I think Dick Button made a comment about the music at ice skating competitions now. He doesn't like the modern selections, and he says some skaters now just throw their moves together to meet the new skating scoring system. I think Peggy Fleming also said that music selection is very important, if the crowd can't get into the music, usually the ice skater doesn't connect with the crowd.

They also said that more and more skaters are not connecting with the crowds when they skate. They complained about how slow some skaters were skating and the lack of passion. I agree with most of their comments.

I agree. Evan was the exception. The Russian and the Swiss guy will possibly have good music.

WHO is getting these kids to skate with this bad music?

I agree. How can you connect with the audience when they can't clap to the music. No rhythm, just a crazy beat. Makes you want to snap your fingers when it's over.
