marianela nuñez is my favorite but many others are beautiful as well. i don't love osipova's turns on this one, feels like she's going too fast just to show she can, relying on momentum and loosing control and form a little. pointlessly flashy, in my opinion. but i guess it's a matter of taste and how much you value clean controlled technique over artistic expression
Vishneva understood the assignment! Superb job to her! Osipova was lacking in the musicality department BUT her leaps-when they are suspended for that .1 second. It looks like she is flying. So I can mostly forgive the musicality. *Especially* with how well she uses the power in her upper body. The others lacked the necessary “unbridledness” this portion of the dance requires, although there are several honorable mentions. I was sorta shocked with Svetlana in this piece. She wasn’t bad but I guess she’s set the bar very high for herself. I wasn’t blown away by her performance, which I normally am.
When I did this dance I had so much trouble getting the turns right. Even after so much practice on it I thought I was pretty good until I watched this lol
The way he improved between JGPF 2015 and this is insane. A year before this he was barely landing 4Ts and 3As and here he delivered a 4 quad LP, including a lutz and a flip, like it was child's play. And he had a massive injury in between too! What an athlete. I love coming back to teenage Nathan upsetting the established champions.
To think that he was only 17 and in his senior debut season and still won the free skate here over an Olympic champion and two world champions. Just incredible from day one.
Vishneva all the way. Followed by Núñez and Ferri. Osipova slightly too fast but breathtaking technique. Love Sylvie and Svetlana, but these weren't their best performances imo
why none of them dares to do a pirouette after the turns like Alicia Alonso did 70 years ago ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fea3L8H7tHU.html
I love Ferri! She's always been a perfect Giselle to me. Vishneva close behind. What I don't get is why Osipova is such a turn-on for so many. The only good are the jumps, and even these are thrown too much sometimes. There's no 5th, no control, sloppy feet, and the only time I saw her having expression was as Gamzatti. Dancers like Ferri was always full blood 100%

We all have opinions but the way that she makes things look easy and her differences is what makes her a turn on for many people. She’s my favorite ballerina and she just has the it factor where she’s exciting to watch.
Exactly what I mean - she actually looks the heaviest for me. Not light or easy at all. But well... I will keep on avoiding watching ballets with her. There are many other options.
@@bjoerndippon4915 if you avoid watching ballets with her then you’d obviously think that. Her arms and hands are extremely gentle especially in her Giselle.
@@noellerobin9896 I did watch ballets with her, that's why I know that I don't like her. You really think I have an opinion of something I don't know? So, agree to disagree thst she'sa great dancer. I stick to my opinion. Semionova, Nuñez, Ferri, Smirnova and many others are way more up on my list of great dancers, since they are clean dancers as well.
