I like Daphnis and Chloe which is why I'm not excited because I doubt that Gold will do it justice. I never find her interpretation strong.
Chloe is not relatable at all to a 21st Century girl like Gracie IMO
I hope this is going to be an actual tango this year for her.
SP: Another tango after last season? Different music but a bit repetitive
Well the tango music is borderline elevator music to me but I'll hold my breath till I see what they've done with it.
I LOVE Daphnes and Chloe. Always wonder why it's not used more often. Once Robin Wagner got to the SLC cut of the music, combined with Rach, Sarah Hughes FS was divine.
Shudder:hopelessness: I just had a nightmare flashback.
I might get or 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.
Chafik Besseghier's SP is "It's A Man's World" by Seal, choreographed by Allen Schramm.

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.
Gracie probably thought this music was about Chloe Kardashian.
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 know... it pains me to come to terms with it, but that performance was incredible.
