Favourite and Least Favourite Programs

I think it would be interesting to know from a fan’s perspective what your favourite and least favourite program by a particular skater are. Please don’t say none for least favourite as it really takes away from the purpose of the thread! For me:
Evgenia Medvedeva:
Favourite: W.E
Least Favourite: Extremely Loud

Share Away!

(Edit: Feel free to share as many skaters as you like!)

Just one skater or may I do a few?
Okay, I'll just do all my fav skaters

Nope: None jk, my least fav from him is POTO tbh.

Nope: Frank Sinatra :confused2:

ITA. I fell in love with Satoko upon seeing her skate to The Magic Flute! I do agree with The Planets. :luv17:

Todd Eldredge

Favorite - First Knight (honorable mentions - Il Mare Calmo de la Sera, 1492, & The Glory)
Least Favorite - Pity the Child from "Chess" - exhibition program - he skated it well, but Colm Wilkinson's over-emoting in the song ruined it for me (and I normally like Colm Wilkinson) I think I would have preferred seeing him skate to "Anthem" from "Chess." Interesting that he switched free skate program from the music of Chess to First Knight during the 1995/1996 season (and the rest is history)!

Shoma Uno
Favourite: Loco
Least favourite: See you again if EXs count

Evgenia Medvedeva
Favorite: W.E. or Umbrellas of Cherbourg or Anna Karenina or River Flows in You
Least favorite: I'll just say her Chaplin Medley (from 2010-2011 )

It's so interesting to see people with opposite opinions! Because for me:
Wenjing Sui/Cong Han:
Fav: Bridge
Nope: Turandot

I already did Satoko and you are the first person I ever met who dislikes Planets

What can I say, I really don't like Hallelujah, no exceptions for any skater, and Bridge was nice but something didn't click for me with this one. And I didn't say I disliked Planets. I just picked the program that I didn't enjoy as much as the others. Satoko has a great taste so it wasn't easy, but it's what the OP asks us to do.

Yeah, I understand I had the same problem with picking the least favorite Satoko program

V/M
Most favorite: Umbrellas of Cherbourg/Moulin rogue

Yuna kim:
Most favorite: Tango de Roxanne/bond girl
Least: send in the clowns

Yuzu:

Kaetlyn Osmond

Least: Any of her Edith Piaf programs...

Evgenia Medvedeva
Fav: Anna Karenina!
Least: Extremely Loud and incredibly close

What springs to my mind now:

Davis / White
Fav: Samson and Dalilah
Least: Il Postino / Forever Tango (always seemed stiff and lacking freedom ... but I can't help but wonder how much rules in that particular season contributed to that), I remember that I couldn't warm up to many Free Dance that particular season. All in all it is their only dance that I don't re-watch. Forgettable.


Virtue / Moir
Fav: Prince
Least: Gershwin mix (Free Dance) 11/12 season

Javier Fernandez
Fav: Malaguena
Least: Requiem for a Dream

Patrick Chan:
Fav: Take 5
Least: POTO (terrible cuts of music that I dislike to aggravate, uninspired choreography)

Daisuke Takahashi
Fav: Blue for Klook
Least: Sabre Dance

Bearing in mind that for most of these, the 'least' is simply that I don't love quite as much, I am still extremely fond of them...

Yuzuru
Favourite: Seimei (because one's first love is always special, and when it's iconic to the nth degree in the bargain...) closely followed by Hope and Legacy, Requiem and a whole bunch of others (a small bunch because it's Yuzu and he doesn't have a large bunch, mutter grumble).
Least: Notre Dame de Paris, which is slightly the underdog of the bunch so I have a fondness for it anyway

Javier
Favourite: Malagueña {sigh} just edges out Guys and Dolls (for which the music is normally so not me, and Javi makes me love it anyway)
Least: Satan Takes A Holiday

Shoma
Favourite: Buenos Aires hora cero, because there's a part of Shoma behind the sleepy/baby panther persona that is definitely just a bit bonkers and I can see it best here
Least: Great Spirits with the eye-blistering costumes

Jason
Favourite: I want to be different, but I can't - Riverdance is just so feelgood
Least: Leibestraum - though I like it, I'm too distracted by the Victor Borge commentary in my head...

Boyang:
Favourite: Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon - I want him to do more Chinese pieces, please
Least: Star Wars - sorry just doesn't click with me
