2016 Skate America Free Dance

Conguratilation to US judge Sharon Rogers. One russians down, one to go

Don't hold it against US judge Sharon Rogers, but the one Russian Pair (IZ) I saw was not exactly low-balled. The program holds promise but it is, just like I predicted two months ago, pure Bollywood kitsch of the western world and for it to really work needs to be far more polished than it is now.

IZ need to work on it. I like it better than Frida actually, but, it needs work.

Twitter is saying that Charlie is bringing the shade, but Twitter is dramatic so IDK what to believe.

He basically said he wasn't feeling the second half of the dance and didn't get the connection to the music of the first. And that he didn't understand the last lift.

I/Z should have been in front of G/F.

 

[Bumdid]

They're honestly an amazing, talented team. It's their programs that killed them season after season...

 

[salchowx4]

Omg. I love this program

No offense to US judge Sharon Rogers, but the one Russian Pair (IZ) I saw was not exactly low-balled. The program holds promise but it is, just like I predicted two months ago, pure Bollywood kitsch of the western world and for it to really work needs to be far more polished than it is now.

It is not only PCS. You need to check her scores for short dance. Pretty cool stuff in there.

I like this Sharon. US federation should send her every competition to kill russians. .

I know GSers have mixed feelings on this FD, but I love it so much

 

[ancientpeas]

That was nice and moving.

It may be trademark Montreal Mush, but Madi and Zach's dance is nice. I love their emotion. And you can add them to the list of people I guiltily ship. (I know, I know, they're both in relationships with other people, but look at them! Their reactions give me LIFE :luv17:!)

This is a very weird cover of "Earned It," thoug.

I agree, but they are competing in the US with two US teams slated for the podium. Homefield advantage does come into play.

I respectfully couldnt disagree more. They have a Russian judge and Igor's resident tech specialist, Ponomarenko. Sloppy program, excessive hand in hand skating. The were given a lovely gift.

 

[Matilda]

Wow, Madi and Zach!! I didn't want them to ever stop!!! :luv17:

 

[SarahSynchro]

Well done Madison and Zach! u

 

[hortensja]

This program is so "one note" for me... Idk, it just doesn't grab me.
Generally in this group all was nice but quite ...meh programs. Maybe Shibs will save it.

 

[Princessroja]

Some really delicious moments from Madi and Zach. I would pin Madi's hair back a bit more though, because the flapping is distracting on the side. And I hate saying that, because it looks gorgeous when she's standing still.

 

[matcha]

If there wasn't so much side boob on Madison's dress I'd absolutely love it. But side boob is just not a good look, IMO.

PATRICEEEEEEEEE mon amour

How many kilograms of salt I need to make the stuff that H/D is showing more memorable? Seriously I think 100 kgs of salt is not enough. Just my personal opinion. Their FD makes me snore.

 

[fleeting]

H/D's FD is soooo much better than their short. This actually had great lyricism and lifts and flowed. Their short is what will bite them this season.

Also, I think Madi should get that dress in a different color. Maybe a light blue.

Wow this is a 'so close yet so far away' zach on ice program :rofl2: it's almost as if they didn't break up IRL.

(I liked watching it!)
