Here more report\'s from the girls who attended the show /Gusya,Ribka,analgin and etc./


About Albena and Timur:
Это еще одни мои любимчики!!! Номер обалденный! Албенка красотка и зажигалка, а Тимур - SUPER STAR!
Потрясающие шаги, потрясающая лунная походка, потрясающий артистизм!!! Меня поразило насколько параллельно они всё делали, и то как Тимур пел во время катания
Удивительно харизматичная, милая, чудесная пара!

Another one of my favorite pairs.The dance is amazing.Albena is beauty and fire,and Timur -SUPER STAR!
Terrific steps,moonlight walk ,artistism!!!I was astoned how paralel was everithyng they did and how Timur was singing during the dance.
Wonderful,charismatic ,sweet and amazing pair!!!



На третем месте в моем рейтинге Албена-Тимур. Под Джексона \"Billy Jean\". Вылетело совершенно из головы название фильма, где в лифте мужики открывают чемоданы и меняют себе головы). Они в одинаковых черных блестящих костюмах, на штанах светлая лампаса, по одной светлой перчатке, шляпы. Тимур так классно двигается а-ля Джексон! Это обалдеть просто! Начало такое- они наклоняются над чемоданами и увидев друг друга начинают танцевать. Была потрясающая лунная дорожка! При чем Тимур ее делал даже лучше! Очень много движений в стиле Джексона! Была одна поддержка (или две), на вторую не пошли... но обыграли. Зажгли! После интервью Насте Тимур на бис еще исполнил дорожку и чуть не навернулся. А Марат пытался повторить, но не очень успешно.

Third in my rating list are Albena-Timur.Michael Jackson \"Billy Jean\".I completely forgot the name of the movie ,where man are opening their umbrelas and changing their heads.They were wearing black sparkling outfits,with one light colored glove,hats.Timur is moving just great in Jackson\'s style.It drives you crazy.At the begining they are bending over the umbrelas and when they saw each other they begin dancing.Awesome moonlight walk.Timur even did it better.Many movements in Jakcson style.One-or two lifts.They fird the audience.After the interview with Nastia,Timur did the walk again .Marat tryed to repeat but not very successfuly.

Viki ! As always !

After listening to this music I again have the impression that this is the perfect music for a new dance for Albena and Maxim!!!

... And I have to admit: I´m really fascinated by this music! I never heard it before, but now I could listen to it again and again...

Many thanks for the link, Viktoria!

According to the quote below (Anya from Russian starsonice-forum) Maxim said in an interview after yesterdays shooting that he prepared this music for a dance for Albena and him for the coming Olympics in Vancouver , but now that IceAge is more impotant at the moment he danced to this music with Tatiana... ( )

Quote :

то, что эту музыку Максим приготовил для ОИ в Ванкувере, чтобы исполнить там произвольный танец с Албеной... но ЛП важнее всего сейчас и вот они катали с Таней.
Таня говорила, что у нее самый быстрый партнер, что нужно соответствовать его скорости.

Please don't kill me but I think it's better that Albie and Max skate in shows Somehow I don't want that they come back and compete till Vancouver It's only my personal opinion, I enjoy so much their skating in Ice Age, in different shows, that I prefer this. Not that I don't want to see them again in competitions, to win medals again... But somehow I "discover" them again. Uh, I can't expalin exactly what I want to say but I hope you understand me. One year ago no one wanted that they retire, but now...


P.S. This music would be perfect for them if they skate in Vancouver.

No , Vania is not only youand you are absolutely right that somehow we rediscover them again in this show.Without to many restrictions and required elements they are showing a different side of themselfs.We all know how creative and original they are but in Ice Age they have an oportunity to present also their artistic abilities.I simply enjoy "dancing -humorous "Albena and "dramatic-romantic "Max.

Yes the music is great IF they would compete in Vancouver.But as mush as i miss seeing them in competitions/is not the same without them / i'd rather see them happy in some shows .JMHO


Petra thank you for the pics ,especialy the first one

Don´t worry about this!

Vania wrote:

Right! Me too ! This means / to make my position clear: I want them to come back only for Vancouver! I don´t want them compete till Vancouver, I only want them to compete in Vancouver ... I hope you understand the difference .

Vania wrote:

Yep, we have to "discover" a lot ... especially in IceAge ...

Vania wrote:

Yes, this would be the completely perfect music!!

Petra and Viki, you said exactly what I meant to say, but I wasn't able to find the right words in English

Someone said in this forum, I don't remember who - one of the Russian girls, that now , when Albena and Max retired, she can finally cheer for Oksana and Maxim Yes, for all of us the ice dance competition isn't the same anymore without A&M, but the good thing is (I'm always trying to find the good side ) that now we can concentrate on the other skaters. I'll quote another girl with whom I completely agree - she said that she wasn't an A&M fan before, because they were concurrents of the Russian skaters (I think she was talking about N&K) but now, in Ice Age, she have discovered them and she wonders how it was possible to not like them before because they're so brilliant, so talented....
Same for me - although Marie-France and Patrice are wonderful skaters, somehow I wasn't able to enjoy their skating and I wanted that they make mistake Otherwise I would like them, if they weren't the strongest concurrents of Albena and Max

Absolutely But I would feel terribly if they don't win the gold medal Because it's the only medal that they deserve.

For those who are interested in this:

Do you want to know who is the choreographer of yesterday´s dance from Maxim and Tatiana? The dance to "Requiem of a dream" that received a 12,00!
The answer you find here :

Spoiler:

Girls, excuse me!! But I should be enormously happy if they decide to compete again!!

They "stopped" badly their competitive career against their's will...

A&M have the proud, true, champions spirit and so it's normal
that they are not satisfied and inside desire to prove to be able to compete again...

Especially Maxim :I think he always needs to fight for
an important goal and can and desires still make it on the ice ( With Albena, obviously).

I dreamed that....I know it's a difficult thing, but I am really happy that Max spoke about this possibility.....

We all will be more than happy to see them competing again. :poklon:Vania is right that anything less than a gold medal is not enough .My deepest fear is that the story with Torvill/Dean ,Fusar-Polli/Margalio and Rita/Povilas will be repeated in favor of the newcommers.But hey,it is not going to be the first or last time they would face situation like this isn't it.They are true skaters and if they decide to compete, i will enjoy their skating from the first to the last minute ,no matter medal or no medal.

Interesting news, indeed... Hmmmm. When listening to that music I somehow had a feeling of this might not just be nice for a dance - but for a real Olympic Games-gold medal-winning-free dance... (And I also think of the Games, and just the Games).
Of all the people here I'm certainly the one who knows Albena and Maxim least, but from what I read, their words, your knowledge of them and everything I learned about their personalities, I think that Maxim is someone who always needs even higher goals to aim at... It would give him the possibility to show that he's not inclined to let his terrible fate kill his ambitions.
If it feels right for them, both of them, if they do it from passion and ambition - not by force - if they both really want it...why not? Time will show...
If they decide to compete, I'll keep my fingers crossed for the duration of the entire games, of course. If they don't, I'll be ever so happy as all of you to see them skating and enjoying themselves in shows!

First of all, Albena looked GORGEOUS in this last dance! Second, what kind of sportsmen would they be if they didn't dream of coming back for the Olympics? THey have the spirit to fight, the ideas, the phisique...EVERYTHING.
There is only a year left until training season. And the music is...breathtaking!

I'm sure they dream about the Olympics, about the gold medal. It's the biggest dream of every athlete. It's only their decision, and whatever they decide to do, it'll be the right decision

Yes, the longest in 1 and a half years we will see what will be...

I only want to add to this: You´re right, yes, their career was "badly" stopped, but nevertheless, with or without the accident, it´s fact that some days before the crash they both made the decision to pause for one year or two and then want to think of coming back for Olympics... So even without the accident there would have been a pause in their competitive career ...

Wohoo again will be 12.00!
I'm really impressed with a dance discription in advance!
Looking forward to watch it finally tomorrow!

I will watch a little bit later this evening... At the moment I´m waiting for the "PC doctor" and have to stop now...

Max and Tatiana are definitely the best pair in this project!! I'm speechless... what a wonderful performance... and this lift Tania should be very brave to do such a lift She's the luckiest girl in Ice Age, because she has the best partner

Thank you, Tatiana and Max!!!

WOW! I had time to watch now!

The dance of Max and Tanya is really mega-fantastic! That she can skate like this - unbelievable, I´m speechless too!

Vania wrote:

in one word: simply "MAXIM"...

And with this lift they could start at "normal" competitions...

Petra wrote:

Absolutely! But what Albie is going to do - skate with Timur?

It's amazing how Tatiana learned to skate so well in a couple of months. I'm sure that very few people (non professional skaters) could improve so fast.
After this dance I wasn't impressed by anyone else... Definitely the best dance of the evening and one of the best in the show so far

OMG
This dance of Tanya and Max was really unbelievable!
It made shivers run down my spine...what an expression!!
Max is genius, what to add more They deserve the first place in this project!

Albie and Tima were amazing as well! Timur is progressing step by step!
Albie is stunning as always!
And her saying about glove with needles for spanking Timur just
