Agree, I find B&S interpretation much more sophisticated.

I've watched the 2 of them since barbara underhill first highlighted their spectacular throws and jumps at the 1996 worlds .... never the judges' favourite through the yrs, their technically superb programs have frequently been placed behind programs with at least one botched side by side ... instead of lashing out, they kept working on the finer points of skating and this program really is the fitting finale to the end of a fabulous pairs career

Hongbo doesn't have Anton's body line. Shen/Zhao's performance is more into the communication between the two and them to the music. Elena and Anton had much better lines and their movements had much better frame, they created beautiful pictures one after another in their movements but they rarely looked at each other and they both skate to the music. Shen/Zhao are more skating with the music. In another word, the music is less relevant to Shen/Zhao than to Elena and Anton. I love both programs
