I don't like getrealandsee because she tries to entertain us by posting childish commentary about Michelle Kwan. Why would a whiny Tonya Harding wanna-be decorate herself with gold medals and to post a bawling commentary about Michelle Kwan? How would a midget who has a mental capacity of a 3rd grader would try to get that far below the level of Tonya Harding competency? Getrealandsee has to see how far MY patience is going to end up if she doesn't redeem herself soon.
Switching gears, Ann Curry is a bumbling idiot who MUST be doinking one of NBC's execs in order to keep her job. Seriously, she's an imcompetent boor.
@johny258 Are you the sister of that retard, getrealandchoke? Please jump off a cliff if you couldn't care to shut off that senseless Michelle Kwan bash-a-thon. Enough with the nonsense please. And I bet johny that you are uglier than that elfish Tonya Harding.
I grew up a huge Kwan fan, but I felt she always held back on the difficult jumps, her interpretation of music was great, hence she had great artistry but her spins didn't match up to Sasha Cohen.
One thing I wished Michelle practiced on more was her English.Goodness it was always painful watching her try to articulate herself.I understand as a figure skater sometimes you are isolated for long periods of time without any social interaction, but Michelle as an American seems to have an Asian accent and can barely speak English.Even Kim Yuna speaks better English than her.I'm not being racist, just an opinion.
@beshnola You may not like her voice, but make no mistake: there is absolutely nothing Asian about it. Not even slightly. She was born in California, and she sounds like it. She never lived in Asia, and she doesn't sound like she has.
Admittedly, a mentally retarded person may think she sounds "Asian". But ONLY a mentally retarded person could POSSIBLY think she sounds Asian.
@asterisk911 lol.OMG @ your comment.I meant at times she has an accent like an Asian native that doesn't speak English as their first language.And yes Michelle does seem to have issues articulating herself at times but that's probably due to isolation from skating practices etc.
Kwan needs to work on her public presentation skills. Sheesh the monotone voice sounds like she's reading off a script...maybe throw in a couple inflections and exaggerations to sound sincere. So FAKE...so PHONY!
@allenglandlawns I totally agree and in fact mute this video when commenting:)-:) Totally absolutely P H O N Y all the way....she is a total PHONY period!!!
@getrealandsee CALM DOWN. I kinda thought she was polite and honest in this interview. She seems like a nice person so I don't get what your problem is with her.
@1001icetea She is ALWAYS polite but honest? You are right...on the surface Kwan seems like a nice person....she loves the spotlight...she loves attention...and she dearly cherishes her 'image' and it IS an image of being gracious and sincere. She is in a word: PHONY. She has a very well paid PR team but when she shows her true colors...her real underbelly....she is not very gracious at all.Camera on...script ready...oh the gracious Kwan..camera sneaking up on her...well, that's the
@1001icetea YEAHHH RIIGHHTTT. She turns on that face when the spotlight is on her. A "polite" and "honest" person wouldn't bother stepping on Emily and embarrassing the USA (among her many Olympic failures) in Torino. Kwan is a cheat and a phony.

Back then it was about the sports. Now it’s all just bullshit and figure skating. And I would rather die than watch figure skating, at least in any year that doesn’t involve Tonya Harding trying to cripple someone. It’s always Michelle Kwan this, and Michelle Kwan that, and Michelle Kwan did something she wasn’t supposed to do, or didn’t do something she was supposed to do, and on and on until I want to rip my ears off

@redshark618 :) I just can't get past what damage this wannabe did to so many people, to the credibility of figure skating, and the Olympic Creed. She is the one who should have the common deceny to just disappear from the sports scene totally but her ego and arrogance are beyond the pale and she will always take every opportunity to hog the spotlight. Her opinion is of no value unless of course someone wants to FAIL at 3 Olympics after lying and cheating another skater out of her opportunity
@anubethc45 Who would want to own Michelle Kwan? I mean really? She's been bought and paid for by USFS anyway and even though they would probably like to take advantage of buyer's remorse it's too late...not to worry...she won't wander far from a camera or a microphone so you'll see plenty of her.

Pardon me for asking, but if Olympic medals are bunk, why bother competing for them? Michelle Kwan certainly didn't go to Torino for the pasta; she wanted a gold medal, man! She wanted it so badly, she was literally ready to bust a gut to get it!

Seriously? Kwan destroyed Emily's dream...crapped all over the Olympic Creed...screwed the USA over....and made figure skating a JOKE just as she the LOL is!! And thanks to the LOL Emily didn't get her chance...cwybaby kwan wanted the Olympic Gold Medal and boo hoo hoo....not to worry that even when she was in TOP shape she couldn't CUT it...
Michelle is so beautiful. And so accomplished--both on and off the ice. She is finishing her graduate work in diplomacy this year. I can't wait to see her change the world.

It is not China that bashes US but it is US bashing China all the time. China bashing has been promoted by the AMerican media, politicians and anti-China organizations for political purposes but not for the benefits for the people of China and US.
The woman in the orange dress at the beginning, is the most annoying person on the planet. I feel sorry that Michelle had to sit and listen to that idiot talking and laughing before she was introduced.
@deeprose4 Michelle Kwan would wait forever to get in front of a camera and be interviewed. She craves the spotlight. Too bad the monkey had to listen to HER!
Michelle always look so gorgeous and gracious and she is eloquent. It it wonderful that she went back to take her degree at age 28. And now she is in graduate school like she planned. The world is her oyster. Maybe she can run for President one day!!!!
@AuntSpode8899 Hmmm..personally I don't think Michelle Kwan has a very pretty face, because her nose is kinda wide and her teeth isn't perfect. But what makes her really beautiful is her charisma, eloquent, and grace. This makes you realized that it's not the outside that makes a person beautiful, and sometimes when you are beautiful on the inside, it brings it out and it shows it.
Michelle has been on the world stage since she was 13 years old. She has behaved impecabbly in all the years I have watched her. People all over the world admire her for "her whole package," the same way you appreciate her. It is the correct way to judge a person. Sometimes I cannot believe somebody can be so smart, ambitious, successful, strong, and yet so diplomatic, wise, gracious, kind, sincere, and considerate towards others. People don't see any "defects" about her because of that.
@leopard2581 Outside beauty is not what makes a person beautiful. It is her inner beauty that Michelle Kwan has shown. Her shape of her nose is not very important.
RR2023 and May550, If Michelle Kwan was as boring like you just inaccurately describe her, then people like you wouldn't be watching her skate. And she wouldn't even have as many fans either. This is simply the truth.
Michelle Kwan a boring skater? I find that incredibly hard to believe. Not really. She has some incredible strength not seen by today's skaters and who are as dull. Rachael Flatt cannot be seen as superior to Michelle Kwan. Flatt also can't stand up to skaters like Michelle Kwan, Mirai Nagasu, and Sasha. Nagasu currently shares the same coach as Michelle Kwan did when she was competing.
Michelle Kwan is absolutely amazing. Watching her performances has moved me to tears more than I ever thought someone in figure skating would...Michelle forever!
Michelle is very gracefull, and powerfull. It is beautifull to watch her skating. I love watching her, I wish she would compete in the olympics this year, all well. But in my mind, she is the best female skater. Period.
Michelle would NEVER be able to compete with todays girls. At least Sasha's EARNING her way onto the Olympic team and not pulling what Michelle did, she thought the judges would just hand her the chance to go to Torino, and then when she went she hurt herself on the very first jump she did in practice....SHE cost Emily valuable time and maybe Emily could have made the podium in Torino. Washed up loser you ARE MICHELLE!
@May550 You are wrong about Michelle Kwan. You know nothing about Michelle Kwan. Michelle Kwan is no more boring than Rachael Flatt. She's completely makes me yawn. Rachael Flatt's spirals are so ugly and shapeless. You must not have eyes properly plastered on your ugly face. Michelle Kwan has more artistry than Rachael Flatt.
