Since lyrics were first allowed in singles and pairs competition programs, we have seen countless programs with them. The decision to allow them was somewhat controversial, but what do you think the best programs with lyrics are?

Loena's Frozen SP (Madonna). Bridge over Troubled water by Sui/Han. Everything James/Cipres do. Tuktamysheva's LP of this season. Sophia's Samodurova Burlesque. Celine Dion programs <3
I generally don't mind lyrics when they are not full of censored fruit popping and popping corks for every men I see and other wildly inappropriate things.
I would love to see some more programs in languages other than english...

There is a difference in my mind between two types of programs with lyrics. :think: I’ll use the same skater for both.
1. Lyrics are essential to the program and skater does masterful job interpreting new and interesting lyrics (for skating)
Jason Brown, “The Room Where It Happens” from Hamilton.
2. Lyrics aren’t really important, in fact I haven’t got a clue what the singer is singing,
but the program is a masterwork anyway
Jason Brown, “Love is a B****”

There are only two correct answers to this question:
1. Joshua Farris - Give Me Love
2. Jason Brown - Love is a *****
1. Joshua Farris - Give Me Love
2. Jason Brown - Love is a *****

I gotta say, Javi's Black Betty program was an eye-opener for me regarding lyrics. Love that program!
Also, Maxim K's I Can't Dance program is a fave of mine and I don't even know why.

Javier Fernandez - Black Betty, Man of La Mancha and Guys and Dolls, especially the last one. Frank Sinatra would've loved to watch the program as the presence of his nice voice is immense throughout the program.
In Boyang Jin's Spider Man, I can't imagine the program without the witty voice. The lyrics highlights the mood too.
As for ladies, I think Kaetlyn Osmond's short program with Edith Piaf is also a good one.
Virtue and Moir's Prince medley is also a nice example of how effectively to use lyrics in figure skating programs, but ice dance has allowed lyrics long before the 2014-15 season though.

I was going to mention these, and also Malaguena - Javi's skating being so full of character and story, lyrics work for him.
Yuzu's Let's Go Crazy, yes of course
To Build a Home, both Papdakis/Cizeron (lovely lovely use of restrained vocals) and Aliev
Sui/Han - Bridge Over Troubled Water
Shoma's Turandot
Elladj Balde's Been Loving You Too Long.
And I have this enormous soft spot for Starr Andrews' warm, fresh Summertime (Gershwin fangirl here)
