Favorite EX Programs

[silverfoxes]

Favorite Plushy exhibitions - Crazy Bird, Russian Country Dance, Winner, Asisai, Oops I Did It Again... I got burned out on Sex Bomb a long time ago, alas.

I like most of Dai and Stephane's exhibitions, Anissina/Peizerat Star Wars, Alexander Abt's Gasolina, Brian Joubert - Daft Punk, Le Patineur, Infinity, Tomas Verner - Pink Panther, Johnny Weir - Poker Face, Kevin Reynolds - Gafuu, etc. So many. Anything that is fun, upbeat, sexy, creative...no boring syrupy ballads, please.

Akiko Suzuki's Love Dance

 

[alia jackson]

Yuzuru Hanyu rockstar program Change . It has twerking, hydroblading, jumps, ina bauer even the biellmann came out.

Kurt would love Change, he said "As a fan, speaking right now, I like it when he is the rockstar out there in the exhibition" after Yuzu's World 2015 gala ex .

I think that for amateur exhibition programs Brasseur and Eisler were right up there. Patricia the Stripper was hilarious . I remember finding their Devil with a blue Dress staggering https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7O_GSNRkkw, and I at any rate loved their Lilliehammer exhibition to Bryan Adams.
Also have always loved Torvill and Dean's "I won't send Roses" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVWb0QiOArc

ITA all the way!

I discovered it yesterday, but I really loved Alaine Chartrand EX on Funkytown old song.

Same here! Those overly sappy ballads aren't my thing either! A fun drinking game is drinking every time someone's skating to a sappy ballad.. I promise you'll be drunk by the end of the gala
I also like Yuzuru's change, vertigo and hello, I love you. Rock music really suits him imo. I also like Mao's Por una cabeza and So deep is the night. I've been into figure skating since Sochi, so I'm not really familiar with the good exhibitions out there yet.I hope I'll know more good exhibitions in the future

Lambiel's Ne me quitte pas

:thumbsup: my favorite one from Stephan!

How can I forgot it????? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=15UjaPyaccw Tribute to Nijinsky ex at ECH Budapest 2004 Beautiful video, the music gives me chills as for many other people.
"A great tribute from the russian figure skating to the russian ballet !
And young Plushy is looking completely like a fairy-tale elf here. Absolutely gorgeous and unreal, he is dancing or flying across the frozen lake in the moonlight.
Along with the music the whole scene is mysterious!"

For Yuna...hmm
her Don't Stop the Music EX - it was fun and to me, the EX made her look....normal? In a way it made her feel down to earth. She looked like a normal girl who jams with her favourite pop music with no shame. Like me :agree:
her El Tango EX version - The added layer of maturity made it extra AMAZING!
her All of Me EX -just like her Don't Stop the Music EX, it made her look grounded. No fuss, no mess. She also looked very comfortable, chill and happy performing in it.
her Arirang Medley EX version - maybe it's because she performed it in Korea but it's nonetheless a very special program/performance for me

Her MdT and ND EXs make me smile and cry at the same time...so there's that.

For Soyoun, she did this adorable Roxy EX. She had a bear and had this cute white bonnet on. Just a cute program overall. (trying to find a link)
For Haejin, this EX

For recent faves...or faves that I've been watching a lot since
Maia and Alex's O EX
Elena's The Bodyguard (And IIIII-ey-III will always love youuuuuu-hoo-ooooo) and Amies Enemies
Evgenia M - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eloDO_k95Jo
Patrick's EX in CSOI last year - Okay I forgot which program it was, but it was beautiful. He was beautiful. Everyone was probably blown away by his amazingness live. I was and I went crazy clapping after he skated.

[yyyskate]

For Yuna...hmm...

How can you forget my all time fav ex of Yuna, "FEVER": I have seen it in person and have show it on big screen to all my classmates, when I was thinking of a figure skating program to show them.

 

[ioanna]

It just aired today so I'm gonna say Tatsuki Machida's new EX "The Inheritor" because it has easily joined my list of favorite EX programs.
http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x2qgl0h_piw2015-tatsuki-machida_sport

6 minutes, 6 jumps, intricate footwork and transitions, self choreographed. It can very well be a competitive program, except it's even longer than a long program.

 

[TheGrandSophy]

It is really beautiful, ioanap.

 

[karne]

I cannot believe I forgot this one.

Ilia Kulik - Mortal Kombat!

 

[Ice Dance]

Adding Katarina Witt's 88 exhibition program, I Am What I Am, to the list.

 

[aa456]

Yuna - tango de Roxanne, Homage to Korea
Mao - por una Cabeza
Javier - aerobics class

 

[anonymoose_au]

I cannot believe I forgot this one.

Ilia Kulik - Mortal Kombat!

That is a truly awesome exhibition...I remember hearing that sword was actualyl sharp but then I've also heard it wasn't...either way totally cool! Hard to believe he offended fashion with that giraffe inspired vest in the LP

 

[karne]

I can't imagine it would have been properly sharp - he tucks it right against his side. Plus, how on earth did he get it from Russia to Japan? (Or maybe he bought it in Japan?)

Either way, there's a hilarious bit of commentary getting around where they remark that during exhibition practice all the other skaters were nervously steering well clear of him...

 

[Sandpiper]

On the topic of skaters with swords, there's Tatsuki Machida's Aranjuez: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1IsEgNwaYM

He's not as good with a sword as Kulik, but I really enjoyed the exhibition (and the very different take on Aranjuez).
