I watched James Min on the iPad while at work. Even without any sound, his performance blew me away!

After the last two skaters, this performance fell pretty flat. The music was much 'bigger' than his skating and performance qualities.

Decent effort but Big band music does not suit him. He lacks the charisma for it.

 

[GF2445]

I think the skaters can see the tech score box.

Makes you nervous for them.

Saw the title of Anton's music, and I thought "WHAT???!!!"

"Fishing Boats Full Of Mullets"

You don't want to know the picture that popped in my head. A fishing boat full of guys with 80's hair cuts!!!

Then I thought "Ach, Anton should have got himself a mullet haircut just for the craic of it!"

But, I was surprised to find that the music was totally different to what I expected, and was very enjoyable!

Still doesn't sound like fishing music, though! More like something from 1930's Jazz clubs.

It's "Jason" time!!!

Eh, what the heck? For a moment I really thought Jason Brown was skating. My heart skipped a beat!

It's a Jason Brown lookalike skating to Joshua Farris former music. That messed with my head.

Next to skate: Jason Brown!

Love that when Jason is skating we all call him Larry and when Larry is skating we call him Jason.

The jumps were not on today. Another example of music too big (libertango) for a junior guy who sill hasn't developed performance skills.

 

[Dr. Jenn]

Yeah, he could have been Jason Brown's twin... until he turned around...

That was a very odd skate for me. It had glimpses of nice skating here and there, but he seemed to go in and out of the program a lot. If you didn't have the music on, I'm not sure you'd be able to tell the theme.

 

[CaroLiza_fan]

Now you all see why I was referring to Jason as "Larry" the whole way through Four Continents!!!

Just a pity he doesn't have the same quality of skating as his more famous American doppelgänger.

Isn't that the case with a lot of programs? :sarcasm:

Unfortunately, yes.... :disapp:
