's SP! One thing, though, it reminds me, ALOT, of the Lambiel "Poeta" Flamenco LP. (I get that it's similar because they're both Flamenco themed.)
FINALLY GOT THE PODIUM RIGHT (in the wrong order )!!! Thank you for not killing my predictions...yay for Boyang (4LZ!!!)! Those were HUGE scores!
I asked this question earlier and didn't get an answer. So, I'm going to ask it one more time. Hey guys, Who is Grant Hochstein? I swear if that guy had a mask on it could have been Ross Miner. Are they Coached or Choreographed by the same people? I can't believe how many skaters I don't recognize this year.
