The final night of ice dancing!

I love Tanith. Surprisingly squeaky voice though. I love how the CBC are all "Tanith! Wanna say hi to people at home in Kingston?", as if to emphasize that yeah, she's Canadian goddammit.

my dance company's advisor choreographed a really strange company piece to the same music the ukranians skated to. it produced about the same result.

although it did make me sit up and go 'oh god, why is this music making my ears burn? oh no oh no not again!'

[speshope]

What was that music? Do you happen to know the name?

[roxann_ireland]

I believe that was music from "The Last Temptation of Christ" soundtrack, which I've seen used in several ice skating routines over the years. I think Oksana Bayul(sp?) used it once. The music has a basic problem in that, with all the hippie-drum-circle busy-ness, it gives the impression of having drama but in reality has no dynamic or tempo change at all and is, as anyone who's actually listened to a hippie drum circle without the benefit of recreational drugs knows, actually quite boring.

Heh...the second I saw the first French couple I was like "Oh god...look at those costumes...I'll bet anything they'll be skating to Les Mis." *sigh*

[angevin2]

Heh, me too. ;)

I can't even tell you how wonderful I find this recappage of sorts. It's hilarious.

Tanith Belbin is so gorgeous, jeez.

Your commentary on the Italian couple had me practically on the floor laughing! Oh the drama. It wouldn't be the Olympics without it, right?

As far as the Lithuanian couple's Phantom soundtrack of choice, it was indeed the movie version. And now that you've mentioned it, a mask would've been AWESOME! Other than the lack of disfigurment, I enjoyed his costume. Hers was to bright and pink for their choice of music. Something red or black would've been my choice.

Huh, was it really? I could have sworn it didn't sound like it. I will note that Christine does wear a pink dress in the movie, though--I figured that was the idea, something innocent looking. Although, really, white is the way to go in that case.

I really thought it was the Sarah Brightman/Michael Crawford version (which I would *kill* to have now, why didn't I think of that years ago?), but I'm not any kind of expert.

You know, you would think that I would be able to tell the difference because the movie soundtrack is THE ONLY ONE I'VE HEARD, but for some reason it just sounded totally alien to me. Someone else says you can hear Minnie Driver shrieking at the beginning, though.
