Well his last tweet sort of implied that he is back to work for next season, so I assume he is Canada already :)

This looks like it is at the Brian Orser camp in Muskoka. If he is there he'll probably be in the show 'Beat the Heat' on Sat Sept 3

Guessing can be fun.

What do you think about these songs (obviuosly, we don´t know how true Javier is):

1956 Treat Me Nice:

When I walk through that door
Baby be polite
You're gonna make me sore
If you don't greet me right
Don't you ever kiss me once, kiss me twice
Treat me nice


Two kiss as a greeting is soooo Spanish...:laugh:

1962 Follow That Dream:

Follow that dream, I gotta follow that dream
Keep a-movin, move along, keep a moving
I've got to follow that dream wherever that dream may lead

When your heart gets restless, time to move along
When your heart gets weary, time to sing a song
But when a dream is calling you,
There's just one thing that you can do

Well, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead


I think basically that is his story.

Yes!!! 2 perfect songs for him! They are a description of his life. I have to say, in my mind I was already picturing him "hamming" it up to faster songs like All Shook Up, Hound Dog, etc. LOL I could just picture him selling those songs with his fun personality. I'm beginning to think they like to tease / torture us with just a tiny bit of news. Then they keep us guessing! :eeking:

From Canada, weekend at Muskoka, from Sonia Lafuente: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJsi9QxDzAc/?taken-by=sonia_lafuente (was it cold or warm?! Can't decide based on these :laugh:)

Javi said that they will use two songs written by Elvis: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Songs_written_by_Elvis_Presley (Some quite famous ones here, but a very short list, so could also be songs made famous by Elvis? At that time it was more common to use professional songwriters than it is today.)

And one cover version by Elvis: http://www.songfacts.com/category-songs_covered_by_elvis_presley.php (Some very famous covers there, and incl. one Danny Boy...)

I think she did: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ6-GkeBv2z/ (For those not fluent in Swedish: "The last day of the camp ended with a show".)

Seemingly charming everybody: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ6UpR6DbI0/?tagged=portcarling
https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ6Q4usjLkD/?tagged=beattheheat (supercute both of them)

Frustratingly nothing from the show itself so far...

The second Junior GP did not feature further Elvises (apart from one of the girls), but Lukas Britschgi's (SUI) choreographer had watched Black Betty very attentively: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KjtBELi61pw (starts around midway)

It was posted on FSUniverse by KatieC that his program was "Danny Boy". So, no Elvis so far....

Thanks for the info! Makes me wonder, though, whether Danny Boy by Elvis will be included in the program?! It's less than a month to Japan Open... I remember last year it was possible to watch it live from a very poor-quality stream :laugh:

Whilst we wait for any new skating related news...

Javi and Michal Brezina in COR last year doing the pair skating tryouts: https://www.instagram.com/p/BKTDjNjhogQ/

And in Madrid, a rink close to Javi's home is named after him: http://www.europapress.es/madrid/no...se-javier-fernandez-lopez-20160913152750.html

Add: in the Hanyu media day vid (the one 2 min 16 s long in twitter at least), a glimpse of Javi at about 1 min 40 s. :biggrin: (This time I recognized the white and blue JF Team shirt...) Here's another version where Javi can also be seen several times in the background: https://www.instagram.com/p/BKXWSYJD7g3/?tagged=javierfernandez (but if you blink in the wrong place you will have missed him ;) )

This is getting almost ridiculous - more is now out on Hanyu's jealously guarded new programs than on what Javi will be doing this season... :noshake:

Instead, we will have to be content with some cats this Friday.

The cat in Madrid is Roni and featured in this vid by El Pais Semanal http://elpaissemanal.elpais.com/placeres/javier-fernandez-y-su-gato/?id_externo_rsoc=TW_CC

The cat in Toronto is Effie and here she snuggles with Javi: https://twitter.com/javierfernandez/status/776535401926361089

(But they're kind of cute together, The Man and his cats, are they not?)

Yeah, well Japan is the country that in general is more drawn to figure skating than any other, let alone Spain. I guess it's only natural that their star skater would get tons of media attention when he decided release information on his programs. It's usually that way, we know about Javi's programs earlier, but we get more information on Yuzuru's programs later.
But don't worry, eppen, JO will come soon and we'll know about that Elvis FS! Last year we didn't know anything about the SP until COC other than the music :(
And I didn't know he also had a cat back in Spain! They are both so cute!

What do you mean? Javi already told people his musics from the early summer. And it is not anyone's fault that Japanese media does not focus on Javi.

Last year there were lots of tidbits out of the music and even of the choreos for both programs by this time. Completely not depending on media attention. Now, NOTHING!

No offence meant towards Hanyu or the attention he receives, it was just a statement on the actually amusingly reversed situation - his stuff was kept very carefully under wraps and now it's out - we actually know a lot less of what Javi will be doing apart from the some parts of the musical choices (like "three Elvis songs" is a huge amount of possibilities!)

Also, knowing what the music choice is says relatively little of what the actual programs will be like, but seeing bits of it is a completely different matter. At least to me: I decided to go to the Europeans like two seconds after I saw the vid of the end of Malaguena because I realised whatever the rest of it will be, I want to see at least that bit live.

I love the cats, but I'd rather have something of the program/s, just a little bit, something, anything, pretty please... Two weeks is such a long time :laugh:

I love that Javi is a cat man. I love cats :) But, who looks after Effie when Javi is gone for so long in the summers? She must miss her papa very much when he is on tour.
