2021 Golden Spin of Zagreb: Pairs Short Program

[Seven Sisters]

Speaking of music, I remember these Australians, and their cover of California Dreamin! It made me long for the days of Mama Cass and her soaring harmonies. The original might make a great pairs program!

I think there will be a bunch of West Side Story programs next season because of the new movie.

Sigh... Greatest Showman/La La Land round 2

 

[LadyB]

i like musicals too but not listening to the same pieces over and over again and i think the 390th Grease was enough for me for a lifetime

Totally agree onthe Grease front. This is the girl talking that went to see it 6 times in the local cinema.
Yeah, teenage LadyB was easy to please....

I’ll forgive it if they at least use different pieces from each other, maybe some deep cuts... has there ever been an Officer Krupke program?

Another 'meh' cover. So far, we could have, instead, heard The Mamas and the Papas, Ray Charles, and The Beatles instead.

And I probably missed some.

Maybe we will have a Sondheim season! Sweeney Todd, anyone? Into the Woods?

Personally I’d say WSS might get overused but at least it’s genuinely great music. Greatest Showman is...not.

Ah yes, songs about murder and death during figure skating! Fun!

Sunday in the Park with George! Passion! I’d love it as long as we didn’t just get 50 Send In The Clowns.

the last midnight is a great music for skating

Ah yes, songs about murder and death during figure skating! Fun!

don't forget cannibalism

 

[Seven Sisters]

We already have Carmen…and Tosca…and—Schindler’s List! I’m not opposed to going dark

Goodness. Looking at the scores. There's only been one 1-point deduction amongst all these pairs, so far.

 

[LadyB]

The Wellerman is back!!!! Brilliant!!!!

 

[elektra blue]

the sea shanty is back!

I can reassure you that I never ever for a second in my life had a crush on Travolta. I actually fancied the guy who sang the 'Greased Lightning'.

Yes, that's great to see. A lot of costly errors though that don't show up as falls of course. A score around 73-75 points could be leading right now, but instead it's at 66 after some issues. But not having falls that disrupt the performances is always a good thing!

 

[LadyB]

I loved both the the Georgian teams so far this season.
But I'm shouting for A/N big time, Pavel's team!

Speaking of John Travolta, my parents had a friend who used to say “but he dances like a horse!”

go Karina and Luka!
