I hope it holds out for Mariah's skate - her Chicago is such fun!

Stream Crashers - popularity evaluated via stream crashing. I can see the fan wars now: "My Favourite is so popular the stream kept crashing all the time!" - "Oh, yeah? That's nothing! My Favourite is so popular we saw nothing of the performance at all! So there!"

I mistakenly thought this event was over and wondered why Bell withdrew.

(Sounds like Lipnitskaya and Sotskova did well, from the scores.)

 

[snowflake]

If Mariah Bell is clean I think she has a good chance to take the lead here Didn't both Lipnitskaia and Sotskova have mistakes?

Nice to see the positive reactions for Leonova's new short! She was the only skater I root for between 2009 and 2012, but then she couldn't keep that momentum on. Still she is a very nice person to watch. Love her

The only criticism I have is the costume. A colourful little sixties dress would be just the thing imo. But I get that she's sending a message to someone. But to whom is she "Daddy's Lil Monster"?

Look's like Ivett was inspired by Nathan Chen's SP from last year. Like her energy.

Ouch, rough skate for Toth. I remember thinking she was extremely promising a few years ago but she seems to be really struggling since then... really too bad, she has some lovely qualities.

 

[EdgeCall]

That was quite entertaining. Nicely done Ivett.

 

[Biellmann]

My favorite version of this song :luv17:

 

[apgold]

Another Hallelujah cover - this is also becoming a warhorse.

 

[tulosai]

That was a really gorgeous skate, a real pity that the jumps weren't all there It will cost her.

 

[apons575]

Come on Mariah!!!!! Lutz-toe, let's go!!!!

 

[Princessroja]

Go Mariah!!

 

[tulosai]

Here's to hoping Mariah isn't that popular so that the stream will live...

 

[tulosai]

This might be my favorite short program this season, it's just so infectious and fun!

 

[apgold]

Solid skate from Mariah although I think she did a 3Lz/2T. Nice energy and sass!

 

[Princessroja]

Wow, Mariah has gotten SO much more consistent in the last few months! And this short program is great for her.

Great skate. Smart to not force the 3-3.

yes it was definitely a 2T and the 3L didn't look fantastic to be honest but it is what it is. Still a fun skate!
