When the sport of figure skating had beauty, elegance, artistry , heart and Soul. This magical ice Queen epitomises everything that is magical about the sport.
OH MY GOODNESS. Such a beautiful, interpretive performance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She tells you the story of the songs, effectively giving you those parts of the movie itself, and the final spin was so gorgeous! I teared up a little :-)
Thanks for posting this performance. It used to be available on RU-vid, but disappeared at some point. I think this performance in particular is the best she ever gave of Pocahontas, so I'm quite happy to see that it's available for viewing once again. :)
I love this performance so much! I know the program inside out lol definite all time favourite skater! followed by sasha and yuna! Music takes me back aswell!
Interesting that Tara performed her Nationals and World championship performance while everyone else pretty much did show routines...that being said, I LOVE Michelle's Pocohontas here and did from the lst time I saw it...a beautiful end to her 1996-97 season which was of course a very difficult one for her (and us)
I'm actually A fan of both skaters. I certainly enjoy this performance I would have liked to see both michelle's, and Kristie's back to back for comparison.
Presentation should have been all 5.9's if not 6.0. I get that they were leaving room for Kristi, but come on--a couple 5.8's for all that feeling that Michelle just poured onto the ice? Um, no.
1:12, looks like they'll enter a boxing competition, LOL. and Yuka Sato's look was like, I don't wanna get punched. But all three are great skaters though =)
Gosh, I read somewhere many, many years ago the reason why Lori didn't use "Colors" was because the team --- Michelle, Frank, and Lori --- didn't want to use conventional or over-used music. That's why from '96 to '01, when Lori was the main choreographer, Michelle's music choices were very eclectic and seldom-heard.
