@ rebekah457: This is why I think skaters in competition should avoid music which includes vocals. A too literal interpretation of the lyric can look merely illustrative at best (and usually looks crass and obvious). With a little research they, or whoever chose their music, could have found a recording of an orchestral suite of 'Phantom of the Opera' from which to take excerpts. This does not detract from their skating... they are an eminently watchable couple.

I agree with those who say "Music of the Night" is a fantastic choice for figure skating music; however, I will never understand why no one in the world can choreograph it to even resemble the lyrics! Hello! It's right there for you choreographers! Why can't there be a slightly slower moment where he can gently "turn her face away from the garish light of day"? Just how hard would that be anyway?

Best of luck at nationals.

Go Meryl and Charlie !!!

This choreography was sooo musical. One of the most musical ice dance teams I have ever seen. His strength and elegance and her poise, gentle elegance, and beauty make them an exquisite team. I LOVE this choreography and how one move flows to the next. At first I thought oh gosh another Phantom of The Opera program...but the choreography, energy, passion, and musicality made is WONDERFUL! Bravo you two.

*sigh* i don't care what anyone says: I love them, I love this music, and I love this program.

Best of luck to them at Nationals and the Olympics!

They can skate it much better than this. Let's hope next time they come out with better skating.

Even with meryl's error on the twizzle it was pretty good - they skated well enough to win the event.

The choice of Music Of the Night for their FD is a fantastic choice. It´s very popular,everybody knows it , it´s easy to sind along , its easy to understand . That´s why their this FD is already a hit!

New SB for them. Congratulations! They beat V/M in program components. They could improve in their technical for Vancouver. It's time for them to be recognized as US no. 1 dance team. Enough of figure skating politics.
