Well unfortunately I will miss this entire competition and probably the next GP as well but please post lots of comments because one of the best parts of any competition are the informed, opinionated and often witty comments people make here. I'll probably watch the NBC coverage if they have it with my Mom, who will be full of mom comments like, "That was really pretty!" and "Her dress is really pretty!"

Thanks!

, hope all is good and the separation from GP will be bearable, Your great input will be missed in the bizarre land of Ice Dance commentary!

I literally live for their Liebestraum FD - this is such great concept and aesthetic for them, wishing them an amazing outing!

I hope it doesn't have vocals like that gawd-awful version skated to by Stepanova/Bukin.

no, it's piano combined with orchestra/other instruments, very soft, lyrical and dreamy

ETA - adding some bit about Stepanova/Bukin vs Hawayek/Baker 'Liebestraum' - I think that this is a matter of fit to the team: although Russian's vocals and overall musical arrangement is not my cup of tea, I cannot deny that this is somehow a matching aesthetic for their way of expression and they seem to feel comfortable in it/perform quite well of it. OTOH, American's FD is more lyrical in terms of melody, more of re-creating of musical harmony than putting a face and gesture in it. Different dynamics and concepts behind both programs, to each on their own

The hugging has become one of those superstitious things:

This is such a better look for them than the one at ACI. Bravo to them for changing it.

Best thing in the W/P fluff piece? Morozov and Poje dancing together and Kaitlyn staring daggers at Andrew when she fell or he tripped her.

For me, what the video conveyed is that the hug is far more than a superstition.

The take-home message for me is that the hug is a powerful tool in maximizing their connection just before competing.

Go, Tessa and Scott :yay:. And go, Madi and Zach :yay:.

I'm loving the music and choreography for the final segment of HUBBELL & DONOHUE's short dance!

In terms of Latin movements, I especially like the 7+ fast (Salsa?) turns/spins just before the ending pose; which looks to be about as close as you can get 'on-ice' to mimicking (translating) the real thing from the 'dance-floor'!

(it's recorded at very low volume, so turn your volume up)

Wow, wow, wow!
