If there isn't at least one "Pirates of the Caribbean" program, is it really a major competition? #HansZimmerStrikesAgain #StateoftheSkateMUSIC

It’s the Prokofiev for me. One of those warhorses I’m almost always happy to hear on the ice

Yeah it's hard to imagine anything from the late 90s without including Spears/Aguilera/NSYNC... and I like the emphasis on EARLY-era Carey! #StateoftheSkateMUSIC #Figureskating #Icedancing
I haven't seen many, if any, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, or NSYNC programs announced yet, which is surprising. Those were some favorites when I was a teen in the 90s! Some early-era Mariah Carey would be nice to see, too. Oh, and Ace of Base!

Wow, great edit on "The Chain" for Beck Strommer. I think I might like it better as an SP than a FS! #StateoftheSkateMUSIC #PrevagenUSChamps

I'm not sure which part of this particular #StateoftheSkateMUSIC you'll like better-- "Sinnerman" (associated most w/J.Brown) or "Bolero" (associated w/MANY)-- but it's popular... and all the links are now updated! Go give it a read, won't you?
