Don't have much time for FS at the mo, but tried to watch some Skate America performances. I was not initially very excited about Satoko's choices of music, but she was so spot on, that even the tango was palatable for me! Hope she can avoid all the UR problems for the rest of the season, because her performance powers deserve a lot more medals. Marin's SP is still not good, could be any sultryish sounding song, blah. Lost interest completely whilst watching Kaori's SP and did not want to watch anyone else.
The selection of men at SA was not that interesting and as the score sheets looked quite unpromising, I went only for Nathan. I like his SP at this point - it has its moments, the start is really good, some clever bits also later on. Could be good unless he starts dropping choreo (again). His FS is rather boring for the most part and I really did not not know what to think of almost not being able to make the difference between a slightly longer transition sequence and the actual step sequence (good that there was that score board on screen to make it clear). At least he truly rocked the choreo sequence in the end.
