I was going to ask you the name of his music.

[A Citizen Reporter]

So far, only Evan's performance has done that. And Carmen will do that to ya!

[mystery-ak]

ice dancing.....YES.....

[skateman]

Oh crap, now nbc will force us to watch more olympic snow shoveling before we can see the end of the men's free skate.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Maybe Bette Davis in Now Voyager. It has to be from an old movie. It's just too BIG to be from anyplace else.

[Jrabbit]

I was wondering....is skateboarding in the summer olympics?

[Miss Marple]

Look at it as time to get refreshments, check on the cat or dog, and get ready for bed.

I kind of like the snowcross. It is easy to understand , unlike moguls.

[A Citizen Reporter]

I don't have a clue ...just a guess. The piano reminded me of Rachmaninoff.

[WestCoastGal]

I guess Peter Weirdo is coming up later. I'm going to bed. Ugh......I think Kurt Browning, Elvis Stojko or Brian Boitano and others could still beat all of these guys.

[Howlin]

At the end, when she threw herself on the bed.......I think you're right.

[Howlin]

I agree!

[Miss Marple]

Another gripe against NBC..in past years they used to announce what the music was going to be. Now they don't.

[skateman]

Yeah moguls was hard to understand, I did enjoy the half-pipe. Don't know why they don't just say he did a 2 revolution turn, instead of saying, "Oh wow, he did a 720".

[StarFan]

Yup during the pre-game interview last Tuesday he had plenty to say which I posted on the live thread. I didn't know who he was but had to comment on his utter arrogance before his appearance. When he finally appeared I was joined by a chorus of freepers echoing my sentiments.

Later on in the interview he made the statement that some 'republican people' might not accept him adding they can "eat it" or "shove it". Frankly I never heard him say "southern republicans" merely "republican people". Regardless he's correct in his assumption -- this republican doesn't like him.

[skateman]

His piano concerto?

[silent_jonny]

ice dancing.....YES.....

You're such a girl :)

[A Citizen Reporter]

Well, I've noticed that they DO name the music, when it comes from a movie. For example, earlier "Pirates of the Caribbean" was named as the music.

[small voice in the wilderness]

Yet another place that would greatly improve if FReepers were on the judging panel! Although, it would be very difficult to refrain from holding up the "In before the zot" sign when Weir skated onto the ice!

[StarFan]

I believe it's a classical piece by Rachmanioff.

LOL
