Gelsey is my favorite in this role, but Makarova is excellent, as always.

I have a high level of respect for ballet dancers. Three words: TOES OF STEEL. ^_^

Huh. Not as good as I was expecting (I'm surfing this variation from one performer to another at the moment), based on -- among other things -- her Juliet. A little stiff and even shaky at times.

I believe that the Russians plan to honor her at the Mariinsky in November on occasion of her 70th birthday.

I've always found Kirkland too idiosyncratic for Giselle. She's wonderful but she makes Giselle into Gelsey and not the other way round.

@bang2b: That's a really interesting remark. I love Kirkland as Giselle, I think that the gentle fragility she brings to the role (and not just in terms of her physical appearance) suits the character very well. However, you are right, it's what she does: she makes Giselle into Gelsey, just as, in other ways, she makes Kitri and Swanilda into Gelsey.

She's incredible, but she's second best in this to me, tied with Fracci. Gelsey Kirkland will always BE Giselle of all the performances I've ever seen live.

Out of all the variations I've done, this is my favourite :) it's so gorgeous, and the musical is beautiful!

she looks a lil bit awkward, I prefer her in other performances, such as swan lake or don quixote. However i agree with the fact that she's amazing.
