Used to like this routine but now I cringe when I hear the music. Can understand it is T&D's trademark, but don't we need a change for the final dance? Actually, I always thought their Barnum & Bailey routine was more fun

Absolutely!
It's become so old hat; tbh I can't even stand listening to the music anymore, even when it's nothing to do with skating! T&D had a few great routines which could be utilised. |

Jorgie's Bolero might be good, though.

I'd rather see Mack and Mabel or their Paso Doble.

It's still an iconic piece in and of itself, but (for that reason) the contestants can't really do it justice IMO. I did toy with the idea of whether I'd like to see other T&D routines emulated but on reflection I'd much rather they create something showstopping of their own. (but I don't want the flying back!)

I actually prefer Grishuk and Platov's Rock n Roll routine which knocked T&D to third place in their 1994 Olympics comeback.
It was so fresh, fast and exhilarating and made T&D's routines look dated. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=27cZ4...eature=related |

Grishuk had a sexy outfit, for sure.

I don't like it much, I don't really see what's so amazing about it. I prefer the normal routines they do every week. I love the flying one best.

Sorry to disappoint you guys but it won't ever change. We on here are not representative of the wider viewing public who would probably be shocked if it changed.
Yes they did some other fantastic routines but Bolero is still seen by most people as iconic in a way that Barnum and Mack & Mabel will never be. |

Much as I love Jayne and Chris, I've never liked this piece of music, it's soooooooo boring.

I'm not bored with it, actually find it rather spine-tingling!

Yes!
At first I looked forward to the finalists doing it, and seeing T&D perform it but now, I'm over it. The way they go on about it leading up to the final....it's like we're about to witness the second coming! |

And I can say the same for many of their routines. |

I totally agree. It is so overused that I am sick of hearing it now!

The only Bolero I am interested in is Jayne and Chris's original one....

Bolero has been done to death now and in fact I much prefer Jayne and Chris' Paso d'Oble done to 'Capriccio Espagnol' - always have done.

LOL, I'm totally bored with T&D, too. Surely there are some other skaters that can fill their skates for the next series.
