Marchei/Hotarek is the La Strada I think of for pairs...full of joy and personality. Wish they continued together.

 

[MaiKatze]

Honestly, Dai's La Strada program i probably the only one I can bear watching at this point. Maybe Boyang's.

Nah. Dai's is the only true La Strada.

 

[Mrs. P]

Nah. Dai's is the only true La Strada.

Yeah that's true, there are other Boyang programs I can rewatch.

 

[MaiKatze]

Yeah that's true, there are other Boyang programs I can rewatch.

Boyang's is the only true Spiderman.

No one else has a definitive Spider-Man program Though I wouldn't mind it becoming a pairs staple. Can you imagine the choreographic possibilities?

 

[Mrs. P]

Boyang's is the only true Spiderman.

Yes, of course!

 

[ancientpeas]

T/M are the one true Candypeople.

 

[BillNeal]

Plushenko: Sex Bomb.

 

[MaiKatze]

T/M are the one true Candypeople.

I also like to remember their iconic 'Music' program, which was hated before it was cool to hate on Candypeople!

 

[Arriba627]

Very excited to see that U.S. pair Audrey Lu and Misha Mitrofanov is really beginning to show promise. I understand they have been scheduled to compete at IdF in Grenoble.

I kinda liked the Music program.

 

[BillNeal]

Also, why are there two Pairs Free Skate threads? Noticed because someone just posted there.

 

[pearly]

I kinda liked the Music program.

It was great... for a local novice competition

 

[ancientpeas]

I kinda liked the Music program.

I liked the music program so much more after the Candyman/Nasty boy program.

 

[MaiKatze]

I kinda liked the Music program.

They got some serious backlash for it on this very forum. Until Candyman came around....and everyone forgot about it:dev2:

 

[ancientpeas]

I still maintain that the worst part of the Candyman program wasn't actually Candyman. It was nasty boy, the weird 50s music cut in, the costumes and the completely bored/embarrassed expression on Vlad's face when Evgenia was trying to tempt him. At least Evgenia was trying. You can't not try with a program like that. You have to be all in.

[Mrs. P]

That program is going to slay with more seasoning. Good effort by Deanna and Nate.

My husband just came in and sang along with his interpretive dance moves.

 

[MaiKatze]

I'm not into this Bodyguard program at all....
