I loved Emily's "I'll Stand By You"... Michelle Kwan's "Fields of Gold" and others... but generally I'm all about the thrill of the competition. I see what you mean, but having watched a few of the TEB videos besides Emily's, I just don't see the appeal at all. They all seem to be: skate a bit, JUMP! skate a bit, JUMP! skate a bit, JUMP!... There's more jumping than skating. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but one thing I love about exhibition routines, like Emily's "Taking Chances," or her delightful "Proud Mary," is that while there are a few jumps, most of the time is spent actually skating, which I really love to see. The competition angle, I can definitely understand, but I prefer the way exhibtion routines are put together. Edited by kioewen, Nov 17 2008, 04:41 AM.
