2016 Autumn Classic Men's Free Skate

[Layback11]

I actually like Misha's outfit, for once! Gold and white are always a nice combo on costumes.

 

[Crossover]

TBH, I didn't have any expectation on the program, but surprisingly, the program looks so good. I love the unconventional music edits from the musical, so really enjoyed the routine a lot. It has a lot of creative choreographic moves, so even with the awful costumes and failure in the jumps, I applaud Philip Mills' work for Max. I think this is going to be my very first favorite after Max's Tron.

In this stream, with his hair short, Misha is looking a bit like Justin timberlake...

Max AARON

Skating to Lion King in an illusion mesh faux African tribal body paint shirt. These cuts are awful. The individual parts are nice, but... oh nevermind, just got to the remix. You don't need a club remix for your steps, just use the Lioness Hunt!

I'm sorry, I was really excited to see Max skate to Lion King, but I'm so disappointed. First of all, you don't need this many cuts- just choose three, maaaaaybe four songs. Second, make sure your cuts flow (no fading out to the next song doesn't count). Third, *** at the random club beat? And then you go back to original soundtrack?

I missed the score. I don't even know what place he is. Man, I was really excited about this.

I love Max as the Lion King so much! This was so great! AND HE WAS SMILING YOU GUYS HE WAS SMILING

Even with the over-enthusiastic belly-flop at the end

But come on, that score, really? even with the Zayak and the hand-downs they could have given him more than that...

 

[Layback11]

Misha's illusions are pretty. He might actually have the first good illusion I've ever seen from a men's skater.

 

[SarahSynchro]

Alright, I didn't mind the Lion King program. Or at least I didn't see as much negativity as would be expected from all the comments I've read about it. Some of y'all are mean.

 

[tinlizzie]

Oh Misha how I love Thee!

 

[yyyskate]

Misha looked tentative until choreo stsq.

 

[invisiblespiral]

Misha!

(I like how his ChSq resembles ballet a bit.)

 

[Crossover]

I'm not sold on another Nutcracker...

It's Max. Why are you surprised?

Anyway, program obviously still under construction, but looking freaking good for this time of year.

 

[Wo|flax]

The lion king program will get better as the season progresses;

Misha was solid but I like fun programs from him better; also I miss his hair

 

[DiamondDust]

Misha... I liked his sp more but FS nice costume and an elegant skate.

 

[el henry]

Mishaaaaaaaa!

Those spins, that style, that drama, yessssss!

What is his music, sounds so familiar, can't place it?

 

[padme21]

Loved Misha's Nutcracker program! His costume was beautiful and on point!
