Very difficult to just name 5 programs - there are some great music choices, some programs that just fit the skater so well, some boring music, but great choreography or execution...
Overall I didn't like this season too much in terms of programs. There was no program I could go to again and again. I'll try anyway, since I just like rating and ranking and awarding, just going by how much I want to see it again. No gala programs.

1 Kevin, Labrinth
2 Kevin, Gladiator
3 Lauriault/Le Gac, Pink Panther
4 Kondratiuk, What is Jazz
5 Sakamoto, Janet Jackson

I would also include Matteo's Maneskin, but since it's an old program I don't.

Most of my favourite programs are from ice dance... seems like there is more care in building great programs in that discipline...

[noskates]

Alexei Yagudin? Where did he compete?

 

[skatedreamer]

Alexei Yagudin? Where did he compete?

I got curious and Googled; looks like he performed recently at the Russian Challenge tournament show but I couldn’t find the name of the program.

 

[Idiote]

Alexei Yagudin? Where did he compete?

Yes, there was a gala competition in Russia a few weeks ago, which Yagudin won. I was very ready to dislike his skating, given how much I despise him in his interviews and commentary, but I was very pleasantly surprised. The concept of his program was pretty simple, but still quite touching, and beautifully performed. Along with Mark's Little Prince it was the best and most interesting program of the competition, imo.

Here's a link if you're curious !

 

[noskates]

Thanks for the link. He was my favorite skater for a long time until he wasn't. I have to say though - this is almost a carbon copy of many of the comedic programs that Kurt Browning did. Copycat!!!
